Sherwin C.

When Chicagoans mention deep dish pizza, Gioradano's is often mentioned in many people's top lists. As compared to other options, Giordano's is one of the more straightforward options - generally quite meaty and cheesy and with a bready crust. This is in contrast to some other options which may have garlicky or buttery crusts, caramelization, unusual toppings, etc. Giordano's can appeal to a wide variety of people looking for a more straightforward pizza experience. The menu here is fairly classic for a chicago pizza joint with a standard set of starters, salads, italian entrees, and desserts. Pizza is offered in thin and deep dish, with mostly sausage, mushroom, onion, green pepper, pepperoni, chicken, and spinach variations. There is a wider variety of items available for make your own options, but the specials are a bit limited in the combinations offered. The interior has more of a traditional pizza joint type of vibe, with decor to make diners feel like they've been transported back several decades. The pizzas themselves are fairly large so you don't necessarily need an appetizer, however it can take 40-50 minutes to prepare a deep dish, so ordering a Giordano's sampler is a good way to keep the table from getting too hungry while waiting. In general, the pizzas have a fairly thick layer of tomato sauce that isn't too bold (letting the toppings shine a little more), the cheese is fairly thick, and crust is bready and a little crunchy. For me, I find that these pizzas are probably best for those looking to get a sub sandwich in a pizza form, but may not meet the bolder flavor expectations that you'll find from many of the national pizza chain locations. With that said though, I also think that Giordano's works well for those looking for a less greasy, not overly spiced or herbed choice, where you can enjoy more of the simple combination of dough, cheese, and tomato sauce without an excessive amount of other ingredients to distract from the experience. Overall, a good choice if you're a deep dish or Chicago pizza lover. This is one of the spots that is important to try in your journey of Chicago Pizza tourism.

Pretty good deep dish pizza. Especially the dough and cheese, freshness is good. A bit of problem I have with the pizza is that, it was supposed to be meat and more meat but I can't tell the meat I was eating from the taste.

Deep dish pizza is a must tourist stop in Chicago, you just need to plan ahead because this isn't "fast" food. I planned for an hour and placed an order for pick up. I ordered a personal 6" pizza with my own combo of toppings. It was perfect. Deep dish with great cheese stretchiness. Flavor was just what I wanted. I carried out but staff was friendly and restaurant was clean.

I have been to Chicago twice before and never got chance to try their "famous deep dish pizza". This time we visited our friends and i asked if we can have deep dish pizza, and the first meal we went to was Giordano's pizza... this is definitely my favorite pizza now, as the crust was so crispy that it reminded me of samosa cover and definitely pizza and toppings add to the crust. Four of us ordered Medium size half and half ... it was very much sufficient to us and we enjoyed it! Another check mark in my food bucket list #foodie #deepdishpizza #giordanospizza #pizza #chicagodeepdishpizza

Deep dish? Absolutely pathetic. Less than half an inch of cheese. We literally ate it with our hands. The other was supposed to be a veggie pizza and it's straight olives. Should have gotten Lou's

This was found in my deep dish pizza. It was a deep dish with green peppers and mushrooms. And somehow a chunk of mud was added.

There was a chunk of mud found in my pizza. Please see the picture. Mgmt refunded me and offered to remake my order, but I had zero appetite at that point.

House salad (entree size)

My parents and I came here around 7:30 PM on a Saturday night. We waited around 30 minutes before we were seated. While waiting we were given the opportunity to preorder our deep dish in the back. Each deep dish takes around 35-40 minutes so once we were seated we just had to give the server a receipt of our preorder and we got our pizza back much quicker than having to wait another 30 minutes. Apart from the pizza that we preordered we also ordered an entree sized house salad. Though the lettuce and tomatoes of the salad were very fresh there was just not enough in the salad, it felt overpowered by the lettuce. The dressing also felt a bit lacking in the salad, would have been nice to be able to pick out the dressing. As for the pizza, the toppings were a good mixture and the flavor was good (We got The Special) but the dough was just lacking. It was not very well cooked towards the bottom and the crust itself was way too dry. It also didn't feel completely heated all the way through. On the plus side, the service was great. The server was very friendly and worked very quickly and the host was also very friendly as well. Pro: -Friendly and quick service -Preorder pizza option for faster service -Flavor Con: -Not well cooked pizza dough -Long wait

Ravioli

They know how to make a deep dish, alright. Although, they call it "stuffed pizza pie" instead of deep dish...has it always been that way? I ate so much Giordano's deep dish when I worked downtown that I got sick of it. Ah, the downside to gorging on your favorite food. I stayed away from Giordano's for a while and finally went back when a rest.com coupon for it fell into my lap. They still know how to make a deep dish pizza, but it's so hard for me to finish a whole slice. I did discover that they make pretty good ravioli, too! Our waitress was fast and friendly. These stuffed pizzas take a while to make, so we called ahead to place our order for dine in. Smarts.

Deep Dish Day!

My favorite Italian spot in Naperville! Definitely check it out if you're in the area. We came for…read moredinner, and there's both outdoor seating and a ginormous interior with plenty of tables. It's definitely a good spot for larger groups. Our server was also super knowledgeable about the menu and walked us through which pastas and pizzas were the most popular, which ones were seasonal, and which ones get rotated out. I really appreciated the recommendations because there were so many things I wanted to try. We ordered: - Short rib gnocchi: The short rib was extremely tender and basically disintegrated as soon as you touched it. The gnocchi paired really well with it too. - BBQ chicken pizza: We ordered both the Margherita pizza and BBQ chicken and I would definitely get the BBQ chicken again. The sauce had the perfect amount of tanginess and savory flavor without overpowering the pizza. - Chicken parmigiana: Don't skip this! The chicken had the perfect amount of savory flavor and worked so well with the tomato sauce and vodka rigatoni. This ended up being one of my favorites of the meal. I was so glad we were able to order and try so many different dishes. This is definitely a family-style kind of spot, so if you come with a larger group, you'll get to try a lot more options. Already looking forward to coming back and trying more of their rotating dishes!

3-Star Review - Gia Mia…read more The food and overall experience were worth recommending, but unfortunately, our first interaction with the hostess/greeter was disappointing. The Hispanic woman with long hair who greeted us seated us at a table right by the entrance. We politely asked if another table was available because we preferred not to sit directly in the path of people coming in and out. She rolled her eyes and walked away without saying a word. When another table finally became available, she brought us over, and we both thanked her about twice. She wouldn't even look at us or acknowledge our thanks and simply walked away. Her attitude came across as very rude and unwelcoming, and it left a bad first impression. On the other hand, our waitress was wonderful! She was kind, polite, and welcoming, and she did an excellent job throughout our experience. She deserves recognition for her great service. I would still recommend Gia Mia, but I hope management addresses the importance of hospitality with the greeting staff. The hostess is often the first person customers interact with, and unfortunately, this experience made us feel unwelcome before we even had a chance to enjoy our meal. Everyone deserves to be treated with courtesy and respect, especially when making a simple, polite request. It would have been 5 stars if it weren't for that first interaction!

Fiamme, on Washington is a comfortable Italian restaurant…read more There is a tiny parking lot - the size of a postage stamp. Be prepared to park in the street. The staff is helpful and attentive. The menu is not huge; but You will find what you need.

Came to Fiammé for a business dinner. I started with one of their mules, which was pretty decent,…read morejust a standard mule. We also shared the arancini as an appetizer. I've had some really great arancini before, and these were alright. The sauce was the highlight, with a nice flavor and a slight kick to it. We were told the pizzas were personal-sized, so everyone in our group ordered their own. When they arrived, they were huge. I went with the Fredo, a more traditional-style pizza, and it was pretty solid with good toppings and flavor. Others at the table ordered the Detroit-style pizzas, and they looked incredible, I wish I had taken some photos. The general consensus was that the pizzas were a bit too bready, but they had good flavor, great presentation, and a nice crispy crust. Service was okay. It took a while for our server to take our order, and I wish we had been advised to share a few pizzas instead of ordering individually. We all ended up taking most of our pizzas to go, but with dinners planned throughout the rest of the trip, they unfortunately didn't get eaten later. Overall, a decent spot with solid pizza and generous portions.

Sat outside since the weather was perfect for it! I also saw that they have live music and trivia,…read moreso I'll definitely have to come back and check that out. We got helped right away and I ordered the Reelin' in the Zest mocktail. It went down quick because it was so delicious! I really liked the elderflower flavor. For food, I got the Grateful Bread. Nothing too crazy, but it was good. At $11, though, I probably wouldn't order it again and would try something else. The Slayer was really good with great flavor, and the noodles were cooked perfectly. We also got the Riv Salad with smoked chicken. It wasn't bad at all and had good flavor. It's a pretty big salad and definitely filling. Overall, service was really good and we had a nice experience. I'd come back to try some of their other food and check out the live music/trivia!

I was expecting a middle-of-the-road pizza place like Little Pops or Paisans and was surprised by…read morethe quality of the ingredients and food. The flour and tomato sauce was organic and the cheese was so fresh and flavorful. Our Margherita was wood-fired! The crust was perfectly chewy just how I like it. The place was crowded and noisy but it's hard to fault the restaurant for that. The music was really loud too though, which kind of just stacked on top of all the noise and made for a really harsh atmosphere. Loved the guy fieri in the women's restroom.
