Slightly OT - Giordano's

I love a good thin crust pizza as well but I think you are confusing deep dish with thick crust pizza both are different styles. A good deep dish pizza is not a "loaf of bread".

Understood. I'll give you that there is some great deep dish za. But some are still pretty heavy on the crust.

NYers have no business reviewing Chicago pizza because they eat all pizza like it's a SLICE. Stuffed is eaten sitting down with a knife and fork.

Stuffed and pan are different styles, so you can't really compare Giordanos and Lous. And neither are loaves of bread.

Chicago thin is outstanding also, and Phoenix had a great place but they burned down.

Personally I think Pequods is best in Chicago

Gimme thin crust any day. You can have your loaf of bread.

Made me giggle.

My co-worker in Gilbert loves rubbing one off.

There, fixed it for ya.

Chicago deep dish pizza. I prefer Lou Malnahtis. (sp)

Gino's East

Godfathers ftw

I really liked Godfather's during my college years. Only time I see it anywhere in Florida or the Southeast is when it's inside a Hess gas station. Is it still good?

I like Gino’s East, but all are good options

We could get beer at Gino's East when we were still in high school. I'm not even sure they knew there was a law against it. They wouldn't even look at us oddly when we ordered.

I think it's awesome. Pizza snobs don't, though.

I'm 50% pizza snob, i.e., I have my definite "no-go" places for eat-in/carry-out/delivery, but I will also eat numerous brands of frozen pizza. Even I think, "WTF?" on that one.

They still make a damn good taco pizza.

My favorite is Edwardo's. First Chicago deep-dish I ever had was a stuffed spinach from there.

Gino's East

Can't go wrong with that one either!

Thin crust is terrific when properly done. Deep dish ain't not loaf of bread. the crust isn't thick, the toppings are. Totally different beastie.
Loaf of bread is Detroit style, still tasty though.

I loved Godfathers, so sad they both closed in Iowa City. Now the closest thing is a gas station in North Liberty and it's nowhere near the same

At least Pagliai's is still here!

 

[ChosenChildren]

They have a Giordanos in Phoenix also. It's pretty far north as I remember. It was damn good but I still prefer Lou's![/QUOTE

It's not located in the mall, but across Jordan Creek Parkway on the West side of the road. I have not been yet, but a buddy I work with said it was good. A little bit better than Wig & Pen Pizza, according to him.

Whenever I drive by, it is completely packed and I believe they're only open during dinner time and not for lunch yet. Going to wait until it dies down a little bit, then I'll report back.

Reminds me of the famous Yogi Berra quote: "That restaurant is so busy. Nobody goes there anymore."

Not beer snobs. Soccer snobs, absolutely. Pizza snobs, not a problem.

I have a problem with taco pizza. I'm either in the mood for tacos, or for pizza. And the last two times I had taco pizza--admittedly, years ago--the lettuce was greasy and gross.
