Giordano’s

Review is based on delivery to hotel. Arrived hot and earlier than promised. Comparable quality to what I’ve had in restaurant. Price with delivery and tip makes this higher than competitors. But if you want the ‘Chicago Deep Dish’ experience on a quick visit not a bad option.
Ordered the small antipasti salad. It was average/​mediocre. For the price/​quality would probably skip unless really craving a salad.
Order defaults to L. I forgot to click S so had ton of leftover pizza. Used the plastic salad container to keep two pieces to reheat at lunch and it tasted good next day out of microwave.

Huge Fan — love this pizza — deep dish is the best! Great service at this location. Pre-​ordered the pizza for dine in and it was ready when we got there — which is great if you don’t want to wait 45 minutes to get your pizza :) Will definitely be back.
PS — Can you open one of these in Los Angeles please? The weather is great out here, but the pizza is terrible — you’ll make millions!

Got a deep dish half Chicago Classic and half Veggie. It was amazing! I’m not from Chicago, so this was my first deep dish experience. We took it to go, half baked to fully bake it at home and avoid the long wait time. It was delicious!

YUMMMMMMMMMM
I’m not even a big pizza fan and it was so good. (Side note: I HATE tomato sauce so i totally scraped mine off. don’t judge) I ordered a cheese pizza and the boys shared a meat lovers one. It takes about 45 minutes to get a pizza cooked so be prepared for a long meal but it’s worth it!
This is a must stop while in Chicago to enjoy traditional Chicago deep dish!

Probably not our waitress’ best day. Went last night for birthday and hadn’t been to a Giordanos in years for sit down. The restaurant was full but we had made reservations. Rarely saw the waitress. Was brought a margarita instead of a margarita pizza, ordered an entrée size salad, got a small… but she disappeared for so long, I ate it! Got water refills only once. And of course, there was an item on our bill that we didn’t order :-(. The couple next to us had to go look for same waitress as they had waited 20 minutes for their bill. Pizza was good, service below average. Hostess staff, however, was friendly and attentive upon arrival.

A visit to another Chicago classic on my trip. They have excellent deep dish pizza. Maybe not downtown Unos or Duos good, but mighty fine.
We had the Chicago Classic without onions. They have good cheesy bread and salad, but I am not 19 anymore and knew that the pizza would be more than enough.
It is great seeing them serve this where you can see that delicious melted mozzarella. It was fabtastic, that perfect mix of tomato, chhese, meat, and veggie.
I am still a pretty big eater. I had thee slices and almost had to be rolled out of there.
The deep dish can take a while, about 45 minutes. Service is sometimes slow, although excellent today. The wine list is not very good. None the less, It is definitely worth checking out – always one of my must eat places

Sorry, not my cup of tea or piece of pizza. Sounds like a local delicate for the visitors. My sister in law has a guide book with this brand listed. And was surprised I never had this deep dish pizza before.
The salad and Calzone were fine and pretty much average. The long waited deep dish pizza was pretty thicky and loaded. It was good but we were not able finish half of it.
The part I didn’t like was the services. The waitress looked like she didn’t want to be there. The table was sticky. And she never came back to ask how were things.
Well, I could say I tried the deep dish pizza for the first time at Giordano’s and probably would be the last time.

I was at this Girodano’s for a private party. I was so excited that this was the chosen location for the party and was disappointed. I typically like Gordano’s, but this location was lackluster.
All of the pizzas that came out for our party were cold and the dough/​crust wasn’t done. It was really sad.
Maybe it was an off day for this location. But, I probably would not return on my own.

Ordered a medium stuffed pizza and spaghetti for delivery and was told that it would be delivered at 8:30. Food arrived 30 minutes late– called the restaurant and no recourse for the horrible service. I will not be patronizing this location again and will not recommend it to anyone.

If I ever get into a situation where I am granted «one last meal»…this would be it! Lol, my favorite pizza in the world. Deep dish/​pan style, always delicious and love going here for a treat. Admittedly the pounds pack on fast so I can’t go all the time but I still recommend it as the number one pizza place to go to when out of towner’s ask where they should go.

I can only manage two slices, but was pleasantly surprised at the little amount of sauce which made my belly happy. It was also good to see that my daughter could get a personal deep dish in just cheese. Needed some salt, but otherwise amazing!

Uh oh… The east coast in me is about to come out. I like NY style, thin crust pizza that you can fold up and eat. But since I now live in the Midwest, I must have Chicago style pizza.
This restaurant was way too cold, which always ruins my appetite. They also give nothing to wait, like bread. We ordered a salad to share which has delicious lemon vinaigrette dressing. We waited 45 minutes for a deep dish pizza with mushrooms, which is typical. Our waitress ignored us a lot, and failed to fill up my coke or water. The pizza itself was delicious! I could only eat one piece though, since they’re so giant!
Bottom line is that I like the pizza, but the dining experience was stupid. I watched several waiters just stand around and talk in the corner while ignoring tables. I’ll eat the pizza but I’ll stick with takeout.

I love Giordano’s when it comes to Chicago Style pizza. Yesterday we made a visit to this one and called them an hour earlier, as it takes 40 – 45 min for the pizza.
As we reached pizza (cheese with chicken sausage) was ready and they took 4 – 5 minutes to bring it to the table.
No doubt service was quick and ambiance is nice, but we got the pizza which was not hot and the specialty of pizza the melted cheese was hard. We had garlic bread as well which was hot and really good to have, but didn’t really liked the not so hot pizza with hard cheese.

I like this location in law and the way it’s designed. I think they bought out an old fire station and turned it into a pizza house. Other than The great square footage holds it has amazing pizza. Every Giordanos that we go to has amazing pizza every time. But this place also has amazing customer service. I highly recommend this location just because the way they served us and treated us. But your dinos is my favorite pizza in Chicago so I have to give them a five star

OMG! I’ve been in Chicago for a few years now and I have just had the best experience here that I could have asked for.
Our server Melissa C. Was the best she knows everything there is to know about the food and drinks.
She has a wonderful out going personality.
Thank you Mrs. Giordano and to her family for continuing her Legacy.

Contrary to popular belief, the majority of Chicago area folks do not eat a ton of deep dish or stuffed pizza. (Please note that these are different beasts, as well.) It’s more of a once-​in-​awhile treat, because yes, we know that this is basically a pizza casserole.
Also, Giordano’s has solid thin crust as well as sandwiches and Italian dishes.
But we did come here for a stuffed pizza after a particularly rough week — where better to eat your feelings?
This location is near a lot of hotels and just down the street from Oakbrook Center, so it seems to cater pretty heavily to tourists. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
We were seated promptly and service was overall solid. If you are getting a stuffed pizza I recommend ordering quickly because it does take 40 – 45 minutes. We went for a medium cheese and an order of mozzarella wedges, because, hey, more cheese.
When I was a teenager in Indiana we would drive to Chicago and visit a museum and then usually hit a pizza place for dinner. Giordano’s was my favorite back then, and I think it was because of all the cheese — tons of ooey gooey melty mozzarella. Chew well.
These days I’m more of a Lou’s girl, but yes, if you like a little sauce with your cheese and crust, it’s hard to go wrong with Giordano’s.

My co workers and I came here for lunch. We called ahead to order a deep dish since it took awhile. It was the 4 of us and were easily seated when we got there. Weren’t too many customers either and it was a before 1pm on a Monday afternoon. Our waitress was nice and friendly. The four of us started with a starter salad. I had the house salad, two co workers had the harvest salad, and my boss had the cobb salad. I thought the house salad was just okay, too bland for my liking. My boss was indifferent with her cobb salad, but the two other co workers enjoyed their harvest salad.
For the deep dish pizza we got, it was a special. It had sausage, peppers, and onions. I t hought it was fairly good but very heavy. Two of my co workers didn’t think it was that great. They’re from MN and wanted to try Chicago style pizza and that was why we came here. One of them said he had better pizza before.
Overall it was an average lunch.

Recently renovated!!! As a local in the area I think this location cooks the deep dish crust to perfection. Restaurant is very clean and the wait staff is both helpful and concise.
Try the deep dish spinach and jalapeño… my personal favorite.
I have been to many giordanos in the chicago land area and always revert back to the oakbrook location ad my personal favorite!

Not a big pizza fan but appreciate the experience of biting into a Chicago pie. Cheese, sauce, dough and meat were one of a kind. Sauce was okay a little to sweet for me but enjoyable.
Service was okay. Server had flat personality and appeared ready to go home in her attempts to take an order.
All in all a great choice. I would go back.

Usually I eat at one of the Giordano’s downtown, but my family and I stayed out here in Lombard. The location is right between Oakbrook Terrace and Lombard. The Unilocal map for this Giordano’s shows that this place is located by Salt Creek, this is incorrect, so if you visit here you will not be able to check-​in unless you drive up the block about 2 miles.
We stopped here this past Friday night and it was very crowded, so there was no place to park, luckily it was after business hours, so we parked behind in the business complex without any issues. This location offers free Valet parking.
Anybody who has ever eaten at a Giordano’s knows that it takes at least 1 hour to bake a deep dish, so I always preorder ahead of time. Our server was Melissa; she was sarcastic, very attentive and totally rocked.
Even though we ordered ahead, it still took about 25 minutes for our food, so our spinach and cheese pie must have been made late. Nevertheless, once we got it was delicious and like I said, Melissa took good care of us.
This is a beautiful location; they have a really nice upstairs section as well and outside a patio section. I recommend this place.
I recommend this location; just make sure to order ahead of time. The reason why I took off one star is because our pizza was ordered ahead of time as I previous mentioned, after arriving an hour after placing our order, the pie should have been ready.
