Food Review: Giordano’s Deep Dish Pizza

Written by on April 28th, 2010 · 873 views

On a recent trip to Chicago, an editor for Foodenator decided to check out the famous Chicago Deep Dish Pizza.

The restaurant chosen was Giordano’s. The restaurant has been a Chicago staple since 1974 and has since become a local chain. Patron’s have the option to dine in, carry out, delivery or ship a pizza to their homes in a different state. www.giordanos.com

We decided to check out their Tropical Delight Deep Dish Pizza, dressed with cheese, pineapple and Canadian bacon. First of all, the pizza must have weighed at least 10 pounds and we only ordered a small. The first bite was a wonderful mix of flavors but the cheese was so plentiful and stringy that we almost choked on it. The sauce was excellent, a perfect blend of tangy and sweet. There was a good amount of toppings other than cheese. However the crust left us unsatisfied. Not only was it very dry but it really didn’t contain a lot of flavor.

At over $17.00 a pizza, we give Giordano’s 2.5 out of 5 stars.

We are certain there are better deep dish pizza’s in Chicago.

Tropical Delight sounds like a fancy way of saying ‘Hawaiian Pizza’. Unflavored crust is no good, especially on a deepdish. With dominos new crust on that pie, would score a 4.5, hands down.

This pizza is only really good for licking. Plus if you only lick the pizza, it will last you a lot longer.

It would still not be a 4 star pizza with the domino’s crust. The cheese chokes you and doesn’t have a ton of flavor.
