Pizza is good but the wait for food to arrive was an hour plus, which is ridiculous. The only reason I am giving this place 3 stars is that the food was good. If you eat here place your order to go. Or go elsewhere read more

Giannina's Pizza & Catering - It's not not it's not - Caterers Near Me

I visited this restaurant a week ago at dinner for the first time. Parking space is plentiful out front. It's a small restaurant inside with seating for maybe a dozen people at a time. The menu is pizza centric with some pasta dishes available too. Giannina's is a counter service restaurant that has a nice cozy interior with Italian themed decor and good music. The kitchen is open with the domed pizza oven in full view. I liked the vibe of this place. My order was a 10" custom pizza of beef, mushrooms and red onions (they don't offer white) and the price was $11. The pizza took less than 15 minutes to be delivered to my table and I thought it was a very good pizza with nice tasting ingredients. It made me happy and the 10" size filled me up. During my meal it appeared that they do a lot of takeout business too. I like this restaurant and would be happy to return. read more

This pizza was absolutely top notch! Usually I am the kind of person to either order Domino's, Papa John's or even make it from scratch. But jeez, the people here definitely know how to throw a pie together The flavor, crispyness, and freshness of the pizza was honestly all there for what I wanted. The service was quick and my pizza was ready, right as they said it would be. I whole heartedly recommend this place, will be coming back! read more

With so many pizza shops at almost every corner, some could be hits...some could be misses....Giannina's, a HUGE hit! Due to the pandemic we weren't able to dine-in but there was a tent outside the establishment were someone would take your order or pick up your order. We ordered the brisket pizza and Bianca pizzas...made fresh and piping hot..these pizzas were excellent thin-crust pizza!! Pizza took about 25-30 min to prep, not sure if that's because they were busy or if that's the usual cook time, but it's definitely worth the wait! Will definitely be back to try other menu items!! read more

We were looking for a pizza place with brick oven and wanted to try this out. It's located next to a Subway on Barker Cypress in a little plaza. Upon entering, we were greeted and taken to a table. The dining area of the establishment was small, so we saw the brick oven as soon as we entered. There was only two other tables with customers, but the ambience was casual and noisy. There was one waitress, one cashier, and two men at the oven making the dough and pizzas. The server gave us a menu and said to order at cash register when ready. We looked at the one page menu, decided, and walked up to register to place order. She rang in the order and I had to pay and tip before getting the food/service- I know this is common now but it is backwards to me. I ordered a 10" Margherita pizza, a large Special pizza, a Veal Parmigiana, and a Cappuccino. The salad that came with the veal plate was subpar. The penne pasta was not thoroughly cooked and still hard in some parts. The sauce on penne didn't have much flavor. The pizzas were just average, not anything extraordinary like we expected. The special pizza's crust was floppy and not crunchy. When we got to my car and I looked at receipt, I saw she had charged me an extra $1 for vanilla in my Cappuccino, when I specifically asked for no flavors and got no flavors in it. We got there around 8pm and they close at 10pm. Maybe it was end of the night and they were tired. But I'm not driving all that way to try again. read more

I really wanted to love this pizza. It's made by Italian veterans who have been masters at their craft for 45+ years. However my personal tastes prefer a thinner crust. This is the doughiest pizza outside Chicago! Very heavy. If that's your thing, you will love it. But you gotta appreciate the wood fire, the service, the ambience and the history. (Might I recommend stretching out a 10" into a 14" for a 'thinner crust' version?) read more

Whoa whoa whoa! Came here yesterday because I'm a pizza-head and I was ready for my weekly pizza. Rather than go with the usual dominoes, I decided to search around for local spots to support local and try something new. Am I glad that I did! After browsing the menu I decided on a 14inch pizza, half Quattro Formaggi and half build your own. On the build your own I added pepperoni, beef, Canadian bacon, onions, and peppers. I love and always get meat on my pizza, but that Quattro Formaggi was SO good. It's a sauceless pizza with 4 cheeses, but they nailed it. Of course the side with meat got devoured as well, but I had to comment on the 4 cheese side first since it was a newer experience. I went to Italy for a few weeks last year, so I was glad to find the owners and chef are both Italian born and raised. The place has a few tables inside which were being used and had steady takeout traffic. The restaurant has the oven for the pizzas in the dining room like many restaurants did while I was in Italy. The quality of the pizza def reminds me of my time there as well! Everything was awesome, including the Caprese I almost forgot to mention. When picking up my pizza I said Grazie (thank you) to the chef, and he started welcoming me in Italian. I think I may have found my new go to spot. read more

Order the white sauce pizza. They have everything though. Full blown Italian restaurant! It's better than locatellis and Olive Garden. They seem to have staff insecurities like all but doing their best to stay open for business. I will call to make sure their open if I'm not in the area since they opened late last time I was there. read more

Giannina's Pizza & Catering - Special without bell peppers. Awesome!!! - Caterers Near Me

We recently ordered catering for a family dinner and everyone loved all of the food from Giannina's! We had lasagna and two pizzas - cheese and pepperoni only, since we had kids in our group. Ordering was so easy and every person I spoke with on the phone or communicated with through the catering email was pleasant, knowledgeable of the menu and process and thanked me for my order. I am very impressed with the customer service we received. Our food was ready at the set pickup time, too. We will order from here again for family gatherings in the future. read more

Fantastic food. Best pizza and sausage I've had since moving from NY. Pasta and salads are very good also. Nice family run place that you don't see too much of anymore read more

Very good pizza, I've had pizza that I liked better, but not anywhere around the cypress area. The crust was excellent and the flavors were great. I have no complaints is the best way to sum it up. The staff was friendly. Just know if you plan to eat there it takes a little time to get a pizza, it's fresh made and they stay busy. In the short time I was there I watched at least 15 pizza walk out the door. read more

Hands down, best Pizza in this part of town. No question about it. Do yourself a favor and try this place. I've been looking for a spot to get good pizza since I moved here in 2018, and was repeatedly let down time and time again. That is until I found Giannini's. This place is the real deal. Their menu has a nice mix of traditional and original specialty pies, and a massive list of toppings to choose from. The freshness and quality of the toppings is immaculate, and even moreso, the sauces, cheeses, and dough are top notch. I feel like any pizza you order from these guys is gonna be absolutely fantastic. The pizza is made and baked right in front of you in a massive wood-fired stove smack dab in the middle of the dining area - a really unique touch. They're family owned and operated, and you can tell these are good people who really care about what comes out of their kitchen. We got two 10" pizzas and two cannolis to-go, and we had an order of bruschetta while we waited. Everything was delicious. I can't wait to go back and try more of their specialty pizzas. They've got a handful of appetizers, pasta, salads, and a couple sandwiches, too. I'd love to try it all but I can only eat so much at a time! read more

Arguably the best pizza spot in Cypress. Sooo happy I found this gem. It's a small place that packs a big punch when it comes to their pizza. I have tried the Meat Combo pizza several times. It's owned by a nice Italian family who are always on hand to provide excellent and friendly service to their guests. I try my best to support small businesses when I can and this one checks all the boxes, including my belly. read more

Hands down, best pizza we had in the area! It does taste much better eating at the restaurant rather than taking home - can't go wrong with this place! read more

Small pizzeria and pasta place with good food, but lacking service. Granted, there are help wanted signs and management has made the place counter service, but even that service is slow. The food was good, standard Italian American fare such as brick oven fired pizza, spaghetti, and chicken parm. We were too full to try dessert, maybe another time. I truly hope this place works out their staffing problems. read more

They had something great pizza. All the sauces and toppings tasted authentic and made in house. We tried the pepperoni and sausage pizza which was delicious. Only drawback is that they don't sell wings but other than that I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a good pizza that is priced reasonably. read more

Pizza dough was not completely cooked. Got a Cannoli. Never had vegetables in a sweet cannoli before! Didn't taste good at all! read more

The pizza and everything on the menu is fantastic. Awesome wait staff. Really nice little low key place. Love it.

Ordered for the first time tonight. Our poor driver got stuck in traffic because of an accident. Not his fault but it arrived just barely warm. We had the oven on, in anticipation of something because it was taking longer than expected. They dropped it off, we put it in the oven for a couple of minutes. The last time I had pizza this good was when I was in Napoli! We will definitely order again. read more

Only been twice and had the Margarita pizza both times, so can't speak to the broader menu, but we really loved it. I now find myself craving their pizza though, which is dangerous! read more

We really wanted to love this place since our favorite closed. The first time it was very good. It wasn't busy, food was good, and the owner was very friendly and kind; he even brought us some delicious garlic knots to try. The only thing I don't like much is having to order at the register. I made three separate purchases when we decided later to add an appetizer, then dessert, then coffee (didn't realized they had cappuccino). Skip the cappuccino, but order the limoncello cake and the tiramisu... They were amazing! Sorry no pix. The second time was not as great. We had a server who was not good. He tried to clear our plates away while we were still eating. He didn't have a good sense of customers needs or wants to say the least. The food was still good, but not as good as the first time. The third time was probably our last. The house was packed, and we got the last table available. We figured the service wouldn't be fast, but that was OK because you know the food is made to order. The bruschetta was decent. It came presented as oven toasted bread with a whole bunch of tomatoes and spice on the side. The flavor was good, but I felt like I was making my own dinner and the topping kept falling off. We ordered the New Yorker pizza and the Giannina. The Giannina was good. Definitely saltier than I remembered with arugula thrown on top. The New Yorker was undercooked and soggy with bites of mostly raw dough in the middle. Overall: inconsistent. We were very disappointed last night after spending $50+ on pizza and 2 drinks. The (same) server was overly brash and blunt, and made the experience unpleasant. He scolded my daughter for moving the pizza stand (She was trying to retrieve her napkin from underneath.) and again, we felt like we were being rushed out. It worked...we left. read more

My husband and I have passed by this pizza place for quite a while and we decided to try it one night. We are so glad we did. It is not a big place it is pretty cozy. Around 12 tables. It was nicely decorated and clean. The pizza is delicious. The ingredients are fresh and not soggy. We prefer to eat there but we have taken it to go a few times. Also, they have BYOB with a $5 corking fee. (I think it's $5) One thing to keep in mind if you eat there, It does get a little warm in there with the fire pizza cooking. Pizza =5 Visit again =5 read more

NO idea how this place got nearly 5 stars. The place is located in a shady looking shopping center, the decor is old and bland and the food was OKAY. They advertised a "fried cheese special" outside, which we looked forward to. Ended up being served 4 frozen cheese sticks. Pizza had VERY little cheese. The spaghetti was pretty good. But overall the food definitely looks better than it tastes. Its not a totally bad place, but the people giving this location 4-5 stars are either friends and family OR they need to get out more often. read more

Not impressed. Ordered a Sicilian Salad. Menu stated "mixed greens,not so, it was cheap head lettuce MAYBE mixed with a bit of romaine. So I guess technically it was "mixed". The play on words is deceiving and disappointing. I never saw the mentioned capers and the fresh mozzarella was actually 4 pieces the size of postage stamps sitting on top of the sliced tomatoes probably because they would have gotten lost in the salad. I would happily have paid more for a decent salad -that was just sad and should have been an embarrassment for them. The dressing would have been good if it wouldn't have been watered down due to wet lettuce. Husband ordered a large pizza- paid $17 for it. Toppings were slim, lucky to get one piece of sausage per slice. I would rather go to MOD. Better value there. Sad all around because it's close to home and we like supporting local. read more

This is my favorite place to get pizza in Cypress, TX. I almost always order a large Quattro Formaggi pizza with extra ricotta. The pizzas are tossed by hand classic Italian style and cooked in a traditional wood fired pizza oven. Love how each pizza is made with love!! read more

Great Pizza, Great Atmosphere, and Great Family!! It's BYOB... So, Bring some wine. :-)

The pizza here was just a little above average in our tastes. The ingredients seemed top quality, which was definitely nice. But the dough / crust and sauce were not the best in our tastes. I know they have a lot of good ratings, and we were excited to give them a try as a result. Unfortunately it just missed the mark for us. read more

I would rank this pizza shop as five stars for the actual pizza and three stars for the service. I called and order ahead and they said it would be about 15 minutes before I was done. I arrived 10 minutes later and sat in the dining area for another 30 waiting for my pizza to be finished. When they brought it out, and I checked it, it was obvious they gave me the wrong order. I pointed this out they pulled a pizza off a rack put it back in the oven to reheat it. Though a bit apologetic for the wait and the mixup, they really didn't do much to make it right. When I got home, the pizza tasted good although parts were overcooked and the entire experience really left a bad taste in my mouth. On the plus side it is BYOB with no charge for a beer and a small fee for wine. We may go back to try it again, but I would do dine-in only as a take-out option doesn't seem to be a strength. read more

Visiting from Austin to help our daughter move into her new home. Thx to Yelpers I picked Giannini's and was pleasantly surprised. We ordered three pizzas for the family and everyone enjoyed the selections. Hand tossed and cooked in a huge pizza oven on-site. read more

3.5 out of 5 stars rounded up to 4. I've ordered take-out from Giannina's Pizza & Catering a couple of times (normally midweek). Each time I have gone, the staff is very friendly, and the pizza has been very good. On my most recent visit, I ordered dinner with 5 of my co-workers. One of my co-workers has an issue with his bill, but the cashier easily resolved the issue. My only issue I have with this restaurant is that often when I call in an order, it is not ready by the promised time. About an extra 5 minutes or so. read more

Great Pizza and Lasagna!! Love this family business the lasagna is one of the best we have tried in Houston.

We love their pizza. It's always fresh and delicious. Everyone is always nice on the phone and in person. This is our go to pizza!

Really wanted to like this place as I have been looking for a brick oven pizza spot but unfortunately I had a bad experience. They are only open for a few hours of the day but I'm assuming because they are short staffed. I had been wanting to try here for a while and finally decided to order takeout. Called in around 820 and line was busy so kept calling in and finally got an answer around 830 and placed my order. Went in, paid and waited for my pizza. My pizza was given to the wrong person, mainly the customers fault because the employee walked up to him said my name and handed him the pizza and he gladly took it. I had a custom pizza and he had a basic tomato and cheese, his was brought over to me and I realized it was not mine. They quickly made a new one but I was still waiting well past 9, the other guy that took MY pizza comes in and he gets to keep both the pizzas which is pretty annoying. The guy didn't even know his own name and still got rewarded. The pizza itself was very basic. The dough was no good, chewy, had no crunch or bite which you should get with a brick oven. Veggies weren't very fresh, seemed canned. Pepperoni was solid. Brick ovens are hard to work with and it takes a lot to know how to properly cook on it. If they hired someone that actually knew how to work with a pizza oven then this place can be serving some delicious pies. I will continue my search for true quality Italian pizza in Houston :( read more

Came here after finding it on Google and boy are we goad we found it. The pizza is incredible. The crust is cooked PERFECTLY and its delicious, the sauce is good its zesty without being overkill, the cheese is fresh and delicious. This is hands down the best pizza in Cypress and a top contender for best in the Houston area. I live 45 minutes away in The Woodlands and will be bringing people here for sure. The staff were kind helpful and you could really tell that they care about the food. So good! read more

This pizza is amazing. I ordered the Margherita pizza and it was delicious. Also ordered pepperoni, jalapeño, pineapple pizza and it was really good as well. Definitely recommend this spot. read more
