Giordano\u2019s, a Chicago-based pizza chain, is coming back to Wisconsin with locations in Madison and Kenosha, according to their \u201cOpening Soon\u201d page<\/a>. They previously had a location in Milwaukee, though it closed at least a decade ago, leaving the state Giordano-less.<\/p>\n

The restaurant specializes in stuffed pizza, which is a different breed than the Chicago deep dish peddled by spots like Lou Malnati\u2019s and Pizzeria Uno. It features a butter-laden ring of doughy crust around the pan, and an inordinate amount of mozzarella sandwiched between dough. The top crust is so thin that it\u2019s not very noticeable under the sauce, but it\u2019s there.<\/p>\n

As I learned through my extensive research while attending college in Chicago, Giordano\u2019s spinach stuffed pizzas are the best thing on the menu. They mix fresh spinach with even more cheese and of all things, poppy seeds \u2014 at least, they used to. I\u2019ll enjoy finding out whether those poppy seeds are still in there.<\/p>\n

And for those of you who turn your nose up at Chicago-style pizza because it\u2019s a \u201ccasserole\u201c (that probably includes a lot of Chicago expats), you\u2019ll be glad to hear their Chicago-style thin crust is pretty tasty and familiar, too. It\u2019s a leavened cracker crust cut into squares. In both cases, they proudly call out using Wisconsin cheese on the menu<\/a>, so it\u2019s about damn time they got back here.<\/p>\n

We have no specific location information yet, but we\u2019ll let you know when we do. Any guesses? My money\u2019s on Middleton, though I selfishly hope it\u2019s East Side or Sun Prairie. Either way, I’m hyped.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
