When in Chicago, you gotta get a deep dish! Giordano's is definitely a Chicago staple. My sisters and I got the 10' chicken sausage deluxe topped with mushrooms and spinach. It was so yummy. I would also like to comment on how amazing the cheese pull was after the first bite. In addition to that, we also got calamari. The pizza does take 40 mins to make, but that's because they make it fresh to order, so we highly recommend getting an appetizer. The service was great, and they were also very attentive. The vibes were also great, it's a good place to watch some sports since they have multiple TV's. If you want to bring a pie back home, they have frozen pizzas you can order so you can take home a pie of Chicago with you!

Ordered some pizza and salad here while on our quick trip to Chicago. It wasn't busy, so we were able to get sat right away. The way this place works is you order at the counter and then find a seat. As with most deep dishes, the pizza took about 30 minutes to come out. The pizza hit the spot, especially from someone who comes from LA where deep dish is not as easy to find. They have a lot of takeout pizzas that are frozen too for you to enjoy at home if you prefer.

Extra crispy crust sausage and green peppers tavern pizza.

I ordered an extra crispy crust tavern pizza with sausage and peppers. What I got was a BURNT pizza with barely any sauce. I've had better grocery bought frozen pizza. So disappointing. Love their deep dish.

Everytime the family visits Chicago, getting an authentic deep dish pizza is an absolute must. The two best places are UNO and Giordano's, but Giordano's never disappoints! This was the first time our boys had been to Chicago and had this, but it was just as good as I remember from several years ago. When you arrive, you will place your order and then seat yourself. We called ahead to get the food started. Plan to sit and chat for a while or do the same because it takes a long time for the pizza to cook (think 40-60 minutes). While we waited, we tried the appetizer tray and it had a good assortment of items that appealed to different people in our party. However the pizza was the star of the show, as it should be! Hot, meaty, saucy, and delicious just like deep dish should be. Don't get too optimistic and overorder. The medium pizza can easily feed four and give leftovers....you get full fast. Whenever I come to Chicago, I stop for deep dish and Giordiano's is a definitely winner!

Calamari

Went to giordanos for dinner with my family and I haven't been to this locations in years. It's been remodeled and has more seating available. All orders are placed at the counter and brought out to you. We got a deep dish pizza and calamari. Everything was good. I will definitely be coming back.

You Guys serious always some this location

Favorite deepdish in the city! Excellent sauce, cheese, crust and toppings. Tried tavern style too. Very good, but nowhere near the deepdish.

Half and half deep dish pizza

Came all the way from Florida to try the famous Chicago deep dish pizza and it didn't disappoint! The attention and service was amazing, made us feel so welcomed and even did the cutting and melted cheese demonstration for us. Great spacious place great to come with the whole family and have a great meal together!

Nothing quite like deep dish pizza from a well known Chicago spot. While on my way out from a weekend visiting the Windy City and we'd have been loathe to miss a chance to have lunch! We stopped by this newer location - and they were very nice to let us know that this was a newer location with a newer staff and we were fine being patient! We got The Special pizza with a the house salad and really, really enjoyed our time. The staff was also nice enough of us to let us know that deep dish takes about 45 to cook - which was WORTH THE WAIT! Love deep dish style pizza and this pie was no exception. The crust was buttery was delicious, the sauce was fantastic, the cheese was perfect and loved how chock full the pizza was with toppings. Absolutely stunning. I made my way through 2 slices and then had to tap out - delicious. Big fan and definitely recommend!

Calamari with hair on it

Use to love this location, I'd order pizza and a lot of sides and appetizers, but after seeing this hair in the calamari appetizer this will be my last time having this pizza from this location and this brand. The hair has pieces of the breading on it and we decided to throw everything away because this is disgusting.

Meat lovers!
Mag T.

One of the best deep dish pizzas in Chicago!! Get the meat lovers pizza you wont be disappointed! We ordered a small for 2 people it was enough for us and we even had leftovers for the next day! *chefs kiss*

Up until tonight, my experiences had always been positive and the food was fantastic. Unfortunately, this visit was more than disappointing. I ordered a salad I've had at least a dozen times before, accept I added grilled chicken on top. I live for this salad and was just there maybe three weeks ago. Unaware that they have changed their menu, I ordered as usual. The name of the salad has not changed on the menu, but apparently the ingredients had been completely altered. When the dish arrived, to my surprise, it was drastically different and not something I enjoyed at all. I politely informed our server, who was kind and accommodating, and offered to replace the dish. However, it was now 6 p.m. we had tickets to see The Wiz at 7 p.m. and didn't have time to wait for another order, which I also informed her. I asked if the salad could be removed from the bill since it was essentially untouched. The server checked with the owner, who refused to remove the $30 salad or offer any kind of discount. When a restaurant changes a dish but keeps the same name, it creates a reasonable expectation for returning customers. When that expectation isn't met, basic customer service should step in. What makes this even more frustrating is that the restaurant was willing to prepare an entirely new dish, but not willing to remove the uneaten one from the bill. That simply isn't logical. If you're prepared to replace an item, it clearly acknowledges there was an issue, so refusing to comp or adjust the original charge is unreasonable. That decision was extremely disappointing. I, in-turn made the decision to eat only the additional grilled chicken on top, leaving the rest of the salad, paying the full bill and promptly getting out of there so we could be on time for our show. The only positive part of the experience was our server, who handled the situation with professionalism and kindness. Sadly, the new menu leaves much to be desired and this experience has cost Peanut Park my business and my referrals going forward.

Truly one of the most enjoyable Italian food experiences in Chicago. It's worth the effort to plan…read moreahead and make a reservation. Reservations are released 21 days ahead of time, which I personally find impossible to make. Every time I've checked over the last several years there have been no availability. Yesterday I decided to pop on their website again and was delighted to find that they had released same day dinner reservations for patio only dining. The weather was perfect for outdoor dining so I went ahead and booked a table for Friday night. I felt like I won the dinner lottery. Service was wonderful and I didn't mind sitting outside at all next to the road with cars. I actually never stepped foot in the restaurant so cannot comment on what it's like inside. But do not give up that patio dining reservation if it's available. All of our dishes were delicious. I was really impressed by the meatball appetizers, chicken vesuvio (the potatoes are a must get as a side if you skip this dish), and branzino. The meats and sauces were wonderfully balanced and tender. Nothing tasted overly salted. Ironically, the pasta felt less of a star compared to the other dishes. And of course I had to get the gelato, which was so aesthetically presented and the taste just reminded me of an Italian summer vacation.

They stick people on their front coffee table as their dining location and act like it is normal…read more There needs to be a discount to eat at this table. Removed the "restaurant surcharge" after I asked.

The server was attentive and in tune with our table. The courses were properly paced and the food was delicious.

I know many places offer Caesar salads but this one was superb, perfectly dressed with light croutons and tasty dressing. We will definitely go back!

The inside of the restaurant felt like a classic Italian restaurant you might find in Italy. Our waiter was super nice and gave some great wine recommendations. First, they bring you some bread and give you a small platter mixed with olive oil, fresh garlic, and Parmesan. This is the first time I've seen it done this way but it was delicious. The calamari was delicious, not too fried and oily but still had so much flavor to it. We also decided to order the peperoni pizza, which is just a magnificent pizza. It was just cooked perfectly with just the right amount of flavor and spice. I ordered the raviolacci toscani, which took a bit of time to come out (but understandable given the amount of people). It was just delicious. The meat filling had such a deep flavor and the sauce wasn't so heavy that I didn't want to finish it. I would recommend this to anyone that wants a good Italian meal with great portions. Reservations might be hard to get so plan ahead.
