“Best Chicago deep dish I've had. Great service. Head to bar for quicker seating if you have a small group.”

“Naomi was a Joy. It was a busy lunch, yet she was professional, kind, and did an excellent job. Food was out of this world.”

“Our service was amazing. We ordered the ‘Mamas Meatball Sub,’ the ‘Chicken Parm w/ spaghetti,’ and the ‘Italian Beef Sandwich.’ Our server, Izzy was very helpful and quick to take our order update us on our food and refill our drinks. I definitely recommend eating here, they’ve got lots of great options besides the Deep Dish Pizza they’re famous for.”

“Scrumptious deep-dish pizza. The one-hour wait was worth it.”

“Izzy was the waitress tonight and she was by far the best one I have ever had from any restaurant an any state. She was polite and had the refills without having to ask for it. She also served the first slice and the cheese pull was great. Pizza was ready to eat when it arrived at a great temperature, I had sausage and that was the best sausage I have ever had. The crust was cooked to perfection and wasn't burnt. I would definitely recommend them and would eat here again in a heartbeat.”

“Service was polite, professional, happy and attentive. Food was delicious, I've been eating Giordanos for 40 years, still delicious. We tried the mozzarella sticks, beef sandwich, stuffed special pizza. I had one of their cocktails, can't remember which one, but we were all satisfied with the food. They even had a photographer taking pictures (which I bought) and that was good quality too. We came for lunch after going to the Skydeck across the street. So it was a great day”

“Great pizza, various styles available including deep dish Chicago pizza. Note that deep dish does take about 45 min from the time the order is placed.”

“I visited Chicago for the first time this weekend, I heard so many great things about this restaurant. I’m so glad i decided to try it. The food was good, I ordered the cheese triangles, the garlic bread & a 10inch deep dish. The only negative comment I have is that the pizza took a long time to come out. We got the appetizers in less than 10 minutes but the pizza took about 45 minutes to come out. We noticed other customers that were already there when we got seated also were waiting for their orders as well.”
