    Deep dish cheese pizza
    Steve S.

    For an appetizer, started out with the hand rolled breaded mozzarella cheese sticks. These panko breaded sticks are the best tasting cheese sticks anywhere, and comes with a perfectly paired delicious marinara sauce for dipping. An order contains 8 large sized sticks, I find it hard to avoid filling up on these before the pizza is brought out! Also had a deep dish build-your-own cheese pizza. This pizza has a unique flavor, mostly due to the crust, I feel like it has kind of a fermented, almost beer-battered flavor to it. Nice option once in awhile for a different taste from the standard cracker or Italian bread type crusts served at other restaurants. For the thin crust pizza, my wife is a big fan, but I drank it about average, so I suppose.its worth giving a try to see what your personal preference is.

    Deep Dish: Cheese and Crumbled Sausage
    David M.

    I haven't had Gino's East in years. I forgot what it tasted like. Me and a friend made the travel to the Wheaton location for some deep dish on a Saturday afternoon. (Pro Tip: Deep Dish takes 30-45 min to prepare, so we called in advanced to dine in). The pizza was pretty good. The sauce was saucy, the cheese was cheesy, and the sausage had good flavor. We did crumbled instead of the patty. The best part was the crust, particularly the edge, it was soft and sweet, really good. The wings not so good, but we're here for pizza. Nice restaurant in nice downtown Wheaton, with plenty of shops and other restaurants. Would definitely recommend going, and I will go again too!

    Sausage patty Supreme
    Adam B.

    I worked at the St Charles location back in 2015. So after coming back to Chicagoland for the first time in 3 years, I longed for that familiar taste of deep dish and this is now the only location operating in the suburbs. My friends and I split a large sausage patty supreme pizza, half without mushrooms. I guess we confused the cook because he came to our table to make sure he understood the order. We appreciated him taking the time to make sure he was making our order correctly. The pizza came out in about 35 minutes and it was cooked very well. Crunchy crumbly crust (which looks like it has cornmeal, but it really doesn't!), great sausage. The tomato sauce did need a little seasoning, I had to add extra Parmesan and oregano to balance out the tomato flavor. To drink, I started with a local draft beer and unfortunately, it wasn't served properly, there was no head whatsoever. Afterwards, I switched to iced tea, and I'm glad it was fresh. Parking is available on the street, if you can grab one or you may have to settle for the garage and pay a few bucks.

    5 happy tummies, and leftovers to boot! We had the sweetest waitress and grooved to the oldies playing over the outdoor speakers. This was a perfect sampling of deep dish pizza!

    Mini deep dish, sausage patty of course!

    You've gotta love Gino's. I had no idea this lunch special existed, mini deep dish & a salad...under ten bucks. Cute inside, nice outdoor area in the heart of Wheaton. Ordered online, food was hot & ready when promised. Friendly & efficient staff.

    Individual Lunch Special. Sausage, of course.

    Gino's East always used to be my FAVORITE pizza place, and it was disappointing when they began closing their locations. To reminisce, my good friend and I visited the Wheaton location for lunch a few weeks ago when she was in town. We each had a personal pizza (sausage, of course) and side salad. We ordered house chips as an appetizer. Everything was actually really good!!! The location was disappointingly sparse during lunch time, though. The interior was dim, but it felt more dingy than anything. Fast forward to last week when I decided to treat my kids to some Gino's. We ordered a Large sausage and chopped salad for Curbside. I'm confused about Curbside, I guess, because our order ended up being marked as "Take Out." I had called, and a nice young man nicely brought out to us in the back parking lot. The pizza itself was a bit underwhelming this time: the sausage was a bit overcooked and tough. My kids turned up their noses at it, so I was stuck eating most of it for the next few days. There could have been worse things, I suppose. Overall, it was just OK. I think I would only take advantage of a lunch special in the future.

    Well, I've heard a lot of positive and negative things about this restaurant from my friends. So we decided to stop and try out this restaurant. First impression was very nice lay out and super friendly staff. We ordered the garlic bread sticks and "Meaty Legend Deep Dish Pizza ". Well, the waiter was super nice and brought the drinks faster than we expected. However, there was something in the water glass (see clip) and we asked the waiter to have different glass of water, because stuff in the water happened everywhere. Sadly, the second glass of water still have more stuff in it and we didn't bother to ask for another one. Because we didn't know if the waiter really brought different glass of water or not. The garlic bread sticks was okay, but the pizza was great. We will revisit this restaurant in near future and hoping we will not have any problems. Please note, this is my personal experience and it's not intend to discourage you from dine at this restaurant.

    Vegan Surcharge Ridiculous! We visited Gino's East Pizza for gluten free & vegan pizza. Absolutely Blown away by the vegan aspect. The pizza was good - for vegan and gluten free, it was good - not great but good. The toppings and cheese was about an inch and a half from the edge of the corner. Mainly crust - when we asked why this was when the 'regular' not vegan pizza arrived, we were told it was probably due to the fact that vegan cheese costs more than regular cheese. Now here's the fun part - the bill came.... We were charged $6.50 EXTRA for vegan cheese PER pizza! what?! On top of a $30 pizza to begin with?! Sorry but a vegan pizza for nearly $40 is ridiculous!!!!! Especially when you skimp on the toppings. I will go elsewhere.

    Have ordered deep dish many times and it's great. Tried thin crust tonight and it was awful. Tasted salty, not enough sauce and overdone.

    Gym, tan, laundry, pizza! We had been to their Carol Stream location, and while driving around the…read moresouth burbs we decided to come to this one for a quick dinner. Tonight we learned the Carol Stream one had closed, and ownership here was changing hands, but the new owners don't intend to mess with a good thing. We're not super familiar with Jersey style pizza, but it is nice being able to get really nice pizza by the slice. We tried the pepperoni, the sausage, the three sauce (with vodka sauce and pesto), and the white pizza (with garlic and ricotta). All were great, and surprisingly my preschooler's favorite was the three sauce (which I think is also mine), while my wife liked the white pizza. The slices are huge with a good crisp undercarriage, and lots of flavorful sauce on top. The service we experienced at both locations were top notch as well. To top it off, when we came here, there was a table with a couple people who looked straight out of Jersey (at least from my limited knowledge), and they were big fans as well. Looking forward to returning!

Joe has nailed the fundamentals that matter most -- a perfectly thin, crisp crust with just the right bite, and a sauce that's beautifully balanced between sweet and tangy without overpowering the pie. What really sets Pie Life apart is the variety of flavors. Whether you're a classic slice person or someone who likes to explore more creative combinations, every pie feels intentional and dialed in. You can tell this is made by someone who respects tradition but isn't afraid to elevate it. Easily one of those spots you keep thinking about after the last slice is gone. If you know NJ pizza, you'll recognize it immediately -- and if you don't, Pie Life is a great place to learn what you've been missing.

I make better salads and dressings! We ordered a large pan pizza which was overly salty with burnt crust edges. The cheese and tomato sauce were really good, but the saltiness killed it for me. The place was packed and very noisy. Not sure if it was quieter on the second floor. When you have lots of customers, it's important to have a system of checking the status of the restrooms very often. They were quite neglected. We often have out-of-town and foreign guests to host and show off our city to. We always include a deep dish pizza meal for their experience, and usually at Lou Malnati's. Always a great experience, especially the branch in downtown Naperville- consistently good. And Lou's really makes the best salad than anywhere! Sometimes for a potluck contribution I just pick up a Lou's salad, guaranteed to make everyone happy. However, our guests enjoyed the pizza and dessert; thus, I can give 3 stars for our experience at Pequod's.
