Editorial Review for Gino's East – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
Lit with chandeliers, candles and the occasional drift of sunlight, every inch of this Chicago classic's dim interior is covered in customer-inscribed graffiti. The place gets packed with busfuls of out-of-town visitors and school groups; good thing service is on the ball and the waiting room is amply sized.
The Food
The pizza's polenta crust is light and crispy, and slices are so big it's difficult to stretch your mouth around them. Once you do, rich, creamy mozzarella and zesty tomato sauce await. Crumbled sausage, spicy and mouthwatering, makes for an even better topping. Gino's East also serves sandwiches and thin-crust pizza as well as monstrously sized pastas.

I agree with the person who wrote stating that, as minorities they had received terrible service. That was also our experience at Geno's. Our waiter looked put out that he had to serve us and treated every request with a roll of the eyes. He eventually changed his attitude but, by this time, our visit to this place had been ruined. The pizza also wasn't as good as the one that I had at Pizano's the night before (better service too!). The calamari was so so and served with a cold seafood sauce, spinach sticks were ok. Overall, not a good experience and would not recommend it.
Cons: terrible seats & customer service

Fantastic pizza. Just what you would want from a Chicago pizza place. Watch out for long lines, but if you have a little extra time, it is well worth the wait. It has great atmosphere, and is nice to eat in if you don't mind a lot of people.
Pros: Great food
Cons: A lot of customers, meaning slower service
