“fast service, friendly peeps, good prices, yummy comfort food. chicago dog was great, as was the italian beef (best i've had in evanston), gordita, & meatball sub. i haven't had the pizza, but maybe tomorrow 😁. i think gigios will be on the foodie list for all future trips to evanston.”
“The food is really great here. Great place to pop in for quick slice. The house made sausage is really good!”
“We went for a group event and ordered 3 extra large pizzas. Pizza was NY style; piping hot and foldable. The sauce was good, the crust was chewy but not tough. The place is super casual and serves pizza by the slice.”
“When I don’t know what to eat I go to Gigio’s! Chill place in Evanston, the crew is pretty friendly and they work hard. I always go for the single slices for a quick lunch. The classic cheese pizza never misses either, their dough is perfect just make sure to ask for extra baking time if you want it crispier. They also do fire birria tacos! The whole menu is great you’ll always find something good here 👍🏻”
“Been a favor of our families for years. If we could give it higher than five stars, we would the pizza is excellent. The Mexican food is excellent. The salads are fresh ingredients. We can’t say enough good things!!!”
“Classic pizzeria with gluten free options, unique appetizers and classic sandwiches”
“ETA: They've pared down the menu and kept all the good stuff. Remains the best place to get a slice. Really good NYC style pizza. The veggie taco is a real steal for the price. Well made, with a mushroom/green pepper/onion filling and loaded with cheese. AND they serve a really well made Impossible Burger. Get it double, with extra cheese and ask them to put on grilled onions and mushrooms. Trust me. ;-) A really good Pizzeria, that also has tacos/burritos, sandwiches, burgers, salads. What's not to like? Good deal for lunch. Plus they have great music playing and they're willing to make Veggie burritos on request off menu. This is such a wonderful neighborhood pizzeria.”
“Always good customer service and can order food2your perfection.”
“Great place for a quick slice or fast takeout. Haven’t had anything that I didn’t like yet”
