Gigio's — neighborhood italian in Evanston. Nothing about this place is trying to impress you, and that's the point. Nothing here has been watered down. Good value, no long waits.

“Plus they have great music playing and they're willing to make Veggie burritos on request off menu”

“We went for a group event and ordered 3 extra large pizzas.”
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.”
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!!!

“Never disappoints.”
Never disappoints. I buy it for a friend who lives further west. He is from Evanston and enjoys the pepperoni pizza (half baked) whenever he can get it!

“This is a pizzeria that can accommodate a fair number of dine-in customers.”
This is a pizzeria that can accommodate a fair number of dine-in customers. The service is pretty quick and the food delicious. A great neighborhood place to eat. The prices are reasonable and parking should not be a problem. It is also located within walking distance of the Davis El station.

“Old school pizza joint that is so delicious.”
Old school pizza joint that is so delicious. They probably have the best pizza by the slice in Chicagoland area. Also their tacos are very good too. They’re not traditional style but American style with lettuce tomato and cheese but they still hold their own very well. Must have and highly recommended if you’re in Evanston !!

“Authentic New York style pizza and experience.”
Authentic New York style pizza and experience. Local pizzeria with checkered tablecloth on the table and juicy oily cheese. Cheap. I would always recommend them over other Papa Johnes or dominos
