A Chicago Favorite Since 1974!
"The thing about pizza is that like everything good, it has to have an evolution. To stay the same means to go backward. It wasn't my mother or my brother and myself who invented the pizza we serve here. The recipe probably began with our great, great, great, great, great-grandmother. You ask how long it took to develop the recipe. I'd have to say 200 to 300 years. ... more

Stuffed pizzas take 30-40 minutes to bake, so it's a good idea to call and place your order ahead of time.
Editorial Reviews from the web

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 ...

more cheese than you can healthfully imagine and a very tender crust. the sauce isnt my favorite but i mean it is derived from a vegetable so what are you going to do
Best pizza in Chicago!

I've lived in Chicago most of my life and if I could only have one pizza, it would be Giordano's. I usually order the thin crust with sausage and mushroom though of course you need to make time for the stuffed pizza as well. It's delicious and will feed you for days. Yes, there are a number of memorable pizzerias in Chicago but for me, Giordano's is the best of the bunch. Enjoy!
Worst delivery pizza
brought to you by
Citysearch
Maybe pizza is good when dining in the restaurant but one that was delivered to my door was the worst I've ever had. Crust was very hard, no crunch to it. It was burned. It was supposed to be thin crust - it was much thicker than any other thin crust pizza I've ever tasted. Cheese was burned and hard. It was a first and last time I ate there. Greek salad was pretty good.

they have these checkered tablecloths like everyones at a picnic. in reality youre sitting inside a restaurant on randolph street surrounded by those faux old-time photos of italian-looking people. but whatever; whoever giordano was im pretty sure he wasnt an interior decorator. giordanos does pizza and they do pizza well. their servings are huge considering how much you pay. i ordered the small ...

Terrible service. All the waitress was interested in was the Spanish channel on tv and talking to her friends. Tacky looking decor and the worst deep dish pizza I have ever tasted with an overcooked crust.

Fun place with good pizza
brought to you by

Giordano's is an overall fun place to go. The pizza is good, but super filling. Easy to order too much. We were there a couple of times (weekend night and weekday lunch) while we were in Chicago and both times we got the small stuffed cheese pizza. There were 2 of us and we could barely get down 2 pieces each. We just gave the rest away both times. They don't skimp on the cheese that is for ...

We are from the SF Bay Area, and have been to Chicago several times. We all love Giordano's. It is the one place that is a must visit when in your city. One one visit, our son ate their three nights straight. We even had is shipped home once. When we used Anderson Consultants out of Chicago, I had them bring Giordanos to our work location in SF and we used the cafeteria ovens to bake them. The consultants ...

If not for the pizza, come to say you've been. Good pizza, long wait, low prices. Beats Numero Uno and Due.

I visited Chicago last August with my family, and our friend's. We ate at your restaurant twice, and could have eaten there everyday. Your pizza is WONDERFUL. I am from west Texas and there is not a place around that comes close to yours. Great.

I've only been to Chicago once, but I ate at two of the best restaurants I could have. One, The Weber Grill. And two, Giordano's Pizza. We came across Giordano's completely by accident and saw the sign that read "Voted Best Pizza in Chicago." So we thought we'd give it a shot. Of course we had deep dish (what else would you have in Chicago) and it was worth the wait! It was the best tasting ...

Excellent Choice
brought to you by

When making a visit to Chicago I always make a stop at Giordano's Pizza. The appetizers are okay with extremely large portions. The salads are good but the highlight is the pizza.
Yes the stuffed pizza takes 30+ minutes but is worth the wait.
Pros
+ Pizza, Salads , Appetizers
Cons
- Long wait
