    This is small pizza perfect for a couple
    George S.

    verything happens for a reason. Giordano's Pizza in Chicago carries a unique history of more than 50 years, and you can feel it the moment you walk in. Its classic atmosphere and vintage charm make the experience unforgettable. María Álvarez , our server, was far more than that; she was an exceptional host of hospitality and great service. The starters; the fried calamari and the house salad; were a sublime touch to the palate, setting the perfect tone for the meal. And the star of the night: Giordano's Chicago-style pizza. Simply beyond words. I would return again and again; for the pizza, and especially for María's outstanding service. A complete, authentic, and highly recommended experience.

    Super surprised this place wasn't very busy on a Sunday before Christmas with the airport right down the road. Our server was super quick and our food and drinks were hot. It's been awhile and I didn't remember Giordano's selling alcohol but damn that holiday fruit punch went down smooth. Also I've tried several of the deep dish pizzas but never the veggie. Honestly it might be my new go to. It was freaking delicious. My friend and I say and chatted while the pizza cooked so it was perfect for catching up.

    First time in Chicago and we wanted to try deep dish pizza. Not really fans of this type of pizza but the environment was cool and service was quick before our flight. The location was nice for a bite to eat before the airport.

    The server was great. He was upfront and brutally honest on how long it may take to get fresh pizza. It was worth the wait to try a Chicago style pizza. It definitely is nowhere near a New York style pizza. The crust was very different and baked so it could house all the toppings on the bottom cheese and then tomato sauce on top. The place was busy and cozy yet I felt comfortable because it was definitely a family style dining experience.

    Had a wonderful time at Giordano's while in town with friends visiting from Pittsburgh and Omaha. We got the original or chicago style one and it was good! Great flavor, cooked perfectly, and just what we were looking for as tourists in Chicago. It did take a very long time to come out, but we knew that going into it before we even got to the restaurant. The server and other staff were all very patient with our rambunctious children (ages 3, 2, and 1) and made sure our drinks stayed full, cleared the table in a timely manner, and made sure our needs were met. Overall a great experience and glad we were able to give it a try!

    Okay fine I'm a tourist eating at the edge of an airfield. But we people have to eat too. Get enough for a small planeful at Gio's. I was committed from building entry: all in on the carbs, you only eat stuffed once, 45 mins isn't so long to wait, tomorrow's run can just be longer, all the mind tricks. It helped me through the waiting period. First I'll start with the Italian Salad. True to form it includes meat. Good because I need meat while I wait for my meat. Somewhat limited draft selection, but see the earlier "airfield edge" comment and what did I expect? It could've been worse and their taps were all broken. But now I'm settled in for a long fall's wait, watching everybody else wolf down their giant portions and take home stacks of boxes. In Italy you'd never share a pie. You get yours and it's probably a good single portion. All you fake light-eater types would take half home like you weren't going to devour as soon as you walk in the door. But whoever invented the "Chicago Stuffed Deep Dish" had the opposite idea in mind: this is going to be so big it'll last a couple days. Finally the hour has arrived: I'm nervous, yet serene. My neighbor needles me on the way out the door in his Chicago accent: "you gonna finish dat?" I say "sure in a coupla days". In my not-Chicago accent. Next 45 mins: allegedly consuming half. Next 45, rest. Next 45 nightie-night. However not before I packed up that monstrosity for the next 48 hours. It seems those on a diet order the thin crust, however I also noticed they defeat the purpose by getting the large. So really it just means greater circumference instead of depth. The cheese inside is a little much. Not really people, just some pizza humor. Back in 1974 when they started this joint, I'm sure quick heart attacks were on nobody's mind. They still aren't here. I mean come on, has anybody actually had one while eating? That seems rare. And at least they could get the paramedics to pack up the to-go box for post-op. Beats jello. If I don't return it's just due to changing flight patterns. Otherwise I'll be back in that 45-minute holding pattern.

    I placed online for large fry for $5.45 along w stuffed pizza. Requested plates cheese and crushed red pepper. Received none of that. The fries were cold and didn't even fill half the container. I took a picture because it definitely can not be the amount customers receive for almost $6. It's like they took some leftovers and threw them into a container. We will stick to Ciprianis in the neighborhood which is half the price, you get what you paid for and it's always hot!

    Whenever I go to Chicago, I must have a slice of deep dish pizza from Giordano's. The first time I ever had it was about 12 years ago, and I was instantly hooked. Apparently, the locals don't even eat deep dish; It's more for the tourists. I'm a tourist and was in total tourist mode so I was happy that my first stop straight from the airport was Giordano's! We were able to preorder our pizza at the counter before being seated at a table. It takes 30 minutes to bake so it's helpful to preorder if you know what you want. We decided to do a medium build your own deep dish. Even though they were short staffed, the employees were so nice and patient as we ordered our pizza. We ordered some ingredients all over the pizza, and other ingredients (like mushrooms - gross) on half of the pizza. It was a little confusing, but the cashier was able to get it sorted out. We were seated at a table not long after preordering the pizza. Since they were short staffed, we had to wait for drinks, however our server, Armando greeted us when we sat down which I appreciated. He was running around like crazy serving tables, making drinks (they didn't have a bartender!), and basically holding it down. Drinks: We had wine and beer so it is what it is. I had a Stella and it was great with the pizza! Food: Giordano's House Salad - I loved the lemon vinaigrette dressing. This was definitely large enough to share. Calamari - I don't like calamari so I didn't have any, but my cousin and her husband enjoyed it. Deep Dish - It was just as good as I remembered it! The cheese is so gooey and delicious! The sauce was tasty, the meat was seasoned well. I don't even remember what all ingredients I had on my half (ground beef, pepperoni, bell peppers, onions, and something else that I'm forgetting). I ate one piece and was full and satisfied the rest of the evening. A medium was plenty for three people. We had leftovers that my aunt ate the next day. Armando did a great job. He took a long time to bring us water (we were almost done eating) but he apologized. He was working his butt off. He was so friendly and cool as a cucumber even though it was clear they were hustling to get to everyone. I know everyone has their favorite spot for pie in Chicago, but I am forever hooked to Giordano's. I can't wait to have it again the next time I visit!

    The thin pizza is crazy good, delivery is slow. The service is slow inside as well. Too slow. But the pizza is awesome.

    Traveling for business. As a small biz owner, always looking for locally owned!…read moreDid a deep dive into "finding local gems" and found this place. Reviews across social media are all over the place. Hubby chose the gyro platter with fries. *so much food*. He normally eats all his food, but he just couldn't. He just stopped and said "so much food" . Portion won! I chose the italian beef (not juicy/dipped) & had it on side instead. Cheese fries are ok, but not wow. The italian beef however, that is a different story. The flavor was throughout the beef & I liked how it did not have to rely on the juice to get the flavor. Speaking of the juice that had a perfect amount of spice. I have to say this is one of my top Italian beefs that I've ever had.

    Ordered 2 Gyros platters - one with fries, one with baked potato, also 2 Big Baby hamburgers…read more Requested RAW onions, repeated the request several times. Got them with grilled onions :-( Disappointed because this really does change the taste of the burgers. The gyros were good and portion was plentiful. Meat was tender and fresh, no burnt or "old" tasting bites. Sauce was a little bland, but very fresh and tasted homemade. Fries were not greasy.

    It's airport food y'all…read more Service: 1/5 It seemed like the only person making food was purposefully taking her sweet sweet time. She talked to her coworker the entire time and didn't mind the customers. Only 3 people were in front of me and it took 30 mins. Food : 3/5 The food wasn't gross, and that says a lot for this airport choices. However, it's still airport food. Quality and value was not there. I had the Chicken and Cheese quesadilla and it cost $14.52. You don't get to dress the quesadilla like the other entrees. The quesadilla had portions that had no chicken at all present. The tortilla was not cooked with any char on it... just super duper light. I still preferred this to other choices in the airport. However, if you are in a rush please do not stop by.

    Airport food is airport food - it's always slightly overpriced and a little underwhelming. If I…read morehave time, I always opt to order something at one of the airport establishments vs. a pre-made sandwich from the convenience store because it's a tiny bit better. Decolores is likeeeeeeee a Chipotle. But in an airport. You choose the form of Mexican entree you would like to construct with the worker. For me, I chose to have a burrito form of all the fixings - chicken, beans, rice, lettuce etc etc. To be honest, everything was incredibly bland. I had to douse it in hot sauce and even then, I didn't feel satisfied. BUT, burritos are portable, non-smelly, and tastes great even when cold. If you're just looking for a quick bite (for later) on the plane, getting a burrito at Decolores isn't a terrible idea.
