Came to this location of Giordano's for the first time despite living in Naperville-ish for so long. Brought family friends that were visiting from Taiwan here and they enjoyed it a lot! Got the special deep-dish pizza with the vienna sausage and mustard, caesar salad and some wings. The special deep dish was pretty good! Very satisfied with the level of cheese pull which is the essence of all pizza. Stuffed deep dish is my jam because I love soft things, but I can see how people who like a browner, crispier crust would enjoy the thin crust more. The caesar salad was mediocre, not too much taste to the dressing and there was not much in it... but I guess who goes to a pizza place to eat salad??? The wings were just ok as well. Really boney unfortunately not much meat. But the sauce was good, normal buffalo sauce. read more

First experience having Chicago-style pizza and boy was I impressed. Let's just say I attempted a second slice and I was close to my breaking point. Moving to Chicago soon and I can't wait to be a regular... well of course then I'll be obese... but who cares, right? It's cold there... I'll just buy a bigger jacket. Hey, don't judge. read more

Great food! The first Chicago style pizza I've had. The staff was friendly, the food was amazing. I will definitely go back.

After a few not so great experiences with ChicagonDeep Dish Pizzas. I was recommended this place. They stood up to all the build up. I tried the thin crust and the deep dish. Both were really well done. From there tomato sauce to the cheese, from the crust to the toppings. Every bite was to be relished for. There only problem was the wait time. It took us forty minutes to gate a spot and another forty to get the Pizzas. But every minute was made up by the delicious Pizzas. Note: They deliver all throughout continental US S read more

This rating is 3 3/4 stars. I'm biased about Chicago style pizza. My personal, hands down, favorite Chicago style pizza is still Zachary's pizza in Berkeley, CA. I've tried other pizza places and my taste buds still turn towards Zach. But, Giordano's is a pretty close second. That said, I still enjoyed my slice. I tried... when in Chicago, do as the Chicagoans do. Eat their pizza! read more

This is an OK pizza place, and popular with young families. Best feature is it's great location in downtown Naperville. We had a thin sausage and mushroom pizza and chicken oreganato (over fettucine), both ok - not bad, but not exceptional. They have two dining rooms and a bar area, and capacity is not as massive as it might appear from Main Street. There's a lot of traffic and they handle it pretty quickly, as we had about a 20 minute wait. With all the kids, it's not cleanest place, and it kinda felt like an upscale version of the last Chuck N Cheese we were in (and that was a while ago). read more

We ordered a pizza for delivery. The person taking the order couldn't get our address correct and the. Followed it up with messing up our order. She quoted us an hour and 20 minutes and after an hour and 40 we called. It turns out that the driver was sitting in the parking lot waiting for us to call instead of calling us. When we opened the pizza it was burnt. Not a very good experience. read more

We went here for my sister in laws 50 birthday tonight and ordered a BBQ chicken bacon pizza. The pizza came out with the waitress and the assistant manager. He said we made a mistake we made your pizza with chicken raw onion bacon and tomato sauce. Here is some bbq sauce in the side. It was so bad and tasted so disgusting that we could not eat the pizza. Then all they did was take $5 off the bill. I would expect better service and handling a this mistake in a much better way. They also did nothing special for her birthday and did not make us feel like we mattered. read more

DONT ORDER DELIVERY!!!!! ordered here tonight, They happily took our $96 order and never sent it out and then we had to wait an hour in the restaurant to receive luke warm food. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! Will never ever return to this location again. Truly the worst experience I've EVER had with a restaurant. read more

We have had two recent experiences when we ordered pizza and never received it. The first time, a very confused sounding person took my delivery order. Understanding these things take time, we waited patiently, but called 1.5 hours later to check in. The restaurant had closed! Tonight we were told the wait would be 2-2.25 hours for delivery. After 2.5 hours, we called to follow up and were told the pizza oven was stuck shut. The manager very kindly offered a credit and sent us free food to make up for it - but still very disappointed we didn't receive a phone call to let us know about the issue. read more

At the very best one star. Ordered a large Special pizza. When it arrived the dough was raw. So, ask our waitress (excellent server) to have the "chef" cook the pizza in particular the dough...came back-still RAW DOUGH! Called and Oscar gave me his name as manager by chose not to address the issue of RAW DOUGH and would not give the name of the other manager on duty. Be CAREFUL...raw dough on a $35.00 pizza might not be the best thing for you! We don't expect anyone of authority to monitor this analysis..NEVER, ever go back. read more

Best Chicago stuffed pizza pie hands down (a true pie with tons of cheese and whatever else you want stuffed between 2 crusts and topped with a great tomato sauce)!!! Flee your from Texas for business and would never leave without eating Giordano's pizza!!!!! read more

I mean it's Giordano's... need I say more? If you're a Chicagoan, you know what I mean jelly bean. Otherwise, Giordano's is a phenomenal pizza place with amazing deep dish pizza. I've reviewed another Giordano's, so I'll focus this on the location and service. The food is pretty much the same at every location. Side note: bruschetta is AMAZING! I got 2 orders of it. For myself. I've been to this location twice, once for a private event and the other for a causal dinner. There's a parking lot across the street but it's for other stores and restaurants as well. There's street parking too. The parking garage is not too far..I'd say average about a 3-minute walk. This place is one floor. It is a family friendly restaurant. The service was nice. When we came for dinner, it was quiet, but then it started to get packed. It was kind of heard to move around because the tables are close together. Other than that, I had a good time. read more

Giordano's - Bruschetta! - Pizza Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

This Giordano's location provided exceptional customer service to our family today! After being turned away from Lou Malnati's down the street due to their unwillingness to seat our family on their patio, we called this Giordano's location asking if they would accommodate us and were told to come in! We walked over to Giordano's, explained we wanted to sit on their patio as we had little kids with us who wanted to enjoy a meal outside. The host had our server put 2 tables together for us right away! Then the server saw we had kids and offered to wipe down an already spotless table! Throughout our dining experience, Giordano's staff went above and beyond expectations with their customer service! We will only dine with them for pizza from now on! Thank you for providing a safe and pleasant dining experience for our family today! read more

Another disappointing experience . I love the pizza but they can't get it right. Ordering online to avoid the virus and they are 0 for 2. If you add anything out of the ordinary like extra sauce they will not Include it. read more

Super flavorful pizza, especially Italian Sausage!!!! Light, crunchy crusts that complements the high quality cheeses

Paid for parking. Sat at the bar for about 15 minutes, nobody offered me a drink nobody gave me a menu... so I left. Who the hell runs this place? read more

How stoned do you allow your delivery drivers to be? The kid walked up the stairs to my third floor apartment, knocked on my door, looked at the receipt in his hands, confused, and realized he forgot the pizza. You literally have one job... read more

Great great great pizza the pizzas you can get to take home are pretty easy to cook just on thawed in the microwave for 10 minutes and then put it in your oven without cutting it at 3:50 for 30 minutes and you're gonna have a perfectly crispy pizza at your house you can go in store them in your freezer for whenever you don't know what to do for dinner. Free parking highly recommend. read more

I was assaulted by the manager at Giordano's Pizza in Naperville, IL. I was standing behind the door when the manager closed the door then pushed it open on my 18 week pregnant stomach. I think I'll be ok, but I will never be ordering from Giordano's again! Our service was slow, we spoke to the manager when we proceeded to get attitude from her as well as the server, as we were leaving they were still unapologetic. Then the manager called me an Entitled Brat. It escalated out of control where my unborn baby and I were put into harm's way because of the manager's actions and bad decision making. read more

Has Giordano's changed its recipe? Today it was runny, bland, less sausages and the cheese a little thin. It tasted more like Lou Malnati's which I don't like too much. I prefer Giordano's since I grew up with it. Maybe Giordano's thinks it's losing to Lou and decided to be more like them. Also, whoever made the pizza really messed up. Below is a pic of some of the onions take out of just "one" slice after eating some of it. I like onions but this is way too much. It was also way more crunchy (uncooked) than usual. Also, the dough on the bottom was thin in parts and thick in other parts. They need to work on quality control. read more

We love Giordanis but today's experience was terrible. We ordered pizza for delivery. Took an 1hr 45mins to get to us! By then our guests and their children (and our children) were starving, exhausted, tired and cranky. No one from Giordano's even called us to tell us they were running so so late. We won't be ordering from here again. read more

Chicagolanders (the locals from the sprawling burbs) have told me the pizza at the chains comes down to Giordano's or Lou Malnati's. I tried both, and cannot say which is better. I had the personal (small) deep dish pizza with cheese and pepperoni with a FIstmas Christmas Beer (very hoppy). The food was decent and the staff was fun. We talked about my face freezing. ouch. Just go have fun and eat pizza! read more

Normally, I love Giordano's, it's one of my favorite places to eat. I still love Giordano's, but I am not a fan of the layout of this place. I didn't like that the bar was right next to the door, it caused a lot of congestion. I also felt as if the place was a little unorganized, there was a lot of chaos, again probably due to the layout of the place. Now, I would've given this specific Giordano's a 3, just because the food was good, but, I will say that I am giving it a 2 because they didn't have pepperoni..... we went at 7pm. I don't know what type of pizza restaurant runs out of it, but this one did. Huge shame. It really should be the one topping they had the most of. And it would be more understandable if it were to run out much later in the night, but it wasn't that late. The workers were very sweet, just wish that they had a better layout and stocked up on ingredients. read more

We had the rehearsal dinner for our wedding at the downtown Naperville Giordanos. We worked with Moose and Gladys to plan the dinner and they couldn't have been more pleasant to work with. The entire process was very easy! We were able to reserve a semi-private room in the back of the restaurant for our 30 or so guests. We had soft drinks, salads, and pizzas. The food came out exactly when we had requested it to. The salads were cold, the pizzas were hot, and everything was delicious! The employees were even kind enough to box the leftover pizzas into small carry out boxes that would fit into the hotel mini fridges, since most of our guests were at the hotel for the night before the wedding. This was the perfect choice for our many out of town guests who don't often get to enjoy deep dish and we're so glad we went with Giordanos for our rehearsal dinner! read more

Placed an online order, took a full hour for it to be ready. When I went to pick it up I waited about ten minutes since there was a line of people picking up their orders. None of them were ready either. Pizza was hot and good, just a large cheese. I thought it was expensive but I think pizza is just pricey in Chicago everywhere. read more

I've enjoyed Giordano's over the years. Another very good local pizza place. Like most other places, chances are very good you may not need to order anything else. If you do get them, appetizers I would suggest are mozzarella sticks, breaded zucchini, breaded Mushrooms. The garlic & cheesy breads are also very good. Chicken wings & strips are also solid but might be overkill unless you're in a large group. The staff are also very friendly people also. Now if you don't know this, I will tell you now. Expect the wait to be between 30-40 minutes (carry out or dine in; check their Internet site and they make it pretty clear). If you go the route of pasta, I suggest the lasagna (very hearty especially in the fall and winter) or the fettuccini Torino (chicken in extra virgin olive oil & garlic, mixed with our own red and Alfredo sauce; you may also get it with shrimp). All the pasta dishes are fantastic so you can't go wrong in my opinion. As far as sandwiches go, I don't eat them often because I want pizza or pasta when I come here. If you do, go with the meatball or the chicken Parmesan. Now as it relates to salads, go with the antipasto salad (ham, Genoa salami, Provolone cheese, black olives, red onion, pepperocini peppers, cucumbers, & tomatoes) or the Caprese salad (tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese and basil dressed with house balsamic vinaigrette- great in the summer). Now lets get the matter at hand, the pizza. If deep dish is too much for you, then the thin crust will work perfectly for you. The crust is very good (generally not to crispy or too gooey). Regardless what direction you decide, the sauce has a very nice flavor and the cheese is topped generous. If my mood possesses me to, I'll get the special (sausage, mushrooms, green peppers & onions) . Not sure why I'm naming the choice of topping but I will: I prefer: Sausage, Mushroom, Green Peppers, Onions, Black Olives, Fresh Garlic. I "get" these: *Spinach, Ground Beef, Fresh Tomatoes, Jalapeno Peppers, Green Olives. I don't mind: Pepperoni, Canadian Bacon I can't have: Anchovies, *Shrimp (allergic) I don't "get" these at all: Pineapple, Broccoli (you like these, I'm not mad at you but I still don't get it). The crust is very very good, excellent texture. Love the thick crust. If you get the large, chances are very good you're taking some home (unless you're with a large group). One thing I can say is that the flavors never over power me but yet still very rich. I have no complaints and can't recall having a bad pizza here. One of several locations in the area. If you eat it with a fork, no problem. 4 3/4 out of 5. read more

I went to the location in dt naperville last night to pick up my pizza. The one star is for the rude woman in her 50s with short blond hair who I think was a manager. I told her on the phone repeatedly that I wanted the " special" with only half sausage. I know this bc I don't eat sausage. When I got there she rudely interrupted me to tell me she had taken the call herself and no I said no mushroom. I attempted to tell her that wasn't true but she again interrupted me getting louder stating SHE had taken the call herself (as if she was the end all be all in phone orders) and she didn't make a mistake. She wouldnt fix it. My friend insisted we just take it and go. I've loved this place for over 10 years but will not be coming back due to this woman. She's rude, loud and horrible with customer service. If she's a manager, that's even worse. read more

My new #1 pick in terms of Chicago pizza! In the case of Giordano's, deep dish = deep satisfaction! You don't really need to add toppings, because you really can't taste them through the flavorful cheese, well-seasoned crust, and impeccable sauce. They also have this GREAT chessy pizza bread that's perfect to munch on while you're waiting for your pizza. read more

Ordered a small stuffed pizza to go. Pick up time provided was a 20 minute window, about an hr from time of ordering. However, when I arrived to pick up, was told they were a "little" behind and it would be another 15 mins. 30 mins later, I asked the manager where my pizza was...he said it would be another 20 mins or so. The kitchen was a mess, chaotic, with tickets on the floor. I am convinced my pizza was either given to someone else waiting or was never made. Regardless, the wait time and service are unacceptable. Living in Naperville, there is no shortage of good pizza makers/joints ready and willing to serve customers honestly. UPDATE: I am further disappointed, as I contacted Evelyn from Giordano's on 12/30, as instructed in her reply. She never contacted me. I really dislike the disingenuous response which appears to be for "show". read more

Giordanos is something of a Chicago legend next to Lou's. But Lou's is much better if you're looking for more authentic Chicago deep dish pizza. The pizza here is definitely good, service is good, and the restaurant is clean, but I don't think it's really anything special. I prefer the more unique flavor of Aurelio's with its rich cheeses and sweet sauce. read more

Zero stars. My family HAD a tradition of coming here for birthdays. Each of us USED to enjoy their pizza. Last night was our last trip, no doubt about it. My family of five were the only diners when we came in at 5pm. We ordered two deep dish pizzas, a house salad and sodas. That was $85. Let me repeat..with light tip that was $85! Giordano's idea of an extra large pizza is what the world considers a small. The second problem was our deep dish. Their idea of a deep dish here has flattened out. Add Giordano's to that list of restaurants that have skimmed their meal size down to a fraction of it's former size and jacked up the prices. A few years ago they were still deep dish, now their deep dish looks like a glorified thin. Lastly, when our pizzas were served they came out room temperate. Again, we were the only diners in there at the time, yet they couldn't cook two pizza's properly. I usually eat 3-4 slices, last night I had to force down one, and hated it. I know it's popular to love this place and everyone thinks it's iconic for Chicago. I represent those that think and judge appropriately, and will honestly tell you that this restaurant just lost our business for good. They've skimmed their product, jacked up their prices and lost their understanding of how to cook a pizza. Pathetic. read more

I have been told that Giordano's is a must try place when visiting the Chicago area. I have had other Chicago Style pizza's before so I had a pretty high expectation but at the same time I was excited to try it. Verdict? I thought it was very delicious but not amazing. First of all the pizza is huge. A small size can easily feed 3 people. The toppings were good but the only thing I can complain about is the crust. I have been spoiled by Little Star pizza and Pie pizza crust's up until now and I thought this was going to have the same style crust. Its more bread like and thick. Its in between a soft fluffy crust and a tough crust. It was good but not great. I will give it another go next time I am in the area but if I had to rank Giordano's on my list of top 5 Chicago Style pizza, it would bounce back and forth in 3rd or 4th place. read more

When our order first arrived, the driver had brought us the wrong pizza, and didn't really seem to know what to do or how to help, so he simply went back to his car and sat in the driveway. We called the store who said they would resolve the problem and let us know what was going on, but they never ended up calling us back. Our pizza eventually did arrive with another driver, who proceeded to tell us that she had given our pizza to the wrong customer, and told us we were "lucky they called about getting the wrong pizza". I was happy to finally have my pizza but not happy to hear that it had been handled by someone else...could have gone without that information. read more

Very good food. We had "The Special" pizza and wings. Be prepared to wait 45 mins, because it's a Chicago style pizza and takes a while to cook. My only complaint is the excessive amount of cheese in the pizza. However, I'm not use to eating deep dish pizza.... so that may be entirely normal. read more

Grrrr.... parking sucks around here, but it's not their fault. Lou's is still my #1 choice of deep dish pizza. But the fam and I had a gift certificate burning a hole in our pockets so off we went. Fast, friendly service. Their appetizer combo plate is huge and too much for just 3 people. We did our best though. It worked out perfectly because girlspawn only eats mozzarella sticks, the husband only eats fried mushrooms, and I love fried zucchini. They ordered thin crust, I ordered the 10 inch deep dish. I was bursting at the seams after only one slice. Damn all that fried zucchini. But I had enough left over for lunch the next two days. And all the co-workers were hatin'. read more

This was my first experience with any type of Chicago Pizza and I have to say, it was nothing short of amazing! Thanks for making my first experience awesome! And we had a great waitress! read more

Chicago style pizza is hands-down the greatest type of pizza in the world. It's not even debatable in my opinion. And there are many places to get great deep-dish pizza in the Chicago area. Giordano's is at the top of pack. I went to Giordano's this past week, but I've had it dozens of times in the past. It's reliable and never lets you down. Because each slice is so filling and filled with cheese, you do not need to order a lot. In addition, don't go over-the-top with extra ingredients. Keep it simple. Go with just cheese or cheese and sausage or cheese and spinach. I will continue to come back to Giordano's for years to come! read more

Meh. It's not bad, but it's also not the gustatory orgasm that people make it out to be. I think Chicago has a lot more to offer than Giordano's. The hype that surrounds this place makes it seem much better than it really is. The stuffed deep dish is ok, but a little disappointing. It seems to be more about quantity than quality. Or maybe I'm completely mistaken and this is supposed to be a cheese eating contest. But what surprised me was the spinach and artichoke dip. I really loved that. I expected the garbage you get at Applebees, but this was so much better. So all in all, this place is ok. read more

The people who are calling this pizza overrated have clearly been drinking some funky Kool-aid. Giordano's is the best deep dish pizza I have ever had, far superior to pretty much all other options. Gino's East is bird food compared to Giordano's, and that's the truth, Ruth. A major feather in the Giordano's cap is that every location seems to be pretty consistent. I've probably had pizza at five different locations over the years, and have never been disappointed. This location in Naperville is no exception, as the atmosphere was good, the waitress was attentive and friendly, and the pizza was just as excellent as always. This time we had the tropic-something-or-whatever pizza, which is Canadian bacon and pineapple-- I'm pretty nuts about pineapple pizza. It is also conveniently located in downtown Naperville, with a free public parking lot right across the street. It's nice not to have to find a parking garage, as all of the previous Giordano's locations I had hit up (aside from the ones in the far out suburbs) seemed to require me to park blocks away, or find public transportation to get there. Also, didn't have the ridiculous lines of the ones downtown. Highly recommended pizza goodness. read more
