Chicago Deep Dish Legend Gino’s East is Headed to Dallas’s Strip Club Row

Fret not, Chicago deep dish devotees: You need not drive all the way to Arlington to get your Gino's East fix. Said Arlington location is set to open May 4, and according to GuideLive, a Dallas outpost will be hot on its heels.

Like the soon-to-open Arlington restaurant, the Dallas location will replace a Bikinis Sports Bar & Grill concept — this one located at Northwest Highway and I-35. (Fewer breastaurants and more deep dish? This is an idea we can get behind.) Additionally, GuideLive says Gino's is scouting for locations "in downtown Dallas, downtown Fort Worth, Frisco and Plano," with plans to open "four to six" North Texas locations total in the next three years.

Eater Chicago recently deemed Gino's supreme deep dish pie one of the city's 25 most iconic dishes.
