Very disconcerting that they have on their actual menu that wings are gluten free but when I asked/tried to order I was told that they were actually breaded. Now I am very nervous to eat any of their food marked gluten free. I can't believe they have something marked gluten free that isn't at all in 2019. Honestly I am at a loss for words. And what's worse is that management didn't apologize or seem to care. All I was told is that it's been brought up to management. That tells me that literally from the top down no one cares. Don't say you have gluten free options if you don't. Don't put a gluten free sign on a dish that isn't actually gluten free. Simple. I wouldn't have come here, I wouldn't have ordered the dish. I do appreciate that the manager took care of us when our food didn't come right away. He didn't have to do that and it was really nice. read more

We have tried location on multiple occasions. 1st time took 2.5 hours to delivery. Called and spoke to Joe and he told me they forgot to put the order in. Sent order out at no charge. 2nd time we ate in pizza was good service was bad. Havn't been back to dine in. Staff unpleasant and seemed rushed. 3rd time ordered pizza delivered within hour. Great, pizza was over peppered and had to much spinach that watered down crust. Spoke with Jessica and she credited my account. Very thoughtful All and all I love giordano pizza. Cleary my local giordano pizzeria is having some growing pains. I hope they get it together for the neighborhood sake. read more

Finding a tasty deep dish pizza for a vegetarian is a hurdle. Out of all the pizzerias Giodarnos delivers on being amongst the top of the list (relatively speaking). People on the West coast rave about this place and actually get it delivered by air! I would suggest dining in when it comes to Deep dishes in general. If you choose regular delivery it might get soggy because of all the ingredients (note: it's delivered frozen to out of staters). The waiters at one of my visits was exceptional and suggested his own concoction for a pop when ginger ale was not available! Going above and beyond for your diners is what makes certain establishments more enjoyable! The House garlic bread was good. It was the appropriate thickness and had just the right amount of cheese. The garlic fries were also good but making the dipping sauce a bit more thicker would be ideal. The pizza was good. Looking forward to trying the regular crust one of these days! The regular cheese pizza was okay, but too salty for me. read more

SOOOOOOOOO good! This is, of course, a must stop while in Chicago. Their stuffed deep dish pizza puts standard pizza to shame. I'm not into the rivalry with other chicago deep dish pizza joints, but all I know is this one is good. When we walked in, the line was long and there was a wait as we were expecting. It turned out that our wait was not very long though, which was good. One thing I do like is they allow you to go ahead and place your pizza order while you are waiting to be seated, as these pizzas take around 45 minutes to make. After being seated we were greeted immediately and our drink orders were taken. The waitress was extremely friendly and had a great personality. It wasn't a huge restaurant, but was still very nice. We ended up ordering the equivalent of what would be a meat lovers pizza and also a bbq chicken pizza. Both were good, especially the meat lovers. Cheesy greatness. These pizzas may be considered a bit pricey for some, but they were worth the price in my opinion. Will definitely be going back EVERY time I am in Chi-town. read more

Best place for deep dish. Manager has an amazing soul and was so nice the whole time! Great staff and the best food I've ever had. Come here it is amazing. read more

We were served by Mack and the manager, Oscar came to our table and introduced himself. They were very nice. The food was ok that day but we've eaten here before when it was better so that is why we always come back. Good spot to watch the game or do a cool pizza date. read more

Deep dish! My first time in Chicago, so I had to save some room for this infamous pizza. After a few hours walking around Shedd and Field, my cravings started to kick in for real. Waiting over 40 minutes for food can be a pain, so I suggest to get a house salad for an appetizer. Deep dish was made perfectly with the right amount of cheese and sauce. I look forward to coming back. read more

Great place to visit for out of towners like me. You need to come with friends as the stuffed deep dish pizza is very filling. Crust is crispy and deliciously served hot. The sides are also interesting like the calamari which also has breaded and deep fried lemon, peppers and string beans. Wings are also another good appetizer and all are of course shareable. The staff is friendly and attentive and you are seated quickly. Huge coffee mugs and tasty sweets such as tiramisu. Another great dish to share but a little small. Bring your appetite as there is a lot to eat. read more

I have no idea why people have not written so many reviews for this place. It was a regular place for my pizza hunt in the city even compared to Gino's. The pizza is so yummylicious. This is definitely a place to be when you are in Chicago. The place itself is located in the heart of Chicago downtown. Weather being very cold most of the time in Chicago, we loved to go to this place for some hot pizza. They have a pretty good classic caesar salad that made with fresh lettuce. Garlic bread and Bruschetta are real good as well for the starters. Being a vegetarian, I always loved the stuffed super veggie pizza. This was my first ever stuffed pizza I had when I came to US and I am big fan of it. The ambience is really good inside and waiters are also very helpful. The setup is really neat and welcoming and the restaurant looks very traditional pizza place. The only part that you may dislike is the wait time as this place is crowded. However, there is a good part to it. You can order the pizza while you wait to get the table so that you will save some time for your pizza to arrive. The fact is that it surely takes about 30 mins for your pizza to come out. So you better order it while you wait to get your table. This is a MUST visit place when you are in Chicago city. read more

This was great pizza. It is so much food though so my stomach could only handle one slice. I ordered the Chicago classic and it was great. The stuffed pizza was jam packed with mushrooms, pepperoni and onions/green peppers. I like the sauce on the pizza too. It was loaded with tomatoes and I can really appreciate the powerful tomato top layer on my pizza. I also loved the waiter and I enjoyed the setting. It's perfect for a family. Plenty of big screens all around the restaurant make this a great place to socialize too. read more

One of the deep dish staples of Chicago! Cheesier than the other options and very satisfying if you want a greasy and filling pizza. The pizza takes 45 minutes to cook since it's made fresh so make sure to enjoy an appetizer while you wait!! read more

Omg this pizza was great. Takes a while but worth it. I'd heard of Chicago deep dish pizza & it was delish. Went to another place later that was NOWHERE NEAR as good as Giordanos. This is the place to go! read more

I went here for a late dinner with a friend on a weekday and the restaurant wasn't busy, aside from a few tables, and we were seated quickly. We ordered the Chicago Classic deep dish pizza. I knew the wait time (about 45 minutes) would take awhile so I did not mind waiting to eat. The pizza came out really delicious and it was everything I expected it to be. The reason I gave this location three stars was because of poor service. As I mentioned, the floor was not busy at all, but our waitress failed to re-fill any beverages, check in with us, and finally, we finally had to flag her down for our check and a box for our leftovers. Normally I don't mind a little wait, but we waited for at least fifteen minutes for our waitress to just come by so we could get her attention. Overall, great pizza, but really poor service. read more

Average. Had to send the pie back because it wasn't hot and the crust wasn't fully cooked. Uno pizza is much better.

I'm from LA and this was my first time having a deep dish pizza. Wow!! It by far exceeded my expectations. We decided we want pizza at 11 and unfortunately a lot of the Giordano's close earlier. So we were lucky that this place was open till 12pm. We pre-ordered it on the phone because we were told it takes 30 to 45 mins to make. When we got there the host and waiters were VERY friendly even though it was 11:45pm by then and it was about time that they close for the night. We had ordered a large for two people because we were "starving". We had one slice each. It was sooo amazing but also very heavy and there was no way we could go for seconds. For cheese and bread lovers (which is everyone) this is the thing for you to have! I'm craving it again just thinking about it ....lucky for us all, they do deliver to anywhere in the States! They halfbake it, package it and deliver it right to your door. All you have to do is bake it and then serve! There is no resisting it....I'll definitely be ordering it. read more

I was excited to FINALLY try Chicago style pizza and someone mentioned Giordanos. I read the reviews and there was nothing but rave reviews. Do not get this pizza. This is the worst pizza I've ever had in my entire life!! The crust was a cardboard consistency, the cheese was rubbery, the sauce was sugary sweet and the toppings tasted old. I worked all day and all I wanted was a decent slice. Papa Johns would have better. read more

My husband and I had a delicious lunch here on our first day in Chicago. I'm a huge fan of barbecue chicken pizza and their deep dish version was incredible! We ordered a small and had plenty left over for later. The service was great - we sat at the bar. We enjoyed our experience and the food! read more

Giordano's - Barbecue chicken deep dish pizza - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We have the sampler platter for an appetizers which gives you cheese squares, bruschetta, cheesy garlic bread and boneless chicken bites. I liked it all but Husband didn't like the garlic cheesy bread. Had no flavor. Deep dish pizza was fantastic as always! The service was great! waitress was attentive and friendly. Reason for the 3 stars was having to swat away at the fruit flies while we ate. read more

Visiting from California, we asked the cab driver where to get pizza. He recommended Giordano's and we had it delivered to the hotel. Best pizza I think I have ever had. Huge deep dish. Veggie pizza. When we opened the box, I only saw artichokes and olives and onions and sauce. We cut into it, it was stuffed with broccoli, spinach, bell peppers, garlic, you name it. Definitely feel like we had some real Chicago pizza! So yummy! read more

I've avoided the Giordano's chain in Chicago since their bankruptcy a few years ago. The restaurants had declined in quality and service, and with so much to choose from . . . We decided to give the new location in our neighborhood a try over the weekend. The owners did a spectacular job building this new restaurant in an older historic building on South Michigan Avenue. Sadly, they've apparently forgotten the food. Who ever heard of an Italian restaurant running out of meatballs? Well that's what they told us when we tried to order, and this caused two in my party to quickly scramble to find something else. Instead of the four-cheese ravioli, I picked the veal parmigiana. This turned out to be a mistake. The veal was pedestrian, and it was plopped on a bowl of lukewarm spaghetti. No "real" parmesan cheese was available and I was stuck with grocery store ground cheese. Others in the party were equally dissatisfied with their meals. The sauce had all the makings of quality dishes, but they failed to deliver. Asked for a manager when we were leaving but were told none was available. Meh. read more

Giordano's is A-OK in my book. This was my first Chicago deep dish experience, and I'm not quite sure what I was expecting. None of the flavors really struck me as being different or totally awesome. It's just that the pizza was thick and cheezy--hey, I'm not complaining! I'd go to Giordano's again, but it wouldn't be my first choice. Gotta try some other versions of Chicago pie before I can judge. Also, if you're going be prepared to wait for 45 mins for your pizza. I recommend the garlic bread and a salad to tide you over! But be prepared, because a small is big enough for 3 really hungry people. read more

Great "pizza." 4-stars cause dis ain't pizza. But it's still good af. Best part of this location is Ryan L. the bartender. Super awesome dude. read more

Updated review: Business owner reached out to me after my review. Stars go up for caring about customers opinions...Will give this place another chance because of this! Original review: Delivery is soooooooooooo slow. Been waiting 1.5 hrs for our pizza on a weeknight! I can't imagine how long it would take on a weekend. And we only live two blocks away. Should have just picked it up. Disappointed. No matter how good the pizza tastes, the wait time is unacceptable. Order from papa johns or paulys pizza in south loop to satisfy your pizza cravings in a jiffy. read more

Maybe I'm an out-of-town sucker, but I thought this place was legit. We didn't have that long of a wait last Friday night...it was about 45 minutes during prime dinner time. We started with the calamari and the fried mozzarella. The calamari was solid and the mozzarella had really good flavor. Just thought it could have been served a little warmer - feel like the cheese hardened up kinda quickly. We ordered the deep dish supreme pizza. Good amount of toppings. Good amount of cheese. Good amount of sauce. Just really great overall. I would definitely come back. Unfortunately, I don't make it to Chicago that often and I might want to give other places a shot next time...but this place is at least worth trying out. read more

Very friendly staff, great service. Being from out of town, we were unaware that the stuffed pizza takes about 40 minutes to bake so we opted for the lunch special, which is a personal pan stuffed pizza that comes with a salad. We all ordered the sausage stuffed pizza and it was delicious , the house salad as well as the Cesar ate definitely recommended. read more

My daughter and I had dinner at Giordano's of South Loop at 1340 S. Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL, on June 26, 2023. We were visiting from Northern Virginia; we have cousins in Skokie. This was our first time in Chicago. On our list of things to do was to try deep dish pizza. We had been at the Shedd Aquarium, and the parking garage we used was across the street from this Giordano's. We decided to have dinner before heading back to Skokie, the best decision we made. Rafel M. was our server. He was amazing. He was serving tables while also tending the bar, he was more than getting his steps in! He made my daughter and I feel welcome and treated us with such kindness. The food was wonderful, our first deep dish pizza. Also, the host who sat us at our table that night was very kind, unfortunately I don't know his name. Our dinner at Giordano's was a positive memory of our visit to Chicago. We truly appreciated the friendly and kind treatment we received from the entire staff. We shared our great experience with our cousins, we spoke very highly of this Giordano's. I know this pizzeria is a chain, but this restaurant made it feel like they were a family-owned establishment and that the customers mattered. The atmosphere was fun, a sports bar environment. Again, thank you to Rafel, you put a smile on mine and my daughter's faces that night. read more

Our server, Trey was wonderful and attentive, even though I wasn't with the easiest of dinner parties. He made sure we had enough food and drinks and checked in on us often. The chicken tender appetizer was delicious, with fresh and moist chicken with a nice batter. The Caesar salad was smothered in dressing and I could barely finish the appetizer size because of that. The Fettuccini Alfredo was sub-par in my opinion, It was too thin and needed salt. The pizza, which is the main draw is exactly what most deep dish lovers want. The meat is yummy, the crust is perfectly crisp, and not soggy, the tomato sauce on top is well seasoned. My only gripe is what most people will love...it is dripping in cheese. The cheese is great, as far as cheeses go. I'm just not a cheese person, so I don't eat more than a bite or two of pizza. This location has been pretty popular since opening, and I can see why. If you want Chicago deep dish pizza, this is one of the places that does a good job keeping true to the old school way of making a good pie! read more

Almost a standard of deep dish in Chicago. Decent service and clean place. If they are busy it will take a while to get your pizza. Appetizers can help get around this long wait. read more

This is my first time in Chicago and my friends just took me to this place... wow it was the best pizza that I have ever tried in my entire life!!! Soft, delicious, tasty... the pizza does not have the ingredients you want on the top... is actually filled with them. I had the one with canadian bacon and pineaple... really yummy! The price is good and reasonable, the size is huge. The only thing is that they took forever to serve because is like a home made food... absolutely awesome flavor!!! You should not leave the city without trying this pizza first!!! read more

I'm not sure why there are so many poor reviews about this place. We loved it! No wait at all, good beer list. The waitress told us that the deep dish pizzas took a little while to cook so we ordered an appetizer and watched the football game until it was ready. The staff was friendly and attentive. We will be back to visit every time we're in Chicago! read more

What's not to say about this place. Best Chicago deep dish in the city. This place is always busy and for good reason. Wait staff was great & super nice. Plenty of TVs to watch the games. Atmosphere is a thumbs up. I will definitely stop here again when I'm in town. read more

We may have been a "one-off" situation, but our experience was terrible. The waitress absolutely dropped the ball in terms of letting us know that our pizza was way behind in getting cooked. We sat for over an hour(1hr15min) before we spoke with the manager about this. The manager did a good job in easing hungry tensions and made up for the waitress' shortcoming. The pizza was average at best. We got the Chicago Style deep dish. Nothing to write home about, but put something in our stomachs for the time being. I would not recommend this pizza, especially for the price they charge. read more

We ordered this pizza to go. Be warned that you'll need at least 45 minutes for them to make it. It's worth every minute! We ordered the special which came with sausage, peppers, onions, and mushrooms. The cheese was so stringy as you pulled each piece and the crust was great. read more

Service was great! Was in town and heard this is the place for deep dish. Tried the veggie which was really good. Not a huge fan of deep dish but everything we had was good. Started out with the bruschetta and a Greek salad. The garlic fries and then ordered 2 deep dish. Bbq chicken was good but loved the veggie better. Its a lot of food so come hungry! read more

Hands down...THE best pizza in Chi-Town. Huge pizza, amazing flavor, and excellent service!!

Service was alright. The girl at the front ordering section got our orders wrong trying to rush but there was actually no one after us. Besides that, the pizza tasted good. We had the chicago classic stuffed deep dish, which has pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, and green peppers. It had a lot of cheese so it was great :) read more
