So what are the best 2-3 places to get Pizza in Chicago near museums/solider field area?

What exactly are you looking for? Those places aren’t really near the downtown area, but there is a Giordanos (not the original) nearby.

Oh, you’re way far south. That’s McCormick Place. I’ve never really been, but it’s a huge business area so I’m sure they have a ton of restaurants in the area.

For pizza though, I’d make the trip into heart of downtown for Lou Malnatis or Giordanos. But personal favorite, and best in city for Chicago style is Pequod's Pizza. But it’s further north.

Thanks, they each have a location within walking distance of the hotel

Lou's is better, IMO.

Agree for most part. But if you go deep dish (I never do, unless a friend wants to try) I prefer Giordanos. The thin crust and other menu options (Lou’s salad is great) are all better.

If you find yourself in the area of Marysville you need to check out Mad Dogs.  Buddy opened this less than a week before the Government shut down the state but they are surviving. 

 

Made my first trip last night and man, their dogs are amazing.  We got the peanut butter and jelly, and the one with hot cheetos on it.

 

TOP NOTCH!

The barrell tater tots, never had anything like them and man they were amazing.  He even whipped up his brussels sprouts specialty.

 

Yea, brussell sprouts.  Tell you waht, that shit was legit and a must try.

Would give them an 8/8.  It is also a fantastic beer bar.  Looks fantastic inside.

 

Give it a try if you are in the area!
