Very unique pizza do not get this kind up in Northeast New York. The sausage has great flavor of the cheese is high-quality. I always try to grab one of these pizzas when I am down in Orlando.

Great pizzas as always - my husband's from Chicago. I ran into a sketchy situation this time. We needed to use the rest of our gift card. Unless your gift card is higher than your order value, you can't use a gift card for payment through the app. So I had to order in person. I asked for 2 frozen sausage deep dish and 2 frozen pepperoni deep dish. The order total came out $10 more than when I just tried to order through the app, $103 versus $93. I noticed they were being rung up as small sausage and small pepperoni and not frozen. I asked if the price for frozen was different. I had to show my cart from the app before it was adjusted to frozen pizzas and the correct price. Not sure if this was an honest mistake or something they do regularly. Then there was an issue with my gift card, not going through. I had just checked the value through their website and it was $76.26. They asked me how much was on my gift card and I told them. They tried to ring it up as $76 then $75. Neither worked. I was in the process of putting my gift card number into their website to show them how much was on it. Somehow he got it to go through with the full value after multiple attempts. They gave us some good instructions on heating it this time by letting it sit out at room temperature for one hour first. We followed the prior instructions for our last order (just bake the pizza) and it was still frozen in the center when we took it out. The crust was also pretty dark by the time the center was edible.

I was on a business trip to Chicago, and that's when I first discovered Giordano's. When I came back home from that trip, I was raving about how great my experience was and couldn't wait to take my wife there. Well, imagine my surprise when I found out there was a Giordano's close to our hotel!!!! Without any hesitation, I took my wife here to experience a Chicago style deep dish pizza and who better than Giordano's? Surprisingly, it was a bit slow and we were seated immediately. It was nice and toasty out, so we refreshed ourselves with some water and started off with their Mozzarella Triangles. Perfectly golden and fried, these were tasty little polygons!! Unique in the sense I've never seen them in this shape before. Now onto the main course! We ordered The Special 10" deep dish and it was more than plentiful for the two of us. So much so we were able to take several slices back to the hotel. Each slice felt like it weighed about 1.5 lbs- you'll leave feeling very satisfied and full. The pizza was easily about two inches thick and full of robustness and flavor. Every bite was loaded with meats, veggies, and sauce, but the pièce de résistance for me is the crust!! Absolutely love the snap of the crust on the bottom, meaning it's crispy just enough. And the buttery goodness on the outer crust is sublime. Every bite! Thank you to the staff for the experience and for an opportunity to share greatness with my wife!! As always, Enjoy & EAT PIZZA!!

We Stopped in for lunch by recommendation from a colleague, they Chicago style so I was excited to try them. Was seated right away since it was kind of early. We ordered 2 Pies, One Sausage and one Pepperoni with some veggies, I don't really know what they added to it because I wasn't paying attention when they ordered lol The Sausage was my favorite, they were both thin crust, guess that's the Chicagoan way. But I loved the crust, both were really flavorful and I liked them. Took a while to get them so don't be in a rush when guy come in, about 40mins I'd say. Great for family and large groups.

This was my first time trying Chicago-style pizza, so I don't have anything to compare it to, but WOW I was not expecting it to taste this light and fresh. For something stuffed with cheese and filling, it didn't feel heavy or oily. I was genuinely amazed. There was a good five minutes of silence when the food came out because my whole party was just stuffing our faces. My party of five ordered two medium pies: the Special and the Margherita with pepperoni. Everyone ate 2-4 slices each. I, unfortunately, had to tap out after two slices. You can't go wrong with either pies.

We were surprised to see that Orlando had a Giordano's, so we had to get our deep dish fix. The staff were great at answering food and drink questions, and were friendly. We started with cheesy garlic bread that comes with marinara. It was ok. Could have used more cheese and some seasoning. The sauce was good, and enough for us. We ordered a double pepperoni with a side of pizza sauce. It was great! The crust was baked perfectly, with plenty of pepperoni, cheese, and sauce on top. I had a couple of old fashions, which were good. They are made with Makers Mark, so they are sweet. The place has seats inside and out, and was packed on the Friday evening that we visited, but the staff did a great job keeping up. If we're down that way again, we'll visit them for sure.

Outstanding food and outstanding service from our server Eric!! We are staying at a nearby hotel and the concierge recommended this restaurant to us for the classic deep dish Chicago style pizza. We ordered The Special for the meat eaters at the table and I ordered the small personal deep dish with green peppers and mushrooms. Both pizzas were outstanding! We also ordered the calamari which featured fried lemons and banana peppers. It was delicious! My Greek salad was generous and full of fresh vegetables and topped with feta cheese and lemon vinaigrette. Our pitcher of sangria was a great deal and paired perfectly with our food! We are looking forward to the cannoli for dessert!!

If you've never had real Chicago deep dish pizza, it's life-changing. I'm a huge pizza lover and omg it really does live up to the hype. I've had Giordano's before when I lived in a different state, but I had no idea we had one in Orlando! This made my day! I was staying at the Fairfield hotel, and Giordano's is less than a five minute walk away and so convenient. I ordered the personal deep dish and it was ready in about a half hour. It was just as perfectly cheesy as I remember, with some of the best sauce I've ever had on pizza. My only negative is that I asked for utensils and they said it was in the bag. When I got back to my hotel, the only thing in there were packets of red pepper. Eating deep dish pizza in a hotel with no utensils was really difficult and kind of a buzzkill. But still. I've had both Giordano's and Lou Malnati's, and I'm firmly on the Giordano's side of the debate.

Alice Z.

Tried both thin crust and deep dish. And definitely satisfied my pizza take out craving! Quick, delicious, good topping to crust ratio, and reliable

Hands down my favorite pizza joint in Chicago is Giordanos! Every time we visit, i always bring a pizza back. We ordered the super veggie deep dish and it was really good, it just felt like it had too much black pepper or something spicy on it for some reason. Other than that, it was the same great pizza we get in Chicago. The service wasn't great, our waitress forgot about our waters and didnt really check on us. I might check out another location in town to see if it is any different.

Who doesn't love Pizza Night at least once a month? Not very many and that led me and hubby to try the deep dish experience. We typically opt for traditional pizza. We are local, so we ordered take out. What an A++ experience. We ordered a large deep dish, build your own. We had no idea how hearty a pizza like this would be. We were a little taken back by the price, but 4 meals worth of food took that price worry away. When we picked up the pizza we found the restaurant clean and the attendant friendly and very helpful with questions. The food taste and quality was outstanding. I did like that we brought the food home, as I could see it would get cold quickly if dining in. Hint - if you get it to go, the leftovers freeze well and taste great when thawed and re heated. Also, hint - for two people a small or medium at tops is all you need for deep dish, unless you want leftovers. So glad we found a new place to enjoy. Now a sentimental story - my daughter worked there for a little while in high school and met her fiance' there, as he worked there as well. She worked there a short time so we never ate there during the time she worked there.

So my wife and I are vacationing in Orlando and had just checked in at our hotel when we got the hunger pains and we missed this restaurant when we went to Chicago so there we go on our way. We started off with The Greek Salad which was yummy and i normally am not a fan of vinaigrette but this was a lemon one and it was very tasty and we ordered a medium Meats and More Meats Deep Dish pizza. We were informed it would be a 45 minute wait and we were ok with it. When it came, it was piping hot and cheesy and it was good. Both my wife and I compared it to Pequod's pizza that we visited in Chicago, and they are both good in their own ways. Main difference was Pequod's served their pizza in the pie pan and the crust is layered in cheese and Giordano's is served on a tin pizza plate. It was yummy and we enjoyed it but it was a little dry. Only downside was I also ordered a Bloody Mary she it was blah, had no taste and wasn't spicy at all and when I asked for some Tabasco to spice it up so they had was Cholula! Come on man!!!!

Sam K.

Tastes just like the one in Chicago and fills in the void between my trips to Pequods. The service is fine but warning to those who have never ordered deep dish, it takes a long time (30-40 mins), so we usually call ahead and we've even taking it to-go. The ambiance is fine, something you would expect from an pseudo-Italian restaurant

First meal here after a long day flight.. was super excited but left disappointed. It wasn't the service or the ambiance, but it was the pizza dough. The dough itself is a staple to any pizza and especially for deep dish! The crust lacked the dough feeling of a pizza, instead it was just a thin crust, super thin. FYI deep dish pizza takes 40-45min. It could the restaurant's style, just wasn't what I expected. read more

Horrible experience please do not come to this location! Service is horrible!!! Placed a phone order to go, we knew the deep dish was going to take long but later our party wanted to add another order of spaghetti so I called back and asked how much longer for the pizza so he went to check and he said the pizza ticket had never printed and we're going to put a rush on it. When we arrive we are waiting at the door with no one in sight .. someone finally guides us to the take out counter and says someone will help us there . We are waiting for several minutes with multiple employees walking back and forth, a lady even uses the register right in front of us and NOT ONE PERSON ACKNOWLEDGES WE WERE THERE. I finally say "excuse me?" To 2 of the workers in front of us neither of them look up at us and as one is walking around the counter I say "excuse me?" Again to him as he passes right in front of me and he yells "I'm working!" And continues to look down without even making eye contact with me I was flabbergasted!! Weirdest experience ever at a restaurant . I turn around and see a new employee there and ask again! And turns around with airpods and say will get someone with a little smirk on his face ..a new gentleman comes out to the register as begins with the second order of spaghetti won't have a lot of meat sauce because the my ran out mind you they close at 11 and it was only 9pm! The pizza was nice and fresh but the spaghetti was cold with not enough sauce because I'm sure it was packed and sitting before out pizza with even in the oven . Even though the pizza was good the experience in that restaurant was so strange I will never be going back . We are from California and it's a shame we encounter these types of experiences at places we enjoy So disappointing!! read more

I love deep dish pizzzaaaa!! Oh man you can't go wrong with this stuff. I bought the 3 topping personal size pizza. Chicken, bacon and mushrooms. The personal size was filling af. Super rich and flavorful. I'd highly recommend ordering this combo. The chicken is cooked to perfection and stuffed inside with mushrooms. Bacon is layered on top and crispy in every bite. I'd go back hundred times more if eating pizza everyday was healthy. Friendly staff and parking is right outside. The restaurant looked busy as expected. read more

First, when we walked in the guy seating people said there would be a short wait they were short staffed and he was very professional about it we told him we understood so we sat in the waiting seats. While waiting another group of 4 came in and were told the same. We were seated at a table a girl came over to take our drink order returned with drinks and we ordered a small pizza she said it would be like 25 min. we said no problem. The group after us was seated and had the same server, finally our pizza came someone else brought it. While we weee eating it we wanted more sauce but couldn't find our server so we waved down someone else lady came over we explained we didn't know where our serve is but we need some sauce, she said no problem. It took a little while for the sauce, the pizza was a little dry it didn't have very much on it. So I finally saw our server and she was taking care of the table that came in after us. So she finally come over and asked is everything ok, I said NO she says well I have a table of 15 and other tables. We didn't see any other large groups. I said please bring the check she brings it and I ask why is tea 2 different prices she tells me she just works here she doesn't know the prices. Then say are you going to give me your payment I'm busy. She was extremely rude all the other servers were able to take care of there tables without any issues. And the other 3 servers were busting their ass working hard. Very disappointing read more

Pizza is something that is always close to my heart while it slowly kills it at the same time lol! Coming here it was all about that deep dish as that just sounded amazing and let me say the pizza was good except for the crust as it just tasted like a flavorless cracker but the rest of the pizza was yummy with the cheese and sauce having a nice flavor to them as well as the pepperoni and sausage making for some yummy toppings especially when mixed with the jalapeños! Our service was really good in the beginning but right after our food was delivered the service went the other way and it was us flagging down associates for anything that we needed as our server never came back to check on us and then took even longer to come back at the end for our check making for some mediocre service all around. We heard about this establishment from one of the magazines that we picked up as it came with a coupon for free garlic cheese bread so that was definitely a plus as it was pretty good and had a nice sauce to dunk it into! Overall the pizza here wasn't the best I've ever had but it wasn't the worst like I doubt I'll come back as with soo many places in the area it just didn't say Heyy Rachel come back! read more

The service stinks. Got takeout. 1st time they gave me 2 out of 7 items. After telling them I'm missing items, I got 3 more items. Then after checking, I realized I'm missing 2 more items. All on the receipt which I'm paying for, but not handed to me. This is after I came the night before and their system was down. Here's the food review: Mediocre at best. Pizza tasted like cardboard. Also extremely salty. Sauce had a weird taste. And the Chicago beef sandwich was horrible. Looked like a child put it together. Horrible place, stay away. In a town where there's a ton of excellent pizza shops, don't waste your time or money on this junk. read more

Being from Chicago its great to have some hometown pizza up the road. We don't go too often because it tends to be a bit pricey for pizza but it's always so worth it. This time we had ordered a thin crust pizza and a stuffed pizza. This always works great because the stuffed takes longer than the thin one. We also ordered a family size salad. It had a tart lemon dressing on it. It was plenty for 5 of us to have full plates and some leftover. When the pizzas arrived they had brought out to thin crust pizzas. Within seconds our phenomenal server came over and said I am so sorry they made the wrong pizza. You can keep this one and we are going to make you a stuffed one that you can take home or eat here whatever you prefer. (Comped she said). I was thinking we would be paying for the one thing and one stuffed but instead they charged us for two thin which is a big savings. Excellent, proactive service. I am so impressed. We sat in the bar area and our server had several tables and I think she was also the bartender. But she was on it. Everyone in the whole section never had an empty drink she would be sure to bring everyone refills. Of course it always makes us happy to see all the Chicago memorabilia on the walls. My boys who were born and raised here love seeing it all and hearing about what things are. Can't wait to go back soon. read more

Hi Yelpmate. Hope all of you are well, swell, and never smell. Well not smelling bad. Weather here in Florida is better than agreeable, it's saweet. Loving this sunshine state. So. Decided to sample some pizza. This spot has Detroit style deep deep deepdish. Um, maybe too deep for my first trip here. Going for thin crust instead. So far the service is pretty darned good. Atmosphere is pretty laid back. Strangely enough, I'm in what's supposed to be an OG Italian pizzaria, but country music is bangin' out on the speakers. Not completely averse to country, but with a steakhouse, yes, a pizzaria? Notsomuch. One super plus? They proudly serve Pepsi products. Winner. That alone earned a star. TV screens throughout. Love it. For starters, complimentary cheesy breadsticks with gooey asiago parm mix, and warm marina for dipping. Was the best. Added a mixed green house salad. Fresh greens, not iceberg lettuce. Grated parm. This place is hitting on all cylinders. Did I mention Pepsi? They have it. Pizza has oodles of toppings. They pack on the meats and veggies. This was an excellent meal . Take care of yourselves. Love yourselves. Love your loved ones. Love those you don't know to love. Till next time, smile hard af. read more

I don't get really deep dish pizza often. I'm not sure why I love it so but I do. Giordanos is amazing. It was raining in Orlando and after a long drenched day at the outlets, I looked over at hubs and said...why don't we just go back to the hotel and order some food. He chose White Castle burgers and I went for the deep dish. When I ordered, they said it would be 1.5 hours and it was. I began drinking my citrus vodka and poof. 1.5 hours later....an amazing yet lukewarm pizza arrived. At this point, I really don't care. Threw that bad boy in the oven and voila!

Wow! What an awesome experience! Natalie was our server tonite. So pleasant, attentive, informative and accommodating! Went for dinner while on a brief visit in Orlando. Typical noisy pizza place, but not typical with the taste of the food! We started with Mozzarella Triangles, Cheesy Garlic Bread, and Traditional Chicken Wings. All were FANTASTIC! HIGHLY recommend the Mozzarella and wings! Then we ordered the deep dish pizzas. Natalie informed us when she first approached the table that it would be 35-40 minutes for a deep dish pizza if that's what we chose to order. Hubs and I got a medium Deep Dish Chicago Classic minus green peppers and added sausage. Our dinner companions ordered a small specialty deep dish pizza, toasts garlic on the entire pizza then half Canadian bacon and pineapple and half tomatoes and spinach. The garlic smelled amazing! I'd never had a Chicago style pizza and it was delicious! I could only eat 1 slice though, it's so much food in one slice. Our friends loved their pizza as well. Needless to say we have plenty of leftovers for lunch and probably dinner for tomorrow. Thank you Natalie for making our dinner SO enjoyable! read more

Satisfied our pizza craving! Amazing food and the service was excellent. They had chicken/and chicken sausage options which I appreciated, and their famous deep dish was tasty cheesy goodness (Chicago pizza is a must try for foodies atleast once). Portions are super fresh (the thin crust pizza came out sooner, the deep dish takes a bit longer but worth it). We also enjoyed the appetizers and house salad. read more

The Chicago style pizza was phenomenal! We have international guests who have never eaten this style of food before but they are total converts now!!! The service was superb the waitress could not do enough for us! There was not a crowd indoors and it was raining hard so it was quiet inside. We made the most noise. A thoroughly enjoyable evening and meal. Thank you to all there. read more

I used to like Giordano's and looked forward to getting Chicago deep dish in Florida. I don't know if my taste has changed or if they have gone downhill but I thought the crust was flavorless and seemed like it had been frozen. Our service at this location was also terrible. We showed up a little after 9 and the place was fairly empty. After we were seated we waited for at least 10 mins before anyone acknowledged us. Once someone finally came over to take our order it turns out she was the manager. We ordered a salad and a deep dish pizza. She let us know that the deep dish takes about 45 mins, which was fine. Shortly after ordering our actual server brought out our salad and introduced himself and said that he was given a large party in the back. After we finished with the salad he came back to clear our plates and I asked for a water since I had finished my lemonade and wanted to make sure I was all set for when the pizza came out. As I was afraid of, he disappeared. Another server brought our pizza out about 15 mins later, which was actually quicker than the 45 minute projection but I still had no drink. 5-10 mins later we were able to flag down our server and asked him for the water a second time. He apologized and brought it out shortly after. He then vanished again and didn't appear until a good 10-15 minutes after we had finished eating. We asked for a box and the check and sat there for another 10-15 until he finally had the host bring it to us. As I expected they did not apply the discount code I had given when we ordered so I had to send the check back to be adjusted. As we were about to leave our server showed up to apologize but it was too late. I always tip a minimum of 20% even with sub-par service but considering he didn't even do the bare minimum and prioritized his other large party over us I felt like the tip should reflect the effort. read more

The calamari was delicious, however was unpleasantly surprised when there was breaded fried lemon slices... weird & inedible.

Man was this bad!!!! I ordered a simple garlic bread and a deep dish with meatball & the word "underwhelming " does not come close to describing just how bad this meal was. First the garlic bread, if you could call it that because there was next to no garlic to be found. It was more like lightly buttered bread that had barely been completely toasted. There was no garlic flavor and if it wasn't for the decently tasting sauce, there is no reason for this to even exist. Continuing that theme, the pizza was not cooked well and was not cut all the way through, which would be fine if the outside of the crust around the edges was not already cracking off. The pizza was severely underdone and I ended up having to finish cooking the two slices I was able to put down in my own oven at home, which is not why I purchased this in the first place. If I wanted it as a take and bake I could've ordered that way. What they call meatball was wafer thin with no taste and resembled more like a flavorless pepperoni. I have had Giordano's in Chicago and it was so much better that I cannot even believe they are calling this by the same name. I spent over 30 years in the restaurant business, and I have not been more disappointed by a meal that I was excited for in more years than I care to remember and which had let me down completely in every way. If there was a way to give it zero stars I would. I wish I had my $35 back and sadly they lost somebody who would have been a very, very loyal customer if they had done things right. Fool me once... read more

After spending a day at a theme park and eating their options, it was nice to "clean" your body out with a good and healthy salad. Located on Sand Lake road near Publix and multiple eateries, this place has a wide selection of salads, sandwiches, and a limited selection of soups. Ambiance: 3.5 Stars The place was clean and has plentiful seating. Ranging from bar style or bench and tables. It is Deli style when ordering. Go to the back and select the type of salads, rice / couscous, soups, or sandwiches. There are pre-fixed options or you can build your own bowl. The eatery was clean, open and airy. Natural lighting was pleasant with the large front windows. It would have been a higher star rating for the ambiance, but the bathrooms needed some work. Though it was clean and roomy, there was no soap and limited toilet paper. Staff: 3.5 Stars Deli The employees were friendly and professional. Our server assisted us with questions and our selections. However, with the middle Eastern dialect and his ability to speak at a rate of the sound barrier, he had to repeat a few times for us to understand. Note: His patience was much appreciated. Food: 3.75 Stars We all chose several different salads. Three were pre-fixed and one was customized. 1. Shanghai Chicken Salad - 3.5 Stars Roasted chicken, edamame, scallions, almonds, cilantro, red cabbage, romaine perfectly paired with miso sesame vinaigrette Contains: Nuts, Soy I chosen the chopped romaine leaves as the base. It was light and flavorful from the dressing. However the chicken was a little bit overcooked and dry. The condiments were plentiful and fresh. Though it was good and had protein, I felt somewhat satisfied. I could eaten another bowl. 2. Chicken Shawarma - 4 Stars Blackened diced chicken thigh, kale, hummus, baba ghanoush, pickles, Israeli salad with Greek yogurt and tahini dressing. The based options are rice melody or couscous. I chose the rice melody. This bowl was more satisfying than the Shanghai Chicken Salad. The chicken tasted juicy, tender and flavorful. Choosing a thigh instead of breast brings the umami flavor of the chicken. The fresh veggies and tahini dressing was a perfect match for this option. 3. Santa Fe Salad - 3.5 Stars avocado, corn, local jack & cheddar, grape tomatoes, onions, tortilla chips, local kale, romaine, perfectly paired with chipotle-lime vinaigrette with a fresh lime squeeze. My sister added chicken thigh and avocado Chimichurri dressing. She said it was tasty. 4. South Beach - 3 Stars craisins, walnuts, green apples, blue cheese, local mesclun, romaine, perfectly paired with balsamic vinaigrette. My wife added chicken and swapped the walnuts for pumpkin seeds. The diced breast chicken was slightly dry and seasoning was lacking. The salad itself was good but wasn't too satisfying. 5. Customized Salad - 3.25 Stars My niece chose to customize her salad bowl. She chose chicken, romaine lettuces, shaved Parmesan cheese, cucumbers, edamame, and other veggie ingredients. She chose the avocado Chimichurri dressing which she liked. NOTE: they offer breakfast items and coffee. Selection of various drinks are from a deli refrigerator and they carry some Kombucha options too. Enjoy!

We got there on a Wednesday night around 5:30 and it was fairly steady, but there was still plenty of seating. They don't have many individual tables. A lot of their seating is open style seating so you could be at a table with multiple other people. They do have outdoor seating as well, but where the outdoor seating is located is also the side of sun sets on, so it definitely gets warm. I chose a pre-designed salad, the southwest salad. It's a mix of spring greens with corn kernels, black beans, tortilla strips, and a jalapeño avocado ranch dressing. I did opt to put chicken on mine so that does increase the price a little bit because you do have to pay for protein. Overall, the salad was really good very fresh and the chicken definitely tasted like it was cooked fresh as well. I will say the bathroom situation is a little odd as they are unisex bathrooms, but there are only two of them in the building. One of them each time I went up to try to use the restroom was consistently locked, so I'm not sure if it was out of order but it was locked each time I went up. On a busy day - having just two bathroom stalls seems like a design flaw. My biggest complaint is the parking situation. The small strip mall has not only this location but a coffee shop and a tea shop in it as well as a Pilates studio and the parking lot is just simply too small to support all of that business. I ended up parking on the side street because it was so much easier versus trying to fight to find a parking spot.

Those triple chocolate cake pops were so decadent. The strawberry and whipped cream were a nice pallet cleanser in between nibbles. All in all it was a great time with delicious drinks and bites.

One can argue it's still that way, but I didn't think that this place was as nice as it was! We parked at the parking garage and walked over instead of doing valet. Even at 9pm this area was very busy, including this restaurant. We had a reservation and were led to a half-table/half booth opposite the bar area which was pretty loud from the the music but we made due. The decor is very Hamptons, NY, beach house vibes. The bathrooms were nearby kinda. You had to walk down a long hall to them but once you get there they are gorgeous, spacious and clean. I got one drink, the Cucumber Elderflower (vodka, st. germain, cucumber, lemon, basil oil) and it was beautiful looking. It tasted great as well. I tried to go easy on eating but that was hard lol. I personally got the half dozen raw oysters, half east coast and half west coast. My fiance got the Crab and Shrimp Bruschetta to share ( lump crab and shrimp with sweet chili aioli on crispy ciabatta). Wow, these were so delicious and creamy, not to mention the generous portion of crab and shrimp topping. This can get messy if you don't pay attention. I had ordered the Seafood Gnocchi (pillowy asiago gnocchi with shrimp, calamari, and P.E.I. mussels in a calabrian chili tomato garlic sauce) and he got the Blackened Sea Bass ( barramundi with coconut rice, broccolini, mango salsa, and spicy mango purée ). A manager had delivered these to our table and was very excited to come back later to see what we thought about these dishes as they were fairly new. I loved my gnocchi! the sauce was not too spicy but brought the right amount of heat and kick to the dish. The seafood was fresh but cheese inside the gnocchi was the star. So good!

Indeed it was with an ample amount of tequila, watermelon, and lime. It was quite refreshing and sweet. I took the popular pork chop dish (24 dollars), which was a big chop glazed in brown butter. It was pretty tender and flavorful with the glaze, and the romesco sauce made the flavors even better. It did get a bit gamey at the end, but I still enjoyed it. The vegetable was a generous amount of various colored carrots, which were thick and a bit crunchy. It had to be cut with a knife, but it was delicious, that the equestrian in me had a happy whinny. For dessert, the suggested cheesecake (9 dollars) was a winner as it was moist and fluffy, providing a sweet end. I saved some for home to enjoy the next day. My bartender was friendly and helpful. She was pretty busy, but still had a cheerful and engaging attitude. I also love the vibe as it was social and busy. The music kept the rhythm going, and the dining area is quite open and big.

There were 6 of us in the group, so reserving ahead definitely helped. I actually had to do it twice because we reserved our spot before we left, and by the time we got there, it had timed out. I checked in again, and when we arrived, the host said, "I see you checked in twice." He told us the wait would probably be about 10 minutes, and we ended up waiting less than that before being seated. Considering it's at Icon Park and it was the night of a game, the place was packed with a lot of hustle and bustle. I was impressed that we were seated so quickly, especially with a party of 6. Our waiter, Matt, was amazing, and the food was amazing too. We ordered what felt like almost every appetizer on the menu. We had the Cali Roll Stack, Parmesan truffle fries, crispy Brussels sprouts, spinach dip, and the vegan Gardein wings. The Cali Roll Stack was probably my favorite appetizer. It was so good, and it was made with real crab. Most places use imitation crab, and Matt even told us that's why it's his favorite appetizer too. He was absolutely right. The Gardein wings were surprisingly good. We ordered the Korean chili garlic and Buffalo flavors, and if nobody had told me they were vegan, I probably wouldn't have known. I'd never had a soy-based wing before, but I would definitely order them again. The Parmesan truffle fries were exactly what you want them to be, and the crispy Brussels sprouts disappeared fast. At that point, it seemed like everyone else was tapped out, but somehow we still had room to eat. We ordered the lobster garlic noodles, and they were amazing. They didn't skimp on the lobster either. There were big chunks of real lobster throughout the dish, along with spinach and garlic noodles. Definitely one of my favorite entrées of the night. I also tried the Key Lime Cider, and I liked that they let me sample it before ordering. It ended up being really refreshing and exactly what I was looking for. For dessert, we shared the brownie cookie topped with ice cream. Oh my God. I don't even like chocolate like that, and it was amazing. Yard House has never really disappointed me, but this visit was especially good. I don't know if we were just starving or if the chef was having an exceptional night, but kudos and hats off to the kitchen. Parking was easy too. Levels 3 and 4 of the garage were free, so there was no need to pay or get anything validated. Overall, everything was smooth from start to finish. Great service, great food, easy parking, and a surprisingly short wait despite how busy it was. 10/10, highly recommend.

The staff kindly packed up our leftovers for us, but when I got home and opened the bag, I realized some of the untouched dishes weren't included. It was a bit of a bummer since we were looking forward to enjoying them later. Even with that hiccup, the food was outstanding and definitely worth the visit. If you're a dim sum lover, this place deserves a spot on your list!

We first asked our server about it, and she said it was good, but the beef was "a little chewy". Well, the pot contained mostly extremely tough tendon and inedible gristle. There was very little beef. And the sauce was nothing of interest, just a boring brown sauce. We would have mentioned this to the server, but she was largely absent. We were extremely disappointed. At $34, the dish should have been much better, and should have contained edible braised beef in an appealing sauce.

So, I decided to embark on a pizza adventure at this joint, and let me tell you, the pizza was in the realm of pretty darn good. I opted for the modern-age approach and ordered my pizza to go using their online portal - because who needs human interaction when you can virtually summon pizza, am I right? Miraculously, my pizza emerged from the oven right on schedule, as if it had its own GPS and an impeccable sense of punctuality. Upon unveiling the pizza, I was met with a sight that would make any pizza enthusiast do a happy dance - it looked like a pizza Picasso. Kudos to the pizza artists in the kitchen! Now, let's talk about the employees; they were as pleasant as a surprise day off on a Monday. However, I must air my grievance: we went for the chicken topping, hoping for a flavor explosion, but it turned out to be more of a flavor yawn. It was so bland; I thought my taste buds had taken an impromptu vacation. And here's the kicker - the pizza, while tasty, moonwalked into the realm of the slightly pricey. But hey, who can put a price on happiness, especially when it comes in the form of a well-crafted pizza pie? Despite the chicken's flavor hibernation and the pizza's daring price tag, I still gave it a thumbs up. Because let's face it, even mediocre pizza is still pizza, and pizza is always a win! read more

Review of Giordano's in Orlando Our experience at Giordano's in Orlando was incredibly disappointing. We were excited to try their famous deep-dish pizza, but it was a total letdown. The dough tasted frozen and lacked any resemblance to real pizza dough--it was dense, bland, and almost inedible. We ordered one deep dish and one thin crust pizza, hoping the latter would fare better, but unfortunately, it didn't. Both pizzas were so bad we couldn't even finish a single slice. Spending $80 on this meal felt like a complete waste, and we were left hungry and frustrated. Given its reputation, we expected so much more from Giordano's, but this visit was nothing short of horrible. We won't be returning. read more

Worked here for more than 11 years in Orlando and while I have my own business who is thriving now and doing what I love, I could've never been able to be where I am without the Disney stores owner and help of Chicago corporate. I love my Life now but I miss making customers so happy immediate gratification, we would get celebrities coming in, corporate was so helpful always, highest health department standards in the state of Florida as mentioned by top 2 people of Health department! We loved what we did, and happy Disney families we served or groups made it all Worth it! This place helps millions of people raise families and keep Others in business! read more

Terrible sauce less doughy pizza that was burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. Coming from Chicago I can say this is nothing like Chicago style deep dish. Horrible food and extremely overpriced. Avoid this place, there are multiple Chicago style pizza places with far better pizza. On a side note, we ordered spaghetti and they couldn't make spaghetti because apparently boiling pasta was too difficult and they called me to tell me they had to refund my order because they were not serving spaghetti. The photos are not even close to what we got. The photos make the food look amazing but what you get is not what was in the pictures. read more

The pizza is truly drool-worthy, but be prepared to wait! Their stuffed pizza is exceptional, the best I have ever had HANDS-DOWN. Also, it is super filling...I can usually devour half a pizza by myself, but I was full after one slice! That said, it takes 45 minutes to bake so either call ahead or be prepared to wait....and wait, and wait. The drink selection was lacking, soft-drinks but very limited wine and beer. Their sangria was meh. But let's face it, you are going in for the pizza, right? And you won't be disappointed! Only 5 minutes from Downtown Disney, so make the drive over if you are in the area. read more

Visited here for the 1st time on Sat 10 JAN 15. Ended up here after a horrible experience at a different location (separate review). Promptly greeted and seated. Promptly served. As anyone who has visited Giordano's knows, the pizza takes 40-45 minutes. As the appetizers were timed perfectly and were tasty, the 40 mins went quickly. Drinks were always full, server was very attentive without hovering and atmosphere was typical Giordano's. Pizza prices are a bit high but the food was excellent. read more

I went to try Giordano's because recently I went to chicago and had some deep dish pizza which was really good. Giordano's though, wasn't the same as what I had in Chicago. The issue I have with the place, is the long wait time- about an hour for a pizza, the high prices, and the lack of service. The pizza I did get, was Ok, but it really wasn't that great. The pizza in chicago is much better- these ones here in Florida just don't do it right. Though I ate it, it just wasn't that good. read more

Giordano's is a must-visit for deep-dish pizza lovers! The food was absolutely delicious--the pizza was flavorful, and worth every bite. The service with Mercedes was excellent, with her friendly and attentive demeanor made sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was relaxed and fun, with sports playing on the TVs, making it a great place to enjoy a meal with friends or family. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I'm from Chicago so this as real as Chicago pizza gets in Florida. The pizza tastes exactly the same as the Giordono's in Chicago which is absolutely spectacular. However, the service is extremely poor. I've been there twice in the past month and each time, I waited for more than ten minutes for the server to even greet us and ask us what we want to drink. Moreover, I waited forever to get a refill on my drink. The pizza is great, but the service is subpar. read more

We were so excited to try Giordano's after hearing great things, but what a disappointment! We ordered take-out, waited 25 minutes, and came home to a burned, overcooked pizza with a cardboard-like crust. Absolutely terrible. We were starving and didn't want to drive back and wait for a replacement. The only good part of our meal was my homemade Caesar salad. We even tipped! Definitely not worth the hype. read more

Horrible service! I live in the Chicago area and was staying at Disney and was somewhat excited to see Gios was here! Well, after 2 hours of waiting my food finally came to hotel! Pretty sure delivery driver was drunk, high, and whatever else! My food was cold when delivered! Needless to say I had a bite of pizza and left the rest in the hallway! Not paying for this meal! read more

Stuffed pizza at Giordano's was pretty good and different considering there's really no good pizza in Florida. But service seemed to lack. For such a huge restaurant, they just had 3 servers while we were there and they were struggling to handle all their tables at once. Besides the service though, I would say the pizza is great, but the pasta and salad dishes are horrible. read more

Customer service is horrible. Our waiter only came to the table to deliver our food and bill. Never came to make sure if everything was okay or if we needed anything. I would have to get up and ask someone to bring me things we needed. Only good thing was the cheesy garlic bread. Pizza was bland and tasteless (just dough loaded with lots of cheese). Not what we expected! read more

Food was mediocre. Salad was drenched in salad dressing with old wilted lettuce. Signature pizza dough was raw in the middle over cooked on the outside. Bland and not tasty. Not worth the calories. Run to nearest Olive Garden you'll get better Italian food. :( Waitress was very nice. She's from Morocco. read more

Chicago pizza: A true culinary marvel! The deep-dish style is a delightful explosion of flavors with layers of cheese, toppings, and rich tomato sauce. A must-try for pizza aficionados, but come hungry because it's as filling as it is delicious! read more
