Giordano's, a Stuffed Pizza Classic in Chicago
I love Giordano's! It's almost always the first thing I get when I go back to visit family in Chicago.
In terms of slice size, I don't know exactly how it compares but when I took friends from here (nyc) to Chicago they were usually filled by 1 to 1.5 slices and they all generally eat 2-3 ny slices. I usually go for 3 the first time back...

Sounds like it has potential. I do hope, however, that it doesn't follow the same path as Unwrapped. I feel like that show went from being interesting to being a forum for (mostly) corporations to promote their products.
Uno's, Chicago's Original Deep-Dish Pizza
I must say i don't buy the "it's not a pizza" argument on deep dish, one which has nearly destroyed my relationship with my partner, a die-hard ny chauvinist. Besides, that argument distracts from the fact that Chicago-style thin crust pizza that is really delicious, and totally overlooked. just saying.
I moved to NY from Chicago 7 years ago, and I do share a deep love for NY Pizza, but Chicago Pizza (deep and thin) calls to me from the windy city on a nearly weekly basis.
Daniel - Uno outside of Chicago is nasty. In the first year I lived here I was homesick for some deep-dish and went to one of the Uno chain restaurants. It was truly a terrible experience.
I have to say my favorite Chicago deep dish is probably Pequot's in Lincoln Park and I'm partial to Barnaby's for thin crust.

@worldcupfever: I've had a good number of pizzas from Lou's sent to me over the years and they turn out quite good. The only thing that I've had a problem with is making sure the crust gets crispy enough, the key to which I think is making sure it's thawed out all the way before sticking it in the oven.
Not as good as getting a pie in Chicago but as close as I've come in nyc, short of making my own.
