Disregard Joe E's review. Stuffed pizza? Are you serious? It's deep dish and you really need to learn the difference. And their pizza is AWESOME, just a bit expensive. We ordered the pasta last night, and it was literally incredible. Best I've had in years. And their Parmesan Fries are to die for.

I have always loved Giordanos in the city and this place is no exception. Wish they had a restaurant seating area but I can enjoy this delicious pizza in the comfort of my own home as well.

Really like Giordano's for quick carry out of pizza and pasta. The people are friendly and my orders have always been done on time. I generally get pizza from the smaller, local places but when I need something later in the evening or I want Chicago style, this is da place to go. Agree with the other reviewers, for carry-out it's expensive but good.

Their closing time is a myth. They stop taking orders at least 40 minutes before they close. Was in town for a NIU game from Ohio, wanted some deep dish after the game and got turned away. Very disappointed by the laziness of the guy that works there.

Short and sweet. We had numerous choices for supper and chose Giordano's as the only one we had never tried. The next time we come out from New York, I'm pointing the car here. The deep dish is excellent and our experience with the staff and owner was down home friendly and generous. If you find otherwise, try smiling yourself, a relationship always involves at least two.

Great food but pricey. You get what you pay for, though, Chicago-style pizza in the suburbs isn't going to be cheap. I wouldn't really put it in the same category as other pizza places in the area, because Giordano's is more of a "treat yourself" kind of restaurant to me. I usually get their baked spaghetti with meat sauce whenever I order from them, and the portion size is excellent for me (as well as the taste). If you're just looking to get a pizza, I wouldn't order from Giordano's. Like I stated above, it's definitely a "treat yourself" place. But, if you want to treat yourself to some good old Chicago-style pizza, Giordano's is your best bet.

First off, Giordanos has stuffed pizza, not DEEP DISH. Please disregard Teej's review, because giordanos does not have deep dish. Sorry, I'm a pizza snob, but I'm also correct on this one. anyways, a good option for za in the dekalb area. Much better than all the options arond campus. I will say that their stuffed pizza at this location is not as good as ones I've had closer to chicago. Not as cheesy or saucy... thinner too. Kind of disappointing. If you want Pizza, drive 30 mins east to Aurora, or a little over an hour closer to Chicagoland.

The pizza was passable at best. But a 3 topping medium was almost $30. Sam's was way better and way cheaper. And I'm sure many of the other local joints in town are the same way.

Deep dish pizza, chopped salad, and a chocolate cake to top it off and it was all terrific! The receptionist was nice (via phone) and the delivery guy was nice as well. Will be ordering again!

Great pizza, great service, a must when craving the best pizza Chicago has to offer. I'm from Detroit but stop here every time I come to town. It's a must have, like Buddy's pizza is for people visiting Detroit! It would be nice if the Sycamore location offered seating, but the pie is still tops.

Best pizza in the area hands down. We love their sausage and green pepper pizza. Their Rush Street Chicken Club is amazing as well. Every thing we have ever ordered has been great. Can't beat the great service and amazing food every single time.

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.
