Chicago’s Most Iconic Deep Dish
For over 50 years, Giordano’s has set the standard for Chicago-style deep dish pizza. With nearly 60 locations nationwide, it has cemented itself as a Chicago institution that devoted fans travel across the country to experience.
A brand this legendary deserves to reach every corner of the country. Giordano’s partnered with Grip to make it happen.
“Over the past couple of years, we’ve significantly scaled Giordano’s direct-to-consumer business, and we believe there’s still tremendous runway ahead. As the business continues to grow, having a fulfillment partner that can scale alongside us is just as important as the marketing and technology that drive demand. Proud of what our teams have built together, and excited for what’s ahead.” – Dan Gilland, Director of Ecommerce at Giordano’s
Quality That Can’t Be Compromised
Every box of Giordano’s carries decades of sourcing, recipes, and quality standards that cannot be compromised in transit. Shipping frozen food across the country is complex. It requires precise cold-chain management, smart carrier selection, and a facility footprint that gets product to customers quickly without inflating costs.
This is where Grip comes in.
How Grip Powers Giordano’s Nationwide Shipping
Getting Giordano’s to customers across the country takes nationwide infrastructure, AI-driven optimization, and logistics expertise at every step. Here is how Grip delivers on all three.
Nationwide Coverage, Next-Day Speed
Grip operates fulfillment centers strategically located across the country, allowing brands to reach over 80% of the US population within 24 hours.
Giordano’s strategically ships out of three Grip facilities: East Coast, West Coast, and Texas. This has expanded their next-day delivery coverage by over 20%, getting their product to more customers faster and with less reliance on expensive express shipping methods.
Refrigerant Optimization
In frozen and refrigerated ecommerce, many shippers often use a one-size-fits-all approach to refrigerants, over-packing every box to play it safe. That drives up costs on every single shipment.
Grip’s Shipping Engine takes a smarter approach. Our proprietary AI-driven OMS is built to optimize every order in real time. It calculates the precise amount of refrigerant needed for each order, accounting for transit time, destination climate, and routing conditions. The result is a leaner, more cost-efficient pack-out that still maintains full product integrity all the way to the customer’s door.
Smart Carrier Selection
Grip’s Shipping Engine evaluates every order in real time, analyzing delivery zones, carrier performance data, and live rates to select the best carrier for each specific shipment.
Faster deliveries, lower costs, and a carrier strategy that scales with volume. For Giordano’s, this has translated to meaningful shipping cost savings across thousands of weekly shipments.
What This Means for Giordano’s
Thousands of boxes ship every week from three facilities across the country, reaching customers coast to coast with the same quality and care that made Giordano’s an icon in the first place.
Fifty years of craft, now delivered to your doorstep.
