    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.

    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.

    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*

    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.

If you have seen any of my other reviews, I always get a meatball when I'm at a place that has them. They almost never live up to my expectation. But this place has the new gold standard for a meatball. It was everything you want. It is fork tender, full of flavor, no chewy ground up bits. The pizzas were authentic and thin. With fabulous house made red sauce that wasn't too thick and overwhelming. The flavor was A+ The cocktails were so good! All made from scratch with love. The ambiance was cozy and comfortable. Perfect for a group or a date. They have a full bar, and also great seating with perfect lighting. This is a new favorite for me in the city.

The reservation we got was for the patio, but when we arrived, they didn't have a table for us. We waited probably an extra 15 mins and then the lady was able to arrange an inside table for us. She had been getting a bit of lip from folks coming in just before us, and so she definitely seemed to be dishing out some lip herself. I think that should have been a better experience. I will acknowledge that we did appreciate a table inside eventually when the one just outside wasn't there. Our server once seated was like, amazing. To me she made up for the passive aggressive comments from before. She was so patient and well-spoken and all. Seemed like she was from a Michelin-star place. So to start, the Caesar salad was ok. What was nice in there, it had these crispy chips of some kind in the salad. Overall, the dressing could've been a bit more caesar-y. Then we also had these truffle oil mozzarella sticks and those were pretty amazing. Served with marinara sauce, which was pretty good. But the sticks themselves were like so cheesy and gooey and freshly made, it was great. Then for the mains, we had a vodka pasta and one other one. Both were vegetarian pasta options, which is great. Both had really nice flavored sauces and the pastas were also done right. I forgot to ask for crushed red pepper as some spice boost would've made things even better. Also, one of the pastas was a gluten free - and it was really good - in the sense that I never would've guessed that it was gf. It's a corn-based pasta, in case anyone wants to know. I really wish they had an eggplant parm, but unfortunately they had only chicken and veal parms, only. Lastly, and to top everything else off, we had a soft-serve almond-caramel (not the exact name) gelato. Wow, that was SO good. Nutty flavor and creamy rich. Probably the best course of the night. Just outstanding. I chose it based on ChatGPT recommendation and it was just spot ON. Definitely a place I'll come back to.

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.
