I asked the Chicago locals, other than Giordano’s & Lou Malnati’s, who has the best deep dish pizza? Aside from a couple Pizzeria Uno’s, Gino’s East was the resounding answer. Now, I don’t love deep dish style to begin with but this was absolutely BRUTAL. The number one reason this pizza is horrendously terrible is the dough & crust are made with cornmeal. I’m sorry, that is not a substitute for pizza dough. This is just as heavy as the other deep dish styles but it feels more like a dessert. The cheese is overwhelmingly thick and the sauce is horrifically acidic, neither ingredients meld well with the cornmeal. This is not pizza, this truly is a casserole/dessert pie. Just not my style, the cornmeal doesn’t work for me whatsoever. I’d pick just about any pizza in NYC over this. I’m sorry, but it’s not even in the discussion with the 2 Big Guns (Giordano’s & Malnati’s) in the deep dish game.
