I posted in March about the sorry experience my wife and I had here on a weekday just after lunch. We were the only customers at the time, and one of the waitresses was complaining loudly about how much that place sucked. Our order took about an hour. My pizza was stone cold. We moved to the bar area to avoid her lamentations. The manager caught my review and promised to make things right thru private email. No response. There are so many great places on Indy. Don't waste your time here! read more

The Best Pizza Highly recommended, must try if you are in town! Deep Dish Stuffed legitimate, street cread

Let me start by saying: I'm from Texas, not Chicago. To me, this pizza is awesome. My friend from TX came to visit and we HAD to go to Giordanos so I could introduce him to deep dish. I've know people from Chicato who scoff at this pizza because it is apparently not the same but as far as I'm concerned, its filled with gooey cheese, the crust is crispy, and the prices are reasonable. Our waiter was friendly but made a few mistakes, including putting the order in wrong for one person at our table. Since the pizzas take 40' to make, this was kinda a big deal since we all waited, while our pizzas got cold, for the order to be fixed. The place did give us a free appetizer and didn't charge that person for her pizza so I appreciate that. The personal pizza is plenty of food for one person and the bruschetta app is very tasty and good while you wait for the deep dish. I'd recommend you at least give this place a shot, as it is still very tasty and not expensive read more

Giordano's - Deep dish personal with olives - Pizza Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

If I could give a zero star I would. Giordano's should not offer delivery service. We ordered a pizza at 11:30am today to be delivered at 5:30pm for the first game of the final four. This order was lost not once but twice. We feel like Gabriela should be fired. She is completely incompetent. The management is ineffective. I would not recommend delivery and do not plan on returning to Giordano's. read more

Wow wow wow!!!!! This is true Chicago pizza in Indy!!! I can not say enough about Giordano's. Hands down best deep dish pizza I have ever had a go at. We had a basic pie with cheese, sausage, pepperoni and I am truly blown away by the quality of the pizza. Keep in mind this is Chicago style so if you like the super thin stuff this is not for you. The basic pizza is about 3 inches thick. read more

A co-worker and I ordered pizza here the other night for lunch, we work 12 hour shifts overnight. The first thing I'll say is the delivery service needs some work as I've seen in other reviews. We ordered the pizza at 8:00 PM to be delivered at 10:00 PM and we didn't get the pizza till 10:00 PM. My co-worker waited outside for 45 minutes waiting on the pizza. That said, I was going to give a three star review but the pizza was too good. The Stuffed Deep Dish Pizza is delicious. The wings were OK, nothing special. The pizza made up for the poor delivery service. We will be ordering this again sometime. If the service is poor again will probably drop the review. Next time we order we will order it as soon as possible, to try and avoid the problem with delivery. read more

We ate here during GenCon 22 this last weekend. The food was great, my friend enjoyed his pizza, I had the chop salad. I am always hesitant at a restaurant to get something that is not what the restaurant is known for, but the salad was delicious. The wait to seat went quickly, and unlike other restaurants they didn't take our phone number, they just called out when we were to be seated. It appeared that they may have been short waiters, as the manager(s) were running food as well. Either way, the food was great. My ONLY complaint was the fact that while we waited, we were right by the host stand, the young men who were busboys hung out at the host stand with the host (who was also one of the young men, but working) and seemed to be just goofing off and giggling. As busy as they were, I thought maybe they could be doing SOMETHING to expedite whatever was happening. Not the management, not my circus, not my monkeys, but the appearance that they had time to goof around was a bit annoying since we were waiting for 30 minutes. Great GREAT food read more

It was shopping first then dinner/OMG!!! Best pizza EVER!!! We LOVED it here last night!!!

Best pizza and great service. Noelle was super sweet and attentive. It was our first time at Giordano's as well first time in Indy. She gave us a run down of the menu, checked on us several times and informed us on the wait times of our deep dish. Once it was ready, she served us our first slice! Not sure if that was a thing of the restaurant or her doing, but that was awesome and we like that, lol. I must say everything we order was really good... from the pizza fries to the salad and of course the famous deep dish! I can't wait to go back and try more items from the menu. read more

Best Chicago-style pizza on the planet. Have to drive for hours to get it and it's worth it every time.

The food here is great as always - if you can get it! Service terrible. After the standard wait time of 45 min, we were told it's going to take another 30 minutes. 25 minutes later, we are told gluten free pizza is not available. Thanks for all the great management and service. read more

Ordered the meatballs for starters.... yum! Cocktails were good! But the deep dish meat and more meat pizza was absolutely delicious! Worth the 45 minute wait. I would return in a heartbeat!!!!!! read more

Oh my... so it was around 9pm on a Saturday night and we were starving after attending the super cross at the arena. The one waitress was so polite, she had one pizza and they were closing the doors because they I assume had no more food! Not sure exactly what happened, but she felt bad for us and boxed up the pizza, just one with pepperoni and sent us on our way . Best pizza! Could only have one and a half pieces because it was so filling! took it home to Ohio and had the rest for dinner the next night. Wherever they are, GO! It s a must have for any pizza lover. read more

Good stuff no matter what city you're in. Keep in mind that as consistent as they are in various locations the 45 minute wait to make the pizza still holds true. Impressed how good the salad was. The dessert? Well let's not go there. I'm still trying to find out what the myself product in the cookie was. read more

I am not a huge pizza person so when my group of friends decided that this is where we were going for dinner I wasn't that excited... but I'm here to tell you that I was surprised. We ordered a family style house salad and it was perfect. I loved that we could share it amongst four people pretty evenly. We then ordered a large BBQ chicken pizza and OMG was I wrong to not be excited. This pizza had so many layers of flavors. It was by far the most delicious BBQ chicken pizza I've ever had. The cheese and sauce and chicken were all to die for. I'm pretty sure I had two slices and let's be honest, that should be illegal. Lol But needless to say it has made its way on my crave list and I will be back. read more

To be honest I think if you pack a ton of cheese on top of anything cover it with sauce and meat it's gonna be pretty good. I've dined at Giordano's before in Chicago and it's pretty good, but to be honest with you I'm still a Lou Malnati's guy. Ordered the meat and more meat, since we knew it was going to be a while ordered an app to keep the old people and yutes sated. Got the sampler platter, fried mozzarella and boneless wings were the winners of the group. 30 minutes later out comes the pie, deep dish delish, everybody was happy no doughy spots and the crust held up through the next day leftovers. As stated by others the place is nice our server was great it just doesn't have the Chicago swag feel to it. Don't let that detour you though if your hankering for the deep dish love you need. Chicago born and raised I'm happy it's here, I'll hit this up again to see if anything changes. read more

First time here food was amazing. Our server Ella went above and beyond in making our experience exceptional. She was cheerful and explained every with enthusiasm. read more

I will give it the benefit of the doubt, because this review is based on the carryout. First of all, I was pretty excited to get this because the deep dish pizza sounded really good and I really wanted cheese. I've only been to Chicago once before and I remember this is where we ate and loving it. The location of this place is nice and the restaurant itself is very cute. I love the big lit marquee up on the wall that says "eat pizza" in all capital letters. It's got a nice gray and red theme throughout the place and overall it's cute. The pizza itself...was not as cute. The hostess working the carryout seemed like she really hated her job and didn't want to be there. Perhaps, it was just a bad day, so I understand and let it go. However, the lackadaisical attitude was very noticeable. The pictures on the website of the pizza made it look really cute, cheesy to the core and pepperonis on top. The pizza I got was lopsided, half way burnt, not a lot of cheese and had the pepperonis on the bottom. Also, it really seemed premade as if they had them ready to go frozen and threw it in a microwave. The salad was the most confusing part. It had this awful bitter taste. I looked through to see what vegetables were being used, but I couldn't find anything that would give it that taste. It was your basic greens, some old and wrinkly tomatoes and too much fennel. At first I thought it was onion with a severely underwhelming lemon vinaigrette. I would give another shot, but I won't be ordering as carry out and I will only get a big pizza because I would hope they'd have to make that fresh in the restaurant. read more

Super fast lunch service. Great Chicago style pizza. Very reasonably priced lunch portions. Very clean and great service

Decided to be tourists in our own town due to the weather and ended up at the Hilton on Market directly across from Giordano's. We placed an order to go, walked around for a bit, and came back to pick up our order. Unfortunately, a previous patron walked away with our pizza and left his on the counter. The hostesses, cashiers, servers, and the manager Nolan, offered me that pizza (which had toppings that my family wouldn't eat), AND my cheese pizza that they were making on the fly at no charge. As an Operator myself, I'm very familiar with the pressure that is placed on any venue on a weekend shift especially downtown with conventions in town. Nolan insisted on comping our meal, and even walked it outside to me in the rain. Stand up business and above and beyond customer service right here in the heart of Indianapolis. Kudos to the Giordano's Downtown Indianapolis Team! read more

Why 3 stars? Went on a quiet Thursday lunch trip and overall was not to bad of an experience. Service was not bad but not memorable. Place was clean, but my issue was that even though the food was all cooked nice it really lacked seasoning. We tried deep dish, thin crust, chicken parm sandwich and some cheese triangles (sticks). All same result. Have tried other locations of this spot and don't recall that being an issue. Maybe it was just one of those days. read more

Lots of food. Enjoyed the great selection of brews on tap, including some local one. I had cheesy garlic bread and vegetarian lasagna. Homemade marinara was on point. Servings are outrageous! Can we say family style all together ? read more

This had all of the flavor we expected with a hip location. The crust was so expertly made to support the hefty pie, it was perfection.

Went on a Friday. Pizza was excellent, but very greasy. Service was merely ok. Lady took our drink order, brought drinks, served first slice of pizza, and brought the bill. In all fairness, the hostess openly disclosed a 35/45 minute wait for a pizza. That was nice. Wine was awful. Order something else. read more

Had the best experience ever at Giordano's!! Manager Nolan and Server Devonie were amazing. My colleague and I came to dinner while in a business trip and treated us with amazing hospitality. Definitely made our trip from LA to Indy a great time. Great place for dinner after a long day at work! Highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner, we will be coming back this week before our trip is over. Had a delicious chopped salad and meatball marinara sandwich read more

Giordano's - Pizza Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I highly recommend this restaurant for those of you who are Italian/pizza lovers! A classy restaurant with good food for an affordable price. As soon as you walk in you feel like you are at a fancy restaurant, but at the same time get a warm and family-friendly feeling. It is the perfect medium! I loved the letters on the back wall that lit up and spelled pizza. The red and white décor gave you that Italian feel as you dined. If you go after the lunch crowd but before the dinner crowd there is no wait at all. The hostess was very welcoming but she did not ask if we preferred a booth or a table, which is an extra but earns bonus points in my mind. We ended up sitting at a table by the window which was a nice entertainment channel as people passed by, so things worked out. There were so many good options to choose from on the menu. I decided to start out with the potato fritters, which taste just as good as they sound. Dipped in ranch, they are the perfect start to a meal! Then I got a salad and a meatball sub. Those were both delicious as well. The meatball sub was intimidating at first but I tackled it and it was delicious. The person I went with got an individual pizza which looked/tasted good but it did take 20-minutes to cook. You are warned when you order it though that it will be a while so that is nice. Our waitress was very attentive during the meal making sure our beverages were always full/we had everything we needed/ it tasted good, but when it came time for us to check out and leave we waited a good 30-minutes to complete this process which was a huge negative. This was the only downfall to our experience. Overall I give Giordano's a B+. Had our wait not been so long at the end it would have been an overall great experience. read more

No thanks. The crust on the personal deep dish was not edible. Way too hard. Service was even more stiff. Shouldn't hurt to smile or be nice at all. Ugh UPDATE: responded to comment from them about this post & big surprise, no response back from them. read more

I mean what more can you say? This is arguably the best pizza place around! The deep dish does take about 40-45 minutes to cook (but worth the wait). I brought my mother here visiting out of town and a big pizza critic, always has something to say about the sauce: to sweet, to wet, to meaty, to salty... and that's just the sauce i will spare you about the bread and cheese. Needless to say I was very excited to see her thoughts on Giordano's. We started off with some appetizers, and got the mozzarella squares. I thought they were good had some good breading thought I wish it had just a bit more mozzarella. My mom loved them also and informed the waitress we would be back for more of this this week. We waited for our pizza to be baked. The pizza, we got the Parmesan crusted medium cheese pizza and from the first bite it had both my mom and I dying and falling in love, each bite you get the nuttiness from the Parmesan on the entire bottom of the pizza and the top of the crust, then you get the tomato sauce with the finish of the mozzarella cheese. This place is amazing and I couldn't say more! read more

BEST DEEP DISH PIZZA EVER. I came here with my dad last weekend. We had a reservation but we got there shortly after 5 pm, so there wasn't a wait anyways. We were seated quickly and the waitress was very attentive and sweet. She informed us that the pizza takes 35-45 minutes so we sat and talked as we ate our delicious Greek side salads and waited. The pizza was amazing. The cheese oozes out and it so thick. The sauce is extremely fresh and you can clearly taste fresh spices and herbs. The crust is crunchy and thick which I loved. I would 110% return to eat more of this terrific pizza. Highly recommend! read more

This was my first visit to a Giordano's outside of the Chicago area and it was the same experience you get in Chicago! There's no higher praise I can offer. The decor is industrial. Service was great. We went on a Friday night after a movie downtown. It was mostly, but not entirely full. We were seated quickly and ordered right away since the stuffed pizzas take 40 minutes. We had a BBQ Chicken pizza and a sausage pepperoni pizza, both small deep dish pizzas. They were great! They offer sandwiches, pasta, and salad in addition to the famous pizzas. read more

Giordano's was highly recommended by relatives and friends. Although not the original Giordano's from Chicago, I am glad I was able to visit while in Indiana. Ordered the Chicago deep dish, it was good. Giving it a 3 star simply because the customer service was curt, the waitress was clearly rushed, and our meal came out room temperature (not warm nor piping hot as expected). Will I be returning in the near future? Maybe... Canoli's were okay. read more

The place was great! It was clean and service was prompt. The waitress explained how long it would take to cook the deep dish pizza....like 45 min, BUT it was so worth it! I see the reviews are mixed but in our experience it was great. I will go back next time I visit Indy. read more

Nothing special. Pizza was bland, under cooked and lacking in toppings. Very over priced for what you get.

The food was pretty good and the staff was friendly. It was a good family friendly place to watch the basketball game on the large screen TVs. The food is kind of slow coming out. It took 45 minutes for a deep dish pizza. But it was made fresh and the waitress did warn us about the cook time. So if you have time, good place to eat. read more

Eating it is an undertaking, but its definitely best deep dish place in Indy

Rating out of 10: 8 There is a religious war when it comes to deciding the best Chicago style deep dish pizza. I have always been on the side of Giordano's, but I never get to eat it since I don't travel to Chicago often. I discovered while in Indy that they have a location, so I practically ran there for dinner with a friend. I had never eaten anything other than pizza there before, but the calamari sounded different so decided to try it out. It had, in addition to the calamari, green beans, lemon rings, banana peppers, and shaved fennel all deep fried together. It made for a nice combination of flavors and was quite delicious. I am a carnivore at heart and love a meaty pizza, so we went with the Meat & More Meat Stuffed Deep Dish Pizza, which has pepperoni, sausage, salami, and bacon. It takes a while to prepare (part of why we got the app to hold us over), but boy was it worth the wait. The pizza is a work of art, with thick slices oozing cheese and housing amazing tomato sauce and meat piled several inches high, awaiting to be conquered by your mouth. It was oh so delicious, and I left stuffed. There is really nothing like Giordano's, and I was so excited to be able to have it outside of Chicago. read more

Awful... it's bad enough they were 50 MINUTES LATE ON A CARRY OUT order, but no one would even look at me or even give me an update, even though they knew they messed up. They'll probably do fine because it's pizza in a great location, but I will never come here again. There's some basic customer service minimums. After I had asked the bartender to check on our order twice, he came back after the 3rd time and said it was already at the hostess counter. Then, he proceeded to inform me that's why I needed to check in with them. I had already done that an hour ago, and he just walked away at that point. Awesome! Seriously, go anywhere else but this place. I'm literally rooting for this place to fail. read more

Had a bad experience at the hard rock the night before we decided to try Giordanos having grown up in Chicago G's is like going home for me ...and I was not disappointed! The servers were nice , the apps came out quickly and hit, the pizza was spot on. If I had one suggestion it would be around drinks I wanted a drink but the menu only showed beer and wine, I did not realize they had a bar until we were leaving wish there had been a drink menu or the server would have mentioned it read more

This was my favorite place we have eaten at this week. The only negative is how long it took for us to get our food. The waitress we had was either new or just not very good. Slow on refilling drinks or even making eye contact as she walked by so we could get her attention. But we would still eat there again because the food was that good and worth the wait read more

You don't have to be in Chicago to get Giordanos - and I was happy about that! While walking in downtown Indy to explore, out of the corner of my eye I thought I had seen the orange writing and had to go closer to find out that I indeed did! I was super excited and of course we went in to have dinner. We were seated immediately and in front of a TV for football. Our server was great, friendly, and very attentive. We ordered their garlic bread with dipping sauce, a pizza to share, a few beers and a soda. All came out in a timely manner, hot, fresh and cold if need be. We did have leftovers so they boxed it up for the drive home and gave us drinks to go without us even asking. What a great ending to our visit in Indy! read more
