Pizzeria Uno Restaurant & Bar

New York, New York, United States

Pizzeria Uno

Pizzeria Uno is a chain of restaurants that grew from the original Chicago Pizzeria Uno. They claim to have invented the Chicago style deep dish pizza. Their deep dish pizzas are typically quite good.

This location is in the South Street Seaport pedestrian pier in New York City. It is a fairly large location - there is lots of seating available.

Broccoli and Cheddar Soup

Broccoli & Cheddar Soup

The broccoli and cheddar soup was just a cheese cream soup with a couple chunks of broccoli in it. It was ok, but nothing special.

Chef's Choice Deep Dish Pizza

Chef's Choice Deep Dish Pizza

We chose to order our deep dish pizza with pepperoni, broccoli, and red peppers. The pepperoni was a bit funny - it was quite dry. I don't know if it just hadn't baked into the pizza properly, but I thought that was a bit strange.

Although it's an individual pizza, the deep dish pizzas are pretty thick. We didn't have a problem sharing the individual size between two people. We shared the above soup, and just barely managed to finish the individual pizza.

From what I remember, the larger size pizzas are even thicker than the individual sizes. It's more like a pizza lasagna than a typical pizza. The size is deceiving - they are filling! Although the individual pizza was very similar to their other sizes, it was a little bit different. I prefer the typical deep dish pizza where they serve it to you still hot in the pan.
