Giordano's Pizza

Just wanted to share a quick picture from Giordano's pizza in Uptown. We visited for early dinner on a Saturday afternoon recently. Since it was early, it didn't look that busy, and we scored a parking spot in the adjacent lot, but the only open spots were two stools at the bar. We took them and quickly made the decision to order a deep dish pepperoni and sausage pizza. The pizza takes 45 minutes to bake and I see why.

This is a heavy duty pizza and it is topped with tons of cheese. I liked this pizza, but I'm not sure it was the best deep dish I've ever had. The crust was very thick and sturdy, but I missed the cornmeal dusting that sometimes is used under the crust. The cheese had good flavor, as did the meat. The sauce was acceptable, but was missing the super fresh tomato flavor we were looking for. Overall, I'd say if you are missing authentic Chicago style deep dish pizza, this will meet your needs, but it is not the best ever.

We found the service to be brisk and quick. They do their best to get you in and out, though the cooking time slows things down considerably. There are two Minnesota locations now as well, in Minneapolis and Richfield.
