I have to say, on my trip to Chicago, this place was recommended to have "THE BEST" pizza. I was not disappointed! the atmosphere of the restaurant and the superior staff just added to the excellent pizza! This is a MUST when you visit Chicago! More

Quite simply, my favorite restaurant in the world. I go here every time I'm back in Chicago. All other pizza pales in comparison. So much so that I loathe any other restaurant outside of the Chicago area that attempts Chicago style. More

People who traveled to Chicago always boasted about the famous deep dish pizza. I decided I would try this pizza since I was in town. First the place was packed and you barely get in the door let alone move around once you're in. The wait was long, way too long for pizza. I ordered a individual deep dish pizza.... More

My husband and I loooooved going to Giordano's for dinner! We went to the Rush Street location. Our server was okay...not rude, but basically he only came to our table to take our order, bring us our pizza, and bring us the check. No, "are you guys doing okay?" or "do you need more water?" stops in between. Luckily we... More

Really liked the appetizers and the pizza. The wait time was about an hour at 4 PM on a Saturday evening, so that says something. Overall great food. More

In the debate between Gino's East and Giordano's, I'm a Giordano's girl. The pizza is perfection. Deep, cheesy, and so very satisfying. More

Giordano's was our first stop after checking in to our hotel in Chicago. We arrived at 4:15 pm and it was busy, and only got busier after we arrived. It wasn't a long wait to be seated after ordering our pizza. Service was a little slow and I think our pizza order was messed up somehow because it took a... More

This is probably my favorite Chicago deep dish pizza in town just ahead of Lou Malnati's. The pie is thick and filled with flavor. This establishment is right downtown and close to all the action. You won't be dissapointed. More

We were famished after a day of site seeing so after our tour of Willis Tower we ate at the down town location and we were disappointed. Everything tastes good when you are starving right? The deep dish special was what we ordred under advice of our server. The dry pizza crust had no flavor; it was like eating a... More

The pizza is great and very filling, don't over order the size of the pizza is huge. Good flavor, well cooked, flacky crust. The service was unbelievably bad, I had to go on a hunt to pay for our meal. ( I should have just walked out ) but the meal was so good I couldn't. More
