Incredible food and service! Andretta took super good care of us and went the extra mile to make our meal a full-fledged memorable experience. Everyone needs to go here and ask for Andretta! read more

Amazing soo good. Good to see you in DC will back soon. Will there be outside seating soon.

Simon made our visit to Giordano Pizza even better! He was friendly, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. His recommendations were spot on, and his great personality made us feel right at home. We ordered the BBQ and Buffalo chicken wings, along with the Deep Dish Special pizza, and everything was delicious. The wings were flavorful with just the right amount of sauce, and the deep-dish pizza definitely lived up to the hype. The cheese pull is real, and it tastes as legit as it looks! Every bite was loaded with fresh ingredients, a rich tomato sauce, and plenty of gooey cheese. Great food, outstanding service, and a fun atmosphere. We'll definitely be back, and we'll be asking for Simon again! read more

Kudos to Giordano's for serving late night pies. We built up an appetite after watching the Argentina v. Cabo Verde evening game at the FIFA Fan Zone on the National Mall during Independence Day weekend. Only minutes away from the Metro Center station. The wait time was reasonable (no more than 20 minutes) before we were shown to our table on the second level. Our server warned us that any deep dish pizza may take up to one (1) hour. Given that one of my friends has never had deep dish pizza, we opted to go for it. Luckily, we got our pizza within 30 minutes. We throughly enjoyed our appetizers. Shareable, not overly breaded or greasy. Perfect! The sangria was not strong at all which was perfect for someone like myself who is sensitive to alcohol. We opted for the veggie pizza as one of my friends is vegetarian. However, I should have thought to do a half and half so that I could sample more options. Between my friends, we had a few mixed reviews. My vegetarian friend and first timer in trying a deep dish pizza noted that is was worth the wait. As for myself, I don't think the veggie pizza was particularly flavorful and added an exceptional amount of chili flakes and parmesan. My friend warned me that the chili flakes were spicy and thought I was trying to prove a point that I can handle spice. On the other hand, she thought the pizza was too salty and soggy. I would agree that I was expecting a flakey crust given that I have had deep dish pizza in Chicago (from Lou Malnati's). Maybe Giordano's is not known for their flakey crust though at least I captured a good cheese-pull photo. All in all, good times were had and that's all that matters. +Sangria Pitcher +Mozzarella Triangles-lightly breaded and fried, served with our house-made marinara sauce +Calamari & More-tender calamari tossed with lemon rings and banana peppers, lightly fried and served with our house-made marinara sauce +10" Stuffed Deep Dish Super Veggie Pizza (2-3 persons)-mushrooms, green peppers, onions, garlic coated broccoli, black olives & spinach read more

Service was friendly and very accurate about kitchen queue times. There was an unsurprisingly long wait during peak lunchtime for deep dish pizza. Lots of seating and a fair number of people getting takeout. Portion-wise, I was pretty much full after 2 slices of a small stuffed crust deep dish. Maybe my expectations were too high after Pi closed, but I found the deep dish crust here too bland and overworked. I get that some structural stability is necessary, but I seriously considered scraping the toppings off to save myself from carbs that weren't worth the calories. I had no problems with the thin crust pizza, though my coworker was less happy about the cracker-texture of their gluten-free crust. The garlic bread came out quickly while we waited; it was a little soft, but more flavorful than what you get from the frozen section of the grocery store. If my coworkers really wanted to came back, I'd probably opt to try their salads and other appetizers. read more

Bomb Pizza, Authentic & Delicious!! Wow, what an incredible pizza and place! The food was absolutely delicious. The pizza was super hot, fresh and had tons cheese, sauce and flavor! The cheese pull from the pizza had everyone at the table, drooling!! As the first time, I came here with some friends as part of a pregame for my birthday weekend an Giordano's couldn't have been a better pick! From the minute that we walked through the door, the service was top-notch. We were greeted and seated at a center booth in the restaurant and given VIP treatment from the beginning to the end. Our server was Keylah and she was outstanding. Also, the bartender, Alonzo....I believe was his name... served up some great---strong drinks. The whole vibe of the restaurant was fun, chill and very casual for being in one of the most expensive restaurant corridors of the DC downtown area. Our server began by explaining the menu, popular pizza options/choices and some honorable mentions on the menu because the restaurant not only sells pizza but many other Chicago Italian favorites....like Italian Beef Sandwiches, Lasagna and alike. We opted for of course, the Chicago deep dish experience! I mean, when coming to a place like this, you gotta go full Monty and we sure did. We ordered two deep dish pizzas, that included the house special and created one of our own to include several "meat-everthang" & other delicious toppings. lol. We were forewarned of the 40 to 45 minute wait time, but that was OK because the drinks, apps and conversation was flowing and the time went by fairly quick. When Felicia brought our pizza to our table, we were amazed at how large our pizzas were! Then we did their famous "Cheese Pull" at our table. All I remember, seeing was sunrays from heaven and Lucky charms! It was the best looking deep dish pizza I had ever seen. That first bite was absolutely delicious! The whole table had the biggest smiles on our faces with each bite. We were only able to barely eat half of the pizzas as the portions and toppings were stacked! Also, the cheese to sauce ratio was perfect! We took the rest to our Buddha stomach rubbing Joy back to our homes. I cannot express how delicious and fresh everything was, including our salads and appetizers. A 10 out of 10 experience for sure! I will definitely be back to try some additional items that were on the menu and reminded me of my days living in Chicago. Thanks Giordano's for making the start to my bday weekend the best!!! In all, outstanding experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The service and food was outstanding. I highly recommend it! read more

I came here with my girlfriend while visiting DC. I've been to Giordano's in Chicago. So when I heard of this place opening up I knew I had to try it. The location was great. Close to so many museums and monuments. The place was packed and full of life. Giving some highlights of Chicago and Giordano's history. Great ambiance. While the hostess was great. The customer service was lacking. When we finally got sat down it took almost 20 mins before we even got waters, let alone our server acknowledged us. However the food was good. We got the sampler plate and side house salad. Which were good. The garlic fries were really good. The deep dish super veggie was the star of the show. While not as good as they make it in Chicago, this was still the best deep dish I've had outside of Chicago. 4.75 stars. I would gladly come by. I just hope as they stay open their customer service improves with experience. read more

The good: excellent lunch deal every day of the week. Individual size pizza pizza and a side for $11! Very good serves and service The bad: so so underwhelmed with the pizza. The crust is meh. Not enough cheese. Too much sauce. Overcooked edges. I'll give it one more try to see how the tavern style pizza is, but at these prices for full size pizzas, I doubt this will be a place I go out of my way to visit. read more

Giordano's - Lunch special: Individual 6" Cheese Deep Dish Pizza with Caesar Salad - Pizza Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Love this for DC. Yes the wait for deep dish is long. The wait is long in Chicago, too. This place is new and they are handling business as a new restaurant does. A few mistakes but the managers and staff keep on working to try to make it right. The space is casual and lively, with some bar space and seating that is first come first served, and dedicated dining area both inside and out. This place is a welcome addition and will be a neighborhood staple in no time. For those of you who haven't tried Chicago deep dish pencil Giordano's in for a future date. While the pie seems pricey for the size, it's dense and filling. I suggest making your own pizza as there are so many good ingredient options. This place is a definite must try if you've never enjoyed real deep dish. read more

I was anticipating to not like this cuz I tried a deep dish in dc before and I didn't like it. But this one was amazing. It stays together while you eat it. The cheese to dough to sauce proportions were perfect. The sauce had so much flavor. Pepperoni would take it to another level probably. The tavern was just alright to me. The deep dish is the way to go. I ordered take out and it took an hour lol. Good quality takes time. They had the pizza waiting in a special place so it won't go cold. The staff were very accommodating and helpful and nice. I had a lot of little things I needed and they took care of it. I was surprised how spacious and clean it was and had outdoor seating as well. read more

Giordano's - Individual 6" Cheese Deep Dish Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Yum. Giordano's officially opened June 9th. We visited on the 8th. We love Chicago style pizza. There are a variety of sizes and flavors available. There are also frozen premade pizzas to make at home. Restaurant capacity is 74, plus the upstairs and outside seating. I'm surprised that the downstairs bathroom only has two stalls. I enjoyed the cheese deep dish with black olives. The pizza had delicious gooey cheese. Hubby liked his pepperoni deep dish. I joined the free points club. Members can earn free food items. Lots of menu items are pricey. A deep dish pizza can take 30-40 minutes to prepare. Plan ahead. I want to return and try the $10.99 lunch special. The gift shop had adorable items with theme park prices. The holiday ornament is cute. The pizza plushie was my favorite. The restaurant is a few blocks from the Washington monument. We took picnic blankets and enjoyed a yummy meal outside. The employees filled our turvis cups with ice water. Customers can dine in, call in an order or just drop by and order take out. Kids can have a pizza coloring page. The restaurant if family friendly and also great for date night or catching up with friends. You'll have time to catch up since yummy Chicago Style pizza takes time to be cooked to perfection. read more

Amazing pizza. Glad to finally have this in DC. Ordered a large Italian Beef and Giardinara Deep Dish Pizza from DoorDash and loved how the Italian Beef was with the cheese and Giardinara on top. Beats Rosati's and probably Pi both of which closed. read more

Been a long time coming for this review. I am an avid fan of Deep Dish pizza and I was so excited to go this place open week. Unfortunately we weren't able to sit and eat because the hostess told us it would be a 3 hour wait which I know wasn't true so I opted to get the pizza to go. After getting my pie taking that first bite was glorious because I didn't go to Chicago this year so this was a good substitute. I will update this when I am able to sit and it. The inside definitely had a family restaurant feel. All pizza lovers go and show this place some love! read more

Welcome to D.C., Giordano's! Currently in their soft opening, they are still offering their usual regular menu, which consists of starters, salads, soups, salads, pasta dishes, and their stuffed deep dish, thin crust, and tavern-style pies. We ordered our go-to order: +the 14" Fresh Spinach Stuffed Deep Dish We also decided to add the Giordano's Sampler (which came with tomato bruschetta, boneless chicken nuggets (choice of being tossed in Classic Buffalo or BBQ; we opted for the Buffalo); Cheesy Garlic Bread, and Mozzarella Triangles; the platter also came with a side of marinara and ranch dipping sauces), and the Chopped Salad with Chicken (prepared with an iceberg lettuce mix with romaine and red cabbage, tomatoes, bacon, red onions, pasta, and bleu cheese with a honey mustard dressing) and the Giordano's House Salad (prepared with spring greens, baby tomatoes, shaved fennel, and asiago cheese with a lemon vinaigrette). We were stuffed, but they also had a dessert menu to end the meal; we shared the Oversized Skillet Cookie, which was topped with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. Love the decor and the iconic Chicago signage - staff were friendly and were attentive to our group! Metered street and garage parking can be found in the area. +Fresh Spinach Stuffed Deep Dish +shareable apps +friendly staff & service +metered street & garage parking read more

It's a taste of home! Growing up in Chicago, I developed a love of deep-dish pizza. While I was living there, Giordano's was my 5th favorite*. After moving away, I realized that even fifth place was something really special. I still remember the disappointing afternoon in '78 when I visited the newly opened Uno's restaurant in Boston with two friends, Bob (the other one) and Paula, two other displaced Chicagoans. We were so hopeful and, ultimately, very disappointed. It just didn't live up to our memories/expectations. So, I was somewhat apprehensive when I wandered into the new Giordano's on 14th St. It wasn't for dinner; I had already been fed while photographing an event next door. However, I was able to pick up one of their frozen Chicago-style pies to take home. I chatted with the staff and learned that all their ingredients and the frozen pies come from Chicago. That's a great way to ensure an authentic experience. That experience was wonderful. I grabbed one from the refrigerator by the door... no waiting. It was only $22, much less than if I had ordered one they had cooked, and much, MUCH less than if I had one mailed to me from Chicago. Turns out it is exactly the same thing I would have received if I had had one mailed. Anyway, they gave me a nice, reusable freezer bag, and it stayed frozen even after a several-block walk, metro ride, and drive home. I have tried their mail-order pies in the past, and they turned out pretty good. This time I chose to ignore the cooking instructions on the package and tried the ones provided by AI. The results were even better: - Preheat the oven thoroughly to 375 (as opposed to 350). - Put a baking steel on a LOWER rack while preheating. - Put the FROZEN pizza on the CENTER rack, above the baking sheet. - Cook until the crust is deeply browned, even if that takes a few extra minutes. If you have a thermometer, cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. For me, that took about 50 minutes. - Let it rest 10-15 minutes. This is very important, to let the cheese set. The result was delicious and very Giordano's-like. I will be grabbing more of these whenever I'm in their neighborhood. *If you're ever in the Chicago area, here are the top five pizza places, best to not quite best, as I remember them. 1) Gino's West 2) Lou Malnati's 3) Due's Pizza (If you're at Uno's, it's worth the short walk) 4) Uno's (But only the one in Chicago) 5) Giordano's In their defense, Girodano's has the largest reach and greatest consistency across the Chicago area, so it's the one that you're most likely to encounter. And, you won't go far wrong when you do. read more

Love that they're here, but they are NOT ready for lunch service. Chaos at the carry-out desk. No line, people just cutting in front of others. No urgency by the staff. I know the pizza takes 45 minutes to prepare, but waited an additional 30 minutes in person waiting for my order. To top it off, when I finally got it, my pizza was cold. No utensils or napkins. I'm sure they'll get it together eventually, but they have a LOT of work to do before I'd go back. read more

The food was disgusting order was wrong and incomplete. Waited 2.5 hours for food to be delivered. Ordered at 10:30am didn't receive food until 1:05pm. I ordered a cheese pizza and it had only sauce on it. Ordered wings and they were not cooked. Fries never came. Terrible read more

Beware. It can take up. 45 mins to 1hour to get a pizza here. Our family went to Giordano's earlier this week for a late dinner. Pros are that it's open late, the server let us know that the pizza would take long so we ordered ice cream and drink drinks in the meantime ,and the pizza itself was pretty good. Not the best we've had but tasty. Also they allow dogs to sit in the outdoor seating area. The cons were not only did the pizza take exceptionally long to come out (other customers at nearby tables were upset too) but our server was borderline negligent in terms of attending to us. Our kids were exhausted. Our drinks took forever to come out, and we could see her socializing with other people at the bar inside through the window instead of actually collecting the drinks and delivering them. In addition when we were ready to leave, we asked her for the check and again we could just see her chatting at the bar with The device that you used to pay with in her hand instead of coming back to us. If you wanna play charades in order to get a server to come over, this is the place for you. We ended up gesturing from the window and waving our hands where we were seated outside for her to come out. She just did not seem to have any sense of urgency or awareness that people were waiting on her and offered no acknowledgment even when she came out and saw us. read more

Me and my friend ordered the Classic Chicago style pizza. I'm not usually a fan, but this has exceeded my expectations. Cheesy, crispy, and flavorful. You could taste the pepperoni which I wasn't able to do in other places. Good portion sizes as well and would recommend. Once we ordered, it did take about an hour for the deep dish pizza to be ready, so expect that. read more

Food is good. However, there was an obvious lack of communication between kitchen and those at front desk. We sat there for an hour and 10 minutes waiting for our food and it was sitting in the window the whole time. Also a need for better professionalism.

Probably the worst experience in a while. Ive been here since 3:45 and this pizza came out 30 minutes ago which means i waited 2 hours to even get served. Terrible service. Will never come back even after the entire meal was comped. Literally had to go inside to ask for a refill read more

I don't know if it's because it's new but waiting 1hr for a $50 pizza that wasn't good at all. I literally threw it away because it was terrible. The hosts tried their best to keep people calm for the long wait. The manger was overwhelmed and I felt bad for her she seemed stressed and was not being polite as I think she could be. I had high hopes but I think I could get a better pizza at dominos and get it in 10 minutes for $10 not 1hour for $50 . Long story short I was underwhelmed and this place is not worth the time and price. read more

Had late lunch on Thursday July 2 and this was my first time to the new DC location. it was delicious and had great service from our waitress Andretta and the rest of the team. The glass of sangria was prepared exceptionally and paired well with the deep dish pizza. This location will shave off about 400 miles trip to IL so glad this location opened in the Mid-Atlantic. read more

My family of six went to their soft opening and we were really impressed. Every server there, including those bussing tables, was polite, friendly, and very helpful. The pizzas do take some time to come out but I appreciate that because that means they are made fresh. In the meantime the appetizers we ate while waiting were delicious. I like that there are three different styles of pizza to choose from and other dishes so that you weren't stuck with just ordering deep dish pizza (which was very good). I'm impressed with the portion sizes as well. It's a little loud in there but that also could have been due to the hustle and bustle of the soft opening. We will definitely go again. read more

cold pizza for lunch. lunch special cheese pizza was cold. not any melting cheese, no pull, what the heck?

The Calabrian chill honey wings were amazing and the traditional thin crust pepperoni pizza was decent. I am not a fan of the stuffed deep dish! They messed up on our order but they ended correcting it on the bill. If you get the deep dish make sure it has lots of other food items in it!!! The stuffed deep dish is just way too much dough. read more

I went here in Chicago and it was very good, when I came to this location it was very mid. We waited almost an hour for 2 pizzas and they were made incorrectly. The staff was nice when we broke a glass. Other than that the food was not good for the amount of money and time it took. We ordered a simple thin crust sausage mushroom and banana pepper pizza. They forgot the mushrooms and banana peppers. read more

I am a big fan of Chicago. The family goes there every summer just to enjoy the city and the people. We normally eat Lou Malnati's or Pizano's Chicago Pizza but since Giordanos was now in DC we thought we would give it a try. It missed the mark for us across the board. I ordered a thin crust Pizza and a deep dish was brought out in 5 to 10 minutes. When I told them of the discrepancy, They said if I wanted a thin crust it would take 20 minutes which suggests they've got the deep dish pizzas already prepared. Also the Chicago vibe was definitely missing. Just not what we were hoping for. read more

Horrible fucking service almost killed myself seven times my cousin got a seizure because of the lights. The temperature inside is about -5 fucking degrees. Please don't come here unless you have about 75 fucking years to kill . Also, my friend had to break up with his girlfriend because they were supposed to meet after dinner, but unfortunately he never left the restaurant as he still waiting for his fucking food. Kind of crazy how the White House is right down the road and there's such a shitty restaurant. it almost feels like you're eating in Somalia with the amount of glass breaking as it's similar to bombs going off . also bring your Antarctica gear as you'll need it because the restaurant set at nice warm -5. . My buddy has to get arthritis neck surgery because he turned around so many times to check if the imaginary pizza was there.
