Ginos East Frozen Pizza Review<\/h2>\n

Gino’s East<\/a> is a downtown Chicago restaurant that specializes in one of the versions of “Chicago Deep Dish.”\u00a0 They opened just off the \"Ginosmagnificent mile in 1966.\u00a0 They subscribe to the version that is “crust, cheese, toppings, sauce.”<\/p>\n

Other versions\u00a0 in the same segment are more focused on the amount of cheese, and can be labeled either “Deep Dish” or “Stuffed.”<\/p>\n

Gino’s has opened other outlets around Chicagoland and out of state with mixed results.\u00a0 They have, however, been very successful in capturing a sizeable portion of the frozen pizza market, both in the deep dish and thin crust categories. (Crack thin crust, square-cut pizza, often called “Tavern style” is also very popular in the Chicago area.<\/p>\n

One aspect Gino’s is noted for is the “sausage patty” deep dish.\u00a0 Instead of bits of sausage as a topping, there is a solid patty of sausage which stretches crust to crust.\u00a0 Their sausage is very gently seasoned.<\/p>\n

They use a quality cheese, with good stretch, and their tomato sauce leans towards slightly sweet and chunky.\u00a0 Crust is flaky, both top and bottom.\u00a0 The frozen pie weights two pounds, and I paid $5.99 for it this week.\u00a0 It’s usually a bit higher.<\/p>\n

I’ve probably purchased these 4-5 times, and candidly, I’ve never had what I would call a 100% success rate with them. I can’t get them to bake evenly. They’re in the oven for 45\u00a0 minutes plus, but invariably I end up with hot\/cold territories, even if I spin in during cooking.<\/p>\n

Don’t know why.<\/p>\n

Gino’s are made by a company called “Festive Foods<\/a>” (pictured) a contract manufacturer in Waupaca, WI, a town in the north-central part of the state.<\/p>\n

If you never get to Chicago and can’t find the pies in your local grocer, you can get a five pack shipped to you<\/a>, for about $25 a pie, including shipping.\u00a0 That’s about the same price you’d pay at the restaurant, not including beers, tax, and tip.<\/p>\n
