Chicago Style at Giordano's

Pizza is coming, golf is coming, all kinds of things hidden in the daily mix, but listen if you ever really wanted to decide, okay, what's the family going to eat on any given day?, what's going to happen? be okay? Katherine is here today, oh sure, Jessie is very excited. this because I worked in South Bend for a while years ago and I was driving to Chicago just for the Chicago

style

pizza, so the fact that Giordano's is now opening their second location in Arizona makes me very happy, that's good, we came to you, we came for you they make the trip yeah it's our 68th location in Arizona the first one was in Arrowhead Peoria and it wasn't that great of a reception we had to open a second one so there are a lot of Chicago transplants here in Arizona so You were especially excited by the fact that you came here for the first time a couple of years ago.

There is now a second location here for people who haven't tried Chicago

style

pizza. It's more than just a deep dish, that's right, so our product is a little different. The rest of the deep dishes in Chicago, a lot of other deep dishes have a thicker crust, while we have a thinner crust, but we load them with cheese and all the delicious toppings, it's stuffed pizza, yes. It's like a pie, you know, it's a pizza pie, we have a crust on the bottom and a crust on the top. The other thing that really sets us apart is that you know all of our products.

We use a fancy word called proprietary, which means "they're ours, no one else in the world gets them, so our dough, our sauce, our meats, our cheeses, the only place in the world you can get them is that Giordano, it's okay, so you're going to walk us through the process of making your pizza, yes, it's a The 10 step process is, it takes a village, a big village, so we start with a lightly buttered pan, while on other dishes deep dishes use a lot of oil and are fried in the oven, although people use a very thin layer margarine and then we take our famous dough here which is made by our own hands look at that here and that is a little thicker it is the deep dish yes exactly so this goes right on top here like easy right? and then just wow!

By the way, let me clear this up while you do that. I want to mention that the new location is across from the Paradise Valley Mall, yeah, and it's on Tatum mm- hmm again, it's the second location in Arizona and We actually had a pop-up at the Cubs spring training stadium not long ago. We all drove our food truck from Chicago all the way up here to Arizona to surprise all the Cubs fans with a little piece of home, which is really nice, yeah, they always appreciate it. Okay, this is one of our most popular pizzas, this is the Chicago classic, so like I said, it starts with the dough and then a nice thick layer, so I was going to ask you which one is the most popular, it's this, yes, yes, answer.

Chicago, do you have? You can create an infinite number of combinations with our toppings, but we have eight specialty pizzas as we call them, which are just pre-made pizzas on the menu, okay, a generous slice, a generous slice of pepperoni, pepperoni and then on top. of pepper now, this may seem like a crazy amount of cheese, but this is what makes it good, so this is our special mozzarella blend in the Ella world, it's formulated especially for us at this Wisconsin farmers cooperative, oh , that is. Fantastic, so it's true Wisconsin cheese. We use more than three tons of cheese a year.

Oh my goodness, in addition to this we have our vegetables and this one has roasted onions, green peppers and mushrooms. Mm-hmm goes right along the way. I drive next to you. all the time and I've been watching the construction Oh, waiting, waiting, for the people at home thinking the same thing, when do they officially open? We open efficiently today to the public, so we will be open for dinner and only dinner until Satta until Saturday and then Saturday comes, we are open from 11:00 until okay, fantastic, so you have the other layer, yes, like a cake, this goes right on top, you make some holes so it doesn't explode, by the way, no.

Don't do this if you're on a diet, yes, but we should keep in mind that you have some gluten-free options. We have gluten-free pizza. We also have thin and extra thin pizza, so we're not just deep dish. Okay, fantastic. this is sealed around here like a cake, like a bomb, only this is a really special cake, so again open to the public now no, yeah, and it's Giordano's again, it's on Tatum, it's in front of the Paradise Valley Mall, Unfortunately Jessie, we're out of time, oh. You can see the finished product here and it looks delicious.

Yes, we are very glad you are here. It is an authentic Chicago style pizza. We certainly appreciate you joining us and bringing us enough to eat. Oh, later, I will. Really excited, thank you very much, yes, good to see you.
