    Very veggie deep dish pizza
    Monica J.

    I was greeted with a smile when I entered the door, for my pickup. The pizza was actually good ordered the very veggie and it was loaded with veggies . When we went to heat it up the next day, the crust stuck to the cardboard. I made sure that it was completely cooled before putting it in the fridge as instructed on the box , so I'm not really sure why it stuck like that

    We were very disappointed in this location. Seriously, why you serve a lukewarm warm deep dish pizza to customers? I'm convinced our pizza was frozen and they just heated it up but did a terrible job of it. We ate In restaurant and they delivered right to our table so it should have been hot and fresh. We've had Giordano's in Chicago and remember it being fantastic and worth $35 a pie but this was gross.

    Love this lighted sign!

    We had a fab family meal here and everyone was wowed by the authentic Chicago deep dish pizza! We shared the appetizer assortment to help pass the time while our pizza baked. Everyone loved all the apps! We got the deep dish in cheese, pepperoni and Margarita. All were amazing! Service was friendly. It was a great time. We will be back!

    Pizza!

    Chicago style is the way to go! Best pizza I've ever had! Super friendly staff and great atmosphere!

    Super Veggie Thin Crust Pizza
    Mr S.

    It was fantastic! Nice workers. They had our order ready ahead of time since we had a big group. The worker cut the first slice of deep dish and we were amazed watching the thick cheese stretch a foot in the air and thwack back in place. The thin crust was the perfect crunch and I couldn't stop grabbing another slice! The whole family enjoyed it. We even got a good family picture at the end.

    Went for dinner and our choices we made were outstanding. From the pitcher of Blue Moon, sharing the salad and consuming the amazing pizza, everything was delicious! Service was excellent and ambiance inviting. We ordered a meat lovers deep dish pizza and Caesar salad. Had enough pizza leftovers for two meals! So glad we went for eat in because we all enjoyed the experience!

    Chicago Style

    This is some great pizza! I am traditionally a thinner crust, New York style pizza guy so this is a different experience for me. The crust is done and has a crispness to it, even on the bottom. It is heavenly, cheesy goodness! The service was great and they had awesome recommendations for appetizers and I loved every one of them! Don't sleep on the fries and ranch! The ambiance is nice and reminds me of a pizza joint! Bottom line, this is great pizza regardless of whether you like this style or not!

    The Special Deep Dish Pizza

    We used the online ordering system and everything was a breeze. When I went to pick up, the workers were nice. We got the Special Deep Dish. Like all deep dishes, this had a healthy amount of cheese. 10/10 cheese pull. I'm not sure if it's possible, but I think the crust could have used a little garlic butter and I will ask to see if that's possible next time.

    We went there on a Friday evening, and as expected, it was busy. The staff was friendly, which made a difference during the wait. It took about an hour to get our deep dish pizza. We ordered the Meat and More deep dish pizza, and oh my goodness -- it was absolutely delicious! I'd hate to say it, but it was worth waiting for. There was two of us and we got the smallest pie (12 " ) we ate half of it and got so full, so we had left overs to take back home.

    Pizzas were good, nothing spectacular!!! It takes about 45 minutes for the Meat Deep Dish Pizza!!! Cheesy breadsticks were also good!!!! Staff friendly with good service!!! Very cold in the dining room!!! Clean place with a nice sign on the wall!! Would recommend if you like to try Chicago type pizza or just want something different!!!

    When did this Giordano's location at Polaris Parkway open up? I had no idea they were in Columbus? I've been to the Chicago location several times.

    Close to 2 years. They also have locations in:… 

    Would the dough be considered vegan?

    I would call and ask the restaurant. Most dough has eggs in it, which isn't vegan, obviously, yet I'm not sure of their recipe.

    Any gluten free choices?

    They have gluten free crust

    Is anyone else having trouble ordering online from Columbus?

    i tried yesterday evening, and it said that they couldn't take any more orders for the day. today it won't even let me put items in the cart for this location. but i callled, and after waiting for 7.5 mins. someone picked up and i placed an order.

    When will this location be opening?

    I was totally in love with this space and the food served inside. We ate around 6 PM and it was…read moregolden hour so the lighting was gorgeous. The space is very bright and airy: loved the floral and plant vibes. Our server was kind but maybe a bit apprehensive because we brought our two daughters. Sometimes I feel bad bringing kids but honestly we deserve to have good food even if there are little mouths involved. We had the focaccia starter and it was as pillowy and sumptuous as it looked. Next was broccolini which our 8 month old devoured. I tried the funghi pasta and my husband had the sausage ragu. Both had generous portions. The kitchen made butter noodles for our daughter and she LOVED them. I was pleased they didn't try to doll them up because she really did just want noodles and butter. Finally, the octopus was sooo tasty. The sauce was super flavorful and I love a good bean addition. Delicious meal all around.

    YE Gurl Says: Speck Had the Scene, But Did It Feed the Girl?…read more Place: Speck Italian Eatery Date: June 30 You know a restaurant is popular when you've been trying to get a reservation and keep losing the battle. So when a girlfriend chose Speck Italian Eatery for girls' dinner, I was ready. Italian food is one of my first loves. I was expecting good food, a good atmosphere, and frankly, a little "this is where everybody is trying to be seen" energy. And on that front? Speck delivered. The space is airy and attractive, the atmosphere was lively, and despite the seating being a little tight, our table toward the back had plenty of room. My girlfriend had been raving about the focaccia, so obviously we had to test the theory. Housemade focaccia with olive oil and sea salt? Yes, ma'am. We shared a few things, including the Crudo--hamachi, blood orange, Castelvetrano olives, fennel, and basil--and the Gem, a crunchy vegetable salad with pistachio, Parmesan crumb, and vinaigrette. Our waiter deserves a shoutout because when it came time to settle up, he was gracious enough to split the shared dishes down the middle for both the portions and the bill. That's good service. For my entrée, I ordered the Cacio e Pepe--except this version uses gnudi, peppercorn, and pecorino. It was good enough that I immediately thought about the beau, who loves cacio e pepe, so half went home with me. I also ordered another focaccia to go. And naturally, I had my Peroni while I was there. So here's where my Italian grandmother's spirit entered the chat. The food wasn't bad. The value is what lost me. For a pescatarian dinner, I felt like the portion sizes and prices didn't quite meet in the middle. Maybe I'm spoiled. I've eaten Italian food made by grandmothers and grandfathers in Little Italy, New Orleans, and Italy itself. I'm accustomed to Italian food being generous, comforting, unfussy, and--most importantly--filling. Speck feels more like consumerism Italian to me. Beautiful room. Beautiful plating. Trendy ingredients. Great atmosphere. But I'm still sitting there wondering when dinner is coming. And the bill didn't help. There's a 3% charge toward team member healthcare, and my portion of the dinner came to about $57. My girlfriend also had a basic Pomodoro pasta, around $17, which means the two of us were already north of $100 before drinks on her side, dessert, and my 20% tip. For two people. And we weren't exactly leaving with the kind of leftovers that could feed us tomorrow. That math gave me pause. YE Gurl Insight: There's a difference between expensive food and expensive dining. I'm perfectly willing to pay for an exceptional meal. But when the experience is carrying as much of the price as the food itself, I need the food to make me forget what I paid. Speck didn't quite get me there. And that's unfortunate because the restaurant absolutely has the atmosphere and popularity to become a regular destination. Final Take: Atmosphere: 1/2 Service: Food: 1/2 Portions/value: 1/2 Pescatarian Experience: 1/2 Would I return? Maybe--but the bar is now considerably higher. YE Gurl Says: Speck is a great place to be seen. I'm just not convinced it's the place to get fed--at least not if you're a vegetarian watching your dollars. I was generous with that 20% tip because the service deserved it. Consider that my chef's kiss goodbye... at least for now.

After skimming through the reviews I was a bit hesitant on coming here, but honestly I can assure you that the only thing I regret is not trying this place sooner. My boyfriend and I noticed it was in a small plaza and our first thought was that a "hole in the wall" place are usually the best so we were immediately excited. I did make a 6pm reservation after reading the reviews even though it was Wednesday and we were seated on arrival. We noticed the place was starting to get packed so I do agree that making a reservation would be best or try to avoid coming here on the weekends if you have issues with waiting or being crammed in small places. From start to finish, everything was a delight. Here's what we savored: * The homemade bread and butter- simply fantastic. I was going to ask for warm bread after reading a review, but since the waitress brought it out immediately I didn't mind and honestly it didn't need to be warm because it was good as is. The butter IS a true winner. I had to pace myself because I didn't want to fill up too soon! * Apps: WARNING portions are generous enough to be meals! We couldn't believe they were appetizers when it was brought out. Crab Cake- I've eaten a lot of crab cakes and I will say no, this wasn't the best crab cake I've had in my life BUT it was definitely a really good crab cake. Especially one with no breading. It was served with a delicious lemon butter sauce. Whoever wrote that the sauce was "sour" in a review made me giggle while eating this because I mean the sauce has lemon in it... hence the name, but even so the flavors were perfectly balanced and I enjoyed every bite. Fried Eggplant- okay my taste buds went over the moon with this one. An absolute standout. The eggplant was cooked to near perfection, and the creamy tomato sauce was to die for. 10/10! It was such a flavorful dish. Tossed Salad- a fresh, vibrant salad with a vinaigrette dressing so addictive we finished it in minutes. This is a unique salad because of the bow tie pasta in it. The tomatoes and green beans that also come in the salad are a nice touch and very enjoyable. * Entree- my boyfriend ordered the Chicken Marsala and he loved it! The chicken was cooked flawlessly, and the pasta was incredibly soft--possibly one of the best texture I've ever experienced. The marsala sauce was rich and flavorful. Ravioli- I opted for the spinach noodles with ricotta cheese and chose the link sausage. I also asked to have the crumbled sausage added as well (for an extra charge) because I needed to try this sausage that everyone has been talking about..... This Morettis sausage recipe does NOT disappoint. If you don't like "spice" you won't like it because it does have a kick to it, but I enjoy spicy. I will say I'm a fan of the crumbled sausage over the links though. It may be the same thing??? but I could go without the link casing. The ravioli were massive, perfectly stuffed, and absolutely delicious. Dessert: We couldn't resist not ordering and trying the dessert so we took it to go. They were offering a caramel apple cheesecake. After the food coma wore off, we enjoyed it at home, and I fell even more in love with this place. It's unlike anything I've tasted--cheesecake with apples inside is a game-changer! Every sauce and dish was outstanding, bursting with flavor and made with care. Karen took excellent care of us, making us feel welcome and ensuring we had a fantastic first experience. We're already planning our return to explore more of the menu. Thank you for a wonderful dinner. This place truly exceeded my expectations!

I also noticed unfortunately there was no sitting or lounge area for customers to sit if they are Waiting for a table or waiting for a ride share. If you have to wait you are literally in the way of servers or the opening of the front door. I opted for the "Lighter Fare" menu at $55.00, your only two other choices were a Tasting menu at $110.00 or a Pelino's Dinner at four courses for $69.00. The menu is very limited, there is no A la carte available. Our server was professional & polite & the entire staff was lovely. I ordered : First course :Tornare alle Origini Eggplant, Pachino tomatoes, Castelvetrano olives, Pantelleria capers Main Course: L'Oro Verde della Sicilia Rigatoni, Lemon, Butter with Pistacchio di Bronte Crema Dessert : Semifreddo agli Amaretti Amaretti crumble, Semifreddo with Chocolate Sauce This breakdown comes to $18.00 per course. Looking back even the Lighter fare menu is too expensive especially for only one main course on the nights menu that offers Shrimp on your pasta, not even a protein like Chicken or Beef. The most disappointing part of the meal was the temperature of the food, not even remotely warm for this small restaurant. I had a guest dining with me and their first course of Toasted focaccia, Salt-cured Italian anchovies, Bagnet Verd which was comically 2 tiny pieces of bread smaller than a quarter & rock hard for $17.95. Sadly, I would not recommend Pelino's Pasta its too expensive & your clothes smell of seafood after dining there.
