Really good pizza!!
ShaReese C.

Came to Chicago in June. Went to the closest Giordanos. Amazing server. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean dining room and restroom.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Amazing amazing pizza!! I've never had Chicago style pizza and this was so so good!! Sad i couldn't take it on the plane ride home!

The Super Veggie Thin Crust Pizza
Anita P.

This was my first time getting a thin-crust pizza at giordanos! We got the super veggie pizza which has spinach, mushrooms, olives (we swapped for avocado), and garlic. The staff were really nice and we waited about 25 mins or so for our pizza which is pretty standard. I think our pizza specifically could've had a bit more sauce as there was much more cheese and toppings so the ratio was a bit off. Overall, it was just ok but I'd stick to the deep dish here.

Chicago style deep dish house, specialty pizza
Nathan F.

I read the reviews. Here's what you need to know: if you want the deep dish Chicago style pizza you need to know it takes a while to prep and cook (20-40min). Understanding this will keep you from being frustrated over a long wait. I ordered a small deep dish of their house specialty and it was amazing! Ingredients were fresh and the crust is both crispy and flaky on the outside and doughy inside. (Pics below) I love non-chain local food and the ambience of this place is exactly that. Coming in from out of town I felt like I got a good experience of a local Chicago pizzeria. I highly recommend just make sure you're not in a hurry and if you are don't order the deep dish Chicago style pizza. If it's busy, just understand that the staff is going to serve you as quickly as possible... order a salad or an appetizer sit back relax and enjoy it!

We took out the Chicago classic deep dish pizza and chicken spinach pizza. Both of them were too salty for my taste.

Great quality, pizza, pepperoni sausage, and Canadian bacon
Carlos O.

Arrived from a long trip from Southern California! My plan was to get a Deep Dish Pizza Giordano's absolutely did not disappoint pepperoni, sausage, and Canadian bacon a little pricey but worth every penny! Chicago is the only place to get great quality ingredients Deep Dish Pizza. Other States don't even come close. Thanks you staff & Giordano's for the experience..

margarita pan pizza with no pesto
Xiangling M.

Giordano's was a great experience. The ambiance was warm and cozy, it looked very welcoming. They looked understaffed, though it was just after Christmas. Hence it was a bit slow, but the food was totally worth it. My friend and I ordered the Margarita pan pizza with parmesan crust without pesto. It was really good and saucy. We will definitely be back in the future.

Every time I am in Chicago whether it be for a short layover or to spend multiple days here, I always get Giordano's. I recently discovered the personal sized deep dish which is just enough to satisfy my craving of true Chicago style pizza. Today I also tried the brownie bites dessert, and I was not disappointed! Also, keep in mind that Giordano's delivers to Chicago O'Hare airport. I may have taken advantage of this a time or two when I had a layover at ORD!

Hunks of sausage buried under cheese the size of a small child's fist.

The deep dish pizza at the downers grove location has gone downhill. For 3 times in a row, they made a pizza with giant size hamburger paddies under the sauce. If I wanted a hamburger, I would have ordered from five guys. The manager attributed this to "everyone has different size hands so the sausage is sometimes larger than it should be" and followed up with "and it's laziness". Here's an idea: maybe have a nickel in front of the pizza makers and say "sausage no larger than a nickel" and if they do not follow orders, fire them. Our crust also tasted like it was pre-made and we received someone's cancelled order that they heated up. Done with this joint

Awful disgusting excuse for a deep dish pizza.I feel so disrespected that i paid for this product.Cold and uncut.So thin and lacking cheese

This place is amazing. Not only do they carry my favorite Neapolitan pizza (Prosciutto and…read moreArugula), it's quite possibly the best version I've had of it outside Venice (though I'll want to try it a few more times before stating that as certainty). I especially liked how they kept the toppings (prosciutto, arugula, and cheese shavings) in a separate box, letting you cover your pizza with them just when you're ready to eat it (so the arugula doesn't wilt and the other toppings stay vibrant). Half the other places do that with only the arugula. Also, the balsamic glaze comes in a cup for you to drizzle on yourself when ready. All in all, pretty awesome. My only negative takeaway might be that the amount of prosciutto seemed a bit skimpier than any of the others, while the arugula was too much--but my dog loved it). I'd hope to see it better balanced in the future (or at least a bit more prosciutto).

We arrived at 6:30p on a Friday night. The place was packed, mostly with families with kids. There…read morewas a family sitting in the parking lot eating out of the back of their truck. In retrospect I get it. You order at the counter then seat yourself. The dining are was loud, even at a tall table in the corner conversation was difficult. The staff was attentive asking us if we needed anything, other than our food...no. My friend ordered the "white pizza" that has WAY too much garlic. I had my standard sausage/mushroom/cheese. Not over garlic, but unremarkable. If we return it would be carry out, but I doubt that is going to happen.

We tried both the homestyle thin crust pizza and pan pizza. Normally, we are not fans of thin crust…read more(the homestyle) pizza, but figured we had to try it since that is their specialty. We are so glad we did! Because the cheese was perfectly gooey without being overwhelming paired with a delicious tomato sauce atop a complimentary crust with just the right amount of give to it. This may be the only thin crust pizza I would continue to get. The pan pizza was basically just the thin crust pizza with a lip on the perimeter and more cheese. This pizza was not nearly as good as the thin crust because if I'm going to eat a non-thin crust pizza, I want a more doughy crust and this just did not deliver. There was also too much cheese and it wasn't charred the same way the thin crust was. The inside is quaint with hats from all over everywhere. Service is also very kind and as quick as they can be with how busy it is. My only complaint is I wish they had a vegetable side dish that was fried, but it's a local pizza shop and perhaps not the right audience for this.

Very good tavern style pizza. We did a half pepperoni and half sausage pizza. Both were good, yet…read morethe pepperoni while it was generous in portion was a tad on the greasy and saltier side. The sausage was definitely the fan favorite for the kids. I have to say the pizza crust was really enjoyable, crispy throughout and not too paper thin and robust enough to hold all toppings. As far as service, it's best to call in ahead to put in your order, as I've heard they only pump out 100 or so pizzas per day and seem to be in high demand. For example, we called in on a weekday at 4:45pm and pick up wouldn't be until 6:35pm. So roughly, two hour wait which was on par with what I've read about. The shop itself is very small. Only two tables and the rest of the space is dedicated to the kitchen and pizza oven. I'd recommend taking to go as inside runs hot from the big ol' oven. All in all, really great quality tavern style. Worth a try if you can time the order with when you want to eat. =P 'Til next time, cheers!

My wife wanted a dinner so she got salmon with roasted potatoes and broccoli. I wanted more of an appetizer type lunch so I orders a slice of cheese pizza, fried calamari, and garlic bread. My wife didn't want her salad because of this latest lettuce scare, so I scarfed it down. Everything I had was outstanding. The pizza was really good, with a crisp crust and great sauce. The garlic bread was very tasty and came with a marinara dip. The calamari was crispy and light. My wife liked her salmon, although the picture on their website made it look a little bigger than actual size. Potatoes and broccoli were good, she said. The real question is, would I return? A resounding yes, I would say. I really liked it.

I ordered garlic bread and a 14" meat lovers pizza to go. They do have some seating inside, more seating than I expected. Initially, the garlic bread was okay. It has a more buttery taste than the other ones I've had. After I reheated it on my pizza stone, it became very tasty and crispy. The garlic bread I give it is 4.5. It tastes great if you use a pizza stone. The pizza on the other hand, I was underwhelmed. I ate it when it was fresh as well as on the pizza stone. The crust is bland and tasteless. The sauce was great. The toppings were okay. I ordered this ultra thin, crispy, and extra sauce. Pizza is like 2.5-3. Overall experience is a 3. This is a one and done for me.
