Chicago Deep Dish Pizza

Of course I couldn't miss trying famous Chicago pizza while I was there last week. My friends and I headed to Gino's East to try their famous deep dish pizza. The crust is delicious---I found out they put cornbread in it to make it even more thick and tasty. Yum!
they bring the pizza's next to your table and then slice them and serve you individually!
meat lover's pizza....so.freaking.good.
our server was awesome! Yes, he posed for the picture.

veggie pizza....soooo yummy! That crust is the best part. The cornbread is the secret ingredient.

Gino's is famous for having graffiti all over their walls. Guests sign their names and messages with a marker. In fact, we were told to bring a sharpie with us by the person who recommended the restaurant! It was so covered in ink we could barely find a place to write our names!

The best part of the night? I met up with one of my best friends from college! She lives in NYC but was on business in Chicago. Just happened to be there one of the nights I was there! It was so awesome to be able to get dinner and see each other!


Have you tried Gino's East in Chicago? What other pizza places have you tried?
