In Short

Open since 1955, the three-story brownstone wears its patina with pride. Two sunken dining rooms seat 140 combined, making it more accommodating than sister restaurant Uno, but no less cozy; exposed brick and Chicago-centric bric-a-brac make for an inviting setting. Tourists, conventioneers and knowing locals account for the often unbearable wait.The FoodIf deep dish is king in Chicago, Due is a chief ambassador. The inch-and-a-half deep flaky pies arrive piping hot, appropriately gooey and minimally sauced, no matter the ingredients. Any of the five specialty pizzas are a good idea, especially the trademarked Numero Uno, a hearty combination of cheese, sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, onions and green peppers. The Spinoccoli, (spinach, broccoli, garlic) is a good meatless option. Florence's soup, a thick minestrone in a cheese-topped crock, stand out among standard appetizers and forgettable non-pizza options. If a sweet tooth persists, fluffy spumoni ice cream satisfies.
