Individual 6" Pepperoni Deep Dish Pizza
Amber Z.

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.

This is small pizza perfect for a couple

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.

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.

First time in Chicago and we wanted to try deep dish pizza. Not really fans of this type of pizza but the environment was cool and service was quick before our flight. The location was nice for a bite to eat before the airport.

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.

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!

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.
