Upon entering we were promptly greeted by a friendly and accommodating waiter. He told us to have a seat anywhere we wanted. Once we sat, he was immediately at the table taking our drink orders. When he returned with our drinks, we then ordered a deep dish pepperoni pizza. He informed us that it would be about a 45 minute wait and asked us if that would be ok. Sure, after all we were there for the Deep Dish pizza. After what seemed to be a less than a 45 minute wait, our pizza was delivered to the table nice and hot. This was a beauty to behold, sauce on the top, everything else under the sauce. All surrounded by a thin pie like crust, with the Pepperoni on the bottom and cheese, lots of cheese in the center
The crust had a nice flakey feel to it along with a nice crunch. It almost seemed like a pastry pie crust. The crust also was firm enough that it didn't fall apart in your hand.
The sàuce Sauce had a hint of oregano. Nice mild sauce with a bit of a kick, nothing over powering just a hint. According to their literature, they use hand picked tomatoes. These tomatoes are grown in Mendocino County, California. The sauce is prepared daily.
The cheese had a smooth slightly salty taste. Seemed like a hint of Ricotta, when asked what kind of cheese, I was told it's a Wisconsin Mozzarella. It's their signature mozzarella cheese. They shred it daily to ensure that it has that creamy, buttery flavor and legendary Giordano's melt. Now the disappointment. Where is the meat? Well the Pepperoni is under all the delicious cheese and sauce. The Pepperoni had a nice meaty taste with a slight kick. Good Pepperoni. Didn't seem like enough. Very hard to tell as it was at the bottom, the others in my party kept asking where was the Pepperoni. This pie had very little greasiness, probably due to the pepperoni being on the bottom. All together this was a great pie. 5 out of 5 Dancing Pepperonis. Completely recommend giving them a try, especially if you always wanted to try a Chicago style pizza.
