If it’s your first time visiting Chicago, Gino’s East is a great place to go to experience what Chicago deep dish pizza is all about. You’re in for a real treat if you’ve never tasted cornmeal crust.
Pequod’s Pizza aka where to get the “REAL” best deep dish in Chicago
The tomato sauce is perfection, toppings are plentiful and I’ll tell you there is something so wonderful about the perfect amount of crunch to their golden crust.
Step inside and you’ll instantly feel as if you’ve been transported into an Italian grandmother’s home in Italy. The aromas, the art, the carefully selected ingredients, wine and music selection create the perfect setting for your Neapolitan meal.
Maybe it’s a bit crazy I’m recommending a New York style pizza joint in Chicago but I strongly feel it would be a sin if I didn’t, because frankly this place is phenomenal.
Inside you’ll be wowed by the creativity of this place. Old school campers converted into seating, a bullet bar, and a neon sign of the great lakes. It’s the coolest!
