Chicago Pizza coming to the Landing

Giordano's has locations in Florida. I haven't eaten at any of them so I cannot guarantee they are as good as the Chicago locations.

I actually found a pic from my Chicago trip last year. This was a slice of mushroom pizza from Giordano's.

Droooooooooooool.

And yeah, I'd love it if I could catch a UFC fight at Chicago Pizza the landing. I'm not a fan of Hooters and their outdated ugly shorts, so that really leaves me with no options for downtown. I usually have to drive over to Baymeadows road for some decent sportsbar action.

drive to the Northside & go to Boston's. Good TVs and great pizzas.

Oh the one out by the airport, boston's gourmet pizza right?

gmpalmer · July 21, 2009, 10:33:54 AM

Yup. Best crust in town.

Who charges for refills outside of NYC and Europe? WTF? I like chicago-style pizza but don't expect me to go there. And do we have Jax-style pizza? Moon river? Pizza palace?

they rarely charge for refills....its just a disclaimer on the menu but most of the servers don't enforce it.

Man, I remember staring at that lone glass of Coke throughout dinner because my parents were sticklers - "Make it last" - It would be so watered down by the end of my meal - sweat beads all over the glass.....How times change - now servers won't let you out the door without a "to go" cup.

Next time just ask for a Coke with no ice. This way it won't get watered down.

I've eaten at 2 Giordanos in Chicago (Downtown & Wrigleyville) and 1 in Orlando. All three were the exact same. I had a good feeling in Orlando when after 45 minutes our pizza was still in the oven

Good to hear. I am spending a few days in Orlando in September and will check it out.

It's been a couple years since I was there... believe it was actually in Kissimmee.

Oh, and BTW, my plan would get some Riverfront land back on the tax rolls, and assuming they sold the land for market rate, would get some upfront money as well.

Seems like a good idea in this economy.

Or the taxes could raise rental square foot cost, which would hurt the businesses at the Landing, which would eventually hurt the Landing . . . or possible bankrupt it.

Oh yeah, their work uniforms are horrendous.

Not a big Chicago Pizza Fan...but should work well for The Landing. I've been hearing that a D&B may come downtown...?? anybody?
