I was very disappointed to have our heart shaped pizza brought to us over cooked and driead! There was barely any sauce & the little sauce that was on it was burnt. The crust was over cooked to the point that our silverwear could barely cut through it. One can anticipate a busy restaurant overseeing a thing or two but to bring out food in that condition was repulsive. We asked to speak to the manager and Ms. Jackie Medoza told us the reason the pizza was that way was due to the dough not rising enough. She asked if we would ... read more

Local favorite serves up stuffed and thin-crust pizzas as well as a variety of Italian favorites. – 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, green pepper and the like. Other p... read more

Good Pizza – Try the fried mushrooms. The mushrooms were fresh and juicy with crunchy breading. We had the pepperoni and sausage deep dish pizza. It was loaded and quite good. We got the small (2 of us) but could not finish. Like all deep dish pizzas, the portions are huge. We didn't realize that they had personal sized ones until we glanced over at our neighboring table. Cooking time was 20-30 minutes. The waitress was friendly and helpful.

Don't bother visiting! – What an incredibly disappointing experience I had on a recent Friday night visit to this restaurant! Because this was my first visit to Chicago, I was anxious to sample a little of the world-famous Chicago pizza; sadly Giardano's was a simply horrible experience!! We had a very, very, very long wait in an incredibly packed lobby. When we called ahead and placed our name on a waiting list, we were told there was a 45 minute wait. The wait inside their lobby ended up being an additional forty minutes!!... read more

The worst service I have ever had - you thought NY was bad... – The service was bad - the bartender told one of our party that she had nerve ordering a lemon drop on a friday night, he should have just said I don;t know how to make them because he really did not....and only put vodka and cranberry in the cosmo's...I ordered a Gray Goose cape cod and it was lighter in color (red)than the cosmos...We were told a 20 minute wait it was longer - that was not even the issue...the bartender was rude and kept wiping the sweat off hi... read more

Warning, you can spend your money better elsewhere – Please take some friendly advice and avoid this chain. In particular the Prudential Plaza restuarant. Here are the reasons why. The food is very average (more on that later). The service is often obnoxious. Specifically, I once called and was placed on hold for three times for over three minutes each. Yes, I did end up elsewhere that time. We have tried it on a number of occassions because it is near where I work but most of us have agreed it is not worth the convience. Th... read more

Great Pizza! – We just returned from our first trip to Chicago. Everyone I asked, recommended Giordano's for authentic Chicago Style Pizza. I must say, we were not disappointed. The pizza was excellent and I can not wait until our next trip to Chicago, I'm already craving it! The only negative is the service. While our waiter went through the standard motions of taking our order and bringing our food, I felt like we were not welcomed and he wanted us to get out of there ASAP. I'm hoping his actions were just him and not refl... read more
