RIVER NORTH.   Chicago-style pizza has won droves of ardent fans, and this restaurant is probably the downfall for most of them. Just try to resist the irresistible, deep-dish Chicago pizza with oozing cheese, rich sauce, and fresh toppings from its crisp, cornmeal-infused crust. The spacious dining room seats 500 but still the lines form, and people eagerly await what is considered the best pizza in the town (or maybe anywhere). The ambience is casual with graffiti-covered walls (no profanity!) and dark booths. But people don't come here for the environment; they come for the pizza. You can even take a frozen one home if you call ahead.   (© 10Best)

Not for out of towners
If you are accustomed to 'normal' pizza crust, the taste of Gino's East crust may not taste very good to you. The sauce and toppings(?) are delicious, but with the crust being there in every bite, it could leave you with a bad impression. It is a flaky, dry crust, heavier but similar to a cherry pie crust in taste. As others have said, if you order a pizza, bring a book, because even if you place your order immediately, you will be waiting a LONG time (think 45 minutes) for your pizza to get to you.
