This was our first time trying Chicago-style pizza and several people recommended Giordano's. The atmosphere was great, the staff were friendly, and the service was quick. I highly recommend the deep dish pizza. But the 6" single person pizza is plenty!
The best deep-dish pizza ever. Kate our server (With a beautiful accent😉)was very attentive and knowledgeable. Always on the list when we’re in town!!
Amazing taste of pizza, it worth to wait. Of course I recommend it
Absolutely awesome deep dish pizza !!!
Road trip from Boston well worth it
Some of the best pizza I have ever eaten!!! Great service!!
Brand new into Chicago and still lagging from the flight I stepped into Giordano's, intending to place a to-go order. The atmosphere was so inviting I had to investigate. Amidst the perfect amount of light falling on squeaky clean surfaces, I took a comfortable seat at the spacious bar located in the center of the tornado of mouth watering smells. Steven promptly took my order and was attentive but not annoying as I enjoyed my I.P.A. and awaited the best deep dish pizza I have had (at that point). The service was A+, as was the entire experience.

I ate at Giordano’s for the first time on Sunday, Nov. 12, 2023. When we (I went with a work colleague) walked inside the restaurant we were given a 20-minute wait for our table. However, much to our pleasant surprise, the wait was only about 5 minutes. Even though the wait was short, we still had time to order ahead. Once we got to our table, the wait staff was very friendly and accommodating. Even though I just ordered water, they kept my glass full and were pleasant.
Even though we did order ahead, it took about 50 minutes from the time we sat down to get our deep dish pizzas. We both ordered the smallest size as I opted for the pesto chicken. I found my pie to be pretty good. What stood out to me was that the crust had a slightly sweet taste to it that I enjoyed.
I believe I paid approximately $15 for my pizza. I would say the value is decent. A deep dish pizza is definitely a novelty item and we were in the heart of downtown Chicago so I thought the price was just about right. I would return. 🍕
Went while visiting the area for a conference. Hard part is parking in downtown Chicago. But if you’re able to park in the street or find a lot or garage, this place is worth it. We went on a Saturday night and they were just the right kind of busy. Not a huge dining room but people were constantly coming in and going. Wait staff did a great job for all of the people.
Food was delicious. We ordered a sampler appetizer with a little bit of everything. All tasted great. Also ordered a thin crust veggie pizza and a deep dish Chicago (I believe that was the kind of pizza which included pepperoni, peppers and onions). Sauce had a good flavor.
Be prepared for cooking times if you go because deep dish takes a little longer than other types of pies. But if you have the time, it’s a great place to eat!
We ate at the Giordano's location on Michigan Avenue today as we couldn't cross the street to go to the restaurant originally booked weeks in advance due to all of the Chicago Marathon traffic blocking us. The best was made out of an unfortunate situation, and we had some awesome, Chicago-style deep dish pizza instead. This location is definitely less crowded than the original Giordano's on N Rush St. The pizza was as great as ever!
When visiting Chicago, you have to get deep dish pizza, and Giordano's is a solid choice. We split a medium of The Special among 3 people, and one slice made a meal! Admittedly, we started with the Calamari appetizer and wine (I had a decent Malbec) while we waited the 40 minutes for our pizza to cook. I got a small box for a slice that I enjoyed the next morning for breakfast.
We dined on weeknight and sat at the bar for immediate seating. Service was good but seemed stretched thin to cover all the customers, and the atmosphere was somehow both chaotic and a little dull. Overall it was a nice time, and I'd be happy to return if others wanted to go.
