    Cheese slice yummy $4.96 Total
    karina k.

    Brianne was the sweetest! She explained the deals to me and so easy going and hard working at the same time. Wow NY style pizza is really here. The cheese is gooey, the crush is thin, and it's really good w the sauce ratio. Dine in or outdoor seating. They have been here since 1961! And they are still here for a reason. Enjoy when you miss NY style pizza. It's $4.96 a cheese slice as of 3/27/26. Only missing piece is a chewy crust and bottom. Otherwise it's great

    Two slices & a can of pop, $12.04 tax incl.

    This patch of Broadway is about the closest Chicago gets to looking like the Bronx. Characters go in, they come out. The lady managing the counter was definitely a type. You be polite, and she'll be polite. It's a no-nonsense, no frills kind of place. They have a couple of specials: Two slices and a can of pop or one slice & fries and a can of pop. Either way, the sausage pizza was very good.

    Gigio's brings me back to New York with its pizza and vibe. Prices are reasonable and quality is just what you'd expect from a low key pizza spot. Dining area is minimal. This is more of a to go spot, and service is friendlier than your typical NYer. They'll ask if you want your pizza cut in squares or slices. You better choose the latter. Pizza comes with lots of cheese, a sweet sauce, and crust is the right balance of sturdy and foldable. Getting a bigger pie will give you the crust you're looking for. Gigio's does have Chicago classics like Italian beef, pasta, and more. Service was prompt, pizzas were made quick, and the dining area is clean. I'll be back.

    Thick Chicago crust... gross!

    New York style pizza is Chicago style crust... I was told I had to ask for super thin, when for 10 years I have gotten extra extra thin slices.

    Came highly recommended by my brother-in-law, even went so far as to order two extra large half cheese half sausage unbaked, frozen, to bring with me on a plane to North Carolina, as he could only think of one thing he wanted from Chicago, and that was his Gigio's pizza. Simple menu, family owned, and certainly has created a lot of memories for people all over the city. New York City style, Can order a whole pie or just a slice to go. Limited seating available, total hole in the wall, but sometimes those are the best kind of places! If you are lucky, the owner, Giovani, may be there checking to make sure the pizza is on point! Old school italiano New York style pizza at its finest!

    The suspicious charge.

    Bad greasy drippy pizza and I had to dispute a phone charge on my debit card. This was the last placed I used my debit card and I think they cloned it!

    overall for sure this is a nice late night spot for pizza, always get a s (12") for me. Pepperoni and cheese for the last 3 times ? Service is fast, nice, efficient for the most part. The average wait for a fresh pizza is like 20 minutes. The ambiance of the place will remind you of what a semi decent pizza place will look like! Overall would recommend to anyone who is looking for pizza late at night !

    Delicious pizza and pizza in Little Italy area of Chicago. It is a nice looking restaurant, too…read more We went for lunch on a Sunday (to avoid the crowd and for free street parking). The restaurant is not busy at all. We were seated right away. Our server was nice and attentive. We ordered pizza and pasta. Pepperoni and Whipped Ricotta Pizza - cooked perfectly, fresh ingredients and delicious! Served hot! Short Rib Pappardelle - to die for! This is very tasty, the pasta is cooked al dente. The short rib sauce is ssosooo delicious! We sat by the bar overlooking the open kitchen. It was nice to see the chef make the pizza and make the pasta. Further area is more fine dining with wall of wine. Very classy! Street parking only. So plan ahead.

Normally I hate those kinds of large group dinners, but this was the perfect spot for it. The service was absolutely wonderful. I don't know how our server stayed so cool and calm with a group that size. We got a variety of things. EVERYTHING was amazing. If you have seen any of my other reviews, I always get a meatball when I'm at a place that has them. They almost never live up to my expectation. But this place has the new gold standard for a meatball. It was everything you want. It is fork tender, full of flavor, no chewy ground up bits. The pizzas were authentic and thin. With fabulous house made red sauce that wasn't too thick and overwhelming. The flavor was A+ The cocktails were so good! All made from scratch with love. The ambiance was cozy and comfortable. Perfect for a group or a date. They have a full bar, and also great seating with perfect lighting. This is a new favorite for me in the city.

The octopus surprised me because octopus can be hit or miss for me, but they did it really well! The table bread was also pretty good and cheesy. The Caesar was just fine. Nothing special but not bad (which is good coming from me since I'm not usually big on kale). Of course all of the pastas were yummy. The fusilloni was definitely my favorite from the noodle shape to the sausage and cheese. The ricotta dumplings were suuuuuper cheesy which I really liked (though I could see why others wouldn't) and had a melt in your mouth softness. The rigatoni was tasty, but kinda just tasted like a normal red sauce so would probably try something more interesting next time. We really enjoyed the chicken parm, too. Not as good as the pastas, but definitely tasty and the basil was a good touch. We finished with the guava cheesecake sundae. I really liked the little bits of cake, but the ice cream itself was a little lacking for me. Still a nice sweet treat to finish the meal!! We had the perfect amount of food overall for 4 people!

The place is a little crammed inside, but good service. I think they have cameras lol because everytime I was running out of water or when I was done with my food the servers came around FAST AF. I had the tagliatelle , a beef shank ragu with parmesan and oregano. There was a hearty helping of shredded beef in there, noodles are homemade and dense with flavor. But again, serving size I chowed down on this pretty fast and even upon presentation I'm like "that's it?!" Just because serving sizes I don't think I'd come here again. Flavor and experience can make up for it, vibes lol. But still not enough for me
