    the front of a restaurant

    About a 1-1.5: Not sure what happened, but Giordano's has been really missing the mark the past few times we've ordered the pizza here. This place has always been our go-to for deep dish, but the past few experiences made us realize that we need to find a replacement, stat! We came here for an earlier dinner, and we ordered: +the Giordano's Sampler - this came with boneless chicken nuggets, mozzarella triangles, and cheesy garlic bread; instead of choosing between the two, both the Buffalo and the BBQ sauce came with for dipping; the chicken nuggets were okay, and the mozzarella triangles were fine; the cheesy garlic bread had a weird green tinge to it - I thought it was just overly burnt bread and the lighting, but something strange was going on with this item; it just did not taste good, and the cheese tasted like toilet water! +a Fresh Spinach deep dish - the pizza seemed to not have come out piping out - it had the string pull, but the pizza was lukewarm as best, and it does get cold quickly, regardless of how quickly you eat your slice; the cheese could have been more melty Service was friendly, and we were checked in constantly throughout; it was to the point where it's like, come on, let us enjoy catching up. We felt as they were trying to turn over the table, but it wasn't a busy night. The booth seating is also extremely tight; the seating are movable, and I feel as if they try to pack as much of these in this part of the dining area and the normal chair-and-table would have been more comfortable. No dice, Giordano's - don't think I'll be visiting you anymore during my Chicago visits! +avoid the sampler +pizza is not piping hot +pressured service +plenty of parking in the private lot

    Deep dish Pizza is the best! Always cooked perfectly with no uncooked dough perfect every time, service was slow

    I've been coming here for years and I've always had a great experience! The food is always delicious, the staff are super friendly, and the restaurant is always clean! My favorite is coming during lunchtime and getting their lunch combo!

    Awful.

    What happened to Giordanos?? Best ever pizza?? Typically, if I wanted Giordanos, I would try the downtown or Rosemont location which have always been consistently delicious. Honestly, I prefer authentic Chicago tavern style pizza from old school pizza places downtown. Sadly, I was in the suburbs but still happy when I saw Giordanos. And due to a keto healthy kick, I do not have pizza often. When I do, I savor it. This particular day, my keto diet didn't suffer. The pizza was awful. I know, is any pizza bad? Usually I would say no. But honestly it wasn't edible. It was truly the worst pizza I have ever had. I feel a little ripped off even. Like taking money and just throwing it away. Which in this economy isn't ideal. Anyway, go to a different location or a different place all together. Or try it and report back- maybe it was an off day. You will see from the photos it looks like they ran out of ingredients. The cheese is usually the best part. Not this time. Sparse cheese on a cheese pizza. Sauce only in the middle towards one side. And I did order the Caesar side salad, always crunchy romaine- this salad was iceberg. A small container off cut up iceberg lettuce- sans the usually amazing parm.

    Amazing stuffed cheese

    I have been eating here for well over 40 years, so its about time to review. 5 stars consistantly, I highly recommend. I have never had a bad experience. I have to say, when ordering online, it never seems to be correct. I've ordered stuffed with half cheese and half mushroom, onion, green pepper and it always seems to be full toppings on the whole thing not half cheese. Whenever this happened, I spoke to management and they were always accommodating and made it right. I now only order on the phone. I've gotten only their pizzas and calamari. I always get, and prefer their stuffed pizza over all, but their thin and extra thin are good also. Cheesy, delicious, goodness consistantly. Calamari was also good, but I wish they had half orders. Thanks Giordanos for the 100 % goodness.

    COVID-19 UPDATED 5/13/21 Only 6 people to a table at a time...You can sit 2 tables of 6 together but with a 3 foot gap between tables. Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes are given in packet form per request. No paper menus, only digital menus. Had the Chicago Special Deep Dish and Thin Crust, and they were both amazing! Also had calamari and a Caesar salad which fed 8 of us with 2 slices of deep dish and 10 slices of thin crust left over.

This is the best Chicago style pizza I've ever had hands down the flavors are there and I must say they don't just stop there as the crust is perfect super crispy flavorful and just too darn good! Combine that with the toppings cheese and sauce it's a pizza that you will start to crave again and again! We went with sausage, meatballs, and onions all of which were super yummy toppings that just hit the spot for this pie to make an incredibly delicious pizza like how can you go wrong! Or server was awesome she was super friendly and talked with us for a bit as we came in the morning she was telling us about Pequod's and her story of working there which was super cool as it made us feel like we were locals with that friendly vibe she put out, she also totally said you need some ranch for this pizza and then she went to get us some and I must say she was right it took something that was already over the top to a next level so shout out to her for saying that! Overall I'll be counting the days tell I get to come back here again for another delicious pizza and I definitely have to say that I really enjoyed this location more than the other one as this one was straight up lowkey in a neighborhood and the vibes just hit a lot harder!

Make sure you read the signs since they can be confusing. Also, they accept any payment except for checks. Do people even bring their checkbooks into restaurants these days? lol. You can dine inside or outside. I believe they have a heated patio outside. We dined inside, it was a shame that we couldn't sit at the booth where Anthony Bourdain's picture is. It was occupied. We ordered cheese curds and a medium sized pizza. For toppings, we chose sausage, mushrooms, and fresh garlic. This is not deep dish pizza, I would say it's more of a pan style. It's not heavy like at Gino's East or Giordano's. It has that famous caramelized crust and that airy dough. The toppings were super fresh. We immediately tasted the garlic. Burt's own special blend of the sausage tasted homemade. If you dine in, they cut it for you. If you take it home, you should already have a pizza cutter in your kitchen. Don't be lazy, it's very inexpensive. The cheese curds were generous and very tasty. They're like bite size mozzarella sticks. Service was great and attentive. Prices were cheap.

The patio was also a really nice touch and a perfect spot to enjoy a meal on a nice day. No wonder Anthony Bourdain called this the only deep dish pizza he ever loved. I would definitely go back.
