Giordano's Pizzeria, Pizza restaurant chain in Chicago, US
Giordano's Pizzeria is a two-story restaurant in Chicago that specializes in deep-dish pizzas made with Wisconsin mozzarella and California tomato sauce. The menu features a wide selection of stuffed variations and combinations designed to appeal to different tastes.
The restaurant was founded in 1974 by Greek immigrants Efren and Josephine Giordano as a single location in the city. Over the following decades, the business grew and opened locations across multiple states.
The pizzeria shapes Chicago's food identity through its version of deep-dish pizza, which has become core to how the city's culinary traditions are experienced today. Visitors can see how this style of pizza-making influences the way people here think about their food.
The restaurant is open daily and offers dining in the space, takeout service, and ships frozen pizzas nationwide. Visitors should allow time for preparation and can choose whether to dine there or order to go based on their preference.
