What Makes Gino’s East Different
Gino’s East has been baking Chicago deep dish since 1966, when two taxi drivers, Sam Levine and Fred Bartoli, and their friend George Loverde opened a pizzeria just off the Magnificent Mile. They hired Alice Mae Redmond, whose patient method of stretching the dough into the pan and secret dough conditioner still give our crust its signature texture and taste.
Every pie is still built the same way: deep dish made with dough mixed from scratch every day, family-grown California tomatoes, Wisconsin cheese and sausage made in Chicago. Then there are the walls. Decades of signatures, doodles and declarations of love from guests cover our dining rooms, and the graffiti is part of the meal.
