My wife and I have tried a number of the pizza places in Chicago and this is hands down our favorite.  The crust is perfect...not dry, but also not dripping with excess grease.  They have a wonderfully balanced sauce with just the right amount of spice to match the natural flavor of the tomato.  There is always an abundance of the toppings and cheese.  The service has been great and we love the laid back atmosphere.  We recommend Giordano's to everyone we know who is going to visit the city.
Pros:  Great pizza, inexpensive, good service
Cons:  busy weekends
