Great pizza, but plan ahead: all deep dishes, no matter the size, take about 45 minutes to prepare. It feels like a sports bar but also family-friendly--a well-rounded menu with something for everyone. Lunch specials are available daily, which include a salad. I opened the lunch special of a personal pan deep dish with a salad and took half of the pizza back to the hotel. read more

verything happens for a reason. Giordano's Pizza in Chicago carries a unique history of more than 50 years, and you can feel it the moment you walk in. Its classic atmosphere and vintage charm make the experience unforgettable. María Álvarez , our server, was far more than that; she was an exceptional host of hospitality and great service. The starters; the fried calamari and the house salad; were a sublime touch to the palate, setting the perfect tone for the meal. And the star of the night: Giordano's Chicago-style pizza. Simply beyond words. I would return again and again; for the pizza, and especially for María's outstanding service. A complete, authentic, and highly recommended experience. read more

The thin pizza is crazy good, delivery is slow. The service is slow inside as well. Too slow. But the pizza is awesome.

Super surprised this place wasn't very busy on a Sunday before Christmas with the airport right down the road. Our server was super quick and our food and drinks were hot. It's been awhile and I didn't remember Giordano's selling alcohol but damn that holiday fruit punch went down smooth. Also I've tried several of the deep dish pizzas but never the veggie. Honestly it might be my new go to. It was freaking delicious. My friend and I say and chatted while the pizza cooked so it was perfect for catching up. read more

Excellent! Famous Traditional Chicago Deep dish pizza. You definitely need a Knife and Fork. Stopped here before our flight from Chicago-Midway. Service was the Best! Great Ambiance. It is in the landing flight path and we could watch the planes land. Not very noisy despite that so that was very cool. I definitely recommend stopping here if you are going to or leaving Chicago-Midway airport. read more

Great deep dish, my second favorite Chicago pizzeria. Sauce is incredible and crust is delightful. Highly recommend.

Hot, fresh, and scrumptious!!! It took all of 45 mins but it was worth it!!! We had the meats and it was loaded. Everything was balanced! I am looking into shipping one to my home. It was delicious! The waiter was knowledgeable and considerate when we took our time to order and give us some advice while ordering. He checked on us repeatedly and kept our glasses full. I will most definitely come back to this location the next time I visit the Windy City! read more

Food was great but what really topped everything was our waiter Gustavo!! 5 stars for that brother and the sweet lady who took the time to sing Happy Birthday to my sister 30 minutes before closing me and my family appreciate you guys thank you all again!!! read more

Food is pretty good Menu is extensive and tasty Service is solid. Nice guy Ambiance is chill Would come back read more

The server was great. He was upfront and brutally honest on how long it may take to get fresh pizza. It was worth the wait to try a Chicago style pizza. It definitely is nowhere near a New York style pizza. The crust was very different and baked so it could house all the toppings on the bottom cheese and then tomato sauce on top. The place was busy and cozy yet I felt comfortable because it was definitely a family style dining experience. read more

This was the worst giordanos experience I've ever had. The manager initially took our drink order after over 20 minutes of being seated and told us that a waiter would be taking over our table. No waiter ever took over. Nobody checked on us, and we had to flag someone down any time we needed something. At the end of our meal we asked someone for boxes and he never came back. We had to flag down a different waitress. I told her about our experience and she just said "yeah we got busy out of no where tonight." The restaurant was mostly empty for a large portion of our meal. This giordanos has the worst customer service I've ever experienced. I was severely disappointed as giordanos is a staple in my "welcome to Chicago" tour that I give to all of my family that come in from out of town. I'll remember to steer clear of this location and stick to the downtown locations from now on. read more

Giodano's didn't get the memo that it's winter in Chicago. The first thing I noticed were most of the patrons seated were in their outerwear coats. Once seated I understood why. The dining area was cold! The entire restaurant was colrestroom included were cold !! How do you enjoy a meal when your hands and feet are freezing? The large half cheese/black olive half sausage/fresh garlic/spinach was hot & delicious. A side of calamari was tasty but could have been fried more crisp. read more

Had a wonderful time at Giordano's while in town with friends visiting from Pittsburgh and Omaha. We got the original or chicago style one and it was good! Great flavor, cooked perfectly, and just what we were looking for as tourists in Chicago. It did take a very long time to come out, but we knew that going into it before we even got to the restaurant. The server and other staff were all very patient with our rambunctious children (ages 3, 2, and 1) and made sure our drinks stayed full, cleared the table in a timely manner, and made sure our needs were met. Overall a great experience and glad we were able to give it a try! read more

Okay fine I'm a tourist eating at the edge of an airfield. But we people have to eat too. Get enough for a small planeful at Gio's. I was committed from building entry: all in on the carbs, you only eat stuffed once, 45 mins isn't so long to wait, tomorrow's run can just be longer, all the mind tricks. It helped me through the waiting period. First I'll start with the Italian Salad. True to form it includes meat. Good because I need meat while I wait for my meat. Somewhat limited draft selection, but see the earlier "airfield edge" comment and what did I expect? It could've been worse and their taps were all broken. But now I'm settled in for a long fall's wait, watching everybody else wolf down their giant portions and take home stacks of boxes. In Italy you'd never share a pie. You get yours and it's probably a good single portion. All you fake light-eater types would take half home like you weren't going to devour as soon as you walk in the door. But whoever invented the "Chicago Stuffed Deep Dish" had the opposite idea in mind: this is going to be so big it'll last a couple days. Finally the hour has arrived: I'm nervous, yet serene. My neighbor needles me on the way out the door in his Chicago accent: "you gonna finish dat?" I say "sure in a coupla days". In my not-Chicago accent. Next 45 mins: allegedly consuming half. Next 45, rest. Next 45 nightie-night. However not before I packed up that monstrosity for the next 48 hours. It seems those on a diet order the thin crust, however I also noticed they defeat the purpose by getting the large. So really it just means greater circumference instead of depth. The cheese inside is a little much. Not really people, just some pizza humor. Back in 1974 when they started this joint, I'm sure quick heart attacks were on nobody's mind. They still aren't here. I mean come on, has anybody actually had one while eating? That seems rare. And at least they could get the paramedics to pack up the to-go box for post-op. Beats jello. If I don't return it's just due to changing flight patterns. Otherwise I'll be back in that 45-minute holding pattern. read more

Giordano's - Deep dish pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I placed online for large fry for $5.45 along w stuffed pizza. Requested plates cheese and crushed red pepper. Received none of that. The fries were cold and didn't even fill half the container. I took a picture because it definitely can not be the amount customers receive for almost $6. It's like they took some leftovers and threw them into a container. We will stick to Ciprianis in the neighborhood which is half the price, you get what you paid for and it's always hot! read more

not happy. I ordered one large deep dish spinach and mushroom pizza one small stuffed spinach and mushroom pizza and three orders of cannolis from the 63rd and Cicero location in Chicago and while the pizzas were okay a little watery from the spinach not being drained properly. the cannolis were absolutely horrible. what I receive were not cannolis they were cannolis bits that had been beaten to death with a filling as a possible dipping sauce. The filling is bland and grainy the bits taste like cardboard. Not the pastries wanted to use to celebrate my father on his 75th birthday. My dad has been sick and this is the one thing he asked for to celebrate and I am so disheartened at what I had to present to him. read more

Whenever I go to Chicago, I must have a slice of deep dish pizza from Giordano's. The first time I ever had it was about 12 years ago, and I was instantly hooked. Apparently, the locals don't even eat deep dish; It's more for the tourists. I'm a tourist and was in total tourist mode so I was happy that my first stop straight from the airport was Giordano's! We were able to preorder our pizza at the counter before being seated at a table. It takes 30 minutes to bake so it's helpful to preorder if you know what you want. We decided to do a medium build your own deep dish. Even though they were short staffed, the employees were so nice and patient as we ordered our pizza. We ordered some ingredients all over the pizza, and other ingredients (like mushrooms - gross) on half of the pizza. It was a little confusing, but the cashier was able to get it sorted out. We were seated at a table not long after preordering the pizza. Since they were short staffed, we had to wait for drinks, however our server, Armando greeted us when we sat down which I appreciated. He was running around like crazy serving tables, making drinks (they didn't have a bartender!), and basically holding it down. Drinks: We had wine and beer so it is what it is. I had a Stella and it was great with the pizza! Food: Giordano's House Salad - I loved the lemon vinaigrette dressing. This was definitely large enough to share. Calamari - I don't like calamari so I didn't have any, but my cousin and her husband enjoyed it. Deep Dish - It was just as good as I remembered it! The cheese is so gooey and delicious! The sauce was tasty, the meat was seasoned well. I don't even remember what all ingredients I had on my half (ground beef, pepperoni, bell peppers, onions, and something else that I'm forgetting). I ate one piece and was full and satisfied the rest of the evening. A medium was plenty for three people. We had leftovers that my aunt ate the next day. Armando did a great job. He took a long time to bring us water (we were almost done eating) but he apologized. He was working his butt off. He was so friendly and cool as a cucumber even though it was clear they were hustling to get to everyone. I know everyone has their favorite spot for pie in Chicago, but I am forever hooked to Giordano's. I can't wait to have it again the next time I visit! read more

I've had "Chicago Deep Dish" before in other states and was like ok I'm in Chicago let's have true Chicago Deep Dish. Let me tell you, it definitely didn't disappoint. The pizza was phenomenal and the crust was wonderful. We did the Small deep dish and took home 2 solid pieces for another day. Had their house salad as an appetizer and was so good, a little more onion than I'm use too, but still tasted great. The service was great she was there when we needed her but definitely didn't Hoover at all. The setting was on point for what I expected in a Chicago Pizzeria. Parking was fairly easy, but I can see where it could get hectic when it's super busy. It's literally across the street from Chicago Midway entrances too! read more

On Dec 14th we placed an order for food, have phone log of when we called and placed our order. We go to pick up our order only to find out that somehow Giordano's didn't have our order.

The food was great and the service was even better. Would definitely come by again soon. If there was something I would change here is the variety of condiments for the wings and drinks selection for the kids. Other than that everything else is great. read more

Better customer service! Ordered a pizza online for delivery. Waited almost two hours. Went and checked phone it said delivered? I went out in the cold and my pizza was sitting in the snow.

This is classic Chicago deep dish. Just know if you want deep dish you have to wait 45 minutes for it to be cooked, but definitely worth the wait. The restaurant is clean and has plenty of seating. The waiters were friendly and checked in with us consistently. We did a half and half deep dish with Hawaiian and jalapeños on one side and sausage and mushroom on the other half. It was delicious. If you haven't had this deep dish it's not super saucy. It's layers of toppings, crust, meat, cheese and the top layer is the sauce, almost like a lasagna. The crust is pretty run of the mill, but good when eating with the toppings. read more

This place used to be so good and it's gone completely down hill. My soup was cold, my pizza was cold, how does pizza come out of an oven cold? The waitress watched over me while I paid on a machine and tipped, I even asked her if she can leave the machine at my table and come back, and she said no. Then I went to the bathroom and another customer was yelling some girl is in the bathroom on her phone, so she was looking at me in the bathroom?!?! I will not be returning here, ever. read more

My experience was absolutely horrible. The server was so rude because when giving my drink order (water) I asked for my water in a to go cup. He told me he wasnt going to lose his job just because I wanted my water in a to go cup. So I asked the manager if I could. When the server came back over first thing he said was "is there going to be a problem because I don't have to serve you" the manager Hector, just acted as if the servers attitude was ok. Nobody wants to go out, and spend money at an establishment were they are going to be treated like a bother. Very displeased read more

Giordano's - I was in great anticipation for this deep dish to be served. Peep my handsome guy... #hottie - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

One thing I had on my "Must-Have" list while in Chicago was a Deep Dish. As I was talking with one of my Chicago Native friends she told me I had to go to G's. It was near my hotel, so I was excited. I placed my order via the website and as soon as it was submitted my stomach was happy. LoL! The website advised it would be about an hour or so for my perfectly crafter pizza to be ready. I arrived to the restaurant about 40 minutes later and my pizza was ready for pick up. I love a good under promise, over deliver. Upon getting back to my hotel I was so excited for this. Upon opening the box the aroma of cheese and sauce and fresh dough filled the air. The pizza was thoroughly cooked and the cheese was melted to a gooey perfection. I'm talking "cheese me please!" goodness. I ordered pepperoni as my protein and to my surprise, this wasn't no out of the bag pepperoni. This was hand cut, thick slices of pure pepperoni. You could literally smell the freshness of the meat. Oh yeah! They were not stingy with the meat either. The crust was a buttery perfection of soft and crunchy. Like the perfect biscuit with extra butter and an added sprinkle of bakers love. This 6" Individual Pizza was worth every dollar and every carb. This was truly a mouth pleasing experience. Things to Note: The items I requested via the website (Parmesan packets, Red chili packets, and utensils) weren't provided at pickup so make sure to check for everything before you depart. Overall, this was a food-tastic experience and I will definitely visit on every trip I make to Chicago. read more

I had the deep dish personal pizza at another Giordano's location several months ago here in Chicago; I had since RAVED about it to anyone that would listen. Hands down the best pizza I've ever had in the states! Sadly, this Giordano's location failed in comparison to my previous experience at the other location. The wait time quoted was over an hour- fine. I arrived within the 10 minute window that my email had quoted. My pizza was hot, but had a very soggy crust throughout, which told me it had likely been sitting in the warmer for quite sometime. Really wish there was a more accurate wait time, considering the lack of dine-in customers on a Monday at 4pm. At nearly $2 a topping, I would have expected more than the pinch of peppers that were sprinkled on top. The pizza overall lacked flavor, consistency, or anything memorable. I would be hard pressed to try this location again, I would have rather opted for the Panda Express across the street. read more

Giordano's, thanks for a great first deep dish pizza experience. Since deep dish pizza takes about 45 minutes to make, I called in for a pre-order. We arrived at the restaurant an hour later and it was perfect timing because the pizza was ready. But before we talk about the pizza, let's talk about the appetizers. Old Bay Wings Traditional bone-in chicken wings dry-rubbed with the famous Maryland spice blend served with our house-made ranch dipping sauce. The old bay wings were very heavy on the seasoning! I enjoyed them, but could probably only eat three max. Wisconsin Cheese Curds Classic Wisconsin cheese curds, lightly breaded and served with your choice of house-made marinara or our signature ranch dipping sauce The cheese curds were a bit disappointing as they were cold. I also wish the cheese was stretchy just like the pizza is. Half the Special (sausage, mushrooms, green peppers & onions)/Half Cheese If I could describe the pizza in one word, I would say CHEESE. I'm a cheese lover, but even I thought I had reached my cheese quota that day. The pizza is definitely cheese heavy, so I don't recommend Giordano if you don't like cheese. However, the cheese, sauce, ingredients were all still very delicious. Tiramisu Light sponge cake layered with creamy mascarpone and coffee liqueur dusted with cocoa powder The tiramisu was okay. It wasn't the best I've had, but definitely not the worst. Overall, I'm glad I got to try deep dish pizza at Giordano's! The server was also really sweet since she knew we were from out of town. read more

Pizza was tasty, but not cut all the way. Ever try and eat a dish pizza that isn't cut all the way through? It's like eating a sandwich that isn't cut all the way through. Unless you're taking this pizza home where you have knives appropriate for cutting pizza, get ready for a big irritating mess. read more

This was a great experience. The food was served hot and the staff was very friendly. We ordered a meat lover deep dish and a veggie thin pizza. Both were yummy. There was a wait however the staff was very efficient. Parking. This is important because of your visiting you might not know that they have an overflow parking lot behind the restaurant. read more
