Gino's East - Chicago, IL
Gino's East is one of the most popular Chicago deep dish chains, with locations all over the state and in recent years, a few outposts in Texas. The pies are baked in cast-iron pans with a sweet, thick crust and plenty of chunky tomato sauce and cheese. It's definitely worth a visit to one of their Chicago-land locations; the walls are decked out with message etchings from customers and photos of famous celebrities who might or might not have visited at some point.
