I haven't been to Gino's East in several years. I have always liked it but Lou's is much more convenient. On a lark, I went to the Gino's East at Lincoln and Diversey today. I was surprised that everything was served on disposable plastic, plastic utensils and paper cups. The salad was served with a dressing served in a packet. I'm guessing because it's a hole in the wall, they don't have dishwashing facilities. I hope the other locations aren't like this. The pizza, personal pan, was also served on a disposable plate. It was OK, at best, and a disappointment. I would have enjoyed the Pizza Hut personal pan at my local Target just as much.

As I was leaving, I saw a table with a large deep dish pizza - also removed from the pan.
