About Giordanos
Where every giordano's deep dish pizza is made with generations of passion, the finest ingredients, and an uncompromising love for authentic Chicago-style flavor.
The Giordanos Story
Giordanos was born from a single belief: that a truly great giordano's deep dish pizza should take your breath away with every bite.
Founded in the heart of Orlando, FL, our restaurant carries the soul of Chicago's iconic pizza culture while embracing the vibrant spirit of Central Florida. Our founders, passionate food lovers who grew up eating giordanos pizza on the streets of Chicago, wanted to bring that same unforgettable experience to a new community.
From our hand-stretched dough to our vine-ripened tomato sauce and premium cheese blend, every element of our recipe honors the traditions that make giordanos a legendary name in the world of pizza. Today, we serve thousands of guests weekly, and our kitchen buzzes with the same excitement it did on opening day.

From a single Chicago-style kitchen to becoming Orlando's most beloved giordanos pizza destination — here's how our story unfolded.
The Original Recipe Is Born
Giordanos was founded in Chicago by the Scavelli family, who perfected the art of stuffed deep dish pizza using a treasured family recipe passed down through generations. The iconic giordano's crust and fresh-ingredient philosophy set the brand apart from day one.

After years of growing acclaim and a passionate customer base, giordanos began expanding its reach across the United States. The brand's commitment to quality and the unmistakable flavor of authentic Chicago deep dish pizza won hearts nationwide.
Landing in Orlando, FL
We opened our doors at 6203 W Sand Lake Rd, Orlando, bringing the full giordanos experience to Central Florida. Our kitchen was built to honor every detail of the original recipe while serving the vibrant Orlando community with warmth and hospitality.
Recognition & Awards
Our Orlando location earned multiple "Best Pizza in Orlando" awards and was featured in national food publications for our unwavering dedication to authentic giordanos pizza. We expanded our menu to include pastas, calzones, and house-made desserts.
