We don’t talk about Gino, no, no, no! Well, once upon a time we did but those days have passed. With the Chicagoland area filled with Lou’s and Gio’s, Gino’s East has taken a back seat in the battle for the best thick crust deep dish/stuffed crust pizza. Other than the 2 Chicago locations, you’d be hard pressed to find a location near you. Lucky for me, the Wheaton location was within 15 mins of my house so I decided to give it a shot. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t quite the same taste that I remembered from Gino’s East 10-15 yrs ago. The crust was dry and lacked flavor that you would find in a Malnati’s deep dish. And the sauce wasn’t as robust nor was the cheese as dense or stretchy as Giordano’s but it was by no means bad. But then again, it was never as good as the other two but at least it held its own with its distinct cornmeal crust. Now its just dry and lacks flavor. Next time, I’ll try to hit one of the Chicago locations and eat inside the restaurant instead of carrying out. Oh, and hopefully I’ll remember to just stick to the basic cheese instead of the OMG w/basil because it became somewhat of a distraction as my main focus was to be satisfy my ravenous appetite with tons of gooey melted cheese.

Ordered a deep dish with crumble Italian sausage and it was delicious! The crust was the perfect amount of crunchy and very slightly chewy. Normally I don't really like pizza crust but this was an exception! It took a while to get but that's what's expected for a deep dish, but while we were waiting, our server was very hospitable. The place itself was also super cute: it's in an old fire station and everything is themed around firefighters and fire stations. A bunch of old firefighting memorabilia decorated the building. The vibe was very classic pizza place-esque. The building was nice and clean. If you're looking for a place with good food and a warm, comforting interior aesthetic, I'd definitely recommend Gino's.

I do miss the lack of location that Gino's East has nowadays. This location does not disappoint. The pizza's how I remember it and it's super tasty. If you're looking for deep dish, look no further than Gino's East. My kids loved the thin crust pizza. It was super cheesy and tasted great. The breadsticks are not with they used to be. They are thicker and not as garlicky. The chicken tenders were really good. They also had a decent beer selection. Make sure you order before you get there or you're going to wait 40 minutes for your deep dish pizza to be ready.

When I think of Chicago pizza, Gino’s East is the first pizza I think of! Definitely my favorite Chicago deep dish. I tried out the Wheaton location and it was kind of odd. I was seated in a room with no one else. As I was getting ready to leave it became more busy but certainly nothing like the downtown locations. The overall vibe was of a dated family pizzeria. The decor was meh. The service was good and the pizza was delish. I think in the future I will chance the traffic and head downtown.

I was craving a good pizza, so my cousin took us to Gino's. I had their Cesar Salad with a dip dish sausage pizza, which had a big sausage patty, a lot of cheese, good sauce and delicious crust. I was so satisfied with my meal. Our Server Cooper was so nice and attentive. The Atmosphere was nice and clean. I recommend you give this location a try. OH, I also had their delicious Bruschetta.

Saturday around dinner time. We were greeted and sat right away. Our server was quick and attentive. We were undecided about appetizers, so our server recommended spinach sticks. (great choice) Our pizza was delicious! I hadn't seen this in a while, but the manager was walking around to make sure customers were taken care of. It was a great dining experience for my family and I. Thank you!
