Ok your thinking 5 stars chain restaurant... went for dinner with my 7 year old niece this past Friday. My niece loves the mozzarella triangles and of course their pizza. The food was great she ordered the spaghetti with butter and cheese and I ordered the gluten free pizza. I was shocked how amazing the gluten free crust tasted , not soggy and pretty dam delicious. To all my gluten free people give this pizza a try , you won't be disappointed. Here's why 5 stars , our server Allison was unbelievable, I didn't have to ask for anything , was so awesome with my niece and incredibly patient. The service industry is hard , and if just 50 % of that industry treated their customers like Allison , well folks , I believe there would be more 5 star reviews on this great platform. Thank you Allison for making my experience with my niece that much better. Cheers ! read more

Definitely not my favorite Chicago Style but better than average but over priced to its competitors. But worth a try...

Deep dish pizza is good its one of the best and I think it has good pricing. That being said the bone in wings was way too high 6 piece was $14. I told her that was too much and she says they're big. So fine I'll get it, I pick up and of course nothing special same size like everywhere else. I also noticed that the manager are not so nice to their employees. read more

This place is my go to for pizza! It literally makes my mouth water every time I think about it. The restaurant is clean and the hosts are great! It doesn't take long for your pizza to get to you and it's always made to perfection! Whether it is deep dish or thin crust it's always great! I've never had to wait long when ordering and even their online order and delivery is quick! read more

There are so many better choices for deep dish pizza in the area. I visited with a large group of out-of-towners who had long since decided whose pizza they wanted to try. Giordano's it was. We called about a week ahead for seating on a Sunday afternoon. The tables were preset so that was a plus. We ordered some appetizers and they were fine. Nothing memorable to even share. The pizza was another thing. The crust tasted undercooked and made the pizza inedible to me. Our guests were so entranced by the thick stringy cheese every time we served a slice. They aren't familiar with food pizza and they didn't say much. Overall it was an underwhelming visit and I wouldn't bother again. Even at someone else's urging. read more

The deep dish pizza we ordered was great, it took about thirty minutes or more but was worth the wait. I enjoyed the pizza so much we got some shipped later on to our home in SC ! read more

Love me some Giordano's. Their deep dish pizza is great, their thin crust is tasty (and they actually do well-done when you ask), and their pastas are yummy--especially their Carbonara. We have gotten it over and over now! We live right across the street from there, so I can't speak for their delivery, but they're fast and our order is always ready when they say it's going to be (and piping hot and fresh!), and I love that I can order online! It's not my favorite deep-dish, but it is quite delicious and can definitely hold its own! read more

Pretty much in love with this place. It's got that cute family joint feel with big open booths and Frank Sinatra playing in the background. We were seated quickly, the waiter was friendly and didn't give us that oh-god-you-have-a-coupon look. We ordered the large, stuffed Spinach Pie. It takes 35 minutes to bake a stuffed pizza. (It would've been worth an hour.) The sauce was the perfect blend of flavor and the pizza was DELICIOUS (that's right, in caps). The five of us couldn't finish the pizza in one sitting. (The leftovers didn't last long.) This pizza *almost* makes me want to move here. read more

Yum, Spinach Ravioli with meat sauce for lunch today. I'm ready for a nap! It's stuffed with ricotta cheese and spinach.The pasta for the ravioli is made from Spinach too. The first time I ordered it, I was taken aback by the color because I'd never seen green pasta before. Giordano's offers full size entrees but half orders are also available. Both include your choice of soup or small salad, bread and butter. The downside of having food delivered is my bad habit for over-ordering and today was no different. Besides ordering Spinach Ravioli, I ordered an Individual Pizza stuffed with Spinach, Sausage and Sliced Tomatoes. The Individual Stuffed Pizza is only available during lunch hours: 11am - 3pm. It's the size of the ones you find in your local Grocer's freezer. I like taking advantage of this offer. It's a fresh personal stuffed pizza with my choice of ingredients so why not overindulge? Dinnertime will be here soon... read more

I love pizza. There's a lot of different types and styles out there, and Giordano's has their own unique flavor. I've never dined in, so I can't say much about service or staff there, but the employees that have taken my order over the phone are always super pleasant. I've had a couple of different sandwiches here, and everything has been really good. Their "north side" Italian Beef is insane. A must to try! As far as their pizza goes, if I want the best deep dish I'm going to Lou's. But if I want a solid not paper thin crust, Gioradano's all the way. I'm not sure why, I'm guessing it's super amazing quality, but they have the best cheese ever. I always order extra on my pizza. I feel like they're a little on the pricey side, but I can't ever say I've had bad food there, so I'm paying for the quality for sure. read more

I was very disappointed. Just goes to show you how these places can be a hit or a miss. I was told by the manager the reason why my deep dish pizza was literally sitting on a puddle of liquid was because I ordered it a little well done. I never heard of such crap. I'll never go back. A very disappointing Father's Day outing. I won't BB read more

We ordered stuffed pizza with a very light cheese. It came as a regular and heavy cheese. I asked my server to make it right for me. She called the manager and manager was very very very rude. He was not ready to hear us and showing us what is dough and what is cheese. He was so stupid and ignorant that he was showing me cheese as dough and making me believe that by his rude attire and not ready to accept his mistake. I was there to have a good lunch not to get humiliated. So bad customer service, never recommend this place. The manager does not know how to mange this place. I have never seen this type of behavior from any other restaurant manger. He will bring this place down if continues this type of behavior to his customers. I was not there to get discount or getting food for free but I end up paying full amount for the food that i didnt enjoy. read more

Giordano's - "Very less cheese" said by the manager. stubborn and ignorant person this manager is. - Pizza Near Me - Streamwood, Illinois

Chicago native here and someone that knows his Chicago pizza. I grew up eating at many pizzeria restaurants that serve classic windy city deep dish and Giordanos is one on that list but for some reason this location in Streamwood on Buttita St. has some food quality issues. Typically order a large sausage deep dish and several times, the pizza has been disappointing. This last visit really made up my mind not to return to this location! Soggy crust & and seemed underdone! Service has been unpredictable. Bottom line, please be cautious in dining here as you dont know what quality of food you will get. Such a shame as I am a local resident but will take the drive to Schaumburg or Addison where I know the service amd pizza will be consistently delicious!! If you go and get disappointed, dont say I didn't warn you!! Unless you like wet undercooked pizza!! read more

I honestly don't care how good the pizza is. The last 6 times, yes SIX TIMES I called for a pick-up order I was put on hold for over 10 minutes! I finally just hang up EVERY TIME! I'M DONE... This is not even calls at traditionally busy times! At my salon if we left people on hold for 10 minutes we would have no clients! read more

Had a great experience at Giordano's. We pre-ordered our pizza over the phone, the lady over the phone was a sweetheart. Would recommend this place 10/10. Great customer service! read more

Personally I feel like Giordanos is the best deep dish in chicagoland... I always get the deep dish spinach with jalapeno. I have dined at this restaurant for more then 10 years and this is my family's choice location. This location has an extremely friendly wait staff, ample parking, very clean, and convenient. The pizza's tend to run large and are quite heavy. It's not a bad idea to order ahead if you can. Estimate 35-40 minutes for a deep dish! read more

We go to Giordano's every couple of months as our Friday night get out of the house night. Although not my favorite, it's right up there. I do like the stuffed pizza. That is usually what we get there. We get a medium and there is enough for both of us for that dinner, breakfast the next morning and a couple of lunches for me to take to work the following week. We'd like to try some of their other menu items, but we still keep getting the stuffed pizza. This last time we got the fried zucchini. Probably won't have that again, but there are other appetizers to try. Service has been consistently good. Never anything great, but still acceptable. My only complaint is that this is a family restaurant. This means kids. Seems that no matter how hard we try, we end up with someone's demon spawn sitting right behind us. Hey parents, how about doing some parenting and control the little bast...ummm...children. Their screeching like Mariah Carey may be enthralling to you, but to most others is at best annoying, much like Mariah. Other than the demon spawn, we like Giordano's and will be back for more Friday nights out for dinner. read more

I went on a Thursday around noon and not many people there, nice looking place, and a very friendly waitress. I got the cheesy garlic bread and bacon BBQ chicken stuffed (deep dish) pizza cheesy garlic bread- nice blend of cheese, can taste the garlic bread, crisp marinara sauce nice tang like classic marinara bacon BBQ chicken- crisp bacon juicy chicken onions meh? ( not much and over masked by the BBQ sauce BBQ sauce very light Crust was a bit too thick and had a weird crunch to it nice blend overall Over all the food was yummy but I do prefer Lou's better read more

Grabbed a stuffed pizza to go here to watch the Steelers game at hotel while we were in town for our anniversary based on recommendation from one of our Nieces who lived in the Chicago area for a number of years. This was my first for eating Giordino's take on Chicago style stuffed pizza and I was not very impressed. We ordered the "Special" with green peppers, sausage and onions as well as an antipasta salad and calamari side. The antipasto salad was very good and loaded with great ingredients and the calamari was cooked correctly and had good flavor. On the Pizza - "DISAPPOINTING" would be the best word to describe the Giordino's stuffed pizza - there was an overabundance of large onion pieces, very little green pepper and almost no sausage (I found 2 dime size pieces of sausage in the slice I had) and an unremarkable flavor to the sauce and crust. Basically an onion pizza with lots of cheese and basic crust that cost $19.75 for a small. Bottom Line - Wouldn't come here again for pizza (would stick with Lou Malnati's) but might come back for other items if everywhere else was busy. read more

This was my first time to Chicago and I've heard this is one of the pizza restaurants to go to. The pizza was great, dough had a good chew to it, the sauce was mild, and there was so much cheesy goodness! I'm excited they have open a location in the Twin Cities! read more

Giordano's - Deep dish was so cheesy! - Pizza Near Me - Streamwood, Illinois

When you walk into this location it's a little confusing, the counter is further back and diagonal to the front door. Is that the hostess stand or the take out counter because there's never anyone at the hostess stand. I've gotten take-out at this location 2 times and both times they messed up my order. I asked for plates and ranch when I made my order both times instead of asking last minute when I picked up my pizzas. Both times they didn't give me them so I had to ask again after I got my pizza. The first time I went, the girl getting my pizza was rude to not only me, but the other staff as well. She stopped in the kitchen to talk to one of the cooks before bringing me my pizza which was irritating. I just feel like the employees at this restaurant don't really care about their job or customer service which is super frustrating. I've gone to McDonald's with better staff than this location. read more

Thier stuffed pizza is fantastic. I've found this location impossible to get into; the waits are hours long. You've been warned! Go with delivery instead. read more

service was a bit slow, waitress didn't even know she had a table waiting so I had to go up and call someone myself. we ordered deep dish Hawaiian, toasted ravioli and north side Italian beef. the ravioli and pizza were good but I didn't get to try the beef. the fries that came with the beef was great tho. The size small pizza says it serves two but we were getting full right after the first slice and was left with 2 pieces. read more

My cousins are in town for 3 nights, and are committed to have Chicago pizza every night. Last night was Lou Malnati's and tonight was Giordano's. The combo appetizer was a basket of your standard fried goodies, like mushrooms, mozzarella wedges, etc. For the pizza, we went with a large stuffed mushroom-onion-green pepper. Came out in 10 slices. Great quality, very filling... but I wish it was kept in the oven a few more minutes so the doughy taste bakes out. Service was also great... but minus 1 star for the CTA Blue Line-inspired bathroom. Definitely well overdue for a remodel. read more

This place is the best neighborhood go to for pizza. They are always smiling and making sure your experience is as good as it can be. The pizza is crisp and piping hot when you order in. The pizza is always ready when they say it will be which is why I only choose them for my pizza needs read more

The pizza we go this evening wasn't good at all. for one thing it had so much cheese and sauce then normal. Secondly, I asked for pep and out of all the slices we consumed from a large was about 7 pieces on it all together. The crust was soggy and to me had not much of a flavor. they had to change it. Doesn't taste the same like back in the days. It deff changed my take on this style and restaurants version of deep dish. I ordered online and I clicked delivery and after processing it they said to pick it up at 630 and I was charged the amount for a tip even though I ended up picking it up. Needless to say I didnt get the tip back when picking up the food. Simply irritating since i would have called it in if I we're to be doing carry out. read more

I grew up in Evanston and lived in Chicago. Downtown Evanston back in the 90's was the best Giordanos. Always fresh and done right. When I first moved to Steamwood, the pizza at this location was pretty close. Something happened recently to their sauce. It doesn't taste fresh. It has a stinging aftertaste. I would be willing to try again if I knew they brought things back to the way it was. read more

Our server Sydney was great! She provided excellent serivice even when the place was super busy. Drinks never empty, plates taken away promptly. Always in a great mood, willing to help. Would for sure go again. read more

I have always loved Giordano's, the pizza is always good! However, last night I went into this location with a friend we were kindly seated at a table, but after 10 minutes of sitting there without being served we got up and left. The place wasn't busy at all and the waiter's and waitress's saw us sitting there but no one came to help us. The manager as well saw us sitting there but no one came to serve us I will take my business else where!! Never will be back to this location!! They need some help with their customer service!! Save yourself the time and visit the one on Meacham rd In Schaumburg about 10 minutes from this one! read more

I was in a hurry and forgot to check Yelp.. and so comes this review. Will definitely not be returning to this location. The pizza was surprisingly cold and with a very chewy-tasting cheese despite the fact that the place was empty. There was also a heavy-set woman with a prison tattoo across her arm who had very low sanitary standards- she was repeatedly rubbing her nose (this is putting it nicely) as she served food during the hour that we were there. The rest of the staff just seemed angry that they had to be there. This is just a quick summary of our experience at this location. Bottom line- if you go in expecting what you've experienced at other Giordonos, you will definitely be disappointed and grossed out. read more

I'm giving 3 stars because of the service. Otherwise, the place would be 4 stars. New Yorker born and raised, and I can say this is the best pizza I've had outside of New York City. It's a little different than how we do it, but it's a nice alternative. It took about 10 minutes for our appetizer (bruschetta) which was ok, but it took about 45 minutes for our pizza to come to the table after ordering. Mind you, when we were greeted at the front door, the gentleman said "You guys are the first people to sit down in over 40 minutes". The place was not packed at all. The bruschetta was very good. I didn't care much for the balsamic drizzle, and it would have tasted much better without it. The pizza was pretty good. The crust was not oily at all, the cheese was in the middle and the top of the pie was covered in sauce. The mozzarella was high grade, you could taste it. A lot of places in the city use cheap, garbage mozzarella. The sauce was pretty flavorful as well. My only gripe is that the outter crust, what us New Yorkers would grip this thing by, is extremely dry and hard. The dough on the bottom was nice and soft. Once we were done, it took about 15 minutes to get our waitresses attention for the check. Food was great, service was eh. I would love for places in New York to serve pizza like this, hopefully I can find one. read more

Being from New England and having different styles of pizza, this was my first time trying a Chicago deep dish style. I would say, that if you're looking for a hearty, tomato + Cheese + veggies type of pie, then this is exactly what it is. IF you're a fan of a thinner crust, crispier toppings, then this isn't for you. Giordano's staff was very nice and attentive when i had called to place and order and they also gave me a timeframe of when it will be ready. read more

Foods been decent, calamri and the cheese bread were great apps but the pizza is soggy, luke warm, and greasy! Server is very friendly and nice, but the interior and decor is horrendous. The booths are causing me major back pain, I have minor scoliosis, but I've never had any pain from restaurant seating in my life. read more

OMG...this has to be THE best pizza I have ever had! We were a bit worried driving up to this place...it's at the end of a strip mall, almost like where you would find a Pizza Hut or something. Walking in the door, it is very nice inside and the people who work there are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. The deep dish pizza is absolutely AMAZING! If you've never had real Chicago deep dish pizza, yo have to go to a Giordano's and have their pizza. Huge thanks to the manager who turned on the Cubs game for us too! read more

Came here for dinner with the family because my niece was in town for the weekend and this was where she wanted to go. Dinner was for Friday at 6 I got there a bit early because I came directly from work. While I waited, the staff was friendly and professional. They offered to seat me but I declined due to my family's seating dynamics...anyhow, the meatball sandwich was lovely and delicious heated up the next day too, but the salad with fennel and lemon vinaigrette was amazing! read more

I've never had a bad experience with this place dining-in or ordering delivery. We keep it simple and the last 2 times we ordered delivery our deep dish sausage pizza was Giordano's esque... gooey cheese with hints of sausage melted in with the doey crust, cooked perfect... signature Giordano's. Please continue and thank you for representing Chicago deep dish right... especially serving up this area, feel like people around here don't appreciate what they have right outside their doorstep...we'll be back . read more

Wanted to experience Giordano's for the first time while visiting the area. Called at 10:30pm and asked what they recommend. I was given very little help so I asked if I could call back in 10 minutes after looking at the menu. She said yes, but let me know they close at 11pm. We called at 10:40pm to place an order for pick up. I had to call 3 times before anyone picked up. Lisa finally picked up the phone, stated that they are no longer open. I mentioned that we just spoke and she said we could call back. She said, "No, we are closed" and hung up the phone on me. I was very disappointed and took my business elsewhere. read more

This was my second time at this Giordano's. Had the Chicago Classic thin crust for dinner with my daughter. The small paired with the house salad was plenty for the 2 of us. There was a slight issue with our pizza, and the manager (Pat) very kindly replaced it with a new one. Will definitely be back again! read more
