Up this week …
Giordano’s Pizza (Chicago, IL)
When asked a former Chicago resident what do while out there the Architecture Foundation River Cruise which I already wrote a post on and Giordano’s Pizza. I decided to have Giordano’s Pizza my last day out there. I ordered their Baby Pepperoni which is their stuffed pizza in an individual size. I have been to Uno’s chain resturant before but I don’t remember those pizzas being like this. I got this pizza and thought they left my pepperoni off. I wasn’t going to complain because I was hungry.
I pulled it apart and found my pepperoni though. ahhh. Yeah now I remembered these pizzas were build with toppings, cheese, and then sauce. Brian couldn’t believe I forgot about this … come on … like I have room in my head to remember stuff like that in my brain these days!
The pizza was really good. The crust was way different than the pizza crusts I know and love. I am really glad I gave Giordano’s a try while out in Chicago. I would go there again for sure. If you are in Chicago, take my friend’s recommendation and give Giordano’s a try!
Do you like Chicago style pizza? Leave me a comment and let me know!
I have never had their pizza and I’ve lived here my whole life!! 🙂
You are missing out!! I think you now have a dinner idea for this weekend or next week! 😉 (The salad was amazing too but I didn’t take pictures of that! LOL)
OH MY, that looks SO good. Now, I’m going to have to make a pizza soon!
When I went to Chicago for my honeymoon in 2005, we stood in line for an hour to get some of this stuff. Giordano’s is the epitome of Chicago-style pizza, for sure!
Maybe that is why delivery took so long!! I was so beat, I just had it delivered! haha
Ahhhhhhhh I’m insanely jealous right now. I ♥ ♥ ♥ Giordano’s pizza to death. I’ve tried a few different deep dish pizzas in Chicago and theirs is by far my fave. The Italian Beef is really good too.
I love their pizza – haven’t had it in a decade since I moved down to Atlanta. I always got it stuffed with spinach, though. SO good and deadly.
I thought about getting the stuffed crust. I love stuffed crust pizzas but with just me and my last day there, I couldn’t see wasting good pizza! Next time, I will have to order earlier or buy for more than just me so I can try the stuffed crust!
Chicago is my home town but I live in Dallas now. Giordano’s is on my must-have list when ever we go home to visit. I loooove Chicago style pizza. And now I’m craving some. Yum, yum!
I’d much rather have Lou Malnati’s, but Giordanos isn’t bad.
