OK, gave it a second try...equally disappointing. The atmosphere would be much better if they paid attention to cleanliness. The windows are filthy. I ordered ahead, but again experienced a 15 minute wait....why bother ordering ahead? The hostess is more like the unhostess....not cordial at all, and the place was nearly empty, probably didn't like the fact I mentioned the dirty windows. I could go on, but why bother. Green Mill pizza is better. Their help is better too. read more

Just spent $50 on the worst pizza and salad I've probably ever had! I ordered the extra thin crust margarita pizza. It was like dumping a can of tasteless crushed tomatoes on a frozen cardboard crust. Cheese and basil were almost nonexistent and had no flavor. Salad looked fresh but the dressing was horrid.... plain oil would have been better. $50 I can never get back. Just don't go here, ever. read more

It's a nice reworking of an old Baker's Square. We had a good server, decent Arnie Palmer's and a nice Greek salad, though I do prefer feta crumbles instead of one big chunk of cheese. The "make your own" deep dish pizza (we had pepperoni, tomatoes, black and green olives) we had left a lot to be desired. It had a good covering of olives. But the dry flavorless crust, minimal pepperoni which needed spicing up buried under a too thick mantle of cheese topped with a sauce lacking in flavor just wasn't worth the price we paid. Or the wait for it's arrival from the kitchen. I'd return, maybe have the salad again and drink but try a different entree or thin crust pizza (hoping for a spicer pizza sauce). read more

Went for lunch today since it's typically my favorite pizza. Super disappointed with the sauce. It had no spice, just squashed tomatoes. The service was attentive, lunch special came out really quick, too quick maybe? The cheese bread had a weird texture. Nothing warranted sending it back but nothing warranted us going back either. read more

A bit expensive, but it's worth it. This place kicks ass for pizza. It's so good! Appetizers are good too. My only issue is that you can't change anything on their pizzas, such as "no green peppers". They make you do a "build your own" which costs more than doing a specialty pizza. I just order what they have and take stuff off myself. I love this Richfield location. It is much more convenient than their first location. The décor is pretty cool. Waiter was very nice. I can't wait to go back. read more

Why have I gone 37 years without having a deep dish pizza? I honestly don't know but let me tell you I will be making up for it in the future! Giordano's deep dish pizza is so delicious! My hubby and I started off with the calamari. I'm not a huge fan of it generally but once in awhile I cave and let him order it. Really it was pretty good! Then we ordered the Chicago classic deep dish pizza to share. Be sure to leave plenty of time for dinning here. It does take 45 minutes or so for them to cook the deep dish pizzas (totally worth the wait!). The Chicago classic comes with pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers, and onions. Let me tell you... this pizza is a divine piece of cheese, sauce, and toppings. It is worth the drive here if you aren't local like me! We will be back again in the near future. I'm already counting down the days until we return! read more

The garlic cheese bread and pizza was amazing! Great service as well!! Will definitely be coming back.

We had the Special Chicago Deep Dish Pizza. It was worth the 45 minute wait. It was hot, fresh, and delicious. "Wow" is the only word I can use to describe the pizza experience. Great pizza. We will be back. And today is National Pizza Day, too. Awesome. Enjoy. read more

Man alive... didn't know we could get this kind of pizza in mn!!! Our trip tonight was a superior contender for the top 10 of my life eats. It was even better than last time, service was great! It was busy and a happening, they had the hockey game on and playoffs for the super bowl. Win win. We also remembered our take home this time too so someone is having pizza for breakfast tomorrow! I love the sauce. It's flavorful and a touch spicy. I'm not a fan of the "artisan" pizzas that don't have red sauce. Pizza needs sauce. If there's no sauce.... it's a flatbread. Sorry but that's the truth. I was raised on real Pizza and this place has it!!! Take your fancy pizza and scadaddle. The contenders in the Hood... Lola (meh), red wagon (blah), hello (ish), I will stick to what I know and love and it's mafia style deep dish from chi town. Muah! read more

Delicious! Their deep dish pizzas are amazing. We had the meat lovers one. Also, very professional & safe during the shelter in place. Wore gloves and brought right to our car as we pulled up. Thank you! read more

If you've ever been to Chicago - you've probably been to Giordano's - it's great Chicago deep dish pizza. Giordano's in Richfield wasn't quite like being in Chicago, but if you can't get to Chicago, I recommend this Minnesota location. This specific location seems to be quiet compared to the uptown location and definitely more quiet then the chicago location. Service was decent, nothing quick but you get your pizza. Pro tip - Order ahead - deep dish pizza takes a while to cook! If you love spinach - try deep dish with spinach! read more

We just went here for the first time after driving by and wanting to try it out. Our server was friendly and promptly got us our drinks and even brought seconds over without us asking, which was nice. We waited quite awhile for 2 small pizzas, but ordered the thin crust and "super" thin crust. First of all, they were the exact same crust thickness, which is fine, but it tasted like flour and water... it was the blandest piece of cardboard I've ever had in my mouth. We looked around at the other 2 tables of people and realized we probably should have ordered the deep dish... so maybe that was our-bad. Since it was Christmas Eve, I joked with my boyfriend that maybe the chef had the night off and there was a server back there trying to figure out how to make pizza dough with zero ingredients. I had one piece of my dry Margherita pizza... which was covered with cold, bland tomatoes and a few pieces of tasteless mozzarella... I've never not been able to eat one slice, but miracles happen! So I reached for a slice of my boyfriend's special and the crust was just as bad. At least I could tear off the toppings and eat those. The server never asked why I had a pile of pizza crusts on my plate or if we enjoyed the pizza at all - we figured she must know how bad this crap is. When she came back with our pizzas boxed up, mine went directly in the dumpster. My boyfriend is gonna try to eat his toppings for lunch another day. We also got the cookie dessert to go. Got home and had the same issue! It wasn't so much bland, but we figured out where they put the salt... finally some flavor, but in the wrong place - and it wasn't even mixed! What were those white chunks? You can have those chunks of dried flour back and get yourself a new recipe and a new blender for that matter. Not gonna be back here again until one of the staff graduates culinary school. read more

The Chicago location has an energy that makes the occasion feel special and it is usually very busy. The Richfield location was pleasantly not busy, there wasn't much energy, but the pizza was just as good. The service was fair. We will be back for the pizza. read more

This is only deep dish if you consider turning the crust 90 degrees to make the crust into a bowl. But the cheese and sauce is not filled in at all Just the regular pizza's amount !!! Not even double the amount. Tastes good though but I'm very confused where is the sauce? And their calamari was very good. I'd like to give 3.5 stars but main dish is only deep in name. This is a pizza bowl !!! read more

I would give it no stars if that was an option! We were excited to try this location. after having heard how long the wait used to be in Minneapolis we planned accordingly and got there before the rush We got seated right away, which was great. But that is about the only positive The place is super noisy! The chairs and tables make awful metal screeching sounds on the cement floor. I ordered a Sam Adams Boston lager, which was listed both in the drafts as well as bottles. Server informed me that they are out. I asked if only the draft or also the bottles - a little in disbelieve. She went to check, came back and said they had a summer lager. Ok cool. She brought the bottle and asked if I wanted a glass. Yes please. DANG!!! My dirty glasses are cleaner than their clean glasses!! We ordered the appetizer sampler. When it came, there was a piece of plastic wrapping on the cheese bread. Ok, no big deal, but still a tad disturbing! After eating the first chicken nugget and cutting the 2nd in half with the fork, a HAIR is tangled up on my fork and around the nugget!!! I have short brown hair and this was a LONG blonde hair!! ICK!!!! I looked around to find our server, which I saw polishing a glass in the kitchen! She came over to our table with this polished new glass for me. She had realized that I hadn't used the one I had asked for! Yeah, because it was gross! I told her about the plastic and the hair in my food. I politely told her that we would be done, that this is just a bit too much, to cancel our pizza order and we would just leave. She offered to do something for us with the pizza, which we politely declined! We didn't want to wait for half an hour for a pizza we would be too grossed out to eat!! Needless to say, I will not go back! I can deal with a dirty glass, but not contaminated food!!! read more

First time stopping here I got one of the deep dish pizzas. The crust was undercooked and top got cold. It's a long wait for the deep dish pizza so that really bites when it's not worth it. I've been to Lou Malnati's and Gino's East in Chicago and highly prefer those over what I got here in terms of crust and sauce flavor. I went back to Giordano's again recently and got the Italian Beef this time instead to avoid the long wait and because I didn't like the pizza before, and the Beef is pretty good.... I don't think it's any better than Chris & Rob's though, and over there you can get Chicago Dogs, too. Maybe I'll try the pizza again after they've been open a while longer and hopefully have things figured out a little better. Very noisy place even when not very busy. The wait staff was great, I will say that. read more

I don't think I can give a very fair review because most gluten free crust is not good. This one is no exception. I didn't have a chance to try the real deepdish and I'm sure that's the best. They do a nice little pizza for kids for $5 that's just the right size and the topping was really good. They give a small sundae for just $1. The happy hour seems to have some great deals too, but isn't on the weekends. Big TVs for football game watching. read more

Delicious, true to Chicago, and we are thrilled we can get Giordano's while home in Minnesota! Give them your money. read more

Very dissapointed. The deep dish is extremely bland. The mozzarella has zero flavor, and it had the texture of warm brie. It took an hour to cook, which is fine, but the pizza was not hot. It was warm at best. The tomato sauce on top is unseasoned crushed tomatoes. The crust is water and flour. Which is great for a cracker thin crust, but not a thick deep dish. I gave the leftovers to an adult and two kids. They reheated it at home and reported the same thing. My big issue is the cheese. I honestly don't think it was mozzarella. Tombstone pizza cheese has more flavor. So odd. I have eaten at Gino's East in Chicago. So, I know what Chicago deep dish can be. This wasn't close. read more

Very expensive for average chain restaurant fare. I didn't love our pizza at all. Was served barely warm, with little sauce. Our waitress Joy was the only saving grace here. She was fantastic, that's why I giving 2 stars instead of 1. read more

I have visited both the uptown location and now the Richfield location. I have loved my experience at both but the Richfield location is more roomy and a little less crowded on a weekday. My favorite part of the visit at Richfield was how welcoming the man at the front was but our waitress Joy was amazing. Her positive energy was infectious. She never hovered but made a point to follow and and keep our drinks filled. I overheard other patrons giving verbal compliments about her because she was that attentive to all her tables. This location is very dialed in on cleanliness, service and quality of food. I was so happy to see Giordano's come to MN from Chicago. read more

This is Chicago-style pizza, but it wasn't very flavorful. I didn't get that independent taste from the sausage to the ham to other ingredients. All the flavors just seemed to blend into a lack of seasoning. Also, this pizza was not good reheated the next day. read more

I had driven pass this place a few times and have been wanting to try it so we gave it a try tonight. Our server Joy was awesome. Her customer service was more than I can say for the manager that went around checking on the tables but skipped us each time he went out to greet the customers in the patio. I don't patronize restaurants after the first bad service from the manger. The pizza was OK and it took forever. Not a place to go with a baby and a toddler. We had their special deep dish. There wasn't a lot of veggies or sausage just a ton of cheese. It's not worth the $$$. Their cheesy garlic bread was not stellar. Giving it two stars because of the manager. read more

Pizza's fine, but $10.95 for 8 small boneless chicken wings? They are delicious, but no little nugget is worth $1.37 per wing. Disappointing... If you're going to give such a sad portion, at least put it in a smaller delivery container to make us feel better about it! read more

Giordano's - Wings are delicious, but $1.37 per small little nugget is not worth it! - Salad Near Me - Richfield, Minnesota

My wife & I ate here on April 6. We used our debit card to pay for the meal. Four days later our checking account was charged for the meal. Two days later (yesterday) our account was charged a second time. These were NOT memo posts or temporary holds that you often see - the money was taken out twice. We called immediately yesterday & were told to call back today, as four other people had called with the same complaint and someone would be there the next day to handle it. We called again today and still no resolution as she claimed both transactions may not have actually processed. This despite me looking at my online banking app which clearly shows two separate withdrawals. This is unacceptable. I will be posting this everywhere & will never set foot in this restaurant again. read more

I've been here now for both lunch and dinner, so I thought I'd finally do my review since this is a newer place. First of all, it's a nice place with a pleasant decor and lots of windows. The lunch was very good and I had the lunch special with spaghetti and added meat sauce and a meatball. It was very, very good with a nice flavored, rich sauce, al dente noodles, and a great Caesar salad. It was a great place for lunch. The service was pretty good as well. I went for dinner because we were in the mood for pizza and wanted to try theirs. We shared a Caesar salad which was again excellent as it was at lunch with really fresh lettuce and great Parmesan cheese. We ordered the Cheesy Garlic bread appetizer and that was one of my favorite things....SOOO good! Great flavor and it was half-price during Happy Hour so a great deal and tasty! We then ordered the hand tossed thin crust pizza since my fiancé isn't a huge deep dish pizza fan. It was excellent. Great toppings, cooked perfectly, and plenty of food with the 12 inch. Even had leftovers, but of course we had already had a salad and cheesy bread ;). I would have given this place a 5 star rating, at least until the last half of our experience. The service was excellent for the first half of our time there...and then our server just disappeared. She was very attentive and then we not only couldn't get the check, but when we finally flagged her down I could hardly catch her to take it and run the card. It was disappointing especially since she was going to the booth right behind us. There are only two booths there so it's not like she wasn't right there. I saw reviews about poor service, and that want my experience at lunch, or the first part of dinner, but it sounds like they need some consistency with that because it affects your desire to stop back in again. Otherwise...food, space, and some serving were fantastic. read more

I'm new to the area and heard this place was good. Called for a carry out order (1small pizza) at 6:45 and was told the order would be ready between 8:45-9:00 PM. I'm sorry, what? 2+ hours for a pizza order is unacceptable, was told they were swamped. 3/16/17- emailed the store twice as requested, didn't ever hear a response. read more

I had great service from the delivery guy. But I spent nearly 12 dollars on a terrible salad and a 1 inch cube piece of bread. Seems a tad ridiculous to me. read more

I enjoyed my visit to this location... i went last night with a gf. It took over the old Bakers Square, for those of you gps'ing your way and fail to notice the small red sign. Greated warmly from hostess and our server was awesome. He was patient as my friend was indecisive re: her meal. He aimed to please and did so. Food, of course delicious! We had wings n Pizza. #yumm read more

The best pizza I have ever had. My girlfriend and I went on opening night at dinner time. It was packed and we still didn't have to wait at all. Our server, Jeff was great. Gave us great advice and was super nice. I ordered a stuffed pan with pepperoni and my gf had the chicken sausage and feta. The crust is very good. The cheese and sauce are amazing. The best sauce on a pizza ever. Spendy but you get your money's worth. I will definitely be going back. read more

I was born in a suburb of Chicago, so I know the Giordano name well! So excited they have a location near me! We came on a Tuesday night and they are decently busy. The service was great! We enjoyed the calamari while our deep dish was cooking. I love the mix in the calamari plate! Lemons, calamari, onions and artichokes! It was a good mix with plenty of calamari! They have a small but decent beer selection including cider which is my go to! The pizza came out and was delivered to the table as soon as it was ready by a different server. That's a nice touch so your pizza doesn't have to wait for your server to be available! We got the Chicago classic. I'd say it could've had more onions since I didn't particularly notice them, but it's a fine balance of ingredients so it could easily go the other way! The dessert menu looked great but after all that, I wasn't thinking about dessert. Nice interior decor with the trendy old looking bulbs. A few big screen TVs near the bar if you want to catch a game! read more

Almost choked on the cheese on the deepdish. That's a good indicator of the cheesiness.

Service is unfortunately not the best but if you have to get deep dish you should really come here! Don't get a pie that is too big though because it is actually really filling and I could only really eat one slice. We had to take the rest of it home - delicious crust, delicious sauce and fillings - will be back but hopefully with better service next time. read more

Waited for over an hour for our pizza and all three came to our table with dough covering it as it wasn't fully cooked. Appetizers were good but service was poor and was really disappointed in the undercooked pizza. Please has potential but they need to really look at training in their kitchen. read more

The lunch combos here are the best! $10 for a personal size deep dish pizza plus a choice of side (house salad, Caesar salad, or fries). They also have a number of sandwiches on the lunch combo menu too. The app works great for on-line ordering and payment. And during COVID they have curbside pickup so it's completely contact free! read more

Gotta give this place its due. Really good pizza. I grew up in Chicago and used to get Giordano's all the time ... this tastes just like home. Thin and deep dish are solid. We've eaten there and had it delivered. This is as good as any pizza you'll find around here. It's different that the "fancy" pizzas you'll get at Lola's or Red Wagon (which I love by the way). This is good, solid Chicago style pizza. read more

Ceaser salad is so yummy. House salad is beautiful, great house dressing. Spaghetti and meat sauce is fantastic! Very fast service. Will definately be back! read more

My curbside pickup for a medium chicago deep dish cost $52 after the tip. Huge disappointment. Staff used minimal pepperoni and almost zero onions, peppers or any other toppings. Instead a 3/4 inch layer of ricotta was the only thing inside this stuffed casserole. Cheap, tawdry a total waste of money. read more

The service was great but the food not so much. First I'd like to point out that if you are not familiar with the area the is in the old bakers square building. When my family and I arrived it was around 6:30 PM and the place seem busy. We were greeted right away and then seated very quickly. The restaurant appeared very clean and has lots of windows. We started with "The Best" Tomato bruschetta and it was just ok. I just tasted a lot of balsamic vinegar. We also order a deep dish pizza with spinach, garlic and the pesto chicken and a small kids cheese pizza. When it came out it looked wonderful but both of the pizzas were bland, the crust was doughy and the sauce tasted like canned tomatoes. My child never met a pizza she didn't like but after one bite she refused to eat anymore and I got through 1 piece before I just couldn't stand eating bland pizza anymore. The positive is there were a lot of young children (under 5) eating with there families so it very kid friendly. The servers and hosts are pretty great and there is plenty of parking. I'd be willing to give this place one more try. Maybe I ordered the wrong things. read more
