The food was OK but after the check came there was a surcharge added. This was not disclosed. I hope they enjoy the extra fee they added just to screw customers as I will NOT BE BACK. read more

Amazing pizza as always and great service! Make a special effort to have this Chicago standard!

Deep dish pizzas are what brings most diners to Giordano's. Their deep dish pizzas are so delicious. Love the super veggie full of mushrooms, green peppers, spinach, broccoli, black olives and garlic. The salad with candied nuts, dried fruit, blue cheese and balsamic vinaigrette was a nice light compliment to the rich pizza. But... Their t-shirts are so funny. Here are a few our our favorites. "My kind of love triangle." "Stuffed in Chicago" And our favorite... "Yeah, I'm into Fitness...Fit ness whole Giordano's pizza into my mouth." Go to Giordano's and enjoy...deep dish style. read more

Ordered a Caesar salad, thin crust pepperoni and sausage pizza, and chocolate chip cookies for pick up on a Friday evening during Lollapalooza. Our order was prepared quickly and was ready shortly after we arrived. We live in The Loop but opted for their West Loop location since Lollapalooza is going on in our neighborhood and we wanted to avoid the crowds. This was our first time at the West Loop location and the experience went well. We don't typically order from Giordano's, but you really can't go wrong with them. Everything was delicious as usual! read more

Visited Vegas and Chicago locations and I must say this is quality pizza. Have tried a couple different recipes and went with the spinach this go round. Didn't miss the meat at all. Takes 45 mins for the pizza to be prepared, but it's well worth the wait. Multiple locations and definitely delicious. Friendly staff and very helpful. read more

Ok, I've come around to Giordano's. The pizza has grown on me, and dare I say it, tastes better than my (formerly) beloved Lou's. A friend of mine was in town for a conference and remembered Giordano's from his last visit. "I've been dreaming about it for years." So we even went to the spot we first had it. Unfortunately, it was also a busy weekend and I don't think they were prepared for it. The wait wasn't too long but you could just tell the staff was overwhelmed. We started at the bar but the bartender was trying to help out, expoing food, clearing tables ON TOP of tending the bar, getting a beer was difficult. Again, this is no fault of the staff, they were trying their best. Once we got seated, it was hard to find a server. I honestly couldn't tell who was taking care of who or what tables were in what section. Seriously, someone came to take our order and then someone else came by to see if we needed anything and then we fine and then we finally just flagged anyone down. read more

Ordered Tavern style for delivery. First, it's not tavern-style; it's their same old quasi thin pizza. Second, it wasn't cooked enough. Cheese was barely melted & arrived cold. Good for deep dish, but BEWARE: THIS IS NOT TAVERN STYLE. Shame on you Giordano's!!! read more

Greeted at the door and placed under Cathy my server's care. She welcomed me, whipped out a menu and explained the process. Since their pizza is made fresh there will be a wait. Yes, its worth the wait. Cathy was attentive and professional. I will be ordering a hero for the rest of my two day train rider to Seattle. read more

Best Chicago deep dish. This place was recommended by several local people and they were correct. Great deep dish. read more

My friend and I were on a time crunch and decided to share an individual sized deep dish pizza. It was just an appetizer that served for another meal later on in the night. Honestly, the server said 25-30 minutes was required to prepare it, but in reality it took close to 45 minutes. We barely made our next dinner reservation. Furthermore, we asked for the bill while the pizza was being prepared, but didn't get it until much later. We got the check while we were finishing up our last few bites. Regarding the pizza itself and coming from a person who is experiencing deep dish pizza for the first time ever, it was mediocre. I liked how the crust was not too thick or thin, and was crusty/crunchy! Cheese was on point, but the pizza aroma was still a bit lacking. It kind of felt like it was cooked half heartedly without that "hearty" pizza goodness. Long review short: below average service, average Joe deep dish pizza (from what I believe deep dish pizza's potential could be). Looking forward to trying other deep dish pizzas in Chicago! read more

Giordano's - Smallest sized individual pizza, with sausage and mushroom toppings! - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I have been to many different Giordanos locations and this is the best location thus far. The service is superior to all other locations I've been to with the location on 52nd and Pulaski being the worst. The food even tastes better here to be honest. I had a reservation for a table of 14 people and the restaurant was very accommodating and even seated us in the private banquet area. The restaurant is also the cleanest location I've been to.

Giordano's was ok, but I honestly didn't feel it was anything special. I came here with my husband's family for dinner. They love pizza and all rave about deep dish pizzas. I can honestly say this was the first time I realized what deep dish pizza was. It's honestly not for me. I'm not sure what I thought it was but all that cheese is just too much. We ordered 2 deep dish pizzas and 2 thin pizzas. One deep dish was pepperoni and spinach and the other was sausage. Both of the thin crust were sausage pizzas. Now I can honestly say that the sausage they use on their pizzas is good. I don't usually like sausage pizza because it's not often you find a sausage that's authentic but their sausage was very good and tasted authentic. The thin crust pizza wasn't bad. It had a decent flavor. The deep dish pizza wasn't bad but it just wasn't for me. I didn't realize deep dish was a thin layer of crust on the bottom layered with meat and a WHHHOOLLEEE lot of cheese stacked and piled on top of itself with high bread sides. I just don't like that the majority of the pizza is cheese. I like a good amount of cheese but with a deep dish it's overkill. Overall, Giordano's pizza was ok and not bad. It just didn't give me the wow factor. It was good for the moment but I'm sure there are better pizza joints out there, especially in Chi-town. read more

Giordano's - Deep Dish with Spinach - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The pizza here is seriously like nothing I had ever had before. Chicago is the King of Deep Dish pizza.

We had our rehearsal dinner here, and I have to say Giordano's really dropped the ball. Setting up the logistics was actually really great-- no other pizza place was so helpful or flexible. We needed an extension beyond the normal length of their contract, and they were happy to oblige. But on the night of the rehearsal dinner, they didn't take drink orders as they were meant to, they didn't refill water glasses, all of the soda was flat, and all of the pizza was cold. We were hoping to introduce our out of town guests to true Chicago deep dish, but anyone who came in a skeptic surely left as one as well! read more

When you come to the town and you're looking for something that is stereotypical Chicago, this is the place. I've come here a few times before, and it says something that every time I'm in town that I always stop with my friends. My friends live here in Chicago. And they get to try all of the competitors' deep dish pizza and yet they are still happy to come here as well. I just found out that they also can ship pizzas to other places. I've been coming here for so many years That I remember when that wasn't an option and it is now so I'm looking forward to having something shipped to my house. Very tasty and you won't be disappointed when you try it. read more

The answer to the question do you want deep dish pizza is always a resounding yes. I met up with a friend who was visiting from out of town and brought them to this location. Ambiance this is one of the larger Giordano's locations based & there's convenient pais parking close bye. The tables of adequately spaced the décor has historical pictures from early fifties it's fun to walk around Staff was more than helpful they walked around & asked questions .I ordered breadsticks by mistake and when I went to talk to them they remove the order promptly they even had a sample of a new Borewores flavor that they offered to us complimentary all round exceptional service very goods and very responsive Food the meat pizza was so good with right amount of bacon, pepperoni, sausage and just the right amount of cheese. Just thinking about the order still makes my mouth water. I found out that Giordanohas a larger small pizza than Lou Malnati's. We ordered a small for 2 people and it was more than enough. read more

Giordano's is great. I went for lunch and ordered the lunch special, which came with a lot of options. Make sure you grab some deep dish from this place. Also, the Parmesan garlic fries were amazing. This place will definitely fill your stomach at a decent price. I couldn't even finish the personal pizza. I highly recommend eating here. read more

A very spacious Giordano's just outside of The Loop, which makes this location much less busy (and wait times are usually much shorter) than the more popular, tourist-y Giordano's in The Loop. For this reason, it's actually my preferred Giordano's spot if I'm downtown. I've only ever gotten the deep dish pizza here so I can only really speak to that. It's usually pretty good, but there have been times when the pizza was a tad bit dry and didn't have as much flavor as it did other times I've been here. That being said, I'm usually pretty satisfied after eating here. Service has never been particularly spectacular, but I don't really have any complaints either. Overall, a solid spot to satisfy your deep dish cravings. read more

Giordano's does a solid job in the race for the deep dish crown. While each chain will run a different style of how they prepare their pizza, if you're looking for a good introduction to this thick crust phenomenon, then drop on by here at this location! First of all, why this location you may ask? Being tucked away near UIC, you definitely face less crowds than other Giordano's downtown. I was here twice this last week and each time, we were promptly seated with no hour long wait. Now the real question is, how does the food compare? Each time I go get deep dish, I usually order a calamari to start before proceeding with the 45-minute wait for the pizza. At Giordano's, the calamari was decent with a couple of fried veggies mixed in for some variety. Nothing outstanding to be honest, but gets the job done. The pizzas here are quite large, even for a small! Get a personal size if you are thinking of tackling one by yourself. Let your pride aside. However, if you're with a group, a small size can easily feed 3 people. My first time here, we went all out with our meat, and the sausage here definitely makes the pizza awesome. My second time, we ordered a deep dish loaded with veggies and asked for sausages. Unfortunately, they seemed to forget our side ingredient which would have made the pizza much better. Overall, toppings are solid, and the crust at Giordano's is okay. It's not as buttery as other chains, and I wish it was because the crust should be the defining part of a deep dish. Service here was good, but wish it could have been a bit more attentive given that there aren't as many patrons at this location. Oh well, can't beat not waiting in line for an hour for some Chicago pizza can you? read more

Good quality & value - this pizza is the real deal, both traditional deep dish and extra-thin crust are excellent. Also really impressed by the salads, which were good enough to make full meals out of! I especially liked the local/traditional chopped chicken salad (tossed with pasta and a host of fresh crisp vegetables and of course chicken). Decent but predictable drink options, good service. read more

I can't say if food is good or bad, but the service was terrible. I am not sure if it was because we were only two, but we waited for 20 minutes and no one brought us water or come to check on us. When I went up to a server and explained that no one had given us service, she said that we weren't in her section...she did tell the hostess. My friend and I walked out. I think we would have stayed had someone simply come by and told us sorry for the long wait, or the honest answer of making a mistake and over looking us. My friend and walked a few blocks toward Greek town and got good Greek food instead. I work in the service industry, and realize that not every night can be a stellar night, but I found the lack of service was just dumb founding. read more

Despite the risk of starting World War III, I'll start off by saying I'm firmly in the Lou Malnati camp. I'm a crust guy - the crust can make or break a pizza for me. Giordano's is known for their "stuffed" pizza, with ingredients in the middle. The selection of "toppings" (really, more like stuffings between the layers of cheese and tomato sauce) exceeds that of Lou Malnati's by quite a bit. The crust, however, has a texture reminiscent of softer cardboard, and has minimal flavor; it acts as a medium to carry a pizza rather than a complement. That said, Giodano's isn't a bad pizza by any means, and this location is far from being a bad restaurant. Service was snappy, and the pizzas are individually baked with each order. Expect a 40 min wait, even when not busy because of this. However, the pizzas do come out piping hot and very fresh. If the two restaurants (Lou and Giordano) got together and made a deep dish that combined their crusts and stuffings... I'd be sold. For now, I'll just have to settle for whichever I'm craving. read more

LaTanya and Gladys were awesome! LaTanya was leaving for the day with her purse on her shoulder and Gladys was busy with a phone order. LaTanya asked if she could help me, and put her purse down to take my order. She was very polite and respectful. Gladys kindly walked me to the bar where Lalo took excellent care of me. What a nice place. The local wheat beer was great and the deep dish pizza was amazing. I'm not from here, but it sure felt welcoming! Thank you! read more

We had giordano's catered at our lunch today. I usually would have low expectations for catered pizza as I usually prefer pizza that's piping hot right out of the oven, but they did a great job maintaining temperature and freshness. I'm new to Chicago and have only tried pequod's, so deep dish isn't an expertise of mine at all, but I definitely enjoyed it. Pequod's seemed to be heavier on the crust than giordano's rich, thick cheese and sauce layering that comprised the vast majority of the thickness of the pizza. We had their sausage and veggie pizzas. Both were delicious, though I was more impressed with the veggie pizza simply due to the fact that it's usually not easy for me to enjoy veggie pizza, so major points for that. read more

Way understaffed on Saturday night. Our server was bussing tables, taking orders AND bartending. Pizza was hot, DELISH - as expected. Beers were delivered promptly. Server forgot about our hot wings and we had to remind him. Had to beg for water service; Man friend kindly reminded our server at least 4 times. We did not receive ANY water until the very end of our meal. Server apologized. Parking lot is $5 CASH for 2hrs. OVERALL: Food was DELISH; service was shaky. 3.5/5 read more

Came here because we wanted Deep Dish pizza. Our service from beginning to end was amazing!!! We had no issues being sat even though we were a group of seven. We order appetizers, drinks, and a deep dish of course. Every food item was delicious. Didn't needs to add more salt or pepper. I was kind of nervous ordering the deep dish but it was so good. The pizza hand excellent flavors. Will most definitely come back here when I visit again. read more

We Boston-area thin-crusters were all skeptical but very willing and excited to try the famous deep dish Chicago pie on our first trip to the Windy City. Absolutely made believers of all of us with a gorgeous, generous, flavor-filled pie with fresh ingredients baked into the pie (as opposed to those who just dump the toppings loosely on top where they fall off as you try to eat it). We tried another famous Chicago deep dish, but Giordano's was in a league of its own. It is a taste we will crave, knowing if we want that authentic flavor and unique pizza pie to cross our tastebuds again, we'll have to start driving west! Comparing thin crust to deep dish is a bit like comparing fried shrimp to shrimp scampi. They are similar in some ways, but cannot be called the same thing, and are both delicious in their own ways when made with love and great cheese. We were thrilled to expand our pizza palette (and our waistlines) for the Giordano's deep dish vegetable pie. Kudos for letting people order their long-time-to-cook pies while they are the long line for a table! So it is closer to being ready by the time you sit down. Sensible, terrific idea. Casual, family atmosphere and friendly service. read more
