Exterior July 2025.  We found street parking a few blocks down for free!
Brett B.

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.

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.

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.

Deep dish pizza- delicious. Nice selection of pizzas and other food. Bottomless drinks. Great cheese bread. Full tummies, happy family. Fantastic service. Comfy atmosphere.

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!

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!

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.

The classic Chicago pie, pepperoni, onions and we said no to mushrooms, flavor overall 10/10
Ry R.

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.

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.

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!

Service was really really good here cool calm quiet location. In house was very clean, pops were a bit watered down, bathrooms were very very clean and I love the set up, old school tall doors lol I loved it and the food honey is simply AMAZING!

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.

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.

I really liked it, I thought the pork was perfectly charred and the toppings were all fresh and went really well with it. The rice was also fluffy and seasoned well, which is usually my biggest critique of bowl meals. Overall, solid option if you want something fast to go or to enjoy in the store.
