Chicago pizzeria Gino's East taking over Pizza Pilgrims for one weekend

Pizza Pilgrims have teamed up with Chicago’s famous pizzeria, Gino’s East, to bring deep pan pizza to London for one weekend.

Those wanting a slice of the action should head to Pizza Pilgrim's West India Quay branch, where the Americans will be plating up from June 29 – July 1.

Guests will be able to tuck into two types of deep pan pizza: a Veggie Supreme with spinach, mushroom, onion and green peppers and a Meaty Legend with Italian sausage, ham, bacon and pepperoni.

Deep pan pizza isn’t commonly found in the capital, so the pop-up event is a chance for Londoners to get an authentic taste of Chicago’s famous Gino's East, which was first established back in 1966.

Tickets cost £25 but pizza at the event will be unlimited so attendees can grab as many slices as they want. They’ll also be treated to a beer courtesy of Chicago based brewers Goose Island as well as a limoncello doughnut from Crosstown Doughnuts, made using using Pizza Pilgrim’s homemade Pococello.
