Giovanni’s Pizza & Pasta

An OK pizza shop. Extensive menu with lots of options. Ordered pizza, wings and zepolli’s. Pizza and wings were «Eh, Ok» at best. Dough was a little chewy, sauce didn’t blow us away and wings were OK as its looks like they they had been deep fried and drizzled with some mild hot sauce. Zepolli’s we’re easily the best part of the meal (but fried dough with sprinkled sugar is tough to mess up). Customer service was ok as well. Overall a 2.5 star experience.

I struggle writing this because the food was actually very good. My wife had a chicken cutlet sandwich and I got the chicken wrap with bacon, honey mustard and LT.
Here’s where my rating came in. We placed the order via phone by referencing an online menu. I asked for the Chicken Dijon Wrap and the Chicken Cutlet Sandwich with Lettuce, tomatoes and italian dressing. When my wife got back the 2^nd sandwich turned into a chicken parm. No big deal right? Wrong! I call back and the woman who took my order was very adamant that I ordered a chicken parm because I said chicken cutlet. Now, my wife can’t have cheese or red sauce, so I’m 100% sure of what I said. She argued it and was rude. Then said ok fine but you have to give the chicken parm back. Now, I don’t care about that but that’s gross. What will you do with it? Lastly, she just hung up after «fixing» the order. Um, do you expect us to pick it up? That’s now how I work. I called back and had to ask them to deliver.
Again, the food is actually tasty and well cooked. But to be honest, the woman was real rude and a challenge. Being that there’s many pizza places in the area with much nicer staff, we’ll pass on Giovanni’s.

The pizza was good but I was disappointed to learn that the delivery drivers don’t get tips that are paid on credit cards through GrubHub. I did not have cash on hand and left a nice tip on my card, but the driver didn’t see a cent on it. I felt awful accepting the delivery when I learned he wasn’t being properly compensated for his time. I don’t think I will order from here again.

Giovanni’s is my go to spot whenever I feel like ordering. They make amazing food, especially the chicken Marsala pizza (which i highly recommend) they just never disappoint. Great food and fast delivery. If I could I’ll give them 10 stars!

Loved the pizza and garlic knots… The staff was great and the pizza was outstanding!!! Best in the area by far…

Giovanni’s is an amazing pizza restaurant. I moved to the East Coast for a year on a work rotation and naturally was recommended dozens of amazing pizza restaurants by friends and coworkers. After diligently making my rounds to a plethora of delicious pizzerias, I happened upon Giovanni’s one evening. Of all the pizza I tried, Giovanni’s was either the best or a close second.
What makes the pizza so good? It is fresh; really fresh. Johnny takes pride in picking the freshest ingredients. Usually made before your eyes, the pizza is hot and delicious. The tomato tastes like tomato, rather than water or paste. The cheese is ample, but not overwhelming. And the bread is always soft and in proportion to the other ingredients (it’s not cheesy bread – it’s pizza!).
So, if you are nearby, I highly recommend Giovanni’s. Talk to Johnny and ask him about how he got into pizza making (he is a pedigreed pizza maker!). And befriend Doris, since she likes to give free extras.

Pretty standard pizza place if you ask me. Not sure what all the hoopla is about they’re not reinventing the wheel over here.

Great pizza, slices are reasonably priced, and Giovanni treats you well. I work across the street and go here for lunch all the time. Usually about $ 7 for two really delicious slices.
If you have a bit of time, ask for a double baked margherita pizza with fresh mozz. It takes longer to make, but Giovanni made it for me and a buddy who grew up in Baldwin on Long Island. He’s a pretty picky pizza critic and gave it his stamp of approval.
Haven’t tried many other menu items but the calzones are good and stuffed nice and full.
Only downside is that whole pies are a little on the pricey side — I spent $ 40 on two large pies and some knots a while ago.

Fries was hot and crispy. Ziti in red sauce was good. Really love the flavor of their pasta sauce. And lastly, tortellini in Alfredo sauce. The tortellini was so soft and I love it! The sauce is salty, thin and very garlicky. Would give it 5 stars if it wasn’t too salty.

Perfect pizza, right amount of sauce, and friendly staff. Even threw in a half dozen garlic knots for free. Definitely recommend this place!
OH! Even taped the box shut since it was a to-​go order. We ALL know how pizza boxes love to come open in the car and either shit around, the box sometimes comes apart, and loses the heat by the time you get home.

There’s a cute little old Italian lady who speaks no English behind the counter. The pies are a little expensive, but you get a LOT of quantity. The pizza is good and so are the pasta dishes. Somehow, the calamari is excellent.
It’s not fancy, but its good food and a good value.
