It's gonna be heavy, take 30-45 minutes to bake, and one or two slices will fill you up so be prepared. Trust me it's all worth it. I went to both Perquod locations, and this one has such lovely city vibes. So many people told me to check them out. The service was great. I love that this location has two stories. This pizza is incredible as always. Already planning another trip back and I can't wait!

Good food. Phenomenal service. Beautiful atmosphere. I have zero complaints about our experience…read morevisiting Lou Malnati's. It was mid-afternoon when we visited and I'd gone online to make a reservation prior to our visit, but that wasn't really necessary. We were greeted warmly by the hostess and shown to a booth in the back room...far away from the cold draft of the front door. Our server came over to take our drink orders right away and we ordered a Caesar salad to share. I found it odd that their Caesar comes with tomatoes, but it must be a Chicago thing because I saw that on the menu of another pizzeria that we visited while in town. The salad was delicious and we enjoyed every bite of it. We also ordered a small pepperoni pie (deep dish) and were surprised at just how small it was. It was almost like a personal size...but let me tell you, the personal size is tiny! One slice of the small pie nearly took up the space of the entire personal sized pie that we took home with us. While in-store, I signed up for their rewards program and got a coupon for a free personal sized pie, with some stipulations. It was to-go only and you had to spend at least $10, but our dine-in order could not count towards that total. It had to be processed as a separate transaction. That was no problem for us since we were headed back to our hotel and had a full kitchen there, we decided to order wings along with our free baby-sized pie to-go. The wings were phenomenal. Top tier. A+. Highly recommend! I actually preferred the sausage pie that we took home over the pepperoni pie, and that's not usually my vibe. I think something about the grease in the sausage lends itself to the moisture of the pie. The pepperoni pie was a little dry. Overall, we loved the atmosphere and the service, so we would definitely come back again in the future.

How did we end up here... Giordano's, Chicago…read more One of those moments where you don't overthink it -- you just follow the craving. And somehow, it led us straight to one of Chicago's most iconic spots. Giordano's lives up to the hype. The deep-dish pizza isn't just a meal -- it's an experience. From the first cut to that perfectly layered bite, you get everything you expect from Chicago-style pizza and more. rich, flavorful sauce layers of melty cheese a thick, buttery crust that holds it all together It's hearty, it's indulgent, and definitely something you take your time with. The atmosphere felt exactly right -- lively, welcoming, and full of people clearly enjoying the moment. If you're visiting Chicago and want to try something that truly represents the city, this is a must. Some places you plan for... and some you just find your way to. How did we get here?

Super thin, super crispy, and holds up without getting soggy. 9.7/10. The pepperoni + hot honey combo was perfect. The flavor was amazing and everything just worked together perfectly. 9.8/10. The Italian beef + giardiniera half was good too, more savory and heavier, but the meat had more of a pulled texture than actual than expected. 7.5/10. The seafood skillet didn't really land for me. It had too much wine flavor and the breadcrumbs got soggy fast. 4/10. Overall, come here for the pizza only. That's what makes this spot worth fighting for reservations.

Found my party and immediately ordered a pint of beer. We ordered some hot wings (the first ones they brought out were cold), and they were decent. We also ordered a supreme pizza, and I thought it was okay--unfortunately nothing to write home about. I found it a bit bland and just missing flavor. The onion rings, though, were absolutely fantastic. Service was top notch, and we were so well taken care of. I honestly can't imagine how they handled so many customers that night--kudos to the team. And the bathrooms were super clean, which I always appreciate. I'd definitely go back for a pint and to watch the game.

The second you walk in, the entire atmosphere just feels cozy, lively, welcoming, and honestly impossible to leave Between the views, the music, the energy, the smell of pizza coming out of the oven nonstop... it's genuinely one of our favorite spots in the city. We started with cocktails that were SO refreshing and perfectly made, then got surprised with burrata on the house which was such a sweet touch and absolutely incredible. Creamy, fresh, flavorful -- the kind of appetizer you immediately wish was twice the size because it disappears way too fast And then THE PIZZA. Their char pizza is seriously one of those pizzas you think about days later. Perfectly blistered crust, crispy edges, cheesy, saucy, with those little pepperoni cups that get crispy on top Every bite somehow tastes even better than the last and the crust alone deserves its own appreciation post honestly. As if we weren't already completely obsessed with the experience, they ALSO brought out flan on the house for dessert and WOW. Smooth, creamy, rich, perfectly balanced sweetness with the whipped cream and caramel... literally the perfect ending to such an amazing dinner. But honestly what keeps making us fall in love with Robert's over and over again isn't just the food -- it's the entire experience. The service is ALWAYS incredible, everyone is so welcoming and attentive, and the ambiance is truly unmatched. It's one of those places where dinner turns into sitting around talking longer because you genuinely don't want the night to end

Food reviews: Truffle and mushroom tavern--light and well balanced. Delicate sweet notes from the red onion balance out the earthiness of the mushroom, truffle and charred crust. Cheese doesn't overwhelm the pie and compliments all ingredients with a salty bite Spicy vodka and sausage--so different than the first pie but equally as delicious! Vodka sauce has a deep flavor with only subtle heat. Sausage packs a ton of flavor. Heavier of the two pies since it had more cheese on it but my husband enjoyed Chocolate peanut butter sundae--birthday celebration treat brought by our server! Wow it's a must order.

For food - we ordered the blooming onion (forget what they call it), the wings, and two pizzas. My husband tried a gin cocktail and beer, both which he enjoyed. Onion 4/5 - tasty and good dipping sauce Wings 5/5 - crispiest wing I have ever had and they might be my favorite in Chicago... hot honey was delicious. Carmalized onion 3.5/5 - this was very tasty, perfect crispy edges and fluffy center. The flavor was good but could have used some acid to break up the richness Vodka meat pizza 4/5 - very tasty. I think the vodka sauce could be fine tuned but overall really enjoyed. We had pizza a lot lately so skipped the classics but if we come back I'd probably try the pepperoni and/or sausage.
