    Soup of the Day
    Catherine Y.

    We have been to this Giordano's (I think it's the only location in Minnesota) several times. The latest visit was for dinner earlier tonight because our younger son requested that we go for dinner. Both of our boys LOVE the spaghetti and rigatoni pasta dishes. My husband and I have ordered the deep dish pizzas several times in the past. The restaurant was pretty busy since it was dinner time on a Friday night. Our sever was friendly, attentive and fairly busy since she had several tables she was taking care of. The restaurant is pretty spacious and have different options for seating - conducive for small and large group gatherings.

    Great atmosphere and awesome pizza! Thank you to our fantastic server, Shannon Love having the best Chicago deep dish here in Minneapolis

    Fried calamari

    Went here to get the hubby's deep dish craving satisfied. There was no wait but you can make a reservation online. First, if you plan on getting a deep dish, it is typically at least 45 mins to get it going. So don't come expecting to get it within 15 minutes. Of course you can order appetizers and other stuff on the side. It was decently busy and not enough server. We got seated but took about another 5 minutes before our server could come to our table. We knew the deep dish would take a long time so we wanted to order that right away before looking at other items. Calamari - it was not crispy so a little disappointed. Came with the typical marinara sauce. 3/5 Salad- normal type of salad. Nothing special but is a good side for a pizza. Parmesan fries- crispy, hot and yummy. Recommend especially if you have kids with. Margherita- well cooked and good. It balanced our meat and more meat deep dish. Not over cooked Meat&more meat- with a meat lover hubby, of course ww have to order a meaty pizza. We got the 14" to share for 4 people amongst other food. After 1 piece I was deep dished out. I'm not a big fan of deep dish but hubby loved it. Overall, except the first 5 mins, our server was awesome. Checked in on us often after. Food overall was good minus the calamari. Could be crispier?

    Very nice small Greek salad

    I stopped in for lunch and ordered a side salad and personal Deep Dish pizza. The salad was to tide me over for the time it takes the deep dish to bake. The Greek salad was excellent. Great dressing too. I really like their deep dish. Always order garlic on your pizza as it really makes it special. Service was friendly and efficient.

    Appetizer combo

    When it comes to deep dish pizza I always think of Giordanos! I love their deep dish even though it takes 30-40 minutes to make. We decided to get the appetizer combo and the triangle deep fried mozzarella was amazing with the sauce! Plus those chicken nuggets was delicious too with the ranch! We got the Chicago Classic with mushroom, green peppers, and marinara sauce! It was very cheesy and the crust was one I'll definitely eat. Our server was quick and prompt! It was quiet for a Monday but it's a wonderful place for big groups! There's plenty of light inside and lots of seating area!

    Yum!!! Thick Crispy flaky crust, awesome cheese pulls, flavorful sauce covering the top with pepperoni and crunchy green peppers!! Great dinner spot! Our server was so friendly and personable and it was a nice quiet Monday evening dinner. Thanks for a great meal!! I love seeing the pizza on the raised pizza stand!!

    I love this pizza place. It's open, there's always a place to sit, they have a small outdoor patio and the service has always been good. A true Chicago pizza place is about the crust and this crust is good. Order their deep dish right away as it will take 40 or so minutes to cook if your in a hurry. I order their cheese bread which is good but they tend to overcook it a little so ask for it not to bo overcooked. Their salads are good and hearty. So get one while your pizza cooks. Once your pizza arrives, you are transported to Chicago as they put that first slice in your plate with the cheese dripping off the pie giving you a true deep dish! Side note: I grade my bathrooms as a 5 Star Bougie (clean, pleasant, smells great, picked up, in order), 3 Star Basic (like home with the basics and equally as clean) or 1 star Bad (filthy, paper towels on the floor, sink is disgusting, smells like a toilet, etc) ... this gets a 1 star Bad! I will be back but they have a few things to work on!

    Spaghetti with House-Made Meat Sauce, Bolognese  - Family Platter (Serves 2 or More) and B.Y.O. Deep Dish Cheese (6" Personal)

    We went to eat here on Mother's Day. My wife absolutely loves the deep dish pizza. I had the spaghetti with meat sauce and it too was incredible. Our server took care of us very well and we were very satisfied.

    From what I had heard, Pizza Novara in Bloomington (near Mall of America) was owned or established…read moreby the same person as Joey Nova's in Excelsior. I therefore wanted to give it a try, since I think that Joey Nova (and Elmar Pizza) are the best New York-style pizzas in the Twin Cities. However, there is no ownership or any other ties between Pizza Novara and Joey Nova. Although they both serve New York style pizza and you can get a whole pie or a slice, that's where the similarity ends. My wife and I tried two different kinds of slices. I opted for the plain cheese, while my wife got the pepperoni. As an ex-New Yorker, i would say the pizza here is OK, but doesn't hit as well as the other two restaurants that I mention above. The pizza is ordered at the counter and brought to your table when ready. Both my wife and I thought the counter person was a bit snippy when asked a few questions about the pizza. Nothing terrible, but not particularly welcoming. There are lots of hotels surrounding this restaurant and I'm sure they get a lot of business (take-out and delivery) from the hotels and it's certainly better than most of the chains. The restaurant is bright and cheerful and there are tables to sit at if you want to eat in the restaurant.

    Too expensive for me. Sorry! :(…read more I've driven past this place countless times headed downtown and always wanted to give it a try because I love Italian food! Finally the perfect day to snag some arrived. Got our meals to-go, which in a way was like "thank goodness" because at least I didn't have to then also leave a tip for the wait staff... Doing so would've made this $50+ instead of $40+. Ouch! DX The bottled beverages are $4 a pop, canned for $3. Gosh dang, fam, you could've at least made those affordable to even things out instead of finding another way to gouge... Placed my order at the counter and sat in the lobby on the hard chairs to wait for it to be prepared. It took A WHILE. Which maybe makes sense for stuff like lasagna and pizza. Idk. I was there pretty late at night (nearly 8pm) on a Monday night, so maybe that was part of the problem too? It got later and later into the evening and I got hangier the longer I sat, I'll admit. Oops. At least when the order was ready, it was piping hot, so even on the 15-minute drive home it stayed plenty warm when we opened it up to consume. Sadly though, the garlic bread was halfway to soggy because it steamed inside the tin foil... Thankfully our air fryer was able to restore it to crunchy glory. The food was all pretty tasty at least, and in a reasonable quantity, so even though it was pricey, I did get three meals out of my $21 pasta dish (I'm on the small side though, so your "mileage" may vary). If I was made of money, I'd be happy to return to try the dine-in experience. It looked like the inside and outside had been painted with fun colors, which I always find to be a plus (I like knowing some artist out there got to contribute their craft to making a place unique). Or maybe some time I'll just drop in to try the gelato (or have the in-laws treat us when they visit, pfft). The parking situation is... well, a situation. It's not good. They have a small lot out back that isn't well delineated as to where you should or can park... and escaping from that lot is also a burden. I think most people just parallel park on the opposite side of the street? Or maybe walk from Lake Nokomis? Or maybe it's all local folk who walk from home. I get it, not every place can accommodate a lot of vehicles though.

We got a pizza and the meatballs to share, plus I got a spritz - and everything tasted great. Prices are slightly elevated but not too crazy. Service was good and the ambiance was lively - I think this will be a great staple pizza spot for the neighborhood.
