Giordano's of Peoria

The recipe for Giordanos now-famous stuffed pizza is one that has evolved over 200 years.

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 Mamas recipe for stuffed pizza. In 1974, on Chicagos historic south side, Efren and Joseph opened the first Giordanos in the world. Over the next 40 years and counting, millions of happy and loyal fans as well as hundreds of critics call Giordanos the citys best stuffed pizza! The rest is the history you can still taste today, along with our other great starters, fresh salads, outstanding kinds of pasta and unique sandwiches.
