They told us it would be a 15 minute wait, and then told us that we could order the pizza while waiting for a table since it took 45 min to get a pizza made. This was a little concerning but we figured what the hell, the place is packed, it must be really good.<\/p>\n<p>We started with the bruschetta appetizer. It had really good flavor and was actually a really large portion.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/7866431056\/\" title=\"2012-08-26 14.22.12.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8446\/7866431056_de88371121.jpg\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"2012-08-26 14.22.12.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The pizza was not just large, it was gigantic.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/7866757286\/\" title=\"2012-08-26 15.06.59.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7117\/7866757286_b94bbfacfd.jpg\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"2012-08-26 15.06.59.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"float:left; padding-right:10px; padding-top:5px;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/r\/2\/12796\/restaurant\/Loop\/Giordanos-Pizza-Chicago\" ><img alt=\"Giordano's Pizza on Urbanspoon\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/b\/link\/12796\/biglink.gif\" style=\"border:none;padding:0px;width:200px;height:146px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>This was a medium three topping stuffed deep dish pizza.
