first off let me start by saying they charge $10 to park at the restaurant which is crazy! the pizza was good but pricey I feel like this location is a tourist trap we payed $19.75 for 5 yes 5 wings never again read more

We drove eight hours and wanted a nice dinner. No one in restaurant. Finally got sat, quickly placed our order and received our drinks. After about 45 minutes of sitting, we were told it would just be a little while longer, and we noticed looking around the restaurant that no one was receiving their food. After pressing the staff, we were told that the oven is currently not working, and no food was being cooked. We sat for an hour and was lied to. They offered no discounts of any kind, we paid our bills and had to fight to get our change back and left. The whole time, the staff was extremely rude. Avoid this chain at all cost. read more

We ordered takeout from here, so keep that in mind that it may be different from the restaurant, but still. It is a "just fine" mediocre chain. I don't think the food is good. It's just kind of bland and without flavor. The salad dressing was basically all just vinegar without much oil, which made it pretty overpowering. The pizza looked nice, but it was all deception for the bland flavor. Go to Lou Malnati's if you want deep dish. read more

Giordano's - Deep Dish Pizza and Giordanos Salad - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Giordanos never disappoints! I was driving from Indiana to Wisconsin, and what better place to stop than the best pizza restaurant on the planet! It was late (around 8pm) but still plenty of table being served but they were limited on staff. We were greeted in about 5 minutes, and the deep dish pizza took about 35 which is normal. As always it taste amazing, and the motzerella triangles are a nice appetizer to share among friends while leaving room for the main course. The staff were all friendly, and we did need some help from someone else as our waiter was very busy but everything was great and we definitely would come back. The only downside of going to Giordanos is choosing between the pizza and the Italian beef. read more

We ordered pizzas to go late evening on a Saturday Labor Day weekend. Our cousins insisted we have to try this pizza as we were visiting from California. Pizza was ready in time and hot. We ate it when we got back to hotel room. This was the best pizza I've ever had. We ordered a small which was plenty even took leftovers home and was delicious reheated as well. read more

Service was absolutely horrible. I called ahead to make a reservation and reschedule pizza at a specific time. I was told we can just walk in. So we did. The place was busy and we weren't seated for at least 20 min while other groups were seated before us and I had told them we preordered pizza. We sit down and no one comes to our table for a while until I motion to the manager. There appears to be one waitress for the whole restaurant. We get our food and it's definitely been made as preordered but since it took such a long time to get seated and serviced at our table, it's obviously not fresh anymore and has been sitting out. At the end of all this, no compensation on our check. read more

Giordano's - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Do you want to try a super delicious Chicago-style pizza? Then Giordano's restaurant is the place for that! A big plus is that it has multiple locations around Chicago, and many of them are open until late. I visited a few locations, and I can declare that every single restaurant was always ideally clean, nicely decorated, and, of course, very busy! The atmosphere at this restaurant chain is always fun! Note that during weekends and busy weekdays, it's better to make a reservation if you want to eat inside. The bar area is often very busy too; it may be hard to get a seat there, especially if there are a few of you. Another option if you don't want to wait in a long line for a table is to use the official website and place your order online. By the way, cooking a Chicago-style pizza usually takes about 30 minutes, so make sure to place your online order in advance before coming to the restaurant. Another big plus is that there are multiple size options for the pizza. I believe that an Individual size is more than enough for one person. Don't be tricked by the Small size, as it is for 2-3 people (they put this information on the website menu when you place your order). The Chicago-style pizza is SUPER filling! Even when I order an individual size, I cannot finish it all at once; I always leave one piece for the next day. By the way, you can build your own pizza if you don't see the one you want on the menu. I personally like to make a BBQ chicken/pepperoni/mushrooms/tomato pizza, but from time to time, I play with the ingredients depending on my mood. The restaurant menu has a lot of options for food. It's not only about Chicago-style pizza, but I come to this place specifically for that. The prices on the menu are mostly reasonable, though a few items are overpriced, including the Chicago-style pizza, which is not that cheap. By the way, here's a little trick: if there are two of you and your tastes are pretty much the same, order and share one Small Chicago-style pizza. It will be a bit more food and cheaper than ordering two Individual pizzas. This specific restaurant I am reviewing was the last one I recently visited. Its location is not very convenient, to be honest. The area around it is still developing and building up. But the restaurant is big, remodeled, everything there was in very good condition and ideally clean. Every single restaurant worker was sweet and friendly to me. And a plus is that it may not be as busy as the restaurants in Downtown Chicago, so you can always get a table there or seats at the bar. I absolutely recommend Giordano's if you're looking for Chicago-style pizza! Trust me, you will not regret it! read more

Our waitress was great! She had a bubbly personality. She gave us great recommendations on things to do while we were in town. Food was delicious as always, however a gentleman in the corner was vaping in the restaurant 3 different staff member's watched him and did NOT address it with the customer. When eating out I expect to not be worried about people vaping inside. read more

long wait times even on a slower evening Came here on a Monday night to finally have chicagos well known deep dish! Heard this was a good chain to try out! Right off the bat parking is $10 for those who are eating here which I'm kind of surprised by, but whatever. I was immediately sat and while I'm by myself it took 15 minutes for my waiter to check on me for the first time which seemed weird as it wasn't very busy. Majority of tables were already eating and not waiting. I was told then that deep dish would take 45 minutes to cook and thin crust 35 minutes to bake once I placed my order. So in total I waited an hour before I could eat. It took another 10 minutes after being seen to get my cocktail, which again, not a busy night so shocked it took so long. I've been to packed bars with faster service! The pizza was good though, nicely cooked and a good amount of toppings piled on. The crust though isn't anything to rave about. I actually didn't eat the left over crust so there was a pile of it left on my plate - kind of like a worse version of pie crust? Like I said, nothing too great. I was only able to eat 3 slices before I was stuffed and the waiter kindly packaged it all up for me to take back. Overall not horrible pizza, but after talking to a few locals they say they don't really prefer this as there are many other better deep dish places. Glad to have tried this to experience it and move onto the next pizza place! read more

Giordano's - Drink menu - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Aww man, first time trying deep dish pizza and I feel like I'm ruined for any other place, it's that good. Be patient! Perfection takes time in the oven. This place is pretty cool, good drinks, good service and clean restrooms. What else can you ask for. They have a large back dining room last the restrooms where it looks like they hold catering parties. I highly recommend their Meat and More Meat Deep dish. It really is delicious. Lots of cheese, meats and the perfect amount of sauce. Crust is not mushy but nice and crisp and holds together perfectly. read more

The pizza is five stars just prepared to wait 45 minutes to get one. The service is good. They come with the refills very regularly. The place is clean and the staff seats you relatively quickly. The place could use a little soul, and it really has no personality as far as decor and ambience. The pizza is the star of the show, lots of cheese, very rich flavored sauce, and the crust is superb. It's literally pie crust on a pizza it tastes so delicious. The cheese pull is legendary; I wish I would've got a picture of it. It's a cheese lovers paradise. Next time I would probably take one to go. It tasted great the next day when I put it in the microwave. Great pie, but they gotta pick up the pace when it comes to the service. read more

Giordano's - The classic Chicago pie, pepperoni, onions and we said no to mushrooms, flavor overall 10/10 - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Service was good and fast. Appetizers came out pretty quickly. Ordered the wings, garlic parm fries, and salads which were all pretty good. Pizza takes about 40 minutes but they let you know that on the menu. The personal pizzas are really small, like smaller than the appetizer plates. We did "build your own" and my pizza ended up kind of soupy. Since this was my first experience with deep dish, I don't have anything to compare it to so that may be normal. Flavor was good. Only downsides were that the long islands we ordered were on the weaker side and they didn't have ketchup bottles, only small packets so that was a bit weird but overall a good experience. read more

First local experience with Chicago deep dish pizza and it did not disappoint. My friend who is currently studying at UIC took me here and we came in very hungry. We ordered the deep dish with sausage, pepperoni, and mushrooms and it was so good. We also ordered the cheese sticks as we waited for the main course. Overall a really good experience with the one thing I needed to try while visiting the Windy City! read more

It's $10 to park if you'd like to park in the small parking lot. The man had us squeeze our suv into a small spot. The way vehicles are parked in the parking lot I'm sure some get scrapped. Went on a Monday around 1pm and it wasn't busy at all, only 2 other parties there. The server checked on us plenty of times though she talked really low so half the time I wasn't sure what she said. The salad and the pizza I ate were very good. read more

I had Friends in town from Nebraska and they wanted to try deep dish pizza. We decided to go to this restaurant as it was close to downtown but not one of those tourist traps. We we were able to get seated right away and I and had a good view of the Sear's tower. This location has parking however it's $5 for up to 2 hours which isn't a bad deal at all. All. Also there is an attendant outhere's an attendant outside felt good for safety. On to the food of course we had to get classic deep dish pizza. But they also wanted to try another pizza because they weren't sure if they were going to like the deep dish. Since deep dish takes 45 minutes to make we opted for drinks beforehand. I got a Cosmo, which was a big mistake. It did not have the color that a normal Cosmo would have and it was not cold at all. I did have to return it. I ended up grabbing a glass of Malbec and that was really delicious. As far as my friends they were satisfied with the bloody Mary and the Margarita. Our food came out and of course the deep dish was really delicious the thin crust was also good but I feel like they didn't bring that out as soon as it was ready so it was lukewarm which was a little disappointing. We had plenty of leftovers and they were gracious to provide pizza boxes to take home. I would say all in all was a good experience. Our server seemed to be a little inexperienced but she was friendly. She was forgetful. We did have to reminder a couple of times for our necessities such as plates and water but she did bring it. In the end the Nebraska ladies prefer the deep dish to the thin cross and even was considering ordering the frozen to take home. read more

This place is an absolute train wreck!. We have ordered take out a few times, and every time there is an issue. NO MORE. The last two times we ordered large trays of spaghetti and meat sauce, only to walk all the way home and find out we did not get meat sauce. To top it off, the spaghetti was all clumped together. The staff no longer cares, the food is awful. It is a real shame, but corporate should just go ahead and close this location down. read more

Just do yourself a favor when you are in Chicago and stop at this location of Giordano's. Best deep dish pizza around. Be ready to wait as it cooks, but trust me the wait is worth it. The meats pizza is hands down on of the best on the menu. The service is always spot on and we have never had a problem. It's such a chill location and can get busy around dinner time so if you can sneak in lunch it's the perfect time to come. read more

Another Chicago must-have.. Deep dish pizza! Ordered a small deep dish with 3-4 toppings for carry out, and it came out to around $30. The wait was only about 50 minutes on a Wednesday night around 5-6pm. The interior is so well decorated, which provides a warm feel. As far as the pizza goes, the sauce was my favorite; it was rich and chunky. The toppings were alright. The crust was like a pie crust! read more

Wowww this was my first Chicago deep dish and it set the bar high. We got the classic which has pepperoni, mushrooms, peppers, and onions! It was stuffed so it came with two layers of dough. The amount of cheese was ridiculous. I could only eat one slice in one sitting because it was so heavy! The leftovers were just as good. The only downside is that it takes 45 min to make their deep dish which is understandable but hard to wait when you're starving! Have to plan ahead next time. We also started with their chopped salad. The one person serving size was actually enough for two people. The toppings were delicious and highly recommend this to balance out all that pizza. read more

When visiting Chicago, we were told to have pizza at Giordano's. My daughter and I found a location near a museum we wanted to visit so we stopped in for lunch mid week. We were pretty much the only customers. The space was huge with lots of tables and a handful of booths as well as a large area in the back for big parties. We ordered a personal deep dish pepperoni pizza and a thin crust personal sausage pizza. They were both seasoned well with a yummy sauce and delicious crust. The toppings were yummy and the pizza very cheesy. The service was great too. We really enjoyed eating lunch here but I wasn't blown away by the pizza. Hence the 4 stars. read more

Giordano's - This is my personal pan deep dish pizza - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I ordered delivery from this Giordano's a few weeks ago. The service was very good as I ordered off of DoorDash and while it was not tracking properly, the person who picked up the phone explained the situation clearly and provided me a status update when I called. The person who delivered the pizza was friendly and got the job done. I thought the pizza was pretty good too. I ordered a deep dish with sausage and pepperoni. Although I felt disappointed just because I may have simply misremembered how good Giordanos actually was as I hadn't ate it for more than 5 years. I still recommend and would go to this location again for delivery or to eat there if I want to eat Giordanos pizza. read more

The server was really good but very soft spoken in a loud restaurant. We ordered the double pepperoni parmesan crusted pan pizza which lacked flavor & a layer of pepperoni. That was a waste of pizza. However the garlic parmesan fries, sweet skillet cookie & cheesy garlic bread was delicioso! I decided not to say anything about the food to our waitress & just pay our bill. Then the manager walked over to the table as I was paying & said sorry you all were not happy with your pizza. I asked him how did he know & he said our waitress overheard our conversation about the pizza. He thanked me generously for not making a big deal about it & asking for a discount like others. read more

3rd choice of pizza place as the other 2 were closed to dining in. Arrived at 12:30, only 3 tables with people at them (should have been a sign to leave but the kids were hungry). Seated us quickly and didn't bring us a menu; no QR codes to scan or any other way to order. Had to ask for a menu and was given 1. Waitress does not return for 10 minutes. Order 2 sodas, 3 waters, salad starter, and 2 pizzas. Soda comes out in 2 minutes with 1 water. Salad out a minute later. "Adult water" takes another 10 minutes for some strange reason. Meatball gets delivered to our table then picked up and deliver to the table that likely ordered it. Salad didn't come out until the pizza (which takes a while as it was deep dish). Pizza was good. Just super slow for the easy stuff. read more

This used to be my haunt when I was in university and it has gone down a little since then. Firstly, the exterior of the building looks like the place is closed down; it's hard to discern how to get in, and harder to see if the place is open. Once inside, you have to get a staff member's attention to be seated. Once sat down, the service was okay - the place was quiet, so we were attended to quickly. I feel like the lunchtime pizzas aren't as good as the full pizzas; the crusts is much smaller and the pizza's a bit meh. We also had the Ceaser Salad which was dripping in dressing. All in all, it was an okay experience for deep dish pizza. read more

We grabbed lunch here after visiting the UIC campus. It was a weekday a little after 11, so they had just opened and were not busy. We were seated right away and were given the option to pick where we sat. I think the best part about this visit was the customer service. I can't remember the name of our waitress, but she was phenomenal. Super attentive and helpful with answering our questions and providing recommendations. The pizza is made to order, so be prepared to wait a good 45 minutes to an hour if you order pizza. The food tastes great - we especially liked the garlic cheese bread and the deep dish pizza, of course! We ended up going with the lunch specials which allowed us to each get an individual pizza with a side salad or fries. read more

Giordano's - Chicago Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Alright homies, this is a big one. As a new Chicago-an, I decided that it was time to make the holy pilgrimage to THE Giordano's and try Chicago-style deep dish pizza for the first time! And let me tell you it did NOT disappoint. My friend and I were going to initially go to the one by Cloud Gate but naturally that was quite packed on a Sunday evening so we headed over to this one in the West Loop. On initial arrival parking was $5 cash which was a little annoying but we were determined to get our deep dish that night. Place wasn't too packed and we were seated rather quickly. We were very hungry and ordered the Giordanno's platter as an appetizer which was an oasis of cheese and sauces. Highly recommend if you enjoy variety, and especially if you are getting deep dish because typically they take up to an hour to make. Now for the main course, 'The Special'. We were deciding between this and the Chicago Classic which looked equally good, but we were in a sausage mood. I'm more than happy to set my ego aside and admit that I could barely finish one slice. Each bite was like an entire slice of pizza. Granted we did go pretty hard with the appetizers, but I am very happy that we have a ton of leftovers. Overall, their pizza was a one of a kind experience. I've never eaten something so jam packed with...well STUFF. I get why this is a classic in this city, and I will surely be back again. read more

I'm visiting my daughter in Chicago and we're going to some of my old favorite restaurants. I've been coming to Giordano's on nearly every trip since the 1980's. I've tried other deep-dish places, they're good, but in my book Giordano's remains the benchmark. We went to the West Loop locale for lunch. Wow, I remember when there were only a few locations - this place looked newer and upscale compared to the downtown locales I once haunted. At any rate, we ordered a small pizza - yes, for the two of us, they're that filling. Did you know you can go half-and-half on items? This is very important for my daughter and I as our tastes vary considerably. She ordered Canadian bacon, tomatoes and broccoli on her half, while I had garlic, mushrooms, spinach and bacon for mine. Just look at that photo! Such thick, ooey-gooey cheesey deliciousness. To me it's that cheese that sets Giordano's apart from other deep-dish establishments. One small pizza is ample for two people. In fact I only ate a single slice. Not that I couldn't have eaten more, but it was only lunch and hey, a guy's gotta watch his figure. The pizza was as good as ever! I'm very pleased to have turned my daughter into a fan. I highly recommend this or any of Giordano's Chicago locations. And for the purists who say deep-dish isn't really pizza (but a casserole, maybe?) I say.....who cares! It's a Chicago classic, it's delicious, enjoy a pie on your next visit here. PS - The pizza is made fresh as ordered so be prepared for a wait, it's all part of the experience. You can order appetizers if you're starving but be sure to save lots of room for the main course. read more
