Living Local 15's Giordano's review

2025-12-09

Jessica Williams sits down with Ryan at Giordano's in Fort Wayne, and he walks her through three pizzas. First up is the new tavern-style, a thin and crispy pie with cheese kneaded into the dough and a 4 to 6 hour proof. Then comes the traditional thin crust special with sausage, mushroom, onion, and green pepper, which is about double the thickness. Finally, the famous deep dish gets its moment, with a second layer of dough and a 40 to 45 minute bake. Ryan also plugs the Save and Wait holiday deal and a $45 meal for two during Savor Fort Wayne. I'd need a nap after all that.

• The new tavern-style is thin, crispy, and about 40% less ingredients than the traditional thin crust.
• The traditional thin special has sausage, mushroom, onion, and green pepper, and it's about double the thickness of the tavern.
• The deep dish takes 40 to 45 minutes and a small feeds 2 to 3 people.
• Save and Wait: order about 7 hours ahead, freeze any pizza; buy two get $5 off, buy three get a free thermal bag.
• Savor Fort Wayne in January: a meal for two for $45, saving $30 to $45.
