Food was great! I almost didn't come because of the other yelp reviews, but the Server had hospitality, and place was very clean . Will be returning read more

I've gone to this place a few times and I will say I find their pizza to be good. Aside from that, the other dishes I've had were just ok. I'm reviewing today because we ordered the chicken parm and chicken francaise and the francaise was bland and tasted more like the egg mixture for the breading than anything else. The parm was alright and had more flavor but probably due to the sauce and cheese. For the price it was not worth it at all and it was such a let down. The inside is nice and feels homey and I believe they're also byob but I wouldn't visit again aside for a quick slice. read more

Had eggplant parm last evening it was burnt black and covered with sauce and cheese then the cheese was burnt. Also ordered shrimp parm all breading with small shrimp, pasta on both were so overcooked it was not eatable. Unbelievable for the price.. read more

i used to love this place. Thin crust pizza. Nice owners. Last 2 times cough was like cardboard pizza was burnt we couldn't even eat it. Not sure if it was sold but we were very disappointed won't be going back read more

So the pizza isn't bad but it's not necessarily a place I'd order from again unless I was in the area. The crust was buttery and crispy around the edges but a little soggy toward the middle of the pizza. Tasted pretty good and it looked nice out of the box. I just would have preferred the crisp to be consistent through the entire pie. Maybe I'd try them again. read more

Don Giovanni - 16" Grandma Pie - Pizza Near Me - South Amboy, New Jersey

I'm very disappointed. The food was subpar. The garlic bread was not even as good as the Shoprite garlic bread that comes in that foil bag. Calamari was half battered and looked half cooked. Broccoli rabe was all stalk. Wings? 8 wings 50% batter. Was it because it was Sunday night? Was it because it was delivery? I expected better...at least a decent presentation. They've been there for years. They need to do better. read more

Nice pizza. I never dined in this place but I ordered few times. I like it. Recommend.

The best Sicilian pie anywhere in New Jersey! A big shout out to the owner who fixed Uber's big problem by sending my food with a driver on her own after waiting two hours for Uber only to deliver the wrong food! Their Sicilian pie reminds me of the Sicilian pies we used to get back in Brooklyn. Simply irresistible and the best! read more

Don Giovanni - Sicilian pie - Pizza Near Me - South Amboy, New Jersey

The flavor in the food is lacking; the chicken parm had barely melted cheese, the garlic cheese bread lacked garlic and proper melting, the chicken franchise tasted like bland noodles with a hint of lemon. The zeppoles were hard, reminiscent of stale bagels with sugar. And the frozen wings are trash it's 90% batter. The only thing that was decent was the calamari and that was only after air frying them some more to make them crunchy. read more

The pizza is really very tasty. I haven't tried this for a long time. I didn't even expect it. It tastes just fine.

The place could be ideal for families b/c it's casual and you can get a single slice but it's nicer than a 'regular' pizza place and they have a liquor license. We ordered a pizza and waited and waited and then realized our pizza was done - just no one brought it out. read more

WHY did I try again? Not sure, but I won't make the mistake again. I thought perhaps if we dined in house, rather than delivery, the food would be better. No! Lets start with this glass of wine, first I'm not a five year old, nor am I dining al fresco, then MAYBE I would understand plastic wine glasses, but in a nice 'fine dining' restaurant it just feels cheap, then to boot I get about a quarter filled plastic cup, instead of a full glass of wine for the price of a full glass, again cheap. The salmon special was just gross what a waste of money, it looked pretty but the chips were burnt tasting snd the salmon was SO overcooked and dry, yuck! Waitress didn't even ask why I didn't eat it, I mean really one bite was gone and one chip, other than that she took it away exactly how it was delivered. WHY can't they pull it together, its a cute place, such a shame. read more

If you are trying to make a living working for a delivery service, do yourself a favor and do not accept orders from this restaurant. Waited over an hour for food to be ready......along with 6 other delivery drivers. They should not be allowed to use any of the delivery services. They were 51 orders behind!!!! read more

This place is open again. I think under new ownership. They have switched it up and done a more take out/slice menu. Not sure the pizza is the same yet: Great Italian pizza. The pizza dough is special. Can't believe I am tasting Italy here in little ole' South Amboy. Order more pizza than you think you can eat. They go down easy and then it's all gone. Looking forward to any pasta dishes they may start to make. read more

Whoever is the owner of the grey Jeep Grand Cherokee here is either a dick or a moron. I pulled into their puny parking lot that had cars with flats & body damage like I was pulling into a buy here pay here spot.. Only for this genius to pull in right behind me almost entirely blocking me in. Spent an unnecessary amount of time trying to pull out of your diminutive parking lot because you lacked common sense. You'll rue the day someone who is a bigger moron than you clips your precious POS. Be more aware of your customers when they pull in & take those damn cars out of your parking lot. Completely unprofessional. & their pizza is eh. read more

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. This place used to be my go to favorite place for pizza by the waterfront. I returned here after six months bc of COVID distancing and ordered a veggie pie to go. They gave me the wrong pie. Thank goodness it was also meat free that we were able to eat it. To compensate they gave us one free pie. I figured it was an error and life happens so I said sure and gave them another chance. Once again we ordered veggie pizza. They gave us a CHICKEN pizza. Once called the lady apologized half heartedly and said they would remake it however twice in a row to the same customer? When the restaurant was clearly empty ? I think this place is unprofessional does not verify orders and something has changed. ITS NOT GOOD read more

I'll start with location. I think it's a great spot with lots of street parking (and a small lot in the back). The restaurant itself is beautifully done, very clean and modern. Service was friendly but so slow. Our order took an extremely long time to come out (about 40 minutes for one pie), even though we were practically the only ones there. Our waitress never once checked in with us to let us know what was going on. Now here's my dilemma....I hate to give a new place a bad rating. The food is one of the biggest reasons to return to a place. Maybe we just didn't choose well. We ordered one small margherita pie. The sauce was watery and the crust soggy and tasteless. The cheese did taste pretty fresh. I bumping up my rating and maybe will return to try something different. I'd definitely suggest skipping the margherita pie and maybe going for a traditional. read more

I love their pizza here. I see some negative reviews but this is one of my favorites! I love that they put the cheese all the way to the crust instead of having an inch of sauce. It's also thin crust and not soggy at all! Love and will continue to order here! read more

I love there pizza... I took my first bite and instantly brought me back to my childhood having pizza on the weekends. There wings are FIRE as well rate: 10/10 read more

Im gonna set my review under this Don Giovanni because the logo is the same as what I saw on the menu. Seems this place has had a reopen and there are two reviews listed, one with 14 reviews. I'm all about honesty and giving a fair review so what I write here might sting a little bit, but I promise in the end it won't be so bad. I really wanted to give this place a 4 star rating. The decor seems to fit this place well. Unfortunately, thats not all I can go based on. I started with their sangria. It was very good. I moved onto some appetizers, Friend Raviolis and the Fried Mac N Cheese balls. The raviolis were great, the Mac N Cheese were cold in the middle. I was truly disappointed, but our server was cool about it. Pizza came out. It was a simple plain pie with extra cheese & basil, nothing too crazy. With the place being empty and no pies coming out, I believe the oven was cooking to fast and burnt the bottom of the pie making it taste bad on half of the pie. Th other half was edible. The part that was good, the pizza was delicious. For dessert we had deep fried ice cream. I would scrap that off the menu. Even though we could finish it, I just didn't see this item being popular, it had a funny texture to it. Our server, which might be invested in the place, was super cool about everything and offered me a few items off the bill. His laughter, jokes, and willingness to make it right will allow me to come back to give them another try. I won't give up on them just yet. read more

I would put 0 stars if I could. Advertises contactless delivery and confirmed on phone. They said driver would call and leave food outside the door. Doorbell rang, my son in law opened the door, delivery guy standing there and handing him pen and receipt to sign. I would have turned him away if I was at the door. Called and spoke to "Manager" she said the driver does not understand English very well so he doesn't understand what contactless delivery is so he does it the old way. I told her it's unacceptable and she said, "Sorry your not happy with our staff" This is unacceptable, very unacceptable. It's a shame. read more

First time I ordered from this place. Absolutely sucked. I hate wasting money but I immediately threw the entire thing out and ordered from Mike's Pizza on route 9. This place should just close. If you're looking for a sick day out of work order anything from this place. read more

Starting off, tables and seating was dirty upon sitting at our table. Soft drinks were very tasteless and flat. Food was also very bland. Ordered a meatball parmigiana and meatball could easily be sold off as frozen. Extremely bland. Do not recommend eating here! read more

Ordered here for the first time yesterday.... I ordered a personal pie and my family member ordered a turkey wrap.... Food was good... No complaints.... read more

People beware of this place called King Kale which is linked to Don Giovanni. I ordered a bbq chicken salad through the Uber Eats App. The salad was suppose to have corn, black beans and shredded cheese. Also, on the app it offers extra toppings for the salad that I then therefore, decided to pay extra for which was avocado. When the order arrived the salad was missing half of the ingredients such as the corn , black beans and Avocado ( I paid extra). Not to mention when the salad arrived it had a poor presentation. It looked like a salad that I can make from home! I decided to google the number of this business and there was no phone number listed as I then decided to search by the address so therefore it gave me Don Giovanni. A man answered and I told him my issue with the order and then he apologized and said they have none of those type of ingredients for the salads that are being advertised on Uber Eats! He also stated that this has been going on for a while. Ok, but why not fix it?! People this is a fraud! How can you have false advertisement and charge people extra for supposedly fresh made ingredients. This is absurd and misleading to people who are looking to have a healthy option! Do not order from this place! read more

Ordered pizza for delivery, waited two hour and got ice cold pizzas. Called back to complain., was put on hold for twenty minutes before I just gave up. Will never ever order from this place again. read more

I called and placed an order at 630pm. Here it is 830pm and still no food. I called three times to see when my food would arrive and they told me each time it would be there in 10 min that was over an hour ago. I canceled the order. The reviews were right about this place. Terrible customer service. I probably would have received cold and bland food anyway. read more

Olaced an order . Said it would be done in 30 minutes . Walked over to pick it up and it wasn't even started yet . No apologies just an " well we are busy @ from the girl handling the orders . Now I get she was overwhelmed being the one girl there but an attitude is not what I needed . My pizza was sitting in top of the oven but my food was not done . 20 minutes later my food was done and handed to me again no sorry about the wait . My pizza was cold by this time but I wasn't hanging around anymore . When I got home I took out my fettuccini only to find a half filled container with barley any Alfredo sauce ( see picture ) when I walked back to show them what I recieved they argued with me telling me that was the correct t portion . Really ? 1/2 filled container is the correct amount of pasta . After going back and forth with the guy he reluctantly said he would make me another order. As he gave it to me he says if you want extra pasta you have to ask for it . Nasty . I live 2 blocks away but I wouldn't walk 2 feet to order from them again. Food was good but customer service was horrible read more

Great food, but sometimes you need to ensure that you are given the food the way you ask for it

Good ingredients with poor implementation ! Salads were generous. No fresh ground pepper! We ordered a DOP Magarita pie. It was too wet and the crust limpy! Could use more salt in the dough . Too much money for a medium sized pizza. Dessert and coffees were fresh. read more

Great Pizza & Dinners!!! We come from Somerset just to eat in Don Giovanni's, the food is fabulous, the pizza is about the best we ever tasted, and their chicken francaise is the greatest. Can't say enough about the staff, very helpful and always asking if you need anything. Prices are average and the restaurant is very clean. No complaints here. read more

We were going to Sciortino's and because of the waiting ( 45 min) we decided to give Don Giovanni's a shot. I went there on Friday night and we liked it. It was 3 of us and we had the Margherita, the Bianca and the Amici pizza's. Overall the Pizza is very good, ( its more on the Italian version Vs the American version of Pizza) fresh ingredients and I liked the olive oil twist, on the Pizza's. My daughter ordered Diet Coke and they don't have it. They have some other kind of diet cola that tasted too sweet. The decor is superb, the place looks spotless, the waitress was very friendly and I would go back to this place. read more

Our group Adults) decided to give this place a shot the other night as we have WAITED and WAITED for it to open. We are regulars at Scortinos and while we love it there we wanted a different experience. I read some of the reviews and since they were clearly so mixed we decided to give it a try anyway. It has a very NYC romantic feel. Very.....I want to say fancy but it isn't quit the right word. Anyway We ordered the Calamri(Very good) and the caprase salad for appetizer's good) although my husband isn't a fan of buffalo motz and he was a bit turned off. At any rate we also had 3 glasses of wine, 2 diet soda's (they are no name brand and come in a glass bottle nice touch for the feel of the restaurant but not practical) on they don't have a coke or Pepsi taste. not bad flavor just not the norm for NJ. We ordered the Don Giovanni pizza which can be com paired to an everything pizza but with ham not peperoni and the marghartia which is equivalent to plain. and I gota say while the pizza's were not bad...(different is the word here) they just didn't have any flavor. One review I read said a pizza from Italy. I'd have to agree never being there but I have heard about the pizza in Italy so I guess it is comparable. as I said it isn't bad just not what this Jersey Girl is used to. but...I gotta say, the biggest insult of the night. was the $100 bill when had upon leaving. We could have gotten twice as much food and drank alot more at scortions for that price and felt like I was eating at my grandmother house. It was okay but it wasn't worth the price. I am more then happy to go back there for drinks and apps before catching a train to NY for a show or something but as far as an evening out for pizza and drinks scortinos has my heart..and my taste-buds for that matter. Like I said 4 of us went and 2 of us didnt like it and 2 of us would go back for more. Give it a shot. Just don't over order food because your wallet will be paying the price literally. read more

This place we have given so many chances in hopes it would improve, they consistently forget any extras we order with our order and then despite saying they will be right back with the forgotten items they show up after dinner is done, they dont include bread with any take out meal nor a salad, nor any plates, forks, napkins, cheese, even if you ask for them! I do not believe they care one ounce about their customers satisfaction as long as they get the $$. We are never ordering nor going there ever again. read more

Ordered from here multiple times tried multiple things and honestly they all sucked. Chicken Caesar salad was the only thing I slightly enjoyed here. Not to mention I am currently waiting for one cheese pizza to be delivered and we ordered an hour ago so we called to check in and they tell us they just left and are on their way (we live less then five minutes away) it is now 30 minutes after calling them and we still do not have the cheese pizza we ordered. Get your shit together. UPDATE 8/18/18: We decided to give another try and they messed up again! We ordered just two Caesar salads that cost us $23 a little pricey and we decided to pick the order up this time since delivery was horrible last time. When we opened them up at home there is just lettuce and croutons absolutely no Caesar dressing. How the hell do you mess a salad up. This is he absolute last time we order from here. We have given them sooo many tries and we are never satisfied. I am not the type to write reviews but I just couldn't help it! read more

Good place. Wish they would deliver to more than 5-mile radius but ... Loved the latest additions to their menus. Good place. Wish they would deliver to more than 5-mile radius but ... Loved the latest additions to their menus. read more

The pictures had us excited for some good thick Napolitano style pizza. The pictures on the review must be really old because it was nothing like the picture. It was still pretty good but nothing exceptional than every other pizza shop in NJ. Location: Good area. There's only a few spots in the lot and some street parking. Ambiance: Nice dinner setting Cleanliness: Very clean and modern look. It felt safe eating there. Crust: Okay just seems like its missing something to make it more flavorful Sauce: Good Cheese: Good Selection: Generic. There wasn't anything to set this place apart from the rest. Every place has a buffalo chicken or a chicken bacon ranch pizza these days. Service: Helpful but slow. Our waitress was friendly but we were one of only four tables and it took forever to get our food. They were more concerned with placing more slices out than cooking sit down customers pies. Price: I felt it's a little on the expensive side. Would I eat there again? Yes, but it wouldn't be my first choice. This place has some potential but for right now it's just average. read more

My wife and I went there for a nice dinner to celebrate Valentine's day. Being that this is South Amboy, we weren't expecting what we were about to experience. The first thing is that the décor is wonderful. It's pleasant to enter and the wood-fire stove is staring at you as you enter. The artwork and the bar were very nice and created a nice experience for us. We were excited to try some of the food and the menu was more than sufficient. It's not a typical NJ diner so the menu isn't vast, but what's on it is a good selection of high-quality options. We ordered an appetizer, called something like spiedeto, which was cheese wrapped with prosciutto, then cooked in the wood fire. It was absolutely delicious. We also had the Arugula salad which was a good-sized portion. Like the appetizer, this was spectacular. The balsamic dressing was wonderful. For our meals we ordered pizzas. I had the diavalo (pepperoni and chili flakes) and my wife had a custom pizza with sweet Italian sausage, carmelized onions and balsamic glaze. Both were tasty and a welcome change from traditional NJ pizzas. You could tell they used the best ingredients for the pizzas. The experience wasn't without it's flaws as I ordered a beer from the menu that was no longer on tap and instead of asking me if I wanted something different, they just brought me a different one. My wife also ordered a glass of wine that had some cork in it, however, they handled this wonderfully by providing a new glass and not charging us for any wine. Overall, the food was amazing and we welcome the attempt to bring a finer dining experience to our hometown. Once the service matures this will be the top of the list for places to eat in South Amboy. read more

I think this place is a complete rip off. I took my daughter and nephew to lunch this afternoon. We ordered a Margherita pie, which was good, and two pitches of soda. When I was presented with the bill you could imagine the shock on my face to learn a pitcher of fountain soda was $7.00 and I was charged for the second re-fill of soda. That's right folks, $14.00 for fountain soda and $19.00 for a pizza pie. I paid the bill but asked to see the menu because it still bothered me. The manager informed me that there was a bigger selection on his takeout menu. I informed him that I was looking on the menu to see if it states anywhere on the menu the price for a pitcher of soda and that you also had to pay for a re-fill. The smug manager looked at me and smirked and said beverages aren't even listed on the menu. I informed him that he should re-acquaint himself with the menu as soda is listed on the bottom right-hand side of the menu. Don Giovanni is a complete rip off!!! read more
