    Asked my (Chicago native) brother in law about a place we need to try before leaving the state and he said Giordano's. This particular location was closest during our drive. I had no expectations, but we were a starving party of 10, so the wait alone was torture. We must've waited over an hour. For future visits, I'd be sure to call in.

    See the burnt spot. Who eats black pizza!

    I have been a patron of this chain since 198? But this time, and this place has me out of sorts. I ordered a pizza they call it Tavern style. I had it before sitting at this same restaurant not two months ago! Picking up my pizza as the last order of the day it was not ready as it should have been at 10:00 pm. I arrived at 10:17 an although I was late it was being wrapped. Well it was burnt and when I returned the next day with it I was told by the manager that's how it's prepared. It was so scorched that the crust crumbled in front of him

    We had to try the famous deep dish pizza while in Chicago but we will never ever order it again. Its a sickening amount of cheese with no other flavor. The thinnest layer of sauce so all you can taste is cheese. Its disgusting. I ordered the Gluten free thin crust half pepperoni, half sausage. I swear it must have had at least 2lbs of cheese on it. The sausage was good because it actually had some seasoning and not just cheese flavor. Everyone hated the regular deep dish as well because the cheese was incredibly overwhelming. You get full after one slice and your stomach will most likely feel awful for the rest of the day. I don't understand the appeal and don't know why anyone would order this more than once.

    Awesome stuffed crust

    Visited over the weekend, got a deep dish with sausage, green pepper and onion and it was really good. The pizza was ready at the suggested time and the pick up was quick and easy. The price for a large deep dish was good as well. We will definitely be back!

    This review is for the Blackstone location. Here's the thing, I made the decision to order a pizza before taking in a movie. Giordano's was absolutely the wrong choice. My issue here has NEVER been the pizza itself, hence the two stars. But notice that the image I attached says pick up 30 minutes AFTER ordering right? Nowhere on this is there a disclaimer that (well, it might take a kazillion yers longer depending on what you order). I ordered a personal deep dish cheese. Six inch. No toppings. No gymnastics. . When I finalized the order ONLY THEN did it slide to the time that was ... wait for it .. more than 1.5 hours later for me to pick it up!!!!!!!!! I couldn't even book a movie time with that kind of spread. So I called the store because 1.5 hours was not going to cut it. Here's where it gets interesting. Now I'm told by the manager that I have the "real time" and I can get a refund. Cool. Will take a few days, though. Hmph. My issue is that they should take off that incorrect information of pick up time is "30 minutes after ordering", and say that pick up time is calculated once your order is placed. See? Expectations lowered. I'm still waiting for my refund.

    dry! no sauce.
    Lemaire D.

    These 2 large pizzas are soooo dry! No sauce, no sauce! Completelty void of flavor! We added seasonings and it did not help! We just moved in the area and this will not be our Giordano's! $96 for 2 pizzas and boneless chicken plus a $10 tip! This was so disappointing and such a waste! we don't want to eat Nick's & Vito all the time.

    Pepperoni and sausage

    The pizza was delicious. The presentation and the smell had me very excited to eat. It took 45 min for the pizza and the fries were hot and fresh. They're the skinny fries, but they were okay.

    Still no pizza!!!
    Marie F.

    This place f***** ing sucks!!!! Three drinks all flat. The waitress knew the Pepsi was flat and still let me order it. 45 mins for stuffed pizza ... Lol try 1.5 hrs for the pizza. Literally got full off the flat a$$ drinks. Waiting on the pizza 3 other couples came in ate and left. After the first hr waitress comes to table talking bout the messed up the pizza. I ordered a damn cheese pizza. Worst service ever!!!!

The Italian beef + giardiniera half was good too, more savory and heavier, but the meat had more of a pulled texture than actual than expected. 7.5/10. The seafood skillet didn't really land for me. It had too much wine flavor and the breadcrumbs got soggy fast. 4/10. Overall, come here for the pizza only. That's what makes this spot worth fighting for reservations.

Food reviews: Truffle and mushroom tavern--light and well balanced. Delicate sweet notes from the red onion balance out the earthiness of the mushroom, truffle and charred crust. Cheese doesn't overwhelm the pie and compliments all ingredients with a salty bite Spicy vodka and sausage--so different than the first pie but equally as delicious! Vodka sauce has a deep flavor with only subtle heat. Sausage packs a ton of flavor. Heavier of the two pies since it had more cheese on it but my husband enjoyed Chocolate peanut butter sundae--birthday celebration treat brought by our server! Wow it's a must order. The puppy chow was an insanely smart ingredient to add for texture and bit of chocolate. Can't wait to return to try another specialty pie!
