GIORDANO'S REVIEWS

Overall, it was a good experience. Had a wide range of options available. Drink menu also. Waitress (Dana) was friendly and gave us good recommendations, gave us no time pressure to order. In the end we ordered a chicago classic and Dana recommended us on buffalo wings which were perfect entrees. Pizza made fresh to order. Compliments to the chefs.

First time Chicago visitor here! A group of 4 of us came for dinner and had such a great time. We ordered the “medium depth” pizza… the name is escaping me but it wasn’t the traditional deep dish. So delicious!! The service was very friendly and the manager walks around the restaurant ensuring everyone is happy. I would come back! Thank you!.

Awesome Awesome place. I am not particularly a pizza person but this place made me love pizzas. Awesome taste, large portions, very very friendly waiters. Always crowded. You have to wait 15 20 mins to get in but worth waiting. Rates are super reasonable. Even the beverages they serve come in large cups and you get refills. I just loved this place. A must must go place in Chicago.

PEQUOD'S PIZZA REVIEWS

Recommended by local, we loved Pequods! I hadn’t had true Chicago pizza in a very long time and my husband and I loved it! A true special experience of quality pizza. The staff was so friendly even though it was a busy night. We were early for our reservation so we were recommended to go Becks for a drink and that will be part of our routine now! Grabbed a beer and they were great too! The whole experience was great, highly recommend.

Wonderful! We had a great time trying Chicago deep dish! The pizza was delicious! I loved the crust and the caramelized cheese. I got a personal size cheese and basil pizza. I was surprised I ate the whole thing! The rest of my group had a sausage and basil deep dish pizza and said it was wonderful. The mozzarella sticks were also very good! The staff were great and very friendly.

The deep dish pizza was amazing! I would definitely try to stick to 3-4 ingredients. We did 5 and it was a little much! The thin crust was really good, however I’m a tavern style pizza person! Environment was really nice. Definitely family friendly. Our server was really nice! The jalapeño poppers were sooooo good! All dressings are homemade and really good! Would definitely come back!.

LOU MALNATI'S PIZZERIA REVIEWS

We’ve been to Lou Malnati’s before and always enjoy the food, but this time I tried their Hot Chicken Buffalo Deep Dish pizza for the first time. It had a great flavor and just the right amount of heat, though it was a bit oily. We also had the Mushroom Gluten-Free Thin Crust — it was simple and decent, but the crust turned out a little dry. The service was solid as always, and our waiter was polite and friendly. Still one of our go-to spots!.

I absolutely loved their Chicago deep-dish pizza! It was rich, extra cheesy, and had the perfect balance of a crunchy yet flavorful crust. The staff was incredibly friendly and polite. 10/10; highly recommend.

We’ve been waiting to check this place off the Chicago bucket list forever. It lived up to the expectations - absolutely delicious! Our server Luis was also fantastic.
