Illinois

Illinois is synonymous with Chicago deep dish — a hearty, cheesy pie that has become a national icon. But Illinois pizza doesn’t stop there. Chicago also offers tavern-style thin crust, while suburbs and downstate communities bring their own family-run traditions. From neighborhood slice shops to modern pizzerias experimenting with new flavors, Illinois is one of the best states for exploring pizza variety. Whether you want delivery or a sit-down meal, Illinois has something to satisfy every craving.
