Giordano’s

My husband and I made our way here late in the evening, and were the last people to leave. The staff was extremely courteous, and they didn’t rush us, even though they could have.
Having heard so much about the chain, but not able to find a seat at one of their downtown locations we came to this one with a bit of trepidation, not being the biggest fans of franchised pizza joints so far. This one was great though, no idea what the other locations are like but the food here was good, and the prices if not low and not ridiculous. Their menu doesn’t have the greatest variety, but then you know what you’re coming here for.
We shared a thin crust cheese and pepperoni pizza. The cheese was definitely better quality that from some other places that we’ve had 20 dollar pizzas at. The crust was good too, if not really thin, and they were generous with the toppings. I look forward to trying their traditional style deep dish on another trip to Chicago.

A great Chicago tradition! This location is on the smaller side (maybe 10 tables?) but has enough room for a large group and it’s BYOB.
Love the thin crust Special with sausage, bell pepper, mushroom, and onion. Delicious.

Small location for dining there, but delicious pizza and gr8 attentive service.
I recommend and am coming back.

I wish there was a way i could give them 0 star. I had hair in my food and everytime i called back they would put me on hold and then hang up.

BYOB!
This place reminds me of a sit down Pizza hut, but serving chicago deep dish.
You order at the register, wait 35 – 40 minutes, they serve you the pizza.
Now I’m not sure if Giordano’s is a good representation of Chicago deep dish pizza, but I did not enjoy as much as I thought I would. Cheese was DEEP, at least an inch of cheese! Cheese was super salty and crust was lacking in texture.

Order took forever. Then if you order online and then want to contact them to change something — you can’t because they don’t answer their phone. The delivery driver made me nearly come out to his car to get the pizza instead of coming up to my door. I will not order from here again. Service is bad.

perfect place to enjoy Italian pizzas or even to have date with your love ones, their pizza are serve hot, and are carefully crafted and planned out. Worth to wait, 20 to 30 minutes is just ok. This place capture every aspect of American flavor; every bite is something to savor.
I love to come back.

I had Gino’s before. So this is not the first time with the Deep Dish «Pizza» experience. As much as I criticize, how one can name this pie a pizza, I love eating it. Giordano’s is no exception and they do what they do the best. The Stuffed Pizza took ~45 min from the start to finish, which is sort of a bummer, though they warned me beforehand. Its worth it. The combination of cheese, sauce and the buttery crust. words can’t explain. Again this is not a regular meal. I covered three meals with a small pizza. Keep up the good work Giordano!

Went to dine-​in on Saturday night with my girlfriend and I loved the atmosphere. This Giordano’s locations is smaller than most but the pizza is just as delicious. The girl serving us was really kind and friendly, she was able to answer all of our questions. Will definitely be going back!

Was in here a few minutes ago. The girl working there was completely rude. We left for the bad service and would not be back again.

Personal deep dish was perfect size! Was about to add additional toppings for free too!
The wait for it is a bit long though. They told me it was going to be about 30 – 40 mins but really it was an hour.

This pizza is absolute garbage. A friend suggested that I try this nonsense, as I’ve never had deep-​dish before. I ordered it for delivery (which was probably a grave mistake) and a large with 4 toppings came up to FORTY AMERICAN DOLLARS, FRIENDS. I’m no broke boi, so this wasn’t an issue. However, after waiting for over an hour, this mess comes to our door and disappoints us almost immediately. I know that deep-​dish pizza is supposed to be «hearty» or whatever, but this was just a puddle of mediocre sauce spread generously (this feels like way too positive of an adverb) over a lukewarm «crust» that was pretty much the same thing as sad grocery store bread. The taste of the sauce reminds me of Chef Boyardee, no exaggeration. We ate three slices and now we have a solid 15 pounds of trash and nowhere to put it. The second I decided that I was finished with this burden, I made a Unilocal account specifically to let the general public know to avoid this place at all costs. I wish I could give negative stars.
I’m sure the people that work at this location are fine, upstanding individuals who pay their taxes on time and donate to their local charities. That’s all good and well, but if they bring a pizza within 50 feet of me, I’m calling the police.

My pregnant wife and I received a very severe case of FOOD POISONING from this location on October 10^th 2015 (Saturday) at around 9:45ish. I will never revisit this location and I also make sure to inform all other potential patrons to avoid this location at all cost.
That night and the following day, we were so sick throwing up chunks of deep dish pizza non-​stop and unable to take care of our 1 year old daughter. One of the worst food poisoning I have ever experienced.
Side note: all of the cooks were distracted watching a Mexican soccer game on the TV in the dining area when I arrived to pick up my order.
Buyer beware!

My first visit to Chicago had to include «Chicago style» pizza, and my friends recommended Giodarno’s. It was everything I had imagined! Thick, flavorful, delicious! Definitely recommend… I look forward to coming back for more.

I have found the perfect pizza. I love the stuffed pizza and have not tried one I didn’t love. BUT now I believe I have the essential pizza. The one that I will order from now on: Spinach and bacon. That’s all and it is beautiful.
Also if all you have tried us pizza – they have amazing salads. The chicken chopped has peas and I Asta and is wonderful.

I love Giordano’s as a whole. This particular location isn’t a standard dine-​in Giordano’s. It’s more of a take-​out and delivery joint, but it has a handful of tables and the décor is as good as you can expect from a take-​out place in a strip mall.
I like that I can get a big slice of thin crust if I’m solo, so I don’t have to buy a whole pizza. It’d be even more awesome if you could get the deep dish by the slice!

For as place that is supposed to have good Chicago style pizza – I was not impressed. You had to order at the counter, then take a seat at one of about 5 tables. Then go get your own pizza and drink when it was ready. And, it was a LLOONNGG time before we got the pizza.
I’d recommend going to some other place. It just felt yucky to be there.

Pizza was good… wings were crispy…
Said it would take an hr n half to get home, the brought it in under an hr…

Love Giordano’s! May seem strange for a westsider to admit, but I’ll take them over the other establishment named after a popular sports accomplishment. Good this location is smaller that most, but I had the crave and was ordering a carry out so it works for me!

Ok we all know I love pizza. I could eat it every day. I was so excited to finally get deep dish pizza. It has been a couple of years and I don’t discriminate. I love all kinds it just depends on my mood.
This is not the Giordano’s that I remembered. I would call this location the tiny, cave Giordano’s. It was so tiny. There were only a few tables there. It seemed that they do a lot of delivery and pick up. This should have been the first sign of disaster…
For starters we ordered a Caesar salad and again it wasn’t like I remembered. This whole experience was disappointing. What was more frustrating is that I finally got my boyfriend to agree to check out Chicago deep dish pizza.
So next was pizza time. Like I said it had been a couple of years so the taste I couldn’t exactly remember. It was hard for it to come back because it seemed that either #1 they barely finished cooking our pizza and it seemed cold or as my boyfriend said room temperature or #2 they took our pizza out and it sat out for a long, long time. Let’s be real, this is deep dish pizza if you left it out it was left out for awhile.
Our service was the bare minimum. We got our drinks and our food and that was about it. Very minimal communication. This trip was an epic fail. I’m so sad.
I don’t think I’m coming back to this location. I’m not even sure if I’m going to go to Giordano’s. *sad face* I’ll have to check out the other popular, established Chicago deep dish joints.
