This place is fantastic. I have been going here since 1999 when they were at their Niles location. The Italian beef sandwich is the best that I’ve had(get it wet). The next best is their Panzerotti, they cook it fresh and while it will give you a heart attack, its friend dough and cheese perfection. This place is a gem in Des Plaines.

Might be my favorite thin crust pizza ever. Bold statement, I know, but it’s that damn good. My dad and I would always go here when they were located in Niles by the Home Depot. I recently rediscovered this pizza at their new location after quite some time, and wow did I miss it. I will purchase a whole pizza here every week if they promise to never retire! It’s just so good! The crust, the sauce, the cheese, the meat– perfecto. There’s nothing fancy about it, no bells and whistles. It’s simple, good, tasty, cooked the way it’s supposed to be, pizza done right kind of pizza.

Gigio’s is my pizza by the slice home base about twice a week for many months now. This place is constantly turning out fresh cheese, pepperoni, sausage and vegetable slices such that each is available for pickup to get you out the door in about 2 – 3 minutes. Gigio’s is an authentic Italian family-owned and operated establishment and it is clear that they take great pride in the delicious wood-fired oven cooked pizzas and excellent, friendly service. Daily specials from the pasta menu are also offered, though I haven’t had the chance to try yet. See you soon, Gigio’s!

We had a delicious Manicotti dinner, with a large Italian salad delivered to us, hot, fresh, and in a box so the food didn’t get crushed. Delicious, homemade, Italian food. Cannoli’s are fabulous with fresh crisp shells.

This is just for the pizza. I have yet to try the other fares this place has to offer. 5 stars ??? REALLY ??? I might have believed 3 just for the nice old lady at the register. Coming from N/W Chicago I grew up surrounded by GREAT pizza places. Now I have moved to Des Plaines I am looking for what I have left behind … Gigio’s doesn’t rate. Maybe I showed up on REALLY bad days and they were running out of mozzarella but both times I have seen more cheese on a frozen Jacks pizza. Both times Pizza’s were underdone, sausage was good but wasn’t enough of it. Prices were cheap … but now understandable as to why. If I wanted bad pizza I would go to Little Caesars or Dominos at least compared to Gigio’s their pizzas are worth the money. Seek out Allegretti’s or Adreani’s or Via Bella’s or … anywhere else.

We love this pizza! Recently, I stopped by for a slice and tried their eggplant and peppers pizza, it was amazing! A bit pricey but so worth it.

My wife and I were on a business trip to Chicago for a long weekend, and happened to be craving some New York style pizza. We saw Gigio’s listed nearby with good reviews. We were extremely pleased with our visit! The restaurant is family-run, and the family was extremely nice to us. We decided to try the sausage pizza with a caprese salad. The caprese salad was seriously one of the most delicious things we had ever eaten. The ingredients were obviously fresh, and the presentation was amazing. The pizza was very good as well. The only criticism is that the pizza was slightly greasy, so the cheese easily slid off. This was a minor issue, as the crust was perfect and the cheese mouth-watering. If we moved to Chicago, we definitely come back often!

I’ve never strayed from the pizza but why fix what ain’t broken? Absolutely top-notch thin crust with fabulous cheese and a great sauce. Mama Nitti knows what she is doing and the boys have learned from the master. Large slices for $ 3 in 2015!!! That’s a win.

Used to be a great pizza place… slowly the food got greasy and tasteless… really disappointing considering I’m so close by.

Stopped here on the way home from buying our new motorcycle. I ordered a meatball sandwich with mozarella and my husband ordered the Italian beef. Both of us got french fries and diet coke. Meatball sandwich was good… Italian beef was mediocre according to my husband. His opinion was that it was frozen beef. The French fries were good… a lot for the money. they promised free refills but my husband went up to the counter for his second refill and was told«you only get 1»…this said. customer service fair… food not bad. …

We ordered carry-out early on a Friday evening using GrubHub and paying via PayPal. Nice idea. Our veggie pizza was delicious. Not greasy and the ingredients tasted very fresh. Hubs tried the pizza bread and I also had onion rings. 4⁄5 because the onion rings were soggy, not crispy at all. Will likely be back again; not too close to where we live though, so it might be awhile.

I was expecting the pizza to be something I’d crave in a few days… Unfortunately it was just okay to me. The people working were very kind.

Put an order Sunday on Grubhub 8:05pm. I received a confirmation saying my pizza would be at my house 9:35pm. 10:05pm no pizza, I call and nonanswer. I call Grubhub and the guy says that it has been a problem all day, they we probably closed for the holiday. Well since I just waited 2 hours for pizza and I received a confirmation maybe Grubhub and Gigios can get on the same page. He says maybe I should cancel my Grubhub account and go somewhere else for my food. Great customer service on both parts. Grubhub order #229550136

Awesome service and great food to staff is friendly and the place is always clean when I go to pick up my niece at night sometimes I stopped in here to grab something from my mom and she gobbles down the lasagna like theres no tomorrow. The ravioli is pretty good too. It’s like $ 11 for a serving which is like one of those aluminum trays to take home so I’m not sure if it’s a little pricey or not but the quality is totally there. They have parking on the side I park on front on the Main Street because it’s easier just to get out that way in the seating area isn’t huge but it’s nice. Bathrooms also always clean.

Based on other reviews, I had great hope for the pizza here. I am a NY style pizza fan, and it’s hard to find in Chicago. Imagine that. Nice clean place. The woman behind the register has owned it since they had a place in Niles. Very friendly. The pizza – meh. Crust was average and space, too. At best. This may deserve a 2 star, but based on other evens, have to give them one. Oh, and you don’t cut NY style pizza into squares!

I’m a New Yorker at heart who is new to the area looking for a good pizza. Boy did I find one. I’ve been here twice and ill definitely be coming back. Second time I ordered my favorite white pizza. Mozzarella, ricotta, garlic, and basil. It was perfect. The crust is delicious and it’s perfect flavor. I live near by so I didn’t bother with delivery. Besides I’ll take a 5 min drive and have the pizza in 20 min. Person taking the order is super friendly and polite. Service is great. Looking over the menu I may want to try few dinner dishes that offer. I’m sure I’ll be satisfied.
