BRAVO RESTAURANT GROUP CREATES CONCEPTS THAT WOW. Proof of that, we’ve brought iconic deep-dish pizza to life with Gino’s East. Since opening in 1966, Gino’s East has maintained its reputation as one of Chicago’s most loved pizzerias! The original Gino's East was opened by two taxi drivers who after driving up and down the Magnificent Mile, believe that a hit pizza spot right off this busy stretch of road would be a success, and they were right! Since opening its doors, Gino’s East of Chicago keeps offering the best deep dish pizza experience in the city and has shared millions of their signature golden-crust Chicago-style pizzas with Chicagoans, celebrities, and visitors from all over the world!
Working in our busy restaurant means consistent hours, flexible schedules, and the opportunity to make a great income – as well as a lot of friends and memories along the way!
