It's been a long time since I've stopped through. Was walking past and decided on a hot and ready slice. When ordering, the slice is given a few minutes in a hot stove before being served. Decent and tasty for the spend. Good crisp crust. Wished it had a bit more sauce though. For a quick, affordable meal, it'll slap. I'll probably test out a full pie in the future. read more

This pizza is really mid. It tastes like something out of a frozen pizza box. I would only eat it again out of desperation. Service wasn't particularly friendly. Place looks like a cool old school pizza joint. Pizza just isn't worth eating though. I wouldn't go back. read more

Got their "Meat Lovers Slice" yesterday, loaded with sausage, pepperoni, bacon, and genoa salami. It was an explosion of flavor. For under 6 bucks you will get your fill. read more

Seems the new owners not only raised the prices a bit but the slices seem a bit smaller too. The employees don't seem as happy as before. The vibe there has changed but the customers and characters keep coming. Time will tell...... read more

Ordered this last night from Grubhub. Got the cauliflower crust with extra cheese. It was phenomenal! Will order again.

The pizza was delicious! Fast and exactly what we had a taste for authentic Chicago thin crust pizza!

Almost $6 for a slice that you'd get at an elementary school cafeteria 35 years and wouldn't have been excited about back then either. When they reheat it took about 5 minutes just to cool off and eat. Hard pass on price (should be $3 tops), taste, and the toppings felt like they weren't fresh. No effort at all. read more

We had a run of Friday night movie & pizza, Gigio's was it! Pizza is good, I love their classic buffalo chicken wings, super saucy and always hot even when delivered! read more

4 stars for being a solid slice shop. I've been here a few times for slices. It never disappoints. They're consistently consistent. Prices are not too bad. There's plenty of room to find seating when they're busy. They on a corner so you can get a window as well. Just a really solid slice shop. read more

Gigio's Pizzeria - Pepp and cheese slices - Pizza Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

Beware... This place has a sanitation issue. I ordered a torta sandwich with everything and chorizo. I noticed that he took ground beef out instead. His counterpart said "not ground, she wants chorizo." So, the cook proceeds to take the cooked ground beef and put it back in the fridge without even taking off the cooked part. I feel sorry for whomever gets that piece. This is how salmonella starts. Also, he did not wear gloves while handling raw products nor wash his hands. They might have great food, but I am not trying to get food poisoning. So, i will have to pass until they understand the basics of sanitation. read more

My husband and children love their pizza. I personally am not the biggest fan of pizza in general, but I'll admit their crust is amazing! Their homemade sausage is delicious. The pizza by the slice is our go-to, but I've also had the chili cheese fries and empanadas. There is plenty of seating inside, and they are always playing great music. We don't live in Evanston, but we get pizza here at least once a month! read more

Besides that Mexican offerings on the menu wall...don't miss the weekend specials posted at the register. After many visits seeing it belatedly when we got to ordering, we finally gave their quesabirria a try. $12.50 gets you three tacos plus a generous (large?) bowl of birria soup (not just consomme - but with beef + veggies). Great meal here. Comfy with the booths in back and the music seems to be better than what you expect at a counter pizza joint. read more

Got there at 6:45 when they are open until 7. The kitchen was closed except for warmed up pizza that had been cooked long ago. Not worth going to. read more

We've patronized this business for years because our family loves the pizza. I am disappointed that tonight, the delivery driver simply left our order on the front porch. He did not knock. He did not ring the doorbell. It is -6 degrees outside. Do better. read more

Had the meat lovers. Delivery was great. Pizza was hot and fresh. The pizza itself was disastrous, however. I grew up eating Gigio's and was excited to try it after being away for 10 years. Sadly, it was not good. The cheese was plastic, the meat and sauce acrid, and the dough flavorless. I wish I could recommend Gigio's, but the pizza is bad. read more

Food: the food was fairly priced and would come back again but would come in not expecting anything super high quality Service: service was decently quick Ambiance: regular old diner feel read more

Gigio's Pizzeria - Italian Beef Sandwich with mozzarella - Pizza Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

I usually have nothing bad to say about Gigios but today i am absolutely disgusted with how they messed up and did not honor the fact that they messed up. Today i called and order a grandma special pizza ( something i've ordered numerous times) and when the lady on the phone told me the price i kept asking her like are you sure that's the price. she kept telling me yes, i knew it didn't sound right so i had someone else got on the phone to make sure i said the right thing. she kept telling us yes. ok! i get there and my order was incorrect! telling me that's not what she wrote on the paper all and all basically refusing to make some type of accommodation even tho they were the ones who clearly made the mistake. read more

Called in an order for pickup, was told it would take 25-30 mins. Got here in 40 mins and they were just putting the pizzas in the oven. It was not a busy night. No apologies. Very unconcerned for my time. read more

I never thought I'd be rating Gigios pizza so low. My family usually orders for delivery over 25 years now. The person who took my order first, didn't know what a supreme pizza is. How do you work at a pizzeria and not know what toppings are on a supreme pizza?! Second, she called to confirm my address because the driver (God bless his patience) noticed that she had written the street name as "ground ave." He knew "ground" was not a street name. I made her repeat my order and address and she still managed to give him the wrong address number. My pizza was also not cut in squares like she herself even repeated in my order! Hiring manager please do better. read more

Outstanding sausage slice. One of the best I've ever tried. I'll be back. Across from Bennison Bakery read more

Still an Etown staple! Not the best pizza you'll ever have, but still good, and super convenient if you only need a slice. They have a huge menu board too, if you want something other than pizza. read more

Locally owned and terrific pizza, as well as great sandwiches. Generations have enjoyed this pizza, my son takes his boys.

An Evanston staple and one of my favorite places for a quick and delicious slice. I pull over and grab a slice anytime I pass by this place. Reminds me of a New York pizzeria.. quick delicious and inexpensive. I've seen lots of delicious food here but I just come for the pizza. read more

the food was COLD and costumer service was terrible. i never recommend this place to anyone.

Great food for delivery and price. Always gets delivers in a reasonable time. Food it's very satisfactory

Upscale? Not at all. Worth ordering? Absolutely. Solid thin crust cheese (or pineapple) pizza from Gigio's never does me wrong. Great both fresh and reheated. An XL pizza gave me leftovers for a week! Mozzarella sticks are questionable, as they toggle between breaded (yay) and battered (nay), but as long as I ask what they have before ordering, I know I won't be wasting my money. Gigio's is a classic. read more

My husband wanted us to dine here after our Little Yelpers event in Evanston as he was feeling nostalgic. Gigios was one of the first venues for his birthday parties when he was a little kid. They are celebrating their 50th year this year! The restaurant that is, not my husband. I'm sure he would like me to clear that up if he ever read this review. 4 years ago Gigios was under new management but kept the same name. I think thats pretty cool since this establishment has been a part of the Evanston community for several years. I just had a slice of their pepperoni pizza, but they have other things on their menu as well. Their pizza was basic, but good. The crust was crisp and doughy and the sauce wasn't overwhelming nor too oily. Overall, not bad. They have a big enough restaurant where you can dine comfortably. The price is pretty good too if you are looking for some good fast food in the downtown Evanston area. A good restaurant for reliable fast food. I'm sure I'll be back whenever I'm in the area. read more

Yeah Man, this is what's up in this fly walkable neighborHOOD of mine from the far far far past and present. This place is beyond a tradition I have and still do enjoy. I mean, like straight-UP "WILDKIT" I would set up my DJ gear: turntables, budget mixer, after I got paid for a few gigs that meant and translates to the simple equation (2) TWO Technique 1200 Turntables. Then I would walk over to Gigio's Pizzeria for a quite great slice of Pizza or (2) two, soda can and then go back and as a (7th) seventh grader at Chicago's middle school; 'Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Experimental Laboratory School' and I would DJ for and at the entire High Schools YMCA "FRIDAY NIGHT LIVE' cities dance. "You Must have a Valid High School ID to Enter." read more

Rubbery pizza at $4.95 / slice. Not worth it at all. Business strategy is to rip off local high school and college students. Used to be good a long time ago. At least pizza was served warm. read more

I've been coming to Gigio's since the early 80's for slices. I recently moved back to Evanston and have been delighted to share this tradition with my young sons. Gigio's is now a permanent part of our weekend routine. The Boys are crazy about the Pepperoni pizza and Tater Tots; I'm still partial to Sausage pizza. I'll always be a loyal customer here. Great customer service and vibe. read more

A great low key spot here in Evanston. The pizza is your classic Chicago thin crust sold in large portions. A single slice was plenty of food and was quite large. The sausage is advertised as made in-house and certainly tasted so! In typical Midwest fashion, I noticed that both gyro and tamale were listed on the menu. I decided to also try a pork tamale and enjoyed it. It was large and the masa was crumbly and thick. Would recommend going as it's also extremely affordable! read more

Wow, can't believe how good this place is! Completely under-rated. They seve a great slice of pizza, a large slice, and surprisingly their grilled fish sandwich was outstanding, fresh, large, juicy piece of fish grilled with great seasoning. I'm new to the neighborhood and I plan on definitely being a regular here. read more

Apparently they have different prices for call pick up orders, online orders and and to eat there. They over charged me by 10$ on a small pizza and a medium pizza when I asked them why it was more they told me because I did a phone call order. Make sure to check prices they are thief's that employee probably kept the difference. They lost my business there read more

Went into to grab 2 slices of Pizza there were 4 people eating . There were 3 people working around the corner an older Hispanic man and a younger teenage young man and a shorter Hispanic delivery guy. A ghost town I ask " Is anyone working" the teenager said 1 minute everyone else acts like we are on the set of Star Wars. Thank God I had the opportunity to try and enjoy Gigio's a long time ago when the galaxy was pretty normal and customers were important . Never again will I patronize this business or any business like this as I said goodbye so did they read more

Maryland checking in from Chicago I finally have the Italian beef sandwich giardihain pepper (forgive the spelling) it was damn good. I also tried the hotdog from Chicago. It is good. Now that complete my trip heading home back to Maryland. read more

Love the pizza but am constantly surprised by the other things on the menu. The Quesobierra tacos are ridiculously good.

I usually order their sausage pizza because it's so good. Yesterday a woman ahead of me in line ordered a taco from this place. I didn't even know they had tacos! Good Lawd I ordered a beef taco and I had to count my fingers after eating it. It was THAT good! I'll be back today and order more. Then. Then. They have oxtails and mashed potatoes. I haven't ordered that yet, but I've never been disappointed with their food and I've been eating here for years. read more
