Unfortunately, a bad experience. We ordered $200 of pizza, the deep dish pizzas were undercooked and the other pizzas tasted like cardboard. We already had traveled back to the Airbnb and recooked them there. We have experienced the Chicago locations, this is not the quality expected. Skip it read more

This place has some of the whiniest bad reviews I think I've ever run across. One guy is upset because he encountered flies, in August, on the patio. He also was not happy that it was really hot that day. Come on Giordano's. Another reviewer's constructive critique is that you should drive 2 hours north to Middleburgh hts to experience good customer service. Sound advice. I'm on my way. I had a very pleasant experience. I ordered on line. I drove over 10 minutes before my pizza was supposed to be ready and it was ready. The nice hostess handed it to me and I thanked her and left. The pizza was good. Not over priced. I like that they have a personal size as I was flying solo. Cheese and sauce are good. Sausage was good. I would definitely be back. I'm not opposed to chains. If you have a good product and can replicate it do it. Maybe it's better in Chicago I don't know. I think a lot of people are ready to dislike this brand out of hand. Pizza snobs. read more

We were in the area and saw that the place wasn't over run with people. I walked in and was greeted by an empty front. I could see employees; but none came to seat me. At first, I thought they were seating another party, so I waited.... For five minutes. Several employees walked by , not acknowledging my presence. I turned and walked out, disappointed and mildly irked. A greeter followed me out to my car and asked if everything was okay. I explained what happened, she apologized and said that there was immediate seating available. I decided to go back in. As we were being seated, she turned to a coworker and complained about how impatient we were. We were hungry so I decided to ignore the comment. The pizza was delicious, the bruschetta was superb, the rest of our visit was non eventful. 5 stars for the food and service, dock 2 stars for the attitude and lack of service to start with. Yes everyone in the service industry is under staffed and overwhelmed. I get it. But, to piss off paying clients who could easily have gone elsewhere is bad business. read more

This is the second time I've tried to get a take out order from Giordano's. The first time was not long after they opened, and I had to wait an extra hour for my food to be ready. I understand that being close to opening for the first time it was real busy so I didn't completely blame them. This time I ordered online 4 and a half hours in advance so everything would be ready when I showed up. For some reason things weren't ready. I had to wait about 40 minutes past my pick up time and when I finally got home. The food was wrong, a little cold, it was substandard in taste, and it was extremely underwhelming. It almost felt like the food had been sitting around for a while. The manager was very kind and told me he would comp one of the pizzas off of my bill. But they weren't busy, I could have ordered at the counter and gotten my entire order before the time It took me to actually get my order. I was really looking forward to having the pizza tonight and I feel let down. The pizza in the picture is supposed to have double pepperoni. That's just an example. read more

Giordano's - I've tasted frozen pizzas that were 10 times better. - Pizza Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Last night's "Farewell to Carla Tour" is brought to you by Giordano's. I made plans with another friend to say our goodbyes before we move, so naturally we needed to do say our goodbyes over pizza, because you can't be sad when you're eating pizza, right?!? Nugget and I were early, you know we are on toddler dinner time. It was around 4:30 pm and the entire restaurant was empty, minus a couple in the back. We waited a few minutes, no one was at the hostess station. A few more minutes went by and then someone came out from the back. Once we were seated, I took a gander at the menu. Our server, Candy, came out and was super cheery. While we waited for my friend, I ordered drinks for the table and Nugget's cheese pizza. Why did we order his pizza first? Because no one likes a hangry toddler. My friend showed up and after looking at the menu we opted to order two pizzas (small deep dish pepperoni and a small thin crust spinach, artichoke, and feta pizza). If you're planning on order a deep dish pizza, make sure to order early because the cook time is at least 20 minutes. Nugget's pizza came out super hot. Once it cooled down, he dug in. He literally ate the entire pie in less than 10 minutes. Perhaps we have a future competitive eater on our hands? So by his standards it was good. Our pizzas came out 15-20 minutes after we ordered. Both small pizzas looked like they could feed a family of four. The deep dish was ginormous. I dug into the deep dish first. I'm still on the fence about deep dish. Hear me out. I'm a New Yorker. We like our slices thin, cheesy, greasy, and large. This was literally like a pie. Don't get me wrong it was good, but I'm still not sold on deep dish. Next, I tried the green pizza. It was good. There was def a good ratio of veggies to cheese. The crust was light and crisp. All in all Giordano's was a good choice. No tears were shed, due to being too stuffed to produce them. Pros: -Candy our server was quick, efficient, and cheery -Variety of items on the menu (everything from salads, sandwiches, subs, and pizza) -Eating at a toddler's dinner time Cons: -This isn't a total con, because I don't know if I'd consider deep dish pizza or an actual savory pie -Me not wearing stretchy pants -Lack of host/hostess upon arrival Tip: Order deep dish pizza when you are seated if you're super hungry. read more

Came here because I was out with the family getting some cigars from Don Rey Cigar, was recommended here because my brother had Giordano's in Chicago he raved about the pizza. We were greeted with a friendly attitude from a guy wish I got his name but he's light colored short hair about 5'10ish medium build he sat us quickly. That's the only reason why I gave it a 2 because of him... We had ordered the deep dish meatball, pepperoni & Canadian bacon pizza, damn I tell you looked awesome, had great cheese pull but other than that it was mediocre pizza this place is way overrated, for a pizza to cook for 45 minutes we should have had a steaming, piping hot pizza BUT it was not, it was lukewarm it seemed like it was sitting around awhile, our waitress only came by once didn't even asked "How was the food?" & the kicker to this it wasn't even packed, yes they had quite a few of tables filled but she wasn't the only server there & we should've had better service than what we had. It was to late to ask because we were hungry & ate it as is, we had to flag her down to get a refill on my water or even add a little bit more coke to my nephew's alcoholic drink. With this experience I know it will be our 1st & only, we thought we would've been blown away with a great pizza & service but we weren't. With that said take note go to 3 Brothers Pizza 7523 Pearl Road Middleburg Heights, OH 44130, 440.234.2525 & see how service should be... read more

This place has my favorite pizza place in the Columbus area. I had the Chicago classic Chicago style and it was fantastic. The server warned us since it was Chicago style, it would take 40 minutes. It was worth the wait! read more

This was my first visit to this location. My husband and I fell in love with the pizza in Chicago and I was super excited to find that there was a location in Columbus. We got there during the lunch specials, which was awesome! We both ordered the personal pan pizza, pepperoni for him and sausage for me. Plus a side of Garlic Parmesan fries. The fries were delicious! Ask for the marinara for dipping... You will not be disappointed. The pizzas were just as we remembered, very tasty. Service was great. We never had to ask for a refill. We will be returning here again soon! read more

Carryout Italian Beef--I was on time to pick it up and was advised it wasn't ready. After a brief wait, it was indeed in the warmer waiting for me. I brought it home to find the au jus had all leaked out from the plastic container as the heat of the warmer melted the lid. A dry Italian Beef with au jus-soaked Parmesan garlic fries was not my idea of the perfect Chicago experience. Pretty disappointed. The search for a Chicago-style Italian Beef in Columbus continues. read more

Everything about Giordano's is good. The food is great and everything taste as expected. I will also say that although good. I don't feel like its truly on the same level as the Giordano's in Chicago. But with that said, when you come here be prepared to wait about 45-1 hour for your pizza. That is how long it takes to make a deep dish, so that's technically not a long wait time. So if you order one it's probably best to get an app to satisfy your hunger for the time being. Service was pretty solid and nothing more really to complain about. read more

I took a family here to celebrate a senior photo shoot and Giordano's didn't disappoint. I had been bragging about them for months and my model's mother decided she would take me and my family there as a way of saying thanks. First of all, the fact that this is one of my favorite restaurants is funny since I'm seldom there, mainly because of location. Second, I don't deviate from my pizza choices because I'm a creature of habit. I always want sausage and pepperoni and if I add anything, it's pickles and onions. As a result, I'll order the Chicago Classic which is comprised of sausage, mushrooms, green peppers & onions, then ask them to remove the mushrooms. I love pepperoni, but I'm not hurting if it's missing in a deep dish. Besides, you can always have them add it. I've also had the Italian Beef sandwich which is a real winner and very much like the taste I get when I'm visitng sandwich shops back in Chicago. Finally, it wouldn't be a meal without wings as an appetizer. I've had them all and would eat each one again. I can't say that I have a favorite, but if I had to pick one, it would be the Dry Rubbed Ranch Wings. Any choice is a winner in my book. Definitly give them a try, particularly if you're a fan of deep dish. It's the best in town! read more

Yum!!! My boyfriend loves Chicago deep dish but it can be so hard to find. We have eaten at Giordano's in Chicago. I found this location to give a great food option when we were on a brewery trip. Perfect food to fill you up. We arrived early afternoon. The place was nearly empty. There was a large table of businessmen having some lunch and drinks and maybe one other table. Service was a bit slow. I knew going in deep dish takes 45 minutes so I was expecting that. However the waiter was not very attentive about drink refills and we had to keep flagging him down. When it's not busy there really isn't an excuse. The pizza however was delicious. We split a spinach pie. I even got a great cheese pull out of it. This stuff is filling, even to my boyfriend who can usually put down the pizza. It was cheesy with lots of spinach. The sauce is good and I of course add red pepper flakes and Parmesan on top. We don't have Chicago deep dish near us but enjoy it when we get the chance. If we happen to be in Columbus again we would definitely go again. read more

Me and my brother go out once a week to new places, we're not foodies but we do enjoy new places often. We heard about the deepdish pizza here being good from a friend who had his delivered via mail as a frozen pizza and we excitedly planned to go to try it fresh. I'll just list the pros and cons Pros: *Great tasting pizza compared to most mainstream places like papajohns/pizza hut/etc *Polite and friendly staff Cons:The silverware was not clean and had a ton of smudges and on it as if it wasn't cleaned *The glass of beer I had was okay but after the first sip I already noticed it was not a clean glass and had backwash in it or some weird gross mixture of food in it which I can only guess was someone's food that they spit back in their cut and somehow made it to my glass *The seats are very sticky which I thought was maybe cleaning product? or could've been actually sticky from other people *bugs were visible in that place and what bothered me alot is they have a rotating door which is very problematic for bugs to easily get in and me and my brother spent like 15 min swatting flies from our faces Overall it was okay but I wouldn't recommend it if you want a clean healthy eating atmosphere as not only is the glass dirty with someone's possible backwash or other foods but nothing was clean for eating. The pizza was good but it would be much more worth it making your own deepdish in a large pan which I tried making myself today and turned out nearly as good as theirs which was not bad for a first attempt. I didn't even mention the fact that the deepfryer was broken so mozzarella sticks and or anything fried was not even an option sadly read more

Authentic handmade made pizza from scratch. Delicious! The lunch special portions are good for children & adults who don't want to over eat. I ordered a deep dish & a thin crust. With the thin crust the style is changed up as bit to: crust, pepperoni, sauce, then cheese. The traditional Chicago style is deep dish where the sauce is on top. There's so much cheese with the deep dish pizza. It's quite the experience. The Parmesan fries were extremely salty. Not sure if that's how they normally are. Would visit again. read more

If you're any kind of fan of deep dish pizza you need to go to Giordano's! This pizza is heaven on a plate. Be prepared to spend some time here, the pizza takes awhile to come out, about 45-60 min, so you definitely have time for drinks and apps. I stuck with a simple pepperoni and I wasn't disappointed! The layers of cheese and pepperoni are amazing! The waiter will typically serve it for you - they're pretty skilled and making sure all of the cheese makes it on your plate. There's plenty of seating inside and outside, however it is located in Polaris so expect it to be busy all the time. There's plenty of parking in the lot though so you won't have to worry about finding a spot. read more

Closest thing to a trip to Chicago! Was in Columbus for work and was able to drive back to Louisville with two of these deep dish gems! Amazing even 3 hours later! Worth the road trip but please, open one in KY or Cincy! read more

We went to Giordano's with friends. After the expected 45 minutes for a Chicago style pizza, ours came out. 10 minutes later, our friends' pizza came out all wrong. The waitress had keyed it in wrong. 45 minutes later, the right order came out. We were already done eating and had our pizza boxed up by the time theirs came out. Hardly the night out with friends evening we were looking for. Our friends' pizza was comped, but ours wasn't although the evening was ruined for ALL of us. The waitress never came back to the table after the debacle. She sent someone else to deal with us. Horrible night out. read more

Nice place. Pretty big. We were seated quickly and wait staff let us know that pizza would take about 30 minutes as its made fresh. We had a salad while we waited. By the time we got our pizza it was not hot at all. So don't known what happened. Was gonna ask them to heat it up but lukewarm was ok and i was hangry. LoL. Took rest home and heated it up! Oh. It was good! read more

I wanted a nice pizza and relaxation. The pizza was good but we didn't like the crust. It was brittle and cracker like. The inside parts were real good. Our order took well over an hour. My biggest complaint was the noise. The chairs drag across the hard floor. Picture in your mine chairs over and over scraping across the floor. It's like nails on a chalkboard. It was so hard to converse with all the noise. One person said "I can't hear you because of the noise"They work hard to give you a decent pizza. Get new chairs. read more

Ordered the Special. Veggies were fresh, cheese plentiful. The only thing special was that it was especially short of sausage. Counting carefully, we've come up with less than 2, desiccated pieces of sausage, per slice. Oh, and the 3% surcharge, no explanation what the surcharge was for. We've had it in Chicago, this is not it. read more

As someone who lived in Chicago for a couple years, I would consider myself to be an experienced Chicago style pizza eater. While in Chicago, I only visited Giordano's once before I fell in love with a smaller, one location, pizza spot on the Northside. I'll leave that a mystery to you all but if you know, you know. While I've been in Columbus for a couple years now, I just recently made it to the Giordano's we have here in the Polaris area. My sister, her boyfriend, and my nephew and I came to celebrate my nephews 8th birthday for lunch. After putting my name down on the waitlist, we hung out near to the door for about ten minutes before a booth was ready for us. While waiting I took a peek at the bar area, snapped a few pictures of the giant "Eat Pizza" sign, and admired their bathroom. Seriously, you don't have to touch anything once you're out of the stall. The soap, water, and dryer are all hands free and they even have a lever at the bottom of the door so you don't need to use your hands. Attention to detail at its finest. I was impressed! Ok, ok, now on to our dining experience. Our server was quick to bring us water and take our drink orders. She also advised on how long the pizzas would take and broke them down by type. Obviously the famous deep dish would take close to an hour, but we appreciated the heads up. We started with the appetizer sampler and I got a ceasar salad. The sampler included wings, cheesy bread, mozzarella triangles, and bruschetta. I tried one of the mozzarella triangles and wasn't a fan. The bruschetta on the other hand was great! My salad was good too, I ate every bite. Eventually the pizzas came out. While my sister and her boyfriend went with a deep dish with all the meats, my nephew got the kids spaghetti, and I ordered an extra thin crust margherita. Everyone was pretty happy with their meals except for me. I asked about the thin crust being crispy before I ordered it and was told that yeah, it's a pretty crispy crust because it's so thin. Well folks, this crust was not crispy. It was almost like a tortilla. Super soft, flimsy, no crunch at all. I honestly thought it was under cooked, how else can a thin crust pizza be so soft? I had a couple pieces and decided to save the rest for later. I can say that once I reheated it at home, it was delicious! Overall, I would definitely come back. They even brought out my nephew a giant cookie and scoop of ice cream to celebrate him turning eight. He was totally surprised and even let his aunt take a bite (it was wonderful!). read more

the pizza was blah and the Italian beef bread was over baked. it was not a great meal in any way!

Chicago style deep dish pizza is awesome. There's a lot of people out there that will say that it's not really pizza. They might be right. But it's still delicious, so that's what matters to me. I've been to Giordanos multiple times in Chicago, as well as Gino's East and Lou Malnati's. I personally prefer Lou Malnati's, but Giordanos is still a SOLID option, and it's the only option that we get in Columbus, so yeah. Now, an important disclaimer: I've only ever carried out from this location, and I plan on keeping it that way. Here's why: This is the only Giordano's in the state of Ohio. And it's at Polaris. So it's gonna be busy. They don't take reservations. And oftentimes, there's a significant wait to be seated. Chicago style pizzas take a looooong time to make. We're talking close to an hour. So it's entirely feasible that you might wait an hour to be seated, and another hour to get your pizza. That doesn't sound fun to me at all. But their pizza is so good! So what should you do when you have a craving for a Chicago style pizza and don't want to make the 5~6 hour drive to Chicago? Order online, pick it up, and eat it at home like I do! Their online ordering system lets you order earlier in the day and select what time to pick up your pizza. Boom. If you live within a 30 minute drive of Giordanos, which is basically the vast majority of Columbus, you're probably better off carrying out than dining in. read more

Giordano's - Large deep dish pepperoni pizza, take out order - Pizza Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

This place is garbage. Just got home from a trip, cupboards are mostly bare save a few cans of green giant. So I decide pizza , and since I'm all still in travel mode let's go the one extra Chicago style deep dish. While driving on the road I dial. "Hello , Giordano's. Will this be take out or delivery?" "Yes, take out please." I say "I'm sorry you have to use the online ordering system for take out." "Really? I can't. I'm driving right now." "Sorry sir, take out is online ordering." "You honestly cant write, large pepperoni with tomatoes?" "Take out is online only, we are understaffed." * Unheard of! Now I'm not saying this or that, but being railroaded into online. In the full time of our conversation my order would have been taken. I have never ever heard of a pizza place risking losing customers over virtual vs talktime. I'm a huge proponent of Chicago style. I have also said that this Ohio location might not be exactly right, but it close. Well this pushed it over the edge. Dont bother. It's not great as is, and this franchise's management would rather lose customers that just take an order. F+ read more

This was AMAZING! I can't believe I'm only 2 hours away from this place. I no longer have to drive all the way to Chicago! I got the small for two people. Plenty! We got pepperoni, sausage and spinach. It was....no words! Please note! It takes about 45mins to make. Luckily, when we arrived there was a hour wait and they allow you to place your order when you arrive so When you get your table, the food isn't far behind. The service was immaculate! The wait for a table wasn't even the full hour. They keep people moving in and out. Our waiter was so awesome and attentive. Overall, I'll be making this drive SOON! For yes!!! read more

Wasn't a fan! Two stars because of the comfortable family friendly environment but the food was less than impressive! I ordered spaghetti with meat sauce and the sauce was very bland! Tasted like it was poured straight out of a can with no seasoning or herbs added! I ordered an extra side of meat sauce and it came out in a small condiment sized container that's never gonna be enough for someone who loves sauce so much they're willing to pay for extra! Definitely won't ever be mistaken for homemade!! read more

Wait a minute, wait a minute. You know, this is, excuse me, a damn fine piece of pizza. My first attempt at giordano's was not the best. Bare bones version: they forgot to add me to the wait list so I never got seated. Thankfully after emailing with management we sorted out the kinks and I ended up giving them a second try. It just seems wholly unfair to hold a grudge against a new popular restaurant when they're trying to cope with an onslaught of weekend business. Second attempt: success. The hostess was friendly, I was seated right away. Our server was nothing short of personable and nice. He explained right away that the deep dish pizzas can take up to 50 minutes so we were able to place our order for that first. Thankfully, having two kids in tow, appetizers come out very quick, and if you order a kid's pizza it won't take as long either. The appetizer combo was a nice treat while waiting for the pizza. I didn't particularly care for the cheese bread but all the others (boneless chicken wings with BBQ or buffalo dipping sauce, potato bites, mozzarella triangles) were all really good. And with complimentary wifi, I could stream a movie when the snacks and kids pizza lost their appeal. The pizza came out quicker than originally quoted. And boy was it good. I got the meat pizza: pepperoni, sausage, salami, and bacon. They didn't skimp on any of the toppings, there was tons of cheese and lots of sauce. The crust was crisp and held up to all the toppings. There's a lot more sauce than a normal pizza, next time I'll most definitely ask for light sauce. We ordered some cannoli before we left, and it was the perfect light treat after such a filling meal. One was plenty so we only needed one order (3 mini cannoli). They were delicious and unlike any I've had before. I'd highly recommend them! read more

Chicago deep dish pizza in Columbus. Unique style pizza with a menu filled with a variety of classic Italian favorites to the Italian beef sandwich, bruchetta, cannoli's and tiramisu. This restaurant is located on Polaris Parkway in a strip mall near a UDF with plenty of parking. Please, please plan ahead if pizza is on your dinner agenda. It takes a full 30 minutes to cook but another 20 minutes to prep. Once inside the staff takes your name and will text you once a table comes available. We were quoted 1 hour so we decided to explore the area, however, we were told to order our pizza in 45 minutes by calling their store number so the pizza would be ready sooner but 20 minutes into our wait we were texted. Hmm, very far off from the hour they originally stated but let's talk food. I ordered a sangria while we waited for our pizza. It was slightly sweet and had a few cherries and Orange slice as a garnish. We also ordered the calamari and the Italian beef sandwich. The server was attentive at the beginning and got our drinks and the calamari quicker then we expected. The calamari encompassed both rings and tentacles of the squid along with green beans, onions, peppers and lemons. Yes, fried lemons. Not a fan! It was not my favorite calamari but sufficed as we were hungry. We split the Italian beef and oh my. This was the show stopper. The sandwich had a crispy bread with deliciously seasoned beef that we topped with au jus sauce and peppers along with provolone cheese. Please order this, especially perfect for lunch along with a side salad like we ordered. $7.95 during lunch. So, let's fast forward to the second hour of our experience when our pizza was delivered to the wrong table. Oh, to make matters worst the pizza takes 45 minutes total from order to delivery to your table. What a horrible experience. The general manager, JJ, quickly got involved and made us another pizza and comp our check. Resolution solved, however, another 45 minutes to wait. We spent a total of 3 1/2 hours trying to experience the pizza and so sad about it all. We took the pie home and warmed it in the oven. It was crispy and filling. Too bad I didn't have pictures to send from my kitchen table. It was a bitter experience that I do not wish on anybody. We will be back but scared to do so on a Friday or Saturday when they are busy. I don't want that experience again. The service could be better. read more

Unfortunately it does not match the quality or quantity of toppings as the original Giordano's restaurant in downtown Chicago. We got THE SPECIAL - DEEP DISH Sausage, mushrooms, green peppers & onions. The toppings were 75% green peppers, 10% onions, 10% mushrooms, and only 5% sausage!! It was practically a Vegetarian Pizza !! I was extremely disappointed. I thought this would be my New favorite pizza place in Columbus, but sadly NO. The original location in Chicago is the best pizza I have ever eaten, so why can't the cooks in this Columbus restaurant maintain that quality and quantity of ingredients?? I will NOT be going back. The only pleasant thing about the meal was the server, Zack was very nice and friendly and efficient. read more

Finally. Actual Chicago pizza. A few things to know before you go: 1. They appear to be understaffed 2. Chicago pizza takes time to cook. This is not fast food. 3. It's worth the wait. Delicious!!! Went in a Sunday for lunch. We ordered the pep/sausage pizza. We shared wings and an Italian beef sandwich while we waited. The garlic parm fries are delicious. Get cheese on the Italian beef. The pizza arrived hot and oozing with cheese. Crispy pie crust. Leftovers did not survive the night. We will return! read more

Excellent Chicago style pizza. I had not realized there was a Giordinos in Polaris until today. I ordered take out a chicken-sausage pizza with mushrooms and spinach and then two side salads with lemon vinaigrette. The service was good. I initially tried to order online, but their website said they weren't accepting anymore orders. I called because that seemed odd. I was able to order and they said it would be ready in 45 minutes. We went to get pizza and salads and brought them home. It was great. The pizza was absolutely stuffed. Lots of cheese and the chunky sauce Giordinos is known for. The salads were also super yummy. There was something like Daikon radish on top and the lemon vinaigrette and cherry green tomatoes just gave them a great taste. I will definitely be back. read more

Giordano's Columbus is great! If you're looking for mediocrity. * To preface this review - Both my guest and I have worked in the restaurant industry for the greater part of our lives. * Time to greet our table was 12 minutes. We understand being short-staffed, but a simple, "Hi give me one minute and I'll be right over," works just fine. We then requested two waters with lemon. Time to receive those was 8 minutes. Upon asking if they carry any vegan options, they server responded with a seemingly disgusted manner. Utterly disappointed in the lack of pride these workers have in their establishment. Sad to see, since Giordano's in Chicago is spectacular. * Head across the street and try "nomad" instead. Great service with a smile. That's where we ended up. read more

OH MY PIZZA, YOU GUYS!!! This pizza was so freakin good. I don't even know where to start. First and foremost let me tell you that I am a New York style pizza girl. I have ALWAYS preferred it. Well, cue Giordano's. I now have a special place in my heart for Chicago style pizza. It was a fat girl's dream! So much cheese and toppings! (Do they even call them toppings on a Chicago style? I will have to research further on that one...) I was worried to visit this location after reading mixed reviews and I am so glad that I decided to. The vibe in there is really cool. The decor brings it all together and it doesn't feel like just a pizza place. The staff was super friendly and provided recommendations since it was our first visit. It was awesome! The only downside? You have to wait 45 minutes for the deep dish style pizza to cook. But the plus side? After those 45 minutes are up you get to eat some of the most delicious pizza you will ever taste! read more

This was our first time and expected great things. But unfortunately it was not at all. Most of the party got there food and when asked where the third pizza was. The waitress and female Manger would not own up to the mistake. Instead give us an excuse or 5 more mins. Thankful the male Manger was kind and made things right. I will be completely honest I have not had this bad of service ever. Didn't even eat our pizza, had them box it up and take it home. read more

What a joke. Awful taste and awful value, even with a coupon. Our thin crust pizza had huge chunks where there was no toppings and it was the driest piece of yuck I ever tasted. Someone cut off the top of a pepperoncini with the stem still on it and threw it on the pizza. I seriously cannot believe one person or several persons looked at this pizza and patted themselves on the back and sent it out the door. I heard so many great things about this place and it was really a shame to get served what we had. The owner below my review, Ana P., told me to contact her via e-mail but she didn't respond to me for weeks unless I resent my original message, but the whole thing went nowhere. Her appearance of concern in replying to me is nothing but a phony gesture and she is just trying to make Giordano's look good on Yelp. A lot of businesses seem to be doing that now, reply to unhappy customers who were served food like the disgusting pizza you see in my photos just so they can try to look "good". Maybe just try to serve *good* food and you wouldn't have to =O ! read more

Giordano's - Gross, half of the pizza didn't doesn't even have anything on the crust. No sauce, no cheese. Notice pepper with the stem still on it. Dry - Pizza Near Me - Columbus, Ohio
