This was a great experience. The food was served hot and the staff was very friendly. We ordered a meat lover deep dish and a veggie thin pizza. Both were yummy. There was a wait however the staff was very efficient. Parking. This is important because of your visiting you might not know that they have an overflow parking lot behind the restaurant. read more

Pizza was tasty, but not cut all the way. Ever try and eat a dish pizza that isn't cut all the way through? It's like eating a sandwich that isn't cut all the way through. Unless you're taking this pizza home where you have knives appropriate for cutting pizza, get ready for a big irritating mess. read more

Food and service was good. Ordered the Sampler appetizer plate which was good. Also had the Meat and More Meat deep dish and the Special deep dish. Both pizzas needed to stay in the oven at least another 5-6 minutes because there were some doughy mushy spots on the pizza, especially toward the center. Otherwise it was good. read more

I will say it was an experience. as we entered the place we were seated right away. It got extremely busy within the first 21 minutes after we arrived. we started off with the calamari. It was not very flavorful nor was it it was actually very close to being overcooked the sauce was very Bland. A foofies disappointment We did order a small meat on meat. That's dough was still undercooked, but the toppings were plenty... that, I did like. I would say did it have as much flavor had to put red chili flakes to give it that next level f Crust actually tasted like overcooked toast to me it didn't really have that deep dish flavor buttery edge. it was very dry like toast.I did come here for the experience and to try it out as everybody hyped this place up.but it just was not for me but if you're looking for a more blander drier kind of pizza then this is the place for you! read more

This place doesn't really need reviews because everyone knows Giordanos. While I'd rather have it sitting outside downtown Chicago, this is a convenient location to Midway and walking distance from multiple hotels nearby. The staff was friendly and they never fail to tell you how long deep dish takes. Some people came in after us and preordered their pizza so it was ready shortly after they sat down, which is smart! The pizza is always cooked perfectly and it's always more than you can eat. The family size salad was a perfect option to share while we waited for our pizza. read more

My hometown favorite. I live in Texas but when I come home I have to always get my favorite pizza. It was very busy and crowded. I placed a curbside order. This was a nightmare. No place was marked for a curbside picked up. Called and was told to park in front of the revolving door. A little bit of a wait but food was delivered. Pizza very pretty good. But it was very cold. Could have had a little more meat on it. Grandson loved the Parmesan fries. Cheesy garlic bread was excellent. We also had a combination of buffalo and bbq wings. They were very good also. Overall we enjoyed our meal. read more

After getting off my flight at Midway, I told my husband that I was hungry for dinner. We made it about two blocks outside the airport, to Giordano's. And I'm happy that we stopped. This Giordano's is like the many, many others you'll find around the area. We were able to easily get a table and started with bruschetta. (If you're hungry and ordering a deep dish pizza, an app might be in order since it will take roughly 30 minutes for the pizza to come out.) And for our pizza, we got the small deep-dish Chicken Sausage Deluxe, with mushrooms and spinach. The small was the perfect size for two people. We each got two slices and took two slices for later. And I liked the mix of sausage, mushrooms and spinach. The cheese was gooey, and this was full of tomato-y goodness. A deep-dish is a must for a Chicago visit. Our service was fast and attentive. This was a great option for an easy dinner post-airport. read more

It's pretty good idea so that you're not in the airport hungry and I've had several people ask where we got our pizza from and once we tell them, they always say that they're going to do it as well.

Saturday early evening we got a parking spot with no problem. We walked in and stood, ungreeted at the hostess station while she surfed her phone for something more important. After a few minutes, she looked up and asked us if we were dining in. For two. She picked up two menus and asked us to follow her. She strolled past a booth, layed our menus on the table and continued walking through the restaurant. We should have left then. We didn't. After 10 minutes going through the menu in a near empty restaurant, we had two appetizers, two drinks, and a large deep dish pizza all chosen and ready for our server. Who didn't come. I finally went to the front counter and asked if we had a server assigned to us. He asked, where are you seated? I pointed to our table 6 feet away in full sight of the entire staff. My wife and I live locally and bring guests from out of town to the restaurant frequently but will now bring them to the new Moretti's restaurant where we are now. The Chicago experience is alive, but no longer at Giordanos. read more

We went to Giordano's after leaving Midway Airport. It is about 1 mile away. The wait was very long for the food. They said they make the pizza fresh and there would be a 45 minute wait. We were patient since we have heard that this is the place to eat when in Chicago. The family ordered a stuffed pizza and I had a salad. But let me tell you my salad was delicious. The dressing was so good. This was our first experience with an authentic stuffed Chicago pizza. They enjoyed it and thought it was very good. There was a couple near us speaking with the waiter and then the manager about being charged for a substitution and they did not know prior to placing the order. So beware if you alter the preset pizza they will charge you per item thus increasing the price tremendously. read more

We went here for lunch on a Sunday. I was reading the reviews about the slow service and I'm sad to say it's true. They promised 20-25 min wait for dine-in, but we waited 34 min. Their service was friendly, and the food tasted great. Our server apologized for the wait and even brought us refills of our drinks before we needed to ask. We ordered the Chicago Classic ahead of time and it was great. We also ordered the calamari and Caesar salad which were both delicious. But when it came to get our checks and getting our leftovers boxed up, we waited for 12 minutes until our server came back to our table.

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!

My wife, son, and I just came back from dining at Giordano's. We typically order in our pizza from other local pizza establishments, but today we decided to enjoy a good sit down dinner. It's not our first visit to this location and do realize it can be busy at times (like when i took my family and parents out to this location on Valentine's Day). As expected, the wait time for our Stuff Pizza was almost two hours. Not a big deal, but today was different. It appeared the restaurant wasn't as busy today as it typically would be for a Friday (from what I was told from an employee). DO NOT DINE AT THIS Giordano's! I recommend you dine at other great pizza restaurants such as Connie's, Home Run Inn, or even McDonald's (i'm kidding). Giordano's pizza is always great, our waiter was good, but the wait time for your food is unacceptable. Evidently this manager thinks the take out orders are far more important than customers coming in to dine. I guarantee you, if you dine at this location (and maybe the others) you will wait no less than one hour. We "pre" ordered our pizza while we waited for our table and we still waited a full hour. What's worse, we waited almost the same time for my son's thin pizza which should have only taken 15-20 minutes. Unfortunately the manager's only resolution to this problem is a reduction in your bill ("promotional discount"). While I appreciate the discount, I should not have to complain about the wait. I just want to enjoy my meal without having to wait so long. And yes, I did order appetizers and still had to wait for a full hour. With all of the money this company is generating, particularly at this location, I would think it would consider buying more ovens or expanding so one section of the restaurant can be dedicated to take out orders. It hasn't happened in years and it probably won't! I've never "rated" or "reviewed" a restaurant before but I will make it my mission to text, FB, Tweet, and utilize other social media outlets to push for a boycott of this restaurant until this manager addresses the "wait" time problem (and not by solely providing a "discount!" Probably been doing that for years as a means of the cost of doing business, instead of investing in more ovens...my son put it best, "raise your hand if you're not coming back!" He is seven years old, and we are not returning to patronize this establishment. #DONOTEAT@Giordano'sPizza #WAITTOOLONG read more

I love Giordanos pizza and I had recnetly went to get some with my boyfriend. The pizza was amazing as usual but the customer service was horrible. When we first walked in the restaurant was almost empty but still it took about 3 employees to walk past us before one said "Oh do you need a seat." Then when the witress approached us she did not smile at all and it kind of made me think she had some kind of issue with me. After getting our food she never asked us if we were alright once and literally just put the bill on the table then said "Enjoy the rest of the day". The only reason she said that was to get a tip probably but I did not give her one and when she saw that she looked back and made a face at me. Overall their pizza is great but their customer service is horrible. If you don't treat customers right they won't come back obviously. read more

Two star for the awesome pizza. 0 for customer service. I couldn't believe my favorite pizza chain made mad. I ordered pizza as usual over the phone. Whom I get to talk? A lady who is already sick of her job. She treated me as I was her employee over the phone. I got mad when she started to scream about my order. However, I had to get the pizza because my wife wanted a pizza at 12.00 am & only giordanos. Unfortunately the only place open around at midnight. And I bought the pizza with angry face. Update 01/20/2016 I was happy that corporate giordanos followed up with the issue I had. I take my words back and happy to say I love giordanos. Adding two more ** for pizza read more

Are Jackie and Debbie (both in management) still employed here? If so I would just like to let customers know that they have displayed immature and racist behavior toward their employees. I have witnessed her talking down to young female employees and have heard unpleasant stories about her through the grape vine. Debbie, also extremely rude to the young employees, giving them extreme attitude, being condescending, and you know what? To summarize both of their behavior, they're both Karens. Karen Karen karen. Please do something about them. Put them in check. Make them take a HR class. If you know them, you'd agree that something ain't right about them. read more

I stopped in here recently for dinner but turned around and left after seeing that this location has chosen to ban lawful concealed carry. That policy is both disappointing and short-sighted. Law-abiding citizens who go through the extensive process of obtaining their carry credentials are some of the most responsible members of the public, and excluding them serves no positive purpose. Posting a "gun-free zone" sign in an area of the city where crime is a real concern only alienates customers like me. I won't be back. For Chicago-style pizza, I'd recommend Lou Malnati's just down the street instead. read more

Been ordering from this location for 2+ years. Nasty girl on the phone 1/23/12 appox 5:10pm just took great satisfaction in telling me that they don't deliver to Lyons and they never have. I told her that we had been ordering from them for years and she insisted that they don't deliver to us and never had, as if I had just made it up. They should check their records. If delivery zones had changed or something, that would be one thing, but this rude girl just continued to enjoy calling me a liar. I guess they don't care about losing out on our business. read more

Giordano's deep dish pizza is a quintessential Chicago experience that lives up to its world-famous reputation. From its buttery, flaky crust to its generous layers of gooey cheese and savory toppings, every bite is a taste of pizza perfection. The classic Chicago-style deep dish is a must-try for anyone visiting the Windy City, and Giordano's delivers on flavor, quality, and authenticity. Whether you're a pizza aficionado or just looking to indulge in a truly satisfying meal, Giordano's will leave you craving more. read more

I used to love looking forward to visiting this restaurant when I flew in. Not anymore. Since they decided to enforce the anti-constitutional socialistic "guidelines" as law, they're now named Mussolini's to me. We fly in, can't even get seated with an empty restaurant. They're on their way to bankruptcy. Say what you want; but this is a clear violation of our 1st Amendment rights of privacy to demand to see our vax cards in order to be waited on. They're CANCELED. read more

To this day I believe Giordanos serves the best Deep dish pizza. Yesterday we had it with mushrooms and jalapenos and the only reason I did not post a 5 star rating is because the dough seemed to not be totally cooked. Maybe raw even but the flavor of that sauce, the quality of that cheese, and the super spicy jalapenos made up for it. Do yourself a favor and try one, just ask them to make sure the dough is fully cooked. read more

WARNING: do not order online unless you want your order to come 30 minutes later than expected. Needed food to be delivered at 7:50 PM so I ordered 3 hours in advance, and thought pre ordering and setting order delivery time at 7:50 would be fine. I know timing is never perfect so you would think a 15 minute grace period would be okay but I guess not. Restaurant was not helpful at all. read more
