Gino's East

Nick's parents were in town and wanted to try a true Chicago tradition. So we went to Gino's East for deep dish pizza. We've been to the original locations downtown, but in order to save some time we went to the location near O'Hare airport. The location was fairly quiet compared to downtown, but that might have been because we went there on the night before Thanksgiving.

We chose to have a family style salad and a deep dish supreme pizza with a sausage patty layer.  For the non-Chicagoans, the sausage patty is layer of sausage spread over the entire crust so that you get sausage in every bite, instead of crumbled sausage.

Final thoughts on Gino's East:
Food - tasty, always want more and very filling
Service - attentive service as it was a slow night at the restaurant; they kept the drinks full and kept us informed on how long the deep dish pizza would take to make (about 40 minutes)

Atmosphere - casual, although sad we couldn't draw on the walls like in downtown Chicago
