Very professional. Food was awesome!! The staff greeted us at the door and we were seated right away. The deep dish pizza was totally worth the wait! It's a smaller place than what I'm used to but cozy. Every time I fly home to visit, I will stop here!!! You must check this location out. It's out in the burbs but trust me when I tell you, it's worth it! read more

Poor service. A beautiful Saturday afternoon, the place is not crowded, we've waited for over an hour for our pizza. Waitress communicated after an hour wait that the pizza was messed up and they needed to start over. #starving #dontea there read more

I decided to try this location again after being reached out to by the gm. I ordered my pizza for delivery and the eta was 7:15. I must admit I was very nervous about trying this again and had a back up plan just in case but my bell rang exactly at 7:15 promptly and the young man that delivered was cordial at the door. Kudos I am glad I gave it another chance. Still won't let my guard all the way down just yet but I had to give this update to let you all know about the complete turn around. read more

Let me start by saying that the management here is terrible! !! This was our third visit and our last. I ordered a pizza at 6:30 and was told it would be 35-55 minutes for a thin crust pizza. At 7:30 the pizza was still not ready and they requested we wait for another 15 minutes. Really!!! This is the third time that this has happened and the management doesn't seem to care that they are losing business. We will not be back. This location is giving the entire chain a really bad name. read more

Giordano's is my favorite deep dish pizza of all time. Yummy! My family and I went to this new location on yesterday for my mother's 57th birthday. God has blessed her!! We had a party of 14. Upon entering the restaurant I asked the associate at the front if they had enough seating for 15 and he assured me they did. They did! We were seated in a timely fashion. After about 15 minutes, Matt(waiter) came over to take our orders. Unfortunately, our whole party hadn't arrived yet. But, he did tell us if we were ordering deep dish to place the pizza order because they take 45 - 50 minutes to cook. So, he put one of our orders in, then Devan(waitress) came to assist us. She was soo sweet. She was patient with us and we were patient with her. She took all of our orders. Since many of us ordered sodas, she suggested bringing us pitchers of soda instead of multiple glasses. We agreed. So, she took all of our orders and stated she would send the bartender over to take liquor orders. Soo, Matt(waiter) came back to take our dinner orders. We told him Devan(Waitress) already took them. We told him, we were waiting for the bartender. He said "that's me." We started laughing because they had poor Matt working double duty. So, as we waited for our pizza we noticed our area becoming a bit chilly. We requested the manager and she turned the heat back up for us. I asked her if they give a free piece of cake or anything for birthdays and she said they only do ice cream. That was great! So, the birthday girl had a double chocolate cake from Portillo's(I brought that in) and ice cream from Gio. We enjoyed our appetizers and pizza. It took a while for our table to be cleared and to get the check. But, we realized again that Matt was still working double duty. Oh! Devan's shift ended and we only had Matt. He did the best he could and all went well. I would definitely try this location out again. The staff was gracious and helpful. Thanks Gio! read more

Could have been much better. I ordered a personal size pizza for pickup and also a Tiramisu for later. When I arrived to pick up my pizza I was told it would be about 5 minutes until it was ready which was fine. While I was waiting I noticed at least 3 workers standing around talking to each other. In general this didn't bother me, but it lends itself to inattentiveness in my opinion. After 5 minutes I noticed no one of the 3 people standing around went back to check on carry-out orders. There were 3 other people who had arrived for carry-out orders and they were told even less time than me and yet even my order had not been brought out. After about 10 minutes one of them goes to the back and finally emerges with a couple of orders. After being given my order I felt like something was wrong, but I had been distracted by the wait time so I ignored it. About 5 minutes away from the restaurant I realized they forgot my Tiramisu. I'm generally understanding when things get forgotten, but when there are that many people standing around there is really no excuse in my mind. It also doesn't seem like there is any kind of system for indicating that carry-out orders are ready to be given to waiting customers. It's sad to think that McDonald's has a better system for managing orders. read more

Unbelievable....took 1 hour to get our food. When we asked the waitress she told us we had to wait for the pizza 45 mins to 1 hr. The gentleman across from us asked about his food and she told him the worked didn't revolve around him. Went and found the manager who apparently didn't care how customers were talked to or treated. Finally got the pizza 1 hour and 10 mins later but never got our ticket and when we went to the counter she just handed us the receipt and walked away leaving us standing they needing a pen to sign cc. Don't waste your r time!!!! read more

The pizza was good, the service was horrible. I received a 20% off coupon for this location and decided to give it a try. I am staying at the hotel across the street and figured delivery would not be a bad thing ( i was wrong). I paid and was told 30 to 40 minute wait for the food to be made (not a problem its a deep dish). Then i was told it would be delivered quickly to my hotel since i am across the street. Two and half hours later i called and was told it was on its way, at hour three the guy arrives. the pizza had congealed due to the grease from the cheese to the paper of the box, so now the bottom is ruined. I tried to use the cutter that was provided and it snapped cutting open my finger. I had high hopes for this place and what i was able to salvage was good but im sorry i cant wait that long and deal with the problems that come with this place. I may one day give it another try. read more

The food was consistently good - if you are willing to wait a while for it. The facility was clean and the staff was very polite. My only issue was the wait time. read more

We were traveling and thought we would get a pizza to go to continue our 6 hour trip. The pizza was to take 45-60 minutes. We thought we would sit down and eat a salad with drinks until our pizza was ready. Evidently, you can only have a table if you are eating pizza there. Spending $30.00 for enough salad and drinks for 6 people until our $33.00 pizza arrives for a total of 63.00 + tips is not worthy of a seat. So, I am standing and the other 5 minors are sitting at the side bar waiting for the pizza. It is 5:00. Only ONE table in the ENTIRE restaurant has anyone in it. I wish I could take a picture and post it. read more

Came in for lunch. Service was quick and Nicky made sure my salad was just the way I wanted it.

I have been a patron of Giordanos my entire life, it being the only pizzeria that I will dine in and enjoy EVERY single time...until today. I came into the Matteson location for the first time expecting the same quality experience I have had since I was a child and it was literally flushed down the drain. The service was beyond disgraceful. The restaurant was half empty so me and my wife figured it'd be nice service considering the setting. We waited 15 minutes for water, we had dirty plates, 30 minutes for appetizers, and a waiter that couldn't remember details to our order... I was extremely disappointed in this establishment and even contemplated walking out, but I wanted to give it a chance since my wife had a bad day and really had a craving for it and we were already here for over an hour. We then finally got our food but vowed to never come back to this location again.. if corporate reads this please do something about it.. it's killing the reputation of my favorite pizzeria and my family's favorite as well and my wife is much more displeased than I am. So please do better. read more

Food is always great. First time at this location. Small and wait was a bit hectic as there really isn't a place to wait, but we made it work. Lisa was wonderful and met our every need. She is awesome!! read more

Come here quite often for lunch. Food is great. And my server Nicky is awesome AS ALWAYS!!!

BUT WHEN I TELL IS THE WORST SERVICE EVER IT IS SPECIALLY THE GIRLS ON THE FRONT DESK RUDE AS EVER AND UNPROFESSIONAL. I don't know or how the manager let them get away with this remember who pays your pay check we do as a customer because we out us you ain't getting pay. So today I went to pick the pizza we order we requested plate and packs of cheese and red pepper the girl with short curly black hair skinny and light sling to be exact got an attitude when I told her I requested plates and cheese/pepper hands be everything but throws the packs and she just said ooopps I ask her can I get more pack (she only gave me 2) i told her I don't care if I have to pay extrA for it gave me an attitude as well I got upset because I am pay for something and I am expecting to be treated nicely I also told her you guys have the worst customer service which you guys do until you guys proof me wrong . Let me tell you something I get better service at Pizza Hut buying a $10 pizza and at little Ceasars $5 pizza that here with you guys buy a $30 pizza. Overall onces again I am not pleased specially with the service read more

Had an amazing birthday here with the waitress named Nikki. The food was amazing and Nikki made sure everyone was happy and everything was well. read more

Right after I wrote this review, the manager called me and apologized for the incident the next day. Also the general manager wrote to me as well. I'm glad that they listened to my complaint. Because they reached out to me, I might reconsider returning because about a good 90% of the time they are on point. read more

Our visit before last was a bad experience, however, this last time was great! The food was very good again, but this time the service was too!! Our server was very friendly and attentive and if the other servers/bus boys saw dirty dishes or an empty glass they offered to help us as well. All in all I was very pleased! read more

Today was the Grand Opening of a 5day test...I too was alittle upset at first at how long it took for my order but after speaking with the manager, I totally understood. She was very apologetic and my pizza was really worth the wait. The best that I have had in a long time. I saw what T Yvette wrote and I just want to say give them a break...this is the Grand Opening week and if you would have saw how long the line was, you would understand. Bottom line, the food is GREAT...very fresh...and well worth it. read more

Giordano's is a Chicago tradition, yes. I loved the place when I lived in Hyde Park. But, this new one in Matteson, IL looks great but ABSOLUTELY terrible service. On 4/11/15 my family of 4 came in - noticed that it was crowded (actually a big cluster f!$k) to be more accurate ...no hostess or organization at all. We waited 7 minutes to talk to the "order taker". After placing a simple order for a medium pizza and an order of wings (at 4pm) we were told to comeback to pick the order up at 6pm. TWO HOURS for 1 pizza and wings. They actually thought that we should hold our appetites and hunger for two hours...ridiculous and unprofessional. Please hire an entirely new crew because the people that are there are incompetent!!! We enjoyed the 30 minute wait and food at Pizza Hut down the street. Giordano's over the top - for just pizza, wings, etc. THUMBS DOWN - for now...hopefully they will correct their crew and service or suffer being in the red. read more

Called to place order. Message said use the Internet. Went to the Internet where they said they weren't open. Called them back and got put on hold for 8 minutes. When they picked me up from hold they told me I could pick my order up in one hour And 20 minutes. sanfratellos Tinley Park got my order. Good luck giordanos. read more

We tried this location for the first time tonight. It is really nice inside, and the staff was very friendly. Our waitress recommended the Bruschetta, which was the best we ever had. It looked and smelled amazing and tasted even better. We then had the stuffed spinach pizza which was awesome. The rest rooms were very nice and immaculate. We will definitely be returning to this location. read more

Waitress she was very nice and tried her best to fix situation . How ever manager Tony terrible very unprofessional didn't seem to care that my order cost over $40.00 I ordered deep dish spinach pizza it had no spinach even waitress could not find. All he said was we weigh is somewhere in it after we waited already over hour only option he gave was another pizza and a longer wait or $2.50 off not a very professional manner as he stooped down on floor when he came to table and just looked at me till I said yes. read more

Food tasted great but I need to give shout out to our server Nicki. Our daughter was having some major back trouble the day we are here. She insisted on helping to walk her to the car in pouring rain! I'd say that's way above and beyond! read more

Mrs.Nikki was AWSOME! I love Giordano's Pizza and she came spoke had conversations with me and my family and even told us about a few delectable dishes! The food was excellent customer service was outstanding and the people are great COME HERE FOR YOUR FOOD! read more

The Giordano in the city taste a lot better, but this location taste awful and let's not even start with the service. The service was rude, like many other commented. I wish the the next time I come back they woul fix the issue. I love eating at Giordano, but I guess I would have to go to the city. read more

I see negative reviews here and just thought I should leave a positive one. My family mostly orders for pick up. They have always been spot-on and on time. Very courteous staff. The times we have dined in we've had a great experience. The wait staff went out of there way to help my wife and I who obviously have our hands full with two little kids. Oh and great Chicago deep dish as well! read more

Nicky is my waitress every time I come in and she's awesome. My son and I enjoy our time together when we stop in for lunch!

Save yourself the agony and drive to another location. This establishment got my order wrong, on multiple occasions, and when they did correct it, the crust was burnt black (literally). read more

My large thin crust pizza had barely any sauce. I'm a stickler for at least a decent amount of sauce on pizza, and I couldn't find it on my thin crust. Other than not enough sauce, it was tasty, just not as tasty as it could have been. read more

If it was possible to give a negative rating I would. I was told my order would be delivered in 1.5 hours it has been more than 3 and I still am unable to get an order status. I have been placed on hold over 10 times. This location gives a bad name to all the wonderful locations in Chicago. I will never order from this place again. read more

Borderline FRAUDULENT. Order a Southside Italian beef with fries $9.25 and a piece of "Layer Cake" $6.25. Took an hour and a half to arrive. The cake is described on their website as "A big slice with vanilla ice cream and Ghirardelli chocolate sauce" LOLLLLLL... The ice cream came in one of those little cups you normally get a side of ranch in, the slice of cake was TINY. I really feel ripped off considering after delivery and tax it cost me $21.98 and then another 5$ i should NOT have given to the driver. I will never order from another Giordano's as long as i live and ill make sure to bring up my experience to anyone considering. read more

I had to call 4x's (6pm-7:30pm) to get through to oder for delivery for the Giordano's in Matteson, Illinois. The calling in service super sucks! If you're trying to eat at a decent time don't waste your time with this location. The telephone system doesn't indicate that business is open & that they're experiencing a heavy call volume. Once I was able to get through I had to get extremely persistent to speak with a manager. The manager was slightly abrupt but I was able to express my concerns. He did afterwards comp the meal, However he stated that since he doesn't ring on the registrar he would have to put me back on hold....I held for 35 more mins, someone finally picked up the call, she announced that they were closed & that my call had to be transferred. WHAT!! SO I WAITED ANOTHER 10 MINS. Long story short, when I was finally addressed after confirming my dish, I was told it would be another 1 hr for delivery. When the delivery arrived 1hr & 20 mins later, the delivery person was confused as to how I should pay ( he was not told the meal was comp) & to top it off he dropped the meal. thank goodness it was intact in a bag! Just when I felt nothing else could go wrong with this experience. .. the meal wasn't warm! & it wasn't what I ordered !! The broccoli was missing from the Fettuccine Chicken Alfredo. The moral of this story is, if you have plans to eat a meal in a decent reasonable time...Don't eat at Giordano's in Matteson, Illinois read more

Where do I begin? I've been loyal to Giordano's since I was a child. My parents would always take us to the Cicero location and the food and service would be amazing! As an adult, I've visited different locations and always left with a pleasant experience. HOWEVER, today I visit the Matteson location (which is the closest location to me) and was terribly disappointed. This was my 5 year old's first time and I was sad that this was his first experience. There were only two tables occupied when we got there. Our order took over an hour to come out. The waitress was fussy and rude. She got upset when I asked for a kid's menu. She said "I already told you everything on it." I told her that I wanted to see prices and she said, "you could have just asked. " What's wrong with wanting a menu??? There were several unwarranted exchanges throughout the course of our visit. We will drive the extra 30 minutes to get to the Cicero location going forward. We will NEVER be back and will NEVER recommend this location. *on a brighter note: the guy who brought out our order was VERY friendly (hence the 1-star). I didn't get his name but those few minutes of interaction were very pleasant and reminiscent of the Giordano's experience. read more

We have ordered from Giordano's in Matteson Numerous times since it has opened and had very good experiences until last night. Ordered a pizza last night at 4:20 pm for pick up. Was told that it would be one hour until the pizza would be ready. Arrived at giordano's at 5:25. After waiting for 5 minutes, we were told that our pizza would be another 15 minutes. Finally at 5:50, our pizza still was not done. At this point many people had been in and out of the restaurant and gotten their pizzas, yet there was us, and two other people waiting for our pizzas for one and a half hours. When asking people who were coming in for pick up and receiving their pizzas how long ago they ordered, we received answers of 45 minutes to one hour. I hate to make this accusation, but everyone coming in and receiving their pizzas right away were of a certain race while those waiting for over 1.5 hours were of another. Maybe it is possibly just a coincidence, but if not this is a poor way to do business and I will no longer be bringing my business to Giordano's. From now on I will go to Beggar's. read more

I was very disappointed in my service this evening. After waiting 20 minutes for a server to even first come to my table I then waited over an hour for my food. I understand that my deep dish might take longer than 30 minutes to cook, but in that hour my waitress only came by once to ask if we were okay. That was it. This service was so poor the staff looked like chickens with their head cut off. Waiters didn't know table numbers and never carried a pen and paper to take our order. This was the worst service I have ever received and I recommend all to just order take out instead. My friends and I are all under 18 and they almost gave us alcohol because they don't know their tables. Ladaris is horrible. She asked us if we wanted water and we of course said yes because we didn't have anything to drink for 20 minutes and it took another twenty minutes. Keep in mind that the restaurant is not full whatsoever. Horrible horrible service. I only rated this one star because I have to, the service deserved much less than that. read more

the pizza was absolutely delicious and the service was great! our waitress nicki was nice and made us laugh non stop. couldn't have been more pleased with our visit read more

Well I am familiar with the great taste of the pizzas at Giordano's so now that my town of Matteson has one I am quite happy. The reason for my low rating is due to the fact that this restaurant wasted my valuable time. I ordered online and paid and received email confirmation of my order. Pickup time was for 6:45 and I arrived at 7pm. The staff took my name and I stood and waited to get the pizza. 10 to 15 minutes later I'm still waiting. Then I hear my name and the staff comes to me and tells me that the manager informed him that one of the ingredients for my pizza is out and would I like to replace it...soooooo pizza was not even made! I just got refund and left. Within 40 minutes got delicious pizza from Beggars! I won't say I won't ever go back but I certainly won't order online. Why have such a set up that takes your name, email, and phone number yet they can't touch base with you in such cases where you should be contacted before coming to pick up what's not there. read more

Due to a job transfer, we moved to the area last year. Shortly after the relocation, we learned that a new Giordano's was opening in Matteson. We were excited to have one close by. But we quickly learned this location was nothing like the others. Since day 1 we've had problem after problem. First pizza ordered tasted like someone accidentally poured salt all over it. We chalked it up to it being a new restaurant. Waited and tried again. 2nd time trying ... was told pizza would take an hour. Two hours later, after coming back 3 times to see if the pizza was finally done, we ended up going to Beggars in Mokena. Since then I tried delivery (a few times) ... again, didn't work. I ordered the pizza online, was given a time it should be delivered, and EVERY time it was late. VERY late. I was told (more than once) that delivery wasn't a priority. That the people who were there staring them in the face was the priority. When I complained I was told they were short on delivery drivers. My response ... then why offer delivery? After this we've ordered a couple of times, picking up the pizza. And each time ... overcooked pizza, long wait times, and very poor customer service. Although, there was one girl (can't remember her name) who was very nice. I should also mention that with those delivery orders, the manager I spoke with (a guy) tried to be accommodating. He offered a free pizza for one delivery mishap, but by that time I had already had enough of Giordano's and the delivery excuses. Other times speaking with a manager (a female), she was of no help at all. In fact, she was the worst. Combative ... unapologetic ... just awful! So to sum it up ... no more Giordano's for us. If we ever get pizza from a Giordano's again, it won't be this location. read more
