Brothers Efren and Joseph Boglio were born in a small town near Turin, Italy, where their mother had been known for the quality of her recipes. His family was most fond of her Easter pizza pies. The brothers first immigrated to Argentina and subsequently (separately) to the US. Upon arriving in America, Efren began working at a pizzeria in Chicago, but he was not satisfied with the pizzas he tasted and decided to open his own restaurant, Roma. When Joseph came to Chicago, Efren has stated they decided to open a restaurant using their mother's recipe and after experimenting over several months developed the stuffed pizza. In 1974, they founded Giordano's.
This type of pizza taken from scarciedda, an Easter dish common to Basilicata and Apulia, two regions of Italy.
The stuffed pizza at Giordano's has a top and bottom crust with cheese stuffed in between and the option of additional toppings in the middle such as pepperoni, Italian sausage, and spinach, while sauce and parmesan are added on top of the crust.
In addition to its stuffed pizza, Giordano's offers traditional thin crust pizzas, which take half as much time to cook and use the same toppings.
