Giordanos Enterprises Reviews

My son requested Traditional Chicago Deep-Dish Pizza and the Marriott recommended Giordano s Pizza. A two block walk landed us at the Restaurant just before the dinner crowd would arrive. We ordered two appetizers and two pizzas - one medium and one small, drinks and desserts. The appetizers took about half and hour and the pizzas took about 50 minutes. Not a fast food place so sit back and relax and have a drink. The pizza was worth the wait.

A Chicago staple and a must visit everytime I'm in Chicago. This location is conveniently located near central downtown. It was busy, but not overly packed on a weekday night. Sat alone at the bar and the bar tender was generally attentive. He hung out with his buddies maybe a bit too much, but was only slightly delayed getting another beer. Pizza took 45 minutes, but that's about what it always takes. I'd definitely visit this location on my next visit.

The wait is what makes this place not get 5 stars. My recommendation is not to go here if you are very hungry. Be prepared to wait 1 hour for a table and your food. You can pre-order the pizza to speed things up but it still may take long. If you want the pizza to be extra cheesy go with less toppings. The pizza is definitely delicious. But believe it or not it tastes even better in the morning the next day.

Classic Chicago pizza - if you want deep dish, this is it.

Good deep dish pizza. A must have during cold Chicago evenings.

Great service and great food! I appreciate that you get to order before you sit as deep dish pizza can take 45 minutes to an hour to make. You barely notice it once you're seated and have an appetizer! It definitely a must try!! We had the Chicago Classic!

One of the best pizza places in Chicago. Very authentic!

Food was great - had to be patient - tasks a while to make those thick pizzas

The pizza I ve had in a long time!! I really enjoyed the experience!! Lively atmosphere!! Great for all occasions!! My coworkers and I gathered here and we had a wonderful time and delicious pizza!! Prices were reasonable!! I will be coming back!!

Very busy place in downtown Chicago. Pizza takes minimum of 30 minutes to prepare, usually 45 minutes. If you have the time and money, go experience the deep dish Chicago style pizza. It's good authentic pizza, they include a large amount of toppings.

5 stars are not enough for the Giordano's chain. Not to mention this pizzeria with excellent staff and TOP location. Centralissimo. Fantastic!

First here ordered a deep dish but dough inside the pizza wasn t cooked. Manager was nice about it and brought us desert on the house.

great experience, delicious food. 45min wait time (went on a saturday, so to be expected) but once booked for a table you can place your order to minimize the wait on your food once you're sat down

If you are in Chicago you have to have the famous deep dish pizza and there is no best place other than Giordano's... Tried the veggie deep dish pizza and goose ipa... It is really difficult to eat even two slices as it is really heavy but so tasty that you will crave for more...

Grew up eating this and still always amazed how delicious it is every time!

The wait feels like a century. Pizza is good but not the best in town.

The deep dish pizza was really nice but not something I would eat again. The service was great but the wait time was too much

Visited a downtown location. They were superbusy on a weekday and the main dining room was full. Took a seat at the bar. The bartender was nice and friendly and fast but I wish he could have given better advice on the menu or specials. For example, I could have got the individual lunch special with personal deep dish pizza, salad and drink for $15. Instead I got a small deep dish for $25 and had alot of leftovers. Overall pizza was good, not great and there were out of a few local craft beers.

Pizza was really good! It was our first time having deep dish Pizza! It didn't disappoint!

My next trip to Chicago I'm coming back with my best friend to the restaurant we had our first meal together at.

This place is a must for great Chicago deep dish pizza if you are in the area.

Delicious deep dish pizza! Cold beer, excellent appetizers. Love it!

If you're looking for a good and classic deep dish pizza Giordano's is just one of many others you can go to and eat at. It tastes good and the price is alright. It's kind of like if dominos was a restaurant and offered deep dish pizza, it's good but it doesn't really distinguish itself in flavor or style from any other chain deep dish pizza place. Service was great at the bar and I appreciated my bartenders advice to order an appetizer since the pizza itself took about 45 minutes to come out. It was very filling for being a personal size pizza and they definitely didn't skimp out on loading it with cheese and sausage. Overall it's a cool place to go with your friends and get a pizza, but I wouldn't call it the best.

This is Chicago deep dish! GREAT FOOD! The cheese pull when our waitress cut a slice still lingers fondly in my memory.

The staff was extremely friendly and fast! We needed to catch a flight at O'Hare and they were very accommodating.

I must say that The Chicago deep dish pizza is Not my thing, but The service and The pizza is alright here anyway. You roll out after dinner. It is a total heart attack dish. But very Chicago at the same time. Dont miss it, and make sure you are wearing a belt with some extra holes in it. You will need it. Stretchy pants place!

Like most people from out of town looking for a good Chicago pizza almost everyone recommended Giodanos. Albeit it takes 50 minutes from order to table it was well worth it. The crust is amazing and overall a 10

NATIONAL FOOD CRTIC REPORT!



I WILL NOT BE ADDING THIS LOCATION AS A FEATURE ON THE WINDY CITY TIMES !

BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME .....

Pizza was good, but we had to wait 1:30 hours to get seated.

Food was great!! Service sucked though, they place was probably half empty and yet our server only came to our table like 2 times and we were there for an hour. When they finally came the only time to refill our waters they made a mess on the table.

Disappointed. This rating is base on my expectations for a deep dish pizza. If you are expecting the deep dish to be "deep" meaning you want the crust on the bottom to be more than a quarter inch thick you will be disappointed too. The flavor was there but what they call deep dish is what Pizza Hut, Pappa John's, Dominos would call hand tossed or original. I expected at least 1 inch of crust.

We are staying right next door and wanted something quick and easy. Salads were amazing. Kids loved their pizza choices as well. Loved the friendly service from our waiter who couldn't do enough to please. Meals arrived in good time. Will definitely be back.

"The best lasgana I ever had was a slice of pizza at Giordano's!" That's me quoting me. This version of Chicago style pizza is perfect for the first timer and so so satisfying for the regulars. Save a couple of slices for the next day to eat cold. The bedrock of cheese is something to behold!

If you're looking for good and cheap deep dish pizza, definitely come try out Giordanos. The pizzas are delicious despite it being from a chain.

Great deep dish pizza! One slice was even enough for me lol! The atmosphere is nice and the service is great as well. We had to wait a short while but they took our order before sitting us so it took the least time possible!

No doubt pizza is fantastic, but the wait time take all the fun away. Just next door to Willis tower makes it more crowded. The kitchen folks are more of jugglers :-)

Best restaurant ive been to in a while thanks for the great service i appreciated the food, wine, and the lake shore vodka ice tea lemonade. I rate 5 stars

Long long wait. But, they let you order your pizza at the counter which takes about 45 minutes. And by then your table is ready! This pizza is more like a lasagna or casserole, just to give you an idea. When they say deep dish it's about 3-4" deep.

The pizza is very good. But buyer beware... One slice is more than enough. So ordering accordingly.

Definitely recommend!

No reservation so I ate at the bar. Lots of room and quiet for a nice meal. The pizza was as awesome as I expected. Ordered large so I had plenty to take home.

My favorite Chicago Deep Dish pizza place!! There is enough of a beer selection to find something you like and they have other foods if Deep Dish isn't your thing. A must visit in Chicago in my mind.

To all pizza lovers please do visit Giordana s and enjoy the most yummy cheesy deep dish pizza. I tried Pesto chicken with veggies it was heaven

7,000 reviews can't be wrong about it - try and find out why. 6 stars!

My wife and I were in. Food and service were excellent. The restaurant is clean. This is a great Chicago establishment to have lunch or dinner!

Turns out, I'm not a fan of the deep dish pizza! If you don't like much tomato,then deep dish pizza is your nightmare!

Waited 1.5 hours for a pizza. Was told manager would speak to us but they never came. Food was ok but nothing special. Not worth the wait.

The pizza here is to DIE for. It is so good and well worth the 45 minute wait we had to endure. Our appetizers came out instantly though, so we weren't too hungry. I STRONGLY suggest anyone going to Chicago and wants to have magnificent pizza to go here!

Tried the deep dish veggie pizza. Liked it. Be prepared to wait for a while to get your pizza.

The pizza was pretty good but I didn't like the behavior of some of the waiters over there.

We pre-ordered for a company lunch. Regardless of the rush, the table and pizzas we're ready at our arrival. The only down side was it was really loud and the waiters weren't as attentive, but that'll happen anywhere with so many people.

Not your typical "deep pan pizza" - these are "stuffed" - with the filling inside the crust. I was skeptical, but now I'm convinced. Friendly staff, but very crowded (across the street from the Willis/Sears Tower.)

Pizza is served hot, taken almost 45 minutes to get deep dish pizza. Waiter has informed for deep dish pizza it takes 45 minutes. Asked us, if you could like to choice some other thing. Has we want to eat pizza we waited. It s worth our waiting. Juicy pizza and tasty so good. If you go near sky deck, you can try place. Staff are nice people

Place was super busy on Saturday night, expectedly. Our 20-30min wait time turned into an hour. Luckily we ordered our pizza when we put our name in for a table(if you have a wait time, order before you sit). The Caesar salad was delicious and our pizza came out before I could finish it. Place was packed but service was good and our waitress was able to keep up with everyone s wants.

Really good pizza but only 3 stars because the waiter was so rude. Pathetic service.

Great experience, but please, don't count the calories :-)

Note to self: while I am fully capable of eating a size small Giordano s deep dish pizza by myself, my body will like me more later if I only eat 4 out of 6 pieces. Amazing pizza though. Well worth the wait and would definitely eat there again. $20+ for the pictured pizza is a bit steep though I my opinion, even for downtown Chicago. Would ve got their $10 weekday lunch special but I was there on a weekend.

Truly some of the best pizza you will ever eat in your entire life.
