Gino's on Higgins, Chicago

Just like at the original spot on Michigan and Superior, guests at Gino's East O'Hare Plaza find the signature crust piled with mounds of cheese, sauce made from vine-ripened tomatoes, and plenty of fresh toppings—from sausage and pepperoni to jalapeños and ground beef. Hot from the oven, pizzas arrive at tables snuggled inside seasoned deep-dish pans, ready to welcome a fork and knife. Thin-crust varieties are also available for those who don’t know how to work silverware, and the menu is rounded out by mozarella sticks and other appetizers, burgers, subs, pasta, and salads fresh from the garden. Guests can also enjoy craft beers from the full-service bar on the 90-seat patio or while checking out the Chicago Sports Wall of Fame, with more than 60 stylized portraits of Chicago sports personalities. Three private party rooms are available for family celebrations or holiday parties.
