Sometimes a place is at its best when things go very wrong. We've ordered from there since 2019. Always enjoyed it. Today, the delivery person screwed up badly. They use an outside vendor and this time, that vendor was terrible. I called to complain. Spoke to someone for about a minute. The problem was solved. This is why we keep going back. read more

Meat & More Deep Dish Pizza: I tried this one and it was delicious, loaded with meat and plenty of cheese. Super filling too; honestly, one slice was enough for me! Dense, hearty, and enjoyable, though it didn't reheat as well the next day. 8.5/10 Service: The staff was very friendly, and our order came out quickly. We did takeout this time, and everything went smoothly. 10/10 read more

I ordered the deep dish pizza and it was delicious ....the service was excellent and plenty of seating!!

It's my first ever visit to Chicago and when in the Windy City; it just seems appropriate to have Chicago deep dish pizza. My first deep dish pizza experience took place via a visit to Giordano's. Giordano's is actually a chain that specializes in Chicago deep dished pizza. It was founded in Chicago way back in 1974. When we got here; we we were told it would take at least 45 minutes for a deep dish pizza. They make everything fresh to order and hence the wait. Good things come to those who wait however and so we ended up getting a salad to start off along with a pizza. For our salad order; we got the Giordano's House Salad. this came with spring greens, baby tomatoes, shaved fennel and shaved asiago cheese. The dressing was lemon vinaigrette. The salad was simple and light. It was a good starter that wasn't too heavy and gave us room for the star of the night; the deep dish pizza. For the deep dish pizza; we got The Special. This pizza has sausage, mushrooms, green peppers and onions.The pizzas come in small, medium and large size. We got the medium and it was eight large slices that was perfect for three people. Wow! My first deep dish pizza experience was amazing. I absolutely loved the thick, cheesy and buterry crust. It was packed with flavor! I normally am more of a fan of the savory toppings in a pizza versus the crust but the crust here was truly the highlight. If all deep dish pizzas are like this; I'm all in. Don't get me wrong; the toppings of sausage, mushrooms, green peppers and onions were quite excellent too but it was the crust that really won me over. I ate two slices and I was so full! One would've been plenty. I was really impressed with just how good and how fulfilling the pizza was here. I'm happy I was able to try my first ever deep dish pizza and happy that was it at Giordano's. Visiting here made for a great first night in Chicago! read more

We came here last night and the place was practically empty, and yet our service was terrible... first of all, she didn't let us know until after we placed our order that the pizza would take 45 minutes, and it was already 7pm. I'm sorry if this is a known thing about deep dish pizza but I've never experienced this before with other places. She also upcharged me for my dirty martini which we didn't see till the bill - she didn't ask me what liquor I wanted for it, so I assumed it would be bottom shelf, but she went ahead and chose a very high shelf one without even telling me. The pizza was honestly okay; a bit disappointing. Our server never came by to check on us. Twice we had to get up to find her to ask for napkins and to order another beer. And both times she was just sitting with coworkers gossiping. Not worth the $70 bill sadly. read more

We were staying in town and were too tired to go out so we ordered pizza from here because it was close and had good reviews. What a disappointment. After we ordered, the app said our pizzas would be delivered in 30-35 minutes, 70 minutes later our food arrived cold. Thankfully we had a microwave in our room so we were able to warm it up. The Margahrita pizza had a stunning lack of cheese and an unpleasant flavor. We also had an Italian sausage and mushroom pizza that was awful, very weird flavor that had people hoping they wouldn't end up with food poisoning. The only thing that was good was the mozzarella triangle and the marina sauce it came with. Very expensive ($72) for food you couldn't eat. read more

Delivery service has gotten HORRIBLE. We order every 2-3 weeks for delivery. Last month arrived cold. Couple weeks cold. Tonight cold. I saw the delivery person go to house across the street with food in hand; NOT IN THERMAL FOOD BAG. It's single digits temperatures outside and the guys walking with food not protected from elements. Needless to say the food was cold. I wouldn't have such an issue except I'm being charged for delivery fee AND driver fee. We also tip the driver. Their service is getting worse and worse. I'd rather order from a cheap chain than have cold food. read more

Giordano's is a Chicago staple. Often, with expansion comes a decline in quality. Not with Giordano's case! They've been able to maintain their classic flavor and texture... it's the same as the 80's when I first had true Chicago-style pizza. Although the newly built restaurants have lost a bit of their classic charm, they're clean, open and perfect for small or large gatherings. The location I visited (in Schaumburg) had very friendly, kind, and welcoming servers. ...just what you hope for in an era where service seems to decline. read more

Waited for over an hour for my pick up order for it to not be in the system. I had people waiting for the food and the only thing I was offered was to wait for another hour for my food. Their excuse was that their system is kinda glitchy. Also, the person taking my order over the phone, was very short with me, so in reality I'm not even sure she placed my order. Not a good experience read more

BLUF: food was okay, service was clumsy and uncoordinated Went with a large group on Saturday evening. We ordered several deep dish pizzas for the entire group, and a few individuals ordered some different entrees due to dietary considerations. About half of us also ordered appetizers. Some people ordered alcoholic drinks as well. The pizza was pretty good. Actually I found a kind of land without adding salt and hot pepper to it, but the toppings were pretty generous and there was plenty of cheese on the pies. But they could definitely use with a more seasoned sauce or other ingredients to add flavor to the pizza. The calamari was rubbery, the batter was very bland and unseasoned, and the dish was called by the time it came out. The bruschetta was actually very tasty, and the Caesar salads were very good as well. Greek salads were underdressed. Two of these separate entries that were ordered came out incorrect. The biggest issue we had was we ended up eating our meal almost backwards. Our appetizers arrived after almost all the pizza was gone so we ended up having our main course before appetizers. A couple of the entrees, by the time they were served correctly, came out even after that. It was overall just a very disjointed meal. I think our waitress might have been relatively new and she was definitely handling a lot of tables so that could have explained some of this. But even if the service had been Stellar I don't think I would go back again because the food just wasn't that great. The fact it was served sort of out of order and therefore some of it was cold by the time it was served may have had something to do with that as well. read more

I was dying to get back to this place and it did not disappoint. The service was quick and efficient. I didn't dine in so I couldn't gauge the staff fully. But I can attest to the cleanliness and the amazing taste of the food. It was still warm by the time I got back to the room. The first bite was like returning to grace. This place is staple to try just like a Philly in Pennsylvania. Do your taste buds a favor and order one of these when you're in Chicago! read more

Good spot in Schaumburg location. Yummy ingredient filled deep dish, got the vegetarian tavern and deep dish style pizzas. No lack of veggies here. Nice staff and great chopped salad. Comfy booth and table seatings and full bar. They have their own spin in deep dish with a doughy cheesy texture that lays in between the layer of the deep dish. read more

Giordano's - Chopped salad - Pizza Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

There was atrocious service when we first walked in and we had to wait over 15 minutes until a hostess came to us, and when she did come she told us we were unable to be seated due to not having enough open seating as there was various open booths. Then she started telling us there was made up reservations and couldn't tell us a consistent number and kept slipping up which was suspicious as it is. Then as we were walking outside of the restaurant to go back to our car obviously irritated due to already having to wait 20 minutes just to get told to leave, the hostess that lied to us started making racist remarks and giving us nasty looks. I think the ambience of the restaurant was inappropriate and there was sauce and dirt all over the floors clearly as if it hadn't been cleaned in a long time. I would not recommend visiting this restaurant as you likely won't even get served. The people that work here are disgraceful and offensive and improper. read more

Easy ordering process online. Order was accurate. It took driver 25min for food to be delivered and seemed to be without an insulated bag. Food was overdone and cold. No one in my family ate it and it was a waste of $42. Better off ordering from Dominoe's or Pizza Hut. read more

A Deep-Dish Dream You've GOT to Try! From the moment you walk in, you can feel the buzz--families, tourists, Chicago aficionados--all eagerly awaiting their signature pies. Yes, Giordano's is the quintessential stuffed deep-dish pizza destination, and it totally lives up to the hype. Let me talk toppings first: you can't beat the gooey mountain of mozzarella stuffed between two layers of buttery crust. One Yelp reviewer said, "The crust is thick and deliciously crispy... it doesn't get soggy" . I absolutely agree--crispy on the outside, pillowy on the inside, it holds up marvelously to all that cheesy goodness without turning mushy. The sauce is another highlight. A Serious Eats deep-dish roundup dubbed the Chicago Classic at Giordano's "a visual show‑stopper... practically measure the cheese pull in yards" . During my visit, I witnessed exactly that: each slice came with a majestic waterfall of cheese--not just photo-ready, but seriously memorable in flavor. Other reviewers confirm: "Great sauce, great cheese, fantastic crust" . Yes, it's a big investment of time--up to 45 minutes for that stuffed masterpiece--but that's part of the experience. One reviewer on Yelp noted the server was "brutally honest" about the wait and insisted it was worth it . I couldn't agree more. In addition to the hero dish, don't sleep on the appetizers. One party raved, "Their calamari appetizer was light, tender..." . Pair that with the sampler platter and you've got a meal that truly satisfies from start to finish. Service and ambiance are solid, too. The space feels authentically Chicago--checkered tablecloths, old‑school vibe, energetic crowd. While some reviews mention the wait area can get chaotic , the staff works hard to keep things moving and friendly under the pressure. What really stands out is the consistency. Yelp users claim it's better than Lou's and delivers that dependable stuffed deep-dish experience . I can vouch: it's exactly what you dream of when you crave a proper Chicago deep‑dish. Final thoughts: If you're looking for the deep-dish experience in Chicago, Giordano's is a no-brainer. Yes, bring reading material or come with friends to chat during the wait. But when that first slice hits your plate--melting cheese, rich tangy sauce, and crust made to perfection-- every minute feels worthwhile. A true Chicago classic--and unforgettable. Pro tip: Order ahead or get a sampler appetizer to enjoy during the cook time. Once you've tasted that cheese-stuffed wonder, you'll be planning your next visit before you're done. read more

Disinterested Staff. Walked out and went to Giordano's on Higgins in Rosemont. Been to several Giordano's around Chicago-land area. Didn't have a chance to try the food at this location, absolutely horrible/non-existent service. Upon arrival, we were told 45 minutes, despite many open tables. Took a seat at the bar to have a drink and wait for the table. After 20 minutes of not being acknowledged, let alone being greeted (despite bar personnel performing activities behind the bar!) we walked out. If this were the first Giordano's experience we would AVOID GIORDANO'S FOREVER. Did I say horrible/non-existent service!!!! read more

I'm not sure why this spot doesn't rate higher. Yes, there are two main pizza places in Chicago: Giordano's and Lou's. They are different, but I like them both. In fact, Lou's changed hands from the original family, and our last time there wasn't the same. But this Giordano's location is solid. We got half and half-- the cheese and the special, which is sausage and veggies. Giordano's is known for their "stuffed" pizza, meaning the sauce is on top and the cheese and veggies stuffed underneath. It was tasty and filling! Service was basic, but we got what we needed. The cocktails are also basic (a fruit lemonade, margarita, Bloody Mary etc). They were also terrible and heavy and sweet, so I recommend a pass. They also have thin crust pizza, extra thin crust pizza, Italian dishes, and sandwiches, but I can't imagine anything beats the deep dish stuffed pizza. Plenty of parking. We got there at 5 PM and were seated promptly. It wasn't busy. By 6:30-7 PM it was getting pretty crowded. It seemed there was a hotel shuttle dropping off several groups of tourists. Our pizza was 38 dollars. We each had to very filling slices each and took home four pieces. Definitely recommend. read more

First try at Chicago deep dish and the pizza was really good unfortunately that's not entirely what this app is representing. I'm going with 3 stars because it simply took just too long to get checked out and get service. I understand they're probably short staffed so I went with 4 out of 5 stars for the effort. My one critique is try to get people checked out quick if you're going to make them wait 45 minutes for a deep dish pizza to get made (: Appreciate the service regardless. read more

MEAL: Dinner ORDER TYPE: Dine-in MEAL PREFERENCE: Vegetarian EST.: 2015 FIRST LOCATION: Chicago's history south side in February 1974 MY ORDER EXPERIENCE: This place does not need any introduction but being a Pizza lover, I had to pen down a review. This has been Chicago people's favorite Pizza place for 40 years and counting. It is a must-see for any tourists to their deep-dish pizza who visit Chicago. Giordano's has been acclaimed as Chicago's Best Pizza by various people, news channels etc. Like others, my friend had been wanting to try this place for a while, so we made a trip to Giordano's on N Meacham Road. Most of the time the place is always full so just to be sure we called for a reservation and thankfully it was a walk-in because of a weekday. We went up to the counter and asked for a booth, as there were a lot of seats available, we were seated right away. The booth felt comfortable and sufficient. They had a QR code scan menu for us to check out the menu and the menu for drinks was on a menu stand holder. The waiter came over and asked for our order. Upon reviewing the delicious extensive wide variety of food items in the menu, we ordered Mozzarella Triangles from the Starters section. Then for the main course we ordered Super Veggie Deep Dish (s) pizza. The waiter said that it would take 45 min approx. for our deep dish to come out so as we were waiting for our food, we also ordered drinks. I ordered a Michigan Avenue Margarita as my drink. First, the waiter served us with the Michigan Avenue Margarita drink which was made with a combination of Tequila, Triple Sec, Agave nectar and lime juice with lemon on side and kosher salt around the glass edges. Both the drink and presentation were good. I liked my drink. Second, the Mozzarella Triangles had arrived. They were 6 crispy, golden colored Mozzarella triangles which looked appealing and were served hot. They were cheesy and went well with marinara sauce on the side. The more you eat, and you do not want to stop it. They were the BEST. Lastly, the popular dish of the night had arrived which was our Super Veggie deep dish pizza. The Pizza was thick stuffed with cheese on the side and looked delicious. There were a total of 8 slices which had mushrooms, green peppers, onions, garlic coated broccoli, spinach, and black lives. I do not remember when I had the last time, but I felt like I was eating for the first time. The Pizza was good and cheese was oozing out of it. After a couple of slices, I could not dig in anymore as I was already super full. Later, we had to ask for a To-Go box. The staff were patient and allowed us to finish even after closing time. The place seemed still busy during the weekday but still the waiter checked on us whenever she could. The price for food was on the higher side for us but as it was one time experience we had to compromise. The place looked LIT with lights, decor and eye-catching EAT PIZZA sign. They had separated out both the full bar and restaurant section. They also had a wide variety of seating types based on preference. The outside had a patio and looked like Christmas time with all the lights they had. The parking was sufficient in a busy area like that. Overall, we had an enjoyable experience. Also, my friend ordered Boneless Chicken Wings and Michigan Avenue Margarita, and he said those were good. I would bring back my friends or family whenever they visited CHICAGO. Also, someday I would like to check out their first location in Chicago for the experience. read more

I ordered several pizzas online early in the day for a 6:40 delivery for a party which was attended by several small children. The cost was over $250 dollars. I called the store to ask if they had any coupons or discounts for a big order and the man on the phone told me he was filling in, it wasn't his store, so no. I was okay with that until it was 6:50 and my pizza hadn't arrived. I called the store to check on my order and was told I should have ordered for a scheduled delivery (I did) and that the pizza was ready but there was no driver. The order would go out when one arrived. I'm 20 minutes from this location. Finally, I started to receive updates on the delivery. It arrived at 7:25 - 45 minutes late, semi warm, and no where near worth the $ I paid for it. Plus I had a house full of hungry toddlers and spent time at my party stressing about the food. Today I checked the drivers notes and it said he was at the restaurant at 6:25 but didn't leave with my order until almost 7, which indicates that my order was not ready when he arrived. Someone lied to me about my order, and I won't be doing business at this location again (I am a frequent customer). read more

CHEESE, OH GLORIOUS CHEESE! We had to stop for the famous Chicago deep dish pizza while on our business trip in Chicago area. On last night we found our way to Giordano's and this place delivered that experience. MEAT AND MORE MEAT DEEP DISH - Pepperoni, salami, sausage and bacon. This pizza was deep and that deep crust was filled with tons of cheese. As you lift a piece from the pie, strings of glorious cheese stretch a mile high. The pizza sauce was also delicious. The crust was ok. It was crispy, and did not have a yeasty backbone. I may be picky but found the crust a little dry for my personal taste. TIPS: - Deep dish pizzas take ~45 min to bake. Be prepared to wait. - Call your order in advance. We were 1 hour out. We called and ordered pizza and it was ready about 5 min after we arrived. read more

What happens to this place? We were a table of 12 for a go away party. Jo was our server, she did ok in the beginning but then disappeared and no where to be found, we received our deep dish cold, the cheese didn't even stretch. The crust was smashed and broken, we never got asked how the food was, we never received second round of drinks. We had to flag her down, she came back with a tall glass of water so we can refill our drinks and it was not even enough. We needed more plates so we had to grab some from other tables. I have never been disappointed. We drove 45 minutes to come to this location to meet family. I don't think I would be back to this location again and I won't recommend this place to family and friends. Gratuity was included and she didn't deserve that. read more
