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.

Very yummy and is a classic deep dish for the tourist looking for the famous Chicago deep dish pizza. We ordered the large fourteen inch pepperoni and it is said to feed four to six people but five of us couldn’t finish it! The serving sizes are huge and the food was delicious. It did take about fourth five minutes for the pizza to come out of the over once we ordered so just keep that in mind when going there to have a sit down meal. Everything was great.

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

Overall a nice experience. A group of 4 friends and I were able to get a deep dish with pepperoni with enough slices to fill us up for $8.50 each. Good service and a clean environment.
