Giordano's

“I went to Giordano’s near South Shore in Chicago with my friend Sam and the experience was really great.”

I went to Giordano’s near South Shore in Chicago with my friend Sam and the experience was really great! We did have a long wait because Deep Dish takes time to prepare, but the pizza was worth that wait. Deep Dish is a staple no matter where you get it in Chicago, however this place has one of the best tasting deep dish pizzas I’ve ever had. The atmosphere was also incredible, tons of pictures and memorabilia on the wall, makes it feel like an old style Italian restaurant. Definitely recommend, but expect a fairly long wait if you order pizza.

“My favorite part about visiting Chicago, deep dish pizza.”

My favorite part about visiting Chicago, deep dish pizza. The breadsticks were alright, but the wings (Calabrian chili honey) were amazing!! Perfect blend of sweet and spicy. The pizza was stuffed with more cheese than should be mathematically possible, my party of 3 was ravenous when we got there, but we still ended up with a lot of leftovers. I think a medium would’ve been fine lol Definitely recommend a visit if you’re in town visiting your UChicago family

“A walk from the science museum, but well worth the trip.”

A walk from the science museum, but well worth the trip. We had the meat, meat and more meat deep dish pie. With 6 adults it was plenty to eat with salad and some breadsticks as appetizers. The deep dish pies take 40 minutes to cook so plan some discussion or apps for the wait.

“If ever there was a reason to visit Chicago, this is surely one of them.”

If ever there was a reason to visit Chicago, this is surely one of them! This is my second time having Giordano's pizza and, just like the first time, it was well worth it. The interior was festooned with lots of original posters from decades ago and added to that Chicago feeling. The service was great and here let me remind you: this pizza is cooked to order, so you will not get served your pizza immediately. That's a good thing, as what you're after here is an authentic, freshly-made deep dish pizza. These things take time, and as I've mentioned, it will be worth it as soon as you take that first bite. I will definitely be back for more.

“They need a parking lot in Hyde Park.”

They need a parking lot in Hyde Park. The food was amazing as well as the customer service. I didn’t get a pic of the pizzas because it took 45 mins and we were hungry. I love this location because as soon as your pizza is done it comes to your table and you can see the smoke from the pizza. That’s how I like it and I also like the bottle cherry Pepsi. I’m not a fan of fountain pops. Please keep Pepsi products!!

Drove from Oklahoma to try this World Famous Deep Dish, and was not disappointed. Young lady waitress was very friendly, told us those pizzas take up to 45 minutes to prepare. We had one of their delicious salads while we waited. Overall, Great Visit!

“Their signature pizza deep dish was crazy tasty but also crazy heavy.”

Their signature pizza deep dish was crazy tasty but also crazy heavy. Their extra thin crust pizza was like biscuit. Very tasty crispy and yummy. Vibes were really good. Music they played was of totally our choice. We were literally singing n eating.

My first try with the Chicago classic deep dish pizza! Yumm! Also my first time having pizza using silverware lol! This place has a nice ambience. Waiting time a little on the higher side. 2 peeps struggle to finish a small one, so choose your size wisely! Do try out the chocolate chip fillet!!

“This was my first time having Chicago deep dish pizza and it was absolutely fantastic.”

This was my first time having Chicago deep dish pizza and it was absolutely fantastic. I was in town for work and visiting a friend so my friend told me we have to eat at Giordano's. We had Kane as a server and he was on point with every aspect of his service. Give that man a raise!! He went above and beyond serving my friend and I. Thank you so much for this lifetime experience and for such amazing food. Especially for my first deep dish. I will remember this forever 😃❤
