Waited years to return to my favorite Chicago pizza restaurant, and incidentally driving back from an extended stay in Chicago where we ate at one of the competitors ( "LM", and their pizza was soupy and sucked.... Ordered only pizza: deep dish chicken and spinach. Worth the wait: perfect!!! Yummy crust, good sauce and excellent consistency, the taste and seasoning was soooooooo good!!! Cheesy too! Shout out to the beautiful and friendly Lailey, one of the servers who was personable and sweet! read more

Ordered to go but totally wished we ate there. Nice decor with an upper New York kind of vibe. Their Pizza was phenomenal!!! In town from Dallas and definitely had our fair share of pizzas over the years. This one was pretty darn good! I would definitely recommend. read more

First time at Giordano's but I've had Chicago deep dish pizza before. The restaurant is in a great location in downtown Indy with high ceilings and lots of light. We went at 12:45 on a Thursday afternoon. We had a large group and were told it was about a thirty minute wait (which was fine). The food was good. I'm not a huge fan of Chicago style deep dish pizza but I hadn't had it in a few years. The crust was ok but not flaky enough. The sauce had a good tomato flavor and a bit on the chunky side. There were only a few pieces of sausage and the cheese was not very noticeable in the flavor profile. My Caesar salad was very good with lots of Parmesan cheese. The service left a lot to be desired. I'm not being critical of our server but rather the overall management of the service. They were very understaffed as servers were taking orders, bringing food and drinks, and clearing tables. The food came out of the kitchen slow. And there was one person (who I assume was a manager) who stood around with his arms folded, biting his nails, and doing nothing to help the servers. I'm sorry but if you are short staffed, roll up your sleeves and help clear tables or bring drinks. He did nothing while the servers ran from place to place. In the end, the food was ok but our experience lacked efficient service and I wouldn't go back to this Giordano's location again. There are a lot of other options in the area. read more

Came here for a later dinner recently to enjoy some Chicago deep dish. I honestly had no idea there was anywhere in Indy to get it! Our service was appropriately paced for the time it takes to make a Chicago deep dish pizza. I liked the TVs they had in the center of our dining area, which had some pre-season football coverage. The booths have taller partitions so it feels more intimate. I also liked the marquee saying "EAT PIZZA". I will certainly follow instructions there! The pizza we got was "The Special": sausage, green pepper, onion, and mushroom. I thought the pizza was fine, my only thing about Chicago style is that the vegetables can't caramelize like they would on a regular pizza. But that's just a personal opinion. I am pleased with the range of mocktail offerings, which are all $7. read more

Pizza and cheese garlic bread was on point. Our salad was not great at all. You'd expect a fresh cold Cesar salad but it tasted warm and soggy. No crunch on the salad at all. Our server was very good! She was attentive to our party. read more

We have not been to an authentic Chicago style pizzeria. We found Giordano's. We sat in the bar area with a view of the kitchen. Having worked at a pizza restaurant before I was blown away by the three people making the pizzas and the cleanliness of the entire kitchen. Totally organized. The pizza was very good. Will definetly have one again. read more

This place is my group's go-to place on Day 0 for PRI and it's honestly the BEST pizza ever. I'm from California and ever since I got my hands on a slice of Giordano's signature famous deep dish pizza, it was over. No pizza place from my home state can't compare so Giordano's is always something to look forward to during our 4 day visit. Meat and more meat! This was our table's pizza that was split between 4 people. Honestly can't complain, I love all of their pizza but since we only visit once a year, we always order deep dish style. Never fails and always leaves us full! Carnivore? Then you should definitely order this dish! Make sure it's the biggest one too! Calabrian Chili Honey Chicken Wings Ok so I can't be entirely biased with Giordano's. We wanted to try this out since it was a limited chicken wing flavor and honestly it wasn't the best. I mean it's a pizza joint? They specialize in pizza but we were so hungry that we figured to try it out. Hey, if you love chicken wings or just an enthusiast for wings in general, by all means give this one a shot if it's still available! Overall Always excited to come to Indiana cause I KNOW I'll be eating some damn good pizza. Deep dish style isn't for everyone which is nice that they have their Tavern Style and Thin Crust Pizzas. But since Giordano's specializes in deep dish pizza, it's highly recommended to order deep dish style! can't wait to visit again next year and see what new pizza they'll have! And can't forget about the awesome servers doing their best on those busy convention nights! Y'all the real MVP's! Ambiance is warm and inviting with a bit of high noise since it's also got a bar but it never phases me, if anything it's relaxing since I know I'll be indulging into pizza goodness. Just remember to come hungry and you'll guaranteed to leave happy! See you next year Giordano's! read more

My 5 Takeaways (in under 60 seconds) Location: Prime location in downtown Indy near stores and things to do. Street parking and nearby parking garages are available. Vibe: Family-friendly, relaxed, and comfortable atmosphere. The décor and layout are really nice. Service: Overall, the customer service isn't the best but isn't the worst. It could use some improvements, but nothing major. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and warm. Food: Really good deep-dish pizza! BIG portions, standout flavors, and superior ingredients. I recommend the Double Pepperoni - you won't be disappointed! Quick Tip: Don't sleep on their sides! The Greek Salad and Calabrian Chili Honey Wings are both top tier! read more

Giordano's - Greek Salad & Calabrian Chili Honey Wings - Pizza Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I LOVE Giordano's - it's my favorite Chicago-style pizza - and I'm in town for work this week. My husband told me there's a location 1/4 of a mile from my hotel, so I decided to get delivery tonight. They are not on Doordash - they have their own system, and there is a $1 delivery fee, $3 driver fee, and then tip on top of that. I ordered bruschetta for an appetizer and an individual pizza with garlic, mushroom, and pepperoni. It said on their website it would take about 50 minutes to an hour, so I made sure to order it as I was leaving a work event. 60 minutes came and went, then 70, so I called the restaurant to check on the order. It turned out the driver had left my meal with the front desk. (This was partially my fault - it turns out cell reception isn't great in my room at this hotel, it turned out the driver DID text me, saying "downstairs with your order," but I didn't receive it until 8:25pm ... I ordered around 6:50pm and the order was supposed to be ready 7:50-8:00pm) Because of this, I didn't get my food until 8:10-8:20 or so, and unfortunately the pizza was barely warm. My hotel thankfully has a microwave so I microwaved it a little bit, but even before that, the crust was kinda soggy, as was the bruschetta - even though I appreciate them putting the tomatoes on the side, so that the whole thing wasn't soggy. All of this with tip was about $36 btw, and if I didn't have a work expense account I'd be even more disappointed than I currently am. Oddly enough, the bruschetta was better than the pizza, maybe because the tomatoes were put on the side. The pizza was still tasty but the cheese and the crust was lukewarm at best. read more

Definitely not the best in the world. We did not like the pizza dough and it pretty much tasted like a store bought option. We were so hungry and still ate most of it but it's very doughy and not tasty. We did delivery and they part worked out well. read more

Went for their lunch special and it was absolutely delicious. Also very affordable and quick for 30 minute lunch.

Best Chicago style deep dish I can find in Indianapolis. Located in the heart of downtown, it is a busy, trendy location. They have a full bar with a fair selection of craft & domestic on tap, and bar seating. The cons, they have the most uncomfortable bar stools that you can find. If you are getting the deep dish, they tell you it is a 45min wait, that is worth it but avoid those bar stools. read more

I absolutely love Chicago food, with Chicago style deep dish pizza being a fav of mine... you can't really get it on the East Coast, so when I visit places where there's a Lou Malnati's, I get it! So, when in Indy and seeing there was a Giodano's I wanted to try it to see how it compared to Lou Malnati's. I previously only tried Giodano's in ORD and didn't think the airport version was the right way to try it, so I came here to see what the actual, handmade restaurant was like. Service was very slow, I had to wait a long time before my server came to the table to greet me, once she did, she was very friendly. Also, if you order a pizza, it take about 45 minutes to make, which I understand. I tried a small pepperoni with jalapeños and asked for extra tomato sauce. It did take about 45 minutes to show up at the table and, as you would imagine, it was piping hot. I dug right in, and the "umami" I crave in the Lou Malnati's sauce and crust was totally lacking - which was my first impression. I took a few more bites and loved the thickness and stringiness of the cheese. The bottom crust was good, but the side crust was thick and flavorless. I ate only 3 slices there and took the rest to go. I actually put it in the hotel room's fridge and then flew home with it the next morning to share with my son, who also love Lou Malnati's. He enjoyed this pizza, but I feel that's because he's been craving Lou's so much lately... so have it! Would I return to a Giordano's? Nope... I'll stick with Lou's! read more

Hotel is essentially across the street and the delivery service which Uber Eats said was restaurant staff couldn't find the hotel. Across the street and it still took 90 min to receive our pizza. Not expecting a dine in hot pie but when you're stuck working late and the restaurant is literally across the street, I did expect the delivery of a hot pizza, especially considering how much I paid for a small pie. Not in a hurry to order again read more

Great visit to Chicago style pizza in Indy. Had the Chicago Classic with my significant other and had plenty of yummy pizza to pig out. Happy for the walk downtown this summer evening read more

They were short staffed. For a small thin crust margarita pizza it took an extremely long time !! once we got it they tell us that they were out of basil. And there was no tomatoes on it. Why would you make just a cheese pizza and not tell us first so if you wanted to change your minds, we so we just got a cheese pizza. It was OK tasting, but I've had better !! Our server never came back to us at all so we got a different one and he was nice. we won't be coming back here. read more

Food was incredible. Garlic parmesan fries were delicious. The pizza was well made a unique. I really enjoyed the food. Service was good. Attentive waitress. Satisfied my expectations. Ambiance was neat, felt like a good family friendly atmosphere. Overall, it was really good. I would try again if I was a local and I think it's worth your time to give it a try. Personally, I think it is best suited for lunch. Definitely get the normal pie and share with friends or family. BE WARNED - IT TAKES 30-45 MINUTES MINIMUM TO COOK PIZZA!!!! I would say it's worth the wait. read more

Good food overall, and the deep dish pizza especially is solid, no complaints there. (Just be prepared to wait a while!) The service is excellent too, the staff go out of their way to make sure you have a good experience here. But honestly, I don't quite get what all the hype is about when people call Giordano's the ABSOLUTE place for pizza. Maybe there's something wrong with my food tastes, who knows. As an IU student, I've had pizza from Mother Bear's in Bloomington that's just as good. and for cheaper prices too. Still worth trying if you've never had Chicago-style deep dish pizza before, but for me, it didn't quite live up to the reputation. That being said, this review is NOT negative by any means - it's just that I don't understand the hype. That's all. I personally wouldn't go out of my way to eat here specifically, but if I am craving pizza then I might make my way here if I have no other options nearby. read more

A friend who loves Chicago-style pizza more than anyone else I know came to visit for a catch-up weekend. No surprise - she wanted our 1st dinner of the trip to be "wait for it" Chicago-style deep dish pizza. ;-) After reviewing the available options, we agreed that we'd head to Giordano's - it's a Windy City deep-dish pizza institution that also has a location in Indianapolis. We'd had a huge lunch, so after due consideration we decided. To split a personal size deep-dish pizza. Tip: Unless you're absolutely starving, a personal size deep-dish pie is more than enough food for two people to share. We chose a pie with extra cheese and Jalapeños. Having read that it takes 45 minutes before one of these pies is done baking, we ordered in advance for pickup. Our pie was done at the appointed time, and it smelled Heavenly! When we sat down to eat and dug in, it tasted even better than it smelled - the combination of the spicy Jalapeños and Giordano's legendary butter crust truly hit the spot! I look forward to returning and dining in next time; I'm already thinking about the other toppings I'd enjoy trying :-) read more

We came into the area for a conference and had heard raving reviews about this place, so my wife and I decided to try it. We walked about .5 mile from our hotel, the place wasn't packed which was great. We were seated quickly and service was amazing. We both ordered the specials with the 6" deep dish and salads along with the cheesy garlic bread as an appetizer. The appetizer was nothing but bread with a thin layer of cheese. I took one bite and was like "nope". The dipping sauce was absolutely disgusting. Our main dish was such a disappointment. My 6" pizza was dripping with water and was cold in the center. It was a frozen pizza that had been heated up. My wife's pizza was the same way. We payed and left. Such a disappointment. read more

Here for a work convention and celebrate a previous coworkers birthday over lunch. We found this hidden gem that was a must visit after our delicious discovery in Chicago.

She did get my next beer & wife's drink refilled lightning quick and sipping away into bliss we went.... We decided on the garlic cheese bread for an appetizer and oh my goodness....best decision ever!!!! It was probably the best I have had in a while. It also came out lightning fast! The order of Thin crust sausage hit the spot! It came with a small salad and overall the portion...well it was huge and delicious. The Pizza we all ordered had great flavor!!! Piping hot and super tasty... Great tasting beers, great tasting food... fantastic service... All members of the team should be commended!!!!

I don't want to go off line I did on Google but how do you order a Detroit style Pepperoni pizza and they completely forgot the pepperoni.

The sauce here is so good! Tangy and sweet tomato sauce that is just bursting with flavor. The deep dish pizza is what we came for, and we also got arancini, mozzarella triangles, and I got a side salad. All good, especially with the sauce to dip it all in. I do have to wonder if the arancini and mozzarella triangles are made here, or if they are shipped in from somewhere else... Slightly underwhelming, but definitely tasty My sister got a gluten free pizza, which was just meh. GF crust is hard to do, and she wasn't impressed quite enough by the sauce to push it past meh. The kids pizza was good enough for the picky 7 year old to demolish it, and plain buttered noodles for the 5 year old so good she ordered a second plate My sangria was nothing special, clearly a premade drink. I was not impressed when Matt ordered a ginger ale and was told they don't have it...and no clear soda alternate was suggested. Service was good - quick and everything was hot. The sauce pushes it from a 3 to a 4 for me. I'd go back next time I'm in Indianapolis. read more
