Dining with David: Gino's East

Gino's East - Chicago, IL - August 23, 2010

The one and only, the original Gino's on Ontario & Wells.  This place has a unique atmosphere (handwriting on walls everywhere) and great food.  I ordered the Deep Dish Meaty Legend: 2" thick of pepperoni, sausage, canadian bacon, bacon with plenty of cheese and sauce.  This is not your typical pizza, it is your true Chicago style pizza.  After 2 slices, I was toast; had to eat three though.  The crust is that special mixture of corn meal and flour with a slight taste of cornbread with a lighter texture; not buttery of greasy; just enough to support all of those ingredients.  Don't be in a hurry, this is not a meal but an experience.  Nothing like that true Chicago flair at Gino's.
