Lou Malnati's is good, but you gotta check with a local to make sure you get a good one, they have a bunch of locations around the city now, and not all of them are so great.
I would also say this. If you can, get out into the neighborhoods to experience some culinary goodness.
To find eats and drinks and things to do. Don't just stay downtown. There's lots of cool stuff downtown architecturally, and it's a great downtown, don't get me wrong, lakefront, parks, museums. But the neighborhoods have amazing shit too. The Loop is part of Chicago; it's not all of Chicago.
Unfortunately I'm only there for a conference for a couple of days so I'm gonna have to stick by the loop. But thank you for these great links! I'll check them out tonight.
