Although Giordano's is a chain restaurant in the Chicago area that serves up "Chicago-style" deep-dish pizza, I was excited to try it on my trip to Chicago. I'm not a pizza snob: if it tastes good, I'll eat it. I ordered the "create your own lunch special," where you have your choice of one main course and then a pick of four different sides. I got the individual 6" stuffed deep-dish pepperoni pizza and the garlic parmesan fries. It was the perfect size for lunch! The pizza was bursting with flavor and the cheese was perfectly melted. The garlic parmesan fries were crispy and covered with seasoning. I really enjoyed it, so check out Giordano's if you need a quick lunch that's guaranteed to fill you up. read more

Tried another famous deep dish Chicago style pizza on this trip. Overall i got a more savory pie feel than a pizza. Also tried their thin crust which is slightly thicker than a hand tossed. Pretty good. Thick cheese. read more

I've only been here once, but man what an awesome experience. If you get a chance to eat here you have to do it. Some people talk trash on this style of pizza as if any other style is mutually exclusive. Don't listen to them. Normally I would say try the cheese first, but it's actually better with more ingredients. I like the supreme style personally, but pepperoni and sausage is a good choice. Prepare to wait 40+ minutes because it takes a bit to bake. They have specialty beers here as well if that's your thing. One last thing...prepare yourself for a nap after eating this because it isn't a light meal. read more

Our first deep dish of the trip and we patiently waited the 45 minutes for our Chicago classic. It was pretty good, lots of fillings of cheese, veggies, and sausage. The crust was nice and flaky but crunchy at the same time. My friend liked this the best out of our trip, and if you buy 2 frozen pizzas, they throw in a insulated bag! The restaurant wasn't packed, but the service was good where she kept refilling our sodas without asking! read more

Nice restaurant. Plenty of TVs. Nice bar area. Above average customer service. Surplus of searing and this place still gets packed out. Go very early or late. The deep dish itself was ok at best. I have had better deep dish pizzas although I thought the Caesar salad was decent. Would definitely check it out again unless I try a rival place to have another deep dish. Check it out for yourself. Grade: B read more

Kynzie was amazing! Came in a hour before close and was so nice and lively. Not to mention how amazing the food was. 1000/10 would recommend to everyone. Louise from management (hope I spelt it right) was also amazing, all around a great place. read more

My pizza tasted amazing, it was well cooked and crispy. The Host was very welcoming when I came in. She greeted me with a big smile and was able to seat me immediately. Her name is Xiomara she went above and beyond as a host! I look forward to coming to this location a lot! read more

We had a sausage, pepperoni and spinsch stuffed pizza. It was very good but something was off a bit. We thought it was the spinach. Maybe too much so it didn't cook thoroughly. Service was very good. Although I'm used to servers identifying themselves so as to get their attention you don't have to say "Hey, you!" Atmosphere...nice and clean. Monitors on the walls, comfy furniture right temperature. Nicely done up. Definitely worth snother try. read more

Awesome Chicago style Pizza. Truly a must eat if you visit Chicago. So good and taste great!!!!

Food is ok, we got one deep dish and one thin crust. I definitely preferred the thin crust but thats just personal preference. The service however was not great, they told us we had to wait for 45 minutes for the pizza and it ended up being over and hour while other tables that came in after us got their food before us. read more

Giordano's - thin crust Alfredo and chicken - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I put an order in online, and got my ETA, paid online and went on about my business. I showed up around the time they said it was going to be done and when i requested pick up for. Mind you, i am from out of town and had a train to catch to get home to MI. When i arrived to the restaurant and talked to the woman at the counter she told me that my order had not yet been started, so i ask how long it would take to expedite it, and she said 30-45 minutes. I was on a pretty tight schedule so i asked her to just refund my money. She explained that because it was an online order she couldn't do that and had to get a manager. As soon as the manager came out we confirmed my name and that my order was actually completed and i was good to go. I made it to my train, pizza in the heat saving bag, and enjoyed it once i got home. It was just quite the headache getting it. read more

Oh Chicago, oh Chicago! I have had a many of pizzas from many a places in our beautiful land of ours. I could not wait to try out the real deal Chicago deep dish pizza. Coming here to Giordanos I was ready for an experience some would call spiritual. My oh my was I right! Having to order about 30 minutes before we sat down was pretty clutch! By the time we sat down, we only had to wait about 20 more minutes for our pizza to come. Thankfully we had some cheese curds to keep us waiting. Which by the way were phenomenal. Once that pizza came out and that cheese pull was made, I had entered the halls of heaven. I have seen the light and could not stop going towards it. I ate 4 slices of that delicious pizza... soo much cheese.... oh soo much and it was everything that I could ever want. My God was it delicious. Soo good, that I almost paid for my next summer vacation on the spot to come back. Please, if you are in the Chicago area, you have to try it for deep dish. It's a must. read more

Ordered takeout from here and got the deep dish (half and half). On one half I got toppings that make up the "Special" deep dish and on the other half I got an assortment of vegetables. I would say it was very solid deep dish, but compared to deep dish I've had at other well known Chicago deep dish restaurants it was not my favorite. The crust is thick which I enjoyed, but not as crispy as I like on the bottom (maybe this had to do with it being takeout?) and the crust was also not super tasty. I did enjoy how some of the toppings were underneath the cheese and sauce though! I also ordered the cheesy garlic bread which was fine, just a little unremarkable. I would say Giordanos is a solid place to get deep dish pizza, but I have liked it at other places a bit more! read more

Giordano's - Deep dish half and half (sausage, peppers, onions and banana peppers, mushrooms, artichokes) - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Having tried the other popular deep dish spots, I'm afraid I like Giordano's the least because of their drier and more boring crust: not buttery or crispy (Lou Malnati's and Pequod's) and no cornmeal (Gino's). Don't get me wrong, it's still SOLID deep dish for a great price. The fillings and cheese-to-vegetable-to-meat ratios are similar to its competitors. The service is great, and there's ample indoor dining space. But the crust.. it was just lacking - both fresh out of the oven and as reheated leftovers. read more

Had to come here after watching the videos online. Came in for a business trip and I do not regret making the trek fron the hotel to eat here. We had the Chicago deep dish and it was out of this world!! Started with the bruschetta which was the best I've ever had! And the wedge salad was superb!! Our waitress was amazing, and very accommodating! I'll be back again our next trip! read more

Came after the Cubs game... Worst decision we could've made. We were quoted 20-30 minutes. We waited..and waited and waited. 1.5 hours later, and looking at 15 tables open but not clean I went up to the Hostess stand and asked her what the hell was goin on. Long story short, they're completely understaffed and untrained. So under staffed that a nice family helped the staff clean up the dirty tables... I ordered our pizza half way into our long wait. Luckily, we got it 10 minutes after sitting down. We also ordered a salad... the salad came 3 minutes before the pizza arrived to our table... our pizza was cold. We received our salad, but no silverware. We picked up our own unused silverware roll ups from the empty dirty tables nearby. Pizza tasted decent even at room temp. Where's the owner/management of this location?...Why aren't you here washing plates, cleaning tables and helping out... you suck! Attached are pics of dirty tables and guest picking up tables , including a child cleaning tables. (What a Liability) read more

We were there on Saturday night for a 90th birthday party. We had made reservations and were a party of 15. It was a huge success! I had a special cake delivered which was perfectly handled. The manager Luis could not have been nicer! Everyone knew we were coming and knew we were celebrating a special birthday. I didn't get the server's name but she was on her toes the whole evening, making sure our orders were served, drinks refreshed, additional wine and beer requests handled and take home well packaged and bagged. The server and bus personnel worked perfectly as a team. The food was delicious and extra plentiful. We had salads, pastas and pizzas. Pastas and pizzas arrived at the table hot and super tasty. What was especially lovely is that we were not rushed out of the restaurant so everyone could table hop and visit. And I loved that the server asked how we wanted the cake presented. She brought it out, candles lit and made sure that we got the "happy birthday" song started while she approached the table. My brother-in-law was very touched. As we were leaving Luis made sure to acknowledge my brother-in-law and sister and thank them. All in all just a great and memorable evening and made more special by the staff. read more

I have usually had good experiences at other Giordano's but we just ordered delivery from here and our food was so bad I felt I had to leave this review. I ordered a small veggie pizza and said no olives. I opened my pizza box to see a pizza that instead had extra olives. I ate a slice of the thin crust and couldn't eat another - it tastes closer to a Lunchables pizza on a cracker than it does an actual pizza worth $20. I feel it sitting in my stomach now, taunting me. The garlic bread was burnt so badly that it hurt to bite into. Fettuccine Alfredo was Olive Garden quality for double the price. Oof. I would stay away from this location if I were you, or better yet, just go to Lou's. read more

I'm in Chicago, so definitely had to go to Giordano's! The pizza came piping hot. The pizza was humongous. The pizza was full of toppings. They are very generous that I could barely eat 2 slices before getting full. The crust was hearty and enclosed all the toppings well. Deep dish takes awhile to cook, so be patient and it'll be worth it. read more

Oh my goodness! I saved this visit for last and I'm glad that I did! I skipped the appetizers and went straight to the pizza. Keep in mind that it'll take 45 minutes to cook a deep dish stuffed pizza here, no matter the size. I had a lovely waitress, Skye, waiting on me and she couldn't have been more attentive. I ordered the deep dish small stuffed pizza which comes with 6 slices and can feed 2-3 people. All I could fit in my belly was 3 slices, so I gave the remaining 3 slices to a homeless man who had wandered in. The pizza was HOT, and the cheese was melted throughout the pizza. I had the Chicago Classic which had pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers, and onions. Not being a fan of the last 3 items typically on my pizza, this pizza was FANTASTIC! I can't wait till I can make my way back to Chicago to go to Giordano's! read more

We popped into Giordano's to get our Chicago deep dish fix. It was a weird time of day (like 3:30 or 4p) so the place was pretty quiet. They sat us in a booth by the window and the waiter came right out. First issue I had is we ordered a pitcher and they needed to change the keg - that is fine, but the waiter just brought us out two pints and then a pitcher - which of course he charged us for. I would have preferred him to come out and tell us they keg change would take awhile and let us choose if we wanted another beer or to wait. In the end we had way more beer than we ordered or needed. The other issue I had was that since deep dish takes SO long to cook the waiter goes MIA for a better part of an hour and forever after he served us. So low marks on service. The pizza however was so yummy! Tons of cheese, crispy butter crust and tons of flavor. It was terrific, as was the cheesy bread we had to start. For the most part it was a good experience, but service needs tweaks. read more

0/10 NEVER order online. Their system breaks or drops the order or it does not honor the time of delivery. As a web developer, this system is the most frustrating experience I've ever had to deal with while also taking exceptionally long to enter In your card and personal information for a simple order. After a few hours of waiting and calling to double check the order, I was informed that they did not have the order. However, this deceptively smooth online system will charge your credit card without fail. So if you like playing for pizza and not eating it this is the place for you. If you want a place that honors the orders you place, check out Pete's Pizza off of Western Ave; fast, easy, and dependable. read more

I was craving American- style pizza, and so we decided on the thin crust classic and a salad. Pizza was as good as I remembered it to be. Classic thin crust (Pepperoni, green pepper, onion, tomato): 4 Greek salad: 4 (simple salad, but lemon vinaigrette dressing was good) read more

Got here on a Monday night, so there was only one server - we had to wait about 30 minutes for a table, which was fine, since our pizza was ready by the time we got seated. We got a medium mushroom & pep deep dish, and had leftover slices between two people. Best deep dish in the city! And it's all fillings, instead of OTHER places where you get 1/4 inch of water on top... read more

Delicious deep dish pizza with so many toppings! I wish you could make reservations on game days though or at least put your name down on a list even if you are expecting a couple people shortly. This place is a Chicago must eat! The deep dish will fill you up too so you dont need too much. I especially love their spinach deep dish. They also have great weekday lunch specials with a main dish and side. We also tried their caprese and calamari ...both amazing. The caprese was stacked with so many marinated tomatoes. read more

Luis and the Ladies were fabulous on Saturday! The Supreme Veggie pizza was the best!

You should come here expecting a long wait time. Of about 45 minutes to even an hour depending on how busy they are. The pizza is pretty good, albeit costly. They will stuff you up after 1-2 slices. One thing I suggest is that this location only has one bathroom stall in the men's bathroom. For a place that serves a main dish that will surely get every man's stomach rumbling upon completion of meal, having only one toilet is not the smartest idea. Trust me! read more

Delicious Margherita Pizza and Mozzarella Sticks. The Marinara Sauce is so good!!! Staff friendly and very efficient.

Grabbed a pie, had leftovers for the plane. Did half classic and half of the special. Both phenomenal!

Only tried the deep dish from Lou Malnatis and Girodanos on Belmont Ave. Have to say that I favored Giordanos as the sauce was less sweet and the cheese was as flavorful. Took a while for the pizza to come out but it was delicious and fresh once delivered to the table. Excellent service too from our young male waiter. An excellent stuffed deep dish pizza....this coming from the guy who loves his NY pizza. read more
