Giordanos's truly a Chicago favorite loved by pizza lovers nation wide. Chicago is known for its great pizza especially deep dish and Giordano's is a hallmark of that greatness. Giordano's is a special kind of pizza you can only find in the chi town right? I mean come on the last time I went there it was a gorgeous day on the strip with ma.......Wait a second......The Strip????? This cant be possible!!!! NO NO this place is not real OMG when I go back home to Illinois I am going to get beat up is the streets!!! Please if your reading this it is my final review!!!!!!
Though its not located in my favorite city in America Chicago this Giordano's is pretty amazing. The setting maybe different but it still had that bold and delicious Chicago flavor. The two apetizers I started off with were great and very satisfying. The first appetizer I had was the calamari and more $10.95 this dish had fried pieces of calamari such as the tentacles as well as fried green beans,lemon rings, shaved fennel, with a very fresh and tomatoy marinara sauce. Then I moved onto the most amazing tomato Bruscheta $9.25 This plate had fresh tomatos mozzarela ccheese basil,olive oil, balsamic glaze, all served on a crispy garlic toast. The tomatos were so fresh I almost asked if they were freshly picked.
Then after a 45 minute wait(WHY YOU TORTURE ME WITH WAIT GIORDANOS!?!?!?!?!!?!?) a gift from god himself was delivered to my table. The deep dish chicken sasuage deluxe $28.25 for a medium which was tottaly worth the price. This pizza came packing with nicley portioned chicken sausage,spinach, and mushrooms all packed together for an amazing bite. The crust was cracker thin just like it should....AAAAAH it felt like I was on top of the Willis Tower at night with a cool breeze blowing.
Though the food was great the outlet itself could have been a bit better. The atmosphere was great with the whole restaurant being open and it had water spritzer just in case it got hot. The table were nice and the plates could have been a bit cleaner my had tons of battle scars it had seen a few forks in its time. The location was ok(not known for the most sober patrons) but I think Giordanos could thrive in someplace more upbeat and lively such as Dowtown Summerlin. Truly it could have had more of a Chicago deel with decorations and could have even played blues brothers music instead of 107.9. The service was great the waitress I had and the other staff had excellent customer service skills.
Chicago it is truly a wonderful city and the home of the original Giordano's. Who would ever guess that I would find a nice tastey slice of home right here in Vegas.
This is your favorite Yelper! Rodney...Where shall my taste buds take me next.
