Unfortunately, you can definitely feel the "whites only" vibes. From the staff and other patrons. Sad. Food was good though. But wouldn't return.

We just had Giordano's in Mokena cater our office party. Food was amazing! I love the chop salad. Everyone was raving about it. Prices per very affordable and they made it so easy to order and pick up. I'm planning on ordering for my Son's graduation party from there now.

There must have been a shortage in sauce. And oven temperature. This was by far one of the worst pizzas I've ever had from there.

Family gathering after my daughter’s basketball game. Our waitress was so patient with us as we had many multiple orders due to dietary restrictions and generation gaps ?. In the end everyone got what they wanted and everyone had an amazing time and the semi private room was so nice.Dietary restrictions: Great non pork options

My husband and I were visiting from Las Vegas. Even though we have a Giordano’s in LV, it tastes so much better in IL. I had originally made an online order (stuffed pizza) but realized I ordered just cheese and forgot to add sausage. How can you order a Giordano's stuffed pizza without sausage?? SMH. When I went inside to pick up our order, I had spoken with Mistie. I had explained to her my mistake and she informed me that I would have to purchase another pizza with sausage. I told her that it was my mistake and that was not a problem. Michele (manager) was also there and when I mentioned we were from LV, she said “you know we have a location in LV?” We mentioned we tried it there before but it never tastes the same. She stated it’s because of the water and climate. Which made perfect sense.Plus we were also bringing home a pizza for a friend, so wanted it to be correct. My husband had noticed that they had a freezer of frozen stuffed pizza and we had asked Mistie if she would recommend those over a fresh pizza. She mentioned that she would get someone from the back to answer that question. She and a gentleman by the name of Odis came back to the front. We had explained to him that we were going to bring the pizza home with us (to Las Vegas) and asked if a fresh pizza or a frozen one would be best, since we would have to freeze the fresh one anyways. Odis was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and helpful advising that in our case it would be best to take home a frozen one (as they are made in IL) so it would taste the same as the fresh. Also, it would protect from any airborne illness (since the frozen one was already sealed.) Glad we had asked, as it made our decision easier and got the frozen. Odis definitely made our experience more enjoyable. Thank you so much for your generosity, Odis. We can’t thank you enough for turning my original mistake into something so much more memorable. When we are in town again, we will come visit this location again.

When placing order in Uber Eats they didn’t hand all the item at one time and let the Uber driver hand only half the order poor management if you ask me. The mozzarella was soggy and disgusting. The wings were not cooked all the way. Once again poor management corporate should look into hhis

We came in yesterday with a large group at lunchtime and the staff was friendly and accommodating. Food was delicious and a great value. Can't beat those lunch specials!

Minooka location did not provide my online order on time!!! Service was TERRIBLE!!!
What is wrong with this place? Every, single, time, there is a problem with the food. Chicago style deep dish. Theirs is good. Problem is they can't cook it to save their life. They get the cook wrong 80% of the time. When you pick it up it's either undercooked and doughy or overcooked and burnt underneath.L so you always have to check. They hate remaking it since it takes so long to cook so when they mess it up they just box it and hope for the best. Last straw for me with this place was our last order. Not only did they get the order wrong like usual, but our CHICAGO DEEP DISH pizza was made super thin. I kid you not. I cut it and the cheese went all over in a weird way, almost like there was no support for it. When I cut into it I couldn't find the bottom easily. When I did I realized what happened. They pounded it so thin that there was only a thin layer of dough for the base, thinner than a tavern style pizza, and then they dumped a ton of cheese on it. I included pictures so you can see. This was a cheese bowl with sauce on top with all of the dough going to the crust. Not to mention all of that cheese kept what dough there was from even cooking. I scraped it for a closer look and was able to take the raw uncooked dough and form it into dough balls. I'll end by saying I really like Giordano's pizza but this place is just awful. For a $30 pizza they could put in the effort of doing it right. Save your money and frustrations and try a different location.

Love the pizza at this Giordano's location. I used to live in the city and was used to those Giordanos pizzas but this Mokena location tops them all. It’s delicious pizza!

4 stars just because they offer a military discount. Enjoy their pizza, but they just don't put enough sauce on it. Asked for well done one night and it was very well done. Next order I will ask for extra sauce.
