I've not made it a secret that I love deep dish pizza, and specifically, Giordano's. I'm still extremely bitter that Dayton has one and Cincinnati still doesn't, but I guess that doesn't matter much for the Indianapolis review. Their pizza is consistently cheesy and delicious. However, this Indy location needs a bit of work. I felt kind of bad because my friend isn't a big fan of deep dish but I REALLY wanted Giordano's. I rationalized that she picked dinner the night before and it was my turn. She agreed, but looking back she may have chosen a better lunch option. We came in to a well air conditioned restaurant, which is absolutely crucial in this heat. I. AM. DYING. Anyway, we took a seat and were aptly greeted by our server. She wasn't exactly unfriendly, but a bit difficult to find. I have a feeling she wasn't a kid person because the two tables next to us had children and I watched the interactions she had with them. It was awkward. Giordano's has an excellent lunch menu. For under $10, you can receive a personal pizza, pasta, or sandwich with a side and drink. I ordered the sausage deep dish with fries and my friend had the thin crust cheese with fries. The food took a surprising amount of time to come out. They say to allow 45 minutes for the deep dish to cook. I thought that meant full size pizzas, not the mini ones. I never asked if my pizza was the reason for our extended wait time, but I assumed it was a good bet because my friend's thin crust was ice cold and our fries were limp and bland. Her food could not be enjoyed without a hearty addition of ranch. Luckily my pizza was hot and filling because I left a good portion of my fries on the table. The saving grace for Giordano's is the ability to buy frozen pizzas and take them home in their insulated bags. I took a sausage and a spinach pizza home to Cincinnati safely and enjoyed them in the comfort of my house. I've never hesitated visiting a Giordano's, but I'd probably think twice about coming to this location. It's smack dab in the middle of multiple A+ lunch offerings, so if you really want the deep dish, maybe eat elsewhere and get some of their frozen pizza to go. read more

Visited Giordanos and placed a large carry out order of $200+ scheduled for a pickup at 10:45PM on a Saturday night - which is right before they close at 11PM. The young gentleman working the register was extremely helpful and accommodating, and provided extra plates, utensils, red pepper, etc. The only problem was when I arrived back to the location to deliver the order this was for, it was missing 3 entree salads. My fault for not checking the order prior, but nonetheless frustrating. Biggest problem being that this creates a huge time issue because Giordanos was then closed by the time I realized the issue, and now I had to rush to find something else for the people who this was for. All in all, the food was fresh, hot, super delicious, and all of the weird requests were nailed - just missing the salads. I called the next day and 'Bill' was super helpful and worked to make it right. I will definitely be back to give it another shot. read more

This downtown Indy Giordano's is incredible! It is a family favorite for us and is great for first time visitors to Indianapolis! Heather is absolutely amazing, she always takes fabulous care of us! The food is jaw-droppingly good! The music is often strange but overall a very comfortable atmosphere. read more

As an Italian from NYC I was reluctant to try it. But I'm glad I did. The food was really good. However a lasagna should come with a salad and bread. Service was meh. They were nice but seemed like a very fake nice. Not a lot of customers but they always appeared busy. As for the ambiance it was ok. Nothing fancy but a decent atmosphere. read more

Had the Alfredo, it was alright ig. Kinda mid ngl but like from a jar. Not home made ‍ not that fast of refills but also had an hour wait so it was pretty crowded the staff was nice and help got my food fast and the restaurant was clean read more

Went here on my lunch break wanting something quick. Ended up in and out in about 75-ish minutes. Not too shabby. I got the Caesar salad as an appetizer. Very solid salad with a nice creamy dressing. Meets expectations of what a Caesar to should be. Waited 30/35 minutes for the spinach artichoke and feta extra thin crust pizza (which is stated normal on their menu). The toppings were tasty and nicely distributed throughout the pie. However, the dough tasted like it was from frozen/from a distribution center. Sad that it did not taste fresh or have a proper crisp that most extra thin pizzas do. Will know to ask for EXTRA crispy next time. Server Makaila was quick, polite and to the point. I appreciated her putting the leftover pizza in a box for me. Would go again, would just need to keep the lack of crisp in mind. read more

Yummy!!! If you've never had deep dish, you need to try Giordanos! This pizza is amazing. We went twice in a week! The first night we got a small Chicago classic. I ate one slice and my bf ate two. We had enough leftovers for one more night. We got delivery of the large meatlovers. This was our fave. First, the large is so big we had this for 5 nights! It re heats perfectly in the airfryer! Cannot wait to go again! read more

Came back to giordanos and just wanted to update and include how delicious the bruschetta was!!! You get 4 pieces of bread with huge heapings of bruschetta tomatoes on top. Our bread was a bit soggy this time but still delicious. Medium salad (entree size) big enough to split for 3 as starter. read more

Ordered through Uber Eats. The crust on the deep dish was hard as a rock. The calamari wasn't crisp but doughy. Never again.

Awesome service and the pizza was perfect especially the deep dish. I have tried many many and this was the best! Thank God they aren't in Atlanta where I live as I would gain lots of weight!! So good! read more

Our server Heather was a joy the whole time! Serving us timely and helping us with any questions we had. She was great to have help us! Such a fun experience! read more

Went there in Jan with the Mrs, her first time to try "Chicago" pizza, she was impressed. Pizza was awesome, Wish there was one closer to KY. read more

Dariel was so accommodating and the food was great! I would definitely recommend sitting at the bar.

We love coming here for lunch! Heather is the BEST and always has the best service and smile. We always come for the pizza and her.

I will say upfront that I am not a huge Chicago style pizza fan, but I did like the Meat and More Meat pizza at Giordano's. The thing keeping this place from a higher rating is the service. Not necessarily our waiter who was nice and kept our drinks rolling and managed our large party well. It took well over an hour to get a small pizza. I know I saw notes about it taking 45 minutes, but we waited twice that. We got there shortly after opening and it was not that busy yet. We were in town for a volleyball tournament at the convention center. I would think that restaurants would staff accordingly when they know big events are in town especially when business is probably slow during the week. If they could crank out pizza faster that would be great. read more

I came here for lunch and boy, was it fast. I think I was in and out in 30 minutes. I ordered off their lunch menu where you pick one entree, one side, and a soft drink for $10. I had what is probably my favorite quintessential Chicago food, the Italian beef sandwich, and it tasted exactly how they did at the Giordano's by my parents' house north of Chicago. Not chewy, salty and greasy, just the way it should be. And of course you have to have it with hot giardiniera. I sat outside on the patio and even though it is really close to the sidewalk (in fact, it was just built right over the sidewalk) the foot traffic wasn't intrusive at all. It probably helped that the entire patio area was covered by an awning, which made it seem more intimate. This location is less than a 5-minute walk from my office, so I foresee many a trip here. read more

So I came into this place for lunch and the host was great! Greeted us and kindly asked if we wanted a table or booth we got a booth as we asked for one but the problem that we had was the server I came into today wanting to take my grandchild here to enjoy some famous deep dish pizza the food was great but our server for lunch was horrible he came up to the table didn't introduce himself and seemed like he had a horrible attitude my granddaughter being 9 years old tells me and says he doesn't seem happy.that there says a lot. as I was walking to the bathroom he was complaining about a table asking too many questions ...that table sadly was us! We asked how the special menu was and if it was too spicy or hot for my granddaughter to try. he said (well maybe) never got his name too at this point . I don't get how restaurants have servers like this not to mention this is lunch time on a Saturday and we wanted to enjoy the day but sadly left dissatisfied with the server. The host he should've taken our order as we would've been treated better than what we got from our server. read more

Great food for the family! Fast, clean, and delicious! Excellent service! It was worth the drive downtown for a hot slice before the Pacers game read more

Great first time experience. Calamari was excellent, pizza was fantastic. Server was top notch. 5/5

Superb deep dish and the salads are to die for! Pro tip: they sell their deep dish pizzas frozen so you can take them with you and cook later! read more

We picked up some Giordano's last night and it did not disappoint. We got a deep dish pizza and some wings. The pizza had a delicious amount of cheese and the crust was just enough. It was pretty filling and I could only eat 1 piece. We also ordered some wings and I think this is the first place in a long time where the wings were a good size and you weren't left wanting more! Definitely recommend!!! read more

Good pizza, but bullsh** Covid fee. Long wait even though they have you preorder the pie ahead of time. If you go out to any restaurants please ask first if they charge a Covid fee and if they do walk away. I supported my locals where I'm from and if they started this crap I would not eat there! read more

Giordano's - BS Covid fee...I did not see anything indicating this until the bill showed up. - Pizza Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I am from Chicago, so deep dish pizza is always up for debate. Lou Malnati's is still my favorite, but if you aren't in Chicago, Giordano's is the real deal. Be prepared to wait for 45 minutes for your pizza to cook. It is worth the wait. Use mobile ordering to have your pizza ready when you want it. read more

Wanted to give an update to the customer service experience after an employee from the company reached out via Yelp. So, after seeing my review they posted a "please reach out" and I sent an email. The GM of the location reached out to me and we began going over the circumstance, along with apologizing for the bad experience. As I mentioned to him, an apology wasn't necessary, but much appreciated. At the end of the day it's not his fault it came together the way it did. Anyhow - they explain everything to me, ask me what happened, and how they're planning to move forward from here. I ended up going in here this afternoon for lunch and ordered some food. Customer service from when I walked through the door was exactly what you would have expected from a downtown restaurant. The food was excellent and the staff worked together to create an exceptional experience. Definitely check this place out for lunch - friendly an accommodating staff mixed with good food is a winner in my book. The one negative experience the other evening was a one-off, clearly. read more

GREAT Pizza!!! Although the time it takes, once the order is placed isn't timely...but this isn't fast food, this is high quality freshly made pizza!!! read more

While I prefer thin crust pizza my boyfriend is a deep dish fanatic...so keep that in mind! We redirected here on a whim on our way to Goodfellla's on a Thursday evening. The place was strangely empty but the dining area itself was an instagram dream! Exposed concrete, wood tables, GIANT light up sign, etc. Our waitress was prompt in getting our order. We started with the fried artichoke app and it was DELICIOUS. It wasn't too hot like some fried foods are and the pesto dipping sauce was amazing. After we finished that it was quite a wait for our pizza (maybe that's normal for deep dish? Who knows.) The pizza was very cheesy, not as cheesy as some of their photos make it out to be, but still a good amount. The sauce wasn't anything special but the crust tasted great! Very buttery crispy. Something else that was good though was that they allow you to order toppings on half of a pizza. My bf liked it and we each were full after only one and a half slices so order appropriately! read more

Fantastic place to eat. The best place in the area to get pizza I think. Nice location close to the mall. You definitely will not leave hungry. Be prepared to wait a little bit, but it will be worth it!! read more

Rude staff, never open at the hours they advertise, health violations, they are a shame to the franchise. Just not a place to spend your hard earned money at. read more

This was awesome. I had never had Chicago style pizza before and I was super excited to try it. The restaurant was clean and nice the staff was super nice. The pizza was cooked perfectly with a crispy crust, lots of cheese and fresh sauce. The calamari was so crispy and a fun twist with the fried lemon and artichoke in there as well. We had a tiny mix up that we didn't even care about and yet the waitress and manager treated us so nicely. Thank you! read more

I ordered pizza at 11:00 am this morning so it could be ready and delivered at 930 pm for 14 hungry volleyball players (from Illinois). I ordered on line as directed by their phone message and calling the store. They ensured me it would be ready. The order had not arrived at 945 pm. I called and it took close to 15 minutes for someone to provide an answer on the order. They said that it would be another 20 minutes. It finally arrived annhohowever the pizzas were very dark and one was COMPLETELY BURNT. I spent close to $200 on inedible food. I tried calling back, had to wait 12 minutes and then someone answered saying they were closed. I am calling the manager in the morning. I am extremely disappointed. 7/29 ANA I EMAILED YOU ON 7/20 PER YOUR REQUEST BYT HAVE NOT RECEIVED A REPLY. read more

My daughter and I were in last week for our Sorority's CentennialCelebration. When walking back to our hotel we first stopped at the Italian place next door. Having heard of Girdanos we popped over to compare menus. There we met Tia. We asked which restaurant was better. And after a nice exchange we decided to gather the rest of our party and eat at Giordanos. EXCELLENT choice! Jackson was our server and he was excellent. These two were so welcoming that we came back the next day! We ordered a larger pizza this time. Both Tia and Jackson were so nice to us, especially to my daughter. THANK YOU! My recommendation: EAT HERE! The toppings and cheese are first quality that you can taste. read more

There was quite a long wait for this location. We did have a lot of people with us so it's understandable. If you are in a time crunch I recommend not coming here. Deep dishes take at least 45 minutes to cook. Because it's downtown, parking has to be in parking garages. Food wise, I definitely recommend getting deep dish. The long wait is worth it. read more

Being a big fan of Chicago cuisine, I and some other work mates stumbled into the G for lunch one day. Fully aware of the time it can take to bake a full size deep dish pie from the Giordano's Chicago Loop location it can take upward of an hour or more before your order arrives. Well, the menu for lunch is set up for much faster dining times and I ordered the Italian Beef with hot peppers. Food came out quickly and those in our lunch party who ordered the personal size pies were greatly satisfied. I enjoyed my Italian Beef and was very impressed with the service our server Sara had provided. I recommend to anyone lunch time service at Giordano's. read more

I love this place. I tried it in Chicago and was so thrilled to see that they opened one right here in Indy! I think that the food tastes just as good as the one in Chicago, and very filling! (None of the people at my table could make it passed two slices, haha! ) The only complaint I have is that it took quite a long time for our appetizers to come, more than 20 minutes! But once they were served the pizzas followed not long after and all was great! Our waitress was also super sweet and helpful :) read more
