The signature Chicago food is deep dish pizza—and it had to be tried during the Chicago Road Trip stop. Edward advised the restaurant and Megan recommended the type of pizza. So, the meal was decided.
At Giordano’s I placed an order for deep dish spinach pizza, and was informed that it would be ready in 30-45 minutes. I was starving, but the waiter said that each literal pizza pie requires the time to cook—and that it was “worth the wait.”
My review: I’ve been too spoiled by New York pizza for the waiter. I literally ate a pie. A quarter-inch of spinach topped with a half-inch of cheese and a thin layer of sauce. Eating felt gluttonous, overwhelming, and like it was a task. It’s not my kind of pizza, but it is checked off of my tourist ‘to do’ list.
