Posted By: ctdeano
I have decided to head to the National this year and want to start looking for airline tickets, my first question is.....which airport would be best to fly into for this Midway or O'Hare? My second is, what is the best pizza in town to try while in Chicago that is fairly close to the convention center (with 15 minutes or so). All help/recommendations are appreciated! |

There is a Deep Dish pizza joint about a half mile away from the site. It's located BEHIND a McDonalds in a strip mall next to a gas station* (next to a large hotel whose name escape me but can be seen from the Convention parking lot) on the street of where the convention is held. We actually walked it, not too far if a half a mile isn't too far. The place is amazing. The Deep Dish is amazing and best I have ever had and I've spent some time in Illinois over the years. The place was packed and there was a twenty minute waiting time to be seated and it's one of those establishments where they take your order in advance so the table turnaround is pretty good for the joint. |

Try Geno's East if you like deep dish pizza; best I have ever had. There are a few throughout Chicago - should be easy to find one that you can get to relatively quickly via the El or a cab. |

Geno's East is legendary and great but I believe what this gentlemen wanted was a Pizza joint that is: fairly close to the convention center (with 15 minutes or so). C'mon Forum Members. |

another vote for Giordanos.......deep dish is EXCELLENT! We at at Gino's or Geno's East downtown last year and it really wasn't that great. The crust at Giordanos was fantastic. Right down the road from Stephens Convention Center on Mannheim I believe..... |

If you're thrifty like me, one of the Elevated train lines ends at O'Hare, and the first stop out from the airport is the convention center, about 5 minutes. You need to have small bills and buy a fare card at a kiosk outside the O'Hare station, which, I think might be under a runway. Follow the signs, which can be confusing. It's quite a walk to the station, you go by a couple of lame tourist stores and one of the Hilton's entrances. The Elevated becomes the subway, and it's about 40 minutes to downtown. I've yet to have a problem, and the airport is on the northwest side of Chicago. |

I arrive on Friday and leave on Sunday. The big dinner is planned for Friday right? Does anyone have dinner plans for Saturday night? I would love to make the pizza route but that is too early in the week for me unless some are willing to put it off until the weekend. |
