I can't say I'm the biggest fan of deep dish. Â It just seems a bit indulgent and leaves you heavy. Hard to compare to the tasty light thin crust at say a place like Delfina in San Fran. I did enjoy my deep pie. Meat and tomato sauce. Just remember to share one rather than stuff everything in at once. Worth a try if you visit Chicago. For me, deep dish in Chicago is like a Cheesesteak in Philadelphia. Sounds great but the real thing doesn't meet expectations.
Review Source:This is my "go to" pizzeria, but only because we're out of range of the nearest Lou Malnati's. Â I like the crust and the cheese. Â
I've always ordered the same pizza--sausage, pepperoni, extra cheese, and green olives. Â There was also always a $2 discount for ordering online. Â Th $2 discount for online has been taken away. Â They sometimes have it but you have to have a physical coupon and ask for it by phone. Â Stupid. Â
Recently there has been a vexing change, the green olives have been taken away and replaced with black olives. Â Black olives belong on American-Mexican greasy spoon food, not pizzas. Â I asked the person on the phone, "Have you had lots of complaints about the green olives being taken off the menu?" Â She said, "Yes". Â Welllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll?
Dear Mgmt, please don't &$%# with the menu when people like it the way it is and when they complain, please listen and bring back the green olives.
My post was removed before due to just  saying one thing, the word roach.... Let me elaborate. This place has horrible customer service. The people here are very rude and don't care, besides the one manager. Once I was done with one slice of pizza a roach crawled out of the rest of the pizza. The manager was apologetic but it was still too much. I got up paid and left. So no... I didn't need to elaborate but I will it was the worst Giordano's I have ever been to.
Review Source:Ok we all know I love pizza. I could eat it every day. I was so excited to finally get deep dish pizza. It has been a couple of years and I don't discriminate. I love all kinds it just depends on my mood.
This is not the Giordano's that I remembered. I would call this location the tiny, cave Giordano's. It was so tiny. There were only a few tables there. It seemed that they do a lot of delivery and pick up. This should have been the first sign of disaster...
For starters we ordered a Caesar salad and again it wasn't like I remembered. This whole experience was disappointing. What was more frustrating is that I finally got my boyfriend to agree to check out Chicago deep dish pizza.
So next was pizza time. Like I said it had been a couple of years so the taste I couldn't exactly remember. It was hard for it to come back because it seemed that either #1 they barely finished cooking our pizza and it seemed cold or as my boyfriend said room temperature or #2 they took our pizza out and it sat out for a long, long time. Let's be real, this is deep dish pizza if you left it out it was left out for awhile.
Our service was the bare minimum. We got our drinks and our food and that was about it. Very minimal communication. This  trip was an epic fail. I'm so sad.
I don't think I'm coming back to this location. I'm not even sure if I'm going to go to Giordano's. *sad face* I'll have to check out the other popular, established Chicago deep dish joints.
Having grown up in Wisconsin, the closest thing I got to deep dish pizza was some Domino's with cheese stuffed in the crust. Â However, after living in Chicago for several years, I can happily say that Giordano's has the best pizza I have ever eaten.
I can't speak for other locations, but this one always prepares a thoroughly cooked pizza with fresh ingredients that my taste buds go wild for. Â My favorite is any type of deep dish pie - meat lovers, veggie lovers, pepperoni... anything. Â The crust, sauce, cheese and toppings always taste great and it's hard to resist coming back the next day for more.
Now, I like pizza more than the average person, but Giordano's has definitely earned a 5/5 rating!
I love Giordano's, but I've tried to order pizza from this location twice, and both times there was a screw up.
First attempt at ordering delivery: I go on the website. Â The website recommends this store. Â I put in an order, put in my credit card info, get a confirmation email saying the pizza is on its way. Â An hour and half later - no pizza. Â I check my credit card - no charge. Â I call the location, and they told me there was no record of my order. Â *sigh* I thank them an we decide to eat at home.
Second attempt, almost a year later: I go on the website. Â I place an order. Â This time I check my credit card, and yes, I was charged. Â I called the pizza place to ask a question, and they answered it for me. Â Five minutes later, I have a missed call from Giordano's, but no voicemail. Â I call them back just in case, to make sure there isn't a problem with my order. Â I'm placed on hold for three minutes, only to have an employee say that they have no idea who called me or why. Â An hour and a half later, no pizza. Â I call them again, and behold! Â no record of my order. Â They told me that they tried to call me to tell me, but they had left no voicemail and didn't know what I was talking about when I called them back the first time. Disappointed, I say "well, I guess I'll order it now, over the phone," and was abruptly told I should call another Giordano's - the one on Montrose.
Two screw ups. No pizza. Â Zero attempts to make it up to me.
I called in for take out about an hour before closing. I ordered a large stuffed pizza with ground beef and tomatoes. Don't judge me! I know it sounds weird but you need to experience it. Anywhoo, I felt bad because I used to work at pizza joint for 2 years and stuffed pizza takes a long time and I ordered right before closing.
Well... Sure enough that made it within 35 minutes! BOOM! I went to Blockbuster down the street picked out two blu-rays, made fun of some hipsters on the street and came back down milwaukee to pick up my pie.
When I got home I stuffed my face. I know ...I know before you ask... How did I eat so much cheese when I always say I'm lacto&tolerant??? Well I was friggen starving from a long day of shopping downtown and eating crappy ass Wow Bao. Â The man at the counter was friendly and the workers seemed friendly even though they looked like they had a long day of pizza making. My pizza tasted soooo good. The right about of cheese and the right amount of sauce. The crust is a little dry, but who needs all that crust anyway... I'm watching my carbs. :)
Giordano's was my first stop in Chicago. Who cares about the Willis Tower or the Chicago Institute of Art? I wanted pizza! A friend recommended I go to Giordano's and Giordano's only. I was skeptical about making it my one and only pizza stop since they have multiple locations throughout the city--I like small mom and pop places in these instances...blah, blah, blah. However, I was short on time and there was a Giordano's in walking distance from my hotel, so I obliged.
To think I planned on only having 1 slice! Whom was I kidding? I always thought Chicago deep dish wasn't for me...I'm a thin crust kind of gal, but boy was I wrong. It was so deliciously delicious. My group and I ordered one cheese and one veggie and cheese. I recommend ordering as we did--one solely cheese so you can first taste what it's like in it's original style and one with toppings (or should I say stuffings?). The pizza takes about 25-30 min to make, but I suggest you refrain from ordering any appetizers so you can fully enjoy stuffing your face with pizza. The cheese was ooey gooey and the sauce didn't have that overpowering flavor I dislike in some pizza sauces. One thing I'd like to point out is that the sauce is slightly sweet, but it works!
The Giordano's on Rush street was spacious and service was friendly and efficient. If you're planning on making a visit I highly suggest getting there early around 12 noon to avoid having to wait a long time to be seated. Overall, I had 3 and 1/2 slices and I'm glad Giordano's was my first deep dish.
I have ordered from this Giordano's location several times. Mostly, when I am cramming out term papers and delivery is always prompt. I usually order the Stuffed Spinach pizza. It is standard of most locations. On occasion, I wish they would have used more sauce and slightly less cheese, but overall it's good stuff. Â I have also had their thin crust 'supreme' pizza which was good. A little greasy, but isn't all Chicago pizza?
Review Source:We have had Giordano's a few times since moving to logan square. Â I have learned something all the locals know but us transplants need to remember. Â The more stuff you get in a deep dish the sloppier the pizza is going to be. Â This time around we went for the super veggie, all the veggies you could want on a pizza. Â The delivery is always on time, from phone call to door was about 45min. Â
As I picked up the twenty pound pizza box, just a little exaggeration , i noticed it was soaking wet, looks like some of the veggie juice made its way out of the pie. Â After forking out nearly $40 for one pizza a sense of regret came over me, this happens every time, but in the end the pizza and the uniqueness of the dish add up.
The pizza itself is solid, lots of cheese just enough sauce and a crust that you can only get in Chicago. Â One piece is enough to fill your stomach, but leftovers are great too. Â So far Giordano's is the best deep dish we have found in the city, to be honest our first two attempts left us never wanting anything to do with deep dish, but Giordano's gave us a little faith. Â
Although we are both devout New York style fans, we will continue to order Giordano's deep dish when friends are in town and want to taste the famous pizza from Chicago.
I ordered online the other day from this location. Â I ordered a few weeks ago by phone. Â I am glad this tech-savvy location is near my place. Â Food has been excellent, typical Giordano's, great pizza, good pasta dishes. Â Orders were on time, accurate and still hot. Â Service was friendly and late night hours are a plus. Â Once I ordered for delivery and my food came faster (about 30 minutes) than the predicted 60 minutes. Â This location, and most others, are highly recommended.
Review Source:I've had my name spelled in odd ways, both first and last name, despite it being something you'd think would be easy to spell. Â I looked at my Giordano's (to-go) receipt and was amused that they spelled my first name "Kerrin". Â
Misspelling aside, we got a super vegi and a special stuffed pizza. Â When we got them home and looked at the boxes, there were no labels on either of them to let us know which was which, and they both looked the same on inspection. Â So..... which one was which? Â It was all down to 50-50 chance. Â Unfortunately, luck was not on our side, for the people that wanted meaty pizza were served the veggi, and vice versa, and there was so little meat in the meaty pizza that we didn't realize the difference until we were halfway through our first slice. Â The pizza itself tasted OK, but I like Lou Malnati's or Gino's better.
Ordered delivery from here last night for the first time.
We did not order the deep dish, but opted for the 'thin' crust instead.  Well, it turns out  "thin crust" just means it's regular pizza.  It's not actually THIN it's just not stuffed. bummer.
The pizza itself was fine, but pretty standard. Next time I'll try the classic stuffed crust or go with Lou Malnati's delivery.
I don't know what some of the other reviews are saying about this location not being consistent with the others. Â I've eaten Giordano's dozens of times at many locations and it's almost always been the same every time: Â delicious and extremely filling. Â Of course, I order only stuffed pizza so that could have something to do with it. Â Maybe the other dishes are less consistent.
But really, I've never had any issue. Â There's a parking lot (though I've no need to use it because I can easily walk there from my apartment) so that's even more convenience if I'm really feeling lazy.
Giordiano's is decent, the problem is all of the strengths of the pizza's here are better done somewhere else, for the the same price. Â This is my neighborhood Giordano's, but I have switched to the Father and Son's for delivery of my deep dishes (pizza's) because I thought the crust was a little better and the spices in the sauce had a bit more pop!. Â As for their specialty, the stuffed crust is good, and goes well with the slightly more robust and crackery crust of Giordano's. Â Makes a decent single layer chicago style thin crust too. Â I will have to compare this stuffed with Eduardo's to determine the Stuffed Crust style champ. Â Eat in is not a very good option at this location as its mostly a pick up window with some chairs and tables in front in a strip mall.
Review Source:I've never been to any of the locations but I ordered the pizza 4 times. Â The first time was a regular thin crust w/ sausage. Â The last 3 times were deep dish stuffed w/ sausage. Â I was excited when I moved to Chicago and everyone told me how good the pizza was. Â This place was highly recommended to me but I think I prefer Pizza Hut over this. Â It was ok in the sense that I like all pizza (even frozen) but it really did nothing for me. Â I will not order this a 5th time.
Review Source:They're not consistent with the one in Downtown, its like they use another set of ingredients, if you're going to own/run a franchise you need consistency. I went there for a pizza once with my niece, and after ordering we sat down to wait, 15 minutes later a woman comes in after us, orders a pizza just as we did and her order came out first? when she left I got up and walked over to the counter, the cashier as well as 3 other employees were giggling and looking inside a pizza box, one guy appeared to have a spatula in his hand, when the cashier realized I was standing there she said something in spanish I speak the language little did she know and she stated "thats her pizza" to the others,
What apparently happened was someone either dropped my pizza or layed something on top of it because as everyone walked away I could see that ALL the cheese was stuck on top of the box, the guy with the spatula was trying to scrap it off, I asked the cashier was that "my" pizza, after looking down and then turning around to look at everyone she said "yes" , I told her I wanted a refund...she had the nerve to utter "so you dont want the pizza" ..I was like....Um, no! Aside from that I can tell a huge difference in the taste and flavors of the food from this location and the downtown location which is so much better, thats my experience with this location.
Sorry guys, never returning to this location again.
Its Giordano's pizza, so I love it.
But to comment on this location:
I've used them for delivery and take-out.
They are very friendly on the phone.
Delivery time is to be expected (it was hot when it arrived!).
For pick-up, stuffed pizza takes about 30 minutes. There's a lot in front if you're driving.
If you care to dine-in, its very much a storefront pizza place with limited seating. (Not intimate in the least).
