We walked to Lou Malnati's. It was delicious and cheap! The location over there was nice and was just a normal casual restaurant, so fine for going alone as far as I could see.
I don't know if it's best Chicago pizza, but it was really good:)
Update (I know you've all been waiting to hear how this went!): a kind Chicagoan offered to accompany me so I was willing to leave the neighborhood. Went to Pequod's, and it was delicious.
Also, thank you for informing/indulging me as I always enjoy a pizza discussion and there truly are no wrong answers

But how does it compare to NY style?
Apples and oranges! Each style is delicious in its own way.
No client dinner tonight thank god and one of my coworkers has asked for us to get pizza. So this advice gets a second wind! Think I'll suggest Lou's (I've been twice before and liked it).
I have had weekday nap time the last two days and get two pizza meals on this trip. I am currently on a nice walk and the sun is out. If this isn't living the dream, I don't know what is.
So, not remembering if you live in California or not, but there's a place called Mesa out here (Silverlake area of los Angeles) that is a GREAT Chicago style pizza place. (They print Go Bears on every receipt.)
Have you had Hollywood Pies? So, so good. Definitely rivals Lou's in my mind.
I'm back from Lou Malnati's. Got the cheese (I'm a purist) with butter crust. Pequod's is the winner by the mile. I liked the middle of the Lou Malnati's, but I found the crust very bland. Yummy meal, but Pequod's is better. The bruschetta tonight was very, very good though.

In related news, I am never eating again.
I haven't enjoyed Lou's in probably 8 years. It's gone downhill, IMO. Pizano's is better than Lou's (owned by the other Malnati brother). And I will never in a million years understand people's obsession with Giordano's. Yuck.
Pequod's is the absolute BEST and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I *may* have fibbed a bit about my flight time so I could sneak out to Original Pancake House instead of going to conference breakfast with my coworkers???
(To be fair, I'm not actually signed up for the conference so I'd be stealing breakfast if I went)

I'm having a RAGE moment at Giordano's right now. I wanted to order Lou's on my way home today but they don't open until 4. Ordered from Giordano's. Chicago-style stuffed pizza with just sausage. Too me an hour longer than normal to get home and smelled it in the car the whole time. Get home, open the box and the pizza is covered in veggies. H absolutely hates onions and I really don't like veggies on pizza. I called them and the manager said whoever took the order keyed in the "chicago style" topping combo instead of crust. GRRRRR. Now I'm extra crabby because I sat in traffic for 3 hours and I have pizza I don't really want to eat.
