Giordano's

Amazing experience today, the pizza fresh and delicious! Even tho it is not dine in, there is space to eat. The space is set up really cool and most importantly clean. While waiting for the pizza, the owner was cleaning the area and the doors as a lot of people were coming in for the orders. Definitely will be coming back here. Also during the week they have $5 slice of pizza!!! The tiramisu was delicious, you have to get it!!!

Went here expecting it to be a sit down place and it was not, but we still decided to order and I am glad we did! The pizza was so delicious, best Chicago Deep Dish I’ve had. I’ll be back in Chicago at the end of the month so best believe I’ll be back!

I ordered a pizza and wings last night and the pizza was burnt the wings were over fried. I called and spoke to Jessica the manager and she was rude and unprofessional. I am very disappointed can’t believe this is Giordanos. I don’t mind paying for good food but this is ridiculous unbelievable.

Alexander, who took my order, was very pleasant and patient and provided excellent customer service. However, the deep-dish veggie pizza I ordered was very salty, which was very disappointing. I was looking forward to having it, especially on a cheat day.

For lunch today, I ordered the Chicago Classic - Tavern Style Pizza for delivery. I will say from the start I was skeptical but decided to give it a chance due to a timely email before lunch today. As expected, I was a little disappointed but at least I tried it. I’ve many a tavern style pizza including cracker crust and Giordano’s version was somewhere in between. I felt like they overcompensated for it by making it a well done pizza. I’m not sure they have the right ovens for this but moving forward I’ll stick to their special or even their Stuffed which is more their wheelhouse.

Order was placed online for delivery, quoted a little over an hour. After an hour an a half, called in and was told that there was a mistake and that our order was being remade and there would be a refund. After about 30 minutes, we were notified that our order was out for delivery. I met them outside and the order was wrong. When I let them know, they said that the order would be remade and a refund would be offered. After another 45 minutes, I called again and was told that it was coming out of the oven and was promptly hung up on. Will not order from this location again.

Giordano’s is easily one of my favorite pizza spots — I can never get enough of it. The pizza is amazing fresh and warm, but I’ll even eat it cold the next day straight from the fridge because I’m too impatient to reheat it! Every style I’ve tried has been excellent, and their deep dish is a true Chicago classic. If I could make one wish, it would be for them to expand their topping options — Italian beef, Italian sausage, shrimp, or even their own creative twist on a stuffed crust would take things to the next level. But honestly, even as it stands, Giordano’s never disappoints. Consistently delicious, rich, and satisfying — highly recommend to anyone who loves real Chicago pizza.

I will give it a 5 because it's my favourite deep dish. However they should let you know that this place has no dine-in options like the other branches. They only have like 8 high seats and a small bar table to eat, which I didn't know when i took my mom there. The small pizza is good for 2-3 people. Love the super veggie, and the garlic parm fries were good.

Our closest Giordano's was no longer, so we were glad to find this carry-out only spot in the Lincolnwood area - Ordering online is easy, but you can also give them a call. We stuck with our usual - a Fresh Spinach stuffed dish dish; this was piping hot, and stayed piping hot until we arrived home. Don't forget to as for paper plates, and the Parm/chili peppers - these are offered upon request. Service was quick and efficient. Small parking lot if available. +Fresh Spinach deep dish +carryout only +small lot available for parking

I went to Giordano's yesterday and ordered their lunch special, which included a small pizza, a salad, and a soup. It was pretty good. Giordano's is always solid, so I had no complaints. I tried the minestrone soup. It was OK--nothing extraordinary, but it was edible. I really like Giordano's pizza. I think they use the most cheese on their pies, and they're the best, so I just wanted to give you guys a heads-up about another Skokie restaurant that's really good. The service was impeccable as usual. The guy was very professional and courteous. Since it's not a sit-down place, the ambiance is just watching the pizzas being made through the big glass. Anyway, have a great day. I recommend trying Giordano's in Lincolnwood--you'll have a wonderful experience.

Hey Giordanos, Long time customer here... new location as you closed Morton Grove.... Time to alert the cook: when the menu says: BBQ Chicken Thin Crust Pizza 23.25 BBQ-basted chicken, bacon, and balsamic onions. Classic hand-stretched dough. Please note that no modifications can be accommodated. You should use BBQ sauce not tomato sauce on the pizza. You should also include bacon and balsamic onions in the toppings. The plain chicken with cheese and tomato sauce mistake we received is just sad.

Great pizza but give them extra time because I waiting over a hour for what was told was 40 minutes.

The pizza and sampler were delicious. The service was great and the ambiance was cool and chill.

This rip off joint should be avoided Ordered a cheese and sausage deep dish. You need a microscope to find the sausage. Total rip off. Just in case you can't find sausage in the picture, it's on the bottom left of the plate.

This place cannot understand that gluten free means gluten free. Several times my celiac family member has gotten ill from ordering gluten free pizza that was either contaminated or just flour dough. Do not reccomend

I haven't had this in so long because the last time i ate here our Pizza was obviously burned but they waited for us to complain to replace it. This was however in a different location and it was 3 years ago. So i decided to give it another try. This time for delivery. I ordered the Deep Dish All Meat abd Extra Thin Chicken Pesto. It was tasty full of flavor. And the crunchiness of the Extra Thin Chicken Pesto. I was actually picking the sides around the pizza. I also had the Parmesan Fries oh so yummy. Cooked perfectly and the right amount of seasoning. Next time i would be trying their wings next time. So there will definitely a next time.

Well let me just tell you, if you haven't tried the giordanos gyro Chicago style stuffed pizza, you just haven't lived. Have you ever had one of those nights when you just don't feel like cooking bug you want something savory- preferably pizza bug with a little pizzazz? Well look no further. This pizza is your one stop shop for deliciousness!! My husband ordered this pizza online- the whole process was very quick, easy and convenient. The day he ordered, they had a 20% off incentive to try the pizza which was a huge bonus because the pizza was already so delicious to begin with. He was quoted that it would take about 40-45 mins to get ready. He stopped by to pick it up and it was ready to go. One thing I would suggestion for the future of the company is that Giordano should send out a text for online orders when the pizza is ready for pickup so that people don't hang around. This new era is all about convenience and efficiency. Gyros pizza is incomplete with tzatziki sauce and some of the places I've ordered gyro pizza from has been stingy on the sauce. Well, not this place! Giordanos provides us with two small containers of the tzatziki sauce and two small containers of chopped onions and cucumbers #giordanosforthewin. The pizza itself is full of flavor. We ordered a large and we (4 of us) barely ate half of because it was so hearty. So be prepared to have leftovers for the next day. The pizza is stuffed with cheese (no brainer there) and contained plenty of gyro meat. The pizza stuffing itself was probably almost an inch thick so it's a very filling pizza. It is flavorful- I personally loved that they spread some garlic butter on the crust which was my personal favorite and the cherry on top of the cake. I highly recommend this to everyone. The salad pictured here is not from giordanos!

This is a really small location that is doing pickup and delivery only. I think that's a pretty good gig as i think that is sufficient for many people. We've ordered pizza from here a couple times now, and have been very happy with the results on all the deep dish pizzas and the thin pizzas. The staff is courteous as well. Good spot. My family prefers it to Lou Malnati's nearby.

Worst guy working the phone on Wednesday June 16th at 9 PM. Gave me a salad with bacon and chicken I it after I specified I needed vegetarian. Upon calling back called me a liar and hung up the phone. Never again visiting this worst location. This franchise knew how to take care of customers. I worked there as an employee for several years. No wonder Lou Malnati's has got their number!!!

This location is carry out only. I'm not sure why they chose a spot right down the street from Lou Malnati's, but I'm happy they're so close to our house. We used their online ordering, which was very user-friendly. Our order was ready in the promised time, and the stuffed pizza was as good as their other locations. (Delicious!) Hubby is a fan of toasted ravioli, which can be hard to find in Chicago, so he tried that, plus the Italian market deli sandwich with a side salad. He enjoyed it all...and said we'll be back. The only problem we had was that we are moving and have already packed our kitchen, so we requested paper plates and plastic silverware, which they offer. Neither was in the bag when we got home. Minus one star for that.

For a typical and unique experience in chicago, giordano's pizza is a very good place, the meat lover pizza was my personal favorite. The deep dish pizzas are great. However waiting an hour for a pizza after half an hour wait was a bit too much

I have a love and hate relationship with Giordanos. I like their pizza a lot but their wait times are always inaccurate and that has prompted me to write a review and also look at other options that offer dip dish pizza in the community such as Pequods for example. We order from here monthly but for the past three years in a row we have ordered from here for the superbowl and without fail it has been a disaster. Each time I have ordered 3+ hours in advance and i still have needed to wait 50 plus minutes in their mini area. Its pretty standard, they usually tell me it will be 10 mins wait, i say sure, i wait waaaay longer than that, they dont care to apologize, and I walk out of there having missed part of the game only to go home with cold food. This SB, I ordered 2 personal pizza, 1 large cheese thin crust, mozzarella triangles, cheesey bread and french fries. Everything but the personal pizzas was so cold. The cheese of the triangles wouldnt even stretch and it was solid. The cheesey bread was solid as well and not even warm. They had obviously cooked everything a head of time and later put the personal pizzas in the oven to bake. I probably would have been better off if I had ordered ready pizza from the grocery store. Will I return, maybe but not anytime soon.

Well today I order from my favorite place I ordered one of my favorite dishes wish is a roast beef sandwich to pick it up but, the person who took my order was rude she basically make my order her way because she ask me if I want soup or salad wish I ask it comes with soup she said yes wish I don't think so but I said gimme minestrone soup so. She tell me If I want spice or sweet pepper I said giardiniera anyway she make my order her way wish I really disappointed no fries giardiniera use to come on the side not in the sandwich I better go back to lou malnati's to get my food please owner contact me back I'm really disappointed

I'm addicted. I have been for 35 years. I know it makes no sense. This isn't real Italian pie, farm to table or even healthy for me. But damn it's good. Two slices of deep stuffed mana and bam. Bedtime endorphins start singing lullabies and grins a wide. There have been copies I've adored, Bacino's, Edwardo's, Patxi's but this is the original. I know it has literally made me who I am. There are 10lbs of me solely composed of Giordano's. And they might be the happiest part of my being.

Deep dish pizza is one of my favorite things to eat! However I'll never be able to decide which I like more, giordanos or Lou malnatis! My family and I picked giordanos and we got one deep dish, one thin crust and the cheesy garlic bread. We did different toppings for half of the pizzas and they got the order correct! We ordered it around 1220 and it came by 130, which was right on time! The food was great as always. The cheesy garlic bread had the right amount of garlic blended with the cheese. Thin crust is also good here too. I know everyone goes crazy for the deep dish but just incase someone was wondering about thin crust (:

The pizza at Giordano is amazing and it's usually 5 stars however I am ranking three stars as the staff that picks up the phone and places the order is rude. I called to place an order and the young lady that answered had a awful attitude and I was willing to give them another shot however when i picked up the pizza it was even worse. If you order during the week you are all good however on Sunday you will get awful service.

Best Chicago style pizza their pan pizza is great and I also really like their extra thin crust pizza very Chicago just get sausage and cheese their sausage is great. You have to have the house salad with the lemon vinaigrette wonderful. It's a 50 minute drive o e way to the closest Giordano when I get hungry for their pizza I have made the drive

Zero stars. Corporate should step it up and staff accordingly. 2 hours after order placed to find out that it is just being noticed. Feel bad for the manager on duty. Very disappointed.

Never again. This location in particular was just terrible. Ordered delivery from here - waited two hours for the order to arrive. We had ordered the meatballs appetizer and what we received was one meatball and chunks of meat and string cheese. It was clearly partially eaten. The pizza was cold and not what we had ordered. Disappointed.

This is a very nice pizza place! Loved their garlic sticks and their deep dish pizza! I could only have a slice since it was very heavy with mozzarella!! You need to try this once if you never did!

Always such amazing pizza from their team! Best place to order just outside of the city.

I take back what I said earlier about this location.... I had ordered a pizza from here the day of the Superbowl where they were running a promotion of getting the NEXT pizza for 30% off if we showed a receipt..by the end of March 31st. Nowhere in the Rules and Conditions said it had to be a PAPER receipt.. I had ordered it online so I had the email confirmation/coupon on my PHONE... although I had saved the receipt...as a safeguard..having little ones..in the house..that receipt went MIA... luckily I still had the receipt I had received via email from them... with all the same information as the paper receipt.. Including the order no.. etc... Well when I called to find out if they accepted the phone version, they blatantly said NO I had to have the original receipt... meanwhile I contacted the one in Rosemont and another one in the Irving Park location and BOTH said that the phone receipt would be fine and all I had to do was show them my phone.... In this day of age where everything is now in one's smartphones.. I find it a huge inconvenience and more than likely they are setting up deterrence to prevent you from honoring the coupon....if this is the type of customer service they are offering, then they just lost a customer and I will place all my future orders on a more customer friendly franchise owner.

A very good Italian beef!! A very flavorful sandwich, that surprised me. In my opinion a certain competitor has so far been unsurpassed when it comes to Italian beef. However Giordanos is not very far behind. A good sized sandwich. Plenty of beef , will have two dinners out of mine. The meat was cooked to the proper level. Retained it beefy flavor and juicy texture. The meat was tender, and flavorful all alone. Combine it with the au jus and some sweet gardenaire and you get a very nice flavor palate with a bit of a black pepper after taste. The bread was a soft Italian no crispy crust. Held the juices well, and held up all the way through. I hate it when the wet bread falls apart while you're trying to eat. I can see enjoying this sandwich outside on the porch with a (large) glass of a robust Lambrusco!! But I wont "WINE" about it. That is all!

Excellent Pizza we love it till this day. Great service and helpful staff. The wait staff was patient and caring. Plan to go back

Not only does Giordano's have the best pizza, but the girl who took my order in the front, Gail, was so sweet and accommodating. Love this location!

Great pizza ! Love spinach stuffed pizza! I called the order in from work and it was ready when I went to pick it up. Delicious pizza! And the service was great :-)

Pizza wasn't hot when received so it obviously wasn't too fresh. Barely any seats inside. Workers seem like they make minimum wage = minimum effort. Taste was alright aside from the temperature of the "fresh pizza"

As another reviewer said "done never again" Food is garbage I keep thinking it's ok, close. But actually the montrose location is just a little further much nicer crew, better food! Don't throw your money out here.

Great people good food and great service honestly I rather go to a pizza place then these new restaurants who steal your credit card information

Ordered online, paid online and received confirmation. Waited TWO HOURS and called in store. They said they "had problems with their system". One would of expected a call back from store at minimum. Store employee was rude and did even care. Well, it's back to Lou Malanatis which is down the street.

This is just a carry out location. They offer a nice variety of entree and appetizers too. I try to avoid meat and dairy most of the time and I really enjoy that they have a couple good salads that's i can choose from, to meet those preferences. The pizza is very good the times I've had it, I'd much prefer it over Lou's down the street.

We always get the family spaghetti with marinara sauce followed by the chopped salad and the occasional large thin crust and it is always good. It is a place more suited for takeout and delivery then eat in so we usually order delivery. So beware the place will not accommodate large parties, but I have eaten there solo when I was very hungry. Good place will return.

Pizza flavor was good. We could tell the sauce, cheese and other ingredients were fresh and high quality. However the pizza fell down in two categories. We ordered a deep dish and thin crust to compare. The deep dish was supposed to be sausage and cheese. Where was the sausage? In a huge pie of cheese there way maybe a little spec of sausage every third or fourth bite. It was really dissapointing. They totally shorted us an ingredient. The thin crust was also very soggy. We might try extra thin next time to see if it does better. Seems like maybe it should go in the oven once it's delivered to crisp up the crust a bit.

One Tuesday afternoon we were surprised with a warm and delicious treat. Giordano's on Lincoln Ave. was purchased. Thanks to their friendly staff. We enjoyed a veggie pizza (spinach, olive, broccoli, and onion). As a side dish we had fried calamari. Having fed five people easily. It left a smile on our faces. The filling and tasty meal left us all with a familiar satisfaction. Comforted by our meal, we went on with are day in smiles. Thank you Giordano's and thank you Staff!

This was the 2nd and last Chicago pizza place I went to on a recent trip to the city. Some guys I was with had tried Giordano's before and were very excited to get it again so I was very excited for it as well. The wait time was normal as usual, 45 minutes, for a large deep dish with pepperoni, sausage and extra cheese (which came out to almost $40). When I got the pizza the first thing I noticed was how heavy it was, good lord it was a thick pie. 15 minutes after we got the hotel and the cheese came off the pie just like in the photos for the most part! In terms of the flavour however it was definitely more overall better then Pequod's but the dough had almost the opposite problem of Pequod's in which it felt undercooked. The toppings weren't as good as Pequod's and arguably neither was the quality of the cheese but as a full pizza it was definitely better even though I personally won't buy it again. If you want a stereotypical Chicago deep dish then Giordano's is essentially that and you basically get what's on the gifs of every super cheesy go-za on the Internet so its worth a visit if you're going for that reason.

I'm very happy we have a Giordano's in Lincolnwood, don't have to drive far. Great pizza, easy parking, very convenient location. Wish they had some coupons etc.

Let me first start off by saying Location, location, location. This spot is so easy to get in and out of! I am so happy that they opened a carryout store so close to my house. After speaking with the young girl in the front, Becca. I found out they deliver and cater too! I have been going to the Rogers Park location for years, but I think I might have to split my time between both locations! Best deep dish ever, and their buffalo wings are delicious too!

I didn't know they don't have restaurant in this locations. But the veggie deep dish was delicious.

Recently went to Giordanos on Lincoln Ave for a tiramisu cake. I was given a tiramisu with fuzz. Called Giordanos immediately and spoke with the manager Jennifer. Her first response to me was, it was impossible to have fuzz and had to be ice. WRONG! It was old and when I had a piece the tiramisu, it tasted sour and the side of it looked grey. The manager Jennifer did not apologize and made it seem something like this could never happen. I felt as is if she was accusing me of lying. I went back to Giordanos to confront Jennifer about her terrible customer service and to show her the disgusting fuzzed tiramisu. She grabbed it and said it looks like an ice crystal and said she would take a picture and disappeared to the back without any apology or remorse for serving unsafe food. Long story short, I was very disappointed in this new location. As a result of the poor customer service and because of the incompetence of this manager and her clear disregard for food safety, I will be contacting the FDA so that other patrons do not have to go through something like this.

Ordered a entree size salad and got the same size dressing as a small salad. Beef sandwich w/peppers. Skimpy on the beef and peppers were hard

Incredibly rude staff. The worst customer service I have experienced in a long time. The pizza was rubbery and greasy. A truly awful branch of the otherwise decent chain.

Notice: This is only a review of the service at this carryout only location. If you have lived in Chicago for any length of time I assume you've eaten at a Giordano's restaurant before. Personally, I eat pizza at least once a week. There are half a dozen pizza joints I regularly order from (depending on the style of pizza I'm in the mood for.) I hadn't ordered from Giordano's in over a decade - though my office frequently orders from the downtown location, so I'm familiar with the taste. Not one of my top ten Chicago pizzas, but when this new carryout location opened near me and sent me a coupon for $5 off, I was willing to give it a try. Unfortunately when I walked in with the coupon they said it was only good for internet orders. After a couple weeks, the opportunity arose for me to order online. Again unfortunately their online system would not accept the coupon. I naively assumed that when I arrived to pick up the $30+ pizza they would just apply the $5 credit since they had just sent the coupon out to homes throughout Lincolnwood & Skokie in order to draw customers to their new location. Instead the girl at the counter asked if I had brought the coupon with me. I said no, I did that last time when they wouldn't take it, but now I was coming from work so didn't have it with me. She said "aw, that's too bad" and that without the coupon I was out of luck. "Maybe next time" she added. (I guess she thought I was lying that I had one of the thousands of coupons they mailed out or that I was lying that their system wouldn't accept it????? At least that's how she made me feel.) So I turned around and walked out, leaving the unpaid pizza for them to eat. When I got home, I tore up and threw away the coupon so I wouldn't be tempted to try a third time. In the end, they not only wasted the money spent printing and mailing the coupons, but they lost a cooked order and a potentially frequent customer. I've said this before on Yelp, but there are easily a dozen pizza alternatives within five miles of my house. Why spend my dollars anywhere that doesn't want me as a customer or treats me like a chump? With Malnatti's literally next door to them - where the pizza is better (their butter crust is easily one of my top five), cheaper, and they treat customers properly (no surprise why they've been in the same location over 40 years), I give this drive-thru Giordano's location no more than a year before it's gone like the last carryout in that spot.

Shredded cheese not stored in a metal pan in the cold well. It was in a white plastic tub sitting partially out of the cold well so it was basically at room temp. Sanitizing towels stored on counter instead of sanitizer solution. Chemicals stored on a high shelf. Food is good and staff is nice but sometimes misses items on an order.

So glad they open in Lincolnwood ..I used to drive to Morton grove for my stuffed pizza but now it's so close..they also deliver ....good staff and great service .

This location is awesome! I took my kids out for ice cream and they kept screaming for pizza and I turned around at there it is a Giordano's! The kids were so happy so we stopped in. The employees were so sweet to me and the kids. To top it all off the pizza was done so fast with 2 toddlers waiting isn't always the best but they made us feel very welcome and got the pizza out in such a perfect time. Thank you Giordanos

Just had delivery from this location and it was the best. The manager, Adrianne was super nice and so helpful and the food was just as ordered and delicious! So glad they opened a location near Skokie.
