Always a pleasure and treat when we can have Giordanos deep dish pizza (since we no longer live in Chgo). Happy to turn on some friends to Giordanos who had never experienced this classic. Service was great, both the tavern style (thin crust) and deep dish pizza were awesome! Also, dont sleep on the bruschetta or calarmi appetizers. read more

I don't usually leave reviews, but this experience deserved one. The attention to detail was unmatched, and I felt genuinely taken care of. 10/10. read more

The salad was delicious. I'm super special so I kinda mixed the Greek and House subtracting everything but lettuce, spring mix, onions and cucumbers. I forgot to keep the cheese. I did survive. They DO NOT have SWEET TEA, they have sweetened tea. I won't hold that against them. I love South Carolina Sweet Tea and it didn't hit the spot. Unfortunately, we are going to lose a star for service. I know the pizza take forever However please check on your guests. I didn't like the tea. I ate the salad and I think I'm choking on a leaf deep down but I have nothing to drink. Imagine, served a salad I've consumed and wrote this post without seeing anyone. I'm waiting for the pizza in great anticipation as I am a Chicago Native and I know pizza!!! The pizza was on point, excellent. I highly recommend just be prepared for the service. They are great they just aren't as attractive. Plan to ask for everything when they stop by. It was a great experience read more

Slightly different from Giordannos in Chicago, but can't really identify why, so maybe it's just in my head. Either way, service was very good and so was "the special" and the house salad. Interior was fine, not super special and the music was pretty loud which made diners loud, trying to talk over it. That said, not so loud that I was annoyed. Looks like they have a decent outdoor dining area, but for me, it was too cold to check it out. read more

My husband was craving Chicago deep dish pizza, and Giordano's seemed like the best choice in Orlando. I have been to Giordano's in Chicago and loved the deep dish pizza. The restaurant is in an unassuming plaza. Honestly, I didn't pay much attention to it before and didn't know they had more locations in Orlando. When we got there, it was packed, but the wait time wasn't too bad. The main dining area is tight, but they also have a more casual section on the side. I preferred the main dining area as it has the décor and feels cozy. We went there with a mission to try the Chicago Classic Deep Dish. Our waitress mentioned it takes 45 minutes for the deep dish pizza, which I remembered when I went to Giordano's in Chicago. While we waited, we ordered some appetizers, including mozzarella triangles and garlic parmesan fries. Of those two, my favorite was the mozzarella triangles. Our deep-dish pizza was right on time and worth the wait. The Chicago Classic Deep Dish has pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers, and onions. The crust was crispy, and the filling had the right amount of sauce and cheese. We loved it! We ordered the small size which serves 2-3 people ($27.25). The portion was right and we even took the last piece home. Other items on their menu include Giordano's "Tavern-Style" Thin Crust, pasta, salads, and sandwiches. Service was excellent, too; even though it was a busy night, our waitress kept checking on us and updating us on the timing of our deep-dish pizza. Waiting 45 minutes for food sounds like a lot, but it wasn't too bad. read more

The food was very good. The service was good, but the wait for the food was a little long. The waiter warned me that it was gonna take about 35 minutes for my pizza, so that more than made up for the inconvenience. The ambience was lacking, but it was very reasonable so we let that one slide. read more

Omg. Husband and I wanted some last minute pizza. We were staying at a Disney hotel and needed some carbs and salt before our Marathon the next day. Landed here and it was PERFECT! TONS of food (you can't get this much food for this price in Disney) and close enough to our hotel to not be a pain to get to. We got a medium and ate all but two pieces which we saved for breakfast the next day. 10/10 would recommend this place. Quality was fantastic! We ordered carry out and just brought it to our hotel to eat. read more

Giordano's - Deep dish Meat - Pizza Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This was the most massive pizza I've had in my life! What a glorious experience! Must try! . Chicago Classic- Deep Dish has pepperoni, mushrooms, green bell peppers, and onions. Was mind-blowingly delicious with melting cheese, perfectly cooked veggies, and cannot forget to mention the pepperoni. The small size feeds 2-3 people. I have a small appetite so I got full off 1.5 slices. This pizza lasted 2-3 meals for us when we incorporated a salad along with the pizza. Loved this idea! Ordered carryout and they provided plates. We asked for parmesan cheese and peppers, we only received one of each, so double check your order if there's enough for your party before leaving. This pizza is dense so you'll feel the weight of it when you carry it. It'll get y'all excited to eat for sure. Restaurant looked massive and clean with many indoor seats. No outdoor seating. Looked like a fun place to be. I called in the order and they said it would be ready in 40 minutes. To me that is a long wait, but sounds like they make it fresh. Not sure how long you'd wait if you dine in. read more

I'm from Chicago so when I drove by Giordano's in Orlando, I made a quick U-turn back to the restaurant. I'm a restaurant snob so I wasn't exactly pleased with the curb appeal. The inside of the restaurant was average, a little dark, and nothing extravagant, but the pizza was delicious and did not disappoint! I will definitely go back to this restaurant for Chicago style pizza, I highly recommend! read more

We can't comment on the pizza this time the quality is down. The prices are up. food doesn't compare with that you used get used to get. The garlic fries used to be buttery but now it's just a shake topped mess. The Italiano salad was a joke with the amount served was not worth $15. The Alfredo was watered down with tasteless blanched chicken and broccoli that seemed like it was added straight from a microwave steamed bag with no flavor. Even though the service was adequate we will not be coming back. Shame because this used to be a favorite for our family. read more

As a first time patron of this establishment, my honest opinion is the food and service was very basic. We ordered the Double Pepperoni Original Crust Pizza. We were told it would take about 30 minutes to cook and I was fine with that. When the pizza came out, it was very runny and over powered by the sauce and had minimum Cheese and Pepperoni.. We literally had to eat it with a spoon. Our waitress only came to our table to Take Our Order and to Bring Us Our Check. Not even one refill on our drinks. Overall that atmosphere was ok and the hostess was pleasant. read more

Best deep dish in Orlando! Don't bother ordering anything else on the menu. Just pick two toppings you like and get the large. I think the whole pizza was 5 pounds. A whole inch of cheese on the inside. Lots of meat. Crunchy bottom. Also their gluten free pizza had a great crust and had a ton of cheese. It's pricey pizza but is worth the price. Delivery was only 10 minutes late from estimated time but he was very friendly. read more

I was here on vacation, wanted pizza, I never had deep dish pizza, so I wanted to try it out. It was night time when I got to the restaurant. It was packed, the inside gave me city vibes like New York, Chicago, Philadelphia. I ordered a large pizza. I had no idea how big deep dishes were, I only needed one slice . It was so delicious, so much going on in that one slice read more

Got a small thin crust (even though they're known for deep crust) it was ok but nothing I'd go back for. I also had a coupon for free cheesy breadsticks, which I wouldn't recommend. The cheese used was kind of odd and it had a weird aftertaste. It was pretty busy inside so maybe their deep dish is where it's at, but what I had I wouldn't get again. read more

Was in Oralando for vacation and found this pizza place close to our hotel. We were a party of 25 and they sat us down quickly and had our food out pretty fast. The waiter was a gentleman but he was so sweet and attentive. Was able to take care of all of us. The pizza was really delicious we had the meat on meat, pepperoni, bbq and veggie one. With some sampler plates. Its a cute location insice nicely looking Nice ambiance if ever in the area stop by. read more

Wow!!! To compare this to New York style pizza is not meaningful- they are independent personalities. This crust is buttery and flaky similar to a biscuit. Although it is tough to eat more than a slice or two, the meat adds such great value to the pie. Giordano's is such a treat! read more

If you like the deep pizza this is the place! I prefer the thin crusty! But overall was good!

I have never had Chicago style pizza so we stopped tonight. OMG! Fantastic!! The pizza was amazing. The staff was great & the Calamari was the best I have ever had!! Not greasy, fried perfectly & no tentacles on the plate!! Would come back just for it!! read more

When you first walk in, you can tell the place is old. This location had that old home smell. The inside looks outdated and could really use some remodeling or updates. I was greeted with a smiley face right away and given a menu to review. There was no wait to get seated. The waiter answered any question I had. You can order half & half. This is great. This allows you a chance to try two different styles of pizzas. I got "The special" & the meat & more meat. I was told the pizza would take 45 min. Which was fine with me. When the pizza arrived you could tell it was huge. In my opinion, this is what pizza should always look. The cheese pull was awesome, but the pizza itself was the true star. There's nothing outdated about this pizza. For a large pizza it will cost you about $55. Worth it to me. You can feed a family of 4 easily with that pizza. The Special was good. Just prepare for a little more liquid due to the veggies in this pizza. As far as the meat & more meat pizza. It was the best one to me. The spices from the meat matches well it the cheese. Really good pizza overall. Come hungry, enjoy the wait & devour the pizza. read more

Oh my goodness... we were exhausted after a day in Universal Studios and were looking for a late night dinner. This spot was open until 11pm and had delivery. Let me tell you, this had the BEST gluten free pizza I have ever eaten. Then my friends had a regular meat on meat thin crusts and said it was probably the best pizza they have ever had as well. This is a Chicago style but we both ordered the thin crust version. My pepperoni were nestled under a massive layer of cheese and it was epic! I can't wait to go to sleep and eat more for breakfast! Support this business over some gross chain delivery, you will not be disappointed! Happy eating! read more

This was an awful experience. One of the worst I have had in a long time actually. We ordered the appetizer sampler which was extremely average and tasted like everything was just reheated in the microwave from frozen but that's okay- I expect that I guess. We were very excited about the pizza and waited the 40 mins for it. I love deep dish pizza. When it came and I started eating it I thought the top layer of it was cheese because of the texture. But as I looked at it more and tasted it I realized that it was completely raw dough. I showed the waitress it and she confirmed that it was supposed to be crust and not cheese and said some nonsense about how when the cooked dough comes in contact with the cheese and vegetables on the pizza it becomes doughy like that. This was complete dough. It tasted like raw dough and had the texture of melted cheese. It was covering the whole pizza. It was inedible and awful. The waitress just walked away and did nothing to try and fix it (give us a refund or offer to cook the pizza longer or anything). So we just completely wasted that time and money. Also I should add that even if the pizza hadn't been raw there was still no flavor to it so I'm not sure what that's about. Overall a very bad experience. I mean it doesn't get worse than the food being raw and unsafe to eat. read more

We ate hear for lunch on a Sunday. There was no wait and plenty of tables open. Our friends are from Chicago but now live near Tampa (no Giordano's nearby) so they wanted a deep dish pizza to go. They ordered their to go pizza as soon as we sat down because they knew how long it takes to prepare. I mentioned about them selling frozen deep dish but they wanted a hot one to go. The salad and extra thin crust pizzas came out pretty fast, maybe 15-20 minutes. Our server was great. The extra thin crust is the way to go if you're watching your carb intake. Keep an eye out around Black Friday for gift card deals. read more

After waiting forever which is common for this pizza I received a semi raw pizza that didn't look anything like the real pizza. I'm from Chicago!!!! I send it back with a few chosen words. The waiter returned to say the owner said they would cook another one. I refused to accept his offer. The final offer was to pay for the wine we ordered. I became furious and as I walked to pay I asked for the owner who never showed up. Remember it's a thick pizza, cheese, sausage and topped with pizza sauce. Look at the junk I got! read more

Pizza was a little disappointing! Being that I have been to famous deep dish pizzerias in Chicago. I guess my expectations were for it to be the same as Chicago. I ordered it for delivery. Woman I spoke to on the phone was very nice & friendly on the phone. I asked for utensils & paper plates(I was in a hotel in Kissimmee on vacay)She sent me a lot. I ordered a medium deep dish pie w/ half cheese & half meatballs. I liked that the meatballs were underneath the cheese.I wouldn't know how the ambience was b/c I did a delivery. Driver was friendly! read more

What can you say about Giordano's? I grew up about an hour outside of Chicago, so I know the deep dish scene pretty well. This is my favorite of the chains. If you have never had Chicago pizza, it is unlike anything you will find anywhere else. Of the big 3 (Chi, NY, Det), this is my favorite kind. This review is about this location though, not a review of the pizza style in general. The location is great. Easy to get to, free parking, friendly staff, clean inside, food done properly, and pricing you'd expect. We go there about an hour before close and were concerned we couldn't get a table because Chi pizza takes a while to cook, but they seated us without question and took our order. The pizza and mozz sticks were on par with what you would find in Chicago. Be prepared to wait because the pizza takes about 45 min to cook, but it is well worth the wait. Great location. Will be back for sure. read more

Best Chicago style pizza in Florida. The real thing. I drive 1 hour and 15 minutes to get here.

Early Dinner 3:30pm. Pleasantly greeted by hosts and other staff. The dinning area was neat and clean The restrooms are a little dated but they where clean. Food was Hot - Chicago Beef and Parmesan cheese fries. & Large Deep Dish was served for dinner. Server was very attentive to the needs of the Table. There are 2 other restaurants in close proximity of this location. read more

I am visiting Orlando at a trade show and staying at a nearby hotel near Giordano's I decided to eat in my hotel room tonight and I wanted to order something simple as a take out item - a toasted Italian sandwich. Thinking it would be just a decent and filling sandwich, I was completely shocked at how extremely good this sandwich was. I'm very picky about rating any food I eat so I'm posting this review because this particular sandwich surpassed most every sandwich I normally buy from sandwich shops in my native San Diego. Well done! read more

Service was great until the bill arrived. We ordered two specials asking for two additional toppings. We understood that the additional toppings would be added to the special price. When bill arrived we were charged regular price for the salad and pizza which was twice the amount of the special. The menu does not say no add ons or substitutions. We spoke with manager who got frustrated gave us free toppings but continued to charge full price, set the credit card payment scanner down and just walked off with no further discussion. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!!!! Pizza was ehhh. read more

Giordano's - Sausage thin crust pizza. Not good. - Pizza Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Took the kids here for their first Chicago style pizza. Parking was easy in the private lot and we were glad we arrived early as there was space to be seated quickly. Word to the wise- either order lots of apps or be prepared to wait if you're ordering the stuffed pizza. While they do advise you while ordering, it still takes 45 minutes to prepare. My advice would be to know what kind of pizza you want so you can order it with your drinks. I had a side salad while waiting and it was pretty good. The lemon dressing was great! One slice of stuffed pizza was MORE than enough. We had plenty to spare for leftovers. read more

I really liked the crust and overall flavor, but the pizza could've used a bit more sauce. It felt a little dry toward the edges. Still good though I'll be back to try other flavors! read more

We've been here a couple times in the past and it was great. Our most recent visit in September 2023 was not like it used to be. Prices are definitely inflated now.
