    the front of a restaurant

    About a 1-1.5: Not sure what happened, but Giordano's has been really missing the mark the past few times we've ordered the pizza here. This place has always been our go-to for deep dish, but the past few experiences made us realize that we need to find a replacement, stat! We came here for an earlier dinner, and we ordered: +the Giordano's Sampler - this came with boneless chicken nuggets, mozzarella triangles, and cheesy garlic bread; instead of choosing between the two, both the Buffalo and the BBQ sauce came with for dipping; the chicken nuggets were okay, and the mozzarella triangles were fine; the cheesy garlic bread had a weird green tinge to it - I thought it was just overly burnt bread and the lighting, but something strange was going on with this item; it just did not taste good, and the cheese tasted like toilet water! +a Fresh Spinach deep dish - the pizza seemed to not have come out piping out - it had the string pull, but the pizza was lukewarm as best, and it does get cold quickly, regardless of how quickly you eat your slice; the cheese could have been more melty Service was friendly, and we were checked in constantly throughout; it was to the point where it's like, come on, let us enjoy catching up. We felt as they were trying to turn over the table, but it wasn't a busy night. The booth seating is also extremely tight; the seating are movable, and I feel as if they try to pack as much of these in this part of the dining area and the normal chair-and-table would have been more comfortable. No dice, Giordano's - don't think I'll be visiting you anymore during my Chicago visits! +avoid the sampler +pizza is not piping hot +pressured service +plenty of parking in the private lot

    Deep dish Pizza is the best! Always cooked perfectly with no uncooked dough perfect every time, service was slow

    I've been coming here for years and I've always had a great experience! The food is always delicious, the staff are super friendly, and the restaurant is always clean! My favorite is coming during lunchtime and getting their lunch combo!

    Awful.

    What happened to Giordanos?? Best ever pizza?? Typically, if I wanted Giordanos, I would try the downtown or Rosemont location which have always been consistently delicious. Honestly, I prefer authentic Chicago tavern style pizza from old school pizza places downtown. Sadly, I was in the suburbs but still happy when I saw Giordanos. And due to a keto healthy kick, I do not have pizza often. When I do, I savor it. This particular day, my keto diet didn't suffer. The pizza was awful. I know, is any pizza bad? Usually I would say no. But honestly it wasn't edible. It was truly the worst pizza I have ever had. I feel a little ripped off even. Like taking money and just throwing it away. Which in this economy isn't ideal. Anyway, go to a different location or a different place all together. Or try it and report back- maybe it was an off day. You will see from the photos it looks like they ran out of ingredients. The cheese is usually the best part. Not this time. Sparse cheese on a cheese pizza. Sauce only in the middle towards one side. And I did order the Caesar side salad, always crunchy romaine- this salad was iceberg. A small container off cut up iceberg lettuce- sans the usually amazing parm.

    I have been eating here for well over 40 years, so its about time to review. 5 stars consistantly, I highly recommend. I have never had a bad experience. I have to say, when ordering online, it never seems to be correct. I've ordered stuffed with half cheese and half mushroom, onion, green pepper and it always seems to be full toppings on the whole thing not half cheese. Whenever this happened, I spoke to management and they were always accommodating and made it right. I now only order on the phone. I've gotten only their pizzas and calamari. I always get, and prefer their stuffed pizza over all, but their thin and extra thin are good also. Cheesy, delicious, goodness consistantly. Calamari was also good, but I wish they had half orders. Thanks Giordanos for the 100 % goodness.

    COVID-19 UPDATED 5/13/21 Only 6 people to a table at a time...You can sit 2 tables of 6 together but with a 3 foot gap between tables. Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes are given in packet form per request. No paper menus, only digital menus. Had the Chicago Special Deep Dish and Thin Crust, and they were both amazing! Also had calamari and a Caesar salad which fed 8 of us with 2 slices of deep dish and 10 slices of thin crust left over.

    Anthony Bourdain claimed that Burt's Place was the only deep dish pizza he ever loved…read more This was my second time here. I came last year for my birthday in the fall, and my sister loved the pizza so much she wanted to go for her birthday this past July. The patio is great to have during the summer because they can seat a lot more people, and even on a Tuesday evening their patio was packed. My birthday was on a Sunday last year, and we had no problem getting a table for 7 inside around 6pm. I actually preferred sitting inside. Something about eating deep dish pizza during the fall inside of a cozy dark restaurant just made the experience even better for me. I've been to Pequod's about three times already over the past few years, and it is definitely one of my favorite pizza's in Chicago. Until last year, I was unaware that Burt's Place was the original before Pequod's that started the caramelized crust. I love the caramelized crust, but it is definitely an acquired taste and some people will claim it just tastes burnt (they don't get it). Comparing this pizza to Pequod's, this one seems much more thinner and less doughy. It might be because we got a large, so the dough was just spread out more thin. I do wish I came here and tried this pizza when Burt was alive because many reviews online claim that the quality has gone down or it just doesn't taste the same. Either way, it's an iconic pizza shop that everyone should try at least once!

Waitress was on top of her game and got drinks and order going quickly. Crispy edge, deep dish pizza that was very good. There was a good ratio of sauce to bread and the toppings were very fresh. Friend had the chicken tenders and the jalepeno poppers. Honestly, the tray of fries as an appetizer was a great decision! We were not rushed along- and allowed to sit and chat after dinner. It was a great night with great food! Definitely check out this cute neighborhood spot!

Good food takes time, so be sure to call ahead with your order so you aren't waiting in restaurant for your meal to bring home. A benefit of take out from Banaby's: the slices are thin and cut small so they are perfect for snacking on the car ride home. Cheese: greasy and crispy, more flavorful than other pizzas (don't ask me how, it just is) Sauce: not overwhelming and the perfect amount, because I would hate to have my crispy dough drenched in sauce Crust: perfect undercarriage with a crispy cornmeal crust, who can say no to thin crust? If you travel to Chicago and are not a fan of deep dish, then Banaby's MUST be your go-to spot to try.
