βAfter a 35 minute wait and a 10 minute trek back to the hotel, I FINALLY had my Chicago style deep dish pizza! [...] So you can imagine my excitement in finally getting this beautiful pie and biting into the layers of sauce, meat, veggies and crustβ¦it was well worth the wait! The pizza is so thick yet surprising not doughy. The sauce is what makes the pizza and at Giordanoβs they do it right! Not tangy, slightly sweet and tons of ingredients stuffed into the pie, itβs no wonder it weighed that much. You could easily eat it with a knife and fork but since we forgot to get utensils we used our hands.β
βWhen the Ginoβs Supreme Deep Dish Pizza finally arrived, it was like the Holy Grail of pizzas: sausage with fresh onions, green peppers, mushroom, and mountains and mountains of wonderful, delicious, melty cheese. So much cheese it oozed out until it was a sloppy, gooey mess that barely resembled pizza. I loved it. When 5 drunken people eat in absolute silence in rapture of the food, you know its good.β
βUnlike the smaller personal deep dish pizzas, the tremendous slices of Giordano's pan pizza expanded significantly in my stomach, quadrupling in volume after just a few minutes. The pizza literally crippled my entire body, overwhelming and overloading my senses. Furthermore, the center of the dough was slightly uncooked with a gluey and gooey consistency.β
