We went to Giordano's because my son was craving the chicken parm sandwich. Unfortunately, the experience was underwhelming. My husband and I ordered an original thin crust pizza, which is supposed to be triangle-cut like a regular pizza, but it came square-cut instead. More importantly, the sauce just didn't taste very good, which was disappointing given Giordano's reputation. We also ordered a house salad to split (spring greens, tomatoes, and Asiago cheese). We asked for no fennel, which they accommodated, and the salad was fine -- nothing special, but fine. My son ordered the chicken parm sandwich (breaded chicken breast with house-made marinara and melted mozzarella on toasted garlic ciabatta), along with parmesan garlic fries and tomato bruschetta. The sandwich itself was okay, but the bruschetta missed the mark -- way too many diced tomatoes and the bread wasn't crispy at all. Service was another issue. Our waiter seemed unbothered and hard to find. Every time I tried to get his attention, he was nowhere around. Dirty dishes piled up, and since I couldn't get them cleared, I ended up moving them to the table beside us, which isn't something guests should have to do. Make sure you sign up for the loyalty program at least 24 hours in advance so you can get the $5 off your meal! Overall, it served its purpose, but between the lackluster food and inattentive service, I left feeling less than thrilled. Nothing terrible -- just not a place I'd be eager to rush back to. It's simple and no frills. I wanted to make my son happy; but I wasn't.
Giordano's was the 1st taste of Chicago Deep Dish I ever had, I was 17. I went to school in Chicago and found other places that were better (Gino's, Due, Lou Minati's) I haven't had Giordano's for 30 years. I live in California now, so when I saw they had a location in Orlando I had to try it. It hit me like the 1st time I tried Deep Dish. Great blast from the past!
First time having a real deep dish pizza and it didn't disappoint. I love the concept of how they layer the topping and then cheese and sauce. It gives it a different texture for sure. They really put a heavy amount of jalapeños tho, because I was barely able to finish a slice. I will stay away from jalapeños next time. The chicken wings were plain because we requested sauce on the side, but they didn't give us any sauce. So that was disappointing.
Last night I picked up a large cheese deep dish from Giordano's, and it was nothing short of incredible. The pizza was massive; honestly felt like it weighed ten pounds; and every bite was worth it. * Crust: Perfectly baked, golden, and sturdy enough to hold all that cheesy goodness without being too heavy. * Cheese: Generous, gooey, and satisfying; exactly what you hope for in a Chicago-style deep dish. * Sauce: Rich, robust, and full of flavor. It had just the right balance of tang and sweetness, making each slice pop. We shared it among four people, and everyone loved it. This is the kind of pizza that makes you slow down and savor every bite. If you're in Orlando and craving authentic deep dish, Giordano's is the place to go.
Sooooooo good!! The deep dish stuffed pizza is very good. The cheese bread appetizer is also great.
Love the deep dish pizza always. This specific Giordanos is pretty dirty (windows, doors, bathrooms, what you can see of the kitchen when you walk back, the pile of dirty paper towels that sit by the door going back into the dining room). I did let someone know the soap was out in both the men's and women's bathrooms and the paper towels in the women's (mom life visiting both multiple times). Neither was addressed in the time we were there (probably an hour and a half...takes about 45 minutes to get deep dish). Service wise at this place, looked like one person working most of the tables, so I know that can be tough and it was a little slow reflecting that, which isn't her fault. The biggest weird thing though is that we actually took a second to look at our bill (both of us looked). The subtotal didn't add up. So I'm not sure if she already added tip and just didn't have a line for it (maybe it's like an auto thing?) but then when you tap to pay it gives you another spot to tip again. I just think that's a little sketch. We often are in a hurry and don't look, so adding an extra almost $20 and not having a line for it and then also having a spot for another tip can be a little deceptive. There were just the 4 of us, I know it's often auto when it's a bigger table, but we weren't. So, yeah, just weird and felt a bit deceptive. And there was a line for tax, so it wasn't that.
The pizza and service are second to none! I've been here twice! Once was later in the evening with friends and the second time was a late lunch by myself. I travel for business, so after my first experience, I couldn't get this place out of my mind. The decorations are charming! The large ornate bar is a beautiful centerpiece! The pizza is out of this world!
Good Pizza just make sure to to give it some time as all orders are made to order. I make sure to get some every time I'm in Orlando
I don't usually eat pizza, but I decided to try their deep dish and I loved it! It was so fresh and delicious, I've never had a pizza like that. I thought it was gonna be too much cheese but it was actually the perfect amount
Staff inside was friendly, ordered a deep dish with chicken and veggies. The pizza was messed up when I got home though, wish I checked it before I left. It was still good but 1/4 of it was smushed. Super cheesy, would give them another shot next time im in the area
LoOoOve Giordano's We make it a point to eat here whenever we're in the area--it's just THAT good! We always get the stuffed pizza and while I want to try other toppings, I always get the meat and more meat. We thought the place was going to be packed, but there was tons of seating in the deck. There was a convenient heater heating up the space since it was cold, it was like a light bulb--which was pretty cool. Our waiter was great! I forgot his name but he was Nigerian and Brazilian and when I left he came after me to give me my jacket which was VERY much appreciated. Can't wait to go back
I haven't been here in a while but we consider it a treat once and awhile so it was time. I decided to try the Italian Beef arancini which was pretty good. I'll definitely get it again. My son kept his deep dish simple with just cheese. I had sausage and half green pepper. I would have liked more green pepper but it was still good. Now. What upset us and convinced me to not come back to this location is this; My son came out with the two pizzas and a bag. I assumed the arancini was in the bag, as I'm talking to him, I'm opening the bag and reaching into the bag when I look and see that it's fries. So just before I actually touched the fries, I pulled my hand out and a gentleman is at my windows saying I have the wrong bag. So I hand it back to him and my son followed him back into the restaurant. My son said the gentleman handed the bag of fries to a customer and then went and got my order to give to him. Now, maybe it's different here, but I was always told that's an absolute no, no. My hand was literally inside the bag, and even if it wasn't, it had been in my vehicle and therefore compromised. At the very least either leave the bag or throw it all away. I don't feel comfortable with that decision and I won't return to that location if that's how they conduct business.

Always a great experience at this Giordano's, the staff are always friendly , the deep dish is always delicious (yes I know it's prepared ahead of time and only put in the oven when ordered), and the ambience is always relaxed-great for a last stop before the drive back home from Orlando Would recommend to deep dish lovers, will be back again in the future :) read more

Pizza that's thick full of cheese sauce and my favorite toppings you sooo know I'm all for it! The middle was fantastic it was full of flavor and sausage just what we could have wanted making for a yummy time the crust was interesting it almost had the consistency of a pie crust but more flaky like it's hard to explain but let's just leave it as it was yummy! Overall yummy pizza but with that flaky crust twist to make it unique but hey it's all good not sure if I'll get back here again but it's definitely not off the list! read more

The Calabrian Chili Honey Garlic Wings! HELLO!! It's me, Michele...I'll take the traditional style, please. The service was prompt! We got our wings within 12 minutes, yes, 12. AND! For some reason, she must've thought we wanted 2 because we had both the traditional and boneless. Well, whatever. I was totally surprised with how fast it came out. I enjoyed it, my daughter thought they were a tad bit too sweet. Dipped in Ranch, they were the perfect marriage! It was goood! Casual, comfortable and clean establishment. Our server let us know that our Meat and MORE meat stuffed pizza will take approximately 50 minutes to cook. Ok, no prob...The Megladon Movie kept us entertained. I can see they also serve alcohol. Aside from the stuffed pizzas they're known for, they have salads, pastas, subs...We're here mainly for the stuffed crust, AKA, the pizza pie! The Real Megladon! How coincidental. Service was good. Our server was spunky and sweet, although a little too rushed, that I had to ask for a fork twice. But like I said, between the quick service and great food....Ya'll it was gooooood! read more

After the beach we came here because one of my friends wanted Giordano's. I had giordanos before and it's okay to me but maybe because on this particulate day I wasn't wanting deep dish that I really didn't care for it. The waitress was very nice and pleasant. It was four of us that came for pizza. 2 of the friends ordered personal pizzas while me and another friend split a small pizza because we are very similar when it comes to our pizza toppings. Unfortunately, I had one slice (barely) and was not satisfied and didn't even take home leftovers. My friends ordered personal who shared the pizza with me, was spending more time removing so may onions out of her pizza slice so we were both just not happy. Our other friends, had our pizza and actually liked ours instead of theirs because of how much cheese we had. We also shared a ceasar salad and it was too much anchovies. It was packed in the establishment and the ambiance was loud and just chill vibes. If you like deep dish, definitely try them out-many love giordanos perhaps it was a bad day for me or I just wasn't into the pizza. Sadly I just took a picture of the menu and no pics of any pizza/salad. read more

This is by far the most disgusting restaurant I've tried in Orlando Fl from the customer service to the food I ask for blue cheese dressing to go with the nastiest buffalo wings in history anywho I asked for blue cheese dressing what I got was a cup of liquid ranch dressing taste like watery 2 percent milk with blue cheese crumbs on top was I told this is how they do their blue cheese NO! So I called with my complaint the manager said that's the way we do here being so arrogant as if it was the best restaurant in America ranch and blue cheese dressing are two different dressings did I ask to mix the two NO! So I should've been told that Im a very unsatisfied customer this restaurant doesn't 't deserve any stars read more

We visited Giordano's Thanksgiving weekend when we were in town visiting family. We have been to the location in Chicago and was super surprised to see they had a location in Orlando. After eating Thanksgiving dinner the day prior, we had a taste for pizza so we decided to get a deep dish! Parking was fairly easy as there's parking in the front of the establishment. The restaurant was pretty clean and the staff was very friendly. We were seated pretty quickly upon entering and we were directed to a booth. We ordered the garlic bread to start and also a side salad. For the deep dish, we chose the Chicago classic deep dish. Everything was made to order and delicious! I would definitely visit this location again. If you are in town and want to get pizza, please give them a try! read more
We live really close to this place so we thought we'd give it a try. The first thing they told us was that the pizza takes about 45 minutes to come out. It's great they make it so fresh, and I'm glad they warned us upfront, but we were really hungry, so a little disappointed about the wait, but we decided to wait. We ordered an appetizer in the mean time. The appetizer was good. It was nice inside and we sat in a booth. The food was good, but we weren't as hungry for the pizza once we had the appetizer and waited, so we brought most of it home. read more

Great real Chicago Deep Dish pizza just like the ones I had in Chicago! Service was excellent! read more
Walked in on a Tuesday afternoon and was sat down by our host. It took maybe about 10-15 minutes for our server to take our order, but there was a lot of parties and it seemed like there was only two servers working the floor at the moment. We ordered two Michelo Ultra's while waiting. Beer bottle was warm but she gave us iced cold glasses to cool them off. Our server said the deep dish pizza would take about 45 mins which we didn't mind. We got the medium deep dish pizza with pepperoni, bacon, mushroom and banana pepper. Pizza was gigantic and lots of cheese! It was definitely an experience. $80 for a deep dish and six beers. read more

This place is legit. I had options. Keep in mind they're in a tourist area, and the service was quick and friendly. I wanted to try a tavern pie for the first time. And they had their famous Chicago Deep-Dish too. I settled for both. A six inch person deep dish and a 6 inch personal tavern pie with extra cheese. The cheese pull on both was off the charts. Definitely coming back. Had amazing music in the background too. read more

Great deep dish over here. Had to stop by it and try. Just beware the pepperoni here does have a it kick to it. Very good pizza though loaded and flooded with all the toppings read more
Can I tell you I get more excited coming to Orlando to eat at Giordano's than going to any park. Love the calamari which has fried peppers, yum. We always order a small, which has good flavor and just enough for us to eat and not leave much behind. Service is quick, quick for a deep dish, with the typical pizzeria vibe. read more
