I've been in search of the best Chicago deep dish pizza pretty much since I was born.
I have made stops at such places as Old Chicago, Pizzeria Uno and various other pizza joints claiming to have Chicago style deep dish pizza. And I have of course discovered Zachary's Pizza in downtown Berkeley, CA, which I consider to be the best.
I have now discovered second best.
Oregano's Pizza was FANTASTIC the other night, with an outstanding spinach, mushroom and sausage deep dish pizza topped with unbelievable service. We also tried a stuffed portobello mushroom dish which was just wonderful.
There are still a couple slices in my fridge that I continue to find myself staring at, seeking the right moment to have a secondary experience with this delicious food.
Lastly, they have a "pizza cookie" that I'm pretty sure I can't live without. I've made it this far, but I'm not exactly sure how. I am NOT a dessert person AT ALL... this was possibly the best dessert I have EVER had. You cannot leave this restaurant without ordering one of these!
I highly recommend this great restaurant, however I must say that I was not impressed with the wait. We were on a waiting list for over an hour LATE on a Saturday night... guess you pay for popularity.
