Giordano's - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

it was ok bad vibes from waitress !! she also dropped pizza on floor almost spilling on my shoes !

I went to Giordano's for a chill late-night dinner with a group of friends. Note that, signs indicate to only enter this location from the curbside, as the pretty patio-side in the plaza area is not an entry. So, from the curbside entry, there is a waiting room with benches on the left and right side, and a greeting desk ahead in the center. When called, we ascended on the far left and entered the dining area. It was quite busy. We were shown a table and took our seats. We chose a classic deep dish pie and a gluten free pizza - all to share. We also ordered an Italian salad to share. Highly recommend the Italian salad. It is a chopped salad and highly flavorful and fresh. This is the first item delivered to our table. They offer a thin 12 inch GF crust, and we always try GF when available. The menu indicated that several sauces are GF. I can happily report that the pizza was quite enjoyable. The toppings were fresh and generous. The edges were crisp but the rest was soft while also not getting too mushy. The deep dish was the final food arrival at our table. The menu and waitstaff are clear about it taking around 40 minutes for the deep dish to cook. The wait was totally worth it. Also note, the 10 inch may sound small, but it's unlikely that many people would want to eat more than two slices of this at a sitting - the slices are like two inches thick! Because we had already shared salad and GF pizza - we had a lot of leftovers. Totally worth it. Now, the one hitch here - the womens restroom was beyond atrocious. I mean, diapers, pads, paper, and debris piled up and overflowing from every tiny trash bin in every stall - Add to that non- flushed messes and more mess on the fixtures and floors - And an empty paper towel dispenser. Frankly, they need a big trash barrel in there- the volume of diapers alone was too large for the available recepticals. Clearly, many menstruating folks are trying to dispose of used products, and if the teeny tiny stall mounted trash pockets are stuffed with diapers and other used items... Well. Reader, you likely see where the his is going... I cannot even fathom the reason for the rest of the mess. So, restroom hard no. Generally - if you have a business that encounters a large number of stroller folks- expect related mess and account for it. Especially in busy Chicago where strollers are obnoxiously present everywhere - just read the room! read more

We went to Giordano's in Chicago and ordered the deep dish pizza. We were really excited to try an iconic Chicago spot, but the experience was pretty disappointing. It took about 45 minutes for the pizza to come out, which we expected given deep dish, but when it finally arrived it wasn't even warm. The whole thing felt like it had been sitting out or didn't finish cooking evenly. The bruschetta was fine but nothing special. Service was fine and the restaurant itself has a nice casual, tourist-friendly vibe, but the food just didn't live up to the reputation for us this time. Maybe it was an off day, but for something that's supposed to be a Chicago staple, it missed the mark. Not sure I'd go back, especially with so many other pizza options in the city. read more

It's the Chicago experience so we went for a try. However, the pizza and the overall experience isn't something I plan on again. I will say it's an efficient operation. The staff all have a specific role to play to get you your food, especially because it takes a long time to make. However, the pizza itself wasn't anything special. We got the 12" deep dish margherita. The sauce, cheese, and seasoning weren't anything great at all. The crust was about the only OK part because it was flaky. There's plenty of seating, both indoor and outdoor. read more

We visited Giordanos on our wedding anniversary in May 2026 on the recommendation of my sister in law. We both shared a 10" deep dish pepperoni pizza because that is part of the Chicago experience. Initial service was fast but it took 45 minutes for the pizza. Getting our check delivered took a long time, too. This pizza was far more expensive than a Baltimore deep dish pizza but I'm assuming the prime location is why this pizza cost so much. Hubby got a soda and the total cost was $39, not including the tip. Pros: tasty deep dish. Cons: expensive and long wait. I think I would find elsewhere to eat if I'm ever back here again. read more

A must do Chicago experience. There was a line down the block so I knew I was in the right place. Pretty efficiently ran though. The pizza takes the lingers to cook so first you queue at the door and order your pizza, you wait to be seated then you can order drinks, apps etc. We ended up sitting at the bar. They have a ton of yummy drinks and friend bar staff. We had the calamari which include fried banana peppers and fried lemon. I'm spoiled and now this will be the only way u eat it. lol. They have a solid Caesar salad. The icing on the top was our deep dish with sausage, peppers onions and an insane amount of cheese surrounded by a buttery crust. You can get a personal one if you are solo. It's a must try! Yum! Check out the cheese pull!!! read more

Came here to try deep dish because it's a Chicago staple. I expected a tourist trap but the overall experience left much to be desired. We started by ordering the wings and a pizza with sausage, peppers and onions. We knew the pizza takes 45 minutes so also ordered the wings and asked for them extra crispy. They took forever to arrive and when they did they were clearly not freshly made. I'm talking the frozen wings from Costco heated up in a microwave. Not only were they not extra crispy they weren't even warm. If my kids weren't starving I would have sent them back they were that bad. And I NEVER send things back. They were also $20 for 10! Unreal. The pizza itself was pretty good so if you're going to come here, stick to that. But our experience was also soured by the terrible service we received. The waitress dropped our wings and we literally never saw her again. We didn't get fresh plates for our pizza after another server brought it to the table so we had to eat it off the plate with the chicken bones. She didn't serve any of the slices to us. She never asked us if the food was ok, we never got a refill on our sodas, never got an extra napkin, nothing. When I say she never came back, she literally never came back. We finally had to flag someone else so we could get our leftovers boxed and the check so we could leave. I have never in my life complained to a manager at a restaurant and didn't today, but I was tempted for the first time ever, the service sucked that bad. I think we just got unlucky on the server front, but overall there are way better places to eat in the city. If you absolutely have to have Giordanos because you're in the city then I guess? But you could skip it and not miss out on much. read more

Giordano's never disappoints. I ordered ahead of time to pick up right when they opened, and the process was very easy. They also gave me plates, napkins, and cutlery, already to go in a bag. It was easy to take it with me to eat while exploring Chicago. The pizza itself was delicious as always. I honestly forgot how good the crust was, because the cheese always steals the show. It's such a savory treat. This location also had plenty of merch and a modern atmosphere touting its famous deep dish pizza. read more

The embodiment of all my pizza dreams live here at Giordanos. A great overall experience! Great service, beautiful restaurant, and delicious food. The house salad was so, so refreshing! Fresh crunchy salad with delicious cheese, locally sourced. The tavern style pizza was my favorite; plenty of toppings, perfect crunch, perfect amount of cheese. I also loved that the pizza was cut into squares; perfect for sharing. We opted to also try the deep dish and took the advice of many YouTubers and got the INDIVIDUAL sized "all the meats". It was a bit salty for my taste but it was good overall. The crust was nice and crispy, lots of cheese for the cheese lover in me. Definitely would be better if I had created a custom pizza with some veggies to balance. Our servers and front desk host were both lovely ab had great vibes. Would definitely be back for the tavern pizza and salad when I come back to Chicago. read more

We walked in and had no wait. My daughter and I were walking around Navy Pier and decided we'd like to split a deep dish pizza. We ordered a personal pan cheese deep dish. Deep dish takes 45 mins. We also ordered the Italian beef stuffed ball appetizer. Our waiter was fantastic. Very efficient with our drinks and letting us know our pizza would out shortly. It was very cute inside and quiet enough to have a conversation. read more

Giordano's - Personal Individual 6" Pepperoni Deep Dish Pizza and salad. - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Stopped by Giordano's as our first meal after landing, and we definitely went all in We loaded this deep dish with so many extra toppings, and wow... this pizza was THICK thick. Like, one slice and you're already questioning your life choices (in a good way lol). The crust was buttery and sturdy, holding everything together, and the sauce on top had that classic rich flavor. Not gonna lie though--no cheese pull moment here but honestly, it didn't even matter because it was still super satisfying. This was meant for two of us and we only managed ONE slice each before tapping out. Ended up giving the rest away because there was just no way we could finish it. If you're hungry (or think you are), this will humble you real quick read more

Got the boneless chicken nuggets as an appetizer first, and they were the most lifeless looking nuggets I have ever seen. The buffalo sauce looked more like food dye than actual sauce. After one bite, the nuggets had to be sent back. Then tried the fettuccine alfredo, which was also terrible. The sauce barely stuck to the noodles and overall it was pretty bad. Expectations were not even high going into this place, just expecting fast food vibes, but honestly starvation would have been better. Proceeded to try the deep dish since that is what they are known for, and once again it was not a hit. I am glad only a personal pie was ordered so it did not feel like a complete waste of food. read more

Giordano's - Super Veggie - Deep Dish - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

When we walked out, there was a line outside with a wait, as expected. The host was standing outside in which we walked to and requested a party for six people. While waiting, it was suggested we walk inside and pre-order our pizzas with the hostess located inside. Surprisingly the weight was not long. The seating area is much larger than what it appears to be from the outside. Our waiter was very helpful and friendly. We ordered their most popular pizzas which included the meat lovers. It was our first time eating a deep dish pizza, and we learned that the crust is not thicker. It is that all of the toppings are located underneath the sauce. I could only eat one slice and only one other person at the table could eat too. We had a lot of leftover pizza. The atmosphere is on the loud side, no outdoor seating was being sad at, and the restaurant was clean. read more

The food was overrated but our server Antoinette made our experience so much better. She was friendly, attentive and respectful. When we walked in we were greeted but once we got to the top of the stairs lol we werent acknowledge until 3rd person came to get us. We didnt expect much but our server she was the best. 5 out of 5 for service We got the appetizer it was a bit undercooked from mozzarella to the chicken nuggets. I did enjoy my cesar salad. We got the deep dish pizza and I give it a 3/5. Yes def cheesy but it lacked flavor. The ambiance was nice. Tips * 45min wait after you order your deep dish. Maybe just wait for that and not fill urself up w appetizer lol read more

First and foremost, the cheese pull was amazing. Ok we were on a layover in Chicago on our way home, and my sister said we had to stop by here. I've never been here and it was also my nieces first time in Chicago. The folks were nice and we were seated immediately. The place had good vibes. A lot of families and friend gatherings happening. The sampler platter was so good. The triangle cheese had the longest cheese pull I've seen. And it was delicious on top of that. And the deep dish was just amazing! read more

Known as a staple (or maybe a tourist attraction) but I definitely feel like there are other, maybe local / independent spots that have better pizza. But as someone not from Chicago, this is the first time I've tried it so take my opinion with a grain of salt. We got the Chicago classic, which had too much cheese for my liking, not enough filling (veggies / pepperoni) or sauce. The crust felt like it was reheated from frozen. That said, we ate the whole thing and were satisfied, but won't crave deep dish for a while now. read more

I'm not sure I understand the hype around this place. We waited about 20 minutes to be seated and another 45 minutes for the deep dish pizza we ordered ,exactly as they said it would take. The pizza tasted good overall, but the crust wasn't my favorite since I prefer a more buttery crust. The interior and atmosphere are cool, and they also have an outdoor section, however it's closed during the winter. If you're planning to visit, I'd recommend setting aside at least two hours because there will be a lot of waiting involved. read more

I visited Chicago for the first time last week and had to try Chicago's deep dish pizza. My brother ate here and recommended it. Apparently, this place serves stuffed deep dish (extra layer of dough), which is different from deep dish. Before researching about it, I didn't even know there was a difference. The place was huge! We came late in the evening so there wasn't a wait at all to be seated. I'm glad because we didn't know that the deep dish would take 40-45 minutes to bake. We had two little boys with us, so they would have been super cranky if we had to wait longer. The hostess didn't give us any crayons or coloring paper. So after finding out about the wait, we asked a waiter if they had any, and I'm so glad they did! That helped keep the boys occupied during the wait. Man, I don't know how ya'll Chicagoans can pay $40 for a pizza. It's so expensive! The pizza was pretty good with good flavor. I don't think you can really mess up pizza, though. I'm not sure what I expected, but I was expecting more. Perhaps, more butter or seasoning on the crust. The texture was different because it was more on the doughy side with lots of ooey gooey cheese, which I didn't mind at all and actually enjoyed. It also sort of felt like eating two pizzas at the same time. The service was good, though. During the 40 minute wait for the pizza, you may feel forgotten since there isn't really a need for the waiter to check on you. However, our waiter was nice and friendly the times he did stop by. He even gave us a heads up when the pizza was almost ready, which was nice. Also, big thank you to the waiter for making my boys' birthday dinner special by giving them small scoops of ice cream. It truly made their night! read more

Me and a group of people are here this weekend for the Pokemon go Fest event. We are from L.A. We decided to come here for dinner. The food was absolutely amazing but the lines are pretty long which was expected because of the event happening. They have a system where if you want to order pizza you have to stand in a line that goes all the way to back to the store, and because it was incredibly hot and humid they had people standing all the way up around like a Disneyland ride. Once we put the order in for pizza they gave us a notification through a text message to let us know when the table was ready. Once the table was ready everything was perfect! great waiter, great food, and even somebody to take pictures of us all. Everything was hot and fresh and delicious. Definitely will come back again next year when POKEMON GO COMES BACK TO CHICAGO BABY! read more

Giordano's Famous Stuffed Pizza - Review Giordano's is a classic spot if you're craving Chicago-style stuffed pizza. The pizza is thick, cheesy, and extremely filling--definitely made for sharing. The crust is buttery and sturdy, packed with layers of cheese and toppings, then finished with a rich tomato sauce on top. Flavor-wise, it's indulgent and comforting, but very heavy, so a few slices go a long way. Expect a longer wait time since stuffed pizzas are made to order, but it's worth it if you're in the mood for something hearty and satisfying. Overall, Giordano's delivers on what it's known for: big portions, bold flavors, and true deep-dish vibes. Not an everyday pizza, but perfect when you want to treat yourself. read more

I was visiting from out of town, and several people recommended that I try Giordano's for authentic Chicago deep dish pizza -- and it did not disappoint! I ordered a small stuffed double meat deep dish, and it was absolutely delicious. The crust was buttery and crisp, the cheese perfectly gooey, and every bite was packed with flavor. The small size was more than enough to share for two people. Food: The deep dish pizza here is everything you'd hope for -- rich, hearty, and full of that true Chicago flavor. You can tell it's made with quality ingredients and baked to perfection. Service: The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure we were comfortable and happy throughout our meal. The pizza came out hot and fresh, just as it should. Ambience: The restaurant had a warm, welcoming vibe -- casual yet lively, perfect for visitors or locals alike.

(3/5) | How Did We Get Here?... to a Chicago classic that didn't fully deliver (Chicago | 1.3 miles from ORD) I stopped into Giordano's while in Chicago--because when you're this close to the city (and just 1.3 miles from ORD), deep dish isn't optional... it's expected. And visually? This pizza shows up. Thick, golden, flaky crust. That signature mozzarella pull. A plate that looks like Chicago in edible form. But here's where things shifted... The crust? Absolutely the standout. Flaky, buttery, and structurally solid--exactly what you want from a deep dish base. The mozzarella? Fresh and well-executed. You can tell the quality is there. But the overall flavor? It just didn't fully come together. The sauce and seasoning lacked the richness and depth I was expecting. For something this iconic, I anticipated bold, layered flavor--and instead, it leaned more on the mild side. And that's the disconnect. Because this place? It's clearly a cultural tourist staple. A "you have to try it" kind of stop. But for me, it felt more like a starting point than the destination. Would I return? Probably not. Chicago feels like a city where the perfect deep dish is waiting--and I'm still on that search. Final Take: Come for the experience. Stay for the crust. But if you're chasing unforgettable flavor? Keep exploring. How did we get here? To a world-famous pizza that looks iconic... but didn't quite match the moment. read more

It wouldn't be a trip to Chicago without trying their famous twist on pizza: DEEP DISH! Researching where to get the best, Giordano's seemed to be the clear consensus online & it absolutely lives up to the expectations. The service was good, servers were very kind and cheerful. Definitely took longer than usual, but it was very busy! 45 minutes is standard for a deep dish order ... they say that it's worth the wait and I'd have to agree!! Inside the restaurant is very warm and inviting, all red decor & moody lights from the giant "Giordanos" neon sign from outside. We tried the "Chicago Classic" deep dish pizza, which has pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers & onions! The crust was nice and crisp on the bottom, followed by a thick layer of cheese & pepperoni, with the sauce and veggies scattered on top. SO YUMMY! I would absolutely recommend this to someone trying deep dish for the first time. read more

Yeah, I know Giordano's is a touristy pizza chain, but honestly? It's still good. I'm not usually a deep dish person, but when you're in Chicago, it kind of feels like a requirement. The pizza here is seriously deep and so cheesy. What's not to like? I can barely get through two slices, but that doesn't stop me from trying. We also ordered the Italian beef arancini balls to snack on while we waited. They were fine. Not amazing, but they did the job. The space itself is huge and loud, with a pretty fast turnover. Lots of big groups, loud clanking dishes, crying babies, all of it. Definitely not the place to go if you're looking for a quiet, relaxing meal. But if you want to check that Chicago deep dish box, this spot gets the job done. It's a Chicago staple for a reason! read more

We finally got to try authentic Chicago deep dish pizza for the first time -- and wow, the pizzas were top notch! We ordered the classic Chicago style, and it was absolutely delicious. There was a bit of a wait to be seated, but it's encouraged to order your pizza ahead of time since it takes a while to bake, which I actually appreciated once I realized how long it takes to make that cheesy perfection. Now for the downside -- the staff and cleanliness. The service was not very attentive; we had to flag someone down every time we needed something. And the restrooms... yikes. My husband said the men's restroom was in pretty bad shape, and while the women's wasn't as bad, it was still dirty with paper towels and toilet paper all over the floor -- and both soap dispensers were basically empty. So while the pizza was amazing and definitely worth trying at least once, the restaurant could seriously step up its cleanliness and service. read more

First Chicago Deep Dish was delicious!! Service was good, and no wait. 45 mins for pizza to cook is always about par for deep dish. Gave only three stars because I also got the bruschetta, and even though the flavor was good, they did not toast the bread, so it was immediately soggy, and ruined the dish. Simply toasting the bread would have made a world of difference. read more

Have had giordano's many times, and this one was a little disappointing - we ordered double pepperoni and green peppers, and the toppings were a little lacking. And even though we picked it up the second it was ready and ate it right away, it was a bit cold and the cheese was coagulated and not melty. Still good, but could be better! read more

Oh where to begin... Our experience at Giordano's is marked by good service, a nice setting, and food we just didn't enjoy. We arrived and were put on the waitlist as it is typically very busy at any given location. We waited in the interior area, which was clean, and preordered our pizza before we eventually sat. The place is clean but don't drive here expecting to find parking anywhere nearby. The wait ended up being shorter than we expected and we were seated about 20 minutes into our 30 minute wait time. When we were taken to the dining room it felt pretty nice. Good tables and seating with a lot of TVs lining the walls and showing games. As mentioned before, we preordered our pizza which significantly cut down the amount of time it takes for it to arrive but it still took about 30 minutes of us being seated before it arrived. When it did arrive it was hot and fresh and we couldn't wait to dive in. We got a deep dish in the largest size they had with pepperoni as our topping of choice. How did it taste? Well, let's just say it wasn't for us. It's hard to blame Giordano's for making a style of something we don't like because it's like going out for sushi if you hate sushi. The pizza was very thick and doughy, expected of a deep dish pizza. We weren't fans of that or the fact the pepperoni was hard to taste as it was buried and layered under everything. The sauce was the biggest highlight of the pie, but to be honest this just isn't the style for us. We much prefer thin crust style pizza. We still think anyone in Chicago should come and try deep dish pizza because it's a city staple, it's just that personally we wouldn't do it again if we had the choice. read more

Right in the heart of tourist area, this place is massive and packed. They translate the traditional look into an open restaurant you can see from the streets.

The pizza was good! I understand the hype. We got the Chicago Classic. The cheese was thick and delicious. I did expect the sauce to be a little more robust or a thicker layer, but it was still really good. We also had an order of boneless wings - half buffalo half chilli honey. Those were good too. Service was fine. The process was a little chaotic upon arrival at this location. The line was out the door, but moved fast. If you want to dine in, you put your name on a waitlist outside. We were instructed that the wait for a table would be 25 minutes, but it takes about an hour for a pizza so put your order in at the counter. We did, then the line kept going. Do sit and wait? Do they call us since we gave our phone number or do we follow the line? They told us they'd call us, but I decided to just follow the line. Glad I did. Within a couple of minutes I reached the host, gave her my name and we were seated right away. Wings came out pretty fast. Our waitress, Max, was friendly and attentive - so was everyone else. Overall, I'd go back! Maybe during a non-peak time of the day or year (when it's less packed).. but glad I went. I wouldn't dare leave Chicago without trying Giordano's. read more
