Went in and ordered take out and waited for the food. I waited...and waited...and waited...and eventually had to go check to see why it was taking FOREVER to get my food. Mind you, I only ordered a salad and cheese bread. The host then pulls my food from out of the warmer and says, "it's been ready"! Why didn't any one tell me it was ready since I was sitting directly in front of the "To Go" order counter?! Your guess is as good as mine. The food was HORRIBLE. I didn't think it was possible to mess up cheese bread and a salad but Giordano's found a way. The cheese on the bread was ....tangy? The bread was entirely too crispy and the marinara sauce tasted like it came directly from a can or Lunchable. The salad was horrible and had enough topping to fit in one spoonful. The chicken on the salad was either boiled or came from a plastic bag. I won't be going back. It's so unfortunate because other locations are actually good. read more

This review is very saddening for me to write. To begin I LOVE deep dish pizza. Especially when it comes to Giordano's but I must only give this two stars because the experience we had there was not great at all. Since we have frequented Giordano's locations many times (both in Chicago and in Indianapolis) I know some of the tricks. For example order as soon as you get there so you won't be waiting as long when you are finally seated. I understand due to the nature of what you are ordering the ticket times are going to be higher. Once we had waited and were sat our waiter checked on us less than five times during our entire dining experience. We waited at least 15 minutes before he even asked what we wanted to drink. The next time he checked on us was when the pizza came out and our drinks were almost empty. While eating he checked on us one more time. By the time we were done eating I was ready for the check and wasn't sure how much longer we would sit there before he checked on us again. I felt rude stopping him to ask for the check but when we weren't being checked on as we should have been. Typically I'm very lenient when it comes to service and waiters but this was just not great at all. I will say that the food was great as always but the service gets a no from me. Hopefully this is just a one time thing but it seemed as though all the tables were getting this sort of service that night. read more

We've always loved this place so do many others. It can be a wait to be seated, depending on the time and day but SOOO WORTH IT! We haven't been here since my boyfriend's brother came here to visit a couple of years ago. He has since been killed in action while serving our country! Miya is so great and sweet! The service was amazing! Thank you, Miya, for making this day great for the both of us! read more

Fantastic Chicago deep dish pizza in Indianapolis. Loved the house salad as well. The small pizza was enough for both dinner and lunch for two of us. Service was fast and friendly and the atmosphere casual. Close to all the downtown hotels and definitely worth a visit. read more

Giordano's - Pizza Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I've been here a couple of times or so, one for a Yelp event (where we got a monstrous amount of food and goodies) and another time or two on my own personal dime. The food here is good. Compared to Chicago's locations, the Indianapolis locations don't fully add up to the same flavors that you get in Chicago, for some unknown reason. Still, it's good deep dish pizza, and I'm glad that there's a location in downtown Indy, so I don't have to drive all the way to Chitown to get a slice of that deep dish pizza. In Chicago, I ordered the mushroom + pizza deep dish. It was hands down, one of the best deep dishes I've had. I ordered the same thing before, and it just wasn't as mouthwatering. Still, it was delicious, just didn't have that punch that the Chicago location had. The space here is very nice, especially the outside patio for people watching. It's quite spacious and lots of seating, so good for parties / groups. Overall, this isn't my favorite deep dish pizza in the Circle City, but it's definitely in the top. Just a littttle too pricey for me to dine her too often, although their lunch special isn't too bad. read more

Giordano's had incredible pizza and drinks, as well as impeccable service that made sure you were aware of the fact that your pizza was going to take a long time to make. The atmosphere was very rustic and there was great music playing throughout my dinner. Since I ubered to the restaurant I never found out the parking situation. This restaurant is in the middle of downtown Indy, so Im assuming parking might be a little complicated. Overall, wonderful staff, wonderful food, and I had an amazing experience here! read more

great prices, beautiful scenery, great service by Heather! thank you for a wonderful experience and wonderful food!

Great customer service and the food was excellent. Came in for lunch and the turn around time from when I ordered to when I got my lunch special was less than 10 minutes. Bill is a fantastic GM who cares about the whole operation- his staff, cleanliness, quality control and of course his customers. read more

The server and manager were extremely friendly and accommodating for my gluten sensitivity. Their normal menu lists gf items right on it, and they also provided me with a binder of all restaurant items, including all sauces to check ingredients. Amazing experience! read more

I was really disappointed to find that, upon reviewing my receipts and credit card statement, that I was charged $20 more than my actual bill. I can only assume someone took the liberty to take a $20 tip for my TAKE-OUT order, which I waited more than 30 minutes past the original pick-up time to receive. I did not plan to leave an unsatisfactory review, despite my experience, but when I come to find that this establishment tried to rip me off, sorry, I'm going to warn people. Really disappointing. There are too many other businesses I can patronize, I will not give any future business to this location. read more

After eating in Giordano's in Chicago, we were excited to realize there was one in downtown Indy. We decided to go for pizza after the Colts game. We were surprised the place was pretty empty and there was no one at the hostess stand. There were 5 waitstaff close by and several walked past us, but no one acknowledged us. After a few minutes a woman in a t-shirt approached the stand and I asked if we were supposed to seat ourselves. She replied, "no ma'am," stared at the seating chart for a bit, picked up two menus and walked away. She then came back across the room and told us were supposed to have followed her. I guess we didn't hear her. We were here and hungry so we followed her. Our waiter took our drink order promptly. We then ordered when he brought our drinks. I ordered the very veggie thin crust and my husband ordered the deep dish pepperoni and sausage. The wait time for the pizza wasn't bad for a deep dish and our pizzas were delicious. I could only see spinach on my pizza, so asked the waiter if it was a veggie pizza. He said, "that's what the kitchen told me," and left. I pulled some cheese off the pizza, took a bite and there was only spinach. After a few minutes, my husband was able to catch the waiters attention. I explained my pizza was a spinach only pizza. He told me he would check the ticket. I could see the waiter serving other tables around us, but he said nothing to us and seemed to be ignoring us. I waited and then ate a couple of pieces of the spinach pizza, because I was hungry and tired of waiting. As I finished, the waiter brought out my veggie pizza. I explained I didn't want it as I had already eaten some of the other one that was actually very good. He said he would take it off our bill. We asked for our bill and some to go boxes. We waited. He brought the bill and said he would get the boxes. We waited. At that point we decided to pay cash so we wouldn't have to wait any more. Our waiter took our check and payment and said he would get the to go boxes. He brought one box, put the deep dish pizza in it and said he would have to go to the kitchen for the other box. We waited and then left without the other box or pizza because how long should you wait to take a pizza you didn't order or pay for? Honestly what is so disappointing about the experience is that the pizza was very good, but it does not make up for a bad experience. We gave our deep dish to a gentleman on the street who asked if he could just have a slice of our pizza. That is when I regretted not waiting for the spinach pizza to give his friend. This wasn't a good experience, which is unfortunate, because the pizza was good. read more

Beyond the pizza this place has a lot of delicious little gems. Whether it's the potato fritters, with their crispy outside and soft smooth inside; the crispness of the chicken salad or Cesar salad; or the freshness of the bruschetta you can't go wrong!!! And for my lactose intolerant people try the spinach artichoke with no cheese and you'll kill the game as you eat a healthier and just as delicious pizza without the side effects of added fat. It has a nice tangy kick to it and you don't even miss the cheese! I also had a nice glass of Chardonnay, which was chilled and a perfect addition to my meal. read more

I don't vent often, but WOW. Bad service would've been an upgrade to how rude the front service girls were. Place was half empty but we were told we would have to wait over an hour. This was only like 5pm on a Saturday. Back bar area has walk in service, but you have to be 21 to go there so I couldn't take my kids in, to a pizza restaurant?? Five feet from where they were waiting for a table to open up, in a restaurant that had at least five open tables, and a line of exactly two people. So my choices were wait for an hour in a fictional line, order take out or leave. Hmm, tough choice. The burger place right down the street, twice as busy took care of us just fine. So my choices were wait in a fictional line, order take out or go somewhere else. Leaving was the best choice, although you have to read more

Was pleasantly surprised how much I like this place. Vaulted ceilings, very clean, great service. Started off with excellent Buffalo wings on the bone that were a nice size and made me break out in a happy sweat. The meat lovers deep Dish Chicago style pizza rivaled the authentic one I actually had there, and it went down quick with knife and fork. Now this New Yorker would say deep Dish is not pizza, butt it was still very good. I would eat here again. read more

We had thin pizza and Chicago style both really good! We also had plain wings. Those where some of the best wings I have ever had! We had garlic bread and unfortunately I didn't care for it because it had red spicy flakes in it. Would definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

Giordano's - Pizza Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Came in with twice two guests for the deep dish. The first time I dropped by, Giordano's was slammed with customers due to it being convention weekend. The line was almost out the door. The staff politely informed me what the wait time would be, and I chose to come back another day to introduce my girlfriend to the deliciousness that is Chicago-style pizza. Giordano's did not disappoint. I had no issues at all with the service during my visit, but I do see a lot of complaints about the service in other reviews, so I do want to make a few comments about that. Deep dish pizza is very thick and takes a long time to cook. It is not fast food. If you are coming by for food in a hurry and the restaurant is busy, deep dish is not a good choice, and you should probably go elsewhere. The interior decor is pleasant and modern, with something of an upscale pub feel. The booths were quite roomy and easily seated four. Six seems doable, but maybe a little tight. The pizza itself was solid, but not just shy of excellent. Thick, filling, and tasty, although the bottom crust was perhaps a little too tough. I left satisfied, as did my two guests, and for less than $10 a person, the value for price was very compelling. The biggest issue I see here is actually that the bathrooms are quite small. One toilet and one urinal in the men's is not enough for a restaurant of this size. Fortunately, when I came by the restaurant was not particularly busy, but I can certainly see capacity being a problem. read more

I was craving some pizza but had to leave Indy. Saw they sold frozen pizza and got a couple to make at home. Got a pepperoni and a sausage. Granted I'm sure it would taste better if I ate it at the restaurant. If you like cheese then this is for you. I like to taste the toppings and this is where it fell short. Loads of cheese and a little bit of toppings. read more

Giordano's - Pizza Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Good service (went early on a Monday) and the pizza was acceptable. I ordered a stuffed deep dish pizza which took about a half hour to arrive, as expected. However, while this is a true Chicago style pizza joint, the flavor or the pizza just wasn't as robust as I was expecting. I am a sauce person and the pizza just didn't have that zippy, robust flavor I was looking for. I would have added more sauce and more flavorful pepperoni and sausage. You could tell all the right ingredients were there, but it didn't quite reach the level I was expecting. So the flavor profile difference could be because Girordano's is more cheese focused than _insert other unnamed famous Chicago pizza joint here_. However, my crust did not come stuffed as I expected either. All in all, decent place for a Chicago deep dish in Indiana, though the real deal is to be found elsewhere. read more

My favorite deep dish place remain's Lou Malnati's. But I'd happily eat here anytime.

After a not so pleasant first try at the Indianapolis location, we decided to give it another try. It had been 8 months since we had been and we had been contacted by management assuring us that our experience was not typical and that they wanted to make it right. After a simple phone call and talking with Bill in management we were seated and from the start we knew we were in for a better experience than the first one. Our server was knowledgeable and pleasant. She was fast and efficient and quite bubbly. The food came fast and fresh and we couldn't find a thing to complain about. The restaurant was quite empty which I'm sure helped but we still enjoyed the visit and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food and the willingness to make things right for us. From start to finish we were extremely satisfied and we most likely will be returning in the future with hopes of another satisfied visit. read more

The service is great at the restaurant. Not only our waiter, but everyone there was super attentive. I think at one time I had two waters. The food was ok. The pizza was an original from Giordano's which included onions, green peppers, and pepperoni. There was TONS of onions and green peppers and a severe lack of pepperoni. For that reason, it won't be a go-to place in my mind. read more

Giordano's - Pizza time! - Pizza Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I know people who always rave about this place, so I decided to try it out and I was pretty disappointed. I ordered it for delivery and while it got here pretty fast, the pizza was disappointing. We decided to splurge since this place is a little expensive (22 after delivery fees for just a medium cheese pizza). Unfortunately, I think I would've gotten a better pizza at a Pizza Hut or Papa John's. The cheese slid off whenever you'd bite into the piece of pick it up. The crust was very cardboard like and the pizza showed up and it was smushed to the side. I was very upset and don't know if I'd order again. read more

The lunch specials are cheap, delicious and filling. The Italian beef sandwich is one of the best I have ever had (second only to Portillos). The lunch deep dish pizzas are also great, though if you have more time and a few more people the normal size ones outshine the personal ones (less dough). The service has always been great too. Super friendly servers. read more

I will always recommend Giordano's to anyone coming into town for a visit. We had guests in town and it is a must each time for visitors. The restaurant is doing carry out orders but also offer frozen pizzas for convenience and health safety. I have to add, the chicken bbq pizza is out of this world! Highly highly recommend. read more

Best Chicago style pizza I've ever had. Superior spinach stuffed pie with perfectly gooey Wisconsin cheese and topped with zesty tomato sauce. The crust was flavorful lite and airy instead of thick and overly heavy like UNO's. Started with a wedge salad to share and a mojito or two. I can't wait to come back to Indy just for Giordano's pizza. read more
