We went in to the one on Superior and ordered a large, 3 topping DD pizza, and cheesy bread for carry out. Cost's were conveniently not posted, but hey, it's just pizza right. WRONG. We were rung up and told the price was over $45.00!!! Yes, I could have left, but we were hungry, and it's famous...so...the fool in me paid, and was told to wait for the next 45 minutes in a corner of a hallway with 1 chair (and 5 people waiting). The place was filthy, the cooking staff was spending more time eating and talking than working (including the manager on duty). Over 1 hour later our pizza arrived. We we're rudely "shoved off" as though we were miscreants for ordering carry-out. Back in the hotel, I can honestly say it was one of the worst pizza's I've ever had. It was closer to eating cornmeal lasagna than any pizza. It had sickly sweet sauce, and even after an hour the crust was still undercooked. I'd complain to the restaurant management, but I'm sure all I'd get is an "are you talkin’ to me?" Trust me when I tell you to avoid this tourist trap at all costs. It’s a HUGE rip off! Pros: NONE Cons: Expensive, awful service, bad quality

What's not to like about delicious deep dish pizza [unless you don't like grease!] Try it with mushrooms and extra cheese! Yum! I also like cheesecake for dessert. If you visit Chicago, you gotta check out Ginos! Pros: Best deep dish in town Cons: Usually crowded and not exactly heatlh food

These guys know pizza. While I'm not a fan of the deep dish anywhere (other than the funky version at Chicago Pizza Co), I do enjoy good thin crust. This is thicker than many thins, but still delish. I had a spinach pizza and it rocked. Pros: Spinach thin crust Cons: It won't make you any skinnier

This place used to be great. Number One! But now, Cheap cheese just made to look stretchy, cheap ingredients and overpriced. Whoever owns Gino's now clearly deals in volume over quality. I'll go to Malnati's for real italian deep dish. Leave this place for tourists who don't know any better. Pros: Touristy if you like that Cons: Has gotten worse over the years due to cutting corners

The service was great. Our water glasses were never empty. Great menu! Deep dish pizza takes a while to cook, but well worth the wait! Interesting atmosphere (you get to write on the walls). Awesome, awesome pizza. Pros: Deep dish was amazing Cons: There's a wait for the pizza, long lines are hard to avoid

It started out pretty good. We got seated quickly and the beer I ordered tasted good. It went down hill from there. The cheese sticks were extra salty and the sauce was just so, so. The waiter forgot about us the rest of our stay except to ask how the pizza was and flop the bill on top of the to go box. We got served by some friendly Latino guys who brought the pizza, took our picture and brought us our to go box. The guy never asked if we wanted more to drink even though we had empty glasses near the end of eating the pizza. He waited on his friends next door though. Anything they wanted. The guy was impatient and impolite when we tried to tell him why he wasn't getting a tip. We had to go tell someone else about him. The pizza at Ginos is only fair, and certainly nothing to go back for. The crust reminded me of a crispy bisket. It had a slightly sweet taste. My fiance said she would like to have it with coffee in the morning. The crust is smothered in thick red sauce. If you like alot of sauce, there it is. You get plenty of fresh veggies in the sauce, but if you are a big meat lover you will be disappointed with the "Supreme". There's nothing supreme about it. We drove up from Missouri to have great Chicago style deep dish pizza. If this is one of the best Chicago pizza places, I'll stay in Missouri and doctor up a frozen pizza from the grocery store. Cons: They need to train their waiters better.

Gino's is a great pizza joint. I really like pizza, so it was perfect for me. I like all types of pizza, in fact. Sausage, pepperoni, green peppers - not a big fan of black olives, however. btw, this is a test of the reviewing functionality here on Citysearch. Pros: delicious pizza. nuff said.

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
