    Get the deep dish! A medium deep dish and a side of fries was easily enough to feed our four person group. Ava took absolutely outstanding care of us for our first time in Chicago. She even served our slices to us. It did take just under 60 minutes to get the pizza (as expected) but it was worth the wait. This place was nearly empty at 11:00am on a Sunday but then really buzzing an hour later. The restaurant itself is pretty cool and there is outdoor seating as well. If you've never had Chicago deep dish pizza, you gotta try Giordano's!

    Manager Orlando and waiter James were extremely hospitable! Chris brought Diego out service dog some water (10) points before the food arrived. We already knew Giordano's Pizza would be great . It was as we had the double pepperoni , Deep dish and about a 35 minute wait for it to cook. The service and friendliness sets this Puzza Gem apart. Thsnk you Guys!!

    It's the cheese pull for me! I came here after a big workout at Navy Pier and it was exactly what the doctor ordered. We ordered beers and deep dish pizza and after the hard wok I put in, it was a great reward. The pizza was amazing, so cheesy with amazing toppings. We got the equivalent of what would be a supreme. It was a great way to end the day, and our server was wonderful. Cheers to Chicago style!

    This location is at Navy Pier and it's very convenient when you want to sightsee there. There is indoor and outdoor space. I made reservations online so when I arrived I was seated right away. The deep dish pizza is very cheesy and good taste. We also really enjoyed the Greek salad and the Caesar salad. The staff was attentive. We had a good experience!

    Chicago Deep-Dish Pizza [Chicago IL] The deep dish pizza is hands down the most famous Chicago food well... in Chicago! so it was at the top of our list of foods to try during this trip being it's our first time in Chi-Town! We dined at Giordano's in Navy Pier. Although outdoor patio seating was available we wanted to dine inside to avoid the heat and humid weather. We were advised by the hostess to preorder our pizza at the counter located behind her and we were to receive a text message when a table was ready. We took this opportunity to look around the shops. It didn't take long until we received a text that a table was available and we were seated immediately but the waiter just put in our order... not sure what the "preorder" was for because it takes 45 mins to bake a deep dish with its thick, buttery crust and layers upon layers of gooey cheese and flavorful toppings. Deep dish requires time, patience, and attention to detail. In the meantime, ambiance was loud and noisy, everyone just having a good time. Anyway, we waited for maybe another 30-mins or more until our 10" pizza was finally served... the Chicago Classic -- Pepperoni and mushrooms (less the green peppers & onions). Oh my! This thing looks more like a pie filled with lots of cheese, sauce, and toppings than a traditional flat pizza. I had a single slice... that was it for me, I even struggled to finish it, I'm full! It was delicious! No wonder it's the #1 famous Chicago food... deep-dish pizza! Check! Review #3816

    6" personal BYO deep dish pizza

    We were starving and on a time crunch, so we ordered a 6-inch personal deep dish(B.Y.O) from Giordano's at Navy Pier. For toppings we went with pesto chicken, black olives, and toasted garlic. It was absolutely worth the hype, cheesy, flavorful, and super satisfying. They were super busy when we went (a lot of people had reservations or had already put their names down), so even though we got our pizza to go, it still took about an hour and a half. Luckily, we had time to explore the Navy Pier area while waiting. Totally worth it in the end. Would love to go back in for dine in next time!

    Had the deep dish Chicago classic, was very good they warn you it takes 45 minutes, but it was worth the wait and gave us time to plow thru the Calamari app we ordered which was wonderful. Servers were nice and would say stop by and check it out if your visiting the Navy Pier.

    Server was quick to greet us and fast with the drinks. He had several tables at once but was still very attentive to us. Food came out pretty quickly considering how thick these pizzas are. Tasted fresh/fantastic. We had a nice view out the window from our table. Restrooms and dining area was all very clean. Great visit!

    Finally got to try Chicago deep dish pizza! Heard good things about this place after reading lots of reviews online. When you arrive you have to put your name on the waitlist to be seated, then, you go and immediately "pre-order" your pizza so by the time you sit its ready. They informed us pizza takes about 45 minutes to cook, and we had to wait about 25 minutes for a table anyway. We ordered a small cheese deep dish which is for 2 people. We got seated on the outside patio and our server was super friendly. He was a little too too friendly as when I wanted more water he was busy talking to other customers, but that's okay he was nice. Pizza was good, I loved the cheese and sauce. The crust was a little bland as the end but it was a good texture. I grew up going loving deep dish pizza so I was glad I was finally able to try it in Chicago! We went to the location in Navy Pier so it was pretty busy as well.

    I was visiting Chicago and as I was exploring Navy pier came across Gerardo the original pair in the tomato bruschetta. The fruit was fresh not too loud and the staff was super friendly. They validate parking.

    Restaurant itself is fine. My rating comes from my personal dislike of deep dish pizza. I was visiting Chicago so wanted to try it but it was as bad as I had imagined. May give this place another chance next time for a different pizza. The location near Navy Pier is nice. They have ample seating outside which was welcome on a sunny spring day. Wait time is over an hour at busy times which did not help with the overall experience. Service was minimal at best. Both the server and the host did their least.

    This pizza spot was suggested to me while I was in Chicago We were at the Navy Pier and ordered some pizza TO GO The wait time was one hour for a pizza to go and the wait time to be seated was even longer The pizza itself is very good Ingredients are fresh I'm glad I had an opportunity to try this pizza but for me personally it's too thick and just too much

    The service was really great! My phones battery died when I arrived so I asked if they had a charger and if I could charge my phone while I eat. They happily gave me a charger and opened the bar so I had a place to sit and charge my phone. I got the Chicago Deep Dish pizza, but replaced the normal meat with chicken. They told me the wait would be about 45 minutes and I didn't mind because I needed to charge my phone anyways. It was a nice vibe and it was in navy pier so the view was nice as well. After 45 minutes my phone finally turned on with 5% and exactly as it turned on, the food arrived. It was great, I was super hungry that night as well so this really hit the spot. It was my first time having Chicago deep dish pizza and the way Giordanos makes it is pretty good!

A slice is a lot but it's so good that you end up eating more. You can also reserve via Tock, but beware that the normal dinner time can be booked out early!

I make better salads and dressings! We ordered a large pan pizza which was overly salty with burnt crust edges. The cheese and tomato sauce were really good, but the saltiness killed it for me. The place was packed and very noisy. Not sure if it was quieter on the second floor. When you have lots of customers, it's important to have a system of checking the status of the restrooms very often. They were quite neglected. We often have out-of-town and foreign guests to host and show off our city to. We always include a deep dish pizza meal for their experience, and usually at Lou Malnati's. Always a great experience, especially the branch in downtown Naperville- consistently good. And Lou's really makes the best salad than anywhere! Sometimes for a potluck contribution I just pick up a Lou's salad, guaranteed to make everyone happy. However, our guests enjoyed the pizza and dessert; thus, I can give 3 stars for our experience at Pequod's.

So delicious After getting it, my buddy had to get one too haha One of us had the moonwalk cheese, we go out for a lot of pizza together, and he said it was he thought his favorite of anywhere.

Oh my God cannot forget this drink program. Galactic gift basket and Jedi mind trick sooo fire.
