    Two slices & a can of pop, $12.04 tax incl.
    Robert S.

    This patch of Broadway is about the closest Chicago gets to looking like the Bronx. Characters go in, they come out. The lady managing the counter was definitely a type. You be polite, and she'll be polite. It's a no-nonsense, no frills kind of place. They have a couple of specials: Two slices and a can of pop or one slice & fries and a can of pop. Either way, the sausage pizza was very good.

    Gigio's brings me back to New York with its pizza and vibe. Prices are reasonable and quality is just what you'd expect from a low key pizza spot. Dining area is minimal. This is more of a to go spot, and service is friendlier than your typical NYer. They'll ask if you want your pizza cut in squares or slices. You better choose the latter. Pizza comes with lots of cheese, a sweet sauce, and crust is the right balance of sturdy and foldable. Getting a bigger pie will give you the crust you're looking for. Gigio's does have Chicago classics like Italian beef, pasta, and more. Service was prompt, pizzas were made quick, and the dining area is clean. I'll be back.

    Thick Chicago crust... gross!

    New York style pizza is Chicago style crust... I was told I had to ask for super thin, when for 10 years I have gotten extra extra thin slices.

    Came highly recommended by my brother-in-law, even went so far as to order two extra large half cheese half sausage unbaked, frozen, to bring with me on a plane to North Carolina, as he could only think of one thing he wanted from Chicago, and that was his Gigio's pizza. Simple menu, family owned, and certainly has created a lot of memories for people all over the city. New York City style, Can order a whole pie or just a slice to go. Limited seating available, total hole in the wall, but sometimes those are the best kind of places! If you are lucky, the owner, Giovani, may be there checking to make sure the pizza is on point! Old school italiano New York style pizza at its finest!

    The suspicious charge.

    Bad greasy drippy pizza and I had to dispute a phone charge on my debit card. This was the last placed I used my debit card and I think they cloned it!

    overall for sure this is a nice late night spot for pizza, always get a s (12") for me. Pepperoni and cheese for the last 3 times ? Service is fast, nice, efficient for the most part. The average wait for a fresh pizza is like 20 minutes. The ambiance of the place will remind you of what a semi decent pizza place will look like! Overall would recommend to anyone who is looking for pizza late at night !

We ordered the pepperoni deep dish and the pepperoni tavern style. The deep dish arrives in a cast iron pan, featuring caramelized crust that edges on burnt for a perfect, crispy crunch. The base is thick and doughy, layered with some mozzarella, a tasty sauce, and slightly charred pepperoni. The tavern style provides a nice contrast. Served cut into squares, it has a solid thin crust that holds up nicely under some melted cheese and loads of flat pepperoni. This remains my absolute favorite deep dish in Chicago, and I go anytime I'm in town visiting. Pro tip: Make a reservation well in advance because walk-in wait times get incredibly long.

    Please be warned that on a warm and humid day in Chicago Pequod had no AC for being seated inside!…read moreI was sweating while having this pizza lol. I had high expectations for this place but it was honestly underwhelming. The pizza had too much cheese, extra costs for adding toppings, and the crust was nothing memorable. Appetizers were good. My group shared jalapeño poppers and the chicken bites, good sized portion chicken and both came with sauce without asking so that was nice. Overall, I really wanted to like this place but it wasn't there as a tourist who's had pizza from different parts in the US. It was a nice try as a first and last time.

However we arrived earlier than scheduled and we ended up getting settled at our hotel so we walked and went in early. We arrived at 4pm and they let us in - was perfect because it wasn't busy. It's my son's first visit to Chi-town so I think this is a good first meal. We got the Chicago meatballs so we can eat something as the deep dish pizza takes 30 mins. The meatballs are flavorful and filled us up until we get our pizza. We picked the Malnati's Chicago classic - medium. The butter crust is really good and the cheese to meet ratio is balanced. While it is deep dish - it didn't feel like it's super thick, I think the butter crust was the difference. It was quiet when we arrived and we were seated in the dining area by the back in the ground level. There was only 1 group and another couple when we arrived so it wasn't loud. I'm sure when it's peak hours it'll be more festive and busy. Great first meal - order some starters if you're hungry. Medium was quite big for 2 people but good if you want to have some slices to-go.

Maybe I am not a big fan of Chicago style pizza. I do know whatever pizza I had wasn't very good. The dough was not done through the middle. So bites of it was filled with raw dough. We had olives, and those taste very tinny - Like a strong metallic taste. Our other friend got an Italian beef sandwich that also wasn't very good. Kind of a tourist trap, is you ask me.

It was dark and way too cold for a summer afternoon. This place piqued our interest as we saw it was rated top in the world and supposedly better than deep dish. High expectations no doubt.

We came with a party of six and had a reservation for six, but our table felt more appropriate for four people. The restaurant itself is spacious, so it was disappointing that we felt so cramped. We started with the calamari, which I really enjoyed. The batter was light and crispy without feeling greasy. We also shared the seafood pizza, duck prosciutto pizza, cup and char pepperoni pizza, and the gnocchi. All three pizzas were delicious, with very thin and crispy crusts. The seafood pizza came with a soup or broth that you could pour over it, which was nice and it also came with so much seafood. The cheese was slightly firm, but the pizza was still flavorful and enjoyable. The duck prosciutto had a noticeable duck aroma, melty cheese, and a rich, savory flavor. The cup and char pepperoni pizza was satisfying as well, especially the pepperoni with its crisp, curled edges. The gnocchi was another standout. It was satisfyingly chewy with a great texture and bold flavor. We finished with the tiramisu, which was light, balanced, and not overly sweet. Overall, the food was delicious and the waterfront setting made for a lovely dinner. I just wish we had been seated at a more comfortable table for our party size.
