    I wasn't happy that United Airlines sucked and caused us to miss our connection flight back to SFO, but had to look on the brightside. I always wanted to have Chicago style pizza in Chicago and here was my chance. My fiancé and I ordered pepperoni pizza with stuffed crust and had it delivered to our hotel room. The pizza was MASSIVE! We should have ordered a small since we had a lot left over. If I could have taken the leftover pizza with me on the plane, I would have. After our trip, a friend of mine mentioned that they can ship pizza as well. I looked and confirmed this on their website. This could be dangerous and I will pretend to not know that they can "Ship A Pizza." I will keep that in mind though when we are craving a Chicago style pizza pie!

    Lets say I am in love with there deep dish. You only need one slice and you will be full. The salad is really good also. The pizza is worth the wait. I see why they have so many of these restaurants in Chicago. When I come back to visit I will stop by and get my pizza fix.

    The service here was comparable to the food, crap. We were seated right away, and also placed our orders right away. My friend and I both ordered the same $10 lunch special, which was choice of appetizer, drink, and an entree. We both ordered the soup and a personal pizza. The appetizers took forever to come out, I am generally a patient person, but this appetizer took at least 20 min. to come out, and our pizza took another 20 min, so we ended up waiting 40 min. for our food, I don't understand how our appetizers could take so freaking long to come out when they were barely warm. Our server was super inattentive and was more focused on other things, so much that we had to ask other servers to help us with our orders. This situation could have been saved if the pizza was good, but the pizza did not have a buttery rich crust, which I was really looking forward to trying. The pizza was also served lukewarm and the cheese was so thick it reminded me of string cheese. I could care less about service if the food was good, but I was so disappointed by the pizza that I will probably never come here again.

    I've only dined in once before last night. I generally order for pick up. It tastes better when you dine in. I really like the fact that you can preorder your pizza while waiting for a table so that it's ready shortly after being seated. More restaurants should offer that option. Our server was friendly and prompt. 1- stuffed spinach & garlic pizza (med)--soooooo good!!!!! Perfect balance of garlic, cheese, and spinach 1-thin crust sausage, green pepper and mushroom (med)--idk how it tastes, but I'm sure it was good 1- beef barley soup--tastes almost as good as homemade 1- bruschetta--missing something, but overall really yummy $70 *not including our drinks at the bar prior to ordering* That's a hefty price tag for pizza in my opinion, but it is REALLY good pizza.

    And the winner is...The Giordannos lunch special was delightful and perfectly sized . Arrived artfully arranged on the plate in less than five minutes! The service was excellent considering it was the peak lunch crowd. FYI, I had another pizza experience this week at LM, and Giordannos outclassed that experience. The sausage meat was excellent with great flavor and melted into the thick cheese. Also the crust was baked until tender and cut easily with my fork as opposed to hard and overbaked at LM's. As for the salad, the ingredients were worlds apart. The purple tomatoes were noticeable and draped under the strips of Parmesan cheese. As well the spring mix salad was appreciated given this is now spring in Chicagoland. Go away iceberg lettuce! Bottom of the pizza pie battles goes to LM while my long time favorite Giordannos rises to the peak of the pack!

    I'm going to come into this saying Giordano's is my favorite Chicago pizza place. Unfortunately, after the service I received during my recent visit, I am compelled to write a review. Our family (a party of three) came to eat lunch at Giordano's. We placed a pre-order for a medium stuffed pizza while we waited to be seated. After being seated, another member of my party ordered a beef sandwich. Everything was going well. Almost two hours later, and 25 pizzas passing through the restaurant but sadly not to our table, we began to feel we were being forgotten about. The waitress avoided our table. Just as I was about to go to the front counter to get the timestamp on when our pizza was supposed to have been entered into the system, our inattentive waitress showed up with a beef sandwich. She sets it down and gives us the news. "I'm so sorry," she says. "I kept going to check on your pizza and they hadn't made it. I kept going back and checking on it again but they never made it. I have to re-place the order for the pizza." WHAT? So you did nothing about our pizza for two hours ...and you expect the other person in my party to eat their sandwich alone while we wait ANOTHER HOUR for a NEW pizza? No thanks. So the manager comes over and tries to apologize. When we decide we just want to leave, he offers to get us sandwiches while we wait for the new pizza. No sir. We wanted a pizza, not sandwiches. Needless to say we got up and left.

    Although I am not a deep dish aficionado or true fan, the pizza here was just fine and in fact pretty good. I'm definitely much more of a New York style pizza with a thin yet foldable, not cracker, crust. Deep dish to me is just too much though/bread with a bunch of toppings on top and sometimes even stuffed inside. Having said all that, the pizza here is real good. Fun fact though, although everyone considers Chicago to be the Homo deep dish pizza it really isn't. Chicago is almost entirely known for very thin crust 911 and pizza. That would be more of a cracker crust. So just about everywhere in Chicago, locals no pizza to be rectangular shaped cracker crustand cut into squares. The whole deep dish thing happened downtown maybe 50 years ago and is not really considered by locals to be more of a tourist pizza then a true Chicago style pizza. TRUE Chicago pizza is very similar to St. Louis Pizza...this cracker thin crust. Anyway, as mentioned, the pizza here is real good and I definitely do enjoy having a nice deep dish pizza. I said at the bar and had a couple beers and a small pizza with one additional toppings.normally, I can pretty easily eat an extra large thin crust pizza by myself. In this case, I was only able to take care of all that one slice of a small.

    Was here with a group of chefs staying at the Marriott Suites and had to order out for delivery! Ordered in two large stuffed pies, one with pepperoni and the other sausage. They arrived in less than 40 minutes and upon opening we were delivered some incredible flavor, loaded with cheese! Excellent flavor, perfectly seasoned sauce, and cooked to perfection. First time trying the pizza and it was another item to cross off the bucket list. One of best pizzas I've ever had and by far the best stuffed crust pizza I've ever enjoyed!

  • Brian D.

    Mediocre service to sub-par as the service is hit or miss. Very impersonable and dodgy attention to detail. While placing my order it was very loud, although the waitress assured me she heard my order, or so I thought. Half my order came out and even after reassuring me that she would bring the other half out to go, decided to plate it and disappoint once more. Not at all impressed with service, but the pizza is decent, although filling. Mostly dough and cheese, but delicious. Might try again at a different location.

  • Joanne D.

    The stuffed pizza is often not thoroughly cooked. That is a real turn off for me. If it were cooked completely it would be much better. The long wait is surely not worth undercooked deep dish pizza.

    I came here on two different occasions with big groups. First, they don't take reservations so you have to get yourself ready to wait or hope they're not so busy. The hostess I spoke with said they aren't normally busy so groups can get seated pretty quickly and we did find that to be the case. Secondly, I did come here on the off hours on a Saturday (2pm) so they did allow us to make a reservation. With our reservation we were able to pre-order our food so that our food was ready to eat when our whole party was complete. It was a really nice thing for them to do which gives them them the extra star. As far as food goes, their greek salad was good but not your typical greek salad you'd get at a greek restaurant. Their family size was a generous portion. Their ceasar salad is pretty standard, nothing amazing and nothing horrible. A-Ok. I did try both their deep dish and thin crust and I personally liked their thin crust a bit more. Their deep dish has LOTS of cheese (deep dish is known for their cheesiness but it was a bit more than I would have liked). I didn't care so much for the crust, it wasn't as flaky as I would have liked. I asked for my thin crust with light cheese and it was perfect. Their thin crust without the light cheese was again too cheesy. The two times I came I got a server that was really great and attentive and one that wasn't so much, definitely hit or miss.

    Looking at all the reviews I was very excited to go here on my last day in Chicago. The place was busy so I grabbed a high top next to the bar. I was with my 6 month year old and it was kind of difficult handling him at this table. Before I knew it the manger came over and offered me a booth just to make my life easier, I thank you for that!! I got the stuffed traditional which consist of pepperoni, mushrooms,onions, and peppers. My beer took about 15 minutes the pizza 20. The pizza was ok but nothing to brag about. Not alot of flavor at all.

  • Lily F.

    mmmmm yum yum! We actually got a large stuffed pizza delivered and it was pretty prompt (little more than an hour). When it arrived it was still hot although we still nuked it in the microwave just for a sec to get that awesome cheese string thing going. We got pepperoni and extra garlic. The garlic is fresh, not the stuff from the jar and it was very delicious. I almost ate two slices before we were stuffed. 4 stars because we didn't care for the cannoli too much. My Italian buddy looked like he wanted to cry when he ate it and all he did was shake his head while repeating, 'no, no, no.' It wasn't thaaat bad! It probably wasn't freshly made but came from a frozen bag or something. But the whole meal was memorable and I would definitely let them feed me in the future. :)

    Got delivery to Hyatt ohare. Thin crust sausage and hot peppers. Listen, I love any pizza, but for 47.00 tip included, it was not hot and Lou malnatis thin crust trumps theirs any day. It was a regular pizza. I should have had a slice at the convention center instead. This is not a review for their deep dish, which I do love.

    (3)
  • Karen H.

    The 5 stars is basically to acknowledge the best stuffed pizza ever... this location in particular is very consistent --- I order from here all the time and the pizza order is always accurate and tastes out of this world... a must visit for the pizza, if for no other reason... I usually do take-out but on occasions where I've eaten in, the restaurant is fine, service is ok, never a problem for parking.

  • Shannon L.

    Very good food. I got a small Chicago classic (which I think is suitable for 3 small women with big appetites). Delivery took over an hour though. Shrugs. I've never had an inverted pizza before, so it was definitely an interesting departure. Would recommend.

  • Tomo B.

    Ordered a pizza and salad for delivery and everything was good. The crust was flavorful and flaky and the toppings, sauce and cheese were all solid. I don't have a lot of experience with Chicago-style deep-dish so can't compare to others but I would definitely eat there again. Note that I ordered a Small deep-dish and could barely eat half of it. The Small size is defintely enough for two normal people.

    A year ago i once went to a drake concert in my home city back in England. It was the most pointless thing i ever experienced. That pretty much summed up my experience of this place and in general the over hyped sensation that is Chicago deep pan pizza. Having been to Chicago before and not trying out the pizza, i was slammed by foodie friends for missing out on it so i made a point of going to what was one of the most recommended spots. We order some sampler starters and considering there was around a 40 minute wait for the pizza itself, i would recommend ordering something to snack on. Not that the starters were great, reminded me of really bad pub food. My group ordered two large, one classic and one meat feast type pizza. When the pizza did arrive I was slightly amused at what looked like quiche covered in tomato sauce. Took the first slice and after the 2nd bite I looked around at the very large locals around me and it all started to make sense. Unimpressed, and not tasty at all. The pizza reminded me of microwaved pizza , the morning after and they were massively filling. Think i managed two slices. Sorry Chicago, this claim to fame was totally pointless.

    Weekend conference in Chicago means I MUST have some deep dish Chicago pizza! Luckily for us, there was a Giordano's and a Gino's East nearby. This Giordano's was walking distance from our hotel, so this is where our group of 8 found ourselves Sunday for lunch. We were told 20 minute wait, but seated within 5. Nice! That was the only nice thing about service, though. We waited a while to order our food. We were told 30-40 minutes for a deep dish pizza. Ok, no problem. Over 40 minutes later, we're still waiting with no reassurance that our food is coming out. Despite the waiting, I loved the food! Their deep dish is actually a "stuffed" pizza: crust, sauce, cheese, toppings, cheese, sauce. Served hot and fresh and cheesy. I'm glad I tried it, but I think I'm still a fan of an actual deep dish pizza, not a stuffed one. My quick bites of my friends' pastas were yummy too. Seems like you can't go wrong with anything you order here!

    I'm apparently not a fan of deep dish stuffed pizza. The crust was bland and overshadowed the many ingredients stuffed inside. Location is fairly convenient to the Sheraton O'Hare airport hotel and the inside of the restaurant is welcoming and clean. Waitresses are not the most pleasant and food was average. Did not care for the house salad either. Looks to be a popular place though. A lot of business people enjoying their meals. Just not a place for me.

  • Asenath N.

    I'm not a big fan of deep dish pizza, but decided to give it a try when my family was in town and they wanted to try it. I was very surprised on how much I like it. The pizza was seasoned very well, but a little too cheesy. One slice was enough to fill me. The reason they are getting a 3 star is for the supper slow service. It took almost 2 hours for us to get our pizza, that is ridiculous! They may need more help in the kitchen to get the pizzas out at a timely manner.

    Service alone is worth the trip. Get the deep dish if it's your 1st time. There is a 6' that's not on the menu if you're solo.

    They delivered right to my door at my hotel! It was hot and awesome!!! The cheese, pepperoni and meatball pizza was what I got! And it was delicious!!! Thanks for the great service! It was exactly delivered in an hour like they said and it was so worth it!

  • Jeff F.

    Now that I've been three separate times, I feel like that's an adequate time to write up a review. The Pizza: -Huge, dense, & ~3" thick (giggity) -a small stuffed yields about 2 meals -great flavor, but the crust is a little bland -in my opinion, overpriced (~$20 for a small pepperoni) The service: -2/3 times have been fair (other one was awful) -pizza takes at least 35 - 40 mins to cook -love the padio at this location in summer Overall, if you're visiting Chicago, give the stuffed crust (deep dish) a shot.

    Sure, it's a chain, but you know how chains get started? They start out by being so good that people demand more of them, and Giordano's warrants that demand, because this is some damn good deep dish pizza. Star 1: How was the service and atmosphere? As others have said, Giordano's staff are truly incredible. I walked in at 11:45PM on a friday and the place was absolutely packed. There are many places out there whose staff would turn cranky and mean when the clock was about to strike midnight, but Giordano's kept smiles on their faces and catered to my pairs every need. Seating is abundant and the location convenient. Star Granted. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? While I didn't take a picture, my 'small' deep dish pizza ran roughly $17 with tax. Small? This thing was huge, and could have easily served 3+. That's fair. Star Granted. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? Yum. So my duo opted to get classic pepperoni, and it was excellent. While there could have been some more pepps in the mix, the crust was flaky, the cheese consistent, the sauce seasoned, and the experience well above standard pizza. Excellent. Dual Stars Granted. Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could? Honestly I'm tempted to give this star here, but from what I'm hearing there's comparable deep dish elsewhere in the city. That being the case, I'm going to hold off, for now, but know that Giordano's is a solid option for some Chicago pie. No Star Granted.

    Giordanos! Not far from home which is great. There was bit of a wait to be seated and of course waited for the pizza. Stuffed takes a while, just like deep dish. The pizza was delicious. Definitely didnt regret coming here after experiencing Lou Malnatis. Both pizza are best in Chicago, I dont have a favorite. I will be back, hopefully soon!

    There being a shortage of good Italian food in LA, I decided I had to eat Italian while in Chicago for a short visit. At this place I didn't have time for a pasta meal or pizza, but I had a meatball sandwich and it turned out to be the best meatball sandwich I've ever had. It's called Mama's meatball sandwich. Whoever mana cooks like that I just wanna run out and buy her a TV for Christmas. Fugget about it.

  • Serge L.

    I've been to and through Chicago a number of times, and shame on me for never having tried real Chicago deep dish, let alone Giordano's stuffed pizzas. Bottom line they make an awesome stuffed pie. The Chicago classic is bursting with pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers & onions and painted with delicious melted mozzarella and their amazing marinara. Hungry yet? If you're a wayward traveler, look to Giordano's welcoming arms to comfort you; and when you leave remember that they ship to your door! Quick Tip: If you're dining solo they offer a 6" personal size pie which is not advertised on the menu. Slim chance you can take down a 10" pie yourself.

    $6 pints. $20 pizzas. All the ambiance of a TGI Fridays. Appetizer came after pizza. Beer lines taste dirty. Really really really boring flavorless pizza. Crust had no flavor. None. Like a low sodium saltine cracker. No more than two or three marble size pieces of sausage in the whole pie. There's better 'Chicago style' pizza at food carts in Oregon than this place. Two beers, one awful small pizza, and an order of appetizer fries came to over $40. This place is terrible. Why anyone would pay to ship this lackluster slab of boring across the country is beyond me.

  • Jessica S.

    I question the taste of everyone who gave this pizza a good review. The crust was worse than a frozen pizza. I made a better pizza in high school home ec class. Seriously disappointed. I guess I prefer my toppings on top of my pizza. But really, aside from the cheese, this pizza was a fail all around. For reference, we got 'the special' - sausage, green onions, mushrooms, bell peppers. Someone couldn't pay me to eat this again.

  • Savannah H.

    I placed a to go order and the girl taking my order could not have sounded more bored. Sorry I wasted your time ordering my one, very simple item. Next time I come to town remind me NOT to order from you. Hope this pizza was worth that AND the 1 1/2 hour wait...

  • Jessica A.

    So far so good, eating their Caesar salad and the dressing is traditional, love it! When I finally have the pizza here one day I will update my review. Only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because the majority of their staff is texting in their personal cell phones in front of me. But they are all very nice.

  • Kermit S.

    The calamari appetizer comes with some deep fried veggies as well as deep-fried lemon slices. There's lemon slices were very interesting. The calamari was excellent as well. My party ordered the stuffed meat and more meat pizza. I love Chicago style pizza and this place hit the spot. We couldn't finish the pie but gladly took the rest back to the hotel. This place did not disappoint, and I would suggest going here because the experience was great and the service was outstanding. I am going to try other pizza places around here just because.

    The food is always awesome. GUARANTEED. The service is another thing. Sometimes you get good service, the other times, meh. On the past couple of visits, the service has been great, this one though wasn't. Came in yesterday with my wife and a couple of friends. We were sat down, and our waitress (shorter older European lady) came to us and rudely asked what we wanted to drink. She did not introduce herself either. Mind that we've never been helped by her and we did not give her any reason for her to come at us like that. That threw us off, but we ordered our drinks and food right then and there. She came out with out drinks, and my wife asked her if they had the french onion soup, and she very strongly said that they never had french onion soup (however she ordered french onion soup at this location the last time we visited. She either truly didn't know, or she was lying her ass off). What was more of a turn off from a service perspective is that she would be extra friendly with a couple of tables behind us but we where getting the short end of the stick. Consistency is key. You may have great food, but if someone is giving not up to par service to your clientele, then that is more than enough reason to lose clientele. I advise to get your waitresses on the same page. You're a multi-billion dollar business. You shouldn't have issues like this. Get it together.

    Fourth time I have eaten at Giordano's, first time at their Rosemont location. Giordano's still doesn't disappoint, regardless of what location I eat at. Their specialty is their cheese stuffed deep dish pizza (they ship them frozen in dried ice anywhere), but the rest of their menu is Uber delish, too. No one seems able to finish the generous portions and all you see are people walking out with their containers of leftovers. Takes great the next day, too, even at room temperature. Full Italian fare. Those who order the stuffed crust deep dish are warned of the 45 minutes it takes to prepare it, no rushing quality, but it is well worth the wait. Here's a photo of just one slice of the SMALL stuffed crust deep dish (mine). See what I mean? Huge and oh so yummy. Open every day of the week. Always crowded; longest I have ever had to wait to be seated is 30 minutes. You can order your stuffed crust while waiting to be seated to cut down the total wait time. Has carry out in addition to dine in. A Chicagoland institution well worth trying at least once.

    When I'm in Chicago, I always head to Giordano's for their deep dish pizzas. Their buttery crust, layers of cheese, plump sausage with fresh onions, peppers and marinara sauce are what dreams are made of. Literally, when I return to Seattle, I will daydream about this pizza. I guess I'm fortunate that we don't have a Giordano's in Seattle or I'd be there all the time and be 10 pounds heavier each month. It's really that good. Now, don't come hungry and impatient. It will take a solid 40 minutes to get your deep dish pizza but it's so worth it!

    Lives up to the hype of Chicago pizza. The deep dish pizza takes quite a while to bake (45 minutes), so be prepared to have a long dinner. This is a great place to relax, enjoy some appetizers, and unwind the day. The salads are also a good counterbalance to the heavy fork and knife based pizza which grows more and more delicious with every passing minute. The medium deep dish feeds 2-3 people!

  • Matt M.

    Giordano's will always play 2nd fiddle to Lou Malnati's in my mind. But its a good, welcome second fiddle. The pizza is very good. Where they really surpass Lou Maltnati's is there thin crust - its way better and they should really promote the hell out of it. This location is nice. I guess it is intended for the Rosemont/Convention/Airport crowd so it flips through people in a more cookie cutter fashion than other Giordano's. Its open, kinda crowded, and not laid out as cool as many of the others but its still good pizza

    We ordered some food to go after we landed at O'Hare. Don't bother with ordering on-line if you're in a hurry. They can accommodate a phone order much faster. We only waited 10 minutes for our order to be ready. I really enjoyed the Chicago beef sandwich baked into pizza dough. Be aware though that the peppers are spicy. Salad that you can get with it was very nice, too.

    This is THE best pizza I have ever had!! You cannot go wrong with this place! Get the stuffed pizza aka deep dish when you come here! The crust was perfect and flaky, while the rest of the pizza was filled with lots of cheese, meat, and the sauce on top! We also tried the chicken alfredo and the boneless buffalo wings which were top notch! Kudos to the team at Giordono's as their restaurant was extremely busy and no staff member looked flustered or overwhelmed. I received great service at the bar when I was waiting for my table to be ready. I will definitely be stopping back in here when I return back to Chicago!

    I left a poor review 2 weeks ago, when I logged into my yelp account this morning, I saw a personalized message from the general manager, apologizing for my poor experience and offering us $50 credit. I think as customers, all we are ever looking for is kindness and a great experience. I'm stunned that I received a personal message. Kudos to Erik, the GM who turned a bad customer service experience into a great one simply by using kind words. Wow:)

    Giordano's is my favorite Chicago style pizza place, hands down. I work nearby, so I try to resist the temptation to visit for lunch every day. It's hard to do. They have lunch specials which include a personal deep dish pizza, a side, and a drink for about $9. I usually order the pepperoni pizza and have their delicious minestrone soup as a starter. Ask for the soup with melted mozzarella and bread baked on it, which is perfect on a cold day. Last time, I ordered a medium pizza for 2 people. We had 2 slices each at lunch, and had 2 slices each to take back as leftovers. This pizza re-heats very well too. Do be aware that if you order a regular sized (not personal) pizza, it will take about 30 minutes to cook. If you're on a tight lunch schedule, they have some pre-made (and cooking) personal pizzas that don't take very long to come out. I think you can pick from cheese, sausage, pepperoni, and sometimes spinach pizzas for the personal sized ones. Finally, they recently re-did their outside patio and it's really pretty. There's a big pergola, lights, and even a fireplace. It kind of makes you forget you're on 2 busy roads. I've always had great service here too. Definitely a must visit place.

    Well it's been about 6 years since I had a deep dish pizza so figured why not. First, non food note, this place is right next to a gas station which is good to know, if you are flying out of Ohare and have a rental car that needs refueled. There was 2 of use and each got the house salad. It was great. Loved the lemon dressing and Asiago cheese. We split small veggie deep dish pizza. This comes with 6 slices. How anyone can eat more than 2 slices is amazing to me. I had not had deep dish in a while but remember the crust being a bit more of a corn meal texture. I could be way off on this, but this place has more of a thick dough crust. I did really like it. And love veggies so was happy it was packed full. The staff here was very friendly and overall we had a very nice lunch experience.

    We were a little overdressed lol... some friends and I came here on a Wednesday night after a long day at the convention center (for work) and we were ready to toss back some drinks and get wild. That was cut short when we realized it was all families... In any case, we sat down and had a very friendly waitress. The wine was cheap ($5) and there were lots of yummy menu options. We started with the calamari (delicious) and toasted ravioli (just ok). The deep dish looked like bowls of tomato soup and it has never appealed to me, so I went with thin crust. We got all the veggies we could order on that baby and boy was it delicious! And HUGE! With 5 people and 1 pizza we still had about 8 pieces left over (they cut it into small squares instead of an 8-slice pie). Would definitely return on my next visit to Rosemont!

    Obsessed! You come in, you order, you enjoy the deliciousness of the hearty pizza to the point of being overly full, so you surrender to the few slices left, even offering it to your friend because the thought of eating more is too painful. The next day, you're wanting more pizza and wishing you never gave your slice away. You're back home fiending for more Giordano's. There has to be a trip for work that brings you back to Chicago! Found one. Got it! You're back enjoying this famous deep dish treat, again eating to the point of guilt. Lol. Ooh, an extra slice. You don't make the same mistake. Screw being generous, take the slice to go. Eat it the next day knowing you made the right decision. Get home, fiend for more. Must. Get. Back. To. Chicago. There has to be a trip for work that will take you back to Chicago. Found one! Got it! And the cycle continues. See you again soon!

    After a disappointing experience at Lou Manatis the night before, I was on a quest to find true authentic Chicago style deep dish pizza, and Giordano's did not disappoint! Starting with the huge portion of bruschetta that we got as a free appetizer which was absolutely delicious! But I was ready for the main attraction and it was heaven on a plate. The ingredients were fresh and plentiful. Each slice oozed with cheese and I was not mad at that. And the slices were huge. My friend and I shared a small pizza and each of us could only eat one slice. This by far was the best pizza in Chicago. I would highly recommend it to everyone.

    Had a great time at this location!! My boyfriend and I, our flight was cancelled, and had to spend an evening in Rosemont. The place was packed!!! We sat at the bar, and received really great service!! We packed our left overs to go, and carried them on the plane!!! The pizza was so good! Deep dish was like a pie, not just a pile of bread!! Amazing!!

  • Amanda S.

    I was never one for deep dish pizza. But then I realized I never actually had deep dish pizza. This stuffed pizza, filled with whatever combination you desire, has a crispy crust on the outside and bottom. The sauce on top balances it all out. It's never soggy and actually, surprisingly, reheats well in the oven for a few minutes. We had the cheese bread which is pricey for what it is, a half loaf of bread, garlic spread and mozzerella. But it's DELISH, so choose your battles, eh? We also had the Italian chopped salad which was great. Good beer list, fun ambiance and good pizza. BE WARNED: it takes 45 minutes for the pizza to come out. And a SMALL is way too much food for even two people. Most tables were averaging one slice a person and a salad or appetizer. Highly recommend this for Chicago style pizza.

  • Coyote B.

    Meh. We ate at the bar and were told there will be a fifty minute wait for pizza. My friend orders a thin crust pizza with jalapenos, pepperoni, and cheese. I order the Giordano's "Northside" Italian beef sandwich. They forget about my friend's pizza, so we wait forever for his food to arrive and I end up with a Italian beef stuffed pizza instead of a sandwich. New York thin crust is better than Chicago deep dish. Definitely skip this place next time and the rest of your yelpers won't have to wait as long for your pizza.

  • Li J.

    Totally decent Chicago Style Pizza. The wait was predictable long - a little over an hour. People always get irate when they have to wait for their food, so they were giving the servers a bit of a hard time.... It came out fresh. Cheese was gooey as it should be. I found the crust a bit bland (floury tasting) and the sauce was very tart. I have had better Chicago Style Pizza - folks keep telling me to try the other famous chains.... I also had the Chicago Style salad. Meh..... Likely wouldn't return.

    Upon entering we were seated quickly, that was a plus considering the place was crowded but after we were seated they asked us to move because the place we were seated was better fit for 5 people and we are a group of three. The noise inside is waaaayy too much. People talking over people, music playing and so on. The waitstaff are disgruntled and the food is mediocre. Overall, it's not horrible. I probably wouldn't willing come here again, but if I were with a group that wanted to eat here I'd still join them.

  • Brandon A.

    The crust was very soggy and the pizza box was full of moisture. I ate a single slice and threw away the rest. Not very good at all. I wish I had ordered from somewhere else. On the upside they did deliver to my hotel near the airport.

    This Giordano's was right next to my hotel and close to O'Hare. Parking is easy (huge lot right outside of it), and the eating areas inside and outside are extensive. My group was seated immediately on a Wednesday evening -- so far, so good. We got the special stuffed pizza which comes with sausage, mushrooms, green peppers & onions. Our waitress said it would be 45 minutes for the pizza to come out, and yep, it came out in just about 45 minutes. The pizza was good, but not great. The sauce is all on the top layer, almost making the pizza look like a pie with a cheese/tomato sauce crust. Perhaps I'm just not a fan of that? I think they do it so the bottom pizza crust doesn't get soggy. The pizza crust itself was pretty good -- I'm glad it wasn't too greasy, although the bottom still did get a little soggy. The toppings were pretty good, smothered in cheese in the middle of the pizza. However, given the deep-dish-ness of the pizza, I was really surprised, when about 20 minutes into our meal, we realized that the pizza had gotten cold. It wasn't particularly piping hot when it came out, but within 20 minutes it was like pizza that seemed like it had sat out much longer than 20 minutes. At that point, the pizza was room temperature, the cheese was no longer gooey and the crust seemed a little stale as well. So I'm a little confused at how that happened to a deep dish pizza. My boyfriend wasn't familiar with all the draft beers they had, and our waitress offered to have him try some until he found one he liked. I thought that was a nice gesture. I was expecting a lot of Giordano's, and it didn't quite live up to those expectations. Nevertheless, it was a good experience and I'm glad I got to try their pizza.

    We got some pizza from here before a recent flight out of O'Hare. I love deep dish pizza and was excited to have authentic Chicago deep dish. It was pretty underwhelming. The crust didn't have the buttery taste I associate with deep dish & the cheese wasn't fully melted and was clumpy (you could see the individual pieces of shredded cheese). It wasn't bad, but I've had much better deep dish elsewhere.

  • Susan R.

    I'm new to deep dish pizza, but this is my favorite!! The crust is half baked, a little gooey, love it! Our sausage, pepperoni and mushroom stuffed pizza was delicious! My husband says he slightly favors Papadel's, I disagree. Their crust is harder. This was the best!!

  • Tim M.

    Went in for some deep dish since a co-worker told me this place was amazing. Ordered some calamari and baked ravioli as an appetizer while the pizza was being made (the menu says it takes 45 minutes to bake). The calamari and ravioli were both ok. Probably could have skipped them. The pizza was really good and impossible to finish. I think I got through two slices on a small pizza. I would definitely go back just for the pizza alone. The server was also very quick on bringing refills and answering any questions we had.

    This is might second time here on visits to Chi-town. The first time I got the deep dish, which I am just not a fan of. I'm sure if you're into that kind of thing it's great, but I am just a NY style pizza girl through and through. The deep dish is like an entire block of cheese per slice, and super thick cornbread like crust, I just can't stomach it. So this time I went against all the advice and got the thin crust, loaded with veggies. It was absolutely delicious so glad I tried it. Comes with a ton of veggies and their famous delicious sauce. I also got a salad to start, the harvest salad, and it was great. The cocktails were also strong and delicious, the Italian surfer tasted like a creamsicle, so good.

    Great place for a pizza or Chicago beef sandwich. Lots of great pizza in Chicago and I lake them all. New thing here is the Northside beef sandwich. Great idea and was very good. Bartender was new and was working very hard. Did a great job and will be back for more next time I'm in the area.

    Came here for dinner on 9/5/15. Very small parking lot but they do offer complementary valet parking. Arrived a little after 6pm, they were busy but we got a table right away. The waiter was very friendly, informative, and quick to get our first round of drinks. The refills took a bit longer as the restaurant got a little more busier. We ordered a thin-crust and it out to us in about 20 minutes. Very hot and delicious! I'll recommend that if you want a deep dish, avoid the dinner rush or call ahead. Otherwise, you'll be waiting a bit if you want to dine in.

  • Julie S.

    I am a huge thin crust pizza lover and when I came here, I didn't think I was going to like deep dish pizza because of the thick crust but boy was I wrong! If you are by yourself or you don't want to share, make sure you order a "baby" size pizza. It's not on the menu but you can definitely order a personal pizza. Sauce was on point, just enough cheese, crust was crispy and the ingredients on the pie rounded it off perfectly. If you're in Chicago, you gotta try the Chicago Classic. I've also had the deep dish with lots of vegetables and it made the crust very soggy. I recommend to just keep basic. TIP: It was hard to get this place by foot. It's located on a highway. If Google Maps tells you that you can walk to this place, don't trust it. Was half way there before I realized I can't walk on a highway lol

    My friends and I came here when we visited Chicago because we wanted to try out some delicious deep dish pizza! We definitely were not disappointed. They were extremely busy because it was a Saturday night and it looked like there was a college formal/prom event happening so it took a really long time for us to get seated. The wait was kind of okay though because they let us order our food so it would be ready by the time we got seated. I think it was about half an hour wait before we got seated and it was still another half an hour until we got our pizza and breadsticks, but it was so worth the wait. The pizza was absolutely delicious; we got a pepperoni pizza. It was best served hot, though. Because there's so much cheese it kind of solidifies when it gets cold. The server was awesome, he let us take pictures of the pizza and even posed while he was dishing up our slices so we could capture the cheese in picture form. He was incredibly nice and funny, as well. My only complaint was how packed it was in the small building. It was hard to get through the tables and booths. Just a small complaint, though. We would definitely go back!

    I'd have to say. I think I found my new favorite pizza place . The pizza was not to salty, not to buttery. Just perfect. I will definitely be returning. And for our waiter Jason, excellent service, friendly and very welcoming. As well for being Spot on with the recommendation's. Might take you a while for the pizza to come out. As would any deep dish. So definitely order ahead if you do not want to wait 45 minutes. Only negative which is why I'm not giving five stars is due to the Root Beer. Which you always have to have with a pizza

    I'm originally from Virginia and we don't have a lot of deep dish places over there. Wanted to see what the hype was about. The lunch deal was really good. You get a personal pizza, a side (I got the parmesan fries), and a drink for 10 bucks. Not my favorite style of pizza but I really enjoyed the crust with some ranch. Everything tastes better with ranch. Get ready for food coma though.

    So on my whirlwind pizza tour my wife and I did while in Chicago this place ranked well. It's a solid chain pizza that is a consistent choice of you want deep dish. Prices aren't to bad for what you get and the service was ok not great not bad but ok. Bottom line good food and easy to find one since they are a chain. I recommend the meat pie deep dish.

  • Jeff N.

    Giordano's has fantastic deep dish. We got the special and I came hungry. I came hoping to put down 3 pieces, but sadly could only eat 2... Their crust is one of the best I've ever tasted for pizza, the sauce is delicious. It takes 45 mins after you order your pizza to receive it. I suggest you order the calamari while waiting. The calamari is good and to make it more fun they mix in some other things with it....beans, jalapeños and more.

    Recently ordered a stuffed pepperoni pizza. Brought it home and found the pepperoni on top of the sauce and very little sauce in general on the pizza. Called to ask about a new recipe and was told "oh yeah we put the pepperoni on top unless you want it in" hey genius thanks for telling me when I ordered. Worst pizza I ever got from this location. If ordering again I will try the one on Dempster. Very disappointed.

    In my opinion, Giordanos is the best of all the Chicago style pizza places in Chicago (e.g. Gino's East, Lou Malnatis, UNO, etc.). They seem to have MORE cheese and the crust is this buttery, flakey thing. This location is 5 minutes from O'Hare so when you land and you just need a good pizza, they are just down the street from the car rental lots (and they are open until 11 PM!!!). While the pizza is great, the service isn't, but that may be a thing in Chicago since most places in the burbs have crappy service. Our waitress forgot our appetizer (and she tried to charge me for it!) and she never filled up our drinks until we asked. that said, the pizza and the atmosphere make up for the service. I've never seen so many fat broads in one place other than the waiting room at Jenny Craig. And it is really a hoot to listen to these heffers complain about their boyfriends, husbands and ex's as they scarf down slice after slice of the calorie laden stuffed crust pizza. Sometimes, you just want to stand up in the restaurant and scream "have any of you cows looked in a mirror naked?"

    We went to Giordano's on Wednesday, May 7th for dinner. We are not from Chicago and we wanted to have some authentic Chicago deep dish pizza. We went to the right place! We had their small veggie deep dish pizza and it was fantastic! The small was plenty for 2 people, we even had enough for dinner the next night. If you order their deep dish, be prepared to wait about 45 minutes (that's how long it takes for a typical deep dish pizza). I would say the only downside was the appetizer. We got the fried calamari appetizer that also had green beans and peppers. However, when it came out it did not have any green beans, just red pepper and some lemons. The breading was very bland and flavorless, much less appetizing than most calamari appetizers for a price of $9. Other than that, we also got a 3 bite dessert that tasted great. They struck out on their appetizer but the deep dish pizza more than made up for it!

  • Cheryl P.

    We ate there 2 separate times during our stay. The first was for my first taste of Chicago pizza, and it was very good (takes 35 minutes to cook though, and they're serious about that...). They have a delicious marinara sauce, which makes everything else fall into place... The second time, my husband had linguini and meat sauce, and I had the antipasto. DELICIOUS for both! Very good meals at very reasonable prices! Definitely leaving it on our short list for future trips to Chicago!

  • Beth G.

    Came here on a busy and kinda noisy Saturday afternoon with a party of 7. We kept the waitress pretty busy but not once was she anything less than gracious. The combo appetizer plate is always a huge hit for my family, no matter the location, and it's hard for me to control myself and leave room for the pizza because I just want to eat every last morsel on the platter. Ahhhh, the pizza. I'm left to wonder why exactly it is that I have given my loyalty to Lou's for so long. I have never had a deep-dish pizza at any Giordano's I've eaten at that has not been perfect. Crust, cheese, sauce, whatever toppings we decided on (and argued about), just... perfect.

    I came here because a friend had a long layover at O'Hare and I figured I'd help him kill some time for a long lunch. Now, being a lifelong Chicagoan, I know and love Giordanos. I really do. I've been going since I was a wee laddie. And without a doubt, the pizza here is just as good as any of the other Giordano's I've been to. But the atmosphere. How do I put this nicely....or at least politically correctly? Well, let's just say it is not the same clientele or level of service as the Giordanos downtown, Evanston, Oak Brook, or Willowbrook. It's a little bit more...Jersey Shore, if you will. Our waiter got the job done, but was very curt ("whaddya want?" for example) and just stood over us until we cleared the table for her to be able to place down our only pizza! In all honesty it was fine because it gave us something to joke about in the lulls of conversation. But don't come here looking for the friendly, warm service you expect from the other Chicagoland branches. This is a location simply for the pizza.

  • Christine S.

    Boston north end has nothing to worry about. I know go to Chicago and get stuffed pizza. We did get one of those, a special loaded with veggies and sausage. It was large (even the small one). Stuffing was ample. Veggies crisp. Problem with this and the 'thin crust' (we will get back to that in a minute) is the crust. Tough, stale like taste, dry. As for the thin crust. Nope they do NOT toss thin pizza's here. No way they could. You know that pizza from school, or the freezer, yup thats what youll get here. Yuck. I really couldn't even eat it. And when I took the left overs back to the hotel, no one wanted them there either. Double tripple yuck. Would completely NOT recommend this place. Why two stars? Well the waitstaff was very nice and the salads were great. Should of stopped there.... be we were at a pizza place right?

    Sigh, I think the only reason I crave this place is because my mom ate it while she was pregnant with me. True story. Anyway. I think that I should be part-owner of this company because I've given them hundreds of my dollars over the years. And this particular location was on the way to my job at O'Hare and got many of those dollars. The food-Stuffed pizza gives me life. And the thin crust is excellent as well. Either or will do. I keep it very simple; sausage, pepperoni and mushrooms. Maybe some green peppers every now and then for variety. But it really is excellent. I've been known to get an entire pizza for myself. I don't care how much it costs. Build one in DC pleeeease! I am in pizza withdrawal over here.

    I recently dined at this Giordano's location during my first vacation in the Chicago region. I'm impressed with the service my party received here. All the staff that we've encountered was friendly and our waiter was very attentive to our needs. We didn't have to ask for refills on our drinks because he would bring the refills to us when he saw that they were running low. As for the food, the calamari appetizer we ordered was perfect! I'm thankful that they didn't over cook it, so it wasn't chewy at all. We also had the Meat & More Meat stuffed pizza, which was ridiculously delicious! I've had stuffed pizzas in Los Angeles and Las Vegas in the past, but they were nothing compared to the stuffed pizza they have here! I'm giving this place 5 out of 5 stars because of the excellent service and the scrumptious food! I seriously cannot wait to go back to Chicago so I can dine here again.

  • Stephen S.

    Outstanding! Prompt, attentive service by our server/bartender, Tom. Very helpful with local information as well, I might add. Pleasantly surprising calamari mix! Loved the fried lemon slices!Great match! Also loved the other fried beans and such! Still a large serving of Calamari too! The Deep Dish Pizza is just spectacular! I am from AL, and there is simply too few pizza places with Chicago Deep Dish. So, I try them when I travel. This is my favorite, now! It is worth the wait (as all good pizza establishments make them fresh!) So, order a brew, and an appetizer, and relax, and ENJOY! This place ROCKS!

  • Jason B.

    Since I got yelled at the last time I got pizza in the Chicagoland area, and I got Pizza Hut, I felt I should do myself one better and try a Chicago institution and stop at Giordano's. To sum up my review in one word, I'd say disappointed. I felt lucky that we showed up around 5pm and didn't have a wait at all on a Saturday night. We were sat right away and waited a bit for our server to come around. It was busy, but not packed, so it was a little weird that service took so long for our waitress to even acknowledge us. As we were waiting, it started raining outside so all 6 tvs that were showing World Cup games froze due to satellite outages. Then, a weird buzz/emergency sound came from the tvs and a guy who I'm assuming was the manager ran through the lobby and said that it wasn't a weather related alarm or anything and nobody should worry (which I don't think any people were) but then I immediately got a text alert that there was a flash flood warning in the area so it's quite obvious it WAS an emergency alert, but anyways. I knew it was going to take awhile for the pizza, and that was totally understandable, but when it came, I wasn't impressed at all. i'm sure back in the day there was some personality put into the pizzas they made here, but this pizza seemed about as fake as a little ceaser's pizza in all honesty. Didn't seem handmade at all, it's like they pulled it out of the freezer, threw in in the oven, and brought it to our table. The crust wasn't nearly as good as the crust at Lou Malnati's.....it was pretty bland and uneatable. I was hoping for an amazing pizza (especially for 20 bucks for a small pizza) but was left with a bland taste in my mouth.

    (2)
  • Lucas R.

    Giordano's is a solid choice for pizza, wings etc. in the area that won't let you down. It's along the same lines as Lou Malnati's- although I think the pizza is a bit better at Lou's (seems to me to be more flavorful), this is still very good authentic Chicago-style deep dish (I'm referring to their "stuffed" option, I got sausage and onion). Keep in mind that this pizza is an absolute commitment. Like another reviewer mentioned, there as an enormous chunk of cheese on each slice, and lots of sauce. For mine, the portions of onions and sausage were huge. I couldn't make my way through any more pizza after eating 2 out of the 6 slices...of the "small" pizza size. This place is an incredible bang for your buck. They also offer a thin crust and extra thin crust pizza for the light of heart. The buffalo wings were cooked perfectly, and instead of a thicker, sweeter and messier buffalo sauce there was a thin coating of a lighter style glaze, which was absolutely delicious. I wouldn't call this #1 pizza spot in town, but it is definitely above average. The portion sizes however make up in a few for the slight inferiority the pizza has to traditional favorites like Lou Malnati's or Pequod's, and the wings were great too. Delivery was for the most part timely and they're open until around 12pm on weekends, which makes it great late at night when some other places are closed.I'd suggest this place if you're a fan of the classic Chicago pizza parlors. and want to try something different.

    Anticipation to try this place has been building up for at least two weeks, and usually I end up disappointed in some way when the day finally comes. Thank goodness this was an unusual experience! In a good way, that is! The cheese sticks appetizer - pretty good - nothing special about them. I was hungry so they hit the spot! I enjoyed the flavor of the pizza sauce...tasted like only fresh ingredients were used. My Mamma Mia had the Chicken Milanese sandwich with Parmesan fries and she was so sweet to let me taste a corner. First, I love ciabatta bread so they had a good head start on winning me over. Her food had been sitting for a few minutes due to the full restaurant (packed with post-show fitness competitors like myself!) and the 45-minute cook time for my deep dish. I asked them to bring hers out without waiting for mine and they happily obliged. Now to the main event. Stuffed deep dish. Stuffed deep with toppings. {{Stuffed}}. It was absolutely everything I'd hoped it would be (sounds like I have a love affair with pizza, but I'll never tell). I got 1/2 pepperoni, chicken sausage, black olives and 1/2 pepper, mushrooms and green peppers. This was my first deep dish and I picked the right place to give it a try! The sad thing is I only got to eat one slice (pepperoni, chicken sausage and black olives - so good!) because I'd already eaten cheesy bread among other small indulgences. But that just gives me something to look forward to tomorrow! And I do. Oh, I do...

    We got the all meat deep dish. It was ok. Parents got cheese deep dish. Not very good. This pizza absolutely needs toppings. It takes 45 minutes to get the pizza after you order. Nothing was bad about this place but nothing to make me want to go back either. I have had better deep dish.

  • Tiffany C.

    You can't go to Chicago without getting deep dish pizza! I came here because I was in the area for a conference (only 15 minute walk from the hotel!). We ordered the super veggie which was loaded with mushrooms, green peppers, onions, broccoli, artichokes, spinach, and way more olives than I expected. The veggies were even intertwined in the crust! As standard for stuffed pizzas, it took about 45 minutes before we got our pizza. Thankfully they have reasonably priced side salads that you can order while you wait, and of course, beer! Though you'll likely have to flag down your waiter; ours had a little bit of an attitude. Unfortunately by the time my pizza came the experience did not quite live up to the hype. My taste buds were hoping for fresh, hot, steaming pizza but it came to us semi warm and parts of the crust were burned. This wasn't what I remembered when I had Lou Malnatis in the past...a happy explosion in my mouth! Nonetheless, pizza was still good and my experience in Chicago would be remiss without it. I also ended up getting take out delivery one night because it was basically monsooning outside. I heard that Giordanos would deliver right to my hotel room so I was psyched. However, I ended up having to meet the delivery guy by the front of the hotel. Understandable though given how many others were also waiting for their orders at my hotel! This time I had the chicken parm and cheesy garlic bread. Loved the garlic bread but the chicken parm ratio of pasta to chicken was like 3:1. For a price of $12 I expected a bigger piece of chicken. Rating is more of 3.5 stars because come on, they have deep dish!!

    Best Pizza in the world!!! One warning!! Watch out for the red light traffic camera on the intersection. The criminal enterprise known as the Rosemont Police Department put up a "no turn on the red" sign that you will never see and then send $100 "violations" to every car...thousands a day! The car ahead of me and behind me turned on the red just like I did...$300 in 5 seconds...crime like this against the citizens is UNCONSTITUTIONAL where I live.

    Had a pizza delivered to my hotel room. Very tasty, but for the love of God, you better have a knife on hand. Slices were barely cut at all -- nothing like tearing a piping hot pizza pie to shreds with your bare hands. Hunger makes you desperate, I guess.

    Chicago deep Dish awesome experience, ordered a Half/Half super veggie and Bbq Bacon Chicken + some parmesan fries. The order took a really long time around 55 min to reach the table. Now about the food - It was good but not very tasty though the layering of ingredients were perfect with ample amount of veggie, cheese and chicken somewhere they lacked that basic "Taste" quotient. It was not mesmerizing enough to make you take bite after bite without thinking u know what I mean. Parmesan fries were really good and tasty comes with Ranch on the side. Overall a good experience and Warning for first timers is : the interior of the pizza can be as hot as a volcano so take small calculated bites.

    This is the first time I've ever had true deep dish Chicago style pizza...and I am smitten! Even the small...an oxymoron by anyone's standards, was huge. The small will feed two starving people. I know, cuz we were. Accent on the were, cuz now we are just two big, fat happy ticks with a to go box! We got the "Meat and more", and boy am I glad I did. They put all the meat on top of the pizza, so it's crispy, crunchy, salty delicious! And someone please explain the physics of how they make a 3 inch deep pizza, moist and juicy in the middle, yet,perfectly crispy meat, and a crunchy crust? A conundrum ...But, they defy physics. Call ahead for this bad boy, because it takes about 35 minutes to create perfection. They do have other food...but, frankly who cares? That pizza will haunt me in my dreams...dreams wet from slobber! So, in closing, all I can say is...Road Trip! They are located very close to an enormous rose water tower, for those of you, like me who are directionally challenged. Or ya could just follow that heavenly fragrance wafting through the Rosemont air. No matter how you get there...just get there!

    RACIST RACIST RACIST. I am writing this review weeks after the incident, so please believe that any knee-jerk emotions have passed. I called the Rosemont Giordano's location to inquire about having my wedding rehearsal dinner there this coming June. We thought this would be a great way to introduce our family and friends to Chicago! The woman on the phone said that while they don't have a private room that could hold us, they would be happy to accommodate us in a sectioned off area towards the back of the restaurant. This was just fine, so she took my information down and wrote a tentative reservation in my name for our date. My fiancé and I decided to stop in prior to our wedding menu tasting at the Loew's hotel (right up the street) to see what the restaurant and section looked like. Mind you, I am an African American woman and my fiancé is an African American man. The hostess (middle aged brunette Caucasian woman) greeted us, and when we informed her that we were scoping the place out for our wedding rehearsal dinner, she goes to the back to speak with the manager, or catering manager (not sure his name or title). She comes back and tells us, "Sorry, he says he can't accommodate you." I proceed to tell her that just a couple of days prior, I had spoken to someone on the phone who documented my reservation and said it would be no problem. She then tells me there's nothing she can do-- the man (whoever he is) said he can't accommodate us. So naturally my fiancé and I ask to speak to this man who was sneaking looks at us from his plain-view office right behind the hostess stand. Out walks an extremely heavy set Caucasian man, who says nothing but a VERY rude and blatant "No, we can't accommodate your group." and proceeds to walk away. I stop him and explain that we had already been told by someone on the phone that they could in fact take our reservation, to which he said "No. We can't take a reservation that time of year, too busy of a season." and continues to walk away. Needless to say, I had a Caucasian girlfriend of mine call the restaurant about two weeks later to make a reservation for a "birthday party" on the same day with the same number of people, and guess what? They were more than happy to take her reservation. To add insult to injury, I sent an email to Giordano's corporate over two weeks ago, documenting my experience and my dissatisfaction, and I have yet to hear ANYTHING back. I find it disgusting and outright ridiculous that a restaurant that I grew up on (I am born and raised in Chicago) has left such a terrible taste in my mouth now. I have spoken with the Sales and Catering Manager of our wedding hotel, as well as my wedding planner and they have both assured me that they will be sending all wedding and hotel guests in that area to Gino's East Pizzeria (just a few blocks away) instead of Giordano's from now on. I suppose that is the only shred of a positive outcome--knowing that this particular location will suffer reduced sales as a result of their blatant racism and disrespect. At the very least I truly hope they fire that bigot of a manager (or whatever his title is).

    The pizza is very good -- but the room temperature is truly RIDICULOUS!! This restaurant is so insanely cold that you honestly cannot enjoy your meal fully. I think most people enjoy a comfortable atmosphere - but ac overload is really unnecessary!! And it wasn't just me -- people at the next table were sitting in their north face jackets and with their hoods on - at the booth to our left a young girl was shivering!! I asked the manager if he could raise the temp - he said he'll see what he can do - basically nothing cuz the cold air kept blaring from the vents! GEEZ!!! Is it really needed to keep it at meat locker temps when it is 70 degrees outside???? If you do go I highly suggest asking to be seated on the outdoor patio -- unless you want icicles hanging off your body by the end of the meal!

    So this was like my 5th or 6th time in Chicago and I had yet to experience it's famed pizza (or Chicago Dog but that's another review). We were told it was about a 45 minute wait for a table so we put in our name and placed our pizza order (sausage & onion stuffed style) so we wouldn't have to wait so long for once we got our table. It took about 30 minutes for a table to come up but the place was packed and perfect for people watching. Once seated, I ordered a Green Line Pale and a house salad. The salad wasn't your typical iceberg topped with a few bland cherry toms, mediocre shredded mozz and dripping wet pepperoncini drowned in zesty Italian. No sir! This salad was made up of spring greens, radicchio, romaine & arugula with baby heirloom tomatoes & fresh fennel then tossed in a bright lemon vinaigrette and finished with shaved asiago. Just as we were polishing off our salads the pizza came out - I was so excited! The waitress served us our piping hot slices and even indulged us in "posing the pizza & slice" for a pic! With my first bite, I finally understood what people meant when they'd say "BJs isn't Chicago style pizza". I guess because BJs calls it "deep dish", people just think "Chicago" but the pizza here...oh-ho-ho! It was unlike any "thick crust" pizza I'd ever had; the meat to sauce to cheese ratio was perfect and the crust...oh how did they do it?!?! It wasn't all doughy or spongy or bland; it was crispy and buttery and flaky but not dry or hard. I still dream of this pizza. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE a nice thin crust pizza (review on that coming up too) but this pizza is a testament to ooey, gooey perfection. We ended the meal with the 3 mini cannolis but the ricotta cream filling was a little too pudding-y in taste and texture for me. I should have just had one more slice of pizza :/

    Yes! Yes! Their stuffed pizza was amazing! Sat at the bar, had some cold beers, watched some sports and GRUBBED on their stuffed pizza! I found out they over night their pizzas as well!! I will try to smuggle a frozen pizza back home. :)

    Our hotel concierge recommended this place and glad she did. Arrived around 5pm for an early dinner on a Thursday and we were seated right away. We were a party of 4 (3 adults 1 Child) and ordered the Large deep dish pizza, which was like No other pizza we ever imagined. Chicago does it big here with pizza. Visiting from NY, we were so shocked. We only ate 1 or 2 slices each before getting full. If having appetizers before hand with this group size. A medium pizza would suffice. For appetizers we had the bone-in buffalo wings-just the way I liked it (similar to dominos), and we checked in and subscribed to their newsletter and got the free garlic bread. UH-MAZING! Sign up to their mailing list and you get to choose one of two free appetizers. It's worth it! The sodas we ordered were flat and when telling the waitress, she replied "that's how it's supposed to be." Since when is soda supposed to be flat????? That downgraded to a 4 star for me. They also have a nice outside area with a warming fireplace to eat if you like that. Overall great food!

    Deep dish sausage = 96.5% cheese 2% bread 1% sauce .5% sausage. 98% not flavorful at all. Way too much cheese very little meat. Very disappointing. Lou's is much better or even Gino's. The crust is also terrible here.

  • Mandi M.

    Giordonos has great pizza. Hands down! I usally get the thin crust delivered or picked up, and you don't need to order extra cheese, it has alot of cheese, and its not cracker thin like most thin crusts, and thats what I love about it. I came here once to eat, and we had to wait about 25 minutes for a seat, and we ordered the deep dish, and had to wait about another 30 minutes for our pizza to come.It was soooooo good, but Its hard to wait when your starving, but its a nice place. I would recommend making reservations if your coming around dinnertime, or just ordering it for deliverly/pickup.

    Typical Chicago style pizza. Good crispy crust, tasty sauce and good cheese. Nothing spectacular, but nothing bad either. My only complaint was that the pie could have been hotter. You can preorder your pizza while you are waiting for your table. If you are waiting for a flight out of O'Hare and craving a Chicago style pizza, Giordano's is worth the stop.

  • Susan O.

    We again had a great meal here. When we arrived we were told 20 minute wait, we preordered our pizza and then grabbed a beer. Our table was ready before we even had our first sip of beer. Our food was wonderful and our waitress was very good. Everyone should eat here when in the Rosemont area

    I was in Chicago recently, and tried Giordano's...talk about "classic" Chicago! The stuffed pizza s amazing!! The crust, a buttery (but not over powering) goodness on the sides, and a almost cookie like consistency on the bottom works PERFECT with the sauce, cheese, fillings. It is everything you would want in a stuffed\deep dish pizza. They also do a "thin crust" which, while good...really pales in comparison to the stuffed pizza. Other items on the menu, stuffed Italian Beef Sandwiches, sausages, etc. all looked really good and worth a try on future visits.

    Where to begin... I recently tried to book my rehearsal dinner at this location. What a mistake. I called in December to book for March. They told me they don't open the calendar until January, ok. I called back one night in January and spoke to a hostess. I asked if she could please email me the catering menu since it's not available on line. She nicely said we are very busy but after the dinner rush I'll have a manager email one over. No problem, busy in a restaurant, I completely understand. 48 hours later still no email. I called back asked again to have the menu emailed. The hostess put a manager on the line. He asked if instead of email can he fax it. Fine, but I said I'd call back with a fax number. I called back about 10 minutes later to provide the #. I was greeted by the most rude man. I said I'm calling back to have the catering menu faxed to me. He instantly started rambling off all the catering prices. I tried to interrupt several times to tell him I wanted it faxed, but he just kept going. Finally once he was done I said I just want it faxed, that's what I was trying to tell you. He sighed (like I just wasted his time) and said fine whats the number. 48 hours later still no fax. I was blown away at this point by how rude and careless this staff is. I called back asked for the manager and told him I still had not received and email or fax. He barely apologized and said he would take care of it. I gave him the fax number. Would you believe it....STILL NO FAX. It's like these people didn't even want the money for the 40 person rehearsal dinner I was planning on having there. At this point I gave up. So I did what any aggravated customer would do....I wrote corporate. Needless to say after all of this I shouldn't be surprised that it is now March and I still have not had one response from the corporate office. I mean I guess the employees learn from the boss's. It doesn't seem like any of them even care about the business and that's not the type of restaurant that I'm going to spend my money at. After all of this I took my business down the street to the Ram Bar and Brewery. Now there is a place that will be getting an amazing recommendation from me. I understand that the pizza here may be really good, but if the staff is horribly unprofessional and corporate doesn't care then NO THANK YOU. I'll be getting my pizza elsewhere.

    You promise your aunts you will bring back their favorite CHICAGO DEEP DISH pizza. They prefer Lou Malnatis, but you prefer GINO's EAST so you say ok cool I'll cop some frozen GINO's right before I hop on my flight since there's one down the street from O'Hare right? WRONG! This Gino's by the airport requires a 24 hour order of frozen pizzas? WTF??? So you desperately ask wheres the nearest Deep Dish Pizza close by I got a flight I gotta make in 45minutes! So thank GOD theres a Giordano's a mile down. This Giordano's was GREAT! They had various frozen pizzas for me to choose from I got 2 frozen pizzas for my aunts with the works. I told them I had to catch a flight like now so they quickly wrapped up and packaged my 2 frozen pizzas. The lady even quickly taped up both pizzas and busted a MACGUYVER and made a suitcase package with a handle for me to carry onto the plane! They said the pizzas should stay frozen for 8 hours strong! The staff was quick, polite, efficient and friendly. I got my pizzas fast and ready to go and made my flight back.

  • Peter J.

    While I've hardly sampled the entire run of Chicago Pizza joints, I have little doubt that this one is far from the best. Not to say it's bad, but the extreme variance in quality of pizzas I sampled, along with the overbearing, yet somewhat dull cheese and crust, left me a bit aloof. Oddly enough, as someone who doesn't really order veggie anything, I ended up enjoying the veggie pizza from Giordano's more than the others I sampled. It just simply had more flavor, and variety thereof. The vegetables also stood up to the massive crust and provided some much needed texture. The pepperoni must have been the most nondescript, nay nonexistant pizza topping I have ever had. If I hadn't already known it was a pepperoni pie, I probably would have walked away thinking it was just a cheese one. The pepperoni was extremely thin, and soft, blending into the rest of the pie, and offered virtually no flavor of its' own. The sausage had similar issues, though it was noticeably better. In the end, I'd say the crust here is just too thick, and soft, almost to the point of being undercooked. Without any noticeable texture from the crust, and the relative blandness of the crust and cheese overwhelming the sauce and toppings, a Giordano's pizza is a stuffing, if less than amazing meal. Not bad, but it could be much better.

    Came here for lunch today with a group of four people. I've been here before and really enjoy the pizza - their stuffed is one of my favorites. This short review is just to vent a bit about the wait for our food. We ordered our individual pizzas and waited at least 45 minutes before it arrived. I knew it'd take some time, but not THAT long! Only a few others diners were in the restaurant, too! We were pretty cranky about this since we had to be somewhere at a certain time and basically shoveled the food in our mouths when it arrived. Meh. Won't be coming back here during lunch again. But their stuffed pizza IS to die for....

  • Charity K.

    We went to Giordano's for lunch after arriving at O'Hare. I had heard nothing but fabulous things about Chicago deep dish pizza, and the guy at Enterprise recommended Giordano's. Well, I think the problem is that I just don't really like Chicago pizza. I like a softer crust, and when I think of deep dish, I think of a thicker, bready crust. The crust, though, is pretty thin, and the deep dish part is all cheese. If I had gotten more than just black olives, I may have liked it more, but I am a pretty basic pizza eater. The garlic bread was just average, as was the service. Our server was nice enough but didn't seem excited to be at work or really interested in anything. The place was just average; a little run down, but in general, average. There was nothing that I would say was bad about our experience, but it would not be my first choice next time.

    Heaven for a hometown homesick girl!! I was recently back home in Chicago for the first time in years. I was craving some GOOD pizza (unlike what I can get where I live now). The concierge at my hotel recommended Giordano's, just up the road. Skeptical, I ventured out. Growing up, I had never really been a fan of deep dish pizza, having always had thin crust instead (since that's what the "fam" always ordered"), but I gave it a go anyway. The waitress was very friendly, even as busy as she was. She was quick with drink refills without me asking. I ordered a deep dish pepperoni/sausage/extra cheese. She told me 30 minutes, but seemed shorter. Perhaps it was the Bulls game on the tube, perhaps it was looking at all the great Chicago pictures and posters and signs up on their walls. Regardless, the time flew. When my pizza got there, it was phenominal. I was able to eat two slices before getting stuffed beyond words. It was absolutely amazing!! I had no idea what I was missing all those years. Next time I'm back, I'm DEFINITELY heading over there!!

    This is a chain and they do a great volume of business. The restaurant was filled with customers and we waited only about 10 minutes for our table, and they give you a pizza pager when your table is ready. We ordered a small 10" deep dish pizza ($10.95) and it was way too much for us. We are not big eaters and 1 slice was plenty. We ordered a sausage and mushroom and it was very good and we enjoyed it. The cheese is mild and unlike a regular mozzarella on a thin crust pizza that I'm use too. We had leftovers for another meal the next day. I wished I ordered it with spinach bc of other yelp reviews...maybe next time. The staff was very nice and attentive.

  • Jonathan G.

    I have eaten at Giordano's both in Chicago and in Orlando. My first visit was to the Orlando location. I would have liked to have tried the deep dish pizza, but the waiter said that the wait would be 45 minutes to an hour - sorry, no go with that. I tried the thin crust instead and would grade it a C-. The sauce and cheese were decent but the bottom crust had a bizarre consistency. I tried again in Chicago, but the thin crust pizza was about the same - edible, but not memorable. The eggplant parm dinner in Orlando was quite good - and I would return for that. I also ordered a greek salad, which was good as well. Bottom line for me: don't waste your time with the thin crust pizza. The deep dish looks good but you may want to call ahead to order. The eggplant parm is well above average.

    If you're looking for deep dish Chicago Pizza, this is the place to be. Excellent food. I took one star off because it took a very long time for our pizza to arrive after ordering... about 45 minutes. The quality of food was excellent. Our server was courteous and attentive.

    Ahhhh, Giordano's. My old stand by when staying at the Westin O'Hare. Still tasty and not too pricey like room service. We went here with some friends after some dance workshops at the Salsa Congress for dinner - I had an appletini and the spaghetti with meat sauce, my girl had the Pasta Alfredo and the guys had a deep dish pizza, I think 2 of them it was their first. (You know you never forget your 1st...) It was good, filling. I took some back to our room and snacked on my leftover before I made everyone Caipirinha's and the girls and I got dressed for the Social that night. Oh, and if you're too tired - they deliver!

    We had a layover at Chicago O'Hare and we wanted some traditional deep dish pizza as we made our way to Amsterdam. We were able to get some good advice in the airport. We snagged a free airport shuttle to a nearby hotel and walked over to Giordano's. Allow some time for the Pizza. The 45 minute wait might be a shocker if your aren't used to deep dish wait time. The pizza was amazing. Thick buttery crust that I still dream of. A much better way to kill some time than hanging out in the airport.

    We ate here twice this week, once in house and one delivery. The stuffed pizza is EXCELLENT, and the small is definitely enough for 2! The cheese bread was weak and u don't need it anyways.

    Date Visited: Saturday 7/25/09 (Lunch) This location opens at 11 a.m. and by george we were there right at 11. We were staying at the O' Hare Hilton and had an afternoon flight, but I hadn't had my pizza in Chicago yet. This was my last chance. Is a stuffed pizza considered Chicago style at all? I don't know that I totally cared. I just wanted pizza while I was there. So, we hopped the train one stop and walked to the restaurant. It was a fairly easy walk. We were the first to arrive (by 5 seconds) and seated by the window. Our server and another who talked to us had European accents and were both very nice. My fiance ordered a thin crust veggie with no cheese. I ordered a stuffed pizza with black olives. She warned me that it would take approx. 35 minutes, which was actually really nice even though that was in the menu. I'm sure a lot of people don't pay attention to how long it might take and get annoyed by the wait. We were in no hurry and saw that the restaurant eventually started to fill up more and more. The pizzas came and our server served our first slice of pizza before she left. I could tell that there were going to be leftovers. At 11:30 a.m., I hardly had an appetite to begin with. I still managed to eat 2 slices (the thick high crust was not consumed by choice). It was delicious. We boxed up the rest of my pizza and what was left of my fiance's. I can see why this place was recommended.

    Came to Chicago for work and wanted to get my authentic Chicago style pizza on before heading back to AZ. Fellow Yelpers didn't let me down as this place came recommended and was near our hotel. Place was pretty normally decorated as you would expect from an Italian restaurant, and we were seated quickly. Drink service was fast and our server was friendly. After the drinks dropped, we ordered food which took about the time she told us if not a little quicker. I ordered the stuffed pizza with ground beef in the small size. It was really tasty, although I'd say that there was quite a decent amount of cheese on it, like a lot actually. Great pizza for cheese lovers. I was only able to eat half of it even though I was pretty hungry. Price seemed reasonable, but I'm honestly not familiar with the typical pricing schemes of Chicago, it would have been a little pricey for AZ. My friend had nothing bad to say about his Chicken Alfredo either and hid Captain and Coke was made quite generously as well he stated. All in all a pretty great little restaurant. Definitely give it a try.

    We spent our last two nights at the Wyndham O'Hare, and there were Giordano's delivery menus all over the lobby. Since I wasn't too keen on spending a day out in the cold, I decided that I would stay in the hotel on Sunday, watch football and have Giordano's delivered to the room. The Giordano's pizza was infinitely more satisfying than the Malnati's pie I had the day before, but it's also the same style of pie that I'm used to getting at Zachary's here in the Bay Area. Steph P., who's from the Chicago area, once told me she didn't really like Zachary's because it tasted "too fresh." I think the freshness is what I like about Zachary's rendition of Chicago deep dish. Plus I prefer Zachary's tangy and acidic tomatoes to Giordano's milder tomatoes. Overall, a really good pie, but next time I'm in town, I'm going to check out some of Chicago's other pizza options.

  • Ericka A.

    I finally tried Lou Malnati's and this again. No disrespect to LM's (they are quite good), but I've decided Giordano's is the better of the two. I think it has to do with the taste/consistency of the crust and the fact that the cheese in the stuffed really adds to clogging my arteries, my ultimate goal.

    Most Giordano's locations I have been to are decent, but the pizza doesn't quite hold up to Malnati's and they tend to screw some things up. This is an exception.

    Deep dish chicago pizza. Do I need to say anything else? Came here after the DePaul & Syracuse game at the Allstate (Not much of a game, but i digress). If you're in chicago and you want pizza, you put this in your face and you smile. Its dericious. There isn't anything else i can say about this place. Yes, there is usually a half hour wait for your pie. Get an appetizer or come with a group and chat about stuff, you won't leave dissapointed.

    Four stars because of service and the salad, The Stuffed pizza was OK but I would have preferred it to be hotter and the green peppers cooked a bit more. Granted, I'm originally from New York and I like NY style pizza best but that didn't effect my rating because I'm not comparing Chicago Style Stuffed Pizza to Brooklyn Style Pizza. We ordered the Greek salad (the 3 of us) and split it, it was more than enough. I really enjoyed the anchovies and Feta cheese and would have liked a few more black olives. The service was excellent, patient when we needed more time to decide and fast once we did. They were even fast when we ask them to order us a cab to take us back to our hotel.

    I know everyone has their favorites, but you can't go wrong with Giordano's pizza. What hasn't been said about this place. I had the stuffed pizza, wings, salad, fried mushrooms.. etc. They all met with expectations.

    Now I come from the great pizza state of Connecticut, but this pie seems like a different food altogether. I really liked the crust and the cheese in the stuffed pie ( deep dish to us novices).I did not care for the red sauce. At this very casual spot I also appreciated the friendly service and vintage ads. After this kind of lunch I I need a nap.

    Deep Fried app combo looked like the frozen preprocessed boringness. Pizza was ok, crust not as good as it should be. Sauce was a little runny and the toppings all slid off once it started getting a little cold. Lou Malnatis is a better choice

    We went to Giordano's because it was the closest "Chicago-style" pizza near the airport. It was good (nothing incredible), the wait wasn't too long, the service was good, and the prices were better than Uno. This will probably become my deep-dish chain of choice when I'm in the area.

    Best deep dish, hands down. I travel to Chicago regularly, and I can't leave without having Giordano's deliver a deep dish. Don't tell me Geno's East is better. It's not. Giordano's by far is the best in town.

    Flying through Chicago on business and was told that I had to go here for the stuffed pizza. I got a small pepperoni and could only finish two slices (amongst a decent amount of beer as well). It was literally a cheese pie on flakey pie crust. Pretty amazing, but as expected and a little overwhelming. The decor was as expected as well. An older feeling place with rubber seats in the booths and walls full of pictures. Remeniscant of pizza parlors I've visited in New York. Very welcoming and unique in it's own right. Would highly recommend, but wouldn't work travel plans around it.

    Great deep dish pizzas and sandwiches! If you're in for a heavy high calorie pizza Chicago style this is the place to be. The fried Zuchini, mushroom and cheese stick appetizers are awesome too! There was no space for desert :(

    Holy Schnikies - this is substantial pizza! We ordered two par-baked pies for overnight delivery to Virginia to celebrate the inauguration of Barack Obama with friends. Indeed, the pies arrived as-ordered and on-time; frozen solid and securely packed in a Styrofoam cooler with dry ice. Yes, the shipping costs are steep - about the same as, cough, two pizzas - but what a cool way to celebrate history! Just defrost and bake in the oven for 20-minutes for pizza that tastes pretty-darn-close to the belly-stuffers served in a Giordano's restaurant. Did I mention substantial? The first clue is how heavy these little bricks, er, pizzas are. Then there's the massive outer edge crust. Forget about light, airy and crisp crusts - Giordano's are solid and dense and built to hold all the large pieces of sausage (or other "toppings"), ricotta and mozzarella. Finally, they're topped with another layer of crust and doused with tomato sauce. Giordano's are knife and fork pizzas; cut into one and the cheese ingredients just ooze out. And, boy, is it good! The six of us managed to work our way through one pie while watching the evening highlights of the inaugural ceremony and, later, the inaugural balls. The other pizza is in the freezer - we'll serve that at our Super Bowl party. Clearly, the best way to enjoy Giordano's is to get the pizza fresh from the oven and directly to the table. But if you're outside of Chicagoland, you can still get your Giordano's fix by ordering online.

    I'd love to get behind this Chicago sensation. And I do....for the delicious, amazing chopped salad. But not for the pizza. Being an airline crew member, I've been to this location by O'Hare several times since it's right next door to our hotel. I'm just not a big fan of the pizza....It tastes frozen, or like out of a grocery store. The toppings are fine...but the crust is bleh. No thanks. I've learned my lesson and will enjoy the salads.

    We stayed at the Marriott Suites, and this was a 5 minute walk from the hotel. We ordered a medium (meat) and a small (vegetarian) pizza for the six of us, and it was way too much food. I would advise you to err on the side of caution when deciding how much food to order here. Everything was very good, served in a timely manner (considering the amount of time a deep dish takes to prepare). We were in town for 4 days and three nights, and had a stuffed pizza battle royale between Giordano's and Uno, with a day off in between the two places (this was wise). I really like Giordano's, but Uno was my favorite of the two (review to follow). Next time we will have to try a different pizzeria. I understand this is a topic of discussion that people get very passionate about.

    There were 2 things I wanted on my first trip to Chicago- an authentic Chicago dog (read my review on 'Wiener Circle') and authentic Chicago Deep Dish pizza. Well Chicago, you have stolen my heart. Never again will I be the same. Never again will I be able to bite into a limp, sad, weak piece of California pizza with out a little bit of my soul weeping. I mean wow. Wow.

    Continuing on our quest for spectacular Chicago-style deep dish pizza, we tried the Giordano's in Rosemont... I can't say that we tried them all, but so far, I have to say that Giordano's is the best so far! I am reserving a fifth star in case I find something better! We ordered a 8 inch stuffed crust pizza with our usual, Italian Sausage, pepperoni, green peppers, mushrooms, onions, and basil. We were blown away at the depth of this beautiful pie and my picky wife loved the sauce! I think we both agreed that this is a definite 9 on our 1-10 scale. Very yummy especially with a pint of Blue Moon!

    Coming to Chicago for the first time we had to have ourselves some deep dish pizza. Overall, I was happy with our large deep dish pizza with veggies. We also got the family appetizer plate....overall all the food was extremely filling and yummy. The food was really reasonably priced for the amount you get. The place was packed but we still managed to get a seat in less than 20 minutes. I have had better deep dish at a small little place in Rocklin, Ca....but was happy to have the Chicago experience.

    Wow! I was staying around the corner for some work training and my coworkers and I had gotten in around lunch and the doorman at our hotel suggested this place. He said it was "the best" pizza in Chicago and it was walking distance. It's tucked away behind a gas station and a McDonald's and when you walk inside you feel like it's been there for 40-50 years. It's very charming and non-threatening. I noticed a lot of families in there and found it very endearing. I'm not sure if it's b/c there's a higher divorce rate or what but it was nice. The three of us couldn't agree on a single pizza to split and it's probably good we didn't. We went with the Spinach dip and shared and holy crap! It's sooo good! The three of us decided to go with personal stuffed pizza's. I want to say they're around $6.50 for a cheese and $.50 per each topping. I'm now getting hungry writing this....BUT! The whole thing was amazing. The cheese is fresh mozzarella not the cheese pellets or processed shredded cheese. You can actually see cheese BALLS in the pizza! The crust..oh the crust. I never ever would've imagined the crust would've been the way it is. It was almost like the perfect marriage of thick and thin crusts. Obviously it was thick and tasty but right around the top of it it felt and tasted like a thin crust pizza and it was just a world of textures and flavors. I want more. I want more now!

  • Tyler W.

    The crust is amazing, and this place is a solid stuffed pizza joint. My boss and I (two young guys) couldn't even finish half a pizza - that's a heavy pizza my friends. This thing was quite tasty, we got the supreme (no mushrooms) and it was good, I feel like had I gotten one of their other pizzas I would have enjoyed it more. Mushroomless supreme is kinda pointless. But even with my ingredient error (do I look like I know how to spell fopaw?) I still loved this place and would return. Family ambiance, good for relaxing and hanging out with a ridiculous pizza and a cold beer. Beer selection could be better! Tyler

    Every time I visit Chicago (only twice thus far), I have to get some genuine Chicago deep dish. Last time, it was Gino's East. The pizza there was really great and had more cornmeal in its crust. I'm pretty serious about my crust and loved Gino's East, so I was hesitant to try Giordano's. We were staying in Elk Grove Village and needed a location nearby, so we decided to try Giordano's in Rosemont. We loved it! We ordered a medium and were able to eat it for 2+ meals (that's for both my boyfriend and I-- he has a pretty voracious appetite for pizza). So if you're ordering for 3 or 4 people, I suggest the medium. Call your order in about 40 minutes before you want to dig in 'cause it does take some time to make such a thick pizza. We had sausage and green peppers on our's-- delicious. The crust here is thick like Gino's East but almost has a pastry-like flakyness. It's AMAZING! Chicago deep dish is in a pizza arena of its own. Don't try to compare it to other pizza because it's like "comparing apples and oranges." Definitely try Giordano's!!

  • Corin W.

    I'm reviewing this location because I couldn't find the three near me: the Lake Zurich one, the gurnee one, and the one over in Fox Lake. I ate at this Rosemont location a lot in my 20's. I love Giordano's pizza, the thin crust is so buttery you just can't deny the excellence of the product. But I've noticed that I can't go there and get a pizza without it costing us 30 bucks every time we go. Considering the large thin-crust pizza is as small as it is: That seems a bit high for me right now. But would I say I've regretted any meal there? No.

    I have no idea why is Giordano's so popular. Seriously people, if you have tried their pizza and you didn't like it, try somewhere more iconic like Uno or Lou Malnati's. To me, they are what Chicago pizza really is. Giordano's deep dish is doughy, thick, and has way too much cheese. I could never manage to go for the second slice. The service is good but I just didn't like the pizza.

  • KEY K.

    My husband and I had our rehearsal dinner at Giordano's. As a Chicago native, my husband and I live in Ohio but wanted a Chicago wedding. We wanted our Ohio guests to experience some of the best things Chicago has to offer, and Giordano's is one of our favorites! For approximately $500, we fed 25 people unlimited salad, pasta, pizza, and pop. The staff was friendly, efficient, and always available. The restaurant was clean and very convenient for my out of town guests staying in hotels near O'Hare. The salad and pasta were good, but we obviously went easy on those to save room for the pizza. We had plenty of leftovers for our guests to eat in the hotel room, as one slice really fills you up!

    My first trip to Chicago this past week, my boyfriend and I were famished after our plane touched down around 9 in the evening... After checking in at the hotel, we started looking around for places to eat. This Giordano's was open until 10:30 (and being that it was 10:15 at the time we knew we had to rush). We pre-ordered a deep dish and we were seated as soon as we arrived- no issues with the time at all. Our server (oh I wish I remembered her name!) was so kind, even though we were there WELL past closing. The pizza was absolutely amazing (kicks the pizza's ass here in California for SURE) and the cannoli was delicious! This place was definitely a treat. Will be ordering from their website and have some Giordano's in California for all my friends :)

  • Virginia T.

    I've never dined in at this location but when I recently stayed at the Wynham O'hare nearby we called them for delivery. It WAS $40 for one large and one extra large pizza....but I knew Giordano's is pricey going into it. Our order was right and tasty--and arrived hot, despite the fact that they told us "within the hour" and it took 64 minutes (but it WAS a Saturday night). They also get bonus points for bringing Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, forks, plates, and napkins with the order!

    Good deep dish but not as good as Gino's East In my quest for the ultimate Chicago deep dish pizza since I am here on business and we have no decent pizza in California, I am trying all the Chicago spots in a contest. Had Ginos' East last week and was fantastic. Today was busy at work and no time for lunch so around 3pm, I ordered me a medium deep dish pie. It came an hour later and I chowed down on a slice. Tasty! But the crust is not as good as Gino's east that I had last week. Overall was good! Now I need to compare Gino's East and Giordano's against Pizza Uno and Lou Malnati's. Summary- best for delivery or take out when you need a big meal and cannot leave work.

    My boyfriend and I had eaten here twice. Once was in the resturant and the second time was take out. We dined in and had a medium with an appitizer as we were starving. It was good and my boyfriend can eat, but the pie kicked our butts. The next time we had it, it was take out and had a couple of sides a small or personal pizza and dessert. We couldn't finish the pizza again. There were only 4 slices I think. We had tiramisu and canoli. Both were good. loved them both. We figured we likes New York pizza more because it was thinner.

  • Alan J.

    Had a thin crust pizza here, it was okay. Mine is much better. Then I also have high standards. Whenever I go to New York I make a pilgrimage to John's. I was surprised that it took them 45 minutes to make a thin crust pizza as well. The crust was probably the same that they used on the deep dish - which is just wrong. It was grainy and crumbly - thin crust should be yeasty and full of gluten, pulled tight and thin and baked to cracker crispness. This one was too thick, had a grainy texture, and crumbled.

    This place is fantastic after a long plane ride. It's just around the corner from the airport--and what a fantastic way to reward yourself! The deep dish spinach is what I usually go for, and it never disappoints. The service here has always been friendly too.

    it really is a PIE! Boy did I regret eating 2 loafs of the fresh bread they give out and a side order of salad and lasagna...because when I finally got to the pizza I was already so stuffed...the cheese on that thing is crazy...i mean who can say no to too much cheese? but seriously this thing had TOO MUCH cheese!! to much for my heart to handle..

    I love this place since I eat here every year to get my fix in tiny Rosemont. It's pretty good service-wise and the pizzas are always pretty consistent. They are freaking huge but I guess that's the style. The crowd is interesting but then I'm here with bodybuilders and photographers when I am in town so we're probably just as funky to them...

    I swung by here for the "Chicago's world famous stuffed pizza". This is less pizza and more Cheese Pie. Seriously, one slice is like a brick of cheese with tomato sauce smeared on top. Way too much pasteurized dairy for a mid day meal - for any meal. Also, like most pizza joints - the salads are an afterthought.

  • Holly T.

    This was recommended to me as one of the best places to get pizza in Chicago. So imagine my delight on my first night that my roommate informed me that they delivered to our hotel. Perfect, that's where I wanted to go anyway! But then we called to place our order and were told it would take an hour an a half! Maybe that's standard in Chicago, but sheez, I couldn't wait that long to eat. Not to mention the person on the phone was not very helpful (they had brochures at my hotel, yet when we called they didn't know where the hotel was). So we scratched that plan and ate dinner in the hotel restaurant. Unfortunately, the hotel restaurant dinner was rather unsatisfying, and I was still hungry, so I decided to order a Giordano's pizza anyway. Since I already had something in my stomach, I could handle the hour and a half wait. When the pizza was ready, the driver called my cell phone and asked me to meet him outside, since he didn't want to deliver to my room. OK, well if you've seen the gargantuan maze that is the Marriott O'Hare, I don't really blame him, but still. It was pretty confusing finding a place to meet each other, but eventually I got my pizza. The up side to the fact that I had to go outside, though, was the fact that I saw Gino's across the parking lot. I really have to say I was not impressed with the pizza. It was certainly good, but not quite what it was hyped up to be. It was a very deep dish stuffed pizza, that literally looked like a pizza pie. I got the spinach stuffed pizza, and the spinach had an odd texture to it. The crust was all right, not too greasy, but unremarkable. Afterwards, I was kind of annoyed that I had to deal with this slow and inefficient delivery, when Gino's was just across the way, though I didn't know that at the time. I am glad that I got to try a Chicago stuffed pizza, even if it wasn't that memorable. (Update: it's been suggested to me that it probably tastes much better straight out of the pan rather than in a pizza box, which I'm sure is true!) If you're staying at the Marriott, I recommend Gino's over Giordano's, both for convenience and for better pizza, IMHO.

  • Jovia F.

    Ive been to a few Giordanos locations. This one being 5 minutes from my house, I'm glad its one of the better ones Ive been to. The pizza is, well, its giordanos. The cheese is good, the crust is average, and the toppings are pretty basic. The pasta is far too expensive for the portions and quality if you ask me. And I'm fairly sure the mozz sticks are the frozen grocery store type. I may be a little jaded of the place because Ive been there so many times, but its not like I wouldn't go again. Its good, but the service can be absolutely terrible sometimes. One thing a server should never do is sit at an empty table near you and chat while youre staring at her waiting for service...and this has happened a few times. I also think that when a restaurant is empty, you shouldn't be serving flat soda from a pitcher to people. Otherwise the place is clean and the environment is nice...there's just better places to get a pizza.

  • S F.

    Sorry my Chicago friends, but this New Yorker gives Giordano's and its poor excuse for pizza a HUGE thumbs down. Before you chalk this review up to yet another New Yorker who hates on non-NY pizza, I loved Lou Malnati's pizza. This, however, sucked. The dough was too doughy and had too much flour. The sauce was equivalent to Stouffer's frozen pizza. Horrible. I actually give this spot a 2 only because the service was good and staff was friendly. The concept of pre-ordering your pizzas is fantsatic, and the restaurant was very timely with getting our food to us. That said, the true benefit of pre-ordering was getting to leave this spot earlier so I could catch my flight back to NYC. :) Go to Lou's instead - seriously.

    They have a good selection of Italian food, but it is the pizza that made this place famous, and that is what I recommend you get. Their thick crust is probably what put them on the map in the first place.

    Excellent pizza, and excellent service. Even though i was a half hour late (a curse on Friday night traffic!!) meeting the group i was having dinner with. The parking lot is a bit hard to get into. Of course I was trying to turn left into it during rush hour, and almost wound up in the banquet place next door ... that blasted Friday night traffic again, lol. I also found the calamari to be most excellent, possibly the best i've ever had. And of course, the deep dish pizza was qujte good, as always! :)

    If you're staying at any of the hotels in rosemont, DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE. I was told there was a 1.5 hour wait, which I was fine with. I told them that I was fine with the wait and that the pizza show up a bit later but at a specific time. The order time rolls by and nothing. Several calls and assurances that the pizza was on the way already, it's been an hour since the order time. I call again only for them to dismiss the issue as it being a busy night. After several calls and another hour goes by, the pizza finally shows up cold and terrible. We ended up waiting 3.5 hours for a pizza that was supposed to take 1.5, and it was the worst pizza I've ever had once it got here. Order from literally any other pizza place if you're staying in one of the hotels.

    After coming to Chicago for the 9th time in my life I can tell you that I have not tasted something as delicious as Giordano's Deep Dish Pizza. It just melts on your mouth and you can feel those flavors locked in. The second time I visited, I tried the Ravioli with Meat Sauce and I wanted to take more of that home (Miami that is). Both times, not only the food was tasty but also the server was very attentive to my needs (Tom made me feel just like if I had been there all my life)

    I wish i could give 0 stars for their service. I love their dip dish pizza. I went there tonight waited close to 2 hrs then they told us oven was broke.

Will never step foot there again

    **3.5 Stars** Food takes a while and service can be on the slower side. We came on a Monday right after it opened and there were plenty of seats. We ordered the Special Deep Dish, which took about 35 minutes to come out... I guess deep dishes just take a while to bake in the oven! I'm not an expert on pizza and this was my first time eating a deep dish, but the bottom was crispy and it's very filling. There was only 2 waitresses working so I guess that was why service was slow...

  • Lena R.

    For its food, I'd say this place deserved at least 4 stars; however, because of the slow service I could only give them a 3. I understand that they are busy, but shouldn't you still come by the table to apologize or briefly stop at the table to see if anything further is needed? I won't lie, our table ordered caesar salad, bbq wings, mozza sticks, & a Chicago Classic Deep Dish & yes everything was good but the food isn't the thing that brings people back time and time again--customer service does.

    Do you want to experience excellent deep dish Chicago pizza? Then this place is your golden ticket! We showed up without a reservation and had to wait 45 minutes to be seated, but it was all good when the bar is close by! =o) The restaurant has a fun and inviting atmosphere upon entering; the staff however were not as inviting. i am not sure if they were just having a crazy busy evening and not realizing how short and kind of rude they were being to the people waiting to be seated. Still leaves a bad feeling as you are waiting around. Once we were seated, we instantly were ready to order. A big heads up...If you are ordering a deep dish pizza you have to account that it will take 45 minutes to cook. So, we will now have been there for another 45 min after we waited 45 minutes to be seated. Good thing there was still pitchers of beer and the world series was on! Go GIANTS! We ordered a family salad to share and 3 medium pizzas for a table of 6, which by the way is waaaaayyyyy to much food for how thick these deep dish pizzas are. You can order pizzas that are specialty pizzas or create your own. We created our own pizzas and ordered two deep dish pizzas, one had meatballs and garlic the other with jalapeños and gardenia. The jalapeños were so spicy my lips were burning, but it was good. The meatballs were incredible in the pizza considering I was not too sure on how I felt about full-sized meatballs baked in a pizza. We also got a gluten free pizza which I honestly do not know came on it because I only made it through the two pieces of the deep dish and that was a feat in and of itself! We had some serious pizza left over that we could have probably feed 2 to 3 other people!

    A friend recommended eating here while we were on our day trip to Chicago. I'm normally a thin crust pizza kind of person, but decided to try the stuffed deep dish. I have to say I'm impressed! This pizza was delicious! I especially appreciated that it wasn't swimming in sauce! (I've had Chicago pizza once before and hated how much sauce was on it.) The only complaint i have is that our waitress was really slow. The next time we're in town, I could see us eating here again!

    Giordano's in Rosemont has a nice dining area and patio. Unfortunately, they fail to clarify in their menu that when ordering pizza, the spinach option comes with cheese. The first time we went there we were unaware of this. As a individual who suffers from extreme lactose intolerance this is very important. The manager was very nice and made us a new pizza and didn't charge us for it. Our second visit went without a hitch. Our third visit was an epic fail. We ordered two pizzas, one pizza with cheese only and one pizza NO cheese, green peppers, mushrooms, onions and broccoli. We waited 45 minutes for the pizza to arrive at the table. We had to return the pizza with the veggies because they put cheese. When ordering we specified that we did not want any cheese on the second pizza. They took this pizza back and promised to make another pizza with no cheese. They stated that this one would be reAdy faster because it had no cheese. Another 40 minutes go by and two people from our group had not eAten yet. We asked for our bill because we were just frustrated and hungry. The new pizza was no where in sight. We asked to have that pizza removed from our bill. Our server comes back with a pizza in a box and he stated that there would be no charge for the error. We get home and find out that the pizza, a stuffed/deep dish , the dough placed on the top was not fully cooked. Really? How many cooks does it take to get a pizza made right? I know the "no charge for the pizza" is to make up for their error; however, that is not the point. Get your stuff together and make the pizza righ the first time around. I ended up going home and making myself a hummus sandwich with pickles instead. I'm not going to eat pizza with half cooked dough. I'm definitely never stepping foot in there again. Huge disappointment.

    I would have given this place 5 stars, since it has been one of my favorite Giordano's locations for many years...but something happened during my last visit. First of all, they are currently doing renovations - which, when complete, look to be fabulous!! I was impressed that despite all the renovations, the location was warm, and clean - really clean. Now, on to what happened....we ordered 1/2 pepperoni 1/2 sausage..all with mushrooms. When the pizza arrived, the waitperson asked who wanted pepperoni - I said I wanted pepperoni, and my BF wanted sausage. OK, so she serves us each a slice. So I will take partial blame on this one because I should ALWAYS check, but I did not, I blindly went in and started eating...and got a big piece of sausage..I had to spit it out at the table - it was gross, I know, but anyone who knows me, knows that I really dislike sausage on pizza - I mean it literally makes me sick to my stomach. So, my BF and I switch plates because it turns out, HE has pepperoni. Next slice, my BF gives me a slice of pepperoni because, according to him, that pepperoni and little piece of sausage on top of the pizza indicate where each section is, and the waitperson didn't look closely...ok - once again, I blindly go it - once again I spit up sausage - that was it for me. I could not eat any more. So, besides my naivete, who is to blame here? The wait staff? the cook in the back who didn't mark the pizza correctly? Not sure, but it ruined my experience during this visit. I was not happy at all. Sure, it won't stop me from returning here...but I will definitely inspect each slice, or just order a pizza with my fave toppings just for me. ps - love the parmesan fries...

    Giordano's gets two stars because the food is pretty good. I deducted three stars because they make it so incredibly difficult and painful to get that food. I'm in Rosemont every week on business and I stay at a hotel that's less than a quarter-mile away. The first time I ordered from Giordano's, I placed the order over the phone. I had to repeat the order six times before the girl taking the order got it right. This was a two-item order, btw. Then I had to give my credit card number four times before she copied it down correctly. After two tries, I told her I'd just pay cash. Nope. Phone orders have to be paid by card. The following week, I elected to get my food delivered. There was a $5.00 delivery charge! This is literally a quarter-mile away, mind you. Electing not to pay $5 for a minimum-wage delivery boy to drive 30 seconds, and also choosing not to deal with the phone girl, I've been placing my orders on their website and picking them up. The website does not allow you to specify a pickup time of less than one hour from your order time, so don't be too hungry when you order that way. Also, make up your mind before you start the order. If you delete an item or go back to add another item, it wipes the entire order and you have to start from scratch. This is especially annoying because you can't see the price of an item until after you've added it to your order. Now you go to pick up your order; that's when the fun really starts. In spite of the hour+ lead time, you order won't be ready when you get there about 50% of the time. I've waited up to an additional half-hour for my food. More than once, they've forgotten that I was waiting there and neglected to tell me when my order _was_ ready. Now I just go back to the counter and bug them every couple of minutes. All this is a pity because the food really is quite good, as you can tell by the back that I do keep going back in spite of all this silliness. I just wish they'd get their act together.

    In 2011 I began working in the area, so by default I came here with some coworkers. There are Giordano's locations all over the place, and the food is the same quality at all of them. Dining in has not presented any problems that I can recall, other than a coworker getting diet coke instead of regular...but that will happen anywhere, and is easily resolved with the greatest of speed. This location is 5 minutes from the airport, and believe me, it can get very busy here. During the last year or so, I will call in an order for pickup, and the order has always been ready on time. Lately though the orders have been a little off where it leaves you feeling a bit frustrated. For example, I get their north side Italian beef, and it comes with a container of dipping sauce. But when the lid for that sauce is broken...guess what...it spills everywhere. If you pick up and want ketchup...guess what...no ketchup...so what's the point of French fries? And especially what aggravates is when you open the to go box and there is no napkin, fork, or knife. That's when the frustration sets in and the ability to enjoy the meal fades away. But alas...the food is well priced, convenient, and every employee there has always greeted me with a smile. So three stars for this location, and I'll see you guys again soon.

    My boyfriend and I never had Deep Dish Pizza and this place was recommended as being the best. We were told prior to going and while there that a deep dish would take 45 minutes to make. We got a drink at the bar, were seated, and still wound up waiting about an hour and 15 minutes. Although our waitress was friendly, she was not attentive. We got an appetizer (parmesan garlic fries) which took a while to be brought out. I ordered a beer once we got the pizza and waited 20 minutes before cancelling it and asking for the check. The waitress still put the cancelled beer on the bill so we had to wait even longer while she took that off. Overall experience was not great. The pizza was good and they had a good selection of beers but the service ruined it.

    Stuck in Chicago overnight and decided to make the best of a bad situation. The restaurant was close by the hotel so I gave it a try. Sat at the bar on a very busy Friday night and was greeted and served right away. The bartenders were friendly and attentive. Ordered a small pepperoni deep dish and got it in about 35 mins (I was told about the wait beforehand and understood because of how busy they were). It was well worth the wait! The pizza was amazing! Hopefully I get stuck here again so I can get more pizza. 5 stars for this place!

    I've been frequenting this location for year every time I attend conventions in the Rosemont, IL area. I've never had a problem with service nor with the food. I'm not exactly a fan of their deep dish, but many of my colleague and friends just love it.

    Visiting from nashville tn. This is the best pizza in the world. Mya was my server, very good person, great sales woman very open, polite, knew the menu very well.had a appetizer a little different but the pizza man o man very fresh alot of topping and could only eat one slice. .The best part they ship their food all over the world..it's going to be a great summer

    Calamari and toasted ravioli was mediocre nothing special about it but their BBQ Bacon and sausage and pepp DEEP DISH is perfect. Me and my friends were only in Chicago for 2 days and we ate Giordano's for dinner 2 nights in a row lol

  • Fishstick Y.

    This was my first Chicago deep dish experience. Just the 2 of us, so we got a small - no appetizers. The bartender who helped us was a solid guy and understood our order, which was not difficult. Chicago special, add sausage, no onions/pepers on one half and to that side replace with spinach and fresh garlic. The bartender even correctly relayed to the kictchen but when It came out with no onions/peppers in any of the pizza. There are a few bad reviewes about this place and maybe the kitchen staff has an issue....IDK? Food was good, but let's face it when you don't get what you want you are always a little disappointed...the mgr removed the pizza off the bill (without us asking) and I gave the bartender a $18 tip (almost 50%) cause I'm sure he felt bad. I had a couple beers and my gf a couple glasses of wine and we ordered one for my gf's friends, which they said was good. On the way out of town, we got a couple of frozen pizzas to bring home, and I really like that they offer that service. I'll eat at Giordano's again but maybe try a different location.

    THE WORST!!! I've tried multiple times to have group events here and I always have to go with my plan b. They are never willing to work with you to accommodate your party. They don't take reservations despite what the site says and they do not allow you to call ahead to order a pizza that takes 45 MINUTES to make.

    Yumo! Fantastic Chicago style pizza, exactly the way you want it. Atmosphere is authentic, service excellent and food rocks. This was a nice breath of fresh air from the nearby entertainment district, I felt like I was having a true Chicago experience. This place is not for those in a rush, pies take about 20 min, but SO worth every bite. This place is not easy on your waistline but it is easy on the soul.

    not sure if ive ever been to this location before but it was on the way to the airport so my friends and i decided to eat here before droppin her off. there were 3 of us & we ordered a stuffed half sausage & green peppers & onions pizza. they said it would take about 35 minutes and they were about right with the time. the pizza was delicious and very cheesy. i always love a pizza with a lot of sauce & cheese so this was spot on! our waitress was nice but not memorable. the place got really busy after 6 so we were glad we got in early. people were waitin to be seated after we left so this place gets busy even on a random thursday evenin.

    I purchased a large meat,meat, and more meat pizza for my family of four and it was the best pizza I've ever had. A large was more than enough food. It takes about 40 minutes for the pizza to come but they allow you to order while waiting for a table which is very helpful.

  • Joan P.

    My mouth was watering when the pizza came, and it definitely tasted good. However, the cheese was about an inch thick and the sauce was too sparse for my taste. I had a heavy feel in my stomach the rest of the day, which I am guessing was because of eating under-cooked dough, which is all-too-common with deep dish pizzas. We had the tiramisu for dessert, and it was just about the best I'd ever had.

  • Rocky B.

    My top 3 favorite pizza places are Lou malnatis, Gino's east, and Giovanni's. The thin crust at Giovanni's isn't so thin but they still have really good pizza. The s'mores pizza was ok. I wish there were burnt marshmallows but that's my preference.

  • John W.

    When I tell people about Chicago pizza, I tell them about Giordano's. Ask anyone from HERE what their favorite pizza is, and they'll definitely have an answer. Why Giordano's? Why not Lou's or Gino's? Lou's crust is too yeasty for my taste, Gino's toppings too heavy. Again my opinions of the food. Why Giordano's? Because of that deep dish stuffed crust pizza. That crust is why Giordano's and if you're a fan of pizza, once you have that crust...you will know. Their hand tossed regular crust pizza isn't bad either, but it's not why you go to Giordano's. I'm john wildes from Chicago, and I approve this message ;)

  • Kenny C.

    Their deep dish pizza is hands down the best pizza that I have ever had! Very fresh ingredients as well, just over all an amazing experience. The service was also good. We got a table in front of the kitchen, and there's a window that let's you see inside and it was pretty cool to see how they made all the pizzas. The only downside is that their pizza is so bomb that there's usually a long line/wait. But even then, it's completely worth it.

  • Jennifer G.

    We went here with about 155 people and they had been expecting 75. They were able to accommodate everyone and provided good service with very little staff. As a gluten free vegan, the menu options were very limited. They were able to make me a Greek salad without the feta, as well as a gluten free pasta with Mariana sauce and mixed veggies: broccoli, mushrooms, peppers and onions. Both were delicious

    Really enjoy this pizza! Visit Chicago annually and always make it a point to eat here. The stuffed pie never never ceases to amaze me! Definitely worth the wait. Was unable to make it out to the restaurant this time, but used the online ordering tool and had the pie sent to my hotel room. Worked like a charm! Might be shipping one out to Colorado here soon. :) Best, -Franklin

  • Geoff S.

    I knew I was going to Pequod the next day so I went here to get a reference point of "real" Chicago deep dish. I ordered the small Chicago style stuffed pizza. First off, staff is great; no complaints there. The pie arrived and while the sauce was not bad and the cheese was good; the crust was horrible. It was hard as a rock. Like hard tack biscuits. I didn't eat the crust at all. Sorry, will not be back.

    I was so excited for stuffed crust pizza and it was such a disappointment. There was hardly any cheese in it. The server had no personality and never saw her smile once. After bringing the pizza she proceeded to TOUCH the pieces as she placed them on plates. If I could give no stars I would.

  • Kaci F.

    This was my first experience with a Chicago deep dish pizza. The food was DELICOUS! The wait, and the attitude of the very annoyed looking staff bumped my stars down because the food itself was 5 star delicious. The serving sizes are off on the menu. My friend and I were going to share a medium pizza (our table ended up sharing 3 mediums between 6 people). We had a gluten free pizza (those are thin crust) and two deep dishes. One had meatballs + fresh garlic and the other had...some meat (pepperoni?) with pickled gardenia---which was my favorite, but a bit too spicy for a couple in our party.We had so much pizza left over! Seriously, each slice is like 2 pounds. A small CAN feed 3 normal sized people. I can't even begin to describe how yummy the pizza was and I'm not really a deep dish, sauce loving kind of girl. I'm not sure about the price because to my surprise someone in our party picked up the tab unexpectedly (thanks Kerry!). The dining room was perfect for a pizza joint, casual and fun. The bar serves beer by the pitcher, which was economical. So about the star reduction... my friend tried to call ahead to make a reservation, but we kept getting a busy signal, despite multiple attempts to call back-never got a person to answer the phone. The hostess had a very unfriendly look on her face and less than politely let us know there'd be at least a 45 minute wait. Pretty sure we waited more than an hour and had to advocate more than once to remember to seat our party. There isn't much of a waiting area/lobby for all of these unseated future patrons, so the waitresses are always having to split through people with piping hot pizzas looking less than thrilled that they have to navigate through people to who are hoping to be potential tippers. On several occasions one of my light weighted friends was bumped into and she takes great offense to being physically jostled by restaurant staff so she pointed it out to me each time, which is probably why I noticed and it heavily influenced my review. Once we were seated however, our server was perfectly kind and no complaints about anything once we were seated and began to get our grub on. So if you want to try deep dish Chicago pizza, they won't let you down. I'd just recommend going when either you have a reservation (if you can get someone to answer the phone) or going for a time other than 8 pm dinner on a Wednesday night.

    Best deep dish pizza in Chicago! Forget Lou's. Meatball with sausage and of course, spinach is a must! A large allows 3 people to have dinner and then lunch the next day.

    After being hyped up for Giordano's pizza on my work trip to Chicago, I finally had time on the last day to finally try this joint. Opinion? Extremely overrated. I don't get what the whole fuss is about. It tasted exactly like Domino's for me.

    Being from Chicago we take our pizza very seriously. I've had conflicts with favorites for years. For awhile it was perry's, then I wised up and it was malnati's, then ginos east (now a close second), but giordano's deep dish is currently #1. So good.

    I'm a pizza lover, I'm also from Ny so dilemma NY VS CHICAGO , OK let's say it like it is,Ny people call it pie, Chicago peeps call it pie, ny is thin crust pizza, with toppings Chicago is a pie filled with toppings and sauce.so I loved this pizza, sausage was great Italian, two slices and I was full.NY pizza I could eat two also.so in Ny they are the best, in Chicago they are the best, bartender was great , told him how to make a drink and bam perfect cocktail.service was great,I recommend coming here if you travel here.I'm coming back to try other foods they serve.

    This restaurant is very casual, so I was surprised to see a group of women holding a bridal shower here. They must have really loved the food. I visited with some coworkers. The food was decent. The salad was tasty. The pizza was thick and gigantic. Their website says, "Our stuffed pies are 40% bigger than our top competitors' deep-dish pizzas!" I am not from Chicago, so I was happy to have had this experience. The desserts and sangria were OK.

    When i called in they said they were out of pepperoni and i said thats fine can i get salami instead - their reply was ok no problem we have that in So pizza arrives 2 hours later and no salami. I check my receipt and salami is written on the order then crossed off What a ripoff

    I've been to the iconic deep dish pizza places like Gino's etc., which was great, but Giordanos was an experience all it's own. Deep dish was spectacular, service was great and even when it's crowded, they allow you to preorder while you wait! I wish I was able to give this place more than just 5 stars!

  • Sharon L.

    After an underwhelming experience at Lou Malnati's, Giordano's saved the day...er, weekend trip to Chicago! We got the Chicago Classic (pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers, and onions) and it was the best deep dish I've ever had. All the ingredients were layered perfectly along with the 2cm thick layer of cheese. Tomatoes were juicy, but not runny. The crust was heavy, thick and buttery. Words cannot explain how amazing it was. A medium pie will be approximately $27, serve 6 (although it says it'll serve 3-4), and weigh about 5-6 pounds. Whoa baby. Tip: Always, always, always call ahead. Each pie takes 45min-1 hour to bake! Tip #2: Make sure to take one home with you!! It's TSA friendly (except when 5+ members threaten to confiscate it from you)!

  • Marcus C.

    I was there last week during a convention, and I recommended my colleagues get Giordano's Pizza because I felt it was the best in the world, not just Chicago. I used to live in Chicago, so I love my pizza. I've had the pizza before, but this time made me feel right at home. The pizza had excellent flavor, and the crust was done right. I loved the fact that my entire group was seated in the patio. The wait time lasted more than an hour because of the event, so there were really no complaints about it from me. The pizza made it worth the wait. My entire group loved the pizza, and would go back if we return to Chicago!

    This was mine and my fiancés first time in Chicago and first Chicago authentic deep dish pizza experience! It was fun and exciting to try Chicago pizza, as pizza is a favorite of ours. It was good but nothing out of this world. It was incredibly heavy; so much crust but that is what we signed up for! My favorite part of the pizza was their cheese; I could tell it was of very good quality. Thank god we read how many are served by a stuffed deep dish. A small was plenty for 2 people. We actually went 2 days in a row, shhh! The first time we got the fresh garlic on top, I LOVE garlic but it was way too much, it overpowered the rest of the pizza. Overall the pizza was pretty good but I think the fun experience helped it taste even better!

    We were staying at the Crowne Plaza, and ordered delivery on a Thursday night. I was apprehensive based on some of the other reviews of delivery here, but we got a hot, delicious pizza without a hitch. When I called, I was told it would take 1 hour and ten minutes (perfectly reasonable). The delivery guy showed up on time and came up to my room. Pizza also came with plates and utensils. The pizza wasn't cheap, but it was well worth it. If you're looking for great deep-dish pizza, Giordano's won't disappoint.

    Pizza so big and deep lol took me lunch and dinner to finish it. Overall it was great I got with all the vegetables, only complaint was that it was light on the sauce so it tasted dry. Pie was 32$ altogether which is a pretty penny for a pie. Fast delivery

    Haven't been to this location but it is jut as good as all of the other ones. A buddy and I split a large thin crust, (neither of us are fans of Deep Dish), half mushroom half green peppers pizza. I chose to go here for a few reasons- #1: It's a good middle point for us. #2: We both love their pizza and hadn't had it for a while. #3: It's a much better alternative to the less than sub par RAM that is right across the street from it. Can't wait to go back.

    I think it is the best stuffed pizza in Chicago (still have not had Uno). Fresh ingredients and plenty of toppings/fillings. One of the things I really liked was ordering on the web, much easier than calling, being put on hold and then getting the order messed up. Definitely recommend ordering ahead, even if you are eating in, as the place gets really backed up.

    The deep dish pizza is absolutely delicious! We eat here often for lunch as we work just down the street. However today my wife and our 2 adult daughters met there for a Sunday lunch and watch the Bears get destroyed by New England. We ordered a large Deep Dish Special, Parmesan Fries, a house salad, and drinks. The salad and fries were awesome! My wife's drink was very potent (plenty of alcohol). She passed it off to my daughter. The pizza came and it was great as usual. We even had a few slices left over to bring home to our 15 year old son. They have a great outdoor patio that you can enjoy weather permitting. I highly recommend this Giordano's because of the consistent good quality food and excellent service.

    Great food. The calamari was sooo good, the cheesy bread was delicious, Parmesan fries was good...but wait there's more...lol the PIZZAAAA lol. The pizza was good & extremely fulfilling. After the appetizer, I couldn't even eat a whole slice of the stuffed pizza. The flat bread pizza was good as well. The waitress was very nice. My only complaint was the cannoli :-/ it was awful..absolutely no flavor. I'm from New York, I know a good cannoli when I taste it. However, you want great food this is the place. :)

    Zero Stars for customer service and delivery. We called to order a $100+ delivery order and we were told that they could delivery two blocks away though not to the house address less than 3 miles away from their location. They agreed to deliver two blocks away at a church and we paid with a credit card in advance. Less than 10 minutes later they called back saying they were canceling the order. We have always been huge fans of Giordano's ordering substantial orders for our team and customers. Sadly, not any longer.

    Being from the East Coast, you can rarely find a decent stuffed crust pizza, so while out in Chicago what better place is there to try this delicacy. I was tipped that Giordano's was the place to go and luckily there was one not a mile away from my hotel. I decided to go for the stuffed crust supreme which had mushrooms, peppers, onions, and sausage. I was mightily impressed with the pie....beware though...it weighs a ton! The pizza had good flavor and the crust was nice and crispy. I guess it's true what they say - Chicago pizza requires a fork and knife!

  • Rich T.

    You're near an airport and convention centers. Thousands of people. This place moves more pizza and beers than most towns and does it well. Giordano's while a chain you know exactly what you want and what it is going to taste like before you walk in the door. Don't drool. It tastes just like that. Mm hmm.

  • Janice A.

    I've heard from more than a few people that "Chicago pizza isn't actually deep dish" or some related nonsense. In my world, the stuffed pizza from Giordano's is Chicago pizza. I was lucky enough to live near their Downer's Grove location and its ruined all other pizza for me. I was actually happy to get stuck at O'Hare for a night when I saw this location within delivery distance of the hotel. My favorite is the classic with peppers and such, but we stuck with simple pepperoni because my husband is kinda lame. Doesn't matter, the sauce is thick with a pleasurable amount of tang, the cheese is thick with the right balance between gooey and creamy, the pepperoni, though not thick, were plentiful and had a spicy kick, and the two layers of crust were actually worth eating the edges of (together, they were quite thick). Thick. I think I've made my point. We ordered delivery and it arrived in almost exactly an hour. Not bad, considering due to the pizza's thickness, the thing takes a bit to cook up. Be patient. Your taste buds will be happy. Your tummy will be happy. Until your tummy hurts because you ate just one more slice and now there's a thick pizza food baby in your tummy. Screw your tummy, this pizza is worth the pain. I think I just figured out why I lost a few pounds when I moved away.

    When here today with a group of three other ladies from work. We ordered the Chicago special stuffed pizza and split it among the four of us. The food was delicious! We couldn't finish the large pizza among the four of us. The only complaint I have is the server was not very attentive. However, the restaurant was incredibly busy, there was not an empty seat in the place.

    Some don't like comparing but I have too.... I have to say hands down this was far better than Gino's East. Not only on the food but the overall experience. Customer service is big when dinning out. It makes for an overall experience. Now both were long waits but the customer service was by far better here than at Gino's. To be honest Gino's was terrible. Plus the food was better at Giordano's so really it was no comparison. I am not rating on their world famous deep dish but on their traditional pizza which was a 4 star. A very good pizza but nothing that was exceptional. Maybe my expectations were too high. But I would give a 5 star for their cobb salad. That is probably the best tasting and presented cobb salad I have ever had. First the presentation with all the colors and added ingredients such as peas, pasta, made it for a very tasteful salad. The mixture and portions of all the ingredients in the salad was perfect. The dressing is also very tasty. When I return I will definitely get the cobb salad again!!

    In Chicago for the first time in years and had to get some deep dish. Didn't feel like going out so had it delivered to our hotel nearby. It took about an hour but it was so worth it. Our pizza was hot and delicious, loaded with cheese, pepperoni, black olives and fresh garlic. A small fed 3 of us well, although we probably could have had another slice or two. Highly recommend.

    Had a great lunch here. Close to the airport and meetings at the hotels. Service was good and so was the food. I had the chicken parm sandwich and as Payton manning says "taste so good". I will return next time I am in town. They have real deep dish pizza. I will try it next time.

    Just ok. Atmosphere is divey chain. Deep dish pizza is ok. Thin crust pizza is bad. Harvest salad was very good. We are from boston so the pizza style is different. Our kids did not like the pizza.

    I am from the Cincinnati area, and always hear this is THE place to go for a true Chicago deep dish pizza, yet, my family and I were all really disappointed. We ordered a Caesar Salad and it was really tasty, although the croutons were very stale. Our pizza was alright, kind of an under-seasoned deep dish you could get anywhere with a hard crust. Overall, I would pass this chain up and head to another local pizza place, especially for the $20 price tag.

    We pre-ordered a large spinach stuffed pizza ahead of time. I noticed that you could get a free appetizer if you sign up for their e-letter through yelp and I took the time to do so. When we went in, the waitress was going out of her way to inconvenience us, as if we wanted to steal food! She went back and forth trying to verify if this was even allowed and which appetizers we could or could not have, even after showing her that i received the confirmation. On top of it all, we all asked for waters, but she only bought out waters for some and not all. We asked for sides which she got all wrong and she didn't even try to apologize. I didn't get her name but she was extremely rude and kept a smile on her face as if she was doing it all on purpose. We still tipped her well because we are not the kind of people to cut a person short but she did ruin our group experience. The pizza was a little cold even when it came out. The giordanos in Willowbrook is much better. I will never come back to this location again.

    Good pizza but felt a little too much like a chain for my taste. Also, as others have mentioned, you can get a personal pizza if you are eating alone - although it is called a "baby pizza" to shame you into buying a bigger size!

    Best deep dish in all of Chicago. Order the classic. The crust is my favorite. Crunchy on the outside and softer on the inside. They do not skimp on the toppings which is great. Service was good. TVs to watch the Bears game was a nice touch!! Will definitely return

    The first location I went to was downtown on Rush and that's where we like to take friends and family when they visit simply because it's a touristy atmosphere. This location is closer to our house and just as good. I've tried Gino's and Lou's but this deep dish pizza is my favorite of the three. Come hungry, but don't spoil it by filling yourself on a giant appetizer. We normally share the bruschetta (you have to pay to add mozarella, totally worth it). When the pizza finally arrives 45 minutes later it's like Christmas morning. Hot, cheesy, comfort food heaven. Most places have the typical crushed red pepper and Parmesan shakers on the table, but they have one with dried oregano too which rocks. Its always easy to find a parking spot here, and I've never had to wait more than five minutes for a table. I keep meaning to try their thin crust, but the stuffed pizza really can't be beat.

    I had the Fresh Spinach stuffed pie. It was deeelicious. I had 2 slices for Lunch, 2 slices during my flight and 2 slice when I arrived in LA. I sat at the bar, the bartender was very helpful, he reccomended a beer call Bells OBERON. I was a Wheat Ale slightly hopped and chilled to perfection, and the glass was frosty. I will def be back next time i'm in Chi Town.

    Arrived to Giordanos on a Saturday night, and the place is VERY popular. Put our names on the wait list. The wait was roughly 40 mins to get a table. The hostess gave us a menu to look at while we waited and took our "pre-order". Because of that we saved 20 mins because they started our order before we were seated. Once we were seated, our order showed up in 10 mins. The pizzas are truly amazing!

    While in Chicago for a wedding, we had Giordano's delivered to our hotel. He were told that it would take an hour and a half because there was a convention in town. We hoped it would be worth the wait and that it would live up to its hype. It wasn't. Of course, with delivery it is not fresh out of the oven. However, I don't think there is much that could've redeemed it. My husbands comment was "this is one notch above disgusting" and I personally would've enjoyed a frozen pizza far more. It's salty, dry and filled with unnecessary spices. They must cater to people who do not know good pizza or good Italian food. Don't waste your money or time. Spend your money on a frozen pizza and enjoy it more.

    We were a large group of 30 people and they accommodated us so well! We called ahead of time to make reservations and there was no long wait, they satus down in the patio area with 2 split long tables. The service was great and the food came on time despite it being around midnight already !

    We needed a place near the Hyatt to grab a quick dinner and this place fit the bill. I was disappointed that we couldn't get a deep dish since they take 35-40 minutes (but hey, you're going to want to wait). We went with cheesy garlic bread which is a must have if you have 4 or more in your group, you can definitely share. The small side salad is also surprisingly good and can be split between two people. We ordered a thin crust pizza with sausage and onion and boy was it delicious, definitely better than regular thin crust from anywhere else. The crust was perfect and the cheese was just right. Our server was a bit flighty and didn't know what half of the pizza was which but we figured it out and everyone was happy and full for under $50. They also have frozen deep dish pizzas to go so next time I'll be snagging a few to stock up.

    I went here in the freezing Chicago weather just to try the pizza! I thought it was very delicious. The atmosphere was pretty good although they were doing construction on the location I visited. They had a pretty good beer selection available with the construction going on. We had an amazing deep dish pizza. It only took me one slice to get full. I would come here again anytime I am in Chicago but I would like to try the downtown location.

    If you have enjoyed pizza at one Giordano's, than you have enjoyed one at them all. This location was no exception. - We had an amazing pizza. They paid particularly good attention to us but did not some seem especially friendly. The dining room is packed with tables. When it is full, it is very difficult to walk to the door or to the restroom. Other than these two minor things, it was a great meal with my co-workers! I would go there again with them any day!

    My official first cheat meal of the season! Giordano's, you seriously have my foodie heart in your hands. :-) I've always been a Chicago deep-dish style pizza girl so Giordano's famous stuffed pizzas was a definite spot for me to bookmark and try out since we were staying in Rosemont for the NPC Jr. Nationals Bodybuilding and Fitness show that I competed at. The restaurant itself is a decent cozy, family-sized place. There was a small line of people when we showed up around 10:45pm. We put our name down to get seated and the cool thing about their ordering system here is that you can order your pizza ahead of time, that way by the time you sit down your pizza order will come out in knick of time (deep-dish pizzas here take 35 minutes or so to bake). We were seated extremely fast, only waited about 10 minutes. My pizza order was a small stuffed cheese, sausage, mushroom and spinach deep dish pizza. And a small can seriously feed about 2-4 people! Especially when you're leaning out for a show, my small order could have fed about 5-6 bikini girls! I originally wanted either the garlic bread or the fried calamari as my appetizer but there were many reasons why I opted for the caprese salad. 1. My trainer/coach told me to stay away from sodium and carbs (yes, he's pretty strict and obviously I didn't listen too well since I wanted to eat here where it's sodium and carb central!) 2. I didn't want to get full off the garlic bread and I wanted to taste the actual crust of the pizza when it came out. 3. I have braces, so chewing calamari would have been difficult. With all that said, my caprese salad was A-OK, not the best, but the mozzarella was super fresh for sure. The balsamic vinegar could have been a bit sweeter in my opinion. PIZZA review time! My thoughts: 1. The crust was seriously the best crust on ANY pizza I've ever eaten. How the heck do they make their deep dish crust so airy, fluffy, right-bit-of crunch and flavorful? OMG! The crust alone is to die for. 2. Extremely cheesy to the max! But that's what stuffed pizza is all about. I can't complain about that dairy-filled goodness. 3. Sausage was nicely seasoned and cooked perfectly. 4. There could have been more mushrooms and spinach added (I'm a veggie freak), but there was enough to complement everything else. 5. I ate 2 slices at the restaurant. Ended up heating up another slice about an hour later at our hotel and then I hit BLOAT CENTRAL in my belly. My abs were no longer visible after that last slice. 6. Unfortunately I couldn't fit the remaining slices of pizza in our fridge so I had to throw out the box the next morning, what a waste. :( 7. I'm thinking I'll be buying some frozen ones online and having them shipped to me if I'm ever craving delicious, authentic, deep-dish pizza again. DESSERT! Yes, I had room for it cuz there's always effing room in a foodie's belly for ANY sweets. 1. I originally wanted cheesecake, but since we were gonna hit up Eli's Cheesecake World the next day, I opted for the cannoli. 2. There's no option of what type of cannoli, they just brought out this cute, yummy-looking pistachio cannoli. 3. We were afraid that I was going to have trouble biting into the shell of the cannoli, but nope...it had a light crunch to it and tasted delicious! 4. The mascarpone filling was HEAVENLY! And dipped on the sides with crushed pistachios...OMFG, jizzylicious in my panties that night for sure! 5. I don't think I'll ever have a better cannoli anywhere else unless we're visiting Italy in the near future. Giordano's, I effing miss you and if I'm ever in the Chi-town area again, I'm gonna stuff this face into your stuffed pizzas and cannolis once more!

    Do I really need to elaborate on how good this pizza was? I would have given it 5 stars, but the wait staff was very slow and the table next to me was very obnoxious! Dang, I have heard of guys night out, but this was ridiculous and it seemed as though other patrons felt the same as I have due to the "looks" they kept getting. Instead of asking them nicely to take it down a notch, their server just joined right in with them!!! Shame on her. Now I can say that the Giordano's near Michigan Ave and the Mile is fantastic! This one was a bit loud for me.

    Crowded noisey and wonderful. The atmosphere on a Friday night was everything you could expect. We tried the toasted ravioli and it was alright. They were rather chewy and bland. The pizza - that is what made this place awesome. We had to wait 40 min for the pizzas but when they came to the table the were mouth watering. We went simple for our sons with the thin crust pepperoni and cheese. It was good however the stuffed pizza is what we ordered. We got the Chicago special and it was so good. It was served w/ sauce on the top and so much cheese and fillings that it oozed. I would for sure come back!!!

    I guess I just don't get the whole stuffed pizza thing. When you take away the big wall of cardboardy crust around the edge, and the thin cardboardy bottom, all you have is a pile of plain mozzerella. We got pepperoni since neither of us are big fans of sausage or spinach, but since the pepperoni is buried under the cheese, it doesn't get crisp, it's just under there. The sauce is nothing special. My local Pizza Hut makes a more flavorful, luscious pizza with better crust, nice and bready, not hard and flavorless. The parmesan fries were the only really good thing. The chopped salad was mediocre; iceberg lettuce and not enough dressing (or maybe just not very flavorful dressing.) The service was good. I took a friend visiting from California to get the Chicago pizza experience. Neither of us was impressed.

  • Travis A.

    Dang, this pizza is SO good! It's that deep-stuffed style of pizza that Chicago is famous for. This location is close to O'Hare, so we tried it out when traveling out there. It was really by mistake that we came here--we just wanted to eat pizza in a sit-down restaurant. But, wow, I'm glad we stopped by! I will absolutely make a point to stop by one of the Giordano's locations anytime I'm back in Chicago!

    Had dinner at this suburban Giordano's last night and it was wonderful. So glad we were here and not in downtown Chicago where the line was out the door. All of my Chicago native friends were jealous of the picture I posted of their famous Stuffed Pizza! It was fabulous food, fabulous service and a great time.

    My LA pal, Randy B., has it right. This is the place for really terrific Chicago-style deep dish pizza. Right by O'Hare airport, close to airport hotels, is Giordano's. This place could easily be your go-to departure/arrival Chicago fix. But hey, what do I know about Chicago pizza? I'm from the pizza wasteland otherwise known as the City of Angels. So how about the following non-city-centric review? Great crust, tasty red sauce, and enough cheese to make your cardiologist have a heart attack, Giordano's pizza is a winner, like the Cubs. Oops, scratch that. Like those LA Kings!!! Try spinach and sausage or your own creation. Either way it's going to be 35 minutes of culinary anticipation that gets fulfilled with the wonderful delivery of a signature Chi-town icon. Goodness on a plate. Cold beer optional. You can get nit-pick'ey and say Lou's or Gino's or somewhere else is better, but this is just solid, memorable, local fare in a casual, often busy, setting. Giordano's is Chicago's bragging-rights restaurant version of my LA's In n Out Burger. Unique, gotta-have-it provincial food. Just don't try getting your pizza animal style. Like totally knarly, dude.

    This was my first time eating Chicago style pizza. It was good, I'm not a fan of the crust though. I would rather have New York style any day. As the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. I ordered a medium for 3 of us, could have gotten away with a small though. A little pricy for a pizza and salads, but you get so much food.

    Best pizza ever! Our favorite pizza restaurant. We just moved to LA and really miss Chicago after living there for 16 years because of Giordanos. We only like this location. They get super busy on weekends but worth the wait. I love their lunch specials.

  • Lucy W.

    A small stuffed pizza is more than enough to feed 2 people, with a couple slices leftover. I'm usually more of a thin crust girl, but who doesn't like a ton of cheese. The pizza does take about 30 minutes to cook, so the best thing to do is to get an appetizer or salad to start with...we got salad. A small salad was enough for the 2 of us to share. This place by O'Hare was very busy, with waits around an hour, on a random Wednesday night. Good Chicago pizza experience.

  • Justin C.

    I had Gino's the night before so I thought I would try the other big name. I understand it was a Saturday night but the hostess told us we could pre order a pizza and it would be out quicker than just waiting to order so we did that. About 20 minutes later we got a table and 35 minutes after that we got out pizza. Our waitress was really rude. Every time someone asked her for something she would roll her eyes and she pretty much slung out cheese bread on the table. We order the BBQ Chicken pizza and it was terrible. I just think that it is just an awful place.

    (1)
  • Kelly S.

    Yeah Baby, this stuff was good! We did not order a stuffed pizza as we are not that big a fan of cheese. Instead we ordered a BBQ Chicken Artisan pizza which rates very high on taste, the BBQ flavor was the best I have ever had. The service was excellent from the moment we came in the door until we left. It was the little touches that made the service go over the top. The hostess' were all so kind even though it was very busy. We were first timers from Michigan. My brother was acting like he was going to pass out from hunger so the hostess ordered the thin crust pizza in advance even though they don't like to do that because it might arrive before we are seated but my brother calmed down a bit knowing his food was ordered - mercy - men can get antsy when they are hungry. Afterward my brother asked the young girl behind the counter where they made the pizza where he might find a Target, or Wal-Mart and she cheerfully gave him directions. Gotta love the family :) The house Chianti was smooth, served in a nice glass with a generous portion. Our garden salad was plentiful and fresh. The prices were very reasonable for what you received. I can't wait to return.

    Once again the food here was amazing I really enjoyed the pizza I got a personal pizza this time the crust was a little bit Bready tasting notes much pizza crust tasting but I'm used to I think the one has better crust that's located downtown Chicago but this will still very good very cheesy and the vegetables on the inside were crunchy and trash overall great experience once again

    By far the best pizza I've had! You can split a large pizza with 2 people and eat twice everything is fresh! The wings were even above average. The mozzarella sticks are very good the staff was very friendly. If you're in Chicago period be sure to stop at 1 of the locations you won't be disappointed!

  • Tamara M.

    Let me begin by saying I am a New York pizza snob. Since I am visiting Chicago, I was told I must try the famous, deep-dish variety. I must say this variety is not my preference, but I am glad I tried it. We opted for a medium, stuffed with jalapenos, Canadian bacon and fresh garlic. For me, the best part was the sauce. It had lots of basil flavor, though there could have been more sauce on the pizza for me. There was tons of cheese, and it seemed to be decent quality, if mega-loads of cheese are your thing. There were a good amount of Canadian bacon and jalapenos, and the fresh garlic flavor really came through. We had ordered delivery, and the order arrived at our hotel about an hour after we ordered, which we had been prepared for when we placed the order. I do think the price is a bit much, at $30 for our one medium, although I was only able to eat one piece, so I guess it will be good for a number of meals/snacks!

  • Jessica M.

    It was an evening composed of driving to and fro the O'hare airport so we figured it'd be wise to choose a restaurant nearby. Giordano's is definitely a satisfying choice because of its famous stuffed pizza. It's a symbolic symbol of Chicago-style pizza and would definitely leave our foreign friends awestruck. And it most certainly didn't disappoint my friends and me. We arrived around 7pm on a weekday and were immediately welcomed by a wait staff and given a table for six. We started off with some garlic bread and then proceeded to ordering a 14 inch cheese pizza with sausage and mushroom. The pizza was so rich in ingredients that the meat was literally spilling when the pizza was sliced. One piece per person was more than enough because of its sizable portion. Service was great and quick. I'm glad we were able to squeeze in a dinner for our agenda and not miss our friend's flight.

    Came to eat here for lunch while visiting my company's corporate office in Rosemont. Looks and feels like a mom and pops pizza place. Tried the lunch deep dish pizza and just taking a glace at the personal size, it seemed small... But after eating the whole thing... it was just enough... Sometimes my eyes is bigger than my stomach... and sometimes it's the other way around... Pizza was think, dense, flavorful, lots of cheese (but half of the cheese wasn't melted as they either didn't bake it enough or if that's just the Chicago style...) It's actually good in it's own way but my preference will always be NY.

    Fair to middling. I've had better Chicago deep dish, but this hit the spot after a very long day. Not a lot of meat and we got one of the meat choice pizzas on the menu. The salad with fennel was pretty darn good. There were 7 in our group - 2 from Chicago. They thought the variation on Italian Beef was good.

    This giordano's location is becoming a tradition stop after we hit up the star Trek convention every year. The service here is ok and the pizza is ok also. Never found there pizza to be anything special but it is still good. Personally prefer the thin crust here to there deep dish. Lots of better deep dish pizza in Chicago (gergio's, UNo and Gino's to name a few). If in the area for a convention and don't want to travel far the food here is good and the location is great. Wouldn't travel just to go here however.

    From out of town and read the reviews! This is the best deep dish pizza I have had! Little bit if a wait to get in, service was excellent. Tried Classic and Meat pizza, out if this world. When I'm back in town planning on bring my family here.

  • Suzan K.

    Pizza was good but bad service causing me to not return. First, I joined the eclub and received a coupon for free appetizer. Our waitress told us that we can pick anything up to $8. But when we got the bill, only $6.95 was taken off the bill and when I asked about it, the manager told me that the waitress was incorrect and had told her to tell us. Waitress never told us which could be blamed on her but the manager could have easily came by the table to correct the mistake his waitress had informed us. And the interesting thing is that there weren't any appetizers in the menu less than $7.95. Next thing was we ordered a lunch special which was suppose to come with Parmesan garlic fries. The fries came out like 10 minutes before the entree and the fries were plain fries with a side of ranch sauce. How is that Parmesan garlic?? Next thing was when we got our appetizer, we had to ask our waitress for plates. Did she expect us to each just take a turn and eat from the big appetizer plate? And when we asked for plates, she brought us 4 when we had 6 people in our party. When I commented this to the manager, his response was that she was probably busy cuz the restaurant was full. Really? That's the excuse. Not coming here again when there are many other restaurant choices in the area.

    The gluten-free thin crust was good, and the usual off-taste without yeasty wheat was there. Almost everything else on the pizza could have been confused for cardboard. The overwhelming blah cheese, that must be super low fat, and not at all browned, masked the taste of everything else. And "Where's the sauce?", especially on a gluten free crust that needs more help to be great. Of the three toppings, chicken, mushrooms, and black olives, it seems they don't like to give hardly any mushrooms. There was plenty of moist chicken, which really didn't add any flavor to the party. And the black olives, the only thing above the mountain of tasteless rubbery goo, could have survived quite well in the oven to get some color on the cheese. This pizza could have been so much better with more sauce and real full fat cheese, but less of it. If you want or have to be gluten free, this may not be a tasty choice to try out.

  • Diane E.

    Our server was very attentive and friendly. The chopped salad was the best salad I have had in a long time! We got a deep dish sausage pizza (cuz it's Chicago!). It was good, but I guess I am a thin crust lover. (Which was on the menu, too!) I was happy with our choice to have dinner there and would eat there again.

    Not the best Giordano's I've been to, but still awesome. This location is right next to the airport, surrounded by hotels and tends to be busy. The service is fair, but the pizza is good. If you want Chicago, deep dish pizza, it's a home run.

    After arriving in Chicago-O'Hare from LAX, I wanted to try some Chicago Deep Dish Pizza while in town since I was going to a small town suburb of Chicago in Indiana. After we picked up our rental car, we looked for a Chicago Deep Dish place, and this one was the closest one from the airport, but I really wanted to go to Gino's East since I know they put a layer of sausage in the pizza but it was a couple of miles more, but we just ended up eating here since this popped up first. I was pretty excited for trying some Chicago Deep Dish Pizza, we ordered the Special with pepperoni added. When I tasted the pizza, it was pretty disappointing since the crust was more doughy, since I expected a more flaky buttery crust like what they have in Gino's East and in Lou Malnati's. I was already full after eating 2 full slices of the pizza, and the pizza here is actually stuffed which is what is different here than in the other Chicago Deep Dish places. If you want Chicago Deep Dish pizza don't go here, go to Gino's East or Lou Malnati's which is more authentic I believe and better even though I haven't tried it yet. If you are just going to stay within the O'Hare Airport area, and want to try Chicago Deep Dish, just go to Gino's East more further down. I even think that the Chicago Deep Dish I had in Los Angeles in Masa, and in Tony's Little Italy in Orange County was even better than here.

    We got into Chicago late on a Friday night and ordered from here since it was very close to our hotel. We ordered a medium pepperoni and a house salad. The salad was nothing special but the pizza was out of this world. A medium for 2 people was a lot since the slices are so big and filling.

    This is what Chicago style pizza is supposed to be like awesome pie crust, tons and tons of cheese and toppings, and great marinara sauce. I have no idea how anyone can eat more than 2 slices cause this pizza is filling! I also tried there wings here but they were pretty depressing so I would stick to there pizza only.

    TO DIE FOR! What do I want for my last meal? Yep, this could very easily be my request. "Pizza perfect" should be the name. Deep dish pizza definitely at its finest. HIGHLY recommended for your first time try of Chicago-style pizza, and perhaps each and every time! I get daily emails of thanks and appreciation from several people who took me up on my recommendation. Alright already!!! With a crust better than a buttered biscuit, each bite melts in your mouth, or better yet and my preference, my mouth. I also believe to experience it best, get no more than 2 or 3 toppings on it. You want to make sure not to dillute the amazing flavor of the sauce, the cheese, and that crust...and just keep it simple.

    Carried out a couple of thin crust pizzas and a chopped salad. Very good quality if a bit pricey. Entree size salad was very large and fresh. It could easily make four side salad servings. BBQ chicken was tangy and a nice change of pace.

    Wow! Amazing! I'm from California and the wannabe Chicago style pizza places out there do not even come close. I was at this location recently and had the meat and more meat stuffed pizza. It was by far one of the best pizzas I've ever had. Even though the crust was thick, it was still soft. Not sure if this is proper deep dish pizza vocab, but theirs I thought was flour based as where others are corn meal. Anyways, the toppings were delicious, the sauce was not overpowering and we had a cute waitress with a hot Chicago accent. I have been converted. Going to definetly order some to have shipped out west.

    I was stuck at an airport hotel in Chicago. Instead of going for the standard hotel burger, I opted for delivery deep dish pizza which Chicago is famous for. Now I'm a NY pizza girl all the way, but I decided to give it a new try with an open mind. The pizza weighed at least five pounds. I ordered a small stuffed cheese and sausage. This pizza could easily feed three adults. The ingredients were high quality. The cheese and sausage were flavorful. I just don't get the thick crust. It was flaky and buttery like a croissant, just too much of it for my tastes. I gave three starts not because the pizza wasn't great, but because deep dish pizza just isn't my cup of tea. Or should I say slice of pizza?

    Plenty of reviews for this place already, so I'll just keep it brief! Came here to meet an out of town friend as she was at the Convention Center and knew it was close and I was craving some pizza! You can't go wrong with the pizza choices, thin or deep dish! The place was jam packed as we were leaving obviously due to it's close proximity to the Convention Center and partially due it's reputation for great eats!

    Better then in the past. Deep dish is always good. Garlic broccoli is great flavor on deep, Pepperoni is a waste on small - sausage is better. Pepsi products (yeah!), but refills are often from a 'flat' pitcher. I prefer Lou Malnati's, but if you are meeting someone coming in from O'Hare Airport, it is far easier for them to get to, and closer to the airport entrance - giving you an extra 25 minutes to meet (considering both directions). Kid friendly (cuts both ways, but they have 2 sides of seating, so probably can escape). TV volume is right at the edge during the news time. Just in case you are not familiar with Deep Dish - it does take time to bake, not their fault, so appetizers might be worth it, but a small really did satiate the 2 men comfortably. Tables are optimized to seat as many as they can. So it can be a little cozy moving around, but they can get real busy. Hostess stand always seems like they are lost if they are not on a wait, but they get the job done. Just minutes (by car) away from Allstate Arena/Chicago Wolves games and tons of the local 'airport hotels' on River RD and Manheim.

    Meh is the best way to describe this tiny location. The seats are packed so tightly together that it's literally like a huge community table--which, hey! If you're into that sort of thing... The pizza is standard, and standard is okay when you are starving a we were. We ordered our pizza while we waited for a seat, which was certainly a nice service, as deep dish can take awhile. The kid who took the pizza order very clearly was too busy flirting with the girl next to him as he wasn't even listening long enough to get the name on our order correct. But, the hostess straightened it out for us; no harm no foul. But, I wish someone would have told us that they changed the calamari! It is no longer just straight calamari; now, it's got some mixture of weird breaded stuff... lemons and lemon peels, green beans and red peppers thrown in the mix? Ew. There was little to no calamari on the plate. When we asked the waiter what the deal was, he said they'd recently changed the menu. Lame! Change a recipe, don't change the whole dish to spice things up! AND, the bathrooms are horrible. At least the ladies one was not at all appealing.

    They must put crack in their pizza crust.. it's sooo good! I normally don't like deep dish pizza, but when I had a chance to check out Giordano's I couldn't pass it up. I planned for 3 days to make time for pizza and was determined to bring it back home for the fam to try. I ordered a large sausage and mushroom pizza and my friend ordered the same but also with pepperoni. I forget our server's name but he was nice.. although he was a little pushy with us ordering drinks even after we declined twice. The crust is so buttery and flaky but not crumbly. It was almost like pastry dough without the sweetness. It kinda reminded me of Popeye's biscuits.. not as buttery but the texture is similar. It's very dense. I would have like a little more sausage as it seemed like there were more mushrooms. The cheese was packed on and I liked the light layer of sauce on top. Was this the best pizza I've ever had? No... but it's just my personal preference towards deep dish that holds me back from giving it 5 stars. After a night of refrigeration and a 4+ hour plane ride with dry ice, the pizza was still delicious. The crust was not soggy at all which I think was because the sauce was on top. Awesome! I will be back in a couple weeks as the fam has already requested another pizza.

  • Brandon M.

    Went there with friends from LA while in Chicago, and it is fantastic. The crust is a mix between a pot pie crust and pizza crust (just heavenly). We ordered the pepperoni, mushroom, and sausage pizza - it was fantastic. Be prepared that you won't be able to eat more than 2 slices though (it's just too big).

  • Brook D.

    hands down the best deep dish pizza everywhere! as california natives, we were told to try this restaurant and it didn't disappoint! they were open late, very accommodating as we had just driven in from ohio. they were helpful, and we loved the pizza so much we want to open our own in our home town!

    Second Giordano's pizza in my weekend. This time it was delivery, a medium stuffed pizza with pepperoni, sausage, and mushrooms, and from a different location. It took a long time to be delivered, but that's obviously because of the cooking time. No problem there. It was as fast as it could be, aside from that. I would definitely order from here again. It arrived nice and hot and smelling delicious. We cut it up and from the first bite I knew I was one step closer to finding my perfect pizza. Not just a smattering, but a full-on layer of sausage followed by another full-on layer of pepperoni, this is the way pizza should be made! The mushrooms were sadly not as plentiful, but the delicious meat made me completely forget about that.

    Am not that big of a Pizza fan...but this one is DIFFERENT :) OMG ...so in love with this place!! If Chicago had one thing to offer ...am sure it would be the Deep Dish at Giordano's.. Delicious is an understatement when it comes to describing the pizza here.. to top it off ..who knew a pizza place could serve the PERFECT Chicken wings...the sauce just right...not too tangy, not too hot...just perfect. Will definitely stop by here everytime am in Chicago...Love the city...and absolutely love the Pizza here... Mind well...the lines can get pretty darn long...like our wait time was about 45 mins, good thing is --u can order your pizza while you wait...and they start baking it for you...the bake takes about 35 - 40 mins...so the once we had our table...the pizza was right there for us to savour!!

    On the edge of Chicago and Rosemont, Giordano's sits near the very popular corner of Higgins and River Road, right next to the McDonald's. We chose Giordano's for our post-funeral luncheon since it was closest to the cemetery. Our funeral group consisted of only about 10 people, so we did a simple reservation and ordered off the menu instead of going for some package deal like a luncheon might usually entail. Our funeral service ended about 45 minutes sooner than expected. We arrived very early, but no problem. Giordano's gave us a nook in the back, away from the rest of the crowd where we were pretty much all to ourselves. We got our drinks quickly and ordered an appetizer combo platter plus garlic bread. Awesome stuff. I loved the fried calamari especially. It was done right, not too chewy. I had a meatball sandwich, which was made best with the rich pasta sauce on top. My wife went for a chicken Oreganata dish, which was about 3 servings. Made for quite a lot of leftovers, but it was probably the best item on the menu. Kids loved the mostaccioli noodles, which was big enough to split between the two of them. In all, with (non-alcoholic) drinks and appetizers for 10 of us, the total was less than $200, tip included. Certainly a bargain for the quality, quantity and great service we received.

    I finally dined in during my visit at this location and it was pretty full on a Thursday around 3 in the afternoon. The waitress was nice, but not around often. We ordered a bottle of wine for our party of four and ordered a stuffed pie with half sausage and half pepperoni. I've had their pepperoni before in their pie and loved it, but I wanted to try something different and overall I think I like the sausage better! I think it could have had more of it, but it was still delicious. Piping hot and cheesy, this place has got it right! I'm just sad that I couldn't eat more than one slice.

    (5)
  • Trekkie M.

    The deep dish pepperoni pizza was gross. The crust was doughy the sauce was lacking something and the cheese was off putting. I may give this place another chance to try a non deep dish pizza but we will see. Still not a fan of the ingredients but if you stop in I hope you like it.

  • Marsha Z.

    I haven't had much experience with true Chicago stuffed and deep dishes. I've had Lou Malnati's last I was here a couple years ago, and didn't think it was very memorable...not bad, just nothing to boast about. And here at Giordano's, I'm left feeling the same way. It's so overwhelming, like I'm swimming in cheese. Other deep dish pizzas I've had are typically well-balanced in sauce, cheese, and crust; they all compliment each other, not overpowering one or the other. Two slices were enough, but I wouldn't doubt that one would've left me full on a half-empty stomach. And I have a big appetite, enough to where I could eat a medium thin crust in one sitting. The atmosphere is very group/family-oriented, booths, lots of seating--appropriate for their large servings. My server was great. I had a long day and he knew to keep the liquor coming before I even asked. My cell phone battery had unexpectedly drained, and he was gracious enough to call a cab for me.

    Always good for Chicago Style pizza. Yes, it's a chain but most of the Chicago Style places are. I've always been happy with the food and the service here. In case you don't know, Chicago Style pizza is a pan pizza with the toppings upside down from a regular pizza: Crust then cheese, then, toppings, then sauce on the top. Delicious! Giordano's isn't only pizza. They have a lot of other good Italian food too. There are better Italian places but if you want some pasta and meatballs you'll do fine here. TIP: Call ahead to order your Chicago Style pizza. They take about 40 minutes to make! Giordano's will take your order and your pizza will be at your table in a reasonable time after you sit down.

    Wow this pizza is amazing. I had the peperoni & sausage with mushrooms. The pizza is thick and full of flavor. It's so good I brought 2 frozen ones home on the plane and they were just as good. I plan of coming here every time I visit Chicago.

  • Mary N.

    I grew up in Chicago and Giordano's was always the place to go for good stuffed pizza if you weren't downtown. My favorite is still the Stuffed Spinach pizza but be prepared for a wait - the stuffed pizza's take at least 30 minutes to prepare. While you are waiting, try one of the many appetizers. We were there a couple of weeks ago for my dad's funeral and ordered the Family Appetizer platter which was plenty for our group of 10.

  • Kristin B.

    I ate at Giordano's two of the 4 nights I was in town, once on Thursday night with a group of 14, and returned Saturday evening with 3 friends. The deep dish was some of the best pizza I've ever eaten and JoAnn was an amazing waitress. Be prepared to wait for a table if you come after 6PM. The pizza takes about 45 minutes to cook so if you're starving have a salad or appetizers. Also, there's no bar, so if you're alone either carry-out, enjoy delivery, or be prepared to sit at a table by yourself. They sell frozen pizzas you can buy and fly home with. Frozen pizzas are good for 8 hours. Also, if staying at the Westin, you can easily walk to this location.

  • Bill D.

    WOW!! I've just had the tastiest Chicago Style Stuffed Crust Pizza ever! The Chicago Classic is my fave but Pepperoni is also very good! The sauce is just right and the cheese strings out of your mouth so much goodness. The lobby was packed and we were warned of an hour and a half wait. But we stuck it out because of the reputation. We hadn't waited more than 15-20 minutes when seated. We ordered salads to start with so we wouldn't spoil our appetites. The salads were fantastic, fresh greens, nice homemade dressings and a thick slice of buttery Feta on top that was to die for! But the Pizza was the piece de resistance. Crispy crust on the edge but inside was piping hot sauce and ton's of cheese with toppings in between. As a side note the also ship out of town and we ordered some the next week. They partially cook the pies and wrap them securely before freezing them and packing with dry ice for shipping. They don't even charge for shipping!!! Three day FedEx in styrofoam. They were just as tasty cooked at home! They include detailed directions on how to prepare them too...

    An excellent choice for my last day in Chicago before heading back east! After finishing up work at Anime Central, we decided to have one last meal together and I'm happy we chose Giordano's. Walking distance from our hotels and the convention center, standard service; nothing horrible or amazing to say. Fairly attentive at least, although I did have to help myself to some new utensils when one of us needed a replacement. The food was absolutely delicious and well worth the wait. We of course ordered a classic deep dish with some apps and one or two more entree's. If memory serves, the pizza took about 45 min to cook and if you have the time, I suggest waiting. Delicious, flaky crust, cheese that goes for miles and just the right amount of sauce. Coming from New England and being used to a big, floppy NY pizza I can fold in half and eat by hand, it was a treat to have the waitress serve our completely stuffed, cheesy slices to us from the pizza... tier... thing at the center of the table. There's definitely an art to it! Can't wait to go back!

    Came here on the first day of a business trip upon the hotel concierge's recommendation. God bless her! Girodano's is the perfect introduction to Chicago deep dish pizza. My friend and I ordered the pepperoni deep dish with garlic bread to start. The garlic bread was crunchy and perfect with the delish marinara sauce it comes with. The pizza takes a hot minute to make (around 40 minutes), but it is well worth the wait. So cheesy, crunchy and just absolutely perfect. Next time I'm in Chicago, I'll definitely come here (and then Gino's to compare). Wish they had places like these in Miami!

    I love the stuffed crust, especially the day after. Mmmmmm. We were at a concert and got out L A T E. When we walked in, we felt kind of bad for the people still there. Let me tell you, our waitress was great and so was the food. We werent rushed, even though we were rushing. It was 12:20 on a Friday night. Fresh jalapenos in our pizza, wonderful.

    Food - Co-workers and I eat here sometimes. Just ok. I prefer Gino's East food. Service - The bare minimum. Not rude or anything. Not friendly either. Just your normal "I'm a serving drone" service. UNO has waay better customer service. Friendly staff, too. Bus boys are always super friendly & efficient, though. Kudos to them. Hostess - May need some lessons on being more professional. You are the 1st person customers meet after all. Came in last night with 14 of my out-of-town relatives. They were excited to try the so called "Chicago deep dish pizza". Yes, it was my fault. I did not call for a reservation. I figured at 8PM Wednesday night, there would've been space for us. I was mistaken. The place was full. I have no gripes about that. The turn off was the hostess. I came in & politely asked if they could accomodate 14 people. She gave a sarcastic "Pfft! Um no." Wow! The professionalism! A simple "Sorry ma'am, we're all booked tonight," would've sufficed. Total turn off. We did not eat there. Also the last time I'll be a patron to this place.

    When people ask about Chicago Style pizza, I always tell them Giordanos is the place to go. When getting off the plane, it is always the first place I go to know I'm in Chicago. There is about a 30-35 minute wait for your pizza, but with good company..the time flies by. The sauce was really chunky, which is a huge plus and you don't have a huge sausage patty covering your pizza. If you ever have a visitor in town, take them here, to give them the pure Chicago treatment.

  • Viki P.

    Went here a couple days ago with a friend to grab a stuffed pizza. The waitress let us know of the estimated time for it to cook, which is always appreciated. She was attentive as well - it's good to have a waitress/waiter who comes by you regularly to check so if you need something, you're not waiting in vain. Delicious food, clean and upbeat place.

    (4)
  • Matthew L.

    I couldn't leave Chicago without grabbing a deep dish slice. One thing I think they do very well is the crust it is reminiscent of a pie crust. Not greasy or oily, but still flaky and firm. As with any deep dish pizza, this is stick to your ribs pizza. I tried the sausage and cheese. I think a slice is more than enough for me. Salad was just so so. If you are looking for a cheaper option, try the lunch special. A personal pizza, salad and soda for $8.

    Came to this location a few weeks ago. Was expecting a Long wait, but we were seated right away. Ordered an appetizer that came out very quickly as well as a stuffed pizza and a thin crust. It actually didn't take very long and it was delicious. This place is a must when visiting Chicago.

  • Ethan R.

    Being a Bay Area and only knowing deep crust pizza through Zacharys, I asked my Illinois friends for a real chicago pizza joint when I passed through this town. Everyone told me to go to Giordano's. The wait can be a long bit for a pizza to bake, but it is worth it. The sauce is rich and delicious, the toppings generous. Bring an appetite and satisfy it in a sitting if you can even finish it. The beer selection is a bit weak for a west coast beer snob like myself, but the waitress searched the back room and found the last Leinenkugel Honey Weiss they had that day. What a champ! Made the wait fantastic.

    Meant to leave this as a check-in tip. It takes 35 minutes to bake the deep dish so don't come too hungry and arrive with plenty of time to wait. 4 stars for the delicious Italian sandwich (marinara on the side) and cheesecake for dessert.

  • Parag R.

    I only go to this restaurant for their Chicago style pizza and the pizza is amazing. Very close to the airport so great for a first or last meal in Chicago. Pizza is heavy though (naturally), so scale back your usual pizza sizes because you will be carrying a box out. Usual veggie options for toppings (or stuffing in this case); nothing special there. Service is not excellent but prompt and efficient. Don't expect the friendliness of your local diner. I've been to other Giordano's restaurants which had better service and more welcoming atmosphere. However, if you are a devotee of the Chicago style pizza, then the rest of the review is kind of irrelevant isn't it?

  • David N.

    Would've pulled an easy 5, but the take out appetizer sampler sucked big time. It was cold by the time we got it back, and really just a huge fried mess. Obviously the pizza kicked ass (2 thin crusts, Veggie & and Meat Lovers more-less). It was pipin' hot and tasted fantasmic. Harmonious....

    WWWWOOOOOOWWWWWW Definitely one of the places I would come back again! I heard a lot about Chicagon's Best PIZZA and Finally had the chance to Try them out! Looked thru yelp and found this one near by my hotel and Probably will go to the Main one that Everyone TALKS about it. Went inside with a STARVING stomach at 6 PM, The place was half empty because I think i came early for dinner, Friendly staff, seated us at a booth table, and passed by their open kitchen with a BIG MOLDED SAMPLE DEEP DISH PIZZA PIE In front of me! (so that's a PLUS!). Handed us the menu, they had 2 options of pizza (MOST FAMOUS DEEP DISH and Think crush (NOT as Popular but still good), comes in 4 sizes (small, medium, large and Extra large, depending how many people are attending) and a list of italian appetizers, salads, entree, and dessert. Everything seems soo YUMMY but of course we had to order the FAMOUS PIZZA (That's what I was here for). So it was 4 of us, so we ordered the medium size (serves 3-4 people) and 3 entress. the FUNNY part is that on the ENTREE list, they have 2 PORTION sizes! (LIGHT dish and REGULAR dish) hahahahaha So as I WAS SAYING, 3 Entree and our waitress saw us, and recommended us to get the Light dish version. (Which was chicken alfredo, Veggie ravioli, and a regular spaguetti with meat Sauce) Since the Pizza would take about 30 minutes. Entree arrived, YUM YUM YUM. so ALL of us were 3/4 full already and the lady brought up this almost 2 inch deep dish pizza cut down into 8 pieces. First bite it was a bit crusty and loved the taste of CHEEESEEEE!!!, and CHUNKS of MEAT AND VEGGIES. It was AWESOME but I could only have one because I was too full, but definitely one of the best Deep Dish Pizza i've ever HAD!. Skipped Dessert (sigh...) but Definitely will come back just for Pizza, no other entrees (they were good too but I was Convinced how this Pizza was) Bill came out to 20 bucks per person (with a regular drink). NOT BAD AT ALL!

    Ahhh, good Chicago deep dish pizza without a two hour wait. There is nothing better. I've been to Uno's in downtown Chicago and this place blows them away! There was a little bit of a wait for a Saturday night, but they allow you to pre-order the pizza (what a smart idea) to make the wait a little more bearable. The pizza was delicious! The ingredients were fresh and it even tasted better the second day. The medium is PLENTY for two people for two nights. You've got to make it to Giordano's, whether it is here or one of their other locations. It's great deep dish at a good price.

    I ordered take out pizza while staying at a hotel near the airport. Pizza crust was a bit harder than I'm used to but the sauce and cheese was great. Mozzarella sticks were also tasty, marinara sauce was a bit on the salty side. Pricier than major pizza chains and not worth the premium.

    I feel bad for giving this place 2 stars since it's so popular, but 2 stars actually equals meh I've had better...and I have! Came here during an off time so there was no crazy wait. We ordered the bruschetta, stuffed mushrooms and spinach stuffed pizza. The bruschetta and mushrooms were good, not extraordinarily great, just good. The spinach stuffed pizza was aiight. Size impressed me cuz it was huge! Taste wise, not so much, wayyyyyy too much cheese. After a few bites the taste got kinda bland.... Lou Malnatis is better.. sorry. =/

    Tonight was my first eating Giordano's pizza. Yes, you read that correctly. I don't deny that I may live under a rock. It seems everybody likes to compare, contrast, and choose a favorite between Giordano's and Lou Malnati's. I have a tough time choosing. I do enjoy LM's crust a bit more. And I dig the sausage patty they got going on instead of the traditional crumbled style. But Giordano's pizza is cheesier and saucier. But oddly enough, the reason I probably choose Giordano's: The cheese garlic tomato bread. It was delicious and under $5. I almost didn't save any room in my belly for pizza. My experience at Giordano's was pretty pleasant, but unfortunately I think we got stuck with the worst waitress they have to offer. All the other waitresses appeared on the ball, but ours was just old and bad. I feel bad throwing her under the bus, because at times she didn't come off as a total witch. But for the most part, she just didn't seem very friendly. Not to mention the amount of time it took for her to remember to go swipe my credit card to pay for the meal. Service could have been better, but still a nice experience overall.

    Our annual visit to Chicago always ends with real Chicago pizza. The second year we asked the hotel staff where nearby THEY would get pizza. They told us here. Our search was over. Not only do I DREAM of this pizza for weeks before and after I eat it, everything else is delicious too! I have only ever got take out from here but the staff is always very friendly and upbeat. Next year our hotel may be even closer to this place so maybe we will dine in... or eat there more than once ::: fingers crossed ::::

    I think Giordano's has the idea of a 'stuffed crust' pizza down but their execution leaves much to be desired. They advertise a 'flaky, buttery crust' but my crust was floury, not buttery, although it was flaky. Secondly I'm afraid I got a pizza that was in the 'warm' section of the oven as opposed to a freshly prepared one even though I was sitting in the dining room. I thought the sausage was absent in taste as well. The pricing is reasonable for the individual size-around $7. The next large step up, however, is around $17, which I think is pretty steep for a 'small' pizza. I sure hope Chicago can do better.

    I'm a pizza lover and I've tried different types of pizza all over the United States. So far Giordano's is my favorite. I ordered the personal-sized pepperoni pizza, which is one of the lunch specials. The waitress kindly advised me it would be 30 minutes before the pizza was ready, since I had arrived toward the end of lunch time and they had to bake a fresh one. Normally it is less than a 15 minute wait for these, but I was willing to hang around. Well, it was definitely worth the wait! The crust was buttery and flaky. The pizza was packed full of cheese and pepperoni. I highly recommend going here if you are in Chicago!

  • Josh S.

    We were in town over the weekend and we just had to have some deep dish pizza. We ordered some calamari to start things off while our peperoni deep dish cooked. The calamari was surprisingly good, tasted fresh and was not rubbery at all. I don't know if the time just flew by, or if the pizza was ready sooner than the 35 minutes our waitress told us, but it was ready before I was expecting it which was a good thing The pizza looked great and I couldn't wait to dig in. I took the first bite and I was expecting more, so i took a second and waited. Yea, nothing was happening. It was good, but I have met very few pizzas that I didn't like. The worst part was when I got down to the crust. I took one bite and I had to follow the lead of my son and leave the crust be. It was flaky, almost like it would be more at home on a chicken pot pie instead of a pizza. I guess I was just not impressed with Giordano's version of the Chicago Deep Dish pizza. The service was pretty good, not the best but it was Friday night and the place was pretty busy so I can't hold that against her too much. At the end of the day I would not refuse to eat here again, but next time we are in town I would like to try somewhere else.

    Great service. Greater pizza. Greatest load of cheese! You can't beat it. I like their crust better than most "Chicago Deep Dish" crusts. Note...the deep dish really does take about 45 min to cook so if you're pressed for time, just call ahead and place an order for dine-in. Minus one star for a flat Guiness and beer mugs that were so cold that the beer started to turn into slush!

    This was my last pizza experience in Chicago, only ended up here because Paradise Pup was closed! I am so happy to go to Giordanos because out of Unos, Lu Malnatos, and this place, Giordanos wins! They have the BEST flaky crust and we asked for extra sauce. It was perfection!

    I'm not about to let my preference for New York style pizza ruin this review. Just putting it out there: I love a good NY style pizza, and I definitely think it's better than Chicago-style. With that out of the way...the stuff served here is still really delicious. My favorite part is the crust, which has a rich slightly burnt flavor. The toppings are...a little much, but that's the whole point. The best element to these pizzas is how filling they are, and how much value you get out of them. You definitely get your dollar's worth for a pie here.

    When I do have Chicago style pizza (e.g visitors in town), I usually go with Lou's. Well on this visit, I decided maybe we would try another place besides Lou's. We decided at this location as it's very close to the airport. Although the location is good for visitors, the restaurant is quite small and dated. At 8 pm on a Friday night, the wait for 30 minutes. Of course we got the deep dish. We ordered the supreme, which came with sausage, green peppers, and onions. I haven't had Giordano's in a long time so I was pleasantly surprised on how good the pizza was. There was a good amount of all the ingredients and not a complete sausage patty covering the entire pizza. I really don't like a huge, thick sausage patty that some other places have that cover the entire pizza. The cheese was gooey and a ton of sauce on top. The crust was flaky and not too heavy. All in all, the next time a visitor is in town, it will be a tough choice on where to go.

    The fact that you people call this pizza is beyond me...I have heard for years and years and years about Chicago pizza well I call it garbage. I am from NY/NJ and what I just ate I would not feed to my mother in law. Cheese that sticks all together as one piece and comes off the pizza as you bite into it. Crust that tastes like a Pillsbury croissant that was overcooked. Small. Overpriced. $4 dollar delivery fee? Are you people out of your damn minds? This is absurd. I just spent 15 bucks on a small thin crust pizza...not only was it overpriced, charged big time for delivery but the pizza was horrible. You can get better Pizza at Pizza Hut, Papa Johns or Dominos. You should be absolutely ashamed of yourselves for serving this sad excuse for pizza to your customers. What a farse...I was just pistol whipped, beaten down, kicked in the face and kidneys and robbed at gunpoint... That is how I feel after paying for and eating that disgusting excuse for pizza. Good day.

    The first Chicago style pizza I ever tried was Giordano's, then I became a Gino's East guy for a while. I came back here this past weekend because it was close to a convention I was at. They won me over again. We got stuffed cheese pizza with mushrooms, jalepeno peppers and green peppers. It was amazing again. If you haven't had a pizza from here, then shame on you. You have to try it.

  • Tony S.

    Wow, I;ve been eating this pizza since the 70's but I hadn't had it in a couple of years, and man the quality has really gone down! plenty of cheese no problem there, not enough meat, sauce is way to garlicky and salty and the Crust which used to be very crunchy and light is now heavy and sticky. only saving grace they still make a great salad.

    Ordered delivery while staying at a local hotel while traveling for the Holidays. Quality: This was my first time having a Chicago style stuffed pizza, so I'm not an expert, but oh my gosh was this good! Everything from the cheese, to the meat, to the crust rocked! Staff: Helpful on the phone, quick to deliver, nice and the door. Cost: A little on the pricey side for pizza, but honestly it was totally worth it! (Note: The don't deliver 2 liters of pop, only cans, which is kinda annoying)

    Awesome deep dish pizza! We got there about 30 minutes before closing time and were enthusiastically welcomed. Took close to another 30 minutes for the pizza to be baked and we were assured we could take our time to finish it.

    Food - Co-workers and I eat here sometimes. Just ok. I prefer Gino's East food. Service - The bare minimum. Not rude or anything. Not friendly either. Just your normal "I'm a serving drone" service. UNO has waay better customer service. Friendly staff, too. Bus boys are always super friendly & efficient, though. Kudos to them. Hostess - May need some lessons on being more professional. You are the 1st person customers meet after all. Came in last night with 14 of my out-of-town relatives. They were excited to try the so called "Chicago deep dish pizza". Yes, it was my fault. I did not call for a reservation. I figured at 8PM Wednesday night, there would've been space for us. I was mistaken. The place was full. I have no gripes about that. The turn off was the hostess. I came in & politely asked if they could accomodate 14 people. She gave a sarcastic "Pfft! Um no." Wow! The professionalism! A simple "Sorry ma'am, we're all booked tonight," would've sufficed. Total turn off. We did not eat there. Also the last time I'll be a patron to this place.

    When people ask about Chicago Style pizza, I always tell them Giordanos is the place to go. When getting off the plane, it is always the first place I go to know I'm in Chicago. There is about a 30-35 minute wait for your pizza, but with good company..the time flies by. The sauce was really chunky, which is a huge plus and you don't have a huge sausage patty covering your pizza. If you ever have a visitor in town, take them here, to give them the pure Chicago treatment.

    Went here a couple days ago with a friend to grab a stuffed pizza. The waitress let us know of the estimated time for it to cook, which is always appreciated. She was attentive as well - it's good to have a waitress/waiter who comes by you regularly to check so if you need something, you're not waiting in vain. Delicious food, clean and upbeat place.

    (4)
  • Matthew L.

    I couldn't leave Chicago without grabbing a deep dish slice. One thing I think they do very well is the crust it is reminiscent of a pie crust. Not greasy or oily, but still flaky and firm. As with any deep dish pizza, this is stick to your ribs pizza. I tried the sausage and cheese. I think a slice is more than enough for me. Salad was just so so. If you are looking for a cheaper option, try the lunch special. A personal pizza, salad and soda for $8.

    Came to this location a few weeks ago. Was expecting a Long wait, but we were seated right away. Ordered an appetizer that came out very quickly as well as a stuffed pizza and a thin crust. It actually didn't take very long and it was delicious. This place is a must when visiting Chicago.

  • Ethan R.

    Being a Bay Area and only knowing deep crust pizza through Zacharys, I asked my Illinois friends for a real chicago pizza joint when I passed through this town. Everyone told me to go to Giordano's. The wait can be a long bit for a pizza to bake, but it is worth it. The sauce is rich and delicious, the toppings generous. Bring an appetite and satisfy it in a sitting if you can even finish it. The beer selection is a bit weak for a west coast beer snob like myself, but the waitress searched the back room and found the last Leinenkugel Honey Weiss they had that day. What a champ! Made the wait fantastic.

    Meant to leave this as a check-in tip. It takes 35 minutes to bake the deep dish so don't come too hungry and arrive with plenty of time to wait. 4 stars for the delicious Italian sandwich (marinara on the side) and cheesecake for dessert.

  • Parag R.

    I only go to this restaurant for their Chicago style pizza and the pizza is amazing. Very close to the airport so great for a first or last meal in Chicago. Pizza is heavy though (naturally), so scale back your usual pizza sizes because you will be carrying a box out. Usual veggie options for toppings (or stuffing in this case); nothing special there. Service is not excellent but prompt and efficient. Don't expect the friendliness of your local diner. I've been to other Giordano's restaurants which had better service and more welcoming atmosphere. However, if you are a devotee of the Chicago style pizza, then the rest of the review is kind of irrelevant isn't it?

  • David N.

    Would've pulled an easy 5, but the take out appetizer sampler sucked big time. It was cold by the time we got it back, and really just a huge fried mess. Obviously the pizza kicked ass (2 thin crusts, Veggie & and Meat Lovers more-less). It was pipin' hot and tasted fantasmic. Harmonious....

    Recently ordered a stuffed pepperoni pizza. Brought it home and found the pepperoni on top of the sauce and very little sauce in general on the pizza. Called to ask about a new recipe and was told "oh yeah we put the pepperoni on top unless you want it in" hey genius thanks for telling me when I ordered. Worst pizza I ever got from this location. If ordering again I will try the one on Dempster. Very disappointed.

    In my opinion, Giordanos is the best of all the Chicago style pizza places in Chicago (e.g. Gino's East, Lou Malnatis, UNO, etc.). They seem to have MORE cheese and the crust is this buttery, flakey thing. This location is 5 minutes from O'Hare so when you land and you just need a good pizza, they are just down the street from the car rental lots (and they are open until 11 PM!!!). While the pizza is great, the service isn't, but that may be a thing in Chicago since most places in the burbs have crappy service. Our waitress forgot our appetizer (and she tried to charge me for it!) and she never filled up our drinks until we asked. that said, the pizza and the atmosphere make up for the service. I've never seen so many fat broads in one place other than the waiting room at Jenny Craig. And it is really a hoot to listen to these heffers complain about their boyfriends, husbands and ex's as they scarf down slice after slice of the calorie laden stuffed crust pizza. Sometimes, you just want to stand up in the restaurant and scream "have any of you cows looked in a mirror naked?"

    We went to Giordano's on Wednesday, May 7th for dinner. We are not from Chicago and we wanted to have some authentic Chicago deep dish pizza. We went to the right place! We had their small veggie deep dish pizza and it was fantastic! The small was plenty for 2 people, we even had enough for dinner the next night. If you order their deep dish, be prepared to wait about 45 minutes (that's how long it takes for a typical deep dish pizza). I would say the only downside was the appetizer. We got the fried calamari appetizer that also had green beans and peppers. However, when it came out it did not have any green beans, just red pepper and some lemons. The breading was very bland and flavorless, much less appetizing than most calamari appetizers for a price of $9. Other than that, we also got a 3 bite dessert that tasted great. They struck out on their appetizer but the deep dish pizza more than made up for it!

  • Cheryl P.

    We ate there 2 separate times during our stay. The first was for my first taste of Chicago pizza, and it was very good (takes 35 minutes to cook though, and they're serious about that...). They have a delicious marinara sauce, which makes everything else fall into place... The second time, my husband had linguini and meat sauce, and I had the antipasto. DELICIOUS for both! Very good meals at very reasonable prices! Definitely leaving it on our short list for future trips to Chicago!

  • Beth G.

    Came here on a busy and kinda noisy Saturday afternoon with a party of 7. We kept the waitress pretty busy but not once was she anything less than gracious. The combo appetizer plate is always a huge hit for my family, no matter the location, and it's hard for me to control myself and leave room for the pizza because I just want to eat every last morsel on the platter. Ahhhh, the pizza. I'm left to wonder why exactly it is that I have given my loyalty to Lou's for so long. I have never had a deep-dish pizza at any Giordano's I've eaten at that has not been perfect. Crust, cheese, sauce, whatever toppings we decided on (and argued about), just... perfect.

    I came here because a friend had a long layover at O'Hare and I figured I'd help him kill some time for a long lunch. Now, being a lifelong Chicagoan, I know and love Giordanos. I really do. I've been going since I was a wee laddie. And without a doubt, the pizza here is just as good as any of the other Giordano's I've been to. But the atmosphere. How do I put this nicely....or at least politically correctly? Well, let's just say it is not the same clientele or level of service as the Giordanos downtown, Evanston, Oak Brook, or Willowbrook. It's a little bit more...Jersey Shore, if you will. Our waiter got the job done, but was very curt ("whaddya want?" for example) and just stood over us until we cleared the table for her to be able to place down our only pizza! In all honesty it was fine because it gave us something to joke about in the lulls of conversation. But don't come here looking for the friendly, warm service you expect from the other Chicagoland branches. This is a location simply for the pizza.

    Boston north end has nothing to worry about. I know go to Chicago and get stuffed pizza. We did get one of those, a special loaded with veggies and sausage. It was large (even the small one). Stuffing was ample. Veggies crisp. Problem with this and the 'thin crust' (we will get back to that in a minute) is the crust. Tough, stale like taste, dry. As for the thin crust. Nope they do NOT toss thin pizza's here. No way they could. You know that pizza from school, or the freezer, yup thats what youll get here. Yuck. I really couldn't even eat it. And when I took the left overs back to the hotel, no one wanted them there either. Double tripple yuck. Would completely NOT recommend this place. Why two stars? Well the waitstaff was very nice and the salads were great. Should of stopped there.... be we were at a pizza place right?

    Sigh, I think the only reason I crave this place is because my mom ate it while she was pregnant with me. True story. Anyway. I think that I should be part-owner of this company because I've given them hundreds of my dollars over the years. And this particular location was on the way to my job at O'Hare and got many of those dollars. The food-Stuffed pizza gives me life. And the thin crust is excellent as well. Either or will do. I keep it very simple; sausage, pepperoni and mushrooms. Maybe some green peppers every now and then for variety. But it really is excellent. I've been known to get an entire pizza for myself. I don't care how much it costs. Build one in DC pleeeease! I am in pizza withdrawal over here.

  • Mandi M.

    Giordonos has great pizza. Hands down! I usally get the thin crust delivered or picked up, and you don't need to order extra cheese, it has alot of cheese, and its not cracker thin like most thin crusts, and thats what I love about it. I came here once to eat, and we had to wait about 25 minutes for a seat, and we ordered the deep dish, and had to wait about another 30 minutes for our pizza to come.It was soooooo good, but Its hard to wait when your starving, but its a nice place. I would recommend making reservations if your coming around dinnertime, or just ordering it for deliverly/pickup.

    Typical Chicago style pizza. Good crispy crust, tasty sauce and good cheese. Nothing spectacular, but nothing bad either. My only complaint was that the pie could have been hotter. You can preorder your pizza while you are waiting for your table. If you are waiting for a flight out of O'Hare and craving a Chicago style pizza, Giordano's is worth the stop.

    We again had a great meal here. When we arrived we were told 20 minute wait, we preordered our pizza and then grabbed a beer. Our table was ready before we even had our first sip of beer. Our food was wonderful and our waitress was very good. Everyone should eat here when in the Rosemont area

    I was in Chicago recently, and tried Giordano's...talk about "classic" Chicago! The stuffed pizza s amazing!! The crust, a buttery (but not over powering) goodness on the sides, and a almost cookie like consistency on the bottom works PERFECT with the sauce, cheese, fillings. It is everything you would want in a stuffed\deep dish pizza. They also do a "thin crust" which, while good...really pales in comparison to the stuffed pizza. Other items on the menu, stuffed Italian Beef Sandwiches, sausages, etc. all looked really good and worth a try on future visits.

    This is a chain and they do a great volume of business. The restaurant was filled with customers and we waited only about 10 minutes for our table, and they give you a pizza pager when your table is ready. We ordered a small 10" deep dish pizza ($10.95) and it was way too much for us. We are not big eaters and 1 slice was plenty. We ordered a sausage and mushroom and it was very good and we enjoyed it. The cheese is mild and unlike a regular mozzarella on a thin crust pizza that I'm use too. We had leftovers for another meal the next day. I wished I ordered it with spinach bc of other yelp reviews...maybe next time. The staff was very nice and attentive.

    Since I am a flight attendant, I get to try a ton of different places. I saw this on the food channel and knew I had to try it. Its unbelievable how good this pizza was! My friends and I ordered the sausage pizza and were a little shocked when they said that a Medium would feed 2-3 people. There were 4 of us and we ate it for 2 days!

    Where to begin... I recently tried to book my rehearsal dinner at this location. What a mistake. I called in December to book for March. They told me they don't open the calendar until January, ok. I called back one night in January and spoke to a hostess. I asked if she could please email me the catering menu since it's not available on line. She nicely said we are very busy but after the dinner rush I'll have a manager email one over. No problem, busy in a restaurant, I completely understand. 48 hours later still no email. I called back asked again to have the menu emailed. The hostess put a manager on the line. He asked if instead of email can he fax it. Fine, but I said I'd call back with a fax number. I called back about 10 minutes later to provide the #. I was greeted by the most rude man. I said I'm calling back to have the catering menu faxed to me. He instantly started rambling off all the catering prices. I tried to interrupt several times to tell him I wanted it faxed, but he just kept going. Finally once he was done I said I just want it faxed, that's what I was trying to tell you. He sighed (like I just wasted his time) and said fine whats the number. 48 hours later still no fax. I was blown away at this point by how rude and careless this staff is. I called back asked for the manager and told him I still had not received and email or fax. He barely apologized and said he would take care of it. I gave him the fax number. Would you believe it....STILL NO FAX. It's like these people didn't even want the money for the 40 person rehearsal dinner I was planning on having there. At this point I gave up. So I did what any aggravated customer would do....I wrote corporate. Needless to say after all of this I shouldn't be surprised that it is now March and I still have not had one response from the corporate office. I mean I guess the employees learn from the boss's. It doesn't seem like any of them even care about the business and that's not the type of restaurant that I'm going to spend my money at. After all of this I took my business down the street to the Ram Bar and Brewery. Now there is a place that will be getting an amazing recommendation from me. I understand that the pizza here may be really good, but if the staff is horribly unprofessional and corporate doesn't care then NO THANK YOU. I'll be getting my pizza elsewhere.

    You promise your aunts you will bring back their favorite CHICAGO DEEP DISH pizza. They prefer Lou Malnatis, but you prefer GINO's EAST so you say ok cool I'll cop some frozen GINO's right before I hop on my flight since there's one down the street from O'Hare right? WRONG! This Gino's by the airport requires a 24 hour order of frozen pizzas? WTF??? So you desperately ask wheres the nearest Deep Dish Pizza close by I got a flight I gotta make in 45minutes! So thank GOD theres a Giordano's a mile down. This Giordano's was GREAT! They had various frozen pizzas for me to choose from I got 2 frozen pizzas for my aunts with the works. I told them I had to catch a flight like now so they quickly wrapped up and packaged my 2 frozen pizzas. The lady even quickly taped up both pizzas and busted a MACGUYVER and made a suitcase package with a handle for me to carry onto the plane! They said the pizzas should stay frozen for 8 hours strong! The staff was quick, polite, efficient and friendly. I got my pizzas fast and ready to go and made my flight back.

    While I've hardly sampled the entire run of Chicago Pizza joints, I have little doubt that this one is far from the best. Not to say it's bad, but the extreme variance in quality of pizzas I sampled, along with the overbearing, yet somewhat dull cheese and crust, left me a bit aloof. Oddly enough, as someone who doesn't really order veggie anything, I ended up enjoying the veggie pizza from Giordano's more than the others I sampled. It just simply had more flavor, and variety thereof. The vegetables also stood up to the massive crust and provided some much needed texture. The pepperoni must have been the most nondescript, nay nonexistant pizza topping I have ever had. If I hadn't already known it was a pepperoni pie, I probably would have walked away thinking it was just a cheese one. The pepperoni was extremely thin, and soft, blending into the rest of the pie, and offered virtually no flavor of its' own. The sausage had similar issues, though it was noticeably better. In the end, I'd say the crust here is just too thick, and soft, almost to the point of being undercooked. Without any noticeable texture from the crust, and the relative blandness of the crust and cheese overwhelming the sauce and toppings, a Giordano's pizza is a stuffing, if less than amazing meal. Not bad, but it could be much better.

    We went to Giordano's for lunch after arriving at O'Hare. I had heard nothing but fabulous things about Chicago deep dish pizza, and the guy at Enterprise recommended Giordano's. Well, I think the problem is that I just don't really like Chicago pizza. I like a softer crust, and when I think of deep dish, I think of a thicker, bready crust. The crust, though, is pretty thin, and the deep dish part is all cheese. If I had gotten more than just black olives, I may have liked it more, but I am a pretty basic pizza eater. The garlic bread was just average, as was the service. Our server was nice enough but didn't seem excited to be at work or really interested in anything. The place was just average; a little run down, but in general, average. There was nothing that I would say was bad about our experience, but it would not be my first choice next time.

    Heaven for a hometown homesick girl!! I was recently back home in Chicago for the first time in years. I was craving some GOOD pizza (unlike what I can get where I live now). The concierge at my hotel recommended Giordano's, just up the road. Skeptical, I ventured out. Growing up, I had never really been a fan of deep dish pizza, having always had thin crust instead (since that's what the "fam" always ordered"), but I gave it a go anyway. The waitress was very friendly, even as busy as she was. She was quick with drink refills without me asking. I ordered a deep dish pepperoni/sausage/extra cheese. She told me 30 minutes, but seemed shorter. Perhaps it was the Bulls game on the tube, perhaps it was looking at all the great Chicago pictures and posters and signs up on their walls. Regardless, the time flew. When my pizza got there, it was phenominal. I was able to eat two slices before getting stuffed beyond words. It was absolutely amazing!! I had no idea what I was missing all those years. Next time I'm back, I'm DEFINITELY heading over there!!

    I have eaten at Giordano's both in Chicago and in Orlando. My first visit was to the Orlando location. I would have liked to have tried the deep dish pizza, but the waiter said that the wait would be 45 minutes to an hour - sorry, no go with that. I tried the thin crust instead and would grade it a C-. The sauce and cheese were decent but the bottom crust had a bizarre consistency. I tried again in Chicago, but the thin crust pizza was about the same - edible, but not memorable. The eggplant parm dinner in Orlando was quite good - and I would return for that. I also ordered a greek salad, which was good as well. Bottom line for me: don't waste your time with the thin crust pizza. The deep dish looks good but you may want to call ahead to order. The eggplant parm is well above average.

    If you're looking for deep dish Chicago Pizza, this is the place to be. Excellent food. I took one star off because it took a very long time for our pizza to arrive after ordering... about 45 minutes. The quality of food was excellent. Our server was courteous and attentive.

    Ahhhh, Giordano's. My old stand by when staying at the Westin O'Hare. Still tasty and not too pricey like room service. We went here with some friends after some dance workshops at the Salsa Congress for dinner - I had an appletini and the spaghetti with meat sauce, my girl had the Pasta Alfredo and the guys had a deep dish pizza, I think 2 of them it was their first. (You know you never forget your 1st...) It was good, filling. I took some back to our room and snacked on my leftover before I made everyone Caipirinha's and the girls and I got dressed for the Social that night. Oh, and if you're too tired - they deliver!

    We had a layover at Chicago O'Hare and we wanted some traditional deep dish pizza as we made our way to Amsterdam. We were able to get some good advice in the airport. We snagged a free airport shuttle to a nearby hotel and walked over to Giordano's. Allow some time for the Pizza. The 45 minute wait might be a shocker if your aren't used to deep dish wait time. The pizza was amazing. Thick buttery crust that I still dream of. A much better way to kill some time than hanging out in the airport.

    We ate here twice this week, once in house and one delivery. The stuffed pizza is EXCELLENT, and the small is definitely enough for 2! The cheese bread was weak and u don't need it anyways.

    WWWWOOOOOOWWWWWW Definitely one of the places I would come back again! I heard a lot about Chicagon's Best PIZZA and Finally had the chance to Try them out! Looked thru yelp and found this one near by my hotel and Probably will go to the Main one that Everyone TALKS about it. Went inside with a STARVING stomach at 6 PM, The place was half empty because I think i came early for dinner, Friendly staff, seated us at a booth table, and passed by their open kitchen with a BIG MOLDED SAMPLE DEEP DISH PIZZA PIE In front of me! (so that's a PLUS!). Handed us the menu, they had 2 options of pizza (MOST FAMOUS DEEP DISH and Think crush (NOT as Popular but still good), comes in 4 sizes (small, medium, large and Extra large, depending how many people are attending) and a list of italian appetizers, salads, entree, and dessert. Everything seems soo YUMMY but of course we had to order the FAMOUS PIZZA (That's what I was here for). So it was 4 of us, so we ordered the medium size (serves 3-4 people) and 3 entress. the FUNNY part is that on the ENTREE list, they have 2 PORTION sizes! (LIGHT dish and REGULAR dish) hahahahaha So as I WAS SAYING, 3 Entree and our waitress saw us, and recommended us to get the Light dish version. (Which was chicken alfredo, Veggie ravioli, and a regular spaguetti with meat Sauce) Since the Pizza would take about 30 minutes. Entree arrived, YUM YUM YUM. so ALL of us were 3/4 full already and the lady brought up this almost 2 inch deep dish pizza cut down into 8 pieces. First bite it was a bit crusty and loved the taste of CHEEESEEEE!!!, and CHUNKS of MEAT AND VEGGIES. It was AWESOME but I could only have one because I was too full, but definitely one of the best Deep Dish Pizza i've ever HAD!. Skipped Dessert (sigh...) but Definitely will come back just for Pizza, no other entrees (they were good too but I was Convinced how this Pizza was) Bill came out to 20 bucks per person (with a regular drink). NOT BAD AT ALL!

    Ahhh, good Chicago deep dish pizza without a two hour wait. There is nothing better. I've been to Uno's in downtown Chicago and this place blows them away! There was a little bit of a wait for a Saturday night, but they allow you to pre-order the pizza (what a smart idea) to make the wait a little more bearable. The pizza was delicious! The ingredients were fresh and it even tasted better the second day. The medium is PLENTY for two people for two nights. You've got to make it to Giordano's, whether it is here or one of their other locations. It's great deep dish at a good price.

    I ordered take out pizza while staying at a hotel near the airport. Pizza crust was a bit harder than I'm used to but the sauce and cheese was great. Mozzarella sticks were also tasty, marinara sauce was a bit on the salty side. Pricier than major pizza chains and not worth the premium.

    I feel bad for giving this place 2 stars since it's so popular, but 2 stars actually equals meh I've had better...and I have! Came here during an off time so there was no crazy wait. We ordered the bruschetta, stuffed mushrooms and spinach stuffed pizza. The bruschetta and mushrooms were good, not extraordinarily great, just good. The spinach stuffed pizza was aiight. Size impressed me cuz it was huge! Taste wise, not so much, wayyyyyy too much cheese. After a few bites the taste got kinda bland.... Lou Malnatis is better.. sorry. =/

    Tonight was my first eating Giordano's pizza. Yes, you read that correctly. I don't deny that I may live under a rock. It seems everybody likes to compare, contrast, and choose a favorite between Giordano's and Lou Malnati's. I have a tough time choosing. I do enjoy LM's crust a bit more. And I dig the sausage patty they got going on instead of the traditional crumbled style. But Giordano's pizza is cheesier and saucier. But oddly enough, the reason I probably choose Giordano's: The cheese garlic tomato bread. It was delicious and under $5. I almost didn't save any room in my belly for pizza. My experience at Giordano's was pretty pleasant, but unfortunately I think we got stuck with the worst waitress they have to offer. All the other waitresses appeared on the ball, but ours was just old and bad. I feel bad throwing her under the bus, because at times she didn't come off as a total witch. But for the most part, she just didn't seem very friendly. Not to mention the amount of time it took for her to remember to go swipe my credit card to pay for the meal. Service could have been better, but still a nice experience overall.

    Our annual visit to Chicago always ends with real Chicago pizza. The second year we asked the hotel staff where nearby THEY would get pizza. They told us here. Our search was over. Not only do I DREAM of this pizza for weeks before and after I eat it, everything else is delicious too! I have only ever got take out from here but the staff is always very friendly and upbeat. Next year our hotel may be even closer to this place so maybe we will dine in... or eat there more than once ::: fingers crossed ::::

  • Ian R.

    I think Giordano's has the idea of a 'stuffed crust' pizza down but their execution leaves much to be desired. They advertise a 'flaky, buttery crust' but my crust was floury, not buttery, although it was flaky. Secondly I'm afraid I got a pizza that was in the 'warm' section of the oven as opposed to a freshly prepared one even though I was sitting in the dining room. I thought the sausage was absent in taste as well. The pricing is reasonable for the individual size-around $7. The next large step up, however, is around $17, which I think is pretty steep for a 'small' pizza. I sure hope Chicago can do better.

  • Jenny W.

    I'm a pizza lover and I've tried different types of pizza all over the United States. So far Giordano's is my favorite. I ordered the personal-sized pepperoni pizza, which is one of the lunch specials. The waitress kindly advised me it would be 30 minutes before the pizza was ready, since I had arrived toward the end of lunch time and they had to bake a fresh one. Normally it is less than a 15 minute wait for these, but I was willing to hang around. Well, it was definitely worth the wait! The crust was buttery and flaky. The pizza was packed full of cheese and pepperoni. I highly recommend going here if you are in Chicago!

    Four stars because of service and the salad, The Stuffed pizza was OK but I would have preferred it to be hotter and the green peppers cooked a bit more. Granted, I'm originally from New York and I like NY style pizza best but that didn't effect my rating because I'm not comparing Chicago Style Stuffed Pizza to Brooklyn Style Pizza. We ordered the Greek salad (the 3 of us) and split it, it was more than enough. I really enjoyed the anchovies and Feta cheese and would have liked a few more black olives. The service was excellent, patient when we needed more time to decide and fast once we did. They were even fast when we ask them to order us a cab to take us back to our hotel.

    Now I come from the great pizza state of Connecticut, but this pie seems like a different food altogether. I really liked the crust and the cheese in the stuffed pie ( deep dish to us novices).I did not care for the red sauce. At this very casual spot I also appreciated the friendly service and vintage ads. After this kind of lunch I I need a nap.

    Deep Fried app combo looked like the frozen preprocessed boringness. Pizza was ok, crust not as good as it should be. Sauce was a little runny and the toppings all slid off once it started getting a little cold. Lou Malnatis is a better choice

  • Dave K.

    We went to Giordano's because it was the closest "Chicago-style" pizza near the airport. It was good (nothing incredible), the wait wasn't too long, the service was good, and the prices were better than Uno. This will probably become my deep-dish chain of choice when I'm in the area.

  • John H.

    Best deep dish, hands down. I travel to Chicago regularly, and I can't leave without having Giordano's deliver a deep dish. Don't tell me Geno's East is better. It's not. Giordano's by far is the best in town.

    Flying through Chicago on business and was told that I had to go here for the stuffed pizza. I got a small pepperoni and could only finish two slices (amongst a decent amount of beer as well). It was literally a cheese pie on flakey pie crust. Pretty amazing, but as expected and a little overwhelming. The decor was as expected as well. An older feeling place with rubber seats in the booths and walls full of pictures. Remeniscant of pizza parlors I've visited in New York. Very welcoming and unique in it's own right. Would highly recommend, but wouldn't work travel plans around it.

    There were 2 things I wanted on my first trip to Chicago- an authentic Chicago dog (read my review on 'Wiener Circle') and authentic Chicago Deep Dish pizza. Well Chicago, you have stolen my heart. Never again will I be the same. Never again will I be able to bite into a limp, sad, weak piece of California pizza with out a little bit of my soul weeping. I mean wow. Wow.

    Holy Schnikies - this is substantial pizza! We ordered two par-baked pies for overnight delivery to Virginia to celebrate the inauguration of Barack Obama with friends. Indeed, the pies arrived as-ordered and on-time; frozen solid and securely packed in a Styrofoam cooler with dry ice. Yes, the shipping costs are steep - about the same as, cough, two pizzas - but what a cool way to celebrate history! Just defrost and bake in the oven for 20-minutes for pizza that tastes pretty-darn-close to the belly-stuffers served in a Giordano's restaurant. Did I mention substantial? The first clue is how heavy these little bricks, er, pizzas are. Then there's the massive outer edge crust. Forget about light, airy and crisp crusts - Giordano's are solid and dense and built to hold all the large pieces of sausage (or other "toppings"), ricotta and mozzarella. Finally, they're topped with another layer of crust and doused with tomato sauce. Giordano's are knife and fork pizzas; cut into one and the cheese ingredients just ooze out. And, boy, is it good! The six of us managed to work our way through one pie while watching the evening highlights of the inaugural ceremony and, later, the inaugural balls. The other pizza is in the freezer - we'll serve that at our Super Bowl party. Clearly, the best way to enjoy Giordano's is to get the pizza fresh from the oven and directly to the table. But if you're outside of Chicagoland, you can still get your Giordano's fix by ordering online.

    I'd love to get behind this Chicago sensation. And I do....for the delicious, amazing chopped salad. But not for the pizza. Being an airline crew member, I've been to this location by O'Hare several times since it's right next door to our hotel. I'm just not a big fan of the pizza....It tastes frozen, or like out of a grocery store. The toppings are fine...but the crust is bleh. No thanks. I've learned my lesson and will enjoy the salads.

    We stayed at the Marriott Suites, and this was a 5 minute walk from the hotel. We ordered a medium (meat) and a small (vegetarian) pizza for the six of us, and it was way too much food. I would advise you to err on the side of caution when deciding how much food to order here. Everything was very good, served in a timely manner (considering the amount of time a deep dish takes to prepare). We were in town for 4 days and three nights, and had a stuffed pizza battle royale between Giordano's and Uno, with a day off in between the two places (this was wise). I really like Giordano's, but Uno was my favorite of the two (review to follow). Next time we will have to try a different pizzeria. I understand this is a topic of discussion that people get very passionate about.

    Wow! I was staying around the corner for some work training and my coworkers and I had gotten in around lunch and the doorman at our hotel suggested this place. He said it was "the best" pizza in Chicago and it was walking distance. It's tucked away behind a gas station and a McDonald's and when you walk inside you feel like it's been there for 40-50 years. It's very charming and non-threatening. I noticed a lot of families in there and found it very endearing. I'm not sure if it's b/c there's a higher divorce rate or what but it was nice. The three of us couldn't agree on a single pizza to split and it's probably good we didn't. We went with the Spinach dip and shared and holy crap! It's sooo good! The three of us decided to go with personal stuffed pizza's. I want to say they're around $6.50 for a cheese and $.50 per each topping. I'm now getting hungry writing this....BUT! The whole thing was amazing. The cheese is fresh mozzarella not the cheese pellets or processed shredded cheese. You can actually see cheese BALLS in the pizza! The crust..oh the crust. I never ever would've imagined the crust would've been the way it is. It was almost like the perfect marriage of thick and thin crusts. Obviously it was thick and tasty but right around the top of it it felt and tasted like a thin crust pizza and it was just a world of textures and flavors. I want more. I want more now!

  • Tyler W.

    The crust is amazing, and this place is a solid stuffed pizza joint. My boss and I (two young guys) couldn't even finish half a pizza - that's a heavy pizza my friends. This thing was quite tasty, we got the supreme (no mushrooms) and it was good, I feel like had I gotten one of their other pizzas I would have enjoyed it more. Mushroomless supreme is kinda pointless. But even with my ingredient error (do I look like I know how to spell fopaw?) I still loved this place and would return. Family ambiance, good for relaxing and hanging out with a ridiculous pizza and a cold beer. Beer selection could be better! Tyler

    Every time I visit Chicago (only twice thus far), I have to get some genuine Chicago deep dish. Last time, it was Gino's East. The pizza there was really great and had more cornmeal in its crust. I'm pretty serious about my crust and loved Gino's East, so I was hesitant to try Giordano's. We were staying in Elk Grove Village and needed a location nearby, so we decided to try Giordano's in Rosemont. We loved it! We ordered a medium and were able to eat it for 2+ meals (that's for both my boyfriend and I-- he has a pretty voracious appetite for pizza). So if you're ordering for 3 or 4 people, I suggest the medium. Call your order in about 40 minutes before you want to dig in 'cause it does take some time to make such a thick pizza. We had sausage and green peppers on our's-- delicious. The crust here is thick like Gino's East but almost has a pastry-like flakyness. It's AMAZING! Chicago deep dish is in a pizza arena of its own. Don't try to compare it to other pizza because it's like "comparing apples and oranges." Definitely try Giordano's!!

    Continuing on our quest for spectacular Chicago-style deep dish pizza, we tried the Giordano's in Rosemont... I can't say that we tried them all, but so far, I have to say that Giordano's is the best so far! I am reserving a fifth star in case I find something better! We ordered a 8 inch stuffed crust pizza with our usual, Italian Sausage, pepperoni, green peppers, mushrooms, onions, and basil. We were blown away at the depth of this beautiful pie and my picky wife loved the sauce! I think we both agreed that this is a definite 9 on our 1-10 scale. Very yummy especially with a pint of Blue Moon!

    Coming to Chicago for the first time we had to have ourselves some deep dish pizza. Overall, I was happy with our large deep dish pizza with veggies. We also got the family appetizer plate....overall all the food was extremely filling and yummy. The food was really reasonably priced for the amount you get. The place was packed but we still managed to get a seat in less than 20 minutes. I have had better deep dish at a small little place in Rocklin, Ca....but was happy to have the Chicago experience.

    I'm reviewing this location because I couldn't find the three near me: the Lake Zurich one, the gurnee one, and the one over in Fox Lake. I ate at this Rosemont location a lot in my 20's. I love Giordano's pizza, the thin crust is so buttery you just can't deny the excellence of the product. But I've noticed that I can't go there and get a pizza without it costing us 30 bucks every time we go. Considering the large thin-crust pizza is as small as it is: That seems a bit high for me right now. But would I say I've regretted any meal there? No.

    I have no idea why is Giordano's so popular. Seriously people, if you have tried their pizza and you didn't like it, try somewhere more iconic like Uno or Lou Malnati's. To me, they are what Chicago pizza really is. Giordano's deep dish is doughy, thick, and has way too much cheese. I could never manage to go for the second slice. The service is good but I just didn't like the pizza.

    My husband and I had our rehearsal dinner at Giordano's. As a Chicago native, my husband and I live in Ohio but wanted a Chicago wedding. We wanted our Ohio guests to experience some of the best things Chicago has to offer, and Giordano's is one of our favorites! For approximately $500, we fed 25 people unlimited salad, pasta, pizza, and pop. The staff was friendly, efficient, and always available. The restaurant was clean and very convenient for my out of town guests staying in hotels near O'Hare. The salad and pasta were good, but we obviously went easy on those to save room for the pizza. We had plenty of leftovers for our guests to eat in the hotel room, as one slice really fills you up!

    My first trip to Chicago this past week, my boyfriend and I were famished after our plane touched down around 9 in the evening... After checking in at the hotel, we started looking around for places to eat. This Giordano's was open until 10:30 (and being that it was 10:15 at the time we knew we had to rush). We pre-ordered a deep dish and we were seated as soon as we arrived- no issues with the time at all. Our server (oh I wish I remembered her name!) was so kind, even though we were there WELL past closing. The pizza was absolutely amazing (kicks the pizza's ass here in California for SURE) and the cannoli was delicious! This place was definitely a treat. Will be ordering from their website and have some Giordano's in California for all my friends :)

    I've never dined in at this location but when I recently stayed at the Wynham O'hare nearby we called them for delivery. It WAS $40 for one large and one extra large pizza....but I knew Giordano's is pricey going into it. Our order was right and tasty--and arrived hot, despite the fact that they told us "within the hour" and it took 64 minutes (but it WAS a Saturday night). They also get bonus points for bringing Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, forks, plates, and napkins with the order!

    Good deep dish but not as good as Gino's East In my quest for the ultimate Chicago deep dish pizza since I am here on business and we have no decent pizza in California, I am trying all the Chicago spots in a contest. Had Ginos' East last week and was fantastic. Today was busy at work and no time for lunch so around 3pm, I ordered me a medium deep dish pie. It came an hour later and I chowed down on a slice. Tasty! But the crust is not as good as Gino's east that I had last week. Overall was good! Now I need to compare Gino's East and Giordano's against Pizza Uno and Lou Malnati's. Summary- best for delivery or take out when you need a big meal and cannot leave work.

    My boyfriend and I had eaten here twice. Once was in the resturant and the second time was take out. We dined in and had a medium with an appitizer as we were starving. It was good and my boyfriend can eat, but the pie kicked our butts. The next time we had it, it was take out and had a couple of sides a small or personal pizza and dessert. We couldn't finish the pizza again. There were only 4 slices I think. We had tiramisu and canoli. Both were good. loved them both. We figured we likes New York pizza more because it was thinner.

  • Alan J.

    Had a thin crust pizza here, it was okay. Mine is much better. Then I also have high standards. Whenever I go to New York I make a pilgrimage to John's. I was surprised that it took them 45 minutes to make a thin crust pizza as well. The crust was probably the same that they used on the deep dish - which is just wrong. It was grainy and crumbly - thin crust should be yeasty and full of gluten, pulled tight and thin and baked to cracker crispness. This one was too thick, had a grainy texture, and crumbled.

    This place is fantastic after a long plane ride. It's just around the corner from the airport--and what a fantastic way to reward yourself! The deep dish spinach is what I usually go for, and it never disappoints. The service here has always been friendly too.

    it really is a PIE! Boy did I regret eating 2 loafs of the fresh bread they give out and a side order of salad and lasagna...because when I finally got to the pizza I was already so stuffed...the cheese on that thing is crazy...i mean who can say no to too much cheese? but seriously this thing had TOO MUCH cheese!! to much for my heart to handle..

    I love this place since I eat here every year to get my fix in tiny Rosemont. It's pretty good service-wise and the pizzas are always pretty consistent. They are freaking huge but I guess that's the style. The crowd is interesting but then I'm here with bodybuilders and photographers when I am in town so we're probably just as funky to them...

    I swung by here for the "Chicago's world famous stuffed pizza". This is less pizza and more Cheese Pie. Seriously, one slice is like a brick of cheese with tomato sauce smeared on top. Way too much pasteurized dairy for a mid day meal - for any meal. Also, like most pizza joints - the salads are an afterthought.

    This was recommended to me as one of the best places to get pizza in Chicago. So imagine my delight on my first night that my roommate informed me that they delivered to our hotel. Perfect, that's where I wanted to go anyway! But then we called to place our order and were told it would take an hour an a half! Maybe that's standard in Chicago, but sheez, I couldn't wait that long to eat. Not to mention the person on the phone was not very helpful (they had brochures at my hotel, yet when we called they didn't know where the hotel was). So we scratched that plan and ate dinner in the hotel restaurant. Unfortunately, the hotel restaurant dinner was rather unsatisfying, and I was still hungry, so I decided to order a Giordano's pizza anyway. Since I already had something in my stomach, I could handle the hour and a half wait. When the pizza was ready, the driver called my cell phone and asked me to meet him outside, since he didn't want to deliver to my room. OK, well if you've seen the gargantuan maze that is the Marriott O'Hare, I don't really blame him, but still. It was pretty confusing finding a place to meet each other, but eventually I got my pizza. The up side to the fact that I had to go outside, though, was the fact that I saw Gino's across the parking lot. I really have to say I was not impressed with the pizza. It was certainly good, but not quite what it was hyped up to be. It was a very deep dish stuffed pizza, that literally looked like a pizza pie. I got the spinach stuffed pizza, and the spinach had an odd texture to it. The crust was all right, not too greasy, but unremarkable. Afterwards, I was kind of annoyed that I had to deal with this slow and inefficient delivery, when Gino's was just across the way, though I didn't know that at the time. I am glad that I got to try a Chicago stuffed pizza, even if it wasn't that memorable. (Update: it's been suggested to me that it probably tastes much better straight out of the pan rather than in a pizza box, which I'm sure is true!) If you're staying at the Marriott, I recommend Gino's over Giordano's, both for convenience and for better pizza, IMHO.

  • Jovia F.

    Ive been to a few Giordanos locations. This one being 5 minutes from my house, I'm glad its one of the better ones Ive been to. The pizza is, well, its giordanos. The cheese is good, the crust is average, and the toppings are pretty basic. The pasta is far too expensive for the portions and quality if you ask me. And I'm fairly sure the mozz sticks are the frozen grocery store type. I may be a little jaded of the place because Ive been there so many times, but its not like I wouldn't go again. Its good, but the service can be absolutely terrible sometimes. One thing a server should never do is sit at an empty table near you and chat while youre staring at her waiting for service...and this has happened a few times. I also think that when a restaurant is empty, you shouldn't be serving flat soda from a pitcher to people. Otherwise the place is clean and the environment is nice...there's just better places to get a pizza.

  • S F.

    Sorry my Chicago friends, but this New Yorker gives Giordano's and its poor excuse for pizza a HUGE thumbs down. Before you chalk this review up to yet another New Yorker who hates on non-NY pizza, I loved Lou Malnati's pizza. This, however, sucked. The dough was too doughy and had too much flour. The sauce was equivalent to Stouffer's frozen pizza. Horrible. I actually give this spot a 2 only because the service was good and staff was friendly. The concept of pre-ordering your pizzas is fantsatic, and the restaurant was very timely with getting our food to us. That said, the true benefit of pre-ordering was getting to leave this spot earlier so I could catch my flight back to NYC. :) Go to Lou's instead - seriously.

  • B. L.

    They have a good selection of Italian food, but it is the pizza that made this place famous, and that is what I recommend you get. Their thick crust is probably what put them on the map in the first place.

    Excellent pizza, and excellent service. Even though i was a half hour late (a curse on Friday night traffic!!) meeting the group i was having dinner with. The parking lot is a bit hard to get into. Of course I was trying to turn left into it during rush hour, and almost wound up in the banquet place next door ... that blasted Friday night traffic again, lol. I also found the calamari to be most excellent, possibly the best i've ever had. And of course, the deep dish pizza was qujte good, as always! :)

    Came here for lunch today with a group of four people. I've been here before and really enjoy the pizza - their stuffed is one of my favorites. This short review is just to vent a bit about the wait for our food. We ordered our individual pizzas and waited at least 45 minutes before it arrived. I knew it'd take some time, but not THAT long! Only a few others diners were in the restaurant, too! We were pretty cranky about this since we had to be somewhere at a certain time and basically shoveled the food in our mouths when it arrived. Meh. Won't be coming back here during lunch again. But their stuffed pizza IS to die for....

    Date Visited: Saturday 7/25/09 (Lunch) This location opens at 11 a.m. and by george we were there right at 11. We were staying at the O' Hare Hilton and had an afternoon flight, but I hadn't had my pizza in Chicago yet. This was my last chance. Is a stuffed pizza considered Chicago style at all? I don't know that I totally cared. I just wanted pizza while I was there. So, we hopped the train one stop and walked to the restaurant. It was a fairly easy walk. We were the first to arrive (by 5 seconds) and seated by the window. Our server and another who talked to us had European accents and were both very nice. My fiance ordered a thin crust veggie with no cheese. I ordered a stuffed pizza with black olives. She warned me that it would take approx. 35 minutes, which was actually really nice even though that was in the menu. I'm sure a lot of people don't pay attention to how long it might take and get annoyed by the wait. We were in no hurry and saw that the restaurant eventually started to fill up more and more. The pizzas came and our server served our first slice of pizza before she left. I could tell that there were going to be leftovers. At 11:30 a.m., I hardly had an appetite to begin with. I still managed to eat 2 slices (the thick high crust was not consumed by choice). It was delicious. We boxed up the rest of my pizza and what was left of my fiance's. I can see why this place was recommended.

    Came to Chicago for work and wanted to get my authentic Chicago style pizza on before heading back to AZ. Fellow Yelpers didn't let me down as this place came recommended and was near our hotel. Place was pretty normally decorated as you would expect from an Italian restaurant, and we were seated quickly. Drink service was fast and our server was friendly. After the drinks dropped, we ordered food which took about the time she told us if not a little quicker. I ordered the stuffed pizza with ground beef in the small size. It was really tasty, although I'd say that there was quite a decent amount of cheese on it, like a lot actually. Great pizza for cheese lovers. I was only able to eat half of it even though I was pretty hungry. Price seemed reasonable, but I'm honestly not familiar with the typical pricing schemes of Chicago, it would have been a little pricey for AZ. My friend had nothing bad to say about his Chicken Alfredo either and hid Captain and Coke was made quite generously as well he stated. All in all a pretty great little restaurant. Definitely give it a try.

    We spent our last two nights at the Wyndham O'Hare, and there were Giordano's delivery menus all over the lobby. Since I wasn't too keen on spending a day out in the cold, I decided that I would stay in the hotel on Sunday, watch football and have Giordano's delivered to the room. The Giordano's pizza was infinitely more satisfying than the Malnati's pie I had the day before, but it's also the same style of pie that I'm used to getting at Zachary's here in the Bay Area. Steph P., who's from the Chicago area, once told me she didn't really like Zachary's because it tasted "too fresh." I think the freshness is what I like about Zachary's rendition of Chicago deep dish. Plus I prefer Zachary's tangy and acidic tomatoes to Giordano's milder tomatoes. Overall, a really good pie, but next time I'm in town, I'm going to check out some of Chicago's other pizza options.

  • Ericka A.

    I finally tried Lou Malnati's and this again. No disrespect to LM's (they are quite good), but I've decided Giordano's is the better of the two. I think it has to do with the taste/consistency of the crust and the fact that the cheese in the stuffed really adds to clogging my arteries, my ultimate goal.

    Love the deep dish pizza. The salad was average and the service, not the best. Two glasses of wine were knocked over as soon as they were passed off by the server. He offered to replace the wine-and it ended up on the bill.

  • Justin G.

    Most Giordano's locations I have been to are decent, but the pizza doesn't quite hold up to Malnati's and they tend to screw some things up. This is an exception. I have been extremely pleased with this location and it certainly doesn't hurt that lately, the waitresses have been cute when I go.

    Deep dish chicago pizza. Do I need to say anything else? Came here after the DePaul & Syracuse game at the Allstate (Not much of a game, but i digress). If you're in chicago and you want pizza, you put this in your face and you smile. Its dericious. There isn't anything else i can say about this place. Yes, there is usually a half hour wait for your pie. Get an appetizer or come with a group and chat about stuff, you won't leave dissapointed.

    Second Giordano's pizza in my weekend. This time it was delivery, a medium stuffed pizza with pepperoni, sausage, and mushrooms, and from a different location. It took a long time to be delivered, but that's obviously because of the cooking time. No problem there. It was as fast as it could be, aside from that. I would definitely order from here again. It arrived nice and hot and smelling delicious. We cut it up and from the first bite I knew I was one step closer to finding my perfect pizza. Not just a smattering, but a full-on layer of sausage followed by another full-on layer of pepperoni, this is the way pizza should be made! The mushrooms were sadly not as plentiful, but the delicious meat made me completely forget about that.

    Am not that big of a Pizza fan...but this one is DIFFERENT :) OMG ...so in love with this place!! If Chicago had one thing to offer ...am sure it would be the Deep Dish at Giordano's.. Delicious is an understatement when it comes to describing the pizza here.. to top it off ..who knew a pizza place could serve the PERFECT Chicken wings...the sauce just right...not too tangy, not too hot...just perfect. Will definitely stop by here everytime am in Chicago...Love the city...and absolutely love the Pizza here... Mind well...the lines can get pretty darn long...like our wait time was about 45 mins, good thing is --u can order your pizza while you wait...and they start baking it for you...the bake takes about 35 - 40 mins...so the once we had our table...the pizza was right there for us to savour!!

    On the edge of Chicago and Rosemont, Giordano's sits near the very popular corner of Higgins and River Road, right next to the McDonald's. We chose Giordano's for our post-funeral luncheon since it was closest to the cemetery. Our funeral group consisted of only about 10 people, so we did a simple reservation and ordered off the menu instead of going for some package deal like a luncheon might usually entail. Our funeral service ended about 45 minutes sooner than expected. We arrived very early, but no problem. Giordano's gave us a nook in the back, away from the rest of the crowd where we were pretty much all to ourselves. We got our drinks quickly and ordered an appetizer combo platter plus garlic bread. Awesome stuff. I loved the fried calamari especially. It was done right, not too chewy. I had a meatball sandwich, which was made best with the rich pasta sauce on top. My wife went for a chicken Oreganata dish, which was about 3 servings. Made for quite a lot of leftovers, but it was probably the best item on the menu. Kids loved the mostaccioli noodles, which was big enough to split between the two of them. In all, with (non-alcoholic) drinks and appetizers for 10 of us, the total was less than $200, tip included. Certainly a bargain for the quality, quantity and great service we received.

    I finally dined in during my visit at this location and it was pretty full on a Thursday around 3 in the afternoon. The waitress was nice, but not around often. We ordered a bottle of wine for our party of four and ordered a stuffed pie with half sausage and half pepperoni. I've had their pepperoni before in their pie and loved it, but I wanted to try something different and overall I think I like the sausage better! I think it could have had more of it, but it was still delicious. Piping hot and cheesy, this place has got it right! I'm just sad that I couldn't eat more than one slice.

  • Marsha Z.

    I haven't had much experience with true Chicago stuffed and deep dishes. I've had Lou Malnati's last I was here a couple years ago, and didn't think it was very memorable...not bad, just nothing to boast about. And here at Giordano's, I'm left feeling the same way. It's so overwhelming, like I'm swimming in cheese. Other deep dish pizzas I've had are typically well-balanced in sauce, cheese, and crust; they all compliment each other, not overpowering one or the other. Two slices were enough, but I wouldn't doubt that one would've left me full on a half-empty stomach. And I have a big appetite, enough to where I could eat a medium thin crust in one sitting. The atmosphere is very group/family-oriented, booths, lots of seating--appropriate for their large servings. My server was great. I had a long day and he knew to keep the liquor coming before I even asked. My cell phone battery had unexpectedly drained, and he was gracious enough to call a cab for me.

    Always good for Chicago Style pizza. Yes, it's a chain but most of the Chicago Style places are. I've always been happy with the food and the service here. In case you don't know, Chicago Style pizza is a pan pizza with the toppings upside down from a regular pizza: Crust then cheese, then, toppings, then sauce on the top. Delicious! Giordano's isn't only pizza. They have a lot of other good Italian food too. There are better Italian places but if you want some pasta and meatballs you'll do fine here. TIP: Call ahead to order your Chicago Style pizza. They take about 40 minutes to make! Giordano's will take your order and your pizza will be at your table in a reasonable time after you sit down.

  • Mary N.

    I grew up in Chicago and Giordano's was always the place to go for good stuffed pizza if you weren't downtown. My favorite is still the Stuffed Spinach pizza but be prepared for a wait - the stuffed pizza's take at least 30 minutes to prepare. While you are waiting, try one of the many appetizers. We were there a couple of weeks ago for my dad's funeral and ordered the Family Appetizer platter which was plenty for our group of 10.

  • Bill D.

    WOW!! I've just had the tastiest Chicago Style Stuffed Crust Pizza ever! The Chicago Classic is my fave but Pepperoni is also very good! The sauce is just right and the cheese strings out of your mouth so much goodness. The lobby was packed and we were warned of an hour and a half wait. But we stuck it out because of the reputation. We hadn't waited more than 15-20 minutes when seated. We ordered salads to start with so we wouldn't spoil our appetites. The salads were fantastic, fresh greens, nice homemade dressings and a thick slice of buttery Feta on top that was to die for! But the Pizza was the piece de resistance. Crispy crust on the edge but inside was piping hot sauce and ton's of cheese with toppings in between. As a side note the also ship out of town and we ordered some the next week. They partially cook the pies and wrap them securely before freezing them and packing with dry ice for shipping. They don't even charge for shipping!!! Three day FedEx in styrofoam. They were just as tasty cooked at home! They include detailed directions on how to prepare them too...

    An excellent choice for my last day in Chicago before heading back east! After finishing up work at Anime Central, we decided to have one last meal together and I'm happy we chose Giordano's. Walking distance from our hotels and the convention center, standard service; nothing horrible or amazing to say. Fairly attentive at least, although I did have to help myself to some new utensils when one of us needed a replacement. The food was absolutely delicious and well worth the wait. We of course ordered a classic deep dish with some apps and one or two more entree's. If memory serves, the pizza took about 45 min to cook and if you have the time, I suggest waiting. Delicious, flaky crust, cheese that goes for miles and just the right amount of sauce. Coming from New England and being used to a big, floppy NY pizza I can fold in half and eat by hand, it was a treat to have the waitress serve our completely stuffed, cheesy slices to us from the pizza... tier... thing at the center of the table. There's definitely an art to it! Can't wait to go back!

    Came here on the first day of a business trip upon the hotel concierge's recommendation. God bless her! Girodano's is the perfect introduction to Chicago deep dish pizza. My friend and I ordered the pepperoni deep dish with garlic bread to start. The garlic bread was crunchy and perfect with the delish marinara sauce it comes with. The pizza takes a hot minute to make (around 40 minutes), but it is well worth the wait. So cheesy, crunchy and just absolutely perfect. Next time I'm in Chicago, I'll definitely come here (and then Gino's to compare). Wish they had places like these in Miami!

    I love the stuffed crust, especially the day after. Mmmmmm. We were at a concert and got out L A T E. When we walked in, we felt kind of bad for the people still there. Let me tell you, our waitress was great and so was the food. We werent rushed, even though we were rushing. It was 12:20 on a Friday night. Fresh jalapenos in our pizza, wonderful. Thank you Giordanos.

  • Trekkie M.

    The deep dish pepperoni pizza was gross. The crust was doughy the sauce was lacking something and the cheese was off putting. I may give this place another chance to try a non deep dish pizza but we will see. Still not a fan of the ingredients but if you stop in I hope you like it.

  • Brandon M.

    Went there with friends from LA while in Chicago, and it is fantastic. The crust is a mix between a pot pie crust and pizza crust (just heavenly). We ordered the pepperoni, mushroom, and sausage pizza - it was fantastic. Be prepared that you won't be able to eat more than 2 slices though (it's just too big).

  • Kristin B.

    I ate at Giordano's two of the 4 nights I was in town, once on Thursday night with a group of 14, and returned Saturday evening with 3 friends. The deep dish was some of the best pizza I've ever eaten and JoAnn was an amazing waitress. Be prepared to wait for a table if you come after 6PM. The pizza takes about 45 minutes to cook so if you're starving have a salad or appetizers. Also, there's no bar, so if you're alone either carry-out, enjoy delivery, or be prepared to sit at a table by yourself. They sell frozen pizzas you can buy and fly home with. Frozen pizzas are good for 8 hours. Also, if staying at the Westin, you can easily walk to this location.

    I came to Chicago on a business trip and I always wanted to try the so famous deep dish pizza. The pizza took 45 minutes to arrive to the table, but it was definitely worth the waiting. The tastiest crust, the tastiest topping and the best sauce I've tasted in my whole 24 years of life. I took some with me when I came back to Texas.

    I was never one for deep dish pizza. But then I realized I never actually had deep dish pizza. This stuffed pizza, filled with whatever combination you desire, has a crispy crust on the outside and bottom. The sauce on top balances it all out. It's never soggy and actually, surprisingly, reheats well in the oven for a few minutes. We had the cheese bread which is pricey for what it is, a half loaf of bread, garlic spread and mozzerella. But it's DELISH, so choose your battles, eh? We also had the Italian chopped salad which was great. Good beer list, fun ambiance and good pizza. BE WARNED: it takes 45 minutes for the pizza to come out. And a SMALL is way too much food for even two people. Most tables were averaging one slice a person and a salad or appetizer. Highly recommend this for Chicago style pizza.

    Meh. We ate at the bar and were told there will be a fifty minute wait for pizza. My friend orders a thin crust pizza with jalapenos, pepperoni, and cheese. I order the Giordano's "Northside" Italian beef sandwich. They forget about my friend's pizza, so we wait forever for his food to arrive and I end up with a Italian beef stuffed pizza instead of a sandwich. New York thin crust is better than Chicago deep dish. Definitely skip this place next time and the rest of your yelpers won't have to wait as long for your pizza.

    Totally decent Chicago Style Pizza. The wait was predictable long - a little over an hour. People always get irate when they have to wait for their food, so they were giving the servers a bit of a hard time.... It came out fresh. Cheese was gooey as it should be. I found the crust a bit bland (floury tasting) and the sauce was very tart. I have had better Chicago Style Pizza - folks keep telling me to try the other famous chains.... I also had the Chicago Style salad. Meh..... Likely wouldn't return.

    Upon entering we were seated quickly, that was a plus considering the place was crowded but after we were seated they asked us to move because the place we were seated was better fit for 5 people and we are a group of three. The noise inside is waaaayy too much. People talking over people, music playing and so on. The waitstaff are disgruntled and the food is mediocre. Overall, it's not horrible. I probably wouldn't willing come here again, but if I were with a group that wanted to eat here I'd still join them.

    The crust was very soggy and the pizza box was full of moisture. I ate a single slice and threw away the rest. Not very good at all. I wish I had ordered from somewhere else. On the upside they did deliver to my hotel near the airport.

    This Giordano's was right next to my hotel and close to O'Hare. Parking is easy (huge lot right outside of it), and the eating areas inside and outside are extensive. My group was seated immediately on a Wednesday evening -- so far, so good. We got the special stuffed pizza which comes with sausage, mushrooms, green peppers & onions. Our waitress said it would be 45 minutes for the pizza to come out, and yep, it came out in just about 45 minutes. The pizza was good, but not great. The sauce is all on the top layer, almost making the pizza look like a pie with a cheese/tomato sauce crust. Perhaps I'm just not a fan of that? I think they do it so the bottom pizza crust doesn't get soggy. The pizza crust itself was pretty good -- I'm glad it wasn't too greasy, although the bottom still did get a little soggy. The toppings were pretty good, smothered in cheese in the middle of the pizza. However, given the deep-dish-ness of the pizza, I was really surprised, when about 20 minutes into our meal, we realized that the pizza had gotten cold. It wasn't particularly piping hot when it came out, but within 20 minutes it was like pizza that seemed like it had sat out much longer than 20 minutes. At that point, the pizza was room temperature, the cheese was no longer gooey and the crust seemed a little stale as well. So I'm a little confused at how that happened to a deep dish pizza. My boyfriend wasn't familiar with all the draft beers they had, and our waitress offered to have him try some until he found one he liked. I thought that was a nice gesture. I was expecting a lot of Giordano's, and it didn't quite live up to those expectations. Nevertheless, it was a good experience and I'm glad I got to try their pizza.

    We got some pizza from here before a recent flight out of O'Hare. I love deep dish pizza and was excited to have authentic Chicago deep dish. It was pretty underwhelming. The crust didn't have the buttery taste I associate with deep dish & the cheese wasn't fully melted and was clumpy (you could see the individual pieces of shredded cheese). It wasn't bad, but I've had much better deep dish elsewhere.

  • Susan R.

    I'm new to deep dish pizza, but this is my favorite!! The crust is half baked, a little gooey, love it! Our sausage, pepperoni and mushroom stuffed pizza was delicious! My husband says he slightly favors Papadel's, I disagree. Their crust is harder. This was the best!!

  • Tim M.

    Went in for some deep dish since a co-worker told me this place was amazing. Ordered some calamari and baked ravioli as an appetizer while the pizza was being made (the menu says it takes 45 minutes to bake). The calamari and ravioli were both ok. Probably could have skipped them. The pizza was really good and impossible to finish. I think I got through two slices on a small pizza. I would definitely go back just for the pizza alone. The server was also very quick on bringing refills and answering any questions we had.

    This is might second time here on visits to Chi-town. The first time I got the deep dish, which I am just not a fan of. I'm sure if you're into that kind of thing it's great, but I am just a NY style pizza girl through and through. The deep dish is like an entire block of cheese per slice, and super thick cornbread like crust, I just can't stomach it. So this time I went against all the advice and got the thin crust, loaded with veggies. It was absolutely delicious so glad I tried it. Comes with a ton of veggies and their famous delicious sauce. I also got a salad to start, the harvest salad, and it was great. The cocktails were also strong and delicious, the Italian surfer tasted like a creamsicle, so good.

    Great place for a pizza or Chicago beef sandwich. Lots of great pizza in Chicago and I lake them all. New thing here is the Northside beef sandwich. Great idea and was very good. Bartender was new and was working very hard. Did a great job and will be back for more next time I'm in the area.

    Came here for dinner on 9/5/15. Very small parking lot but they do offer complementary valet parking. Arrived a little after 6pm, they were busy but we got a table right away. The waiter was very friendly, informative, and quick to get our first round of drinks. The refills took a bit longer as the restaurant got a little more busier. We ordered a thin-crust and it out to us in about 20 minutes. Very hot and delicious! I'll recommend that if you want a deep dish, avoid the dinner rush or call ahead. Otherwise, you'll be waiting a bit if you want to dine in.

    I am a huge thin crust pizza lover and when I came here, I didn't think I was going to like deep dish pizza because of the thick crust but boy was I wrong! If you are by yourself or you don't want to share, make sure you order a "baby" size pizza. It's not on the menu but you can definitely order a personal pizza. Sauce was on point, just enough cheese, crust was crispy and the ingredients on the pie rounded it off perfectly. If you're in Chicago, you gotta try the Chicago Classic. I've also had the deep dish with lots of vegetables and it made the crust very soggy. I recommend to just keep basic. TIP: It was hard to get this place by foot. It's located on a highway. If Google Maps tells you that you can walk to this place, don't trust it. Was half way there before I realized I can't walk on a highway lol

    My friends and I came here when we visited Chicago because we wanted to try out some delicious deep dish pizza! We definitely were not disappointed. They were extremely busy because it was a Saturday night and it looked like there was a college formal/prom event happening so it took a really long time for us to get seated. The wait was kind of okay though because they let us order our food so it would be ready by the time we got seated. I think it was about half an hour wait before we got seated and it was still another half an hour until we got our pizza and breadsticks, but it was so worth the wait. The pizza was absolutely delicious; we got a pepperoni pizza. It was best served hot, though. Because there's so much cheese it kind of solidifies when it gets cold. The server was awesome, he let us take pictures of the pizza and even posed while he was dishing up our slices so we could capture the cheese in picture form. He was incredibly nice and funny, as well. My only complaint was how packed it was in the small building. It was hard to get through the tables and booths. Just a small complaint, though. We would definitely go back!

    I'd have to say. I think I found my new favorite pizza place . The pizza was not to salty, not to buttery. Just perfect. I will definitely be returning. And for our waiter Jason, excellent service, friendly and very welcoming. As well for being Spot on with the recommendation's. Might take you a while for the pizza to come out. As would any deep dish. So definitely order ahead if you do not want to wait 45 minutes. Only negative which is why I'm not giving five stars is due to the Root Beer. Which you always have to have with a pizza

    I'm originally from Virginia and we don't have a lot of deep dish places over there. Wanted to see what the hype was about. The lunch deal was really good. You get a personal pizza, a side (I got the parmesan fries), and a drink for 10 bucks. Not my favorite style of pizza but I really enjoyed the crust with some ranch. Everything tastes better with ranch. Get ready for food coma though.

    So on my whirlwind pizza tour my wife and I did while in Chicago this place ranked well. It's a solid chain pizza that is a consistent choice of you want deep dish. Prices aren't to bad for what you get and the service was ok not great not bad but ok. Bottom line good food and easy to find one since they are a chain. I recommend the meat pie deep dish.

  • Jeff N.

    Giordano's has fantastic deep dish. We got the special and I came hungry. I came hoping to put down 3 pieces, but sadly could only eat 2... Their crust is one of the best I've ever tasted for pizza, the sauce is delicious. It takes 45 mins after you order your pizza to receive it. I suggest you order the calamari while waiting. The calamari is good and to make it more fun they mix in some other things with it....beans, jalapeños and more.

    I wasn't happy that United Airlines sucked and caused us to miss our connection flight back to SFO, but had to look on the brightside. I always wanted to have Chicago style pizza in Chicago and here was my chance. My fiancé and I ordered pepperoni pizza with stuffed crust and had it delivered to our hotel room. The pizza was MASSIVE! We should have ordered a small since we had a lot left over. If I could have taken the leftover pizza with me on the plane, I would have. After our trip, a friend of mine mentioned that they can ship pizza as well. I looked and confirmed this on their website. This could be dangerous and I will pretend to not know that they can "Ship A Pizza." I will keep that in mind though when we are craving a Chicago style pizza pie!

    Lets say I am in love with there deep dish. You only need one slice and you will be full. The salad is really good also. The pizza is worth the wait. I see why they have so many of these restaurants in Chicago. When I come back to visit I will stop by and get my pizza fix.

  • Tiffany Y.

    The service here was comparable to the food, crap. We were seated right away, and also placed our orders right away. My friend and I both ordered the same $10 lunch special, which was choice of appetizer, drink, and an entree. We both ordered the soup and a personal pizza. The appetizers took forever to come out, I am generally a patient person, but this appetizer took at least 20 min. to come out, and our pizza took another 20 min, so we ended up waiting 40 min. for our food, I don't understand how our appetizers could take so freaking long to come out when they were barely warm. Our server was super inattentive and was more focused on other things, so much that we had to ask other servers to help us with our orders. This situation could have been saved if the pizza was good, but the pizza did not have a buttery rich crust, which I was really looking forward to trying. The pizza was also served lukewarm and the cheese was so thick it reminded me of string cheese. I could care less about service if the food was good, but I was so disappointed by the pizza that I will probably never come here again.

    I've only dined in once before last night. I generally order for pick up. It tastes better when you dine in. I really like the fact that you can preorder your pizza while waiting for a table so that it's ready shortly after being seated. More restaurants should offer that option. Our server was friendly and prompt. 1- stuffed spinach & garlic pizza (med)--soooooo good!!!!! Perfect balance of garlic, cheese, and spinach 1-thin crust sausage, green pepper and mushroom (med)--idk how it tastes, but I'm sure it was good 1- beef barley soup--tastes almost as good as homemade 1- bruschetta--missing something, but overall really yummy $70 *not including our drinks at the bar prior to ordering* That's a hefty price tag for pizza in my opinion, but it is REALLY good pizza.

    And the winner is...The Giordannos lunch special was delightful and perfectly sized . Arrived artfully arranged on the plate in less than five minutes! The service was excellent considering it was the peak lunch crowd. FYI, I had another pizza experience this week at LM, and Giordannos outclassed that experience. The sausage meat was excellent with great flavor and melted into the thick cheese. Also the crust was baked until tender and cut easily with my fork as opposed to hard and overbaked at LM's. As for the salad, the ingredients were worlds apart. The purple tomatoes were noticeable and draped under the strips of Parmesan cheese. As well the spring mix salad was appreciated given this is now spring in Chicagoland. Go away iceberg lettuce! Bottom of the pizza pie battles goes to LM while my long time favorite Giordannos rises to the peak of the pack!

    I'm going to come into this saying Giordano's is my favorite Chicago pizza place. Unfortunately, after the service I received during my recent visit, I am compelled to write a review. Our family (a party of three) came to eat lunch at Giordano's. We placed a pre-order for a medium stuffed pizza while we waited to be seated. After being seated, another member of my party ordered a beef sandwich. Everything was going well. Almost two hours later, and 25 pizzas passing through the restaurant but sadly not to our table, we began to feel we were being forgotten about. The waitress avoided our table. Just as I was about to go to the front counter to get the timestamp on when our pizza was supposed to have been entered into the system, our inattentive waitress showed up with a beef sandwich. She sets it down and gives us the news. "I'm so sorry," she says. "I kept going to check on your pizza and they hadn't made it. I kept going back and checking on it again but they never made it. I have to re-place the order for the pizza." WHAT? So you did nothing about our pizza for two hours ...and you expect the other person in my party to eat their sandwich alone while we wait ANOTHER HOUR for a NEW pizza? No thanks. So the manager comes over and tries to apologize. When we decide we just want to leave, he offers to get us sandwiches while we wait for the new pizza. No sir. We wanted a pizza, not sandwiches. Needless to say we got up and left.

    Although I am not a deep dish aficionado or true fan, the pizza here was just fine and in fact pretty good. I'm definitely much more of a New York style pizza with a thin yet foldable, not cracker, crust. Deep dish to me is just too much though/bread with a bunch of toppings on top and sometimes even stuffed inside. Having said all that, the pizza here is real good. Fun fact though, although everyone considers Chicago to be the Homo deep dish pizza it really isn't. Chicago is almost entirely known for very thin crust 911 and pizza. That would be more of a cracker crust. So just about everywhere in Chicago, locals no pizza to be rectangular shaped cracker crustand cut into squares. The whole deep dish thing happened downtown maybe 50 years ago and is not really considered by locals to be more of a tourist pizza then a true Chicago style pizza. TRUE Chicago pizza is very similar to St. Louis Pizza...this cracker thin crust. Anyway, as mentioned, the pizza here is real good and I definitely do enjoy having a nice deep dish pizza. I said at the bar and had a couple beers and a small pizza with one additional toppings.normally, I can pretty easily eat an extra large thin crust pizza by myself. In this case, I was only able to take care of all that one slice of a small.

    Pizza was very good. It took about 50 min for our pizza to come but the server warned us so no big deal. A great family place and the service was good. They will ship you a frozen pizza by the way.

    Was here with a group of chefs staying at the Marriott Suites and had to order out for delivery! Ordered in two large stuffed pies, one with pepperoni and the other sausage. They arrived in less than 40 minutes and upon opening we were delivered some incredible flavor, loaded with cheese! Excellent flavor, perfectly seasoned sauce, and cooked to perfection. First time trying the pizza and it was another item to cross off the bucket list. One of best pizzas I've ever had and by far the best stuffed crust pizza I've ever enjoyed!

  • Brian D.

    Mediocre service to sub-par as the service is hit or miss. Very impersonable and dodgy attention to detail. While placing my order it was very loud, although the waitress assured me she heard my order, or so I thought. Half my order came out and even after reassuring me that she would bring the other half out to go, decided to plate it and disappoint once more. Not at all impressed with service, but the pizza is decent, although filling. Mostly dough and cheese, but delicious. Might try again at a different location.

    The stuffed pizza is often not thoroughly cooked. That is a real turn off for me. If it were cooked completely it would be much better. The long wait is surely not worth undercooked deep dish pizza.

    I came here on two different occasions with big groups. First, they don't take reservations so you have to get yourself ready to wait or hope they're not so busy. The hostess I spoke with said they aren't normally busy so groups can get seated pretty quickly and we did find that to be the case. Secondly, I did come here on the off hours on a Saturday (2pm) so they did allow us to make a reservation. With our reservation we were able to pre-order our food so that our food was ready to eat when our whole party was complete. It was a really nice thing for them to do which gives them them the extra star. As far as food goes, their greek salad was good but not your typical greek salad you'd get at a greek restaurant. Their family size was a generous portion. Their ceasar salad is pretty standard, nothing amazing and nothing horrible. A-Ok. I did try both their deep dish and thin crust and I personally liked their thin crust a bit more. Their deep dish has LOTS of cheese (deep dish is known for their cheesiness but it was a bit more than I would have liked). I didn't care so much for the crust, it wasn't as flaky as I would have liked. I asked for my thin crust with light cheese and it was perfect. Their thin crust without the light cheese was again too cheesy. The two times I came I got a server that was really great and attentive and one that wasn't so much, definitely hit or miss.

    Looking at all the reviews I was very excited to go here on my last day in Chicago. The place was busy so I grabbed a high top next to the bar. I was with my 6 month year old and it was kind of difficult handling him at this table. Before I knew it the manger came over and offered me a booth just to make my life easier, I thank you for that!! I got the stuffed traditional which consist of pepperoni, mushrooms,onions, and peppers. My beer took about 15 minutes the pizza 20. The pizza was ok but nothing to brag about. Not alot of flavor at all.

  • Lily F.

    mmmmm yum yum! We actually got a large stuffed pizza delivered and it was pretty prompt (little more than an hour). When it arrived it was still hot although we still nuked it in the microwave just for a sec to get that awesome cheese string thing going. We got pepperoni and extra garlic. The garlic is fresh, not the stuff from the jar and it was very delicious. I almost ate two slices before we were stuffed. 4 stars because we didn't care for the cannoli too much. My Italian buddy looked like he wanted to cry when he ate it and all he did was shake his head while repeating, 'no, no, no.' It wasn't thaaat bad! It probably wasn't freshly made but came from a frozen bag or something. But the whole meal was memorable and I would definitely let them feed me in the future. :)

    Got delivery to Hyatt ohare. Thin crust sausage and hot peppers. Listen, I love any pizza, but for 47.00 tip included, it was not hot and Lou malnatis thin crust trumps theirs any day. It was a regular pizza. I should have had a slice at the convention center instead. This is not a review for their deep dish, which I do love.

  • Karen H.

    The 5 stars is basically to acknowledge the best stuffed pizza ever... this location in particular is very consistent --- I order from here all the time and the pizza order is always accurate and tastes out of this world... a must visit for the pizza, if for no other reason... I usually do take-out but on occasions where I've eaten in, the restaurant is fine, service is ok, never a problem for parking.

    Very good food. I got a small Chicago classic (which I think is suitable for 3 small women with big appetites). Delivery took over an hour though. Shrugs. I've never had an inverted pizza before, so it was definitely an interesting departure. Would recommend.

  • Tomo B.

    Ordered a pizza and salad for delivery and everything was good. The crust was flavorful and flaky and the toppings, sauce and cheese were all solid. I don't have a lot of experience with Chicago-style deep-dish so can't compare to others but I would definitely eat there again. Note that I ordered a Small deep-dish and could barely eat half of it. The Small size is defintely enough for two normal people.

    A year ago i once went to a drake concert in my home city back in England. It was the most pointless thing i ever experienced. That pretty much summed up my experience of this place and in general the over hyped sensation that is Chicago deep pan pizza. Having been to Chicago before and not trying out the pizza, i was slammed by foodie friends for missing out on it so i made a point of going to what was one of the most recommended spots. We order some sampler starters and considering there was around a 40 minute wait for the pizza itself, i would recommend ordering something to snack on. Not that the starters were great, reminded me of really bad pub food. My group ordered two large, one classic and one meat feast type pizza. When the pizza did arrive I was slightly amused at what looked like quiche covered in tomato sauce. Took the first slice and after the 2nd bite I looked around at the very large locals around me and it all started to make sense. Unimpressed, and not tasty at all. The pizza reminded me of microwaved pizza , the morning after and they were massively filling. Think i managed two slices. Sorry Chicago, this claim to fame was totally pointless.

    There being a shortage of good Italian food in LA, I decided I had to eat Italian while in Chicago for a short visit. At this place I didn't have time for a pasta meal or pizza, but I had a meatball sandwich and it turned out to be the best meatball sandwich I've ever had. It's called Mama's meatball sandwich. Whoever mana cooks like that I just wanna run out and buy her a TV for Christmas. Fugget about it.

    I've been to and through Chicago a number of times, and shame on me for never having tried real Chicago deep dish, let alone Giordano's stuffed pizzas. Bottom line they make an awesome stuffed pie. The Chicago classic is bursting with pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers & onions and painted with delicious melted mozzarella and their amazing marinara. Hungry yet? If you're a wayward traveler, look to Giordano's welcoming arms to comfort you; and when you leave remember that they ship to your door! Quick Tip: If you're dining solo they offer a 6" personal size pie which is not advertised on the menu. Slim chance you can take down a 10" pie yourself.

    $6 pints. $20 pizzas. All the ambiance of a TGI Fridays. Appetizer came after pizza. Beer lines taste dirty. Really really really boring flavorless pizza. Crust had no flavor. None. Like a low sodium saltine cracker. No more than two or three marble size pieces of sausage in the whole pie. There's better 'Chicago style' pizza at food carts in Oregon than this place. Two beers, one awful small pizza, and an order of appetizer fries came to over $40. This place is terrible. Why anyone would pay to ship this lackluster slab of boring across the country is beyond me.

    I question the taste of everyone who gave this pizza a good review. The crust was worse than a frozen pizza. I made a better pizza in high school home ec class. Seriously disappointed. I guess I prefer my toppings on top of my pizza. But really, aside from the cheese, this pizza was a fail all around. For reference, we got 'the special' - sausage, green onions, mushrooms, bell peppers. Someone couldn't pay me to eat this again.

    So far so good, eating their Caesar salad and the dressing is traditional, love it! When I finally have the pizza here one day I will update my review. Only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because the majority of their staff is texting in their personal cell phones in front of me. But they are all very nice.

    The calamari appetizer comes with some deep fried veggies as well as deep-fried lemon slices. There's lemon slices were very interesting. The calamari was excellent as well. My party ordered the stuffed meat and more meat pizza. I love Chicago style pizza and this place hit the spot. We couldn't finish the pie but gladly took the rest back to the hotel. This place did not disappoint, and I would suggest going here because the experience was great and the service was outstanding. I am going to try other pizza places around here just because.

    The food is always awesome. GUARANTEED. The service is another thing. Sometimes you get good service, the other times, meh. On the past couple of visits, the service has been great, this one though wasn't. Came in yesterday with my wife and a couple of friends. We were sat down, and our waitress (shorter older European lady) came to us and rudely asked what we wanted to drink. She did not introduce herself either. Mind that we've never been helped by her and we did not give her any reason for her to come at us like that. That threw us off, but we ordered our drinks and food right then and there. She came out with out drinks, and my wife asked her if they had the french onion soup, and she very strongly said that they never had french onion soup (however she ordered french onion soup at this location the last time we visited. She either truly didn't know, or she was lying her ass off). What was more of a turn off from a service perspective is that she would be extra friendly with a couple of tables behind us but we where getting the short end of the stick. Consistency is key. You may have great food, but if someone is giving not up to par service to your clientele, then that is more than enough reason to lose clientele. I advise to get your waitresses on the same page. You're a multi-billion dollar business. You shouldn't have issues like this. Get it together.

    Fourth time I have eaten at Giordano's, first time at their Rosemont location. Giordano's still doesn't disappoint, regardless of what location I eat at. Their specialty is their cheese stuffed deep dish pizza (they ship them frozen in dried ice anywhere), but the rest of their menu is Uber delish, too. No one seems able to finish the generous portions and all you see are people walking out with their containers of leftovers. Takes great the next day, too, even at room temperature. Full Italian fare. Those who order the stuffed crust deep dish are warned of the 45 minutes it takes to prepare it, no rushing quality, but it is well worth the wait. Here's a photo of just one slice of the SMALL stuffed crust deep dish (mine). See what I mean? Huge and oh so yummy. Open every day of the week. Always crowded; longest I have ever had to wait to be seated is 30 minutes. You can order your stuffed crust while waiting to be seated to cut down the total wait time. Has carry out in addition to dine in. A Chicagoland institution well worth trying at least once.

    When I'm in Chicago, I always head to Giordano's for their deep dish pizzas. Their buttery crust, layers of cheese, plump sausage with fresh onions, peppers and marinara sauce are what dreams are made of. Literally, when I return to Seattle, I will daydream about this pizza. I guess I'm fortunate that we don't have a Giordano's in Seattle or I'd be there all the time and be 10 pounds heavier each month. It's really that good. Now, don't come hungry and impatient. It will take a solid 40 minutes to get your deep dish pizza but it's so worth it!

    The food is really good especially for Chicago style pizza. However, the service is just fucking awful; it took us 15min to have a server at our table and took us another 20min to have a cheesy garlic bread.

    So so good! It's definitely better than Gino's in Rosemont. If you're looking for deep dish pizza in Rosemont, look no further. The toasted ravioli and bruschetta apps were fantastic too.

    Lives up to the hype of Chicago pizza. The deep dish pizza takes quite a while to bake (45 minutes), so be prepared to have a long dinner. This is a great place to relax, enjoy some appetizers, and unwind the day. The salads are also a good counterbalance to the heavy fork and knife based pizza which grows more and more delicious with every passing minute. The medium deep dish feeds 2-3 people!

    Giordano's will always play 2nd fiddle to Lou Malnati's in my mind. But its a good, welcome second fiddle. The pizza is very good. Where they really surpass Lou Maltnati's is there thin crust - its way better and they should really promote the hell out of it. This location is nice. I guess it is intended for the Rosemont/Convention/Airport crowd so it flips through people in a more cookie cutter fashion than other Giordano's. Its open, kinda crowded, and not laid out as cool as many of the others but its still good pizza

    We ordered some food to go after we landed at O'Hare. Don't bother with ordering on-line if you're in a hurry. They can accommodate a phone order much faster. We only waited 10 minutes for our order to be ready. I really enjoyed the Chicago beef sandwich baked into pizza dough. Be aware though that the peppers are spicy. Salad that you can get with it was very nice, too.

    This is THE best pizza I have ever had!! You cannot go wrong with this place! Get the stuffed pizza aka deep dish when you come here! The crust was perfect and flaky, while the rest of the pizza was filled with lots of cheese, meat, and the sauce on top! We also tried the chicken alfredo and the boneless buffalo wings which were top notch! Kudos to the team at Giordono's as their restaurant was extremely busy and no staff member looked flustered or overwhelmed. I received great service at the bar when I was waiting for my table to be ready. I will definitely be stopping back in here when I return back to Chicago!

    I left a poor review 2 weeks ago, when I logged into my yelp account this morning, I saw a personalized message from the general manager, apologizing for my poor experience and offering us $50 credit. I think as customers, all we are ever looking for is kindness and a great experience. I'm stunned that I received a personal message. Kudos to Erik, the GM who turned a bad customer service experience into a great one simply by using kind words. Wow:)

    Giordano's is my favorite Chicago style pizza place, hands down. I work nearby, so I try to resist the temptation to visit for lunch every day. It's hard to do. They have lunch specials which include a personal deep dish pizza, a side, and a drink for about $9. I usually order the pepperoni pizza and have their delicious minestrone soup as a starter. Ask for the soup with melted mozzarella and bread baked on it, which is perfect on a cold day. Last time, I ordered a medium pizza for 2 people. We had 2 slices each at lunch, and had 2 slices each to take back as leftovers. This pizza re-heats very well too. Do be aware that if you order a regular sized (not personal) pizza, it will take about 30 minutes to cook. If you're on a tight lunch schedule, they have some pre-made (and cooking) personal pizzas that don't take very long to come out. I think you can pick from cheese, sausage, pepperoni, and sometimes spinach pizzas for the personal sized ones. Finally, they recently re-did their outside patio and it's really pretty. There's a big pergola, lights, and even a fireplace. It kind of makes you forget you're on 2 busy roads. I've always had great service here too. Definitely a must visit place.

    Well it's been about 6 years since I had a deep dish pizza so figured why not. First, non food note, this place is right next to a gas station which is good to know, if you are flying out of Ohare and have a rental car that needs refueled. There was 2 of use and each got the house salad. It was great. Loved the lemon dressing and Asiago cheese. We split small veggie deep dish pizza. This comes with 6 slices. How anyone can eat more than 2 slices is amazing to me. I had not had deep dish in a while but remember the crust being a bit more of a corn meal texture. I could be way off on this, but this place has more of a thick dough crust. I did really like it. And love veggies so was happy it was packed full. The staff here was very friendly and overall we had a very nice lunch experience.

    We were a little overdressed lol... some friends and I came here on a Wednesday night after a long day at the convention center (for work) and we were ready to toss back some drinks and get wild. That was cut short when we realized it was all families... In any case, we sat down and had a very friendly waitress. The wine was cheap ($5) and there were lots of yummy menu options. We started with the calamari (delicious) and toasted ravioli (just ok). The deep dish looked like bowls of tomato soup and it has never appealed to me, so I went with thin crust. We got all the veggies we could order on that baby and boy was it delicious! And HUGE! With 5 people and 1 pizza we still had about 8 pieces left over (they cut it into small squares instead of an 8-slice pie). Would definitely return on my next visit to Rosemont!

  • Shakira C.

    Obsessed! You come in, you order, you enjoy the deliciousness of the hearty pizza to the point of being overly full, so you surrender to the few slices left, even offering it to your friend because the thought of eating more is too painful. The next day, you're wanting more pizza and wishing you never gave your slice away. You're back home fiending for more Giordano's. There has to be a trip for work that brings you back to Chicago! Found one. Got it! You're back enjoying this famous deep dish treat, again eating to the point of guilt. Lol. Ooh, an extra slice. You don't make the same mistake. Screw being generous, take the slice to go. Eat it the next day knowing you made the right decision. Get home, fiend for more. Must. Get. Back. To. Chicago. There has to be a trip for work that will take you back to Chicago. Found one! Got it! And the cycle continues. See you again soon!

    After a disappointing experience at Lou Manatis the night before, I was on a quest to find true authentic Chicago style deep dish pizza, and Giordano's did not disappoint! Starting with the huge portion of bruschetta that we got as a free appetizer which was absolutely delicious! But I was ready for the main attraction and it was heaven on a plate. The ingredients were fresh and plentiful. Each slice oozed with cheese and I was not mad at that. And the slices were huge. My friend and I shared a small pizza and each of us could only eat one slice. This by far was the best pizza in Chicago. I would highly recommend it to everyone.

    Had a great time at this location!! My boyfriend and I, our flight was cancelled, and had to spend an evening in Rosemont. The place was packed!!! We sat at the bar, and received really great service!! We packed our left overs to go, and carried them on the plane!!! The pizza was so good! Deep dish was like a pie, not just a pile of bread!! Amazing!!

    Weekend conference in Chicago means I MUST have some deep dish Chicago pizza! Luckily for us, there was a Giordano's and a Gino's East nearby. This Giordano's was walking distance from our hotel, so this is where our group of 8 found ourselves Sunday for lunch. We were told 20 minute wait, but seated within 5. Nice! That was the only nice thing about service, though. We waited a while to order our food. We were told 30-40 minutes for a deep dish pizza. Ok, no problem. Over 40 minutes later, we're still waiting with no reassurance that our food is coming out. Despite the waiting, I loved the food! Their deep dish is actually a "stuffed" pizza: crust, sauce, cheese, toppings, cheese, sauce. Served hot and fresh and cheesy. I'm glad I tried it, but I think I'm still a fan of an actual deep dish pizza, not a stuffed one. My quick bites of my friends' pastas were yummy too. Seems like you can't go wrong with anything you order here!

  • Paul R.

    I'm apparently not a fan of deep dish stuffed pizza. The crust was bland and overshadowed the many ingredients stuffed inside. Location is fairly convenient to the Sheraton O'Hare airport hotel and the inside of the restaurant is welcoming and clean. Waitresses are not the most pleasant and food was average. Did not care for the house salad either. Looks to be a popular place though. A lot of business people enjoying their meals. Just not a place for me.

  • Asenath N.

    I'm not a big fan of deep dish pizza, but decided to give it a try when my family was in town and they wanted to try it. I was very surprised on how much I like it. The pizza was seasoned very well, but a little too cheesy. One slice was enough to fill me. The reason they are getting a 3 star is for the supper slow service. It took almost 2 hours for us to get our pizza, that is ridiculous! They may need more help in the kitchen to get the pizzas out at a timely manner.

    Service alone is worth the trip. Get the deep dish if it's your 1st time. There is a 6' that's not on the menu if you're solo.

    They delivered right to my door at my hotel! It was hot and awesome!!! The cheese, pepperoni and meatball pizza was what I got! And it was delicious!!! Thanks for the great service! It was exactly delivered in an hour like they said and it was so worth it!

  • Jeff F.

    Now that I've been three separate times, I feel like that's an adequate time to write up a review. The Pizza: -Huge, dense, & ~3" thick (giggity) -a small stuffed yields about 2 meals -great flavor, but the crust is a little bland -in my opinion, overpriced (~$20 for a small pepperoni) The service: -2/3 times have been fair (other one was awful) -pizza takes at least 35 - 40 mins to cook -love the padio at this location in summer Overall, if you're visiting Chicago, give the stuffed crust (deep dish) a shot.

    Sure, it's a chain, but you know how chains get started? They start out by being so good that people demand more of them, and Giordano's warrants that demand, because this is some damn good deep dish pizza. Star 1: How was the service and atmosphere? As others have said, Giordano's staff are truly incredible. I walked in at 11:45PM on a friday and the place was absolutely packed. There are many places out there whose staff would turn cranky and mean when the clock was about to strike midnight, but Giordano's kept smiles on their faces and catered to my pairs every need. Seating is abundant and the location convenient. Star Granted. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? While I didn't take a picture, my 'small' deep dish pizza ran roughly $17 with tax. Small? This thing was huge, and could have easily served 3+. That's fair. Star Granted. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? Yum. So my duo opted to get classic pepperoni, and it was excellent. While there could have been some more pepps in the mix, the crust was flaky, the cheese consistent, the sauce seasoned, and the experience well above standard pizza. Excellent. Dual Stars Granted. Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could? Honestly I'm tempted to give this star here, but from what I'm hearing there's comparable deep dish elsewhere in the city. That being the case, I'm going to hold off, for now, but know that Giordano's is a solid option for some Chicago pie. No Star Granted.

    Giordanos! Not far from home which is great. There was bit of a wait to be seated and of course waited for the pizza. Stuffed takes a while, just like deep dish. The pizza was delicious. Definitely didnt regret coming here after experiencing Lou Malnatis. Both pizza are best in Chicago, I dont have a favorite. I will be back, hopefully soon!

    My boyfriend and I never had Deep Dish Pizza and this place was recommended as being the best. We were told prior to going and while there that a deep dish would take 45 minutes to make. We got a drink at the bar, were seated, and still wound up waiting about an hour and 15 minutes. Although our waitress was friendly, she was not attentive. We got an appetizer (parmesan garlic fries) which took a while to be brought out. I ordered a beer once we got the pizza and waited 20 minutes before cancelling it and asking for the check. The waitress still put the cancelled beer on the bill so we had to wait even longer while she took that off. Overall experience was not great. The pizza was good and they had a good selection of beers but the service ruined it.

    Stuck in Chicago overnight and decided to make the best of a bad situation. The restaurant was close by the hotel so I gave it a try. Sat at the bar on a very busy Friday night and was greeted and served right away. The bartenders were friendly and attentive. Ordered a small pepperoni deep dish and got it in about 35 mins (I was told about the wait beforehand and understood because of how busy they were). It was well worth the wait! The pizza was amazing! Hopefully I get stuck here again so I can get more pizza. 5 stars for this place!

  • Fishstick Y.

    This was my first Chicago deep dish experience. Just the 2 of us, so we got a small - no appetizers. The bartender who helped us was a solid guy and understood our order, which was not difficult. Chicago special, add sausage, no onions/pepers on one half and to that side replace with spinach and fresh garlic. The bartender even correctly relayed to the kictchen but when It came out with no onions/peppers in any of the pizza. There are a few bad reviewes about this place and maybe the kitchen staff has an issue....IDK? Food was good, but let's face it when you don't get what you want you are always a little disappointed...the mgr removed the pizza off the bill (without us asking) and I gave the bartender a $18 tip (almost 50%) cause I'm sure he felt bad. I had a couple beers and my gf a couple glasses of wine and we ordered one for my gf's friends, which they said was good. On the way out of town, we got a couple of frozen pizzas to bring home, and I really like that they offer that service. I'll eat at Giordano's again but maybe try a different location.

    THE WORST!!! I've tried multiple times to have group events here and I always have to go with my plan b. They are never willing to work with you to accommodate your party. They don't take reservations despite what the site says and they do not allow you to call ahead to order a pizza that takes 45 MINUTES to make.

This was a nice breath of fresh air from the nearby entertainment district, I felt like I was having a true Chicago experience.

    not sure if ive ever been to this location before but it was on the way to the airport so my friends and i decided to eat here before droppin her off. there were 3 of us & we ordered a stuffed half sausage & green peppers & onions pizza. they said it would take about 35 minutes and they were about right with the time. the pizza was delicious and very cheesy. i always love a pizza with a lot of sauce & cheese so this was spot on! our waitress was nice but not memorable. the place got really busy after 6 so we were glad we got in early. people were waitin to be seated after we left so this place gets busy even on a random thursday evenin.

    I purchased a large meat,meat, and more meat pizza for my family of four and it was the best pizza I've ever had. A large was more than enough food. It takes about 40 minutes for the pizza to come but they allow you to order while waiting for a table which is very helpful.

  • Joan P.

    My mouth was watering when the pizza came, and it definitely tasted good. However, the cheese was about an inch thick and the sauce was too sparse for my taste. I had a heavy feel in my stomach the rest of the day, which I am guessing was because of eating under-cooked dough, which is all-too-common with deep dish pizzas. We had the tiramisu for dessert, and it was just about the best I'd ever had.

  • Rocky B.

    My top 3 favorite pizza places are Lou malnatis, Gino's east, and Giovanni's. The thin crust at Giovanni's isn't so thin but they still have really good pizza. The s'mores pizza was ok. I wish there were burnt marshmallows but that's my preference.

  • John W.

    When I tell people about Chicago pizza, I tell them about Giordano's. Ask anyone from HERE what their favorite pizza is, and they'll definitely have an answer. Why Giordano's? Why not Lou's or Gino's? Lou's crust is too yeasty for my taste, Gino's toppings too heavy. Again my opinions of the food. Why Giordano's? Because of that deep dish stuffed crust pizza. That crust is why Giordano's and if you're a fan of pizza, once you have that crust...you will know. Their hand tossed regular crust pizza isn't bad either, but it's not why you go to Giordano's. I'm john wildes from Chicago, and I approve this message ;)

  • Kenny C.

    Their deep dish pizza is hands down the best pizza that I have ever had! Very fresh ingredients as well, just over all an amazing experience. The service was also good. We got a table in front of the kitchen, and there's a window that let's you see inside and it was pretty cool to see how they made all the pizzas. The only downside is that their pizza is so bomb that there's usually a long line/wait. But even then, it's completely worth it.

    We went here with about 155 people and they had been expecting 75. They were able to accommodate everyone and provided good service with very little staff. As a gluten free vegan, the menu options were very limited. They were able to make me a Greek salad without the feta, as well as a gluten free pasta with Mariana sauce and mixed veggies: broccoli, mushrooms, peppers and onions. Both were delicious

Might be shipping one out to Colorado here soon. :) Best, -Franklin

    I knew I was going to Pequod the next day so I went here to get a reference point of "real" Chicago deep dish. I ordered the small Chicago style stuffed pizza. First off, staff is great; no complaints there. The pie arrived and while the sauce was not bad and the cheese was good; the crust was horrible. It was hard as a rock. Like hard tack biscuits. I didn't eat the crust at all. Sorry, will not be back.

    I was so excited for stuffed crust pizza and it was such a disappointment. There was hardly any cheese in it. The server had no personality and never saw her smile once. After bringing the pizza she proceeded to TOUCH the pieces as she placed them on plates. If I could give no stars I would.

  • Kaci F.

    This was my first experience with a Chicago deep dish pizza. The food was DELICOUS! The wait, and the attitude of the very annoyed looking staff bumped my stars down because the food itself was 5 star delicious. The serving sizes are off on the menu. My friend and I were going to share a medium pizza (our table ended up sharing 3 mediums between 6 people). We had a gluten free pizza (those are thin crust) and two deep dishes. One had meatballs + fresh garlic and the other had...some meat (pepperoni?) with pickled gardenia---which was my favorite, but a bit too spicy for a couple in our party.We had so much pizza left over! Seriously, each slice is like 2 pounds. A small CAN feed 3 normal sized people. I can't even begin to describe how yummy the pizza was and I'm not really a deep dish, sauce loving kind of girl. I'm not sure about the price because to my surprise someone in our party picked up the tab unexpectedly (thanks Kerry!). The dining room was perfect for a pizza joint, casual and fun. The bar serves beer by the pitcher, which was economical. So about the star reduction... my friend tried to call ahead to make a reservation, but we kept getting a busy signal, despite multiple attempts to call back-never got a person to answer the phone. The hostess had a very unfriendly look on her face and less than politely let us know there'd be at least a 45 minute wait. Pretty sure we waited more than an hour and had to advocate more than once to remember to seat our party. There isn't much of a waiting area/lobby for all of these unseated future patrons, so the waitresses are always having to split through people with piping hot pizzas looking less than thrilled that they have to navigate through people to who are hoping to be potential tippers. On several occasions one of my light weighted friends was bumped into and she takes great offense to being physically jostled by restaurant staff so she pointed it out to me each time, which is probably why I noticed and it heavily influenced my review. Once we were seated however, our server was perfectly kind and no complaints about anything once we were seated and began to get our grub on. So if you want to try deep dish Chicago pizza, they won't let you down. I'd just recommend going when either you have a reservation (if you can get someone to answer the phone) or going for a time other than 8 pm dinner on a Wednesday night.

  • Lucas R.

    Giordano's is a solid choice for pizza, wings etc. in the area that won't let you down. It's along the same lines as Lou Malnati's- although I think the pizza is a bit better at Lou's (seems to me to be more flavorful), this is still very good authentic Chicago-style deep dish (I'm referring to their "stuffed" option, I got sausage and onion). Keep in mind that this pizza is an absolute commitment. Like another reviewer mentioned, there as an enormous chunk of cheese on each slice, and lots of sauce. For mine, the portions of onions and sausage were huge. I couldn't make my way through any more pizza after eating 2 out of the 6 slices...of the "small" pizza size. This place is an incredible bang for your buck. They also offer a thin crust and extra thin crust pizza for the light of heart. The buffalo wings were cooked perfectly, and instead of a thicker, sweeter and messier buffalo sauce there was a thin coating of a lighter style glaze, which was absolutely delicious. I wouldn't call this #1 pizza spot in town, but it is definitely above average. The portion sizes however make up in a few for the slight inferiority the pizza has to traditional favorites like Lou Malnati's or Pequod's, and the wings were great too. Delivery was for the most part timely and they're open until around 12pm on weekends, which makes it great late at night when some other places are closed.I'd suggest this place if you're a fan of the classic Chicago pizza parlors. and want to try something different.

    Anticipation to try this place has been building up for at least two weeks, and usually I end up disappointed in some way when the day finally comes. Thank goodness this was an unusual experience! In a good way, that is! The cheese sticks appetizer - pretty good - nothing special about them. I was hungry so they hit the spot! I enjoyed the flavor of the pizza sauce...tasted like only fresh ingredients were used. My Mamma Mia had the Chicken Milanese sandwich with Parmesan fries and she was so sweet to let me taste a corner. First, I love ciabatta bread so they had a good head start on winning me over. Her food had been sitting for a few minutes due to the full restaurant (packed with post-show fitness competitors like myself!) and the 45-minute cook time for my deep dish. I asked them to bring hers out without waiting for mine and they happily obliged. Now to the main event. Stuffed deep dish. Stuffed deep with toppings. {{Stuffed}}. It was absolutely everything I'd hoped it would be (sounds like I have a love affair with pizza, but I'll never tell). I got 1/2 pepperoni, chicken sausage, black olives and 1/2 pepper, mushrooms and green peppers. This was my first deep dish and I picked the right place to give it a try! The sad thing is I only got to eat one slice (pepperoni, chicken sausage and black olives - so good!) because I'd already eaten cheesy bread among other small indulgences. But that just gives me something to look forward to tomorrow! And I do. Oh, I do...

    We got the all meat deep dish. It was ok. Parents got cheese deep dish. Not very good. This pizza absolutely needs toppings. It takes 45 minutes to get the pizza after you order. Nothing was bad about this place but nothing to make me want to go back either. I have had better deep dish.

    You can't go to Chicago without getting deep dish pizza! I came here because I was in the area for a conference (only 15 minute walk from the hotel!). We ordered the super veggie which was loaded with mushrooms, green peppers, onions, broccoli, artichokes, spinach, and way more olives than I expected. The veggies were even intertwined in the crust! As standard for stuffed pizzas, it took about 45 minutes before we got our pizza. Thankfully they have reasonably priced side salads that you can order while you wait, and of course, beer! Though you'll likely have to flag down your waiter; ours had a little bit of an attitude. Unfortunately by the time my pizza came the experience did not quite live up to the hype. My taste buds were hoping for fresh, hot, steaming pizza but it came to us semi warm and parts of the crust were burned. This wasn't what I remembered when I had Lou Malnatis in the past...a happy explosion in my mouth! Nonetheless, pizza was still good and my experience in Chicago would be remiss without it. I also ended up getting take out delivery one night because it was basically monsooning outside. I heard that Giordanos would deliver right to my hotel room so I was psyched. However, I ended up having to meet the delivery guy by the front of the hotel. Understandable though given how many others were also waiting for their orders at my hotel! This time I had the chicken parm and cheesy garlic bread. Loved the garlic bread but the chicken parm ratio of pasta to chicken was like 3:1. For a price of $12 I expected a bigger piece of chicken. Rating is more of 3.5 stars because come on, they have deep dish!!

    Best Pizza in the world!!! One warning!! Watch out for the red light traffic camera on the intersection. The criminal enterprise known as the Rosemont Police Department put up a "no turn on the red" sign that you will never see and then send $100 "violations" to every car...thousands a day! The car ahead of me and behind me turned on the red just like I did...$300 in 5 seconds...crime like this against the citizens is UNCONSTITUTIONAL where I live.

    Had a pizza delivered to my hotel room. Very tasty, but for the love of God, you better have a knife on hand. Slices were barely cut at all -- nothing like tearing a piping hot pizza pie to shreds with your bare hands. Hunger makes you desperate, I guess.

    Chicago deep Dish awesome experience, ordered a Half/Half super veggie and Bbq Bacon Chicken + some parmesan fries. The order took a really long time around 55 min to reach the table. Now about the food - It was good but not very tasty though the layering of ingredients were perfect with ample amount of veggie, cheese and chicken somewhere they lacked that basic "Taste" quotient. It was not mesmerizing enough to make you take bite after bite without thinking u know what I mean. Parmesan fries were really good and tasty comes with Ranch on the side. Overall a good experience and Warning for first timers is : the interior of the pizza can be as hot as a volcano so take small calculated bites.

    This is the first time I've ever had true deep dish Chicago style pizza...and I am smitten! Even the small...an oxymoron by anyone's standards, was huge. The small will feed two starving people. I know, cuz we were. Accent on the were, cuz now we are just two big, fat happy ticks with a to go box! We got the "Meat and more", and boy am I glad I did. They put all the meat on top of the pizza, so it's crispy, crunchy, salty delicious! And someone please explain the physics of how they make a 3 inch deep pizza, moist and juicy in the middle, yet,perfectly crispy meat, and a crunchy crust? A conundrum ...But, they defy physics. Call ahead for this bad boy, because it takes about 35 minutes to create perfection. They do have other food...but, frankly who cares? That pizza will haunt me in my dreams...dreams wet from slobber! So, in closing, all I can say is...Road Trip! They are located very close to an enormous rose water tower, for those of you, like me who are directionally challenged. Or ya could just follow that heavenly fragrance wafting through the Rosemont air. No matter how you get there...just get there!

    The pizza is very good -- but the room temperature is truly RIDICULOUS!! This restaurant is so insanely cold that you honestly cannot enjoy your meal fully. I think most people enjoy a comfortable atmosphere - but ac overload is really unnecessary!! And it wasn't just me -- people at the next table were sitting in their north face jackets and with their hoods on - at the booth to our left a young girl was shivering!! I asked the manager if he could raise the temp - he said he'll see what he can do - basically nothing cuz the cold air kept blaring from the vents! GEEZ!!! Is it really needed to keep it at meat locker temps when it is 70 degrees outside???? If you do go I highly suggest asking to be seated on the outdoor patio -- unless you want icicles hanging off your body by the end of the meal!

    This restaurant is very casual, so I was surprised to see a group of women holding a bridal shower here. They must have really loved the food. I visited with some coworkers. The food was decent. The salad was tasty. The pizza was thick and gigantic. Their website says, "Our stuffed pies are 40% bigger than our top competitors' deep-dish pizzas!" I am not from Chicago, so I was happy to have had this experience. The desserts and sangria were OK.

    When i called in they said they were out of pepperoni and i said thats fine can i get salami instead - their reply was ok no problem we have that in So pizza arrives 2 hours later and no salami. I check my receipt and salami is written on the order then crossed off What a ripoff

    I've been to the iconic deep dish pizza places like Gino's etc., which was great, but Giordanos was an experience all it's own. Deep dish was spectacular, service was great and even when it's crowded, they allow you to preorder while you wait! I wish I was able to give this place more than just 5 stars!

    RACIST RACIST RACIST. I am writing this review weeks after the incident, so please believe that any knee-jerk emotions have passed. I called the Rosemont Giordano's location to inquire about having my wedding rehearsal dinner there this coming June. We thought this would be a great way to introduce our family and friends to Chicago! The woman on the phone said that while they don't have a private room that could hold us, they would be happy to accommodate us in a sectioned off area towards the back of the restaurant. This was just fine, so she took my information down and wrote a tentative reservation in my name for our date. My fiancé and I decided to stop in prior to our wedding menu tasting at the Loew's hotel (right up the street) to see what the restaurant and section looked like. Mind you, I am an African American woman and my fiancé is an African American man. The hostess (middle aged brunette Caucasian woman) greeted us, and when we informed her that we were scoping the place out for our wedding rehearsal dinner, she goes to the back to speak with the manager, or catering manager (not sure his name or title). She comes back and tells us, "Sorry, he says he can't accommodate you." I proceed to tell her that just a couple of days prior, I had spoken to someone on the phone who documented my reservation and said it would be no problem. She then tells me there's nothing she can do-- the man (whoever he is) said he can't accommodate us. So naturally my fiancé and I ask to speak to this man who was sneaking looks at us from his plain-view office right behind the hostess stand. Out walks an extremely heavy set Caucasian man, who says nothing but a VERY rude and blatant "No, we can't accommodate your group." and proceeds to walk away. I stop him and explain that we had already been told by someone on the phone that they could in fact take our reservation, to which he said "No. We can't take a reservation that time of year, too busy of a season." and continues to walk away. Needless to say, I had a Caucasian girlfriend of mine call the restaurant about two weeks later to make a reservation for a "birthday party" on the same day with the same number of people, and guess what? They were more than happy to take her reservation. To add insult to injury, I sent an email to Giordano's corporate over two weeks ago, documenting my experience and my dissatisfaction, and I have yet to hear ANYTHING back. I find it disgusting and outright ridiculous that a restaurant that I grew up on (I am born and raised in Chicago) has left such a terrible taste in my mouth now. I have spoken with the Sales and Catering Manager of our wedding hotel, as well as my wedding planner and they have both assured me that they will be sending all wedding and hotel guests in that area to Gino's East Pizzeria (just a few blocks away) instead of Giordano's from now on. I suppose that is the only shred of a positive outcome--knowing that this particular location will suffer reduced sales as a result of their blatant racism and disrespect. At the very least I truly hope they fire that bigot of a manager (or whatever his title is).

    After an underwhelming experience at Lou Malnati's, Giordano's saved the day...er, weekend trip to Chicago! We got the Chicago Classic (pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers, and onions) and it was the best deep dish I've ever had. All the ingredients were layered perfectly along with the 2cm thick layer of cheese. Tomatoes were juicy, but not runny. The crust was heavy, thick and buttery. Words cannot explain how amazing it was. A medium pie will be approximately $27, serve 6 (although it says it'll serve 3-4), and weigh about 5-6 pounds. Whoa baby. Tip: Always, always, always call ahead. Each pie takes 45min-1 hour to bake! Tip #2: Make sure to take one home with you!! It's TSA friendly (except when 5+ members threaten to confiscate it from you)!

    I was there last week during a convention, and I recommended my colleagues get Giordano's Pizza because I felt it was the best in the world, not just Chicago. I used to live in Chicago, so I love my pizza. I've had the pizza before, but this time made me feel right at home. The pizza had excellent flavor, and the crust was done right. I loved the fact that my entire group was seated in the patio. The wait time lasted more than an hour because of the event, so there were really no complaints about it from me. The pizza made it worth the wait. My entire group loved the pizza, and would go back if we return to Chicago!

    This was mine and my fiancés first time in Chicago and first Chicago authentic deep dish pizza experience! It was fun and exciting to try Chicago pizza, as pizza is a favorite of ours. It was good but nothing out of this world. It was incredibly heavy; so much crust but that is what we signed up for! My favorite part of the pizza was their cheese; I could tell it was of very good quality. Thank god we read how many are served by a stuffed deep dish. A small was plenty for 2 people. We actually went 2 days in a row, shhh! The first time we got the fresh garlic on top, I LOVE garlic but it was way too much, it overpowered the rest of the pizza. Overall the pizza was pretty good but I think the fun experience helped it taste even better!

    I recently dined at this Giordano's location during my first vacation in the Chicago region. I'm impressed with the service my party received here. All the staff that we've encountered was friendly and our waiter was very attentive to our needs. We didn't have to ask for refills on our drinks because he would bring the refills to us when he saw that they were running low. As for the food, the calamari appetizer we ordered was perfect! I'm thankful that they didn't over cook it, so it wasn't chewy at all. We also had the Meat & More Meat stuffed pizza, which was ridiculously delicious! I've had stuffed pizzas in Los Angeles and Las Vegas in the past, but they were nothing compared to the stuffed pizza they have here! I'm giving this place 5 out of 5 stars because of the excellent service and the scrumptious food! I seriously cannot wait to go back to Chicago so I can dine here again.

  • Stephen S.

    Outstanding! Prompt, attentive service by our server/bartender, Tom. Very helpful with local information as well, I might add. Pleasantly surprising calamari mix! Loved the fried lemon slices!Great match! Also loved the other fried beans and such! Still a large serving of Calamari too! The Deep Dish Pizza is just spectacular! I am from AL, and there is simply too few pizza places with Chicago Deep Dish. So, I try them when I travel. This is my favorite, now! It is worth the wait (as all good pizza establishments make them fresh!) So, order a brew, and an appetizer, and relax, and ENJOY! This place ROCKS!

    Since I got yelled at the last time I got pizza in the Chicagoland area, and I got Pizza Hut, I felt I should do myself one better and try a Chicago institution and stop at Giordano's. To sum up my review in one word, I'd say disappointed. I felt lucky that we showed up around 5pm and didn't have a wait at all on a Saturday night. We were sat right away and waited a bit for our server to come around. It was busy, but not packed, so it was a little weird that service took so long for our waitress to even acknowledge us. As we were waiting, it started raining outside so all 6 tvs that were showing World Cup games froze due to satellite outages. Then, a weird buzz/emergency sound came from the tvs and a guy who I'm assuming was the manager ran through the lobby and said that it wasn't a weather related alarm or anything and nobody should worry (which I don't think any people were) but then I immediately got a text alert that there was a flash flood warning in the area so it's quite obvious it WAS an emergency alert, but anyways. I knew it was going to take awhile for the pizza, and that was totally understandable, but when it came, I wasn't impressed at all. i'm sure back in the day there was some personality put into the pizzas they made here, but this pizza seemed about as fake as a little ceaser's pizza in all honesty. Didn't seem handmade at all, it's like they pulled it out of the freezer, threw in in the oven, and brought it to our table. The crust wasn't nearly as good as the crust at Lou Malnati's.....it was pretty bland and uneatable. I was hoping for an amazing pizza (especially for 20 bucks for a small pizza) but was left with a bland taste in my mouth.

    So this was like my 5th or 6th time in Chicago and I had yet to experience it's famed pizza (or Chicago Dog but that's another review). We were told it was about a 45 minute wait for a table so we put in our name and placed our pizza order (sausage & onion stuffed style) so we wouldn't have to wait so long for once we got our table. It took about 30 minutes for a table to come up but the place was packed and perfect for people watching. Once seated, I ordered a Green Line Pale and a house salad. The salad wasn't your typical iceberg topped with a few bland cherry toms, mediocre shredded mozz and dripping wet pepperoncini drowned in zesty Italian. No sir! This salad was made up of spring greens, radicchio, romaine & arugula with baby heirloom tomatoes & fresh fennel then tossed in a bright lemon vinaigrette and finished with shaved asiago. Just as we were polishing off our salads the pizza came out - I was so excited! The waitress served us our piping hot slices and even indulged us in "posing the pizza & slice" for a pic! With my first bite, I finally understood what people meant when they'd say "BJs isn't Chicago style pizza". I guess because BJs calls it "deep dish", people just think "Chicago" but the pizza here...oh-ho-ho! It was unlike any "thick crust" pizza I'd ever had; the meat to sauce to cheese ratio was perfect and the crust...oh how did they do it?!?! It wasn't all doughy or spongy or bland; it was crispy and buttery and flaky but not dry or hard. I still dream of this pizza. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE a nice thin crust pizza (review on that coming up too) but this pizza is a testament to ooey, gooey perfection. We ended the meal with the 3 mini cannolis but the ricotta cream filling was a little too pudding-y in taste and texture for me. I should have just had one more slice of pizza :/

    Our hotel concierge recommended this place and glad she did. Arrived around 5pm for an early dinner on a Thursday and we were seated right away. We were a party of 4 (3 adults 1 Child) and ordered the Large deep dish pizza, which was like No other pizza we ever imagined. Chicago does it big here with pizza. Visiting from NY, we were so shocked. We only ate 1 or 2 slices each before getting full. If having appetizers before hand with this group size. A medium pizza would suffice. For appetizers we had the bone-in buffalo wings-just the way I liked it (similar to dominos), and we checked in and subscribed to their newsletter and got the free garlic bread. UH-MAZING! Sign up to their mailing list and you get to choose one of two free appetizers. It's worth it! The sodas we ordered were flat and when telling the waitress, she replied "that's how it's supposed to be." Since when is soda supposed to be flat????? That downgraded to a 4 star for me. They also have a nice outside area with a warming fireplace to eat if you like that. Overall great food!

    Deep dish sausage = 96.5% cheese 2% bread 1% sauce .5% sausage. 98% not flavorful at all. Way too much cheese very little meat. Very disappointing. Lou's is much better or even Gino's. The crust is also terrible here.

    If you're staying at any of the hotels in rosemont, DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE. I was told there was a 1.5 hour wait, which I was fine with. I told them that I was fine with the wait and that the pizza show up a bit later but at a specific time. The order time rolls by and nothing. Several calls and assurances that the pizza was on the way already, it's been an hour since the order time. I call again only for them to dismiss the issue as it being a busy night. After several calls and another hour goes by, the pizza finally shows up cold and terrible. We ended up waiting 3.5 hours for a pizza that was supposed to take 1.5, and it was the worst pizza I've ever had once it got here. Order from literally any other pizza place if you're staying in one of the hotels.

    After coming to Chicago for the 9th time in my life I can tell you that I have not tasted something as delicious as Giordano's Deep Dish Pizza. It just melts on your mouth and you can feel those flavors locked in. The second time I visited, I tried the Ravioli with Meat Sauce and I wanted to take more of that home (Miami that is). Both times, not only the food was tasty but also the server was very attentive to my needs (Tom made me feel just like if I had been there all my life)

    I wish i could give 0 stars for their service. I love their dip dish pizza. I went there tonight waited close to 2 hrs then they told us oven was broke. The manager named Alex had terrible customer service skills. He never apologized and was rude. They kept stalling us, 20 more minutes for about 3-4 times. Very disappointed in their service. Will never step foot there again

    **3.5 Stars** Food takes a while and service can be on the slower side. We came on a Monday right after it opened and there were plenty of seats. We ordered the Special Deep Dish, which took about 35 minutes to come out... I guess deep dishes just take a while to bake in the oven! I'm not an expert on pizza and this was my first time eating a deep dish, but the bottom was crispy and it's very filling. There was only 2 waitresses working so I guess that was why service was slow...

  • Lena R.

    For its food, I'd say this place deserved at least 4 stars; however, because of the slow service I could only give them a 3. I understand that they are busy, but shouldn't you still come by the table to apologize or briefly stop at the table to see if anything further is needed? I won't lie, our table ordered caesar salad, bbq wings, mozza sticks, & a Chicago Classic Deep Dish & yes everything was good but the food isn't the thing that brings people back time and time again--customer service does.

    Do you want to experience excellent deep dish Chicago pizza? Then this place is your golden ticket! We showed up without a reservation and had to wait 45 minutes to be seated, but it was all good when the bar is close by! =o) The restaurant has a fun and inviting atmosphere upon entering; the staff however were not as inviting. i am not sure if they were just having a crazy busy evening and not realizing how short and kind of rude they were being to the people waiting to be seated. Still leaves a bad feeling as you are waiting around. Once we were seated, we instantly were ready to order. A big heads up...If you are ordering a deep dish pizza you have to account that it will take 45 minutes to cook. So, we will now have been there for another 45 min after we waited 45 minutes to be seated. Good thing there was still pitchers of beer and the world series was on! Go GIANTS! We ordered a family salad to share and 3 medium pizzas for a table of 6, which by the way is waaaaayyyyy to much food for how thick these deep dish pizzas are. You can order pizzas that are specialty pizzas or create your own. We created our own pizzas and ordered two deep dish pizzas, one had meatballs and garlic the other with jalapeños and gardenia. The jalapeños were so spicy my lips were burning, but it was good. The meatballs were incredible in the pizza considering I was not too sure on how I felt about full-sized meatballs baked in a pizza. We also got a gluten free pizza which I honestly do not know came on it because I only made it through the two pieces of the deep dish and that was a feat in and of itself! We had some serious pizza left over that we could have probably feed 2 to 3 other people!

    A friend recommended eating here while we were on our day trip to Chicago. I'm normally a thin crust pizza kind of person, but decided to try the stuffed deep dish. I have to say I'm impressed! This pizza was delicious! I especially appreciated that it wasn't swimming in sauce! (I've had Chicago pizza once before and hated how much sauce was on it.) The only complaint i have is that our waitress was really slow. The next time we're in town, I could see us eating here again!

    Giordano's in Rosemont has a nice dining area and patio. Unfortunately, they fail to clarify in their menu that when ordering pizza, the spinach option comes with cheese. The first time we went there we were unaware of this. As a individual who suffers from extreme lactose intolerance this is very important. The manager was very nice and made us a new pizza and didn't charge us for it. Our second visit went without a hitch. Our third visit was an epic fail. We ordered two pizzas, one pizza with cheese only and one pizza NO cheese, green peppers, mushrooms, onions and broccoli. We waited 45 minutes for the pizza to arrive at the table. We had to return the pizza with the veggies because they put cheese. When ordering we specified that we did not want any cheese on the second pizza. They took this pizza back and promised to make another pizza with no cheese. They stated that this one would be reAdy faster because it had no cheese. Another 40 minutes go by and two people from our group had not eAten yet. We asked for our bill because we were just frustrated and hungry. The new pizza was no where in sight. We asked to have that pizza removed from our bill. Our server comes back with a pizza in a box and he stated that there would be no charge for the error. We get home and find out that the pizza, a stuffed/deep dish , the dough placed on the top was not fully cooked. Really? How many cooks does it take to get a pizza made right? I know the "no charge for the pizza" is to make up for their error; however, that is not the point. Get your stuff together and make the pizza righ the first time around. I ended up going home and making myself a hummus sandwich with pickles instead. I'm not going to eat pizza with half cooked dough. I'm definitely never stepping foot in there again. Huge disappointment.

    I would have given this place 5 stars, since it has been one of my favorite Giordano's locations for many years...but something happened during my last visit. First of all, they are currently doing renovations - which, when complete, look to be fabulous!! I was impressed that despite all the renovations, the location was warm, and clean - really clean. Now, on to what happened....we ordered 1/2 pepperoni 1/2 sausage..all with mushrooms. When the pizza arrived, the waitperson asked who wanted pepperoni - I said I wanted pepperoni, and my BF wanted sausage. OK, so she serves us each a slice. So I will take partial blame on this one because I should ALWAYS check, but I did not, I blindly went in and started eating...and got a big piece of sausage..I had to spit it out at the table - it was gross, I know, but anyone who knows me, knows that I really dislike sausage on pizza - I mean it literally makes me sick to my stomach. So, my BF and I switch plates because it turns out, HE has pepperoni. Next slice, my BF gives me a slice of pepperoni because, according to him, that pepperoni and little piece of sausage on top of the pizza indicate where each section is, and the waitperson didn't look closely...ok - once again, I blindly go it - once again I spit up sausage - that was it for me. I could not eat any more. So, besides my naivete, who is to blame here? The wait staff? the cook in the back who didn't mark the pizza correctly? Not sure, but it ruined my experience during this visit. I was not happy at all. Sure, it won't stop me from returning here...but I will definitely inspect each slice, or just order a pizza with my fave toppings just for me. ps - love the parmesan fries...

    Giordano's gets two stars because the food is pretty good. I deducted three stars because they make it so incredibly difficult and painful to get that food. I'm in Rosemont every week on business and I stay at a hotel that's less than a quarter-mile away. The first time I ordered from Giordano's, I placed the order over the phone. I had to repeat the order six times before the girl taking the order got it right. This was a two-item order, btw. Then I had to give my credit card number four times before she copied it down correctly. After two tries, I told her I'd just pay cash. Nope. Phone orders have to be paid by card. The following week, I elected to get my food delivered. There was a $5.00 delivery charge! This is literally a quarter-mile away, mind you. Electing not to pay $5 for a minimum-wage delivery boy to drive 30 seconds, and also choosing not to deal with the phone girl, I've been placing my orders on their website and picking them up. The website does not allow you to specify a pickup time of less than one hour from your order time, so don't be too hungry when you order that way. Also, make up your mind before you start the order. If you delete an item or go back to add another item, it wipes the entire order and you have to start from scratch. This is especially annoying because you can't see the price of an item until after you've added it to your order. Now you go to pick up your order; that's when the fun really starts. In spite of the hour+ lead time, you order won't be ready when you get there about 50% of the time. I've waited up to an additional half-hour for my food. More than once, they've forgotten that I was waiting there and neglected to tell me when my order _was_ ready. Now I just go back to the counter and bug them every couple of minutes. All this is a pity because the food really is quite good, as you can tell by the back that I do keep going back in spite of all this silliness. I just wish they'd get their act together.

    In 2011 I began working in the area, so by default I came here with some coworkers. There are Giordano's locations all over the place, and the food is the same quality at all of them. Dining in has not presented any problems that I can recall, other than a coworker getting diet coke instead of regular...but that will happen anywhere, and is easily resolved with the greatest of speed. This location is 5 minutes from the airport, and believe me, it can get very busy here. During the last year or so, I will call in an order for pickup, and the order has always been ready on time. Lately though the orders have been a little off where it leaves you feeling a bit frustrated. For example, I get their north side Italian beef, and it comes with a container of dipping sauce. But when the lid for that sauce is broken...guess what...it spills everywhere. If you pick up and want ketchup...guess what...no ketchup...so what's the point of French fries? And especially what aggravates is when you open the to go box and there is no napkin, fork, or knife. That's when the frustration sets in and the ability to enjoy the meal fades away. But alas...the food is well priced, convenient, and every employee there has always greeted me with a smile. So three stars for this location, and I'll see you guys again soon.

    We were staying at the Crowne Plaza, and ordered delivery on a Thursday night. I was apprehensive based on some of the other reviews of delivery here, but we got a hot, delicious pizza without a hitch. When I called, I was told it would take 1 hour and ten minutes (perfectly reasonable). The delivery guy showed up on time and came up to my room. Pizza also came with plates and utensils. The pizza wasn't cheap, but it was well worth it. If you're looking for great deep-dish pizza, Giordano's won't disappoint.

    Pizza so big and deep lol took me lunch and dinner to finish it. Overall it was great I got with all the vegetables, only complaint was that it was light on the sauce so it tasted dry. Pie was 32$ altogether which is a pretty penny for a pie. Fast delivery

    Haven't been to this location but it is jut as good as all of the other ones. A buddy and I split a large thin crust, (neither of us are fans of Deep Dish), half mushroom half green peppers pizza. I chose to go here for a few reasons- #1: It's a good middle point for us. #2: We both love their pizza and hadn't had it for a while. #3: It's a much better alternative to the less than sub par RAM that is right across the street from it. Can't wait to go back.

    I think it is the best stuffed pizza in Chicago (still have not had Uno). Fresh ingredients and plenty of toppings/fillings. One of the things I really liked was ordering on the web, much easier than calling, being put on hold and then getting the order messed up. Definitely recommend ordering ahead, even if you are eating in, as the place gets really backed up.

    I am a Chicago native and lifelong pizza aficionado. This was my first Giordano's pizza and my last. Way too much cheese, not enough tomato and very unremarkable crust. Craptastic in every way.

    This is probably the best deep dish pizza. Everybody travelling to Chicago must eat here every time.

    They keep promising but they do not delver. I order by phone and I was told you will get your pizza in about an hour. However, it's been 1h and 30min and still nothing.

    The deep dish pizza is absolutely delicious! We eat here often for lunch as we work just down the street. However today my wife and our 2 adult daughters met there for a Sunday lunch and watch the Bears get destroyed by New England. We ordered a large Deep Dish Special, Parmesan Fries, a house salad, and drinks. The salad and fries were awesome! My wife's drink was very potent (plenty of alcohol). She passed it off to my daughter. The pizza came and it was great as usual. We even had a few slices left over to bring home to our 15 year old son. They have a great outdoor patio that you can enjoy weather permitting. I highly recommend this Giordano's because of the consistent good quality food and excellent service.

    Great food. The calamari was sooo good, the cheesy bread was delicious, Parmesan fries was good...but wait there's more...lol the PIZZAAAA lol. The pizza was good & extremely fulfilling. After the appetizer, I couldn't even eat a whole slice of the stuffed pizza. The flat bread pizza was good as well. The waitress was very nice. My only complaint was the cannoli :-/ it was awful..absolutely no flavor. I'm from New York, I know a good cannoli when I taste it. However, you want great food this is the place. :)

    Zero Stars for customer service and delivery. We called to order a $100+ delivery order and we were told that they could delivery two blocks away though not to the house address less than 3 miles away from their location. They agreed to deliver two blocks away at a church and we paid with a credit card in advance. Less than 10 minutes later they called back saying they were canceling the order. We have always been huge fans of Giordano's ordering substantial orders for our team and customers. Sadly, not any longer.

    Being from the East Coast, you can rarely find a decent stuffed crust pizza, so while out in Chicago what better place is there to try this delicacy. I was tipped that Giordano's was the place to go and luckily there was one not a mile away from my hotel. I decided to go for the stuffed crust supreme which had mushrooms, peppers, onions, and sausage. I was mightily impressed with the pie....beware though...it weighs a ton! The pizza had good flavor and the crust was nice and crispy. I guess it's true what they say - Chicago pizza requires a fork and knife!

  • Rich T.

    You're near an airport and convention centers. Thousands of people. This place moves more pizza and beers than most towns and does it well. Giordano's while a chain you know exactly what you want and what it is going to taste like before you walk in the door. Don't drool. It tastes just like that. Mm hmm.

  • Janice A.

    I've heard from more than a few people that "Chicago pizza isn't actually deep dish" or some related nonsense. In my world, the stuffed pizza from Giordano's is Chicago pizza. I was lucky enough to live near their Downer's Grove location and its ruined all other pizza for me. I was actually happy to get stuck at O'Hare for a night when I saw this location within delivery distance of the hotel. My favorite is the classic with peppers and such, but we stuck with simple pepperoni because my husband is kinda lame. Doesn't matter, the sauce is thick with a pleasurable amount of tang, the cheese is thick with the right balance between gooey and creamy, the pepperoni, though not thick, were plentiful and had a spicy kick, and the two layers of crust were actually worth eating the edges of (together, they were quite thick). Thick. I think I've made my point. We ordered delivery and it arrived in almost exactly an hour. Not bad, considering due to the pizza's thickness, the thing takes a bit to cook up. Be patient. Your taste buds will be happy. Your tummy will be happy. Until your tummy hurts because you ate just one more slice and now there's a thick pizza food baby in your tummy. Screw your tummy, this pizza is worth the pain. I think I just figured out why I lost a few pounds when I moved away.

    When here today with a group of three other ladies from work. We ordered the Chicago special stuffed pizza and split it among the four of us. The food was delicious! We couldn't finish the large pizza among the four of us. The only complaint I have is the server was not very attentive. However, the restaurant was incredibly busy, there was not an empty seat in the place.

    Some don't like comparing but I have too.... I have to say hands down this was far better than Gino's East. Not only on the food but the overall experience. Customer service is big when dinning out. It makes for an overall experience. Now both were long waits but the customer service was by far better here than at Gino's. To be honest Gino's was terrible. Plus the food was better at Giordano's so really it was no comparison. I am not rating on their world famous deep dish but on their traditional pizza which was a 4 star. A very good pizza but nothing that was exceptional. Maybe my expectations were too high. But I would give a 5 star for their cobb salad. That is probably the best tasting and presented cobb salad I have ever had. First the presentation with all the colors and added ingredients such as peas, pasta, made it for a very tasteful salad. The mixture and portions of all the ingredients in the salad was perfect. The dressing is also very tasty. When I return I will definitely get the cobb salad again!!

    In Chicago for the first time in years and had to get some deep dish. Didn't feel like going out so had it delivered to our hotel nearby. It took about an hour but it was so worth it. Our pizza was hot and delicious, loaded with cheese, pepperoni, black olives and fresh garlic. A small fed 3 of us well, although we probably could have had another slice or two. Highly recommend.

  • JeanMarie M.

    Best deep dish of my life..seriously perfect crust..topped with incredibly tasty red sauce inside was pepperoni cheese onions and lots of flavor....going to go online to order some to get shipped to the SF area for a party.

    Had a great lunch here. Close to the airport and meetings at the hotels. Service was good and so was the food. I had the chicken parm sandwich and as Payton manning says "taste so good". I will return next time I am in town. They have real deep dish pizza. I will try it next time.

    Just ok. Atmosphere is divey chain. Deep dish pizza is ok. Thin crust pizza is bad. Harvest salad was very good. We are from boston so the pizza style is different. Our kids did not like the pizza.

  • Michael S.

    I am from the Cincinnati area, and always hear this is THE place to go for a true Chicago deep dish pizza, yet, my family and I were all really disappointed. We ordered a Caesar Salad and it was really tasty, although the croutons were very stale. Our pizza was alright, kind of an under-seasoned deep dish you could get anywhere with a hard crust. Overall, I would pass this chain up and head to another local pizza place, especially for the $20 price tag.

  • Minal J.

    We pre-ordered a large spinach stuffed pizza ahead of time. I noticed that you could get a free appetizer if you sign up for their e-letter through yelp and I took the time to do so. When we went in, the waitress was going out of her way to inconvenience us, as if we wanted to steal food! She went back and forth trying to verify if this was even allowed and which appetizers we could or could not have, even after showing her that i received the confirmation. On top of it all, we all asked for waters, but she only bought out waters for some and not all. We asked for sides which she got all wrong and she didn't even try to apologize. I didn't get her name but she was extremely rude and kept a smile on her face as if she was doing it all on purpose. We still tipped her well because we are not the kind of people to cut a person short but she did ruin our group experience. The pizza was a little cold even when it came out. The giordanos in Willowbrook is much better. I will never come back to this location again.

  • K. M.

    Good pizza but felt a little too much like a chain for my taste. Also, as others have mentioned, you can get a personal pizza if you are eating alone - although it is called a "baby pizza" to shame you into buying a bigger size!

  • Mallory S.

    Best deep dish in all of Chicago. Order the classic. The crust is my favorite. Crunchy on the outside and softer on the inside. They do not skimp on the toppings which is great. Service was good. TVs to watch the Bears game was a nice touch!! Will definitely return

  • Elyse L.

    The first location I went to was downtown on Rush and that's where we like to take friends and family when they visit simply because it's a touristy atmosphere. This location is closer to our house and just as good. I've tried Gino's and Lou's but this deep dish pizza is my favorite of the three. Come hungry, but don't spoil it by filling yourself on a giant appetizer. We normally share the bruschetta (you have to pay to add mozarella, totally worth it). When the pizza finally arrives 45 minutes later it's like Christmas morning. Hot, cheesy, comfort food heaven. Most places have the typical crushed red pepper and Parmesan shakers on the table, but they have one with dried oregano too which rocks. Its always easy to find a parking spot here, and I've never had to wait more than five minutes for a table. I keep meaning to try their thin crust, but the stuffed pizza really can't be beat.

    I had the Fresh Spinach stuffed pie. It was deeelicious. I had 2 slices for Lunch, 2 slices during my flight and 2 slice when I arrived in LA. I sat at the bar, the bartender was very helpful, he reccomended a beer call Bells OBERON. I was a Wheat Ale slightly hopped and chilled to perfection, and the glass was frosty. I will def be back next time i'm in Chi Town.

  • David K.

    Arrived to Giordanos on a Saturday night, and the place is VERY popular. Put our names on the wait list. The wait was roughly 40 mins to get a table. The hostess gave us a menu to look at while we waited and took our "pre-order". Because of that we saved 20 mins because they started our order before we were seated. Once we were seated, our order showed up in 10 mins. The pizzas are truly amazing!

    While in Chicago for a wedding, we had Giordano's delivered to our hotel. He were told that it would take an hour and a half because there was a convention in town. We hoped it would be worth the wait and that it would live up to its hype. It wasn't. Of course, with delivery it is not fresh out of the oven. However, I don't think there is much that could've redeemed it. My husbands comment was "this is one notch above disgusting" and I personally would've enjoyed a frozen pizza far more. It's salty, dry and filled with unnecessary spices. They must cater to people who do not know good pizza or good Italian food. Don't waste your money or time. Spend your money on a frozen pizza and enjoy it more.

  • Eloisa H.

    We were a large group of 30 people and they accommodated us so well! We called ahead of time to make reservations and there was no long wait, they satus down in the patio area with 2 split long tables. The service was great and the food came on time despite it being around midnight already !

    We needed a place near the Hyatt to grab a quick dinner and this place fit the bill. I was disappointed that we couldn't get a deep dish since they take 35-40 minutes (but hey, you're going to want to wait). We went with cheesy garlic bread which is a must have if you have 4 or more in your group, you can definitely share. The small side salad is also surprisingly good and can be split between two people. We ordered a thin crust pizza with sausage and onion and boy was it delicious, definitely better than regular thin crust from anywhere else. The crust was perfect and the cheese was just right. Our server was a bit flighty and didn't know what half of the pizza was which but we figured it out and everyone was happy and full for under $50. They also have frozen deep dish pizzas to go so next time I'll be snagging a few to stock up.

    I went here in the freezing Chicago weather just to try the pizza! I thought it was very delicious. The atmosphere was pretty good although they were doing construction on the location I visited. They had a pretty good beer selection available with the construction going on. We had an amazing deep dish pizza. It only took me one slice to get full. I would come here again anytime I am in Chicago but I would like to try the downtown location.

  • Dave S.

    If you have enjoyed pizza at one Giordano's, than you have enjoyed one at them all. This location was no exception. - We had an amazing pizza. They paid particularly good attention to us but did not some seem especially friendly. The dining room is packed with tables. When it is full, it is very difficult to walk to the door or to the restroom. Other than these two minor things, it was a great meal with my co-workers! I would go there again with them any day!

    My official first cheat meal of the season! Giordano's, you seriously have my foodie heart in your hands. :-) I've always been a Chicago deep-dish style pizza girl so Giordano's famous stuffed pizzas was a definite spot for me to bookmark and try out since we were staying in Rosemont for the NPC Jr. Nationals Bodybuilding and Fitness show that I competed at. The restaurant itself is a decent cozy, family-sized place. There was a small line of people when we showed up around 10:45pm. We put our name down to get seated and the cool thing about their ordering system here is that you can order your pizza ahead of time, that way by the time you sit down your pizza order will come out in knick of time (deep-dish pizzas here take 35 minutes or so to bake). We were seated extremely fast, only waited about 10 minutes. My pizza order was a small stuffed cheese, sausage, mushroom and spinach deep dish pizza. And a small can seriously feed about 2-4 people! Especially when you're leaning out for a show, my small order could have fed about 5-6 bikini girls! I originally wanted either the garlic bread or the fried calamari as my appetizer but there were many reasons why I opted for the caprese salad. 1. My trainer/coach told me to stay away from sodium and carbs (yes, he's pretty strict and obviously I didn't listen too well since I wanted to eat here where it's sodium and carb central!) 2. I didn't want to get full off the garlic bread and I wanted to taste the actual crust of the pizza when it came out. 3. I have braces, so chewing calamari would have been difficult. With all that said, my caprese salad was A-OK, not the best, but the mozzarella was super fresh for sure. The balsamic vinegar could have been a bit sweeter in my opinion. PIZZA review time! My thoughts: 1. The crust was seriously the best crust on ANY pizza I've ever eaten. How the heck do they make their deep dish crust so airy, fluffy, right-bit-of crunch and flavorful? OMG! The crust alone is to die for. 2. Extremely cheesy to the max! But that's what stuffed pizza is all about. I can't complain about that dairy-filled goodness. 3. Sausage was nicely seasoned and cooked perfectly. 4. There could have been more mushrooms and spinach added (I'm a veggie freak), but there was enough to complement everything else. 5. I ate 2 slices at the restaurant. Ended up heating up another slice about an hour later at our hotel and then I hit BLOAT CENTRAL in my belly. My abs were no longer visible after that last slice. 6. Unfortunately I couldn't fit the remaining slices of pizza in our fridge so I had to throw out the box the next morning, what a waste. :( 7. I'm thinking I'll be buying some frozen ones online and having them shipped to me if I'm ever craving delicious, authentic, deep-dish pizza again. DESSERT! Yes, I had room for it cuz there's always effing room in a foodie's belly for ANY sweets. 1. I originally wanted cheesecake, but since we were gonna hit up Eli's Cheesecake World the next day, I opted for the cannoli. 2. There's no option of what type of cannoli, they just brought out this cute, yummy-looking pistachio cannoli. 3. We were afraid that I was going to have trouble biting into the shell of the cannoli, but nope...it had a light crunch to it and tasted delicious! 4. The mascarpone filling was HEAVENLY! And dipped on the sides with crushed pistachios...OMFG, jizzylicious in my panties that night for sure! 5. I don't think I'll ever have a better cannoli anywhere else unless we're visiting Italy in the near future. Giordano's, I effing miss you and if I'm ever in the Chi-town area again, I'm gonna stuff this face into your stuffed pizzas and cannolis once more!

    After being hyped up for Giordano's pizza on my work trip to Chicago, I finally had time on the last day to finally try this joint. Opinion? Extremely overrated. I don't get what the whole fuss is about. It tasted exactly like Domino's for me.

    Being from Chicago we take our pizza very seriously. I've had conflicts with favorites for years. For awhile it was perry's, then I wised up and it was malnati's, then ginos east (now a close second), but giordano's deep dish is currently #1. So good.

    I'm a pizza lover, I'm also from Ny so dilemma NY VS CHICAGO , OK let's say it like it is,Ny people call it pie, Chicago peeps call it pie, ny is thin crust pizza, with toppings Chicago is a pie filled with toppings and sauce.so I loved this pizza, sausage was great Italian, two slices and I was full.NY pizza I could eat two also.so in Ny they are the best, in Chicago they are the best, bartender was great , told him how to make a drink and bam perfect cocktail.service was great,I recommend coming here if you travel here.I'm coming back to try other foods they serve.

  • Jeudi J.

    I guess I just don't get the whole stuffed pizza thing. When you take away the big wall of cardboardy crust around the edge, and the thin cardboardy bottom, all you have is a pile of plain mozzerella. We got pepperoni since neither of us are big fans of sausage or spinach, but since the pepperoni is buried under the cheese, it doesn't get crisp, it's just under there. The sauce is nothing special. My local Pizza Hut makes a more flavorful, luscious pizza with better crust, nice and bready, not hard and flavorless. The parmesan fries were the only really good thing. The chopped salad was mediocre; iceberg lettuce and not enough dressing (or maybe just not very flavorful dressing.) The service was good. I took a friend visiting from California to get the Chicago pizza experience. Neither of us was impressed.

  • Travis A.

    Dang, this pizza is SO good! It's that deep-stuffed style of pizza that Chicago is famous for. This location is close to O'Hare, so we tried it out when traveling out there. It was really by mistake that we came here--we just wanted to eat pizza in a sit-down restaurant. But, wow, I'm glad we stopped by! I will absolutely make a point to stop by one of the Giordano's locations anytime I'm back in Chicago!

  • Donna M.

    Had dinner at this suburban Giordano's last night and it was wonderful. So glad we were here and not in downtown Chicago where the line was out the door. All of my Chicago native friends were jealous of the picture I posted of their famous Stuffed Pizza! It was fabulous food, fabulous service and a great time.

  • Edward W.

    My LA pal, Randy B., has it right. This is the place for really terrific Chicago-style deep dish pizza. Right by O'Hare airport, close to airport hotels, is Giordano's. This place could easily be your go-to departure/arrival Chicago fix. But hey, what do I know about Chicago pizza? I'm from the pizza wasteland otherwise known as the City of Angels. So how about the following non-city-centric review? Great crust, tasty red sauce, and enough cheese to make your cardiologist have a heart attack, Giordano's pizza is a winner, like the Cubs. Oops, scratch that. Like those LA Kings!!! Try spinach and sausage or your own creation. Either way it's going to be 35 minutes of culinary anticipation that gets fulfilled with the wonderful delivery of a signature Chi-town icon. Goodness on a plate. Cold beer optional. You can get nit-pick'ey and say Lou's or Gino's or somewhere else is better, but this is just solid, memorable, local fare in a casual, often busy, setting. Giordano's is Chicago's bragging-rights restaurant version of my LA's In n Out Burger. Unique, gotta-have-it provincial food. Just don't try getting your pizza animal style. Like totally knarly, dude.

  • Jessica G.

    This was my first time eating Chicago style pizza. It was good, I'm not a fan of the crust though. I would rather have New York style any day. As the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. I ordered a medium for 3 of us, could have gotten away with a small though. A little pricy for a pizza and salads, but you get so much food.

  • Alejandra G.

    Best pizza ever! Our favorite pizza restaurant. We just moved to LA and really miss Chicago after living there for 16 years because of Giordanos. We only like this location. They get super busy on weekends but worth the wait. I love their lunch specials.

  • Lucy W.

    A small stuffed pizza is more than enough to feed 2 people, with a couple slices leftover. I'm usually more of a thin crust girl, but who doesn't like a ton of cheese. The pizza does take about 30 minutes to cook, so the best thing to do is to get an appetizer or salad to start with...we got salad. A small salad was enough for the 2 of us to share. This place by O'Hare was very busy, with waits around an hour, on a random Wednesday night. Good Chicago pizza experience.

  • Justin C.

    I had Gino's the night before so I thought I would try the other big name. I understand it was a Saturday night but the hostess told us we could pre order a pizza and it would be out quicker than just waiting to order so we did that. About 20 minutes later we got a table and 35 minutes after that we got out pizza. Our waitress was really rude. Every time someone asked her for something she would roll her eyes and she pretty much slung out cheese bread on the table. We order the BBQ Chicken pizza and it was terrible. I just think that it is just an awful place.

    (1)
  • Kelly S.

    Yeah Baby, this stuff was good! We did not order a stuffed pizza as we are not that big a fan of cheese. Instead we ordered a BBQ Chicken Artisan pizza which rates very high on taste, the BBQ flavor was the best I have ever had. The service was excellent from the moment we came in the door until we left. It was the little touches that made the service go over the top. The hostess' were all so kind even though it was very busy. We were first timers from Michigan. My brother was acting like he was going to pass out from hunger so the hostess ordered the thin crust pizza in advance even though they don't like to do that because it might arrive before we are seated but my brother calmed down a bit knowing his food was ordered - mercy - men can get antsy when they are hungry. Afterward my brother asked the young girl behind the counter where they made the pizza where he might find a Target, or Wal-Mart and she cheerfully gave him directions. Gotta love the family :) The house Chianti was smooth, served in a nice glass with a generous portion. Our garden salad was plentiful and fresh. The prices were very reasonable for what you received. I can't wait to return.

    Once again the food here was amazing I really enjoyed the pizza I got a personal pizza this time the crust was a little bit Bready tasting notes much pizza crust tasting but I'm used to I think the one has better crust that's located downtown Chicago but this will still very good very cheesy and the vegetables on the inside were crunchy and trash overall great experience once again

    By far the best pizza I've had! You can split a large pizza with 2 people and eat twice everything is fresh! The wings were even above average. The mozzarella sticks are very good the staff was very friendly. If you're in Chicago period be sure to stop at 1 of the locations you won't be disappointed!

    Let me begin by saying I am a New York pizza snob. Since I am visiting Chicago, I was told I must try the famous, deep-dish variety. I must say this variety is not my preference, but I am glad I tried it. We opted for a medium, stuffed with jalapenos, Canadian bacon and fresh garlic. For me, the best part was the sauce. It had lots of basil flavor, though there could have been more sauce on the pizza for me. There was tons of cheese, and it seemed to be decent quality, if mega-loads of cheese are your thing. There were a good amount of Canadian bacon and jalapenos, and the fresh garlic flavor really came through. We had ordered delivery, and the order arrived at our hotel about an hour after we ordered, which we had been prepared for when we placed the order. I do think the price is a bit much, at $30 for our one medium, although I was only able to eat one piece, so I guess it will be good for a number of meals/snacks!

    It was an evening composed of driving to and fro the O'hare airport so we figured it'd be wise to choose a restaurant nearby. Giordano's is definitely a satisfying choice because of its famous stuffed pizza. It's a symbolic symbol of Chicago-style pizza and would definitely leave our foreign friends awestruck. And it most certainly didn't disappoint my friends and me. We arrived around 7pm on a weekday and were immediately welcomed by a wait staff and given a table for six. We started off with some garlic bread and then proceeded to ordering a 14 inch cheese pizza with sausage and mushroom. The pizza was so rich in ingredients that the meat was literally spilling when the pizza was sliced. One piece per person was more than enough because of its sizable portion. Service was great and quick. I'm glad we were able to squeeze in a dinner for our agenda and not miss our friend's flight.

    Came to eat here for lunch while visiting my company's corporate office in Rosemont. Looks and feels like a mom and pops pizza place. Tried the lunch deep dish pizza and just taking a glace at the personal size, it seemed small... But after eating the whole thing... it was just enough... Sometimes my eyes is bigger than my stomach... and sometimes it's the other way around... Pizza was think, dense, flavorful, lots of cheese (but half of the cheese wasn't melted as they either didn't bake it enough or if that's just the Chicago style...) It's actually good in it's own way but my preference will always be NY.

    Very impressed with this place. The delivery presentation of food was terrific. Bruschetta and chopped salad was terrific. Pizza was very filling. I will definitely be back!

    Fair to middling. I've had better Chicago deep dish, but this hit the spot after a very long day. Not a lot of meat and we got one of the meat choice pizzas on the menu. The salad with fennel was pretty darn good. There were 7 in our group - 2 from Chicago. They thought the variation on Italian Beef was good.

    This giordano's location is becoming a tradition stop after we hit up the star Trek convention every year. The service here is ok and the pizza is ok also. Never found there pizza to be anything special but it is still good. Personally prefer the thin crust here to there deep dish. Lots of better deep dish pizza in Chicago (gergio's, UNo and Gino's to name a few). If in the area for a convention and don't want to travel far the food here is good and the location is great. Wouldn't travel just to go here however.

    From out of town and read the reviews! This is the best deep dish pizza I have had! Little bit if a wait to get in, service was excellent. Tried Classic and Meat pizza, out if this world. When I'm back in town planning on bring my family here.

    Do I really need to elaborate on how good this pizza was? I would have given it 5 stars, but the wait staff was very slow and the table next to me was very obnoxious! Dang, I have heard of guys night out, but this was ridiculous and it seemed as though other patrons felt the same as I have due to the "looks" they kept getting. Instead of asking them nicely to take it down a notch, their server just joined right in with them!!! Shame on her. Now I can say that the Giordano's near Michigan Ave and the Mile is fantastic! This one was a bit loud for me.

    Pizza was good but bad service causing me to not return. First, I joined the eclub and received a coupon for free appetizer. Our waitress told us that we can pick anything up to $8. But when we got the bill, only $6.95 was taken off the bill and when I asked about it, the manager told me that the waitress was incorrect and had told her to tell us. Waitress never told us which could be blamed on her but the manager could have easily came by the table to correct the mistake his waitress had informed us. And the interesting thing is that there weren't any appetizers in the menu less than $7.95. Next thing was we ordered a lunch special which was suppose to come with Parmesan garlic fries. The fries came out like 10 minutes before the entree and the fries were plain fries with a side of ranch sauce. How is that Parmesan garlic?? Next thing was when we got our appetizer, we had to ask our waitress for plates. Did she expect us to each just take a turn and eat from the big appetizer plate? And when we asked for plates, she brought us 4 when we had 6 people in our party. When I commented this to the manager, his response was that she was probably busy cuz the restaurant was full. Really? That's the excuse. Not coming here again when there are many other restaurant choices in the area.

    The gluten-free thin crust was good, and the usual off-taste without yeasty wheat was there. Almost everything else on the pizza could have been confused for cardboard. The overwhelming blah cheese, that must be super low fat, and not at all browned, masked the taste of everything else. And "Where's the sauce?", especially on a gluten free crust that needs more help to be great. Of the three toppings, chicken, mushrooms, and black olives, it seems they don't like to give hardly any mushrooms. There was plenty of moist chicken, which really didn't add any flavor to the party. And the black olives, the only thing above the mountain of tasteless rubbery goo, could have survived quite well in the oven to get some color on the cheese. This pizza could have been so much better with more sauce and real full fat cheese, but less of it. If you want or have to be gluten free, this may not be a tasty choice to try out.

    Our server was very attentive and friendly. The chopped salad was the best salad I have had in a long time! We got a deep dish sausage pizza (cuz it's Chicago!). It was good, but I guess I am a thin crust lover. (Which was on the menu, too!) I was happy with our choice to have dinner there and would eat there again.

    Not the best Giordano's I've been to, but still awesome. This location is right next to the airport, surrounded by hotels and tends to be busy. The service is fair, but the pizza is good. If you want Chicago, deep dish pizza, it's a home run.

    Loved the stuffed crust pizza! Great restaurant. Was a bit slow on getting the food, but service was great and price wasn't bad at all. Would definitely recommend trying this joint.

    Crowded noisey and wonderful. The atmosphere on a Friday night was everything you could expect. We tried the toasted ravioli and it was alright. They were rather chewy and bland. The pizza - that is what made this place awesome. We had to wait 40 min for the pizzas but when they came to the table the were mouth watering. We went simple for our sons with the thin crust pepperoni and cheese. It was good however the stuffed pizza is what we ordered. We got the Chicago special and it was so good. It was served w/ sauce on the top and so much cheese and fillings that it oozed. I would for sure come back!!!

    After arriving in Chicago-O'Hare from LAX, I wanted to try some Chicago Deep Dish Pizza while in town since I was going to a small town suburb of Chicago in Indiana. After we picked up our rental car, we looked for a Chicago Deep Dish place, and this one was the closest one from the airport, but I really wanted to go to Gino's East since I know they put a layer of sausage in the pizza but it was a couple of miles more, but we just ended up eating here since this popped up first. I was pretty excited for trying some Chicago Deep Dish Pizza, we ordered the Special with pepperoni added. When I tasted the pizza, it was pretty disappointing since the crust was more doughy, since I expected a more flaky buttery crust like what they have in Gino's East and in Lou Malnati's. I was already full after eating 2 full slices of the pizza, and the pizza here is actually stuffed which is what is different here than in the other Chicago Deep Dish places. If you want Chicago Deep Dish pizza don't go here, go to Gino's East or Lou Malnati's which is more authentic I believe and better even though I haven't tried it yet. If you are just going to stay within the O'Hare Airport area, and want to try Chicago Deep Dish, just go to Gino's East more further down. I even think that the Chicago Deep Dish I had in Los Angeles in Masa, and in Tony's Little Italy in Orange County was even better than here.

    We got into Chicago late on a Friday night and ordered from here since it was very close to our hotel. We ordered a medium pepperoni and a house salad. The salad was nothing special but the pizza was out of this world. A medium for 2 people was a lot since the slices are so big and filling.

  • Ricky M.

    This is what Chicago style pizza is supposed to be like awesome pie crust, tons and tons of cheese and toppings, and great marinara sauce. I have no idea how anyone can eat more than 2 slices cause this pizza is filling! I also tried there wings here but they were pretty depressing so I would stick to there pizza only.

  • Randy B.

    TO DIE FOR! What do I want for my last meal? Yep, this could very easily be my request. "Pizza perfect" should be the name. Deep dish pizza definitely at its finest. HIGHLY recommended for your first time try of Chicago-style pizza, and perhaps each and every time! I get daily emails of thanks and appreciation from several people who took me up on my recommendation. Alright already!!! With a crust better than a buttered biscuit, each bite melts in your mouth, or better yet and my preference, my mouth. I also believe to experience it best, get no more than 2 or 3 toppings on it. You want to make sure not to dillute the amazing flavor of the sauce, the cheese, and that crust...and just keep it simple.

  • Nicci B.

    Carried out a couple of thin crust pizzas and a chopped salad. Very good quality if a bit pricey. Entree size salad was very large and fresh. It could easily make four side salad servings. BBQ chicken was tangy and a nice change of pace.

  • Erubiel T.

    Wow! Amazing! I'm from California and the wannabe Chicago style pizza places out there do not even come close. I was at this location recently and had the meat and more meat stuffed pizza. It was by far one of the best pizzas I've ever had. Even though the crust was thick, it was still soft. Not sure if this is proper deep dish pizza vocab, but theirs I thought was flour based as where others are corn meal. Anyways, the toppings were delicious, the sauce was not overpowering and we had a cute waitress with a hot Chicago accent. I have been converted. Going to definetly order some to have shipped out west.

    I was stuck at an airport hotel in Chicago. Instead of going for the standard hotel burger, I opted for delivery deep dish pizza which Chicago is famous for. Now I'm a NY pizza girl all the way, but I decided to give it a new try with an open mind. The pizza weighed at least five pounds. I ordered a small stuffed cheese and sausage. This pizza could easily feed three adults. The ingredients were high quality. The cheese and sausage were flavorful. I just don't get the thick crust. It was flaky and buttery like a croissant, just too much of it for my tastes. I gave three starts not because the pizza wasn't great, but because deep dish pizza just isn't my cup of tea. Or should I say slice of pizza?

    Plenty of reviews for this place already, so I'll just keep it brief! Came here to meet an out of town friend as she was at the Convention Center and knew it was close and I was craving some pizza! You can't go wrong with the pizza choices, thin or deep dish! The place was jam packed as we were leaving obviously due to it's close proximity to the Convention Center and partially due it's reputation for great eats!

    Better then in the past. Deep dish is always good. Garlic broccoli is great flavor on deep, Pepperoni is a waste on small - sausage is better. Pepsi products (yeah!), but refills are often from a 'flat' pitcher. I prefer Lou Malnati's, but if you are meeting someone coming in from O'Hare Airport, it is far easier for them to get to, and closer to the airport entrance - giving you an extra 25 minutes to meet (considering both directions). Kid friendly (cuts both ways, but they have 2 sides of seating, so probably can escape). TV volume is right at the edge during the news time. Just in case you are not familiar with Deep Dish - it does take time to bake, not their fault, so appetizers might be worth it, but a small really did satiate the 2 men comfortably. Tables are optimized to seat as many as they can. So it can be a little cozy moving around, but they can get real busy. Hostess stand always seems like they are lost if they are not on a wait, but they get the job done. Just minutes (by car) away from Allstate Arena/Chicago Wolves games and tons of the local 'airport hotels' on River RD and Manheim.

    Meh is the best way to describe this tiny location. The seats are packed so tightly together that it's literally like a huge community table--which, hey! If you're into that sort of thing... The pizza is standard, and standard is okay when you are starving a we were. We ordered our pizza while we waited for a seat, which was certainly a nice service, as deep dish can take awhile. The kid who took the pizza order very clearly was too busy flirting with the girl next to him as he wasn't even listening long enough to get the name on our order correct. But, the hostess straightened it out for us; no harm no foul. But, I wish someone would have told us that they changed the calamari! It is no longer just straight calamari; now, it's got some mixture of weird breaded stuff... lemons and lemon peels, green beans and red peppers thrown in the mix? Ew. There was little to no calamari on the plate. When we asked the waiter what the deal was, he said they'd recently changed the menu. Lame! Change a recipe, don't change the whole dish to spice things up! AND, the bathrooms are horrible. At least the ladies one was not at all appealing.

    They must put crack in their pizza crust.. it's sooo good! I normally don't like deep dish pizza, but when I had a chance to check out Giordano's I couldn't pass it up. I planned for 3 days to make time for pizza and was determined to bring it back home for the fam to try. I ordered a large sausage and mushroom pizza and my friend ordered the same but also with pepperoni. I forget our server's name but he was nice.. although he was a little pushy with us ordering drinks even after we declined twice. The crust is so buttery and flaky but not crumbly. It was almost like pastry dough without the sweetness. It kinda reminded me of Popeye's biscuits.. not as buttery but the texture is similar. It's very dense. I would have like a little more sausage as it seemed like there were more mushrooms. The cheese was packed on and I liked the light layer of sauce on top. Was this the best pizza I've ever had? No... but it's just my personal preference towards deep dish that holds me back from giving it 5 stars. After a night of refrigeration and a 4+ hour plane ride with dry ice, the pizza was still delicious. The crust was not soggy at all which I think was because the sauce was on top. Awesome! I will be back in a couple weeks as the fam has already requested another pizza.

Pizza

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.

Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.

Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

Italian Cuisine

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.

Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.

If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
