Calabrian Sweet & Spicy Chicken Sausage Pizza
Emily M.

This is a solid spot for deep dish pizza! I went for the first time last week with my brother, who was visiting from out of town. He wanted to get deep dish during his time in Chicago and had wanted to try Giordano's. We both enjoyed our meal. I was not aware of how large Giordano's menu was! The options are nice in case you aren't in the mood for deep dish - you'll definitely find something else to enjoy! We split multiple appetizers and each got our own personal deep dish. It was a delicious meal! Our server was attentive, as well. I am very happy I tried a spot that I haven't gone to before in the neighborhood.

Very disappointed in the food. Not sure why this chain is so hype up. I feel fast food pizza chain is way better. All the food were underwhelming and taste like cafeteria food. Would not recommend.

We celebrated our 30th birthday here! Taylor our server was amazing and made it a birthday to remember (a birthday card, drink and icecream). My favorite Taylor was Taylor swift but the Taylor at Giordanos on Belmont is now my favorite!!!! We LOVE Taylor at Giordanos. Thank you Taylor

Stopped in to try deep dish pizza. Told it would take 45 minutes to bake so we got the sampler appetizer. We got the Chicago classic pizza. Loved the freshness of the vegetables in it. We were able to walk in and be seated right away. Restaurant had a decent amount of seating. Our server was nice just wish she came by a little more throughout our meal to offer us refills or another drink.

We wanted a deep dish pizza. We spent the last seven years in California and I know California is not known for deep dish pizza, but Zachary's was pretty freakin' extraordinary. I am confident there are better options, but Giordano's was within walking distance from the hotel, so that's where we went. The Caesar Salad was tasty and fresh. For the pizza, we ordered a Make-Your-Own. In an attempt to recreate the pizza we love at Zachary's, we ordered a deep dish pizza with spinach and mushrooms. It looked beautiful. It tasted okay, but the overwhelming flavor was of the cheese. The pizza was very cheese heavy. You'd think a pizza with lots of cheese would be the bees knees. The problem was the chunky tomato topping, a very important part of a deep dish pizza, had very little flavor. It was disappointing. Convenient? Yes. Delicious? Not delicious enough.

Calamari and Lemon Rings

I couldn't pass up trying out a local chain with famous deep dish pizza. The deep dish was cheesy, saucy, and filling, but there was something missing as it did not stand out in its flavor. The taste reminded me more of a standard pizza from other chains, but in Chicago deep dish form. Still, it was good with plenty leftover. The fried calamari and lemon rings starter was excellent. It paired so well with the marinara sauce, it's recommended. Good service. Expect about 45 minutes for the deep dish pizza to be ready. It's better to come after major plans due to the wait. Overall, it's a fair place and worth a try if visiting.

Mmmm

I'm in town visiting an old friend . He lives right around the corner. We arrived late evening, so he got this to go and kept it warm in his oven. I'm a visitor, not a tourist. I hear they call this the tourist pizza. It was delicious and exactly as I remember it from several years ago. Best served with a friend and a cold beer!

Not bad, but doesn't stand out. Yes, I know I'm reviewing a chain - so to some extent it's not going to be anything out of this world. Giordano's gets the job done - no more, no less. It's definitely a good amount of food for your money, no one will argue that. But it doesn't leave you with that "wow" factor. It's just a deep dish pizza, with lots of sauce and cheese. With that said, I haven't tried the thin crust here and have heard that it's solid. So I'll probably return. If you need to choose a deep dish spot in Chicago and want something with some personality, hit up Lou's instead.

Dip Dish Chicago style pizza

First time visiting Chicago and its famous Dip Dish pizza. The Lakeview location is super cool, the restaurant very clean, the manager Luis super friendly, and he would come over to ask if everything was okay, including refills on our drinks.

The best stuffed pie in Chicago! Be sure to call ahead your order for the pie to avoid waiting the 45 minute cooking time.

The Italian beef + giardiniera half was good too, more savory and heavier, but the meat had more of a pulled texture than actual than expected. 7.5/10. The seafood skillet didn't really land for me. It had too much wine flavor and the breadcrumbs got soggy fast. 4/10. Overall, come here for the pizza only. That's what makes this spot worth fighting for reservations.

The onion rings, though, were absolutely fantastic. Service was top notch, and we were so well taken care of. I honestly can't imagine how they handled so many customers that night--kudos to the team. And the bathrooms were super clean, which I always appreciate. I'd definitely go back for a pint and to watch the game.

Food reviews: Truffle and mushroom tavern--light and well balanced. Delicate sweet notes from the red onion balance out the earthiness of the mushroom, truffle and charred crust. Cheese doesn't overwhelm the pie and compliments all ingredients with a salty bite Spicy vodka and sausage--so different than the first pie but equally as delicious! Vodka sauce has a deep flavor with only subtle heat. Sausage packs a ton of flavor. Heavier of the two pies since it had more cheese on it but my husband enjoyed Chocolate peanut butter sundae--birthday celebration treat brought by our server! Wow it's a must order. The puppy chow was an insanely smart ingredient to add for texture and bit of chocolate. Can't wait to return to try another specialty pie!
