Greatest Chicago pizza ever there! That is my favorite restuarant where they serve you, like with a waiter/waitress. Wendy's is my favorite fast food restuarant though.:D

Ya, for Pizza Uno is pretty good, but I have always found other stuff on their menu to be so-so.

The top photo is the Uno location in Latham (near the Route 2 entrance to Latham Farms).  It was built as Uno a few years back (prior to that the only Uno was one in Crossgates, which had been there since the original mall.

The bottom photo is the Uno (former HoJo) in Poughkeepsie (main street where 44&55 split off).  Can someone please turn the sun down ;);)

My parents used to tell me Ground Round was once like that: they encouraged throwing peanut shells on the floor. Don't know about you, but that strikes me as cool after the first few but if not cleaned up regularly -- nasty.

Anyway, the UNO at Westfarms Mall is now closed. I heard they are renovating that wing with a new entrance and PF Changs. The UNO has been there for over 15 years.

We have an Uno here in Queensbury. Does fairly good I guess. Next to a Sleep Inn, which definitely makes it busy, as well as proximity to Lake George in the summer months.

Uno has filed for Chpater 11 Bankruptcy today. They are still operating, but it looks like they have closed down some unprofitable stores recently. I honestly haven't been to one in years, even though there is one that is only 5 minutes from me. There are too many other authentic, local pizza places in the area, and other chain restaurants, they don't really stand out.

What? They have a restaurant under construction in Newtown Square. The other day, I noticed what looks like either a CVS or Rite Aid under construction. Not sure which, but most likely CVS. It could be Walgreens too.

BJ's has "Uno Express" pizza now. Before that, it was Pizza Hut Express, and briefly a BJ's brand. BJ's even has partnerships with Uno, Brach's, and I think Welch's for their store brand products. So does Target.

Uno has restaurants in Exton, Conshohocken, and Deptford, NJ that I know of. They have an Uno Express at the airport in Houston too. I wonder when this chain made it big... early 90's?

They are one of my favorite pizza places, along with Pizza Hut for the ambiance. Donato's was another one on the gourmet side. I never tried it, but the one in Eddystone closed. The local pizzerias all seem the same to me... and mediocre.

They used to be a lot better, but they got away from any form of authenticity. (If you notice the restaurants no longer go by "Pizzeria Uno".) They got too carried away trying to be like Applebee's, Ruby Tuesday, and every "mediocre" chain restaurant.

The Uno's on South Willow St in Manchester has closed it's doors for good. This happened last Thursday or Friday. Not really a huge surprise to me, the quality of the food became disgusting and less and less people patronized there. I used to drive by saying how are they still open? Well I guess the economy and poor quality finally caught up with them.

A local mexican restaurant chain LaCaretta opened in the former Uno's there it is changed up inside but not by much glad the mexican place is now there free salsa and chips :D the bartender said business is very good there surprisingly which is weird because its the end of S.Willow that doesn't get as much traffic

The only location left in Connecticut is in Milford on the Post Road, when I'm up in the area, I dine there, the staff is friendly, the food is always good, and the service is excellent.

According to  http://uno.know-where.com/pizzeria/ - the answer is NO.

You'll have to go to MA, NY or RI for one.

Ten years ago, there was one on Allen Road in Woodhaven, Michigan by Walmart. It since closed, served as a brewpub called Ashley's for a while and is now a Mexican place called Blue Margarita (http://www.bluemargarita.net).

Uno in Anderson Township, Ohio - outside of Cincinnati - had an interesting history.

They were one of the final tenants to leave Beechmont Mall when it closed in 2003.  However, the space that the restaurant occupied was not demolished with the rest of the mall - the steel beams and rebar were retained so that the new location could be built in the same basic area.
Uno opened with Anderson Towne Centre in 2005 or so, and lasted until approximately 2008.  After this, an upscale seafood restaurant called Michael G's moved in, but lasted less than a year.
Then Uno chose to move back into the SAME spot for a third time.  Recently, their food began to be panned (no pun intended) as well as their service.  They closed their doors for the third and final(?) time earlier this spring, leaving a vacant space.

Not that Anderson Township is affected at all by its loss.  We still have local chains such as Mio's, Dewey's and LaRosa's, as well as Papa John's, Donato's, Jet's, Domino's, Mama Mimi's, Little Caesars, and Pizza Hut.  So much pizza that the Chamber of Commerce actually arranged a pizza taste-testing event last year.
And guess what has opened up right down the strip from the former Uno, where Caribou Coffee once was? Why, it's Pieology...another pizza place.
