Well, the effect is basically the same. Put a Gino's pizza and a Giordano's one next to each other, and they're largely indistinguishable. I love both their sausages -- it's such a Chicago signature and better than anywhere else -- and, for me, it's hard to beat the Gino's patty on the bottom. BUT ... you're right. Giordano's is a half-notch better at the moment. I completely agree on overall quality. Go Giordano's.
