Moustafa A.Moustafa Almaliki: This restaurant serves one of the best deep dish pizzas around and it’s only a 4 minute walk from East West University! I would highly recommend eating here for the connivence and taste.

Serious EatsSerious Eats: The Malnati Chicago Classic combines a signature buttercrust with their awesome well-seasoned homemade sausage. It's one of the best deep dish pizzas known to man.

Leo A.Leo Alberti: They claim a "small" pizza will feed two people, but they don't mention that it will never fill the new void in your life caused by not having this pizza. Get a large, bring some home. Trust me.
