The Best Thin Crust Pizza in Chicago
Tavern-Style
TrAdition
Thin crust pizza in Chicago has a rich tradition of its own. Often referred to as "tavern-style," this pizza is known for its cracker-thin, crispy crust and square-cut slices that make it perfect for sharing with friends and family. Unlike the doughy, foldable slices found in other parts of the country, Chicago’s thin crust is baked to perfection, giving each bite a satisfying crunch.
At Gino’s East, we honor this tradition by offering thin crust pizzas that maintain the perfect balance of textures—crispy on the outside, but sturdy enough to hold up our premium toppings. The result? A pizza that is both light and flavorful, perfect for those who want to experience Chicago’s pizza culture from a new angle.
