Ordered this last night from Grubhub. Got the cauliflower crust with extra cheese. It was phenomenal! Will order again.

We had a run of Friday night movie & pizza, Gigio's was it! Pizza is good, I love their classic buffalo chicken wings, super saucy and always hot even when delivered! read more

Beware... This place has a sanitation issue. I ordered a torta sandwich with everything and chorizo. I noticed that he took ground beef out instead. His counterpart said "not ground, she wants chorizo." So, the cook proceeds to take the cooked ground beef and put it back in the fridge without even taking off the cooked part. I feel sorry for whomever gets that piece. This is how salmonella starts. Also, he did not wear gloves while handling raw products nor wash his hands. They might have great food, but I am not trying to get food poisoning. So, i will have to pass until they understand the basics of sanitation. read more

Gigio's Pizzeria - Massive menu with good stuff - Pizza Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

4 stars for being a solid slice shop. I've been here a few times for slices. It never disappoints. They're consistently consistent. Prices are not too bad. There's plenty of room to find seating when they're busy. They on a corner so you can get a window as well. Just a really solid slice shop. read more

Gigio's Pizzeria - Pepp and cheese slices - Two slices of pizza, one with pepperoni and the other plain cheese, are on a white paper plate. The slices are placed on a piece of white paper wrapping, with a black surface underneath and a gray wall in the background. - Pizza Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

We've patronized this business for years because our family loves the pizza. I am disappointed that tonight, the delivery driver simply left our order on the front porch. He did not knock. He did not ring the doorbell. It is -6 degrees outside. Do better. read more

My husband and children love their pizza. I personally am not the biggest fan of pizza in general, but I'll admit their crust is amazing! Their homemade sausage is delicious. The pizza by the slice is our go-to, but I've also had the chili cheese fries and empanadas. There is plenty of seating inside, and they are always playing great music. We don't live in Evanston, but we get pizza here at least once a month! read more

Got there at 6:45 when they are open until 7. The kitchen was closed except for warmed up pizza that had been cooked long ago. Not worth going to. read more

Had the meat lovers. Delivery was great. Pizza was hot and fresh. The pizza itself was disastrous, however. I grew up eating Gigio's and was excited to try it after being away for 10 years. Sadly, it was not good. The cheese was plastic, the meat and sauce acrid, and the dough flavorless. I wish I could recommend Gigio's, but the pizza is bad. read more

Besides that Mexican offerings on the menu wall...don't miss the weekend specials posted at the register. After many visits seeing it belatedly when we got to ordering, we finally gave their quesabirria a try. $12.50 gets you three tacos plus a generous (large?) bowl of birria soup (not just consomme - but with beef + veggies). Great meal here. Comfy with the booths in back and the music seems to be better than what you expect at a counter pizza joint. read more

I usually have nothing bad to say about Gigios but today i am absolutely disgusted with how they messed up and did not honor the fact that they messed up. Today i called and order a grandma special pizza ( something i've ordered numerous times) and when the lady on the phone told me the price i kept asking her like are you sure that's the price. she kept telling me yes, i knew it didn't sound right so i had someone else got on the phone to make sure i said the right thing. she kept telling us yes. ok! i get there and my order was incorrect! telling me that's not what she wrote on the paper all and all basically refusing to make some type of accommodation even tho they were the ones who clearly made the mistake. read more

Food: the food was fairly priced and would come back again but would come in not expecting anything super high quality Service: service was decently quick Ambiance: regular old diner feel read more

Gigio's Pizzeria - Italian Beef Sandwich with mozzarella - Pizza Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

Called in an order for pickup, was told it would take 25-30 mins. Got here in 40 mins and they were just putting the pizzas in the oven. It was not a busy night. No apologies. Very unconcerned for my time. read more

I never thought I'd be rating Gigios pizza so low. My family usually orders for delivery over 25 years now. The person who took my order first, didn't know what a supreme pizza is. How do you work at a pizzeria and not know what toppings are on a supreme pizza?! Second, she called to confirm my address because the driver (God bless his patience) noticed that she had written the street name as "ground ave." He knew "ground" was not a street name. I made her repeat my order and address and she still managed to give him the wrong address number. My pizza was also not cut in squares like she herself even repeated in my order! Hiring manager please do better. read more

Outstanding sausage slice. One of the best I've ever tried. I'll be back. Across from Bennison Bakery read more

Gigio's Pizzeria - Pizza sausage! - Pizza Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

Locally owned and terrific pizza, as well as great sandwiches. Generations have enjoyed this pizza, my son takes his boys.

Still an Etown staple! Not the best pizza you'll ever have, but still good, and super convenient if you only need a slice. They have a huge menu board too, if you want something other than pizza. read more

the food was COLD and costumer service was terrible. i never recommend this place to anyone.

An Evanston staple and one of my favorite places for a quick and delicious slice. I pull over and grab a slice anytime I pass by this place. Reminds me of a New York pizzeria.. quick delicious and inexpensive. I've seen lots of delicious food here but I just come for the pizza. read more

Gigio's Pizzeria - Stop in if you see this - The image shows the exterior of Gigio's Pizzeria, a brick building with a large illuminated orange sign displaying the business name. The storefront has a window revealing the interior menu and seating area. Outside, there is a trash can, a fire hydrant, and a small landscaped area with a tree. The scene appears to be taken at night, with streetlights and interior lighting illuminating the area. - Pizza Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

Their pizza slices are bomb. Very delicious. Only gave it 4 stars because of the price. it was $5 for one single slice. My total was almost $12 for two slices. read more

Gigio's Pizzeria - Meat Lovers Pizza - A close-up of a large slice of meat lover's pizza on a white disposable plate. The pizza has a thin crust with a slightly crispy edge, topped with melted cheese, pepperoni, sausage, and bacon. The toppings are evenly distributed, and the cheese appears bubbly and browned in spots. The background shows part of a vehicle's interior dashboard. - Pizza Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

Great food for delivery and price. Always gets delivers in a reasonable time. Food it's very satisfactory

Upscale? Not at all. Worth ordering? Absolutely. Solid thin crust cheese (or pineapple) pizza from Gigio's never does me wrong. Great both fresh and reheated. An XL pizza gave me leftovers for a week! Mozzarella sticks are questionable, as they toggle between breaded (yay) and battered (nay), but as long as I ask what they have before ordering, I know I won't be wasting my money. Gigio's is a classic. read more

My husband wanted us to dine here after our Little Yelpers event in Evanston as he was feeling nostalgic. Gigios was one of the first venues for his birthday parties when he was a little kid. They are celebrating their 50th year this year! The restaurant that is, not my husband. I'm sure he would like me to clear that up if he ever read this review. 4 years ago Gigios was under new management but kept the same name. I think thats pretty cool since this establishment has been a part of the Evanston community for several years. I just had a slice of their pepperoni pizza, but they have other things on their menu as well. Their pizza was basic, but good. The crust was crisp and doughy and the sauce wasn't overwhelming nor too oily. Overall, not bad. They have a big enough restaurant where you can dine comfortably. The price is pretty good too if you are looking for some good fast food in the downtown Evanston area. A good restaurant for reliable fast food. I'm sure I'll be back whenever I'm in the area. read more

Yeah Man, this is what's up in this fly walkable neighborHOOD of mine from the far far far past and present. This place is beyond a tradition I have and still do enjoy. I mean, like straight-UP "WILDKIT" I would set up my DJ gear: turntables, budget mixer, after I got paid for a few gigs that meant and translates to the simple equation (2) TWO Technique 1200 Turntables. Then I would walk over to Gigio's Pizzeria for a quite great slice of Pizza or (2) two, soda can and then go back and as a (7th) seventh grader at Chicago's middle school; 'Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Experimental Laboratory School' and I would DJ for and at the entire High Schools YMCA "FRIDAY NIGHT LIVE' cities dance. "You Must have a Valid High School ID to Enter." read more

Variety! They seem to have it all here.... From pizza by the slice to Mexican food to American favorites like burgers, dogs etc. Busy place and it took a while before my food arrived. I had a slice of the daily special which was bacon and onion - good crust and fairly tasty toppings. My pal really enjoyed his meat lovers special. I also had an order of 2 chicken tenders but they gave me 4 and they were very hot, tasty and meaty. Way too much food but around 10$ for the lot. Definitely worth returning to try other options... a good choice despite the lack of decor, etc. read more

Rubbery pizza at $4.95 / slice. Not worth it at all. Business strategy is to rip off local high school and college students. Used to be good a long time ago. At least pizza was served warm. read more

I've been coming to Gigio's since the early 80's for slices. I recently moved back to Evanston and have been delighted to share this tradition with my young sons. Gigio's is now a permanent part of our weekend routine. The Boys are crazy about the Pepperoni pizza and Tater Tots; I'm still partial to Sausage pizza. I'll always be a loyal customer here. Great customer service and vibe. read more

Apparently they have different prices for call pick up orders, online orders and and to eat there. They over charged me by 10$ on a small pizza and a medium pizza when I asked them why it was more they told me because I did a phone call order. Make sure to check prices they are thief's that employee probably kept the difference. They lost my business there read more

Wow, can't believe how good this place is! Completely under-rated. They seve a great slice of pizza, a large slice, and surprisingly their grilled fish sandwich was outstanding, fresh, large, juicy piece of fish grilled with great seasoning. I'm new to the neighborhood and I plan on definitely being a regular here. read more

one of the best pizza spots in the areas, their pizzas is gas and their mozzarella sticks are way good. only waited like 7 mins walk in. and the inside is interesting and chill read more

Gigio's Pizzeria - Cheese Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

A great low key spot here in Evanston. The pizza is your classic Chicago thin crust sold in large portions. A single slice was plenty of food and was quite large. The sausage is advertised as made in-house and certainly tasted so! In typical Midwest fashion, I noticed that both gyro and tamale were listed on the menu. I decided to also try a pork tamale and enjoyed it. It was large and the masa was crumbly and thick. Would recommend going as it's also extremely affordable! read more

Gigio's Pizzeria - Tamale - The image shows a partially eaten tamale wrapped in a corn husk, placed on a paper-lined tray. The tamale appears to have a filling that has been partially consumed, with some crumbs and remnants visible. The tray is on a wooden table, with a plastic fork inserted into the tamale. In the background, there is a cup with a lid and straw, and some other food items. The caption indicates the tamale is from a Midwest pizzeria that also sells gyros. - Pizza Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

Went into to grab 2 slices of Pizza there were 4 people eating . There were 3 people working around the corner an older Hispanic man and a younger teenage young man and a shorter Hispanic delivery guy. A ghost town I ask " Is anyone working" the teenager said 1 minute everyone else acts like we are on the set of Star Wars. Thank God I had the opportunity to try and enjoy Gigio's a long time ago when the galaxy was pretty normal and customers were important . Never again will I patronize this business or any business like this as I said goodbye so did they read more

Maryland checking in from Chicago I finally have the Italian beef sandwich giardihain pepper (forgive the spelling) it was damn good. I also tried the hotdog from Chicago. It is good. Now that complete my trip heading home back to Maryland. read more

Love the pizza but am constantly surprised by the other things on the menu. The Quesobierra tacos are ridiculously good.

I usually order their sausage pizza because it's so good. Yesterday a woman ahead of me in line ordered a taco from this place. I didn't even know they had tacos! Good Lawd I ordered a beef taco and I had to count my fingers after eating it. It was THAT good! I'll be back today and order more. Then. Then. They have oxtails and mashed potatoes. I haven't ordered that yet, but I've never been disappointed with their food and I've been eating here for years. read more

Thier burgers are the best in town. Highly recommend it. Whenever I stop-by the shop is always busy yet they always get my order right! Good job guys! Keep up the good work! read more

I grew up in Chicago neighborhood that had a lot of pizza slice places so I was thrilled to find Gigio's after moving to Evanston. Slices are big and a good value-- they're usually about eight to ten inches broad at the back and about ten inches from tip to crust. They recently upgraded the menu, adding beer, hot dogs, burgers, and more. I've had the Impossible Burger there several times and love it. It's been one of my favorite spots in Evanston. I'm not even really a regular but the guys are always friendly and seem happy to see me (whether they actually remember me or are just good at customer service). read more

This is used to be one of my favorite Pizza places! Nice fluffy Cust! Good ingredients but the last few time it's like the place doesn't give a crap! Ordered a pizza today, sausage extra cheese! The crust was uncooked and like cardboard, there hardly any sausage but worse of it tasted like eating a block of salt totally inedible! Not sure what cheap mozzarella or whatever they use but it's a health hazard. My wife and had o e piece each and threw it in the garbage ever again. Awful garbage read more

i LOVE the food here. the pizza is amazing, thin crust and very flavorful. i usually get a slice of cheese and a slice of sausage. they're generous with toppings, but not overwhelming, and they have extra seasonings and sauces if you're into that. the onion rings are probably the best in evanston. incredibly crispy and perfectly fried, and they onion almost never comes out of the ring. they come with ranch. great mozzarella sticks and burgers too. quick service, and quaint italian ambiance. one of evanston's finest cheap places to eat. read more

Good New York style pizza. But best kept secret about Gigio's: their unexpected items are amazing. Some are specials and some are regular. The Cemita Poblana is out of this world, and they use happy chicken from Harrison's. They make their own ranch for their chicken tenders. Their lamb burger is shot through with mint and perfectly charred with super lemony mayo and delicate pickled onions. And the prices are reasonable. And their "grandma pizza" is on point. Give them a try! read more
