Giordano's

This is our favorite pizza in Chicago. Get there early and be ready to wait for the best deep dish around. The bar is small, but fun to hang and watch a game and people watch. Great location and service. A great experience for the whole family.

I love the deep dish pizza here at Giodanos recommend it very highly especially if your from out of town.

Not having been to Giordano's in many years on Rush Street, I thought I'd play the game to get there on my visit in August 2009. Luckily, like you, I read a lot on the web about the restaurant in this day, parking, coupons and anything else I could find about "the experience."



I found a site that has 3 useful coupons, one of which I used, when ordering my Giordano's pizza on Rush Street. (You may find the coupons here: http://www.hotcoupons.com/cgi-shl/cook/display?rn=2610144&mkt=US%28IL%28CHI%2814%29CSW%2800%29%29%29&fgs=1Abcdefghl&id=IO478B254072943&pid=HC&pfst=N)



Here's how I played the game to get the experience, and this may help you too: I rode around on a Saturday afternoon near the restaurant until I found a park and pay spot right in front of Giordano's. My friend sat in the car and waited while I put our name on the list for dine in. I was advised it would be about 1 hour and 15 mins for two people.



I took a menu out to the car, we decided on our meal, and 25 minutes later (as the restaurant staff advised), I went in to order our meal at the pre-order counter. You do not pay at this time, only order, and you have to wait 25 min to make the order. I then went back to the car and waited. I had not paid for parking yet, as there is a 2 hour parking limit. The pre-order was a smart move I learned from someone on another web site and it proved extremely helpful. If you put yourself on a waiting list for dine in and do not pre-order, you are certain to wait, on a busy day, 1 hour for your pizza after being seated.



When our name was called (the announcements could be heard outside), my friend then paid 1 hour for our parking. We got seated and ordered beverages. I found it nice that if you were called and did not hear the first time, you'll be called again and you'll get a "last call" as a final measure to get you in.



We gave the pre-order slip to the waitress and it actually took around 15 min to get the pizza, although we had pre-ordered it much earlier. So, even though you'd think the pizza should have been immediately ready after all of the wait and pre-order, it was not. But, 15 mins of waiting was not bad given that it would have been an hour without doing the pre-order. The waitress was not miss personality, but hey, we were more there for the food.



The pizza, as expected, was delicious and hot! The coupon gave us a few dollars off which made it a decently priced meal for two.



Thanks for reading my review.

This was one busy restaurant especially for a Sunday night! We had to pre order our pizza and we still waited 40 min to be seated. We waited around the crowded lobby. I will say the pizza was excellent. We ordered a small 3 topping deep dish for $17.55 and it was there minutes after we sat down. The pizza was enough for 3 or 4 people. Waitstaff was efficient but not overly friendly.

I might recommend takeout but not dining in.
