Gross. And a ripoff. What is with the positive reviews on the DIS boards. $115 for 3 plain pizzas and tip. Tasteless, bland, cold and tasteless (yes it deserves 2 of those). Please save yourself some disappointment and order from anywhere else. Dominos would be 2 steps up. Really. Zero stars, but I'll add one for the timely and pleasant delivery experience. read more

We are obsessed with this place, I mean my husband didn't and really still doesn't stop talking or bringing it up. Our little loved the spaghetti and meatballs, the chicken wings were full of flavor and thick, not all boney. The garlic cheese bread was AMAZING and the pizza was AMAZING!!!! The pizza was seriously the best we have ever had. We had to fly home and my husband wanted to see how we could take some and savor it, maybe even buy a location LOL. Seriously. We loved it. Hope we find one of these again! Also the service was great and we had some good beers to top off the night. read more

Satisfied our pizza craving! Amazing food and the service was excellent. They had chicken/and chicken sausage options which I appreciated, and their famous deep dish was tasty cheesy goodness (Chicago pizza is a must try for foodies atleast once). Portions are super fresh (the thin crust pizza came out sooner, the deep dish takes a bit longer but worth it). We also enjoyed the appetizers and house salad. read more

Food was fresh and hot! Great tasting pizza! Ambiance was ok. Some background music. Service was lacking a little, messed our order twice, but made up with pizza! Would come back again. read more

I used to like Giordano's and looked forward to getting Chicago deep dish in Florida. I don't know if my taste has changed or if they have gone downhill but I thought the crust was flavorless and seemed like it had been frozen. Our service at this location was also terrible. We showed up a little after 9 and the place was fairly empty. After we were seated we waited for at least 10 mins before anyone acknowledged us. Once someone finally came over to take our order it turns out she was the manager. We ordered a salad and a deep dish pizza. She let us know that the deep dish takes about 45 mins, which was fine. Shortly after ordering our actual server brought out our salad and introduced himself and said that he was given a large party in the back. After we finished with the salad he came back to clear our plates and I asked for a water since I had finished my lemonade and wanted to make sure I was all set for when the pizza came out. As I was afraid of, he disappeared. Another server brought our pizza out about 15 mins later, which was actually quicker than the 45 minute projection but I still had no drink. 5-10 mins later we were able to flag down our server and asked him for the water a second time. He apologized and brought it out shortly after. He then vanished again and didn't appear until a good 10-15 minutes after we had finished eating. We asked for a box and the check and sat there for another 10-15 until he finally had the host bring it to us. As I expected they did not apply the discount code I had given when we ordered so I had to send the check back to be adjusted. As we were about to leave our server showed up to apologize but it was too late. I always tip a minimum of 20% even with sub-par service but considering he didn't even do the bare minimum and prioritized his other large party over us I felt like the tip should reflect the effort. read more

The wings were off the hook!! This was my family first time and the best part was the service I highly recommend asking for Josh super cool he treated us like family. The manager Destiny was also super nice she brought my daughter who was celebrating her 12 birthday a cookie with ice cream and sang her happy birthday read more

I'm originally from Chicago & was super excited to have some hometown food! Ordered calamari, large special tavern style & large sausage deep dish to go. The calamari was delicious, however was unpleasantly surprised when there was breaded fried lemon slices... weird & inedible. Tavern style was delicious & can't wait to snack on the deep dish tonight! Carlos our server very polite, spoke English well & Spanish. Clean open dining area inside & nice outdoor area. read more

Deep dish pizza ( spinach, mushrooms, cheese) was so deep down good. When you go pick your own ingredients. House salad with lemon vinaigrette dressing is a good way to start. Service was good. Ciao for now. read more

Ordered the thin crust pepperoni pizza and free cheese bread. $33. It was pretty disgusting. Domino's is better. Tasted like a cheap frozen pizza. So disappointed! The cheese on the cheese bread had a weird taste. Don't waste your money!!! read more

Man was this bad!!!! I ordered a simple garlic bread and a deep dish with meatball & the word "underwhelming " does not come close to describing just how bad this meal was. First the garlic bread, if you could call it that because there was next to no garlic to be found. It was more like lightly buttered bread that had barely been completely toasted. There was no garlic flavor and if it wasn't for the decently tasting sauce, there is no reason for this to even exist. Continuing that theme, the pizza was not cooked well and was not cut all the way through, which would be fine if the outside of the crust around the edges was not already cracking off. The pizza was severely underdone and I ended up having to finish cooking the two slices I was able to put down in my own oven at home, which is not why I purchased this in the first place. If I wanted it as a take and bake I could've ordered that way. What they call meatball was wafer thin with no taste and resembled more like a flavorless pepperoni. I have had Giordano's in Chicago and it was so much better that I cannot even believe they are calling this by the same name. I spent over 30 years in the restaurant business, and I have not been more disappointed by a meal that I was excited for in more years than I care to remember and which had let me down completely in every way. If there was a way to give it zero stars I would. I wish I had my $35 back and sadly they lost somebody who would have been a very, very loyal customer if they had done things right. Fool me once... read more

Giordano's - So-called "Garlic Bread" - Italian Near Me - Orlando, Florida

The pizza, prices, service , and ambiance is good, it definitely is not the best pizza I've ever had but I would definitely go back!

If you want a cheese pull Instagram video and nothing else, you can't go wrong with Giordano's. It's a block of string cheese so large your lactose pill will balk at the task. If you want a pizza that has evenly spaced toppings, enough sauce to negate the literal pounds of mozzarella, and a light and buttery crust, you should probably look elsewhere. Outside of the cheese, the rest of the pizza consistently misses the mark. The only positive I remember about the pizza was pulling a slice and the banana peppers on top. Everything else seemed like an after thought, especially the crust which was closer to a cracker because of how dry it was. You'd think chocking down the crust would be made easier with the amount of sauce they put on top but it's really not - the pizza is like a black hole for moisture and sauce. You're not sure where it goes but by the time you take three bites, you're stuck with a brick of cold cheese and a self loathing reminder of Florida's mediocre food options. This isn't a knock on the people who work here though - they were all great and super pleasant throughout the pickup process, quick as it was. I'd usually recommend dining in instead of takeout for a meal like this as a means of giving it another shot but I've already been to the Giordano's in Chicago, eaten there, and have still walked away feeling the same way. It's not the employees fault, it may just be a Giordano's thing. read more

Our delivery order was 40 minutes late and the pizza was probably some of the worst I have ever had. The cheese was completely congealed and tasted like cardboard, probably because it had sat in a box for too long. Do yourself a favor and don't order from here. The only good thing I can say is the delivery driver texted with accurate pickup time and pickup place. read more

Restaurant looked great. Pizza was ok. Kids loved it. We ordered a thin crust with mushrooms and pepperoni. The "toppings" were buried under the cheese. Lots of cheese. Can't imagine if we ordered extra cheese. Flavorful, yet too cheesy for myself. Pizza was cut in squares. Friendly staff. Pizza was to be ready between 5:20 and 5:30. It was marked that it came out at 5:02. Needless to say, it was just warm when we got it. We were located just across the street from restaurant, so it wasn't because we traveled far with it. Inside there was plenty of seating. Seems to be a nice place to eat in, we just chose takeout. Not our typical thin crust style of pizza. Maybe for others. read more

Excellent!!! Great atmosphere and service, best Chicago pizza in town!! We will definitely be back

First time but will not be the last. This place made me have a second look at pizza. It was so authentic. The flavors were on point. This pizza had chicken sausage since some in my party did not eat pork, green peppers and onions. This pizza was truly delicious. Couldn't eat all so brought home and it was as delicious as when it was first brought to the table. The server was very helpful and cheerful. This place is comfortable not fancy but has delicious food. read more

When in Orlando... deep dish pizza must be had! The boys like Hawaiian Pizza and the waiter Paul was so accommodating! He had the small pizzas from the kids menu made into Hawaiian pizzas with Canadian bacon and pineapple. They loved them! My daughter (an adult) and I shared a small deep dish and had leftovers! We asked for her half to include pepperoni and pineapple. Just look at that cheese! It's like what you see in commercials! The service was top notch! Thank again Paul! You made it a great experience! The ambiance was nice as always. Last night was a slow night from what I heard them say. And from what I've experienced too. I thought we would have to wait but we got seated right away. There were plenty of people eating, it just wasn't slammed. No complaints here since we had a movie to go to! read more

I went at this place with a family of 10, server was really nice and we ordered 2 Deep Pizzas, I had almost one untouchable pizza because was one was enough for us since the slices was very generous and the Pizza was rich in cheese and pepperoni, bacon and all of the good things to make the pizza great. However, one of the pizzas that I brought home, the top wasn't uncooked well, you really could tell, I did put on microwave to warm up and oven right after, too still uncooked: ( Wife did complaint about her stomach for a few days after she ate at restaurant and the one I brought home it really didn't have a good turnout :( Disappointed because it isn't a cheap pizza. Well, I then before I written this review here about our experience, o decided to sent an email (message) using their website and never heard back from them. When you go, make sure that the Too is cooked, because that can really hurts your stomach, it usually takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour to be ready to eat, be patient. Hope this comment helps you, good luck. read more

We had the cheese garlic bread and Chicago style pizza. Great attentive wait staff. Great pizza and top notch ingredients.

Worst pizza I've ever had. It was like eating cardboard with sauce and cheese. I wish I could give Zero stars

A very decent visit to Giordano's. We were craving some deep dish pizza so we found ourselves here. The restaurant was clean and bright and the service was good. We started with their boneless wings in bbq sauce, which were good with nice crispy outside. The spaghetti bolognese leaves a bit more to be desired, as it didn't have much salt or sauce but just lots of meat in minimal sauce. The menu states that the deep dish pizzas take about 45 minutes to bake, which is very good to be up front about since it did feel like we were waiting a while. The pizza itself was huge and filling and had lots of toppings. I liked that the bottom crust holds up the rest of the pizza even with all of the heavy fillings. Overall a good visit. Nothing really stood out but everything was good nonetheless. read more

Fabulous food and mellow atmosphere- side note if you have Mickey as a server you're in for a great time

My party, including myself, is from Chicago. We moved to Florida long ago, and this is as close as we can get to our hometown pizza. The service at this location during our visit was exceptional. Our drinks were refilled in a timely manner, and our waiter - Adam was kind and on top of our requests. Oh, and the bathrooms are very clean! Great job! read more

Best Chicago style deep dish around! The double pepperoni pan is also highly recommended 10/10 service was outstanding!

The food is always great here at this location. We eat here every time we are in Orlando. Great food with great service! Best deep dish pizza south of the Mason Dixon line! read more

All I can say is yum!! We arrived and it was super busy, like most places they were short staffed but we're doing their best to accommodate everyone. The staff is super friendly and attentive. The deep dish pizza is the way to go, takes about 45 minutes but is well worth the wait! It is dangerously delicious! The Greek salad was great as well- that dressing was tasty. All the food came out perfectly! Will definitely be back! read more

Was great being able to enjoy them in Orlando, however they were a little skimpy on the toppings. Plenty of cheese and sauce, but not much meat on the pepperoni, salami, and mushroom we ordered. Was my first time being able to expose my wife to Chicago deep dish pizza. A better portioning of meat would've sent this over the top. My first time trying them was actually in Chicago, so wasn't the official visit, but good enough to give her a taste. We did takeout by the way. read more

Giordano's - Went with a special Pepperoni, Salami, and Mushroom pizza on this visit. - Italian Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This was my second time visiting the ole Giordano's and it was a pretty good time! A Friday night with no wait ...was the first winner for me. My table mates and I were promptly seated and our server came and took drink orders shortly after. It was a long day, so we knew what we wanted to order immediately. lol. No wait necessary. The table ordered a large cheese pizza, Buffalo wings with blue cheese, a Caesar salad, cheesy bread and fries for the kids. After about 20 mins, the salad and bread came out.. then the wings and pizza. No problems here. Everything was the way I imagined it; especially that bread. It may have exceeded my expectations tbh. Our server was good and kept our drinks topped off and was super attentive to everyone's needs. The only concern I had was with the blue cheese. There were lots of bubbles in it........and it was kinda disturbing lol. As I dipped my wing...the bubbles were popping...so I decided to avoid a food poisoning event and leave that stuff alone. I thought it may have been some sort of oxidation....but I wasn't feeling overly curious lol. All in all...everything was great. If you're ever in the Orlando area and want some good pizza ...this is your spot. Just order ahead if you want that deep dish. That guy takes a solid 45 mins. read more

Having grown up in Chicago, I grew up with great deep dish pizza. The carry out host Zara was also very helpful. Overall great experience!

Server was super super nice!!! Very clean location. Pizza was ok....we got thin crust and it was like a wetish cracker. Our pineapple ham and cheese pizza looked like they put ham and cheese on it, melted the cheese and then sprinkled with pieces of pineapple which wasn't put through the oven. Very different. Everything was fresh and tasted good except the crust. Maybe that's Chicago pizza? read more

PLEASE have someone from Giordano's in Chicago come out to help! I fell in love w/ Chicago Giordano's years ago. When we had the opportunity to visit again that was the first place I went. Yesterday was a long travel day from CA. and when I saw they had one here in Fl., we immediately called in an order 2 pizzas. The chicken & bacon needed more chicken. The BBQ chicken pizza was so smothered in sauce that you couldn't taste anything else. They got the crust right & very cheesy, so don't order "extra cheese." I'd say they were 1/2 there (should be 2.5stars ) towards the original Giordano's pizza-perfection. read more

My kid and I visiting from Texas and wanted some good pizza. The dough was like a thick tortilla and dry. I asked for onions, peppers and sausage. The veggies were raw. I'm not kidding when I say a frozen pizza would have been way better and cheaper ($27)! We are 3 pieces and had to throw the rest in the trash. Not sure if this happened because I order a thin crust and their specialty is maybe Chicago style. I have no idea. Staff was great and very friendly. read more

Basel was an awesome waiter and very personable! We got a large pie (absolutely huge) and a ceaser salad. The pie did take the 35-40 minutes as promised but is so worth the wait. The crust is buttery and the pie is loaded with meat, cheese, and sauce. Giordano's is a must-do every time we come to Orlando. read more

I went to this location with the kids this evening. Had Ryan as our waiter, and he was awesome! He was very attentive to our drinks, and his conversation was a welcome extra to the experience. He had a great demeanor and was observed to be the same with all the tables he had. He was prompt with our drinks, the appetizer, and our food. On arrival of the food, it looked and tasted wonderful. My kids...the true taste testers, were happy as we dad who was miserably stuffed!
