Do you have to be in the Windy City to get real Chicago-style, deep-dish pizza? Or can you find an excellent approximation in Cherry Creek, at an outlet of a California-based chain whose chef/co-owner, Patxi Azpiroz, was living in San Francisco when he decided to create a great deep-dish pie — in the kitchen of his apartment. From the first location in Palo Alto, Patxi’s has begun to spread across the country, with a third metro location downtown this fall.

Fans of Patxi’s say that a bite of its pizza is the next best thing to sitting down before a big deep-dish pizza in Chicago. Says David:
It’s actually pretty legit. Not better than some of the places in Chicago, but pretty damn respectable.
But some people can’t get beyond location, location, location. Says Rich:
Aside from the look, it won’t taste anywhere near as good as it does in Chicago.
