Garlic fries
Steve N.

Giordano's pizza in Rogers Park is a great location. It was not crowded on a Sunday evening, which was a nice change from the hectic loop restaurant on a Friday night. The service was top notch, constantly refilling our drinks. The food was served in a timely manner. The deep dish cheese pizza was excellent, nice cheese pull and perfectly cooked. The Parmesan crusted margherita pizza was very good as well, it had a thinner crust that is similar to Lou Malnati's pizza. The Parmesan cheese on the crust was a nice touch. We also had garlic fries which were good and fried cheese triangles. We also ordered dessert to go, tiramisu, pan cookie and chocolate cake. Overall a great evening of deep dish pizza . I would highly recommend the Roger's Park Giordano's restaurant.

Small deep dish (starts at ~$15-16 before added toppings)

Love their lunch combos here which run Monday-Friday 11-3pm. It is what keeps me coming back. For $9.50, you can get an individual deep dish pizza and a side! Unheard of. My favorites are the individual sausage deep dish pizza with the garlic Parmesan fries. You also can't go wrong with their pepperoni deep dish or their Italian beef sandwich with sweet and spicy peppers. I have done carry out at this Rogers Park location about three times now and every time I was promptly helped and had to wait no longer than 5 minutes.

Deep dish pizza from giordano's!

Great Chicago style pizza! We had a deep dish chicken sausage with spinach and a thin crust with feta, spinach and artichoke. Both were terrific and satisfied our pizza craving nicely!

Customer Service: We had a pretty good customer service. Gaile (i forgot how to write her name) was very nice. She came back to check on us every minute to make sure we were doing well and we were satisfied. Food: The pizza was okay. To me it was not the best pizza i've ever had. I really was expecting better. The pineapple on top of our pizza did not taste okay. Something was wrong with it. The cheese pizza was pretty good. But the chicken wings was really really bomb! Very deliciouuuussss. Price: I thought it was a little pricy even tho we took part of this special going on 14" pizza for 19.95. But I guess it was worth it. If I am back in the city would I come back? The answer is...... probably

Decided to place a pick up order from this location since my first experience was good. I was surprised my 6" personal deep dish was $11.48 on its own. I recall it being much cheaper during lunch hours to enjoy. I didn't realize until picking up that the lunch deal is $8.45 and includes a side. I was disappointed that the lady taking my order was not only less than friendly, but also didn't bother mentioning the lunch deal. My receipt tells me that I placed the call/order just before 3pm so unfortunately customer consideration isn't a value at this particular location. Aside from that, the pizza was lukewarm. I picked up my order 10 minutes earlier than directed on the phone, so I can only imagine how cold it would have been had I waited the entire 35 minutes. I won't be back to this spot again.

I suppose Chicagoans like this thick, dry, crackeresque crust, but I did not. Tired decor and OK service.

It's alright, if you like Chicago style deep dish pizza. It's not New York style, which is far superior.

Delicious pizza and pizza in Little Italy area of Chicago. It is a nice looking restaurant, too…read more We went for lunch on a Sunday (to avoid the crowd and for free street parking). The restaurant is not busy at all. We were seated right away. Our server was nice and attentive. We ordered pizza and pasta. Pepperoni and Whipped Ricotta Pizza - cooked perfectly, fresh ingredients and delicious! Served hot! Short Rib Pappardelle - to die for! This is very tasty, the pasta is cooked al dente. The short rib sauce is ssosooo delicious! We sat by the bar overlooking the open kitchen. It was nice to see the chef make the pizza and make the pasta. Further area is more fine dining with wall of wine. Very classy! Street parking only. So plan ahead.

This is such a cool spot. I wouldn't have even known about it, if it weren't for a local friend…read more Where to start? We came in with a group of about 20! Normally I hate those kinds of large group dinners, but this was the perfect spot for it. The service was absolutely wonderful. I don't know how our server stayed so cool and calm with a group that size. We got a variety of things. EVERYTHING was amazing. If you have seen any of my other reviews, I always get a meatball when I'm at a place that has them. They almost never live up to my expectation. But this place has the new gold standard for a meatball. It was everything you want. It is fork tender, full of flavor, no chewy ground up bits. The pizzas were authentic and thin. With fabulous house made red sauce that wasn't too thick and overwhelming. The flavor was A+ The cocktails were so good! All made from scratch with love. The ambiance was cozy and comfortable. Perfect for a group or a date. They have a full bar, and also great seating with perfect lighting. This is a new favorite for me in the city.

The ambiance is nice with the restaurant not too dark but still has moody lighting. The entire time we sat down there was a huge group of people waiting for a table, so definitely make a reservation! For apps we got garlic bread and Caesar salad. The garlic bread was a rec from our server, which did not disappoint. They brought out melted butter to pour over the bread. Caesar salad was interesting, it has chopped celery inside which I didn't realize until I started eating. I don't like celery but my sis does and she liked it in the salad. Pappardelle alla porcellino and chicken vesuvio were AMAZING. Pasta was fresh and the chicken was so decadent. Both mocktails I were delish. The tiramisu was SO GOOD. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Chicago!

Wow. My go to for Italian in Chicago has been volare everytime I visit but I'm going to need to…read morestart working in il porcellino to my lineup. I came here for a business dinner with about 6 others. The only frustrating part of our experience was we made a reservation online weeks in advance and when we arrived we were told that they basically overbooked every night and when you reserve a seat you're just saying you're coming. So we showed up and were told we were going to wait an hour. It sounds like they are super busy, but there are better ways to ensure the restaurant is selling every available seat rather than offering basically fake reservations that don't mean anything when you get there. Someone in our group complained enough about it that they sat us and did honor the reservation which we appreciated - given that it was a business dinner though, I think it was awkward we had to do that. It just was a LOT of work to organize multiple out of towners getting together and to show up and potentially wait an hour would have been so inconvenient. They really should fix this problem. The reservation issue aside the experience was great. The service is just sort of meh I didn't feel like they were above or beyond and didn't note anything exceptional there. But the food..... the food is the main event for sure. Everything I tried I loved. I had just had Italian the day before so I didn't want anything that felt "too Italian" (lasagna, pasta, pizza, etc) so I got the braised short rib over polenta which was a nice change of pace. It was amazing. Some of the best polenta I've ever had. I am already looking forward to the next time I can go back! The food here is outstanding. If you are able to go, I would highly recommend it.

The burrata is an absolute must order. It's flown in fresh from Italy a few times a week, and you can definitely taste the quality. The Rigatoni Vodka is another favorite of mine.

The octopus surprised me because octopus can be hit or miss for me, but they did it really well! The table bread was also pretty good and cheesy. The Caesar was just fine. Nothing special but not bad (which is good coming from me since I'm not usually big on kale). Of course all of the pastas were yummy. The fusilloni was definitely my favorite from the noodle shape to the sausage and cheese. The ricotta dumplings were suuuuuper cheesy which I really liked (though I could see why others wouldn't) and had a melt in your mouth softness. The rigatoni was tasty, but kinda just tasted like a normal red sauce so would probably try something more interesting next time. We really enjoyed the chicken parm, too. Not as good as the pastas, but definitely tasty and the basil was a good touch. We finished with the guava cheesecake sundae. I really liked the little bits of cake, but the ice cream itself was a little lacking for me. Still a nice sweet treat to finish the meal!! We had the perfect amount of food overall for 4 people!

Had to use the menu to fan ourselves, other patrons were doing it as well. The fritto misto was ok, the breading tasted like it was old or had been sitting out. Not as crispy as we'd hope. To be honest felt like frozen calamari quality. The Alla Vita chopped was pretty standard, kinda reminded me of Olive Garden salad lol. The stars of the meal were the tagliatelle and cappelletti pasta. Both were super flavorful and pasta cooked well. The bone-in ribeye was a little on the sweeter side, definitely lacked a crust and salt. I'd pass on the steak IMO. Our biggest qualm was the timing of the dishes coming out. The pasta came out 30-35 minutes after the appetizer and salad which is fine, but the steak coming out 15 minutes after the pasta kinda ruined it. We'd love to eat the entrees (steak and pasta) together, and not finish our pasta first or let it go cold then eat steak alone.. ya know? We had ordered crispy potatoes but cancelled due to the wait. Ended the night with mango passion fruit sorbet with a prosecco float. Big mistake on the prosecco float haha it was so tarte and bitter, would def recommend trying the sorbet alone! Overall, glad we finally got to try this place. Focus more on the pastas and skip the steak. Very beautiful inside.
