" Gino's East was my go-to for deep dish pizza back in the day, and I finally revisited after hearing high praises again. Unfortunately, it fell a little flat for me this time. The pizza was decent, but the flavors just didn't scream 'Chicago' like I remembered. Plus, I encountered some delays in service. They seemed under-staffed, and it showed. I’ll give them another chance, but they need to step it up a bit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic pizza, worth the wait every time! The deep dish is a little different from typical pizzas, but that's what makes it great. When I went, it was hot and fresh, with gooey cheese and a crispy crust. I do wish the service was a bit more organized as we had to wait some time for refills, but overall, I'd recommend it to anyone craving deep dish pizza. A great restaurant for either lunch or dinner! " (*Curated Review*)

" We went in last Saturday for dinner, and it was quite crowded. After a somewhat long wait, we were seated and immediately placed our orders. The deep dish pizza was good but not great, as I found the cheese overly greasy. The crust was nice and flaky, but the toppings felt a bit sparse. The server was nice, though a bit rushed due to the crowd. Overall, a decent experience, but I might try a different restaurant next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" The deep dish pizza at Gino's East is something you've got to try! I personally love the sausage option. The crust is buttered just right, and it's filled with tons of toppings. It can take some time to prepare, so plan accordingly, but it's well worth the wait. However, I did experience a slip in service, as our server seemed overwhelmed with too many tables. It took quite a bit longer than expected to receive drink refills. All in all, the food makes up for some service slack. I'll definitely be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to Gino's a couple of times over the years, and it has remained a good option for deep dish pizza. While the atmosphere is always cozy and inviting, and our server was great, I found the pizza to be underwhelming on my recent visit. There was something off about the sauce. However, I am willing to give it another try as sometimes things do vary. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Gino's East for the first time last week, and I must say, the hype is real! The deep-dish pizza I had was everything I hoped it would be – cheesy, saucy, and packed with flavor. The crust was phenomenal, with just the right amount of crunch. The only downside was the service; it seemed a bit disorganized. Our waiter brought out another table's order by mistake, and it took a while to get our actual order sorted out. While the service could use improvement, the food was so good that I would definitely come back to try more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve tried many deep dish pizzas, but none have compared to the one at Gino's East! It has a wholesome homemade taste that reminds me of Chicago. The waitstaff was polite and attentive, ensuring we had drinks while we waited for our pizza, which takes some time to prepare, but believe me, it’s worth it! The ambiance combined with the view made it a perfect evening out with friends. When I’m back in town, I can’t wait to stop by again! " (*Curated Review*)
