Gino’s East of Chicago in LA announces the Pope-roni Pizza

Honoring the first American Pope and he’s from Chicago

LOS ANGELES, May 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Gino’s East of Chicago in Los Angeles is offering a truly Chicago pizza to honor Pope Leo XIV, who grew up in Chicago. The Pope-roni pizza is worth pontificating about. Featuring three kinds of pepperoni, traditional, spicy and “cup and char”, with Chicago sausage as an accent.

The Pope-roni pizza is available as a Deep Dish or thin crust Tavern Style pizza and features the world famous Gino’s East crust, award winning sauce and fresh mozzarella cheese.

“Chicagoans are proud of our very own South Side Pope and we’re celebrating with a pizza that’s easy to pontificate about,” says Gino’s East-LA co-owner Tod Himmel, “it’s a holy trinity of pepperoni with the divine sausage we all love.”

The Pope-roni will be available throughout the new pontiff’s time in office.

Gino’s East is located at 12924 Riverside Drive in Sherman Oaks, California. It was named “Best Pizza in the Southland” by LA Times readers two years in a row.
