I have to jump in on the cornmeal issue...THERE IS NONE! Gino's East does not use cornmeal in their dough formulation. It's a food color called "eggshade" that is used to color the crust. Good pizza, don't get me wrong, just no cornmeal. So for "cooky-monster" who said, "The buttery cornmeal, crust plays against all that tomato sauce much better than the standard flour crust." Well, you're off the mark, it is just a "flour crust", but not so standard...and no butter either, corn oil and extra virgin olive oil.Johnny Rockfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06553062375096013210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22317864.post-56030829587345464852008-03-13T12:23:00.000-05:002008-03-13T12:23:00.000-05:00If you're absolutely starving and ready to eat a w...If you're absolutely starving and ready to eat a whole pie, DO NOT go to Gino's. They intentionally make you wait long for your order. On two occasions, I waited for an hour before getting my order. One time was a first date, and nobody likes a cranky first date.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22317864.post-13093994747354226422007-10-01T15:45:00.000-05:002007-10-01T15:45:00.000-05:00Gino's East is my favorite of the major Chicago-st...Gino's East is my favorite of the major Chicago-style pizza chains.

Compared to the other "core" Chicago-style pizza chains I'd rate it ahead of Giordano's and behind Lou Malnati's. I give it a solid 7Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14737205162923174034noreply@blogger.com
