My Iowa-born self had been to Illinois as a kid, but it was just to drive through on our trips to Florida.  We never really stopped to enjoy the food.  To be honest, I didn't even know Chicago was known for any specific food.

Fast-forward a few decades and I ventured into a family with some Illinois roots. During one of our meet-ups, I had a bite of pizza from a place I only knew as Giordano's.  I was told, "You'll only need one piece," and I thought I was sitting in a room full of liars.

Turns out, my husband's side of the family was telling the truth.

If you have never had a slice of Giordano's, you haven't lived life yet.  Thanks to some good news that just popped up in Minnesota, it appears that you'll have an even easier chance to devour some of this amazing pizza.

New Giordano's Pizza Restaurant Opening In Minnesota!

Just a few months ago, our family had a craving for some real deep-dish pizza and didn't even realize that a Giordano's was right here in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.  Thanks to Google, it gave us directions to the famous pizza spot at 3000 W 66th Street in Richfield, Minnesota(The staff here were amazing, btw!)

While everyone is still welcome to visit that location, it appears that a new Giordano's Pizza restaurant will be opening soon in our state.
