More Pizza Fun

Food in Chicago is very important. There are a couple of things people seem to be pretty passionate about: pizza and Italian steak. While we haven't had a chance to delve into the Italian steak realm, we did get to expand our pizza experience a bit this past weekend. We tried Gino's East.

This is the pizza we had at Giordano's (just for comparison):

And this is the pizza we had at Gino's East. They didn't have our standard Hawaiian pizza (Tropical Delight at Giordano's) so we had to branch out a bit. This is a cheeseburger pizza which included ground beef, cheddar cheese (in addition to the regular cheese topping) and bacon. The pizza was pretty good. The crust included cornmeal which makes for a crunchy texture and interesting flavor. Gino's prides themselves on their sauce and I can see why; the sauce is really good. Since the sauce is really the star of this pizza, they emphasize it more than the cheese on this pizza. While I really appreciate the incredible sauce and excellent crust, I think we prefer Giordano's pizza just for all the cheese (we really like our cheese).
