“Dear PoPville,
Can you do a follow up on the opening of the Giordano’s Pizza that is supposed to open this spring in DC? You wrote about it back in November 2025 here, and I wanted to see if there was any new information on when it will open. I ate there when I visited Chicago and loved it, and am excited for it to come to DC!”
I contacted Giordano’s Pizza and they tell me: “We’re planning for early summer.”
STAY TUNED for an exact opening date.
For those unfamiliar:
“The 1” for Chicago-Style Pizza since 1974! World Famous Stuffed Deep Dish, Traditional Thin Crust, and Tavern-Style.”
“Its creation began in a small northern Italian town near Torino, Italy. Mama Giordano was famous around town for her exquisite cooking. Of all her renowned dishes, her most beloved meal was her “Italian Easter Pie”. Mama Giordano would serve this double- crusted, cheese stuffed masterpiece on special occasions. This pizza pie became a sacred tradition in the Giordano family and a legend in the town of Torino. Years later, Italian immigrants Efren and Joseph Boglio moved to Chicago to start their own pizza business. The brothers introduced their Mama’s recipe for stuffed pizza. In 1974, on Chicago’s historic south side, Efren and Joseph opened the first Giordano’s in the world. Over the next 40 years and counting, millions of happy and loyal fans as well as hundreds of critics call Giordano’s the city’s “best” stuffed pizza! The rest is history you can still taste today, along with our other great starters, fresh salads, outstanding pastas and unique sandwiches.
Giordano’s is constantly making headlines, both in Chicago and nationally. The brand garners frequent media coverage and continuously tops “Best Pizza” lists and dining guides. Giordano’s has been acclaimed “Chicago’s Best Pizza” by NBC, CBS Chicago, New York Times, Chicago Magazine, Chicago Tribune, Chicago Eater, Home & Garden Magazine, Concierge Preferred and more!”
