Giordano's

so here's how my phone order conversation went:

me: hey do you guys deliver to (such and such address)? (note-i asked b/c not a lot of hyde park restaurants deliver to our place)
phone guy: for takeout or delivery?
me: ummm...delivery....
phone guy: yea we do. *stops talking*
me: sooo...i'd like to place an order for delivery please...

so about two and half hours later, we finally got our food, a mildly amusing story, and narrowly averted getting an order mixup disaster from the delivery guy. i thought that by calling at 4:30, it wouldn't be as busy, but i guess not. the pizza was good as always, just be prepared to possibly wait longer than the wait time that they quote, and check the order slips stapled to the bags before the delivery guy leaves.

The food is pretty good, considering it takes an hour to be fed and the seating is rather tight, but the service is HORRIBLE! Our waiter was a complete butthole. As we were eating he was pretty much rushing us to finish. It's pretty sad when the bus boy exemplified greater customer service than the waiter did. And we also requested that the bill be separated and the cashier sarcastically said "yes as long as you do the dividing yourself" and he pretty much threw the receipt back at me on to the floor ( the Guy was about 500 pounds standing at about 6'5) . Never again will I patronize this establishment .

My husband and I ate here during a trip to Chicago to visit family. He expressed a desire to have Chicago style deep dish pizza and this place was recommended to us.

We went on a Wednesday evening and there were plenty tables available. We ordered fried cheese as an appetizer and we were happy with the quality of the little triangles that we were presented with. The presentation and the sauce were perfect!

We ordered a deep dish pizza and our server was very attentive, explaining that it would take about 40 minutes. We were fine with this and the pizza was delicious. We may be back to try their thin crust pizza as well!
