      The salad was delicious. I'm super special so I kinda mixed the Greek and House subtracting everything but lettuce, spring mix, onions and cucumbers. I forgot to keep the cheese. I did survive.

      They DO NOT have SWEET TEA, they have sweetened tea. I won't hold that against them. I love South Carolina Sweet Tea and it didn't hit the spot.
      Unfortunately, we are going to lose a star for service. I know the pizza take forever However please check on your guests. I didn't like the tea. I ate the salad and I think I'm choking on a leaf deep down but I have nothing to drink.
      Imagine, served a salad I've consumed and wrote this post without seeing anyone.
      I'm waiting for the pizza in great anticipation as I am a Chicago Native and I know pizza!!!
      The pizza was on point, excellent.
      I highly recommend just be prepared for the service. They are great they just aren't as attractive. Plan to ask for everything when they stop by.
      It was a great experience

      After waiting forever which is common for this pizza I received a semi raw pizza that didn't look anything like the real pizza. I'm from Chicago!!!! I send it back with a few chosen words. The waiter returned to say the owner said they would cook another one. I refused to accept his offer.
      The final offer was to pay for the wine we ordered. I became furious and as I walked to pay I asked for the owner who never showed up.
      Remember it's a thick pizza, cheese, sausage and topped with pizza sauce. Look at the junk I got!

      When you first walk in, you can tell the place is old. This location had that old home smell. The inside looks outdated and could really use some remodeling or updates.

      I was greeted with a smiley face right away and given a menu to review. There was no wait to get seated. The waiter answered any question I had. You can order half & half. This is great. This allows you a chance to try two different styles of pizzas. I got "The special" & the meat & more meat. I was told the pizza would take 45 min. Which was fine with me.

      When the pizza arrived you could tell it was huge. In my opinion, this is what pizza should always look. The cheese pull was awesome, but the pizza itself was the true star. There's nothing outdated about this pizza.

      For a large pizza it will cost you about $55. Worth it to me. You can feed a family of 4 easily with that pizza. The Special was good. Just prepare for a little more liquid due to the veggies in this pizza. As far as the meat & more meat pizza. It was the best one to me. The spices from the meat matches well it the cheese. Really good pizza overall.

      Come hungry, enjoy the wait & devour the pizza.

      My husband was craving Chicago deep dish pizza, and Giordano's seemed like the best choice in Orlando. I have been to Giordano's in Chicago and loved the deep dish pizza.

      The restaurant is in an unassuming plaza. Honestly, I didn't pay much attention to it before and didn't know they had more locations in Orlando. When we got there, it was packed, but the wait time wasn't too bad. The main dining area is tight, but they also have a more casual section on the side. I preferred the main dining area as it has the décor and feels cozy.

      We went there with a mission to try the Chicago Classic Deep Dish. Our waitress mentioned it takes 45 minutes for the deep dish pizza, which I remembered when I went to Giordano's in Chicago. While we waited, we ordered some appetizers, including mozzarella triangles and garlic parmesan fries. Of those two, my favorite was the mozzarella triangles.

      Our deep-dish pizza was right on time and worth the wait. The Chicago Classic Deep Dish has pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers, and onions. The crust was crispy, and the filling had the right amount of sauce and cheese. We loved it! We ordered the small size which serves 2-3 people ($27.25). The portion was right and we even took the last piece home.

      Other items on their menu include Giordano's "Tavern-Style" Thin Crust, pasta, salads, and sandwiches.

      Service was excellent, too; even though it was a busy night, our waitress kept checking on us and updating us on the timing of our deep-dish pizza. Waiting 45 minutes for food sounds like a lot, but it wasn't too bad.

      My last visit to Giordano's was in 2012, 12 years ago. Thank you Yelp for the information.

      My husband is a big fan of deep dish pizza. We decided to go to Giordano's to fill our deep dish craving as the local place by us recently changed owners and no longer offers deep dish pizza.

      We came on a Saturday around 5:30 p.m. The place was busy, but we were seated right away.

      Service - A. Our server did a great job.

      Food - B. We started with an order of their garlic parmesan fries. We ordered this mainly for our little guy to eat. Unfortunately, the fries were very bland. Yes, there was parmesan cheese and maybe a sprinkle garlic powder. Giordano's is an italian restaurant. A little fresh garlic would have gone a long way. Of course we ordered deep dish pizza. Anyone is crazy if they come here and don't order what they are known for. We got a medium size for the two of us to split. It was more than enough. We ended up taking 1/2 of it home. It took about 45 minutes from the time we ordered, which we knew ahead of time and were fine with. The pizza was decent. VERY cheesy. However, it was dry. We both personally thought a little more sauce would have made the meal much better.

      Omg. Husband and I wanted some last minute pizza. We were staying at a Disney hotel and needed some carbs and salt before our Marathon the next day. Landed here and it was PERFECT! TONS of food (you can't get this much food for this price in Disney) and close enough to our hotel to not be a pain to get to.
      We got a medium and ate all but two pieces which we saved for breakfast the next day.
      10/10 would recommend this place. Quality was fantastic! We ordered carry out and just brought it to our hotel to eat.

      This was the most massive pizza I've had in my life! What a glorious experience! Must try!

      . Chicago Classic- Deep Dish has pepperoni, mushrooms, green bell peppers, and onions. Was mind-blowingly delicious with melting cheese, perfectly cooked veggies, and cannot forget to mention the pepperoni.

      The small size feeds 2-3 people. I have a small appetite so I got full off 1.5 slices. This pizza lasted 2-3 meals for us when we incorporated a salad along with the pizza. Loved this idea!
      Ordered carryout and they provided plates. We asked for parmesan cheese and peppers, we only received one of each, so double check your order if there's enough for your party before leaving. This pizza is dense so you'll feel the weight of it when you carry it. It'll get y'all excited to eat for sure.

      Restaurant looked massive and clean with many indoor seats. No outdoor seating. Looked like a fun place to be.

      I called in the order and they said it would be ready in 40 minutes. To me that is a long wait, but sounds like they make it fresh. Not sure how long you'd wait if you dine in.

      Decent Pizza. Being that I'm from Chicago, I remember the days when they were a decent chain. Food has gotten down hill. Service was decent. Ambiance was very casual.

      Service was very slow and order was messed up. Pizza was ok but we all preferred Gino's style and crust better.

      Pizza was a little disappointing! Being that I have been to famous deep dish pizzerias in Chicago. I guess my expectations were for it to be the same as Chicago. I ordered it for delivery. Woman I spoke to on the phone was very nice & friendly on the phone. I asked for utensils & paper plates(I was in a hotel in Kissimmee on vacay)She sent me a lot. I ordered a medium deep dish pie w/ half cheese & half meatballs. I liked that the meatballs were underneath the cheese.I wouldn't know how the ambience was b/c I did a delivery. Driver was friendly!
