My experience at Gino’s East Pizza wasn’t the greatest. They have been slinging pizza since 1963. I was actually glad to go there and eat some pizza, which I hadn’t had since the age of thirteen. My friend Joel Davis and I stopped in there for lunch on our way to school for a quick bite to eat. As soon as you came in the door it was very unprofessional in more ways than just one. We were standing at the host stand for about three minutes before the hostess came out to seat us. OK we are seated, water and menus for our perusal I’m feeling more comfortable now. My only gripe with the seating was the booths were all made for the smaller man not us with the extra couple of coats. The waitress was we had was the host also but she did a hell of a job managing the few tables and the front door. She explained the menu of ordering a deep dish pie would take 45 minutes to an hour. A few minutes later our appetizer appears which is a tasty spinach and Artichoke dip with what appeared to be large croutons that were actually french bread toasted until crispy. After that the deep dish pepperoni comes out the taste of the filling is incredible crust wasn’t the best it sort of taste like cardboard. All in all the taste of the pizza for the forty dollar price was outrageous but the atmosphere was pretty good. I would give the two and one half stars.
Let me know how you feel on pizza in Chicago, whats you favorite pizzeria in Chi-Town!!! M. Jones
