Clearly, Elizabethtown, Kentucky (yes -- the location of Cameron Crowe's film "Elizabethtown") is not know as the "Pizza Capital" with its Pizza Huts, Papa John's and Domino's, but I have had more flavorful pies at Impellizari's and Wick's in Louisville. ”

One of the few restaurants that the thin pizza is as good if not better than the exquisite stuffed. ”

have always had incredible service, and most importantly the pizza is incredibly great, I would pay anything for it. ”
- “
My husband went to the bar to order a beer but couldn't get the bartender's attention - because this bartender had his back to the customers more than he faced the multitudes of potential customers. ”

any people eat at Giordanos for there deep dish, but I like the thin crust. ”

The rudeness and inattentiveness experienced was beyond the situation; any good restaurant with attentive management would be prepared to handle the crowd of customers and would hire a staff that could handle the situation. ”
- “
for those who complained about the service, let's be real here: when all you want is a nice slice of hot cheesy pie, the fact that there isn't some snobby waiter in a tie, waiting on you hand and foot and breathing down your neck, really shouldn't matter. ”
- “
At Giordano's we were in heaven from the service to the fresh qualtiy and simply ”
