| - I've been to Chicago twice and both times I got deep dish pizza but had not yet had a chance to get to Giordano's pizza there, despite my Chicago friends telling me it was one of the better places to go. I was quite excited to hear they were opening up one of these here in my hometown of Columbus, OH but when I was on the Vegas strip and saw the advertisement for Giordano's plastered on the side of the building I knew I would not want to wait until they came to Columbus and would be trying them in Vegas for the first time.
Arriving at the restaurant on a weekday somewhere between lunch and dinner meant there was no line or no waiting and we were seated right away. My first thoughts was how really clean and modern the restaurant looked. Despite being at an odd time on a weekday the restaurant was still mostly filled. We were waited on promptly and started out by ordering an order of their Buffalo wings. A short time later some very delicious looking wings came out and wow, they tasted even better than they looked. In fact, I'm going to go out on a limb and say these are probably the best Buffalo wings I've had anywhere. Very surprising as I was not really expecting it.
We went ahead and placed our order for one Chicago deep dish pizza (small) with sausage and pepperoni. Our waitress informed us the wait would be, at minimum 45 minutes, which i was aware of having ordered deep dish pizza before. So the long wait for the delicious pizza began. Normally this is the part where one would drink beer and watch some sports but being in Vegas for a few days I had had my fill of beer so we just chit chatted and waited for the pizza. While we were waiting the waitress did a great job of giving us refills on our tea and water and the manager, Eric Hamilton, was even nice enough to come and ask us how we had liked our wings. I chatted with Eric a bit and he had noticed I was wearing a Buckeye shirt so he started to tell me about the Polaris opening, which I thought was nice. He told us he'd come back and check on us when the pizza came out.
Eventually, right on schedule, about 45 minutes in, the pizza arrive and wow, did it look spectacular! Eric, the manager, actually came over and got our slices out and that allowed me to take some fantastic shots of all the cheesy goodness. The first bite of the pizza proved that it tasted even better than it looked and all I could think of was wow, it's a good thing Giordano's is coming a ways away from where I live in Columbus or I'd be eating this a lot more often than I should! It really was just that great. The cheese was plentiful, it was very saucy and the sausage and pepperoni were just amazing. It was everything I had expected it to be and more and we were very happy with it. The Chicago deep dish is so much more filling and we couldn't actually finish the entire small pizza, so we took the last slice with us to give to a lucky homeless guy.
The entire experience was awesome and I loved all of their food. We will definitely be going to check out Giordano's once it comes to Columbus, this spring, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who has the opportunity to try it. Just a tip too, there is a Giordano's bar on the street that we were not sure if they served pizza or if it was just a bar. You can get pizza there, we just didn't see anyone getting pizza while we were down there so we went up into the restaurant to eat. If the weather is nice, give it a try!
