Giordanos was born from a simple, powerful idea: bring the authentic taste of giordano's Italian cooking to the heart of Orlando. In 1999, our founders — a family deeply rooted in Neapolitan food tradition — opened the doors to what would become one of Florida's most beloved Italian restaurants.
Every recipe at Giordanos traces back to generations of home cooking. Our giordanos pizza — golden, airy, and generously topped — was the dish that first won Orlando's hearts. We hand-stretch every dough, simmer our sauces from scratch, and import select ingredients from Italy to ensure every bite tastes exactly as it should.
"We don't just serve food — we share a piece of our family with every plate we send to your table."
Today, Giordanos serves thousands of guests each month, from locals celebrating milestones to visitors discovering Orlando's culinary scene. Yet our kitchen still runs on the same values it always has: fresh ingredients, honest cooking, and warm hospitality.
At Giordanos, everything we do is guided by a clear purpose: deliver exceptional giordanos food experiences rooted in authenticity, community, and quality.
We source only the finest local and imported ingredients. Every giordanos dish starts with produce that is seasonal, honest, and full of flavor.
Our chefs pour heart and soul into every recipe. From handcrafted giordano's pizza dough to slow-simmered sauces, love is our secret ingredient.
Giordanos is more than a restaurant — it's a gathering place. We are proud to be part of the Orlando community and give back whenever we can.
We are committed to eco-conscious practices — reducing waste, using recyclable packaging, and supporting sustainable food sourcing across our supply chain.
From humble beginnings to a full-service Italian restaurant, here is the story of how Giordanos grew into the giordano's dining destination it is today.
Giordanos opens its doors on S Apopka Vineland Rd in Orlando. Our first giordanos pizza comes out of the oven — and it sells out within hours. The community falls in love instantly.
After five years of perfecting our giordano's pizza, we expand into pasta, antipasti, and desserts — bringing the full breadth of Italian cuisine to our loyal guests.
Giordanos receives the Orlando Dining Excellence Award. Our giordanos pizza is named one of the top 10 pizzas in Florida by a regional food magazine.
We launch our full catering service, bringing the authentic giordano's experience to weddings, corporate events, and private celebrations across Central Florida.
Giordanos launches online ordering to serve our community better. Our giordanos dishes now reach guests at home, bringing restaurant-quality Italian food to every doorstep.
With over 25 years of history, Giordanos continues to evolve — new seasonal dishes, a refreshed dining space — but the giordano's soul remains exactly the same.
Our talented, passionate team is the heartbeat of Giordanos. Every day, they bring the giordano's tradition to life — one dish, one smile, one guest at a time.
