    Excellent fast service and great pizza options. Takes a bit to get full pizzas but worth the wait. Gluten free thin crust available with excellent appetizers. Reasonably priced and easy split check feature which is nice for business. Drinks taste a little funny because we are from out of town and aren't used to the water so could use a filter, but overall would stop in for lunch again.

    It had been a while since I had an American style pizza, so a friend recommended Giordano's downtown Indy. I hit the road to dine in however the place was fully packed and a long queue was waiting to have a chance to get in. So, I doubled back and decide to try next day. I arrived at lunch time and the same situation and would to take quite sometime to be seated, so I decided to run some errands then I returned back yo the restaurant late afternoon and luckily there were many tables vacant. The host was very welcoming at the entrance. The restaurant inside was spacious and well-desgined. The waitress was very helpful to represent the menu dishes and offer some recommendations. We had the sampler Appetizer and the deep-dish Chicago style pizza. Wow, the food was scrumptious and we enjoyed every bite 😋. P.S. : Try to avoid the peak hours and show up early unless not bothered by waiting in a long queue , especially weekend nights.

    Truly amazing deep dish pizza! I haven’t eaten Giordano’s since 2015 and it was a great experience for dinner! Friendly waiters, decent service, and great pizza! Overall, I’d recommend!

    What an awesome pizza! Chicago classic deep dish is the way to go! Went here after the State Marching band competition at Lucas Oil Stadium. There was 9 of us and they had a table for us in 15 minutes on a Saturday now night around 8PM! Our waiter was fantastic and the rest of the staff was very friendly! I’ve had Giordano’s in Chicago but was impressed with the pie here more so than in Chicago. We will definitely be making plans to visit this establishment again soon! Thank you for an awesome experience!

    Authentic deep fish pizza. Butter, flaky crust filled with cheese. It tasted great. I got an individual meatball pepper and pepperoni- because that's as much as I can eat, even the small would be too much for one person or one serving. So hearty and filling. Give it a try.

    Placed an order online and picked up at the restaurant. Even got an awesome parking spot on a meter right at the front door. There was a little confusion with the online order, but it was quickly resolved. The order was finished; the bill just got misplaced. Got a medium deep dish, large thin crust, and calamari. Jeez, that was a lot of food! I ate pizza for 3 days. The fried lemon peels in the calamari was a little off-putting, but everything else was fantastic. Will definitely go again next time I visit Indy.

    Food and service were good. Overall experience was nice, restaurant seemed a bit dated and had a strange smell. Would recommend if you’re in the mood for pizza. Deep dish looked tasty but we didn’t have time to wait for it to cook.

    Hitting up as many pizza joints as I can while in Indianapolis. This was on my list for today. And we made it happen. Upon entering on a Saturday evening with a party of 7, we got seated pretty quickly, about 20 minutes. I was delighted to see a wonderful interior. The decor is very nice. Industrial, while almost historic. There is a bar in this establishment. I ordered an old fashioned, one drink I get often. This drink came a redish color and had a lot of cut fruit in the bottom. It was not to my liking, however to be fair some may enjoy it. It did have a bourbon flavor, just too sweet for me. They did comp it for me, which was great. I replaced with an IPA that I assume was on draft. I ordered a personal Cheese and Pepperoni deep dish. While it took longer than a thin crust, I feel it was absolutely the right decision. This thing is a Chicago style deep. Crust was very crisp and thin, but thick enough to hold the weight of all that cheese, pepperoni and red sauce. The red sauce had wonderful tomato flavor, thick, chunky, excellent. The pepperoni were slightly spicy, not too greasy. The cheese was plentiful also not greasy. The whole pizza was just wonderful. I highly recommend that deep dish. Waitstaff was friendly, and helpful. Ambiance was great as well. Highly recommend.

    Visited here with my fiance recently we ordered 2 pizzas (thin crust) & 2 small side salads & No drinks, our bill over 89.00 insane!... Place was empty & with prices like this it's not hard to do the math. My salad was DRENCHED in dressing I couldn't even eat it sadly. I will say Our pizzas were good & service was too but not worth almost $100 for lunch for just 2 people.

    Loved Giordano's Chicago location, so jumped at the chance to try their downtown Indianapolis location. Called in our delivery order. We ordered their signature deep dish "Chicago Style". Pizza was delivered within the hour. Delivery guy called us 2 minutes prior to his arrival so I could meet him in the lobby. Both plates and cutlery were provided upon request. Pizza was hot, delicious and well packaged. Ordered a medium for 2 people and we had leftovers. Red pepper and parmasean cheese packets were also provided. Pizza was pricey but totally worth it.

    We had lunch here as a group of 5. Heather was one of the funnest and best servers I have ever had. She took great care of us! The deep dish pie here is truly an experience. The food is excellent and the atmosphere is lively. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will be back.

    Mother’s Day we came in and it was half way empty. The food was decent nothing special. If you want meat, ask for double because you don’t get much. Garlic bread and salad was good, best thing I ate. Bbq wings were decent. Light music. Seems chill. Service was decent, nothing special. I would come back, but it may be a while before I do.

    Had to get Giordano's when we were in Indianapolis. We did a bike ride at the the canal and downtown. It was a perfect time to stop and have lunch/dinner. We got the deep dish with sausage. It was delicious. Just like back in Chicago. Worth a stop for the best deep dish pizza in Indy. Price was reasonable for a meal in a pizza

    Giordano's is located on the southeast corner of W Market St and N Illinois St near Monument Circle. Giordano's is within walking distance from many of the nearby hotels and is located under a tall building. The food was outstanding and the service was outstanding. There have booth and table seats available in addition to the outdoor seating. Had a couple beers and a delicious pie, couldn't ask for anything else! If you're in the areas, stop in, you won't be disappointed.

    Haven't had fresh Giordano's pizza in almost 10 years (we usually have to have it shipped to us because of where we live) and it was great to be back enjoying it as it was meant to be enjoyed! This location in downtown Indianapolis is a great spot (our first time there). The pizza was perfect. The service was great. And with a parking garage right next door and plenty of downtown parking (it seemed), it made the experience overall wonderful. Plus we loved the aesthetic of the restaurant itself.

    The best Chicago style pizza I've ever had! I got wings too but they were so good I didn't capture a picture!

    This was some very classic and authentic deep dish pizza. Not super noisy and good hang out.

  • 5/5 Ainura San D. 11 months ago on Google
    The pizza takes about 40 min to make, so try some good appetizers. We ordered a small pizza, and it was a lot for the two of us. We also ordered fried calamari. The food was delicious 😋

    I went to Giordano’s with my friends on a Friday around 6pm..there was 5 of us. The place was relatively busy but they had a table for us as soon as we came in. We came to try the deep dish and it was pretty good, keep in mind it will take longer to cook (40-50mins) ..Small deep dish is large enough for two people. I loved their crust, but their sauce needs more seasoning; because there’s a lot of it in the deep dish you can clearly notice that, maybe more garlic and herbs? I’ve seen other pizza options in the other tables and I think I would come again to try them along with the appetizers! Service was great and staff were friendly.

    We enjoyed a meal with a large group of friends. The service was good, our drinks remained refilled and our food came out relatively quick, especially fast considering how busy the restaurant was that evening. They had offerings for dietary needs as well. I was able to get a gluten free crust and my son got a pizza without cheese. You can also buy frozen pizza to take home and finish baking which is nice for those of us we don't live near their restaurants. It made a nice surprise for my family.

    Got the cheese pizza it was delicious very unique pizza.. $30 for the large cheese pizza but two slices full You Up. So much cheese you won't s*** right for a week.. their crust on it was not my favorite it tasted kind of like a pie crust very Bland

  • 5/5 Dannette 1 year ago on Google
    This is my first time eating at Giordano's, however I have wanted to for awhile. It was highly recommended by family and friends that have eaten there before. We got the BBQ chicken, bacon stuffed pizza, and it was THE BEST pizza I have EVER eaten! The service was great, our server was very friendly and accommodating. I HIGHLY recommended Giordano's to all pizza lovers! You won't be disappointed!!

  • 5/5 MACALL B. 1 year ago on Google
    I mean what more can you say? This is arguably the best pizza place around! The deep dish does take about 40-45 minutes to cook (but worth the wait). I brought my mother here visiting out of town and a big pizza critic, always has something to say about the sauce: to sweet, to wet, to meaty, to salty… and that’s just the sauce i will spare you about the bread and cheese. Needless to say I was very excited to see her thoughts on Giordano’s. We started off with some appetizers, and got the mozzarella squares. I thought they were good had some good breading thought I wish it had just a bit more mozzarella. My mom loved them also and informed the waitress we would be back for more of this this week. We waited for our pizza to be baked. The pizza, we got the Parmesan crusted medium cheese pizza and from the first bite it had both my mom and I dying and falling in love, each bite you get the nuttiness from the Parmesan on the entire bottom of the pizza and the top of the crust, then you get the tomato sauce with the finish of the mozzarella cheese. This place is amazing and I couldn’t say more!
