The Original Gino's East of Chicago

Gino's East of Chicago began in 1966 when two taxi drivers and a friend, frustrated with rush hour traffic, decided to open a pizzeria just off Michigan Ave. and Superior St. in Chicago. The Original Gino's East became an instant legend with local Chicagoans, national celebrities and visitors from around the world. Their famous deep-dish pizza tastes the same as it did back then.

Each pizza is made by hand and features its own unique look. Each legendary pizza is created with a secret, golden crust, fresh vine-ripened tomatoes, and loaded with your choice of fresh ingredients. Once baked to perfection these enormous pies are brought to your table in our well-seasoned pans. If your tastebuds aren't craving their famous deep dish or thin crust pizzas, Gino's East offers a delicious alternative. A full menu features homemade appetizers, pastas made with a rich and tasty marinara sauce, salads filled with an abundance of fresh vegetables and sandwiches to fill any sized appetite. In a city known as the "Pizza Capital of the World", The Original Gino's East is still the number one pizza restaurant where customers from near and far return year after year to scribble their names into the wood and stucco walls of their flagship restaurant in downtown Chicago.

The pizza is incredible and, if you are in Chicago, you shouldn't miss dining at this establishment but be prepared to wait because the line can be mighty long!
