For some homemade Italian fare from this Italian-born chef, you can’t go wrong to order your pizza from Bongiorno’s family-run business.
Steve Dolinsky, from ABC 7, Chicago’s #1 news station, is a regular. Many accolades include TripAdvisor’s Certificate of Excellence, GrubHub’s Golden Grub Award, and the selection by Chicago Magazine as one of the best restaurants for pizza in Downtown Chicago.
This Chicago institution serves its Deep Dish pizza, the same since 1966. Available flavors include Deluxe Cheese, Meaty Legend, Sausage Patty, Sausage, Pepperoni, Sausage & Pepperoni, Supreme, and Spinach Blend.
If Deep Dish is not for you, then tuck into their Tavern Style or Thin Crust. There’s something for everyone. Their iconic cheese pulls are something you should definitely try, especially if you want to dip into any of your favorite sauces from the ranch, marinara, giardiniera, blue cheese, BBQ, buffalo, Caesar, spicy Caesar, or garlic butter.
You can order through GrubHub, but if you order direct on their website: www.ginoseast.com you can help to Feed Our Heroes. By doing so you have the option to donate to their efforts to feed healthcare workers, police departments, firefighters, and other first responders in Chicago. Gino’s East is also offering first responders and essential personnel, major discounts on their carryout and delivery orders.

From duck prosciutto, Brussels sprouts, and bacon, to fennel, caramelized onion, and many more.
Their Real Camo Pizza is topped with wild mushrooms, chopped dates, goat’s cheese, duck prosciutto, smoked mozzarella, and Calabrian pepper.
Note that although closed on Monday, you can order from their website which forwards you to the CAVIAR site or app, assuring your delivery within 30 minutes.
