Gianorio's Pizza & Pasta — Restaurant in Lombard

Ok, we're locals and have been coming here for years; not even sure how I've never left a review until now. ...And for how prices are now, I'm ready to leave a bad review. $70 for two pies and some wings is too much, way too much. So I'm taking a star off. Obviously, in and around Chicago we are lucky to be blessed with pizza (and so many other foods). The regular thin crust has always been our go to and have had the extra thin crust a couple times - they haven't mastered the "cracker crust" yet; it's still too soggy in the middle, so that's another star off. They're now charging an extra 3% for using a card (like lots of places); like they don't realize we order from the business b/c they take cards, it's not a privilege, they should eat that, not pass it on, so there's another star off... Apps/wings - meh, they're ok.

For some reason we have never ordered their deep dish. We did tonight. It was game changing! No blackened edges (Pequods), no butter crust (Saverios), just some of the best insides the wife and I have EVER blessed our tastebuds with! Incredible. I was hoping after spending the aforementioned $70, that would be the last time ordering. In fact, I should take off another star for now addicting me to such expensive, delicious Za! But I can't... Well done Gianorio's, well done. And the too-gooey extra thin crust was also phenomenal, the ingredients/flavors were just too good to complain!

Thank you to the fam and all the hard workers!

Almost forgot to mention, the 12" deep dish, 16" extra thin and wings is probably enough for 6-9 meals, so the price... More worth it than my initial sticker shock! Will upload pics as soon as...

Ok, Wow, Wow, Wow. I don't know what to say. I have been eating pizza my entire life. I estimate by my calculations I have eaten about 600 pizzas. I am extremely critical of the pizza I eat and who I order from. I was in the Lombard area ( visiting relatives I don't like) and took a chance at this place. Hands down it is the best thin crust pizza I have ever had. Yes EVER had. Great staff, great service, and outstanding pizza made in an authentic oven by people who know how to make a great pizza. When I picked up the box I could tell it was something special and the smell in the car on the way back was almost irresistible. When you have passion for what you do as a business and you have quality people and use fresh ingredients you create something special. I am writing this review the morning after enjoying the pizza that we ordered last night with green olives and mushrooms. It is such a good pizza just writing this review is making my mouth water so I just finished all the leftovers. Also, I am now less reluctant to come visit my relatives in Lombard because now I can also get this great pizza.

Thanks to the entire staff for making such a great pizza and proving that there is great pizza outside the Chicago...

I stopped after work for an Italian beef sandwich. It's one of my favorites. And they can get it ready in about 10 minutes while I wait.

Fabulous pizza also! I love the extra thin crust they offer.

The people there are always friendly, it's a great local restaurant.

I saw a reply to get cheese on the beef sandwich, and I always get cheese on the Italian beef sandwich. And then they put it under a broiler or something to melt and brown the cheese, and the corners of the sandwich get toasted. And a cup of the au jus is included, so you can dunk the toasted corners in the au jus, and its wonderful! Absolutely get cheese on...
