| - Sought ought Gino's to compare with other deep dish pizza places in town. Not disappointed. I've eaten at the original on the north side of Chicago many times, so I was a fan gaining in. The food was the same great pizza I remembered. Had a deep dish medium half pepperoni half sausage (patty style of course). Great cornmeal crust, good crisp to the crust, great cheese and sweet tomato sauce. All in all it was exactly what I remembered and made me wonder why we waited to visit.
The only real difference I could see to the Chicago location was that the staff (Ricky Bobby B) here in Phoenix was super friendly, helpful, attentive and available. Layout of the restaurant may not have the character of the old north side spot, but what it may lack in quirky character it makes up for in cleanliness. Tables were super clean / not grimy, bathrooms were bright and also very clean.
Overall, again, the food was really really good, the bruschetta was great with super fresh basil leaves, tomatoes and fresh mozzarella. And the 312 beer from Chi town is a must.
