    Came here for dinner while visiting the area. Some of our party were first timers. Loved that this location was a hop & skip away from where we were staying. We were immediately greeted & seated. Luckily, it was not very busy. We ordered the classic and a salad. A must order every time we visit Chicago.

    When in Chicago, you gotta get a deep dish! Giordano's is definitely a Chicago staple. My sisters and I got the 10' chicken sausage deluxe topped with mushrooms and spinach. It was so yummy. I would also like to comment on how amazing the cheese pull was after the first bite. In addition to that, we also got calamari. The pizza does take 40 mins to make, but that's because they make it fresh to order, so we highly recommend getting an appetizer. The service was great, and they were also very attentive. The vibes were also great, it's a good place to watch some sports since they have multiple TV's. If you want to bring a pie back home, they have frozen pizzas you can order so you can take home a pie of Chicago with you!

    Ordered some pizza and salad here while on our quick trip to Chicago. It wasn't busy, so we were able to get sat right away. The way this place works is you order at the counter and then find a seat. As with most deep dishes, the pizza took about 30 minutes to come out. The pizza hit the spot, especially from someone who comes from LA where deep dish is not as easy to find. They have a lot of takeout pizzas that are frozen too for you to enjoy at home if you prefer.

    Extra crispy crust sausage and green peppers tavern pizza.

    I ordered an extra crispy crust tavern pizza with sausage and peppers. What I got was a BURNT pizza with barely any sauce. I've had better grocery bought frozen pizza. So disappointing. Love their deep dish.

    Everytime the family visits Chicago, getting an authentic deep dish pizza is an absolute must. The two best places are UNO and Giordano's, but Giordano's never disappoints! This was the first time our boys had been to Chicago and had this, but it was just as good as I remember from several years ago. When you arrive, you will place your order and then seat yourself. We called ahead to get the food started. Plan to sit and chat for a while or do the same because it takes a long time for the pizza to cook (think 40-60 minutes). While we waited, we tried the appetizer tray and it had a good assortment of items that appealed to different people in our party. However the pizza was the star of the show, as it should be! Hot, meaty, saucy, and delicious just like deep dish should be. Don't get too optimistic and overorder. The medium pizza can easily feed four and give leftovers....you get full fast. Whenever I come to Chicago, I stop for deep dish and Giordiano's is a definitely winner!

    Went to giordanos for dinner with my family and I haven't been to this locations in years. It's been remodeled and has more seating available. All orders are placed at the counter and brought out to you. We got a deep dish pizza and calamari. Everything was good. I will definitely be coming back.

    You Guys serious always some this location

    Came all the way from Florida to try the famous Chicago deep dish pizza and it didn't disappoint! The attention and service was amazing, made us feel so welcomed and even did the cutting and melted cheese demonstration for us. Great spacious place great to come with the whole family and have a great meal together!

    Favorite deepdish in the city! Excellent sauce, cheese, crust and toppings. Tried tavern style too. Very good, but nowhere near the deepdish.

    Nothing quite like deep dish pizza from a well known Chicago spot. While on my way out from a weekend visiting the Windy City and we'd have been loathe to miss a chance to have lunch! We stopped by this newer location - and they were very nice to let us know that this was a newer location with a newer staff and we were fine being patient! We got The Special pizza with a the house salad and really, really enjoyed our time. The staff was also nice enough of us to let us know that deep dish takes about 45 to cook - which was WORTH THE WAIT! Love deep dish style pizza and this pie was no exception. The crust was buttery was delicious, the sauce was fantastic, the cheese was perfect and loved how chock full the pizza was with toppings. Absolutely stunning. I made my way through 2 slices and then had to tap out - delicious. Big fan and definitely recommend!

    Meat lovers!
    Mag T.

    One of the best deep dish pizzas in Chicago!! Get the meat lovers pizza you wont be disappointed! We ordered a small for 2 people it was enough for us and we even had leftovers for the next day! *chefs kiss*

    Deep dish pizza: fresh spinach
    Mark D.

    Giordano's... It's all right. The pizza is ok... decent sauce, but the crust was plain and disappointing. It felt more like a product off an assembly line than a loving creation. The decor is clean. Service was good. I felt uninspired after eating there though and at a loss for words. I'd give it 2.5 stars, so I'll round up to 3 stars with all my feigned magnanimity.

We ordered the pepperoni deep dish and the pepperoni tavern style. The deep dish arrives in a cast iron pan, featuring caramelized crust that edges on burnt for a perfect, crispy crunch. The base is thick and doughy, layered with some mozzarella, a tasty sauce, and slightly charred pepperoni. The tavern style provides a nice contrast. Served cut into squares, it has a solid thin crust that holds up nicely under some melted cheese and loads of flat pepperoni. This remains my absolute favorite deep dish in Chicago, and I go anytime I'm in town visiting. Pro tip: Make a reservation well in advance because walk-in wait times get incredibly long.

My sister made reservations ahead of time, so we got seated quickly on the 2nd floor. We did have to have the large booth cleaned as there was pop on the seats and lots of crumbs in the corners of the booth. Kinda not so cool when we got there at 11:30, shortly after they opened. We ordered a small salad, a large pan pizza (this is not deep dish people...it's more like a round Detroit style pizza) w/just cheese and a large tavern style w/half sausage and half pepperoni w/the pepperoni on top of the cheese. Service was good, if not slow. Of course, you have to wait for the pan pizza, but we knew that. The tavern style came out first, just as we ordered it and piping hot. While the pizza was good, the crust wasn't as crispy as we care for. It was super cheesy...so we got some good cheese pull there. The pan came out and looked good, but when it came to cheese pull, it left a lot to be desired. The caramelized crust is good, but the pan pizza was nothing that blew our socks off. Decent, yes, but not that noteworthy. Would i go back?? All i can say is i wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again, but if i was near in a pinch, it would suffice.

However we arrived earlier than scheduled and we ended up getting settled at our hotel so we walked and went in early. We arrived at 4pm and they let us in - was perfect because it wasn't busy. It's my son's first visit to Chi-town so I think this is a good first meal. We got the Chicago meatballs so we can eat something as the deep dish pizza takes 30 mins. The meatballs are flavorful and filled us up until we get our pizza. We picked the Malnati's Chicago classic - medium. The butter crust is really good and the cheese to meet ratio is balanced. While it is deep dish - it didn't feel like it's super thick, I think the butter crust was the difference. It was quiet when we arrived and we were seated in the dining area by the back in the ground level. There was only 1 group and another couple when we arrived so it wasn't loud. I'm sure when it's peak hours it'll be more festive and busy. Great first meal - order some starters if you're hungry.

We started with the calamari, which I really enjoyed. The batter was light and crispy without feeling greasy. We also shared the seafood pizza, duck prosciutto pizza, cup and char pepperoni pizza, and the gnocchi. All three pizzas were delicious, with very thin and crispy crusts. The seafood pizza came with a soup or broth that you could pour over it, which was nice and it also came with so much seafood. The cheese was slightly firm, but the pizza was still flavorful and enjoyable. The duck prosciutto had a noticeable duck aroma, melty cheese, and a rich, savory flavor. The cup and char pepperoni pizza was satisfying as well, especially the pepperoni with its crisp, curled edges. The gnocchi was another standout. It was satisfyingly chewy with a great texture and bold flavor. We finished with the tiramisu, which was light, balanced, and not overly sweet. Overall, the food was delicious and the waterfront setting made for a lovely dinner. I just wish we had been seated at a more comfortable table for our party size.

The mozzarella sticks were very silky on the inside crunchy on the outside and came with a nice flavorful pomodoro dip. The meatballs had an Italian sausage/fennel flavor and were very tender, and the zucchini chips were the star of the apps!! Nice and crisp, they were cut into little super thin chips not like a traditional fried zucchini and the dipping sauce on that was also delicious and super fresh tasting Finally, we tried the spicy vodka tavern style pizza and added pepperoni to half. It was great both ways, super flavorful and the crust was perfectly crisp without being dry or overly crumbly. Pepperoni was a nice addition but not needed for sure.
