I visited because I wanted to try Chicago-style pizza, and it was as good as I expected. The pizza was delicious, and the service was friendly and welcoming. They also had a fun event where they took instant photos for customers, which made the experience even more memorable. If I visit Chicago again, I would definitely come back at least once.

I visited on a Sunday evening in December. I waited about 30 to 45 minutes to be seated.
Since I’d never had Chicago-style pizza before, I ordered the standard one, but I was surprised by how large and generously loaded it was. The crust was crispy and delicious.
I definitely want to visit this restaurant again when I come back to Chicago.

I try to stop here at least once on every trip to Chicago. They consistently make a fantastic deep dish pizza, and it never disappoints. I think this was my tenth visit! Tonight I had a classic personal deep dish with bacon and a lemonade, and it was really good. The service was excellent as well.

This was our first time trying Giordano’s famous deep-dish pizza in Chicago. The pizza was different from what we’re used to and was okay-ish — not a huge fan personally, but it’s definitely something you should try at least once if you’re visiting Chicago just to get the experience.
The place itself was decent, but we did have to wait about an hour for our pizza, which is something to keep in mind. Overall, worth a visit for the classic Chicago-style pizza experience.

I had a lot of hype for their pizza. I was indeed impressed by their food and I really enjoyed it. To start their check in was smooth and their service was amicable. We got deep dish pizza (half Chicago style and half meat and more meat), calamari and more. For drinks we got Pepsi and beer. The draft beer was fresh and refreshing. The Pepsi was ok as I had 3/4th cup of ice which diluted the flavor. The calamari was good and fresh. It was accompanied by fried lime and pickle. Their marinara sauce dip was great and moorish. The pizza took us 45+ minutes. The Chicago pizza was amazing fresh and flavorful with crunchy veggies and the meat and more meat flavor was good. I found the meat to be fresh and the pizza to be perfectly cooked. Overall we had a great experience and I’ll definitely try more flavors when I visit Chicago next time.

I visited Giordano’s in Chicago and had a great experience overall. We ordered the Margherita pizza and the Veggie pizza. The Margherita was easily a 5 out of 5. The crust was perfectly baked, the cheese was rich and flavorful, and the sauce had an amazing balance of freshness and depth. Every bite was satisfying and it really delivered on the classic Chicago deep dish experience.
The Veggie pizza was decent, but not as strong as the Margherita. I would rate it a 2.75 out of 5. The vegetables tasted fresh and the portion size was generous, but the overall flavor did not stand out as much. It was still enjoyable, just not something I would personally order again compared to their other options.
What really made this visit stand out was the customer service. They welcomed us in about 30 minutes before closing and did not rush us at all. They allowed us to sit comfortably and finish our meal even after closing time, which was greatly appreciated. That level of hospitality made the experience feel welcoming and memorable.
Overall, between the incredible Margherita pizza and the outstanding service, I would still rate Giordano’s a full 5 out of 5. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Chicago and looking for an authentic deep dish pizza experience.

Can’t believe I’m only reviewing now. This is my Chicago pizza favorite. I’ve only been going here for 20+ years, and bring everyone I know here, and since I don’t live here anymore, I have to come here every trip I’m back. I’ve even taken the frozen pizzas back with me to Toronto. Such a great place to dine in, recently was there for this holiday season, but I’ve been all seasons, my favorite being summer, patio season 🙂 French fries are really good! Don’t skip out. And of course I have a divided family so we order both deep dish and regular pizza 🙂 highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed!!

Chicago’s known for its deep-dish pizza, and Giordano’s is one of the big names you’ll hear. Expect a serious wait, but it might just be worth it.
The pizza itself is a monster—a super thick crust that’s more like a pie than a pizza. It’s packed with cheese and you’ll need a fork and knife to tackle it. The sauce is ladled on top, which some people love and others find a bit much.
It’s a heavy meal, so come hungry or plan to share. Overall, Giordano’s is a solid Chicago experience, especially if you’re into that classic deep-dish style.

Chicago pizza might just give New York a run for its money. I tried this location, and although the wait for a table was long about 45 minutes. I chose the alternative option to order take-out. I ordered the deep-pan pizza with a salad, and it did not disappoint. The pizza was incredibly delicious, full of flavor, and the crust was so soft it practically melted in my mouth. I genuinely think this place serves some really great pizza.
