Gigio's

When I don’t know what to eat I go to Gigio’s! Chill place in Evanston, the crew is pretty friendly and they work hard. I always go for the single slices for a quick lunch. The classic cheese pizza never misses either, their dough is perfect just make sure to ask for extra baking time if you want it crispier. They also do fire birria tacos! The whole menu is great you’ll always find something good here 👍🏻

We went for a group event and ordered 3 extra large pizzas. Pizza was NY style; piping hot and foldable. The sauce was good, the crust was chewy but not tough. The place is super casual and serves pizza by the slice.

Well I had high hopes. I used to come here years ago and it was great! I grab a slice when I came back from the beach and that would be my dinner. And it was delicious. This was anything but. After I gave the man my money I was able to see over the counter. There was four pizzas literally sitting out in the open uncovered completely dried out. I thought there's no way that this is going to be what my slices are coming from. Sadly it was. These dried out pies were uncovered, able to collect dust dirt and spit from anyone that was talking around them. Don't even get me started in the cleanliness of the place. I thought maybe looks are deceiving and it'll be better than I thought. He had put the pizzas to reheat them in the pizza oven. So I thought maybe we have a chance. Absolute tasteless g

Evanston institution. Perfect pizza joint in downtown Evanston. Great place to grab a quick slice. They have great option of non pizza food too, love their tacos! Always quick and efficient service.

We've been coming to Gigio's for over 40 years. It was always a staple place to get a slice of fantastic pizza. Great memories from our young dating days. We've been so disappointed the past 2 times We've been here. We now live an hr away now but still like to visit our old stomping ground. We've noticed that the pizza slices are now super greasy (we had to use a ton of napkins to blot the grease) and very soggy. Don't know if they changed the crust recipe or don't bake the pizza long enough or what. The restaurant itself is pretty dirty. It's never been super clean, but it's worse than ever. Dirty tables, garbage cans covered in dirty food and grime, bathroom hallway stinks and ceiling leaking all over.
