Deep Dish pizza in LA?

Help
I have a horrible craving for Chicago style deep dish pizza. I have done city search and looked on the LA weekly site and can find no listing for it. So does any one know where this delight can be found in the LA area?

(I do like NY style too, but thats not what I'm craving. I have that a couple of weeks ago.)

to the best of my knowledge there is NO place in LA that does proper Chicago deep dish. No place that does anything even close.

if you find one, let me know.

I know Chicago restraunts like Edwardos and Gino's East and Lou Matinanles(SP?)....ships Chicago style pizza frozen on Dry Ice with baking instructions...

dooooooood.....bloodandtits. I'm so in love with you right now.

edwardo's
Gino's
Lou Malnati's

Anybody want to tell me which is best here?

maybe they're too expensive. maybe I'll just fly to chicago.

seriously

I'd like a philly cheese steak. in fact I want one of those in the worst way right now

1. Damiano's - Mr.pizza on venice and normandie in hollywood. they got deep dish but they call it sicilian. thats damianos not dominos.

or there is a couple good spots in north hollywod.
2. Joe Peeps at whitsett and riverside.
3. Mazzarinos at coldwater and riverside.
4. Little Toni's at that fucked up intersection where riverside, camarillo, lankershim and vineland collide

there. i just gave u 4 of the best pizza places i ever ate at after living in l.a. for 18 years. enjoy, i will be here in minnesota eating shitty pizza.

my favorite is edwardo's....but here's the diffrences...

edwardos...natural wheat crust....
Gino's....a cornmealish crust...
Lou Malnati's i only had at a street fair i visited on my trip back from LA....it was good but I'd go with one of the other 2....

honestly they are not that much more than they are at the restraunt....

But you should go to Chicago anyways...it's the best place I've ever lived....

another nice pizza is in venice and santa monica called abbot's pizza
home of the bagel crust pizza
yum, but not really your chicago deep dish

I make the best pizza in southern California, literally.

I'll take two! you can ship to the UK right?

When I lived in New Orleans we had a friend visiting from Chicago buy one for us in the airport and bring it with her. Altho this frozen pizza is good, your home oven doesn't cook it right. It's good but not the right flavor.

giordanos is my favoritest of favorites

didn't we have an sgla meet at that joint in burbank that serves deep dish?

I love Frankie and Johnny's. Pizza is good and the beer is cheap!

Abondanza you ding dongs!!!!!!!

As a transplanted NY'er who lived for 18 years on the best pizza in the world, my reccommendation is D'Amore's Pizza Connection which can be found at numerous locations throughout LA. They ship all of their ingredients from Boston, water included. It'd be better if it was from NY, but beggars can't be choosers. They also make fairly good non-pizza related Italian meals. Their chicken parmigana is great and they have good spaghetti and meatballs. It's the only place in LA I'll get pizza from. Ok, maybe Mullberry St. once and a while, but that's it.

Mulberry St. is OK, kinda salty.

Best Pizza in LA (non deep dish) has got to be Casa Bianca in Eagle Rock. Sooooooooooooo good. I used to live right down the street from it when I first moved to LA and truly did not value what I had. Now I have to make periodic pilgrimages.
