REVIEWS OF Giordano's IN Illinois

Tamas Vilaghy

This was a mixed experience. The place looked more like a Pizza Hut, so not my style. Pizza is overpriced. Lasagna and the chicken wings were very good. Deep dish pizza takes 45 mins which is ok at a nice place and larger company, but the 2 of us didn't want to wait that long.

Jason Jimenez

Pizza and the setting here is above par. Visited on a Thursday. The service was very welcoming and observant. This place has an awesome feel to it. Atmosphere is similar to a place in Columbus I loved.

Richard Hale

server was the best I've had for keeping the drinks full at all times. pizza us specialty, had thin crust didn't care for crust but sauce and flavor was good

Tracy Vendiola

Typical chain restaurant but a must go to in Chicago. Deep dish Chicago style pizza. There wasn't much of a wait to be seated, but it does take about 45 to 60 mins for your pizza. Great place for first time deep dish eaters like myself. The wait for it took so long, the pizza itself was delicious but I could really only have max 2 pieces as it was very filling. Good service and the hostess even recommended us ordering the pizza before being seated as he warned it takes a while but by the time we decided on the type of pizza we were seated.

Francois Liard

Very good pizzas but the service is a little bit long. The staff is very friendly and efficient

Vinoth Kumar

Deep dish pizza was good. It takes 45 minutes to an hour to prepare the deep dish pizza. Plan your visit accordingly. Also their sampler starter is good too.

Tom Feary

A local person recommended Giordano's. It was good but not the best Chicago style pizza we had on our trip. Salad was basic. Cheese curds were the highlight.

Omar Mall

Sandy was amazing!!!! Hilarious waitress. Good energy. Made my experience wonderful. Pizza is also great a must try when you come.

Adam & Joc T

Customer service is not bad. The deep dish pizzas are amazing but wait time for the pizza is almost an hour. If you don't mind waiting, I would highly recommend this place.

Martha Carrillo

Tastiest deep dish pizza of the zone. The cheese and marinara sauce is soooo delicious. Choose wisely what size would you like, we ordered a medium and were full with only one slice. Service was regular, but pizza spectacular.

sai krishna

Definitely long wait time , taste was decent and not great as I expected

Jarett Fields

Giordano's is a must-have in Chicago! The pizza is excellent and it's a great place to watch sports, take the family out, or dine alone. They have all sorts of delicious food options. I usually order a personal deep dish pizza. The marinara sauce, cheese, and crust are perfection! The photo is a personal deep dish 6" pizza.

Jessica Diep

This is a good place to try if you're looking for a franchise chain that serves up deep dish pizza, simply because they have so many restaurants for access. I find that the deep dish is good when it's warm, but doesn't taste good as you keep eating since it gets cold. But overall this is average.

Katie McPhee

The manager was super accommodating to us(ordered take out earlier but decided to eat in) The pizzas take about 30 minutes to bake(they warn you on the website) The food was amazing. We tried the thin crust and ofcourse a deep dish! Highly reccomend!! Also our server was very friendly and attentive!

Jacob McNeal

Ordered a deep dish pizza. A first time try. Definitely delicious. I had carry out, but everything looked clean. Was able to get my order without any hassle.

Faylene Rosetta

For a first timer in Chicago and deep dish pizza, this place was amazing! Uber driver recommended it and stated this was a really good place and he was not lying!

Jessica Kane

From NY and wanted to know what the deep dish Chicago Pizza craze is all about. Well this is the place to go. Take about 45 min just to cook Chicago Pizza so be prepared to wait anywhere you go. You order first the. Wait for a table. Wait time is about 30-45 min. So your pizza is ready by the time you are seated. I am still a NY Pizza girl but this was yummy and we are it all. Got meat on meat on meat.

Sandra Franco Iborra

Typical deep dish pizza in Chicago. Very turistic but after trying the pizza I understand why. It is delicious! You can order some pre-made styles or be original and choose your own style. It takes a while because they bake it on the moment. I totally recommend it!

IsHAAN Inamdar

Great Service! But the menu is HORRIBLE. 45 MIN TO GET A DEEPDISH PIZZAa

Girish Ramchandran

We have never had Deep Dish Pizza before and we were told, Chicago is the place for it ... And if you are in Chicago, Giordano's is the place to try it out. Lovely, sumptuous pizzas with ample toppings. It does take an hour for the Pizza to come, but it is well worth the wait. The Giordano team is very friendly and helpful too. Note: Make sure you get there before you get hungry, as it takes about an hour for the Pizza to come. It's a very popular place, so also take into account potential wait time if you decide to go during primetime lunchtime!

Arianna Howell

Nice spot for tasty Pizza. Next time I'll be back with my coworkers. This place has a cool feel to it. Similar to a place in Denver I loved.

John Wheby

Some of the best deep dish in Chicago. Good service. Nice atmosphere. Great downtown location. Would definitely come back.

Raquel Kovacik

Stopped in after an afternoon of sightseeing, & were so pleased with our choice. Our server, Ryan, was so pleasant and really raised the level of our experience. The pizza was amazing, we have nothing like it in Houston. Thank you Ryan!

Ainsley Collins

Food is AMAZING, especially the deep dish pizza (which is the main thing) but service is terrible! Barely heard from our server and when we asked for something he acted as if it was a hassle. And toilets were dirty and overflowing, only one working with huge lines in the ladies.

Michael Uy

The pizza was good but it felt mass produced. This felt like a tourist attraction more than a restaurant. I feel I can get a more authentic Chicago pizza experience elsewhere. But try it. I mean it wasn't bad

Todd Boodt

Awesome atmosphere and great service to go with the food.

Adam Faber

If you want deep dish pizza, you can't really go wrong here. My only beef is that their crust isn't amazing. It is dry and kinda mealy at the edges. But their fillings... Wow.

Rodney L Hendricks II

Our waiter was great he kept our drinks filled promptly as well. The pizza tasted great and was quite filling. It was a little pricey. Later, I had a lot of stomach pain. Hoping if I ate there again I would not have the same experience

Rene Casas

As a pizza lover....This is one of the best pizza i've ever tried. The ingredients and the quality of the pie was in another level. I can tell you that every 45 minutes waiting for the Chicago Original Pie was worth it. I truly recommend this restaurant and i'll not only give them 5 stars this is a 10 star all around experience. A++

Daniel Torino

Food was reheated, frozen crud. Terrible sauce. Even worse dough. Avoid if possible. Restaurant is only good for hype.

Jay F

Excellent pizza! Really cool staff too...they explained everything when we signed in. We’re glad we ordered our pizza before we were seated.....saved a ton of time. Our server was awesome. We ordered a family size Caesar salad and it was okay. The pizza was amazing, though! We’re so glad we choose Giordano’s Pizza for our first Chicago pizza experience. Thanks!

Gerry Boire

Excellent service. Awesome food. Great intro to Chicago pizza

Lori E Hile

I have yet to try the pizza—we’re still waiting—but I can say that the air-conditioning in this restaurant is painfully cold. I asked the hostess there was anything they could do to make the restaurant even a little bit warmer – – and she immediately said no, indicating they’ve been asked this question before. When you have to wait 45 minutes for pizza in freezing cold air, it’s no longer fun. My niece and I are taking turns going outside to wait, where it’s actually a reasonable temperature. The hostess said it was a state regulation that restaurants be kept this cold, which is a bunch of b.s. Will never be back.

Theinsomniac826

First of all, I'm hungry. Second of all, I'm hungry. This restaurant has consistently given great fast service for years. I have zero complaints. I was there today at noon. The food was so good that I'm going again tomorrow! Great management. The restaurant is very organized. This is a great business. You will not be disappointed.

Nancy Jemimah

Worst place to dine in! Was sitting for almost 15 minutes we finished our pizza for the bill. The way pizza was served was like we were getting it for free. Server just threw the pizza on table. Horrible customer service. Will never return back any day any time in life.

Pat Diaz

I hear a lot of people put down Giordano's compared to the other deep dish pizza places in Chicago, but I have to say, this was easily the cheesiest deep dish I have ever had. it was so delicious, and the sauce is really flavorful. if you love cheese, go here! I got the Cheese deep dish with Pepperoni and it did not disappoint! We went around 11am on Sunday and it got pretty busy around noon, but there are tons of places to sit. The pizza takes about 45 min to cook, but it was worth every minute we waited. Word of advice - get the Small size instead of the personal size so you get a better Cheese:Crust ratio.

Clay

I came here on a Saturday evening with my girlfriend. We got in and were sat within 15 minutes. We ordered before we sat because deep dish takes 45 minutes to an hour, so plan accordingly. The pizza was incredible. Every single bite was just as good as the one before it. We couldn’t stop ourselves from saying how good it was. I ended eating too much because I couldn’t stop myself until it was all gone. Price-wise, I don’t know if you’re going to get a better deal in the city. You can realistically feed three people a great meal for $25. We ate the pizza between the two of us, but I was more than satisfied through two slices. If you’re in the area and looking for some pizza, Giordano’s is the way to go.

Josh Bielak

Freaking love this place. End of my work week and decided to come in for a Deep Dish. It was perfect. Great atmosphere. You gotta wait for it to cook, so come with friends to chat and past the time. I highly recommend it.

Luzviminda Bayani

A must-taste Chicago pride! Leans towards the salty side, but the pizza is undoubtedly succulent! The serving is big....even the small size with 6 slices was too much for us, three Asians. Price is just right. Restaurant service, though, is rather slow with only a few servers waiting on the many customers.

Tater B

Walked down from the train station on a layover. Best deep dish pizza I have ever had! Staff of friendly and let us know the time to bake was longer then regular pizza. Which after it was said makes sense but I didn't think of that beforehand. Wow. The pizza sauce is very flavorful! We tend to order just plain cheese to see how good the dough and sauces are. This is towards the top!! I still lovely NY thin pizza, but when in town you must try Giordano!

Vangster bls

Great place to stop by eat and enjoy yourself. Deep dish does take quite a bit to bake. Other wise if you don't want to wait go with thin crust. Awesome staff, kind, friendly, and very helpful for first timers. There is a large to medium size dinning area. On the other size is a bar.

Krys Wood

This place is absolutely fantastic. I'm here from Va Beach and this place makes me not want VA pizza anymore. Jesse was one of the best waiters I've ever had. He greeted us with water in hand which was perfect because we had been sightseeing for a good part of the day. He checked on us and was extremely pleasant. This is definitely a must visit when you go to Chicago.

Stephanie Bothell

My first taste of Chicago style pizza did not disappoint. So delicious! Our server Naomi was fantastic. She took great care of us.

Dwight VanTol

Love to sit in a window booth and people watch while eating a deepdish pie.

Dale Wirges

The mozzarella cheese on the pizza tasted like butter and the sauce had just the right amount of spices and chunks of tomatoes to boot. I will put this pizza in my top 3 of all time. Restaurant was busy so it took 30 minutes plus for food but it was worth the wait

Stanley Grove

They did not bother me with service, but was always there when I needed, or just before. Everyone that came in seemed to be pleased with the food. If I return to Chicago, I will visit here for food! Price was great for the amount of food and portions I received! 5 stars for sure!

Peter Johnson

Some of the best people and pizza I have ever come in contact with

Alisa Kuchiki

Pizza is usually pretty good. However, the customer service is lacking. The lady at the front has an attitude problem if you have a question. Then the GM is not a nice lady and is rude. No one asked for her in the first place. She came up to us to let us know if we sent in a complaint that it would just come to her anyway. All we asked for was a number for a complaint. Another had already walked up to ask for the reason and then she invited herself over to let us know a complaint would not be heard since it goes to her anyway. This was so unnecessary and unprofessional for supposedly a GM. Smh

Stephanie Leak

What can I say? The food was freaking amazing. Had to wait 45 minutes for the pizza but it was every bit worth the wait.

Cheryl Chatzis

Excellent as always. Wonderful food and service.

Kristina Carrasquillo

The food was the only good thing about Giordano's. Took care of a group who cut in front first and the wait was over an hour after we were told 30 to 40 minutes. The people from Chicago push and shove you because it's so crowded. To bad we paid for the pizza an hour ago, or I would have left by now.

Tara Sekora

Exited to find a gluten free pizza option. Hot wings were also good. Would recommend.

Charger Forme

The pizza was good, but I had to add spice to make it tasty

Mike Montgomery

Love the deep dish. Great atmosphere. Gotta come here when in Chicago.

Kali Berlik

You Can't go to Chicago and not get deep dish! This is the place to go! The veggie pizza is the bomb and the chicken sausage (topping) is delicious! I just learned it's made in house, so even better. Highly recommend! Don't go if youre in a rush, deep dish takes around 45 minutes to cook but it's so worth it.

Robert Wallace

Had a great lunch here yesterday. Naomi was our server and was very friendly, helpful and communicated well regarding our order. First time eating a real Chicago style pizza. Was amazing.

Cheri Willard

We had a great experience with the staff. We had a train to catch and were seated and served extremely quickly. The staff was very friendly. The hostess offered to keep our luggage behind her desk. Our waitress Ljuba was very friendly and understood we were on a tight schedule. The pizza was great! The beer was cold. Just a great overall experience. We highly recommend this restaurant.

Ryan Larson

Delicious! Always stop in when I am in town. While I am a huge fan of thin crust, I do believe that the - Thick, almost casserole style represented here is great as well. It does take some time to get your pizza here because the bake time is pretty long, if you get here early, its usually not too long of a wait. Cool restaurant and nice staff.

Scott Genberg

Good food. First time in Chicago and trying out the famous deep dish pizza. We got a table near the window with the red neon sign (that's why the picture is red). There was a bit of a wait at dinner time on a Saturday night (imagined that!). The service was excellent, the beer was cold, and the pizza was delicious. When we come back to Chicago, we're definitely stopping by again.

Elizabeth Paddock

The pizza was amazing. The staff were great. They lived to my expectations.

chris cavins

I was only in Chicago for one night and felt that it was necessary to try some Chicago Deep Dish Pizza. I reached out to friends and a couple of them recommended Giordano’s so I gave it a try. The crust was perfect and the cheese was a great consistency. Overall I would definitely eat here again when I come back to Chicago.

Tom Shelton

It's worth the wait but give yourself plenty of time to eat. Very lively atmosphere. A most eat at top 10 in Chicago

Joel

Very good for the very first time. I recommend it and there is a wait time while its just but the pizza itself takes time to cook so it cooks as you wait. It works out very well.

Shelbie Weiland

Got seated relatively soon on a Saturday night. Service was very good. Pizza crust was a little crumbly but overall not too bad.

Steve & Pam Passey

Typical Chicago deep dish. Very good veggie

VishnuPriya Kokkula

Best known for its Deep Dish Pizza.. a must try if you're in Chicago ! Try the plain cheese pizza and it's heaven

Zaara Khan

A medium deep dish pizza takes 45mins to bake.. I was almost leaving as I was short on time but then I was served with a small deep dish pizza with a side of garlic fries.. That made my day..

Kaweewee Boy

I've never personally tried deep dish pizza prior to coming here, but I must say, Giordano's has some really great deep dish pizzas. Although the wait was fairly long (45 minutes to an hour of waiting), the kind staff and the food we had in the end made it worthwhile. I would like to give props to the guy who served us, though I didn't get his name, he was very nice and talked in a very clear and enthusiastic voice. If I ever do go back to Chicago sometime in the future, Giordano's is on my list of places to eat!

Laura Rainier

Delicious!!! The deep dish was divine and so were the cheese curds. It was crowded, but food came faster than quoted. Def would go back.

Dr. Kenny Makit

Very disappointed! They use frozen pizza dough which ruins the whole pizza! The pizza tasted like a cheap frozen pizza. To make it worse, they charge high end prices. They should be ashamed of themselves! I give them one star because the service was decent. I didn’t expect such bad pizza in Chicago! Never again!

Shifa SK

We had ordered cheese deep dish pizza ., small size .. we were just 2 people , it was weekend ., we had to wait like 70-80 minutes to get that .. hell lot of crowd , n pizza had way too much cheese , its what we had asked for but it was so heavy , we wer not able to eat it full .. hope we have offers on Saturday too .. n they should give some sauses or ketchup along with this

Shamim Chaudhry

Great food, service not so quick on weekend. Pizza was great, staff very friendly and helpful. Estimated 15 minutes took 50 minutes. But it was a busy Saturday night.

Lauren Martin

My daughter and I had a long layover at Union Station so we decided to stop in to try Chicago style Pizza. Giordanos was the only within walking and I am so glad we stopped. From walking in the front door to leaving the staff was amazing. The host stored our bags for us. Samuel our server was attentive and quick, friendly and efficient, he was truly fantastic. We had the Supreme Deep Dish and it was cheesy, saucy magic. Also my 4.5 year old highly recommends taking some home and saving room for the ice cream.

TAMMY ALLARD

Amazing food. Great staff. Decent prices. Beautiful place. 4 of us and we ordered. Spaghetti, pizza, boneless chicken,, beef sandwich and their amazing cookie with ice cream

Jheury Feliz

Very clean and friendly a very attentive staff. With amazing food

Ryan Mulholland

I wanted to try authentic Chicago Style Deep Dish, and Giordano's did not disappoint. Perfect crust, plenty of flavorful cheese and fillings and a great sauce. If you're debating which deep dish you want to try... End the debate. Fantastic pizza!

Jess W

The service is great. The pizza is delicious. This location has way more seating than others do check out this one if you want to sit down and enjoy t hmm e pizza diner experience.

David Zhao

The deep dish Chicago classic lived up to its hype in terms of taste. Our waitress, Sandy, was perfectly friendly, felt like family. She was just the right amount of attentive when we had food too.

Ana Cunha

Kitchen made an honest mistake with our pizza, accidentally made the veggie one instead of spinach, but then to our surprise we were offered both pizzas on the house as a make-up. Honest mistake. Pizza is also very good, deep dish ($$) is AMAZING even though it takes 45 minutes, but it is absolutely worth every minute of the wait. Waitress was super nice and enthusiastic, and was very knowledgeable about the menu. Greatest restaurant in Chicago!

Meredith McCaskey

Giordanos’s on JACKSON is amazing! Head to the lounge - you will NOT be disappointed! Francisco might be the best bartender we’ve ever had!

Violeta Godinez

Amazing staff! Our server was very attentive and gave a perfect service to us! He would check up on how our food was and if we needed anything. We also noticed one of the bus boy(grown man), there wasn’t a moment where we saw him slow down or take a rest, those are the type of employees we really appreciate! Very nice manager as well! Great service, highly recommend this location!

Helen Harper

I love this place! Very good dip dish pizza and yummy garlic bread!

Nykkita Riveras

Great staff and great food. I had the ranch dry rub wings, garlic parmesan fries, and a personal pizza with mushrooms, spinach, bacon, and pesto chicken. And for dessert had the caramel skillet cookie. Everything was great! I will definitely be going back before I leave. Everything came hot and fresh.

Shawn Eicher

This is almost a MUST for any Chicago visit. great place to get deep dish Chicago pizza. Be prepared to wait 30-45 minutes if you are eating in, because pizza this good takes time.

Adam Caplan

Exactly as I expect, but maybe a little larger. The Chicago style deep dish isn't my favorite pizza type in general, but these were good. Service was great, and they had a couple of local beers on tap. I definitely felt like a box was checked having a pizza at "Giordano's"

Alligator Fan

Giordano's is why Chicago is the best city for pizza! Great deep dish! Took a friend to this location who had never been to Chicago before, needless to say he was impressed by the pizza. Take that New York!

Ana Henry

My top place for pizza. Great location to meet with friends. Certainly worth a return trip. Prices are reasonable I would say. Menu is like a place in San Francisco I loved.

Prerana Samant

The deep dish pizza is speciality if Chicago and this place serves really awesome deep dishes. It is filled with cheese and toppings. We also had oregano fries which were served with ranch and tasted good. The ambience is superb. They take little longer to bring in the order but worth the wait.

Wildwood Video Archive

Oh my gosh how amazing is this place. While the wait might be long it is totally worth it. Understand that one pizza pie can serve three people

Samuel Waggoner

My son requested Traditional Chicago Deep-Dish Pizza and the Marriott recommended Giordano’s Pizza. A two block walk landed us at the Restaurant just before the dinner crowd would arrive. We ordered two appetizers and two pizzas - one medium and one small, drinks and desserts. The appetizers took about half and hour and the pizzas took about 50 minutes. Not a fast food place so sit back and relax and have a drink. The pizza was worth the wait.

Peter Stone

Deep dish pizza was very tasty, but it takes quite a while to come out once ordered. Be prepared for a 30 minute wait! Otherwise it has a relaxed atmosphere with lots of TVs showing various sports and entertainment

William Clark

The pizza here is great. It’s very saucy and flavourful. You should definitely share as the slices are huge!

Shreya Shetty

Deep dish pizza!!!! It's worth it to visit this place to have this. The staff were courteous and service was good. The pizza was amazing.

Sonia Cajigas

So a couple of weeks ago I was upset about my salad, but I'm happy to let you know that Giordano's reached out to me to address the issue and I'm very satisfied and happy with how they treated me and valued me as a customer. Now I can return and continue to chow down on the tastiest extra thin pizza and amazing salads! You won't be disappointed. It's everything you heard!

ahmed ali

Nice food and good customer service.

Tate Schwede

Great staff and delicious food, you may have to wait a while for your pizza but it is so worth it!

Altan Can ŞIVGIN

One of the most important things to do in Chicago is to go here and taste Stuffed Cheese Pizza. The best pizza that I have ever eat.

Eric Rost

Order placing was odd but it is effiecient concidering it location and high traffic. Food was overpriced and extremely forgettable. No flavor at all.

Anthony Banks

First time back in Chicago in awhile and had to grab some deep dish. Service and food was amazing, left with a super full stomach. One weird item was that a server did mention to someone who had never been to Chicago that Lou Malnati's was better. I found that odd seeing that they were talking about the competitor while on the clock but other than that, great experience!

Oles Grinchak

Delicious deep dish pizza like no other! Expect a long wait if you're heading out around busy hours but definitely expect the wait to be worth it!

Blake Overton

Food: 5 stars. Broccoli on/in a pizza? Dude. So good. Service: 5.5 stars. Jesus R. is a real good bro. Top notch all the way. I tipped on top of the added gratuity. Making a reservation? -7.5 stars. I called, they said I had to fill out a form in an email. They emailed me a scanned form. I respond with all the information and get no response. I call to confirm they got it, but only the manager can do that and she’s obviously slammed because it’s a busy place, so she doesn’t get to the phone. So I had to walk all the way down there to get the thing taken care of. This is on corporate. We’re in 2019 guys. Online forms are real easy; your managers shouldn’t be sending a scanned piece of paper in an email to make a reservation! Total stars: 3.

Sandeep Pinjerla

Best pizza in town but it can be super heavy. If you are not hungry but still wanna taste it, this mini is the way to go. Small but sufficient. Service can take time so be ready for the waiting.

Raymond Cordero

Good food didnt appreciate the view of the homeless in front, parked out waiting for leftovers...small sausage pepperoni and onions forgot the spinach

Nilesh Boddapati

If you’re new to Chicago or just visiting the place all you have to know about is the DEEP DISH PIZZA. One of the Chicago’s signature food which you should never miss. One whole medium size Pizza would fill 2 people. The tase is completely next level I really have no words to describe.

Santiago Tha Wayne Carter 6

Awesome pizza at a great price! Not too bad for city standards. Especially good when coming back down from the willis tower

KB Williams

Love lots of cheese on my pizza! Great atmosphere in Chi-Town!

Brion Scheidel

Delicious as always! Hard to beat the deep dish pepperoni.

• JayD3vo •

Amazing pizza, I never had deep dish before but there was so much damn pizza, and mozzarella cheese. Definitely worth the wait. If you need a quick bite you’ll have too wait about an hour, so not quite a good place if you’re super hungry, but if yo I want too fill up. This is definitely the place.

Ashley Antionette

Great service and great food! I appreciate that you get to order before you sit as deep dish pizza can take 45 minutes to an hour to make. You barely notice it once you're seated and have an appetizer! It definitely a must try!! We had the Chicago Classic!

Jcalion

AWESOME DEEP DISH PIZZA!! From Oregon and never had Chicago pizza. We picked it randomly bc we were hungry walking around downtown, and were very very happy with the quality and taste! Wish we could get this pizza in Eugene, OR

Mark Milicic

The pizza was excellent. Would recommend going there.

The Fare Player

There are MUCH better Giordano’s than this one! Being so close to Union Station, this one is overrun with tourists, and the quality suffers. Go to the one near Millennium Park for much better food.

Michael Thrasher

Incredible!!! All the food is exactly what you want and need. Portions are good to large and the service has always been good. Our server AMANDA...was INCREDIBLE!! The short wait qas worth it, although you always get a table quicker than what they say. Kids keep asking to go back, always a good sign. Enjoy Chicago pizza and Italian that will satisfy. May not be the "best" according to some, but I would challenge people to find a better food experience overall. There is a reason people flock here, that are locals and tourists. If you get Amanda, consider yourself lucky.

McCaellen Coroy

I stopped in here with a friend and it was unbelievably good. The pizza was awesome and the atmosphere was great. If you are looking to try a deep dish this is a classic. I would suggest this place to anyone. Bring friends the pizza is HUGE!

Shrdellah Buack

I love the atmosphere at Giordano's and the deep dish pizza is out of this world. Highly recommend when you're in the mood for real pizza.

Alex K

This place was recommended by Eurostar hotels few blocks away as where we stayed, we enjoyed our time at Giordano’s and pizza was delicious. We got the deep dish and it was just right, not too extremely thick and not too thin, it was very good and good selections of beer to go with.

G Parker

OMG it was so amazing. First time to Chicago and I came across this place. It was really good!

Delainie Maynard

Good pizza. Don't mind waiting for the deep dish pizza since it's real good. Would recommend this to friends. Also would recommend the garlic bread

Kok Siang Ng

The pizza was good but need to wait for sometimes.

Giovanni De Vita

Fantastic pizza. If you're looking for a delicious deep dish pizza, this is your place. The dough is delicious and the pizza is full of great cheese and sauce. The one negative that comes to mind is that it took almost an hour to receive our order, which feels like a common occurrence if the place is busy

Shastri Ram

Giordano's lived up to all the hype and great reviews. The deep dish pizza was amazing. We also had some delicious desserts and wings. The wings were some of the best I've ever had. The staff was also friendly and helpful. I had to deduct one star because we ordered a couple of mojitos and the drink consisted of more ice than liquid. Two pulls from the straw and the drink was nearly done. We also had quite a wait for the pizza and wings to be made but I understood that since the restaurant was highly patronized. However it is something to keep in mind: don't go there on an empty stomach. All in all I would definitely go back there again.

David Smith

Some of the finest pizza you'll ever eat!

Kevin K

Best deep dish pizza in Chicago! It took nearly an hour before we finally got our order, but it was well worth the wait. Quality ingredients and a unique texture to the crust. Will definitely be back for more.

Erick Pochon

Was recommended to girlfriend by a coworker when they found out we would be in Chicago on a layover. 10/10, highly recommend. Not only was the pizza fantastic, the service was exceptional. We had initially ordered online for pick-up, but the manager was more than happy to accommodate us when we arrived and changed our minds.

Lucas Marquezin

Lovely pizza and fair prices. Also they offer a lunch combo for about 10 bucks that comes with a lot (really, a lot!) of fries and a small deep dish pizza that really is truly satisfying! The only thing that didn't go so well is their waiting times to come with the bill even though the restaurant was not crowded at the time and I was kind of waiting for a little bit. Other than that it was good!

Steve Mohr

Got seated rather quickly. Ordered a large two-topping deep dish. Arrived in 45 minutes. Played Charades while we waited.

Jake L.

Awesome deep dish pie! I made it a mission to try Chicago's deep dish on my most recent business trip. Last time I had it was about 25 years ago so I forgot how awesome these things are. Since I was here solo I ordered the 6" Chicago style and it was just perfect both in flavor and amount of calories I was willing to commit to it! Gregorio was my server and he was absolutely fantastic. One minor quirk for which I'm not deducting any stars; the tiramisu was half frozen... This is a pizza joint and for pizza and service they get 5 stars. Thanks Gladys for a short chat! I'll be back here next month.

I really like Giordano's! They have best pizza in the city! It is a bit pricey but definitely worth it! I wen't to this location yesterday evening and as usually I enjoyed the food. However, I was a bit disappointed by the service that me and my friend received. I felt like the hostess gave us the worst sitting in the restaurant (even though there was bunch of free space). In addition, our waiter seemed not to be caring at all. If you are looking for tasty pizza and good service I would suggest hitting Giordano's on E Randolph!

Food was excellent but the best part was our server Sandy! She was not only helpful with our million questions but also super friendly. We care a few minutes before opening and she’s been incredible the entire time. She entertained us with pictures and boomerangs since we were newbies here. She’s someone that you need to keep around! Thanks Sandy from Giordanos on Franklin (Chicago)

Delicious pizza but it’s simple it’s Giordanos the best pizza en Chicago! 1000% recommended

Joshua Shields

Excellent food. Wait staff was very helpful. Great environment. Definitely be prepared for the wait on the pizza cooking. 45 minutes give or take

Crimson Bullet

This is Chicago deep dish! GREAT FOOD! The cheese pull when our waitress cut a slice still lingers fondly in my memory.

Kayhan Gürhan

Milano first and here is second famous pizza place

Kieran Rons

A must-go place! The deep dish pizza was fantastic! The Buffalo wings were delicious and service was top! Make this a definite visit if you're in Chicago!

Like most people from out of town looking for a good Chicago pizza almost everyone recommended Giodanos. Albeit it takes 50 minutes from order to table it was well worth it. The crust is amazing and overall a 10

Best pizza I ever head!! From this day I am going to have only deep dish pizza ❤️

Jay Kadlec

Wife very much enjoyed their thin crust gluten free pizza, actually tasted like a pizza! Note to others they don't have a deep dish version for GF but I had the gluten one (Chicago deep dish). Tasted good but for the hype I wasn't blown away. Good service and obviously a popular place! I would go back.

Deborah Perdomo

Pizza and Italian salad very good. Service., 2/5 stars. Clean handicapp Dr I badly. Large amount of seating. Expect long wait 45 min. plus for deep dish pizza.

Billy Jones

Awesome experience! Manager was super helpful. Would definitely come back whenever i'm in town.

Martin Hatch

Excellent chicago pizza. All ingredients has good flavor. Great crust without being overly thick like some. Was my favorite out of 4 places we went for pizza.

Joy Vaz

The long wait times are worth it. A must if you're a tourist visiting Chicago! I recommend going online to order ahead for pick up.

Andrew Krueger

Still my favorite pizza in all the world. Nothing beats Giordano’s deep dish. Whenever I pass through Chicago, this is the one place I will stop each and every time. The staff here was excellent, as they even offered to store my suitcase behind the counter while I ate. Stayed here for a few hours.

anna alexander

If you're looking for authentic, DELICIOUS, deep dish you MUST visit!

steven hull

Went during a busy afternoon, thought we would have to wait forever for our food. Ended up getting our deep dish in 40 minutes AND a manager, John, came and gave us a ton of places to visit during our stay in Chicago. Didn't have to do that, but it was appreciated. Oh yeah, tons of cheeeeese, good pizza!!

Andi Cantu

Ate here on our first day visiting Chicago. A small pizza is like a large because it is so thick and rich. Prepare for a 45 minute wait for your pizza to be made from scratch and it’s worth waiting for. Service is great and ambiance is cosy and is in the middle of a great area to shop.

Tommy Duque

Some of the best pizza I’ve ever had! I recommend this place but it is always full so be prepared to wait.

Chris Hubert

Was in with family from out of town. Had a fantastic experience. Restaurant is very clean, staff is friendly, service was excellent. This is a very well run facility. I have been in the restaurant business for more than 15 years and appreciate great service!

Albert Lam

Waiter was super friendly and attentive. The calamari starter had good variety, but it was on the greasy side. The thin crust pizza was good too, the crust was like a semihard biscuit and the toppings were solid. The entire experience was nice, the food was just a bit too greasy for me.

Gary Walter

Great pizza! Very, very noisy! Multiple TVs, plus music overhead - and the dinner crowd!! Really?!? The TVs were distracting - the noise was exhausting. Very friendly staff!

Raymond Garza

Naomi was very attentive to us. Fast service and great recommendations on the wings. Pizza was the best I ever had. Deep dish is amazing. Now I'm sleepy

Riley Merritt

The food was great, the service was attentive, and I like how the place was set up. The place was pretty small but they managed to make it spacious and have lots of ways to divide it up so it felt like you had some privacy. Can't wait to go back!

De'Noia Woods

The tequila wings are soooooooooo good! You can taste the flavor of the tequila and the lime it was marinated in and topped with. The deep dish pizza was good. It fills you up really quickly and the size is deceiving. I’d definitely go back for the wings.

Utkanth Joshi

Nice pizza place, having good Veggi pizza. Price wise bit more than regular pizza chain shops. ..but worth it.

Derek Gantt

Awesome deep-dish pizza! We really enjoyed our time here. Our server, Miguel, was friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is pleasant and relaxed. We liked the Old Bay chicken wings and Caesar Salad, and the Classic Chicago deep-dish pizza was just amazing! Fresh, flavorful ingredients and succulent cheese--fun to eat too! Really glad to come here to experience Chicago-style pizza.

Troy Alford

Just plain phenomenal pizza. The deep dish meat lovers is the bomb.

Teresa Ray

Worth the wait, both in line and waiting for that amazing pie to be cooked. A must each time I visit Chicago.

Arpan Chakraborty

If you're a small eater, order the small deep dish. It's surely worth having it once! Any deep dish pizza is good. Loved the garlic bread sticks.

Gagan S

The deep dish pizza was really nice but not something I would eat again. The service was great but the wait time was too much

Lamar Jackson

Where to start? When my wife and I come to Chicago we make it a point to have dinner at Giordano's. We stopped in tonight and had a great experience! The Classic Chicago deep dish was extremely tasty. It was perfect. As usual, there was a bit of a wait for that made to order pie of the God's, so what do you do? You have a local beer and a glass of wine is what you do. While we enjoyed our drinks, Sandy anticipated our every need. She offered water with our drinks (I always ask for water after drinks are delivered, Sandy somehow knows that). She kept us posted on our pizzas progress. She served our first slices. She was right there when I needed a beer refresh. Seriously, Sandy made us feel right at home. She is a fabulous representative for the company. We all have snapshots of good and bad service we receive over the years. The impression Sandy left us with, her snapshot, was truly one of the best ever. I am a former high volume restaurant manager. I would've been proud to have Sandy on my team.

Christy Smith

Pizza and service at this spot is very good. Visited on Fri I believe. Looking forward to coming back with my friends. Prices were reasonable. Food is like a restaurant in Louisville I loved.
