Gino's East · Chicago
The golden-crust, graffiti-walled Mag Mile deep-dish landmark, going since 1966.
Why we recommend Gino's East in Chicago
Gino's East is a Chicago deep-dish landmark with a story as distinctive as its crust. It opened in 1966 when cab drivers Sam Levine and Fred Bartoli, with friend George Loverde, set up a block off the Magnificent Mile. It became famous for two things: a golden cornmeal crust unlike any other deep dish in town, and decades of customer graffiti scrawled across its walls. This original-site Mag Mile flagship carries that history forward.
What to expect in the room and on the menu
