It’s been circling the drain for a few years. We went in one Saturday a couple of years back and it was dead.

Giordano's is opening a branch downtown.

Though I will say that while I loved Armand's I never really considered it "Chicago Style." It was certainly "deep dish" but not anything like Chicago deep dish.

Too bad it’s not a Gino’s east…but Giordanos will do.

I didn’t even know the Rockville one was still open till now. I used to go to the Silver Spring one back in the 1990s and 2000s.

+1 I was shocked a few years ago when my stepmother said she still ate there once in a while. Had no idea. HS Class of 1990 here, I remember they made heart-shaped pizza on Valentine’s Day.
