Giordano's, 730 North Rush Street, Gold Coast (Chicago) EOPB

First of all.......let me explain why you are about to leave our beautiful City by the Bay and experience a "taste of Chicago".
While our staff photographer rehabilitates her meniscus, I have been doing a little traveling.  It was off to Chicago, a trip down memory lane, as I lived there for many years, many years ago.  Perhaps "More is Less Mula" will inspire you to visit the windy city and discover the home of numerous fabdelish  and unique dining experiences!
I hope you enjoy the next 4 Chicago posts!!!!!!

There is nothing more "Chicago" than Deep Dish Pizza and no place more famous for it than "Giordano's", home of the original stuffed pizza.  If you haven't had pizza in this city, you can't know what I'm talking about.  "Pizza", as you know it does not exist here.  It's not thick crust. It certainly isn't thin and crisp.  It is "stuffed" and there is nothing quite as delicious and filling as "G's" classic (pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers and onions) and a small pie easily serves four people.
This pizza is powerful and bursting with flavor and tons of cheese.  There is no weak, pansy pizza in this town!  Fabdelish...OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the absence of out staff photographer, I was forced to borrow this shot from the "Giordano" web site.
Yes, yes, yes, same old story.  A half eaten pizza does not photograph well. Blah Blah Blah......

You cannot imagine how good this is with an ice cold beer or cocktail of your choice, served along with a fresh crisp "Giordano House Salad" (spring greens, romaine, arugula, baby heirloom tomatoes, radicchio & fresh fennel, tossed in a light lemon vinaigrette with shaved Asiago)!





Now for a little history:
Many years ago, in a small Italian town near "Torino", Mama Giordano created her famous Easter Pizza Pie.
The family eventually immigrated to Chicago and ultimately, in 1974, two of the "Giordano" brothers opened a restaurant featuring Mama's famous recipe. The rest is history!

These pizzas are stuffed with pride and eaten with pleasure.  Giordanos' is definitely a true  *"More is Less Mula Star" contender.

MAMA MIA!!!!!!!
