The employees are fine but the customers are pretty mean and rude. Aside from that the pizza slices I got were hard as bricks. Barely any sauce and the cheese looked like it'd been on the pizza for a few hours. It's also way too expensive for what you're paying for too. If I want a slice I'll just get one from Desalvos or Rosatis and I don't plan on paying for something from here again.

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.

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.

Unfortunately, today was a completely different experience. I waited about 12 minutes for a fresh slice, but when I got to the car and took a bite, the pizza was soggy, the crust literally fell apart, and the inside was cold. The cheese and pepperoni still felt like they had just come out of the freezer. It wasn’t just soft from being hot — it was genuinely cold and undercooked. I even felt like I was getting a stomachache just from that bite.
What makes it worse is that I literally ended up throwing away seven dollars into the garbage, because honestly, that’s what they sold me — garbage. I’m really disappointed because Gigio’s is usually reliable and has always delivered great pizza for me. Hopefully, this was just a one-off bad day, because I’d hate to think this is the new standard for a place that’s been one of my go-tos.

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 👍🏻

Only came in because the ramen place next to it was closed for the day.
Whole restaurant smelled a bit like dirty jet fuel and the food tasted like it too. I think this place has got dirty oil/appliances, honestly. The table we sat at still had old food on it and had definitely not been cleaned.
Halfway through our meal, a kid came in with a barking dog (definitely not a service dog, it was extremely poorly behaved and was not at all well mannered and obviously wasn't doing a thing for its owner) and was allowed to sit in the restaurant while he waited for his food, allowing the dog to bark and shake its dander everywhere multiple times, which is a massive health code violation.
Didn't eat most of the food I ordered, it was gross. Here's hoping I don't get food poisoning from the food I did eat, given their clear lack of attention to health and safety regulations. Perhaps a call in to the health inspector might be in order?
Always good customer service and can order food2your perfection.

Italian eats you say? Mexican guys running the place so the few Mexican options must be legit. Get the impossible Burger one of the cheapest in the city. The slices are freshest before the lunch rush, when you'll want to get there before.

Gigios is a great place to get a quick slice and a drink in downtown Evanston. Check them out.
