For some reason, we get menus and even look at them, and then we order the exact same thing every time. BUT!!! I will say this: tonight there was a wait! So we sat at the bar waiting for a table, and got a glass of wine!!! THAT'S DIFFERENT for us! Our order: Wifey - Stuffed shells, garden salad, hot honey pizza Me - Meatball/spaghetti, anti-pasta salad, hot honey pizza (This was actually a new main dish for Honey. He decided he wanted a tried and true Italian standby. So I guess we didn't get the exact same thing! ) Just FYI, we take the pizza home after grabbing a slice as an appetizer! And, per usual, everything was just SO tasty. They have never failed us. Anyway, always just great food, nice people, and a great time! They can get busy, especially during key times! But we all know what that means! What are you waiting for! Go eat at Joes! A short review, but, just an update on a place that is always five-stars.

I have eat pizza all across this country, this has the best crust, toppings and seasonings. I will return for the pie. As for the bread sticks..... They were absolutely plain, no butter, seasoning what do ever, it's my opinion they are no different than the plain bread sticks you buy at the store, yuk !! Never again will I buy them again.

Not to mention, we were served only 4 out of 5 plates for my party, was not asked if we needed refills, napkins, OR Parmesan, and the straws offered were crinkled and weak.

I like this place enough that we get it 2-3 times a year even though we live about an hour away (driving 2 hours out of your way with no other errands or stops along the route is a lot for pizza). It's clean, just off the highway, and attached to a hotel. Every time we go I think of all of the restaurants attached to hotels that I have had when traveling for work and how few of them were even in the same approximate quality realm as this place. The wait staff have always been pleasant and competent with a couple of stand out great experiences. But the food - the bone in wings are good. They are normal sized, not steroid franken-chicken. There are several sauce options, but we like the traditional buffalo. Salad is good. Like the wings, it is solid. The pizza is why we go. We get the Chicago style although the thin crust is decent, too. The sausage and pepperoni are balanced, the vegetables delicious, the crust and tomatoes very nice, and best of all the cheese is mozzarella and old school. Nothing tastes plasticky and frankenfood. It reminds me of restaurants 25 years ago. Highly recommend, even if it's a long drive.

I've really only seen their name on the highway food/restaurants signs, and those restaurants I feel like tend to be a little meh so my expectations were dampened. BUT all the reviews here were so high I didn't know what to expect. Didn't realize I was going to have one of the best pizzas I've ever eaten before. We ordered the Rams Special which is like a supreme pizza but with bacon which makes it the best supreme pizza I've had. We demolished that pizza. Besides that we ordered at the counter and they were very quick with the order, I feel like we didn't have to wait very long for the pizza, especially considering this is a sit down restaurant as well. They had lots of local decor on the walls which was fun to look at and pass the time.

We went on 5 June...we were in our hotel still, awaiting household shipment. It was raining very hard but we had read about Gianni's and wanted to give it a shot. We were greeted by the owner, and had a great conversation with her while we waited for the food. It was like catching up with an old friend. She was warm, kind and delightful. We felt like we were visiting a home, the decorations were clean and elegant. I look forward to getting back over for a sit down. I had lasagna, and my wife had pasta Alfredo. Both meals came with a pretty big salad, and bread sticks. The dressing was fantastic, I think a simple oil & vinegar based with a great herb note to it. Both pasta dishes were excellent, a good healthy portion (I was stuffed but ate every bite of everything because it was good.
