Giordano's

The Best Stuff Pizza ever,,

Excellent self serve resteraunt. I very much enjoyed eating my packed lunch and then napping in this quiet space. There are some cons, however.

No hours are posted and there's no sign out front. It's difficult to get inside, you may need your own bolt cutters. Wait staff and furniture are absent, but that's part of the charm. The restrooms are European style, befitting the Italian theme, meaning you just use the pipes in the ground. Payment can be confusing, so I just sent a check to the Chicago location for one small pan pizza. It's what I felt was fair, you may feel differently.

It's not the fault of Giordano's, but other customers can be rude. I ran into someone else's reservation and they threatened to call the police for trespassing.

Overall this is a different take on Giordano's but still worthy of the name. 10/10 authentic experience.

I got the Cuban sandwich on a cibatta bread. I think what made it great was the chipotle mayo, and honey mustard. YUM! The sandwich came with crispy and colorful chips. They'll have a couple of soups available, and I was lucky as I got the lobster bisque. If you've seen the "Soup Nazi" episode from Seinfeld, one sip of it will make you want to sit down, it's that good!
