Deep dish pizza! It's not my favorite... However, this was good. " it's all about the cheese pull" We didn't wanna wait for a table, so we sat at the bar. Our bartender was so fun and had so many wonderful facts to share with us. Just know, it takes about 45 minutes for your pie to cook because they are made to order fresh hot and delicious. So be patient. It is worth it. read more

Giordano's - Deep dish with sausage and veggies - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This place is a short walk from the Field Museum. We came for lunch, and upon entering we were immediately seated. Nice artwork on the walls, it was warm in comparison to the temperature outside. We had Calamari, cheese wedges, a deep dish, a tavern style and the lasagna. All the food was good, but the Calamari was exceptional. I've never had it with banana peppers and lemon rings, but I absolutely loved it. My hubby loved his deep dish, but the bell pepper was under the cheese so I couldn't pick it off. It was a no go for me. I tried my daughter's lasagna and regretted ordering pizza at that moment. It was amazing. I've never had tavern style before, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. The flavor was good and the ingredients seemed very fresh. I would definitely come back for the lasagna and the Calamari. read more

Mmmmm.....pizza. Me love pizza of all types. A group of us from our running club gathered here to devour some deep dish pizza after running the Chicago marathon. What better way to refuel after 26.2 grueling miles than with a cheesy deep dish filled pizza? Sure, it was tasty and filling, but I'm still not really about eating pizza with a knife and fork, as this is more of a pizza-souffle to me. I wanted to take a nap after eating a few large pie slices. I did my best to eat as much as I could stuff my face with. I ain't no quitter! Service did as well as possible considering how crowded it was, and they took care of us best they could. A few cold beers bided our time until our pizzas arrived. As this Chicago pizza chain goes it does the job representing deep dish style. read more

This was our departing meal heading back home to MIA. Service was very friendly & attentive. Even though there was enough personnel on hand there were tables that were not turned over for a long period of time. Our personal pizza came out fresh but my husband's sandwich was delivered first so he had to start while we waited. He enjoyed the Italian. Overall this is a solid establishment to grab a decent deep dish. read more

This location is awful. Been here twice and issues both times. Staff does not care that you get the wrong pizza or that it is raw. First visit got the wrong pizza and was told tough luck while the staff argued about tips and seating. Reported to corp. and was told to email the store. No response in months from this location. Ordered take out this time and told 45 minutes to bake. Received pizza in 25 minutes, great! Problem is that the pizza was raw in the middle, which I asked the staff about. Told that is the way it is. Been to other locations and never ran into these issues. Was told there was nothing they could or would do, then told to email this same email address from my first visit. Was told this email goes to a district manager or a store manager, they were not sure but just told to email. Avoid this location read more

"I've been a Giordano's fan for over 30 years, enjoying their pizza at many locations, but the South Loop location is by far the worst. I ordered a tavern-style pizza, and it had almost no cheese--absolutely disappointing. I also had a bad experience with the GM, who did nothing when I reached out. I ordered through DoorDash, and even then, no resolution. I will never be back to this location read more

Giordano's - Deep dish Chicago Classic. - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Came here on a Saturday and it was busy, as expected. It was a 15-20 minute wait, which wasn't too bad. Got seated and ordered one tavern style, one deep dish, and one Italian beef sandwich. The deep dish and sandwich were off of the lunch menu. The pizzas came out first, they're probably pumping those out constantly. But the non-pizza items took so long to get out of the kitchen and it was just fries, salad, and the sandwich. Everything was really delicious tho. The cheese on the sandwich was an extra $1. Loved the crust on the deep dish, but it's too tomatoey for me. The tavern style was just a regular thin crust pizza to me. The sandwich was great. The cesar salad was fresh with great flavor and the parmesan garlic fries were great as well. read more

Had try Chicago's famous deep dish pizza. Found this place near the hotel we stayed so walked over for a bite. Ordered the vegetarian small to share as the slices were literally three inches thick and both of us were on a carb restricted diet. Surprisingly not as much dough as we were expecting (plus). Fair amount of stuffed veggies and cheese on top. Honestly wish they added much more cheese to the pizza which would have hit it out of the park for me. Personally, I'm more of a New York pizza fan. read more

Excellent deep dish pizza. The food got to the tables fast and there was no wait to get a table.

I asked for four frozen pizzas, 2 sausage (my favorite), 1 pepperoni and one cheese. They packed it up for me and I hand carried those heavy bad boys on the plane all the way back to california. When I went to unpack, I found two pepperoni and two cheese. Super disappointing. How hard is it to get the pizza type right? I basically paid a lot for not getting the pizza type I wanted. read more

Great Chicago deep-dish! We got takeout for a little party, and everyone had so much, we followed with a delivery! Their calamari appetizer was light, tender, and crispy, with a little lemon and bite-y (but avoidable) banana peppers. Tasty marinara to dip in. The grilled Chicken Caprese Melt sandwich had tasty basil pesto, with a reasonable amount of lots of mozzarella, lightly-marinated tomatoes, fresh greens, and a splash of lemony vinaigrette, all on toasted ciabatta. The real star was the pizza! Our takeout thin crust was the "super veggie", with black olives over the mozzarella, hiding a generous layer of mushrooms, green peppers, onions, broccoli, and spinach. Even the kids liked it! We loved the (mid-September '24) 50-yr-celebration special Calabrian Sweet and Spicy Chicken-Sausage deep dish, designed by a Michelin-starred guest-chef. Tender well-seasoned sausage with a generous cover of a medium-spiced giardiniera, drizzled lightly with not-too-hot chili honey. And it benefited The Lurie Children's Hospital! We added delivery of a classic deep-dish pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers & onion, always a favorite. Giordano's has never disappointed us, and this was a delicious feast! read more

First timers in Chicago so my husband and I had to stop into a Giordano's to try a deep dish pizza while in town. We came in on a weeknight for dinner and they were busy. Service was friendly but a little slow, understandable as they were catering to the influx of diners during the dinner rush. The food was great and the pizza lived up to the hype for us, especially for my husband. Our order consisted of: - Giordano's Sampler (for an appetizer) - a small deep dish Chicago Classic - a personal size deep dish with pepperoni and pineapple Everything from the appetizer to both pizzas was delicious. We especially enjoyed the bruschetta and mozzarella triangles from the appetizer. Both pizzas were also cooked to perfection. Everything tasted fresh and of good quality. We had no complaints and we were thrilled to have leftovers to bring back to the hotel with us. We tried a few other deep dish pizza spots during our stay and Giordano's was, by far, our favorite. We will definitely be back again the next time we're in town again. read more

We went while I was there for the Chicago Marathon. Long wait but that was expected considering the amount of people in town for the race. We decided to wait and it was worth it. Deep dish was absolutely amazing. Also had the Greek salad. Very good! Service was fabulous. Highly recommend! read more

Beware of the waiter Steven, who very rudely took our order (he ignored me twice, putting his elbows on our table and fiddling with the order pad, and then asked me to repeat my order each time while ignoring me). He finally said that the Internet wasn't working and had me repeat our order a third time before disappearing - never coming to check on us or give us water. We couldn't even flag him down because he went off to the kitchen and wouldn't even look our way the entire hour we were there. He came by at some point to drop off our starter but didn't even make eye contact or say anything to us like it was a drive-by, so we didn't even have a chance to ask for water or napkins or anything we needed. One of the other servers ended up helping us out the rest of the night, and Steven didn't come back to us at all the whole night until it was time to collect the check and tip. He suddenly was trying to be super nice telling us he "appreciated our patience" and stood over us to watch as we paid to try to pressure us into tipping for service that we didn't even receive. Our food was good otherwise though! Got the Chicago Classic deep dish and the sampler which were both delicious. I'd probably just order takeout next time. read more

I ordered a Gio Sampler and a personal deep dish cheese pizza. I received a pizza with sausage and was denied a refund since I had eaten my other items like my drink and Gio Sampler. But the over quality of the pizza was also disappointing to start. The box was dripping grease out of the side when I pulled it from their to go bag. read more

This was our first deep dish pizza experience, as we are from out of town. The staff were very friendly. The buffalo chicken wings were just hot enough. The deep dish pizza takes 45 minutes but is well worth the wait. We got the meat and more meat. So cheesy and just the right amount of sauce. My teen got the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and broccoli and she enjoyed it. Substantial portion. I would highly recommend Giordano's! read more

We came here for dinner around 5pm on a Saturday night. We came early hoping to avoid the crowd but still had to wait. When we put our name down, they said it would only be a 15 min wait. However, it ended up being closer to 30 mins. Once we were seated, it took a while to get waters and the drinks we ordered. I got a glass of wine and my husband got a beer. Service was pretty average, nothing special. We really liked all the food we ordered though! The beef arancini stole the show for us, they were served with marinara and beef au jus--both paired so well with the arancini. Side Caesar salads were only $6 and were a pretty decent size! Plenty of dressing and toppings. We split a deep dish pizza, as you do when in Chicago! We went with The Special which had sausage, mushrooms, green peppers, and onions. We've had other deep dish pizza in Chicago with better Italian sausage that tasted homemade, this sausage was still good but not quite like the other place. There was a good amount of sauce and cheese mixed in with the ingredients and it all stayed together nicely despite how much was packed inside each slice. The small was a perfect size for 2 people, we even took home some leftovers! We had a good experience here but there were obviously a few things lacking that make it a 4 instead of a 5 star experience. read more

This pizza place came highly recommended but did not live up to the standard. We visited on a Saturday night, one server who was also the bartender and busboy. He was rude and unfriendly, did not even greet us upon arrival to our table. The food was subpar, granted we have the best Italians in Florida, this place was shameful. Papa John's does pizza better. Do not visit as a tourist- avoid. Go instead to Art of Pizza! read more

First order of business after arriving in Chicago: a classic Chicago deep dish! We came on a Thursday afternoon so place was not too busy & we got seated as soon as we walked in. The Caesar's salad was refreshing and satisfying - great way to start our meal. The actual wait time for the pizza was about 40 mins (which caught me off guard given the fact that the place was fairly empty) but hey can't rush perfection. When the pizza finally did come, it was SO delicious! I came with little expectations and embraced the warm, flavors of this Chicago classic read more

I came here on a Sunday afternoon & the service was great. We were seated right away and our server frequently checked on us. I wasn't blown away by the food. We started with the cheesy garlic bread which I thought was better than the pizza. We also got a super veggie & a pepperoni deep dish. The crust on Giordano's just is not that good to me. It resembles card board and there is soooo much better deep dish pizza in Chicago than this place. I will say they deep dish pizza was LOADED with toppings - like so much pepperoni and vegetables, so I was a fan of that part. The thin crust was pretty good (better than the deep dish), but again nothing that I thought was amazing. read more

Yes they are famous for the deep dish Chicago pies but I left unimpressed. I visited this location because it was only 2 blocks from my hotel as opposed to another one on Michigan Ave. further north about a mile. When I arrived on a weekday night it was almost empty. I ordered the personal sized (6") deep dish pizza with my selected toppings of seasoned beef, onions and mushrooms for $16. I asked for a beer too with the meal as my waiter brought me a glass of ice water. It took about 25 minutes for my food to arrive and it was delivered by a person other than my waiter. It looked big and I enjoyed the double crust with cheese in between but my ingredients bathed in their marinara sauce was a little soupy. I would have liked it more firm. Taste wise it was ok but the best part was the crust and cheese. I never saw my beer along with my waiter until I was through. He never checked on me so I had my pizza with a glass of water. When he brought me the check he did on his own refill my water glass. In other words my table service was practically non existent. The pizza was a 3 but the service was a 1. This location has big glass windows looking out on Michigan Avenue and is attractively decorated with local art, posters, etc. and several TV's. It has a large full bar area too. read more

This was a must try for me being my first time in Chicago. I've never had deep dish pizza before. I must say it isn't my favorite however that's just based off my experience and love for pan / thin crust. We ordered meat and more meat with just pepperoni and bacon. It was supposed to be half cheese but maybe we didn't specify clearly. The order was hot and ready for pick up and overall it was good. Would recommend :) read more

Visiting Chicago for the weekend and decided to go with Giordano's for deep dish because it was close to our hotel. Our deep dish pizza came out and it was not fully cooked - the waiter did not apologize but offered to put it back in the oven. When it came back, the cheese was more melted but there was raw dough. Upon telling our waiter about the raw dough, he replied "it's an acquired taste, I don't cook the pizza." Absolutely no apology or service recovery was offered. I do not often complain or send food back at restaurants but this could not be ignored. Will not be returning. read more

Giordano's deep dish pizza deserves every bit of a 5-star review because it is absolutely amazing from the first bite to the last. The crust is thick, buttery, and perfectly baked, holding layers of rich cheese, fresh toppings, and flavorful sauce that tastes homemade and delicious. Every slice is filling and packed with flavor, making it feel like a real Chicago experience. The quality is always consistent, and you can tell a lot of care goes into making each pizza. If you want deep dish pizza that is hearty, comforting, and unforgettable, Giordano's is easily one of the best choices out there. read more

Overall, just not worth the hype. Lets consider than i can in just before 8pm on a Wednesday night. This place is near the conference center, where there is a massive event going on this week. It was not crowded when i walked in, i was seated right away. It got a but busy after. The ambiance it's fine, it's a pizza place, fun and a bit loud inside, what you would expect. The staff, what can i say, nothing special. They have 1 guy taking orders in the dining room area, and also at the bar. He took my order, and advised me the pizzas take anout 26 to 35 minutes, i was ok with that. I ordered a buold your own, personnal size pizza with 1 topping. The waiter never came back to me. An hour layer I'm waving down a nus boy too ask him about my pizza. Appatently he was also wondering where it was ‍. My pizza arrived moments later. It goes without saying i didn't get the infamous cheese pull. The pizza was warm at best, not hot. It was still good though, i did enjoy it. I'm sure it would've been much better right out the oven. My waiter came back, and i paid. Had the service been better, i would have probably had a canoli. But hey, i did read this place is for tourist, not the locals. read more

Classic Chicago spot. It's a chain restaurant but the pizza is good. I'm not a huge fan of deep dish pizza but when in Chicago, you have to try it. The pizza was good. I could only eat one slice and the rest I took home. And it was still good the following day. The service was good, pretty much ordered everything via QRS code and boom the food appeared. There's a bar inside the restaurant but they are extremely limited on the drinks that they can make. It's mostly beer. I would go back! read more

Giordano's is probably the most talked about deep pizza place in Chicago aside from Lou Malnoti's. Being from California I really wanted to try the deep dish pizzas here. I ordered a deep dish pizza, calamari, and the Italian salad. Everything was okay at best. The pizza took a while to come out and I felt like it wasn't hot enough it was just okay. The calamari was good, and the salad was overly dressed I didn't really like it. Our waitress was okay. She rarely came to check up on us to see if we needed anything or to refill our drinks. I would understand if it was busy but there were probably 3 other groups there. The ambiance was okay there was music and sports channels on the tv and everyone enjoying their own space. That's pretty much it. I don't think I would come back to this place but I'm really glad I tried it. read more

In the neighborhood so thought I would try the thin crust pizza. I was greeted at the door and seated at a high top around the bar. Several large tvs to watch sports games and nice ambiance. Steven took my order and explained the timing for the pizzas as deep dish was much longer. I tried a glass of the sangria tons of cherries and slices of fruit very refreshing. The pizza was crispy and cheesy perfectly melted with sausage and under and mushrooms on top. The food runner boxed my pizza up for me as well. Great service and friendly constantly checked on me and cleared my plates. read more

Went for lunch, had the personal Chicago style deep dish and salad, and got the broken cannoli too. Salad dressing was really good, vinaigrette based. Salad also had good selection of toppings. Pizza was great, lots of cheese and enough sausage to make it good, but the sauce was a little tangy and thin for my taste. The broken cannoli was awesome, like 2 cannoli worth of crème in a bowl with broken shells to dip into it. Very nice. read more

One star for a fantastic waiter/server but that was the only highlight. Where to begin? Last at Giordano's decades ago when I could still do the calories of deep dish. Not now. Figured I'd try the tavern style that I crave but never had here. What a giant disappointment. Pizza was overcooked on the edges. Hardly any cheese. Toppings were sparse and little to no taste. Crust was like flatbread...not a traditional crust. Partner had the small lasagna Bolognese. He said the sauce tasted like it was out of a can. Portion was very small. He said there was almost no meat in the meat sauce. But he liked the bread. Worst of all was there was a $1.25 additional charge on the bill from the company. Waiter explained it and asked if we'd like to have it taken off and we said yes and he did so. Awful. Bad food and an additional charge? I'm going back to Lou Malnati's instead next time I'm in the city. Life is too short for this. read more
