Gino's East

A 1966 original, this venerable multi-outpost pie slinger has converted many deep-dish skeptics over the decades. The owners keep the recipe, with gooey mozz and peppery tomato sauce over an ample cornmeal crust, locked up in some vault somewhere—so don’t even ask. Roll up your sleeves for inventive combos like the appropriately titled Chicago Fire, laden with hot sausage, roasted red peppers, and red onions.
