\"<div<\/a>Brothers Efren and Joseph Boglio were born in a small town near Turin, Italy.<\/p>\n

The brothers first immigrated to Argentina and subsequently \u00a0to the US. Upon arriving in America, Efren began working at a pizzeria in Chicago, but he was not satisfied with the pizzas he tasted and decided to open his own restaurant, Roma.<\/p>\n

When Joseph came to Chicago, Efren has stated they decided to open a restaurant using their\u00a0old family recipes and after experimenting over several months developed the stuffed pizza, finding Giordano’s in 1974.<\/p>\n

A couple owners and one bankruptcy later, Giordanos is prospering and on a tear to expand nationwide, and have opened restaurants\"Giordanos<\/a><\/strong> outside of the Chicago area.<\/p>\n

Their specialty is “stuffed pizza” which is a form of deep dish, but unlike most of the chains “deep dish” that focus on way too much dough, \u00a0the emphasis here is on quantity of ingredients and the sauce is always on top.<\/p>\n

We were at the St. Charles, IL location and served by Ilona. She did a great job, maintained her humor, despite (it seemed to me) having too many tables she was responsible for.<\/p>\n

We ordered the large stuffed, sausage only, and it was superb.<\/p>\n

The pizzas REALLY DO look like the ones in the TV commercials. \u00a0One large pie (served four and their were leftovers, 1 beer, 3 soft drinks, tip, \u00a0around
\n$42.<\/p>\n
