Gianorio's Pizza Pasta - Lombard

(Double dough pictured) It's carry out only, and closed on Sundays, but that's because it's so good they can set a tighter schedule to give their employees a break and still have a line the moment the doors open. Be ready to wait 60+ minutes from the time you order a deep dish and bring someone with strong arms to carry it out because it's much heavier than the box looks to be. If you're showing off Chicago style pizza to someone from out of state order a stuffed pizza or double dough, they won't be disappointed.

This is a good pie. I tried the extra thin, thin, and deep dish. The extra thin by far is the best pizza. I recommend an extra thin cheese. Perfection. The deep dish is well done, however, underbaked slightly. I think asking for it to be baked a slightly bit longer. If a meat lover, the volume and distribution is excellent. The sauce is well balanced and highly addictive. I look forward to eating here again. Food: 4

We have lived in the western suburbs of Chicago for 30 years and have eaten many pizzas from many parlors/restaurants. Gianorio's is hands-down the best pizza I've had. We had a medium pie with regular crust, and traditional toppings: mushrooms, black olives, sausage, pepperoni. It was unbelievably good. The crust was crunchy and chewy at the same time, the sauce clearly had been cooked and flavored for a long time (critical for good pizza sauce) and it was nicely smothered in cheese. It was simply a GREAT pizza!

We ordered double dough, however crust was too bread-like. Cheese ok, sauce ok, sausage on pizza was excellent. Pizza done exactly when they said on phone.
