Gino's East of Chicago

Gino’s East Is Now Serving Up True Chicago Deep Dish Pizza in Sherman Oaks | Eater LA

"A Chicago transplant has quietly opened in the San Fernando Valley: Gino’s East has launched a Sherman Oaks outpost along Riverside and has been serving for a couple of days. I noted that Gino’s East is a well-recognized Chicago-style pizza name with numerous Midwest locations and that the company even ships nationwide via Goldbelly; this is the brand’s first Los Angeles-area location. Franchisees Tod Himmel and Dan Michaels pulled out all the signature tricks, decking the interior with Chicago memorabilia, TVs for sports-watching, a bar area, and big, comfy booths for families. The menu pulls in the best parts of Chicago, including deep-dish pizza as well as sausages and Italian beef sandwiches. The restaurant is keeping dinner hours only for now, from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m., with hours expected to expand in the coming weeks." - Farley Elliott
