I also tried their famous deep-dish pizza for the first time. To my surprise, it was delicious! The signature feature is definitely the cheese—there’s a lot of it. Mine was topped with sausage and mushrooms, though I wish there had been more sausage, since there was barely one piece per slice. The overall flavor was rich and satisfying, but definitely heavy on the cheese.
The restaurant itself is fairly small, and we had to wait to be seated. Tables weren’t the cleanest—ours had spilled water, and when we asked for napkins, the first server never came back. Eventually, our server cleaned it, but unfortunately with what looked like the same wet rag used across all the tables, which left ours sticky. Maybe that’s part of the “charm,” but it did take away from the experience.
One thing to keep in mind: the deep-dish pizza takes a long time to bake (around 40–50 minutes), so it’s not a quick bite. Plan ahead if you’re hungry.
The location, though, is great—right in the central area, close to hotels and attractions, so it’s easy to fit into your Chicago visit.
The food was great from the salad to the personal Pizza flavorful. It was a bit pricey, but because it was a deep dish Pizza I’m assuming that’s why it was so pricey, but atmosphere was great and food delicious and since I was in Chicago I had do try it.
Cheese pull was crazy! Also I really liked the sauce and the fact that you could make your own pizza.
Make sure to get the sausage.
The best part was they had a lunch special for $10.99 where you can get your own personal pizza, and the Parmesan garlic fries were fantastic.
Once seated, we gave our drinks order to the server, and they arrived promptly. We then went on to plan our food order. The server explained that the famous deep dish pizzas would take around 45 minutes, but after seeing the size of them, we decided to go for a thin crust pizza instead. We chose a half-and-half topping option, along with a starter of mozzarella triangles.
After a short wait, our starter arrived and it was really nice, perfectly crispy and full of flavour. Not long after we had finished, our pizza was brought to the table and it was delicious, with a lovely base and plenty of topping.
The team were generally helpful and friendly, though it was clear they were very rushed with how busy it was, aside from a couple of team members standing at the back for quite a while. It did take us a bit longer than expected to request and receive our check, but given how packed the place was, it was understandable.
Overall, it was an ok first experience at Giordano’s, and we’d possibly return another time, maybe when it’s a little quieter.
