This location makes the best stuffed cheese with spinach pizza- recent visit, we had a party of over 20 people both children and adults for a birthday here last week. Service was good. Everyone enjoyed the food we had ordered the house salad, buffalo wings, and an assortment of pizzas, thin crust to the stuffed pizza. Manager Steve, was attentive to our group of guests ensuring our food and service quality were met. One of my favorite giordano locations. Parking here beats the Cicero location as well. read more

I just wanted to take a moment to recognize Steve, the manager here, because great service like this deserves to be acknowledged. From the moment we walked in, everything was smooth, welcoming, and well-run. You can tell Steve really cares about both the customers and his team The pizza was absolutely amazing fresh, flavorful, and made perfectly. But what really stood out was the level of attention and professionalism. It's not easy to find places where both the food and the service are consistently this good. Steve is clearly doing an excellent job running this place. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

I went here with my friends for dinner when I went to to Chicago for my birthday. We had the Mozzarella Triangles, Cesar Salad, Deep Dish Pizza, and Tequila Sunrise. The service was great and the ambiance was a nice laid back family atmosphere. I liked the food, but for some reason I didn't like the sauce on the pizza. I think it's just a personal preference of mine since I'm from New York. Other than that everything else was great! read more

The pizza takes 2 hours for delivery . Called the establishment and they offered a credit. Nope might as well just not offer this as an option if you can't do it. read more

I used to come here as a kid, food takes a while or 20 mins depending on what you order and how much, but the wait is worth it. Restaurant is nice and classy, checkered tables if I last remember, great for the family or just whenever you wanna get a midnight bite, staff is always nice. read more

We decided to try this location. We ordered one appetizer (calamari and more), one deep dish (meat and more meat), and one Chicago tavern style (chicken pesto). The deep dish has pepperoni, sausage, salami, and bacon. The Chicago tavern style has chicken, pesto, and tomatoes. The calamari and more appetizer was decent but I'm not sure it was worth $14. For the price, they could have given us more. The deep dish was pretty good if you like these kinds of pizzas. The crust was flaky and required little chew. The main part is very cheesy and they do not skimp on the meat. The Chicago tavern style was very crispy and that pesto sauce gives it a herby and garlicky taste. Pesto pairs well with the chicken and tomatoes. The service was average. I would have liked our server to be more attentive like fill our glasses of water without us saying anything. Overall, it's a 4 out of 5 for me. read more

A staple in Northern Illinois! This was second time and Giordano's and my second time getting the Toasted Italiano (hold the veggies). Both times it was very oily. I've had to dab the oil off before eating it both times. I even put the vinaigrette on the side to dip the sandwich in lightly to limit the oiliness of it than if it would've came on the sandwich. Besides the oiliness, the sandwich is delicious! The house salad didn't come with dressing? Wasn't sure if that's normal or just a fluke on my order. My boyfriend got the Chicken Caprese Melt and hated it and he's not picky like me. He said the flavor was not good, too heavy on the vegetables and pesto. It was also way too oily. The broccoli cheddar soup was good. Our waiter was kind and brought us everything we asked for and more. Though the restaurant is always busy, I feel like you can usually find a table outside the city (the city's Giordano's was an unreasonable wait!). read more

Here we go again.... it's been a few years since I came to this location, and already I have a headache. For ambiance, it's nice, you know the beauty of Giordannos, and the look is always vintage with its print photos of an era gone. But let's get to the knitty gritty. When you first enter an establishment, it's nice to be greeted in a nice fashion. The young lady at the front just didn't seem to be interested in us even being there. I asked for a table of 2, and she didn't even acknowledge me. She did grab 2 menus, and I guess we had to follow as she didn't speak. She basically threw the menus and walked away, not once giving us eye contact. It felt really uncomfortable, to say the least, and I wanted to leave, but my elderly mom was hungry. So we stood. So the young lady who took care of us seemed busy to the point of passing us up a few times before acknowledging she was our server. Is it this generation that is just not trained to show pleasantries? I'm disappointed as usually we have smiles. But I digress, I still like Giordano's but not sure if my hard earned cash, deserves this kind of behavior. Staff needs to be trained just a little bit better. read more

Custom service is terrible management is dismissive.Server brought us out cold food took it back to reheat it and took 20 extra minutes.The server also brought the table ahead of me a pizza with pepperoni he told the server he doesn't eat pork..Horrible service.. read more

If you've never been, then you should go because of the name, and its longevity in Chicago. It isn't as great as it used to be, but still good if you want some deep dish! I was there for me birthday weekend, and had to go since it's been years. So, beer, and pizza, and football. It was a good evening. A family was celebrating a birthday party as well, and offered me a slice! Awesome!! Service was good, and the place was clean, and decorated pretty cool. read more

But anyways they seat us and about 15 mins comes back with plates says she'll be right back doesn't we never get water barley greeted us so we walked out terrible customer service read more

Quality has gone down. I've been eating here for decades as a family tradition but these days the pizza tastes super salty. I picked up a pizza tonight and everyone commented it was gross and salty. I called to ask if they changed the formula but the guy on the phone told me no but that they get the sauce shipped in. I asked if anyone else has commented about this but he didn't care and said "thanks for your opinion good night." I think my family Giordono's tradition is over. read more

Great service, amazing food, and the ambiance was good I very much enjoyed meal there I will definitely be returning soon

Manager Gabby Is super cool the environment was hyper realistic, the staff was super supportive the restaurant itself was dope and the ambiance and energy was sooo welcoming. I would recommend 10 out of 10 no complaints here showed love to me all the way from Cali read more

I just ordered a spaghetti and meatballs and it had to be the worst thing I ever ordered I took it back and dared the manager to try and cut the meat ball with a fork you couldn't do it if u had a knife !!!! It has got to be the worst meal ever I've been an Executive Chef for 38yrs look me up google me ! Does nobody have any standards anymore what the fuck how are you going to serve food like that where's the kitchen manager at come on ! Last time last chance ! read more

Sadly, this is how our pizza got delivered! I called giordanos to complain about how our pizza got delivered and they offered to replace it but would have to wait another 45-50 minutes so i agreed but then decided to give a call back and tell them i can just use a credit for next time... which by the way ... the manager didn't want to speak with me for some reason and only told the employee to tell me they would give me a $8.00 credit... like seriously! I guess i will get 8.00 back after throwing 50.00 to the garbage! read more

Bad service! Small deep dish Pizza was supposed to be ready in 40min. After 57 minutes I'm obviously hungry and upset cause no one came to provide any update to our table. I proceed to go up front counter to ask the status of our small deep dish pizza and waitress said she would go verify and of course after 1 hour and 4 min waiting the manager comes to our table and basically said we were forgotten and our order slip is no where to be found!! Now we have to wait an additional 15 min, if we want the pizza? I'm a PIZZA FANATIC but I will never ever EAT here again! Wait is extraordinary ridiculous. Worst part is I have a 14 hour drive trip and am now 2 hours behind! Thanks for that! On a positive, note they did say the small deep dish pizza was on the house(free) we would have to pay for the other food and drinks we ordered. What a shame! read more

First time in Chicago and had to get here to try the deep dish pizza! I'm a pizza fanatic and this deep dish pizza was nothing short of amazing! We also had a thin crust pizza and that was good as well! The calamari my sister ordered wasn't all that but I didn't expect it to be amazing at a pizza place. We ordered cheese bread and that was really good! I enjoyed it overall and it has a nice old time vibe with the decor and style in the restaurant. read more

Sorry, but just not a fan of Giordano's. Calamari and More - Skip it. Bland and too many fillers of those other things not calamari. We used all the marinara sauce and still had leftovers. Sausage, Mushroom & Onion Deep Dish Pizza - Eh! Even my guy wasn't happy about it. The crust was hard, like it was over/under kneaded or something. We decided to just take the leftover calamari to go and asked for some more marinara and she said she would have to charge us a $1 for it. The heck! Two stars because our waitress was okay. read more

We had a graduation party for my daughter today! It was great! They had the tables set up and we basically just put out a couple of table decorations. It was buffet style. The pizzas came out along with the salad at various times so we wouldn't run out and the pizza would stay warm. Several times the server asked if we needed anything and he was very prompt when bringing extra cups or plates. All of the workers were very nice and professional. I would definitely book a party there on the future! read more

Great service and pizza! We had the Calamari appetizer while waiting the requisite 35 minutes for our pie. Quite good! Plan to take a nap after lunch. The 'small' deep dish Meat/meat Pizza is the right size for two people. Full bar if you want a libation with your meal. I'll look to enjoy Giordano's again. read more

ordered my pizza at 7:12pm and didnt receive it until 9:07... really!?!?! 2 hours? Then when addressing it with the Manager "Veronica" at the location on 51st and Pulaski (in Chicago), she gave me nothing but excuses and stated that they werent excuses... and then felt the need to blame the online website for the issue... horrible experience, and my pizza was cold read more

not good service on all things service related. Have eaten in house and had delivery. Two separate occasions. Slow service in house UNTIL it came time to pick up the tip and she couldn't shoo us out of the way fast enough. The pizza order was wrong but we were starving sooooo we ate it anyway. Delivery - ordered at 5:45pm for ASAP delivery. Wasn't delivered until almost 2hrs later. I called to see what's up and didn't get anywhere. Don't offer the delivery service if you can't meet expectations. Since both meals were prepared and sat until someone decided to do their job. Unfortunately, the lack of serving/delivering ruined the pizza. Y'all make the Chicago stereotype of rude and entitled even more stereotypical. read more

Customer service and hospitality were horrible from our waitress Nicole. Whenever I needed something (refills, napkins) I had to go to the front counter to ask. Nicole was too busy focusing on the guys behind me. It even got to the point where I called the manager. The manager was very nonchalant. She didn't even apologize. All she did was offer a dessert which I declined. When it was time to check out, I noticed I was charged for four pizzas(my table only had two) Once I mentioned it to Nicole she simply smirked. The manager was standing there and she did absolutely NOTHING!!! Nicole suck and so does the manager!!!! read more

This has been the first and only Chicago deep dish style pizza I've ever tried but it's pretty darn good. The first time having it I was wowed but 2nd time around I'm realizing okay it's pretty basic tasting but the experience of having layers of pizza versus flat sizes is a part of the experience. I ordered the vegetarian pizza with the artichokes, olives, onions, bell peppers, broccoli, etc all that comes on it. It's always good and has a garlicky type of light oil that seeps with every bite. The crust is usually nicely textured like a soft cracker?! I can't explain it but it's like a nice crispy pizza pie crust. The sauce I do admit is kinda too much for my preference and starts to taste like ragu sauce from the store after a couple of bites in. Be prepared to wait almost 15-30 mins because I mean it is fresh and thick. We also tried the garlic fries I believe and they were pretty good too served with a side of runny ranch. It's Def worth a visit and I enjoyed the suburb location a lot more. read more

OH MY PIZZA PIE!!! Huge restaurant chain in Chicago, you seem to see one everywhere, mainly in the south area. Maybe to the locals in Chicago they wouldn't be able to give this place a 5 and maybe just a 4. For being from LA this place is a 5, pizza was soo good. Stuffed with mozzarella cheese, salami and mushrooms, topped with olives! The sauce that it's on top of the pizza pie is sooo good, not salty and has a good tomato flavor. I really expected this pizza to be greasy BUT I was wrong, flaky buttery crusted, not greasy at all but not something I would eat every week. Maybe once a year! haha... It was just all kinds of awesome, when going out to Chicago you must try their stuffed pizza pies!! You can build your own or order what they offer on the menu. Please allow 30 minutes to cook these bad boys, it's worth the wait, get a salad while you wait. =) read more

Ordered from here today because my family raves about the food from this location albeit, I've heard of a rude gal at the front. Sure enough, I go to get my order and the cashier barely acknowledges me. I ask the girl, who handed my food, if there is a survey to fill out to which she replies no. I then ask for the cashier's name and she says oh that's Nicole. I thank the girl for being so nice and indicate how Nicole was just rude...On that note, "Nicole, if you don't like your job, which seems to be so arduous for you, get a fucking new one!" Come on Manager, do a better job! read more

I placed an online order today. Ordered an individual deep dish, bbq wings and cheese wedges. The only thing worth the money I spent was the cheese wedges. Thee chicken was dry, the pizza was tasteless and I was extremely disappointed. The rating was for the wedges only! I won't go back! read more

Unlike most of my reviews here on Yelp I am going to keep this one short and sweet. I have lived here 3 years now and I am just now getting around to writing a review for Giordano's. I need to be flogged in public for this hell worthy trespass. That being said, after you have lived in this area for awhile the establishment starts to become a bit cliche for some reason. Many of the locals act like they are "too cool for school" when it comes to this joint. It's labeled just a spot for tourists while the more sopisticated types scurry off to have their Sunday brunch elsewhere to Yelp about. Chicago is a pretty pretentious place just in general, and when it comes to pizza (and hot dogs) even more so. Well, I have news for you.....These people are pretty much insane. Barring procedural mishaps that you might encounter from a random server or some random kitchen error, you would be hard pressed to find a place that consistently kicks out better old school deep dish pies. This is the hard reality and pretty much all that needs to be said. Drops mic. read more

The service here is terrible! I went in and told the wait time was 20 minutes but to leave my name and number so they could call me. 20 minutes passed by and nothing so I went inside only to be told that they were currently seating people in my place. Like how are you going to take down my number and not call me then proceed to give away my table I been waiting for. After that because they gave away my table told me I had to wait 30 minutes for the next one?! So clearly I left but they had the audacity to call me the 30 minutes later... I will never be coming back here again read more

Giordano's is a go to place in Chicago. I'm gluten free so this review is based on the gluten free pizza. Yes they have gluten free pizza! Unfortunately it's the same crappy crust everyone uses.
