What People Are Saying About Giordano's
Featured Review

In Short – Red-and-white tablecloths, family-sized tables and friendly staff contribute to the convivial atmosphere for those dining in, but this popular local restaurant chain is a favorite for takeout, too. Thin-crust pizzas are cut in squares, heavy on mozzarella, easy on sauce. Stuffed pies are flaky-crusted with ingredients that include fresh pineapple, shrimp and classic pepperoni, onion, green pepper and the like. Other popular plates include sandwiches (Italian beef, sausage, meatball), salads and a plethora of pasta dishes.
Editor's Tips
- The Extras:
- Having a party? Have Giordano's cater. In addition to pizzas, there are party trays with pastas, salads and sandwiches plus a selection of desserts.
- Know Before You Go:
- Stuffed pizzas take 30-40 minutes to bake, so it's a good idea to call and place your order ahead of time.

Worst Service in Chicago
by shaun323478 at Citysearch
I love Giordano's pizza, but this particular restaurant is absolutely dreadful. Front counter staff are the rudest employees I have ever encountered and the wait staff is not much better. Because I like the pizza so much I have been there 5 or 6 times and ordered takeout several more times, but the constant horrible service has driven me away for good (and I live 2 blocks away). Terrible management and terrible service (still good pizza though).
- Pros: Pizza
- Cons: Service and everything else

Good Pie
by tbwus at Citysearch
Consistently great pizza. The staff has always been very attentive and the pie is always good. You can?t go wrong with any of the Giordano?s.

Best Pizza I've had so Far
by ngh123 at Citysearch
I'm from Los Angeles and during a recent trip to Chicago I stopped by this place for pizza. Being from California where the Pizza is mostly greasy and and bad crust I'd have to say this was the best pizza I've had so far!! Maybe someone from Chicago has had better but for me this pizza was delicious! It came made just right! I wish we had pizza like this in Los Angeles!
- Pros: The Stuffed Pizza
- Cons: Service could have been just a bit quicker

No Longer Something Special.
by al_capone at Citysearch
This restaurant used to be one of my top choices for taking out-of-town guests for a sample of a thick and juicy Chicago style pizza. During my last three or four visits, they're service has been poor, and the food has been terrible. I have consistently received almost no attention to my table, despite there not being many people in the restaurant. Also, the pizza has arrived cold, with the cheese only half melted consistently within the last few visits. This place doesn't even deserve a 1 star rating, anymore. Definitely go somewhere else.

It's all in the sauce
by peter_behle at Citysearch
Casual, kid-friendly, old-fashioned pizza parlor atmosphere where deep-dish pizza is supreme. Salads are a nice size and they're surprisingly made with romaine lettuce rather than the typical iceberg. Skip the way-too-sweet ranch dressing and go for the Caesar.
- Pros: Great pizza, Good for kids
- Cons: Spotty service
