The service here was definitely an interesting experience. We were initially seated in a booth, but just a few minutes later were told we needed to move because another group had been at that table and had stepped out to a convenience store. However, there was no indication the table was occupied. There were no drinks, utensils, or any signs that another group had been there, and there were also several empty tables around, so it felt confusing to be asked to move after already getting settled. After a few more minutes, a new table was cleared for us and we relocated. Once we ordered, the staff kindly offered us garlic cheesy bread to make up for the inconvenience, which I appreciated. That said, our pizza took about 40 minutes to come out, which was surprising given that the restaurant was not very busy at the time. Service aside, the food itself was delicious. It was my first time trying deep dish pizza, and I was really excited, and it definitely did not disappoint. It is definitely worth trying if you are curious.
I am from South Florida, and we do not have a Giordano's anywhere near where I live so I always try to visit one of the locations when I am in Orlando. The deep dish pizza never disappoints! On my recent visit, we arrived at 9 o'clock at night. The restaurant was fairly busy. I suggested the deep dish pizza to my friends, (that had never had a Chicago style pizza,) and we ordered one early because it takes about 45 minutes. We decided on the Chicago Classic pizza, (serves 3-4 for $35.35.). Is a stuffed crust pizza with green peppers, mushrooms, onions, and pepperoni. It did take about 40-45 minutes, but it was worth it! We were not able to finish our pizza, although it was delicious. I think I have converted my friends to Chicago Pizza fans too. Service was good as well. My only complaint was that they have Pepsi products, and not Coke products. I will be back the next time. I am in the Orlando area.
I was on a business trip to Chicago, and that's when I first discovered Giordano's. When I came back home from that trip, I was raving about how great my experience was and couldn't wait to take my wife there. Well, imagine my surprise when I found out there was a Giordano's close to our hotel!!!! Without any hesitation, I took my wife here to experience a Chicago style deep dish pizza and who better than Giordano's? Surprisingly, it was a bit slow and we were seated immediately. It was nice and toasty out, so we refreshed ourselves with some water and started off with their Mozzarella Triangles. Perfectly golden and fried, these were tasty little polygons!! Unique in the sense I've never seen them in this shape before. Now onto the main course! We ordered The Special 10" deep dish and it was more than plentiful for the two of us. So much so we were able to take several slices back to the hotel. Each slice felt like it weighed about 1.5 lbs- you'll leave feeling very satisfied and full. The pizza was easily about two inches thick and full of robustness and flavor. Every bite was loaded with meats, veggies, and sauce, but the pièce de résistance for me is the crust!! Absolutely love the snap of the crust on the bottom, meaning it's crispy just enough. And the buttery goodness on the outer crust is sublime. Every bite! Thank you to the staff for the experience and for an opportunity to share greatness with my wife!! As always, Enjoy & EAT PIZZA!!
Very unique pizza do not get this kind up in Northeast New York. The sausage has great flavor of the cheese is high-quality. I always try to grab one of these pizzas when I am down in Orlando.
We Stopped in for lunch by recommendation from a colleague, they Chicago style so I was excited to try them. Was seated right away since it was kind of early. We ordered 2 Pies, One Sausage and one Pepperoni with some veggies, I don't really know what they added to it because I wasn't paying attention when they ordered lol The Sausage was my favorite, they were both thin crust, guess that's the Chicagoan way. But I loved the crust, both were really flavorful and I liked them. Took a while to get them so don't be in a rush when guy come in, about 40mins I'd say. Great for family and large groups.
This was my first time trying Chicago-style pizza, so I don't have anything to compare it to, but WOW I was not expecting it to taste this light and fresh. For something stuffed with cheese and filling, it didn't feel heavy or oily. I was genuinely amazed. There was a good five minutes of silence when the food came out because my whole party was just stuffing our faces. My party of five ordered two medium pies: the Special and the Margherita with pepperoni. Everyone ate 2-4 slices each. I, unfortunately, had to tap out after two slices. You can't go wrong with either pies.
Outstanding food and outstanding service from our server Eric!! We are staying at a nearby hotel and the concierge recommended this restaurant to us for the classic deep dish Chicago style pizza. We ordered The Special for the meat eaters at the table and I ordered the small personal deep dish with green peppers and mushrooms. Both pizzas were outstanding! We also ordered the calamari which featured fried lemons and banana peppers. It was delicious! My Greek salad was generous and full of fresh vegetables and topped with feta cheese and lemon vinaigrette. Our pitcher of sangria was a great deal and paired perfectly with our food! We are looking forward to the cannoli for dessert!!
If you've never had real Chicago deep dish pizza, it's life-changing. I'm a huge pizza lover and omg it really does live up to the hype. I've had Giordano's before when I lived in a different state, but I had no idea we had one in Orlando! This made my day! I was staying at the Fairfield hotel, and Giordano's is less than a five minute walk away and so convenient. I ordered the personal deep dish and it was ready in about a half hour. It was just as perfectly cheesy as I remember, with some of the best sauce I've ever had on pizza. My only negative is that I asked for utensils and they said it was in the bag. When I got back to my hotel, the only thing in there were packets of red pepper. Eating deep dish pizza in a hotel with no utensils was really difficult and kind of a buzzkill. But still. I've had both Giordano's and Lou Malnati's, and I'm firmly on the Giordano's side of the debate.
We were surprised to see that Orlando had a Giordano's, so we had to get our deep dish fix. The staff were great at answering food and drink questions, and were friendly. We started with cheesy garlic bread that comes with marinara. It was ok. Could have used more cheese and some seasoning. The sauce was good, and enough for us. We ordered a double pepperoni with a side of pizza sauce. It was great! The crust was baked perfectly, with plenty of pepperoni, cheese, and sauce on top. I had a couple of old fashions, which were good. They are made with Makers Mark, so they are sweet. The place has seats inside and out, and was packed on the Friday evening that we visited, but the staff did a great job keeping up. If we're down that way again, we'll visit them for sure.
Great pizzas as always - my husband's from Chicago. I ran into a sketchy situation this time. We needed to use the rest of our gift card. Unless your gift card is higher than your order value, you can't use a gift card for payment through the app. So I had to order in person. I asked for 2 frozen sausage deep dish and 2 frozen pepperoni deep dish. The order total came out $10 more than when I just tried to order through the app, $103 versus $93. I noticed they were being rung up as small sausage and small pepperoni and not frozen. I asked if the price for frozen was different. I had to show my cart from the app before it was adjusted to frozen pizzas and the correct price. Not sure if this was an honest mistake or something they do regularly. Then there was an issue with my gift card, not going through. I had just checked the value through their website and it was $76.26. They asked me how much was on my gift card and I told them. They tried to ring it up as $76 then $75. Neither worked. I was in the process of putting my gift card number into their website to show them how much was on it. Somehow he got it to go through with the full value after multiple attempts. They gave us some good instructions on heating it this time by letting it sit out at room temperature for one hour first. We followed the prior instructions for our last order (just bake the pizza) and it was still frozen in the center when we took it out. The crust was also pretty dark by the time the center was edible.
Tried both thin crust and deep dish. And definitely satisfied my pizza take out craving! Quick, delicious, good topping to crust ratio, and reliable
Hands down my favorite pizza joint in Chicago is Giordanos! Every time we visit, i always bring a pizza back. We ordered the super veggie deep dish and it was really good, it just felt like it had too much black pepper or something spicy on it for some reason. Other than that, it was the same great pizza we get in Chicago. The service wasn't great, our waitress forgot about our waters and didnt really check on us. I might check out another location in town to see if it is any different.

AMBIANCE: Spacious area with a ton of seating ! A group of us were traveling so I think we got lucky because it was pretty empty for a Saturday afternoon. Dim lighting inside, and fab decorations -- I love some character. SERVICE: Servers were friendly and very accommodating to our large group. Being that the order was big, I think they did an incredible job getting our food to us quickly FOOD: WATCH THE CHEESE PULL VIDEO!!! Now, I haven't been to Chicago (well, I have but for literally a day for a work trip smh) and we did have deep dish in Florida, but, guess what-- I'm not being picky or complaining bc it was delish!! I didn't think I was going to like the deep dish being that it's naturally softer and cushion-y bc of how thick the crust is, but it was great. A very enjoyable experience haha. read more
Back in Orlando means I am back at Giordanos for sure! I visited two days in a row, ordering the Italian Beef Sandwich both days. Strangely, the same item was very different just 24 hours apart. The first day the portion was huge, with over flowing motzerella and moist beef on a perfectly toasted roll. The next day, the portion significantly smaller, and a little dry but still taste good just not nearly as filling. Both days the service was friendly and attentive, and plenty of comfortable seating. read more

Who doesn't love Pizza Night at least once a month? Not very many and that led me and hubby to try the deep dish experience. We typically opt for traditional pizza. We are local, so we ordered take out. What an A++ experience. We ordered a large deep dish, build your own. We had no idea how hearty a pizza like this would be. We were a little taken back by the price, but 4 meals worth of food took that price worry away. When we picked up the pizza we found the restaurant clean and the attendant friendly and very helpful with questions. The food taste and quality was outstanding. I did like that we brought the food home, as I could see it would get cold quickly if dining in. Hint - if you get it to go, the leftovers freeze well and taste great when thawed and re heated. Also, hint - for two people a small or medium at tops is all you need for deep dish, unless you want leftovers. So glad we found a new place to enjoy. Now a sentimental story - my daughter worked there for a little while in high school and met her fiance' there, as he worked there as well. She worked there a short time so we never ate there during the time she worked there. read more
So my wife and I are vacationing in Orlando and had just checked in at our hotel when we got the hunger pains and we missed this restaurant when we went to Chicago so there we go on our way. We started off with The Greek Salad which was yummy and i normally am not a fan of vinaigrette but this was a lemon one and it was very tasty and we ordered a medium Meats and More Meats Deep Dish pizza. We were informed it would be a 45 minute wait and we were ok with it. When it came, it was piping hot and cheesy and it was good. Both my wife and I compared it to Pequod's pizza that we visited in Chicago, and they are both good in their own ways. Main difference was Pequod's served their pizza in the pie pan and the crust is layered in cheese and Giordano's is served on a tin pizza plate. It was yummy and we enjoyed it but it was a little dry. Only downside was I also ordered a Bloody Mary she it was blah, had no taste and wasn't spicy at all and when I asked for some Tabasco to spice it up so they had was Cholula! Come on man!!!! read more
Tastes just like the one in Chicago and fills in the void between my trips to Pequods. The service is fine but warning to those who have never ordered deep dish, it takes a long time (30-40 mins), so we usually call ahead and we've even taking it to-go. The ambiance is fine, something you would expect from an pseudo-Italian restaurant read more

Food here was AMAZING! Not only was our food amazing but our server Corita was phenomenal! My family and I came to Florida for vacation from California and by far has been the best pizza we've had! Most definitely will come again! read more

Just to start, the pizza and food has been lip burning hot each time I have visited. I moved from Chicago and the Orlando sites have definitely provided a piece of the Chi, craving. I strongly suggest to dine in for the full experience. Nice family atmosphere for a reasonable feast. read more

This may be an unpopular opinion but Chicago deep dish is just not it for me. Idk if it's the sauce or just the way they make the crust. I've tried to give it another try and I think I just don't care for it. I did get to try their chicken parmigiana sandwhich and it was pretty good. It came with fries, and these are the good fries! Crispy and delicious. The cheesy bread for me was missing something. Not too sure what but again it wasn't bad just wasn't the best I've had. The service was okay. It was really busy and they seemed to not be staffed which to me is never an issue I can understand and I don't get upset. Our server was very nice and was attentive. This location is good if you want to have a chill dinner and watch some sports they had TVs everywhere so great for that! I'm sure I'll visit again and try a traditional pizza next time. read more

I have never had a Chicago style Pizza. It's all really excited to try it here although the pieces are more expensive than I have paid before, it was really good. And a small pizza can feel a group of four people. I love the sausage that they use for the pizza. Service was nice and friendly. Pizza was very flavorful. I had the deep dish pizza, small with fresh garlic, sausage, and double cheese. I don't eat pizza a lot, but if I'm ever back in Orlando area, I'll definitely come back. read more

I just wanted to say that I love Giordanos and we tried the heart shape for Valentine's Day. My partner and I didn't wanna do something big this year but something very personal and small. I picked up my order which was the heart shape pizza half spinach and cheese and BBQ chicken. When I got home we realized there was no spinach in the spinach and cheese, it was just cheese and it truly ruined the experience and night. Most will say that it's not that serious but it truly was, it just tasted bland. And it truly wasn't what I ordered. I'm really upset read more

I came here with my family to carb load before my race the next morning. We sat down immediately. The server took awhile to come to our table. The restaurant was full. It was a cute pizza spot. For appetizers, we ordered mozzarella triangles, cheesy garlic bread, and Parmesan truffle fries. All were really good. Dinner, we got Cesar salads with added grilled chicken, rigatoni bolognese, and a deep dish pizza. The salads were huge. My aunt said hers had too much lemon. The rigatoni bolognese was seasoned well and delicious. My mom didn't really like her deep dish pizza. They had a chocolate chip cookie skillet which I was craving but was too full to get. The server took awhile to bring us our check and didn't bring us a bag with our containers for leftovers. Overall, it was a good experience. I would go back. read more

It's almost like being in Chicago...almost. The deep dish Chicago Classic was great, but the cheesy garlic bread left a lot to be desired. Service was great and restaurant is clean. Great music and not too loud. Quick dinner while out of town for the weekend. read more

Oh my goodness, the decor reminds of the location in Chicago. It was so homie and perfectly stylish. The staff were super busy but greeted us with a smile and seated us. I had the chance to try the cheesy garlic bread, calamari, and the meatty deep dish. Everything was perfectly cooked. I could barely finish my slice. I had such an awesome cheese pull too. The quality is beyond any pizza place I have been too. I will definitely be trying their peperoni and veggies next time. read more
