Popular Chicago restaurant for deep dish pizza. There is apparently a rivalry between Lou Malnatis and Giordannos that my friends told me about, and their preference is for Giordannos. We didn't wait in line to get seated which was nice given that it was a Friday around 12:30 but it did take 40 minutes for our small Chicago classic pizza to come out. Our waiter did warn us that it could take up to 45 minutes for our food to come however so just be patient. We split a small size among four girls and it was more than plenty. The tomato sauce was thick and the cheese was uber gooey when it came out. It was really fun to eat since it felt like I was eating a straight up pie and I was stuffed when we were done. The crust was thick and held up well against all the toppings and sauce. There are bathrooms available although the line for the ladies room was consistently long. There is indoor and outdoor seating but I would recommend the outdoor seating when the weather is nice to get a fresh breeze. It was strongly air conditioned inside. Overall a really good first time eating deep dish pizza and I'm glad I got to try Giordannos.
