Gino's East

Gino's East is a good deep dish pizza place with a nice atmosphere in the downtown Chicago area. The service at this location was good with us getting right in and being helped promptly. We were able to get our drinks in short order and also received our breadsticks shortly after placing our order. I do wish they had cheese sauce but they do have a garlic butter or marinara dipping sauce which proved to be pretty good. The deep dish pizza did not disappoint with the pepperoni and sausage being flavorful in decent proportion to the tomato sauce. The pizza also didn't take too long for a deep dish pizza so that was nice as well. A good visit overall!

I would like to applaud Gino's for offering Vegan cheese! 👏 I am not vegan, but I am lactose intolerant and it meant the world to me to be able to eat Chicago deep dish with the rest of my family! It was just as good as real cheese. It was also only a few extra dollars, definitely worth those $3.Thanks again for this option.

Our server, Jason was attentive and enthusiastic. He answered our questions about the menu and even brought in the chief of the kitchen to make sure that my allergen questions were addressed fully. He had deep dish pizza with two halves custom made for our group. The thin crust Margarita Pizza also being a hit. Our football enthusiasts does not have to miss the game as they were on the large screen TVs all around the room. It was awesome and we WILL be back again!

Ordered 4 pizzas and all of them were pretty great (Meaty Legend, Sausage/Pepperoni, Margherita, Spinach Artichoke) Deep dish pizza dough was buttery and soft, toppings were tasty, tavern slices were perfect mix of cheese/sauce/toppings. I've been a Lou's fan for a long time but Lou's han steadily been decreasing in quality while Gino's has been a pleasant surprise.

We ordered the Meaty Legend Deep Dish Pizza here. It had a lot of Pepperoni, sausage, bacon, and cheese. It was hot, fresh, and savory. But it got a bit salty after one slice. The crust was surprisingly crispy, feel like it is not a pizza dough, but a pie crust. It’s the first time I have tasted this type of pizza crust. We also ordered the Charred Brussels Sprout. It’s flavorful with a lot bacon. The restaurant has really special decorations. All wall and seats have written marks.

We were here at dinner time but it was a Sunday evening so it wasn't busy. The football game was on pretty much every screen (as it should be in Chicago) and the staff was pretty attentive. It was the same delicious pizza I remembered from working at a Gino's location back in 2005-2008 and the same amazing appetizers with a few more added in. Drinks are a bit more expensive but I guess that's the price of the city.

Went there to experience the classic deep dish pizza and I was not disappointed. The pizza was delicious, with a ton of cheese. Great crispy pie. I also had the cheese stick appetizers which were really good, crispy and cheesy as well, tasted home made. Great service! They also have a bar with a great selection of drafts!

Tell me how I go to a famous pizza place and have one of the best salads I have had in a while. It had pasta and grilled chicken in it real tears 😢 lol of course the pizza was amazing. This is my first time in chicago. I had to see if the hype was real, and yes, it is lol Definitely check this place out when you visit Chicago!!

We always come here when out-of-towners want REAL deep dish pizza! As usual, we were not disappointed! The pizza was ooey gooey deliciousness and their Octoberfest beer was light and tasty. The best part of the experience was our server! So polite, funny, engaging and attentive! Don’t miss out on this place!
