We ordered a pizza at 11am and asked for it to be ordered between 11:45 and 12. After waiting by the door for 45 minutes and calling on 3 separate occasions, they finally showed up. They lots several times about being on their way. The pizza place is down the block from us so it should have been a 2 minute delivery. Ridiculous. When the pizza actually got here, it was very undercooked. I'm pretty sure they forgot about us not one, but twice. Never ordering from here again. read more

Gianni's Pizza - Check out this flow map of our horrible experience. - Pizza Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

Friendly good place for a quick slice. Especially between all my daughter's activities. Can get very busy.

New owner! Great attitude! They are actually open when they are supposed to be-10:30 AM! The pizza is good, nothing extraordinary but definitely good. Forget whatever problems you may have had in the past, this guy is giving it a fresh start and he really wants to do right by people. read more

There should be a rating for completely unhinged! In the past I've only gotten slices from here and finally decided to get a whole pie as that will usually last a few days from other places in the neighborhood. I ordered a pie to pick up and realized it was quite a bit smaller than the ones they have on display there. I asked them (the cook) if I needed to order an extra large next time to get the size shown and he said yes. A few weeks go by and I'm continuing (3-5 times a week) to just buy slices but decide to get a full pie again and order an extra large this time, thinking I'll get the size shown there (that's what they told me). I go pick it up and it is clearly not the size on display like I expected. I say to the guy, (the cook who advised me in the first place), "I don't understand, I thought I was going to get this size", pointing to the pies on the counter, well... I'm not sure what he thought I said but he started pulling out the various sized boxes and showing the measurements on the bottom (I guess he thought I was saying I had not gotten an extra large) he seemed quite offended and confused when I pointed out that I had been told If I wanted the lager size, to order an extra large, he seemed to think I was challenging him or something and got quite angry in a different language mostly. The cashier/receptionist eventually explained to me that what was on display for slices was a "special house size" and not on the menu, I left with that understanding and a smaller pie than what I thought I was going to be taking home. I went back at least twice after that and just got slices, no problems right? NO! I went in there Friday to get some more slices and while they're heating the cook starts these wild puppet-like motions, pulls a tape measure out from a drawer and starts broadly 'measuring' everything in the place like a crazy mime or something and uttering "yes" or "uh-huh" after every snap of the tape measure, sides of boxes, the oven door , various other items, staring straight at me it's like he's trying to pick a fight with me, he's muttering quite loudly in another language and watching me, everyone else is looking at me too, I guess they understand what he's saying and seem entertained that I'm getting schooled by this performance. At this point I'm ready to walk out without my order but I've decided I still need this pizza as I have made no other plans for my dinner. The cashier (who seems to be in charge) sees all of this and says nothing to the guy. He hands me the box and I say to the cook, "are you the owner or something?" he says "no". I say, "because you seem to be holding some kind of grudge against me" he says, "well last time you..." I cut him off with, " well I've been here several times since the last time, I clearly don't hold anything against you or this business" He still does not get it, continues to try to humiliate and degrade me, raising his voice but still not really making any sense to me, he's still yelling at me as I leave, I flip them both the bird and go on my way vowing never to return... true story. I take it my business means nothing to them and that preserving his fragile masculinity is more important than the overall good of the business and respect of all the people in this community. read more

As far as the pizza goes it's about as good as it gets for the area, which is to say it's pretty good (Pizza in JH is just okay). Some of the entrees are quite good creamy bolognese sauce, tender veal or chicken parm, meaty and satisfying meatballs are all quite good. I also like their version of the grandma pie the best. I'd give them 3.5 on food alone. The downside is delivery time. I do try to order earlier but it's hard to judge how much earlier when you'll get the food because it'll range anywhere from 45 min at least to usually 1 - 1.5 hrs. This really sucks when you have to deal with a hungry family (I live roughly 5 min from the restaurant). Ordering at the restaurant is pretty quick so I don't know why delivery takes so long. If they solved that one issue I'd easily give this place 4 stars but I don't think they really care. read more

I don't know why they have such a low rating, they came super fast and it was delicious!

The pizza isn't disappointing when your eating there or picking it up. Ive been eating here since i was young. Just don't order delivery the service is terrible if they don't mess up your order it still takes them an hour to show up. read more

Gianni's Pizza - Chicken and broccoli slice - Pizza Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

It's an old school classic pizza joint with great slices. The prices Unfortunately the prices have gone on the high end but for a classic slice pizza, it's great. read more

M.O. and I visited her local pizzeria yesterday. It's a pretty cozy and fun place... The pizza is of the super thin crust and crispy variety. Although it's not my type of slice, it was a fairly decent one. What really makes Gianni's stands out is the interior and layout of the place. The inside has that classic pizzeria look with the standard booths and typical dull colors. There's also an option to eat outdoors under the sun in the back where they've set up a bunch of tables. I spoke to the guys there and they said starting next week they'll have music playing outside. I bet it'll make for a fun pizza party experience.... read more

I've had some real good pizza in my life especially since I grew up in Bensonhurst Brooklyn. This is not up there among the greats. In Queens the gold standard is Brothers Pizza on LIE service road eastbound between 185 and 186 street. I've had the Sicilian here and the penne a la vodka slices here. Both are good, but not great. Prices are reasonable, and staff is friendly. I've never ordered delivery from them since I live two blocks away. Good joint for the neighborhood. Not great, but does the job. Worth a shot. read more

Ordered delivery through seemless, an hour and a half later on a Sunday the food was delivered. They sent us a plain pie when we ordered a lasagna pie. They would only refund the difference or make us wait two hours for a new pie. We will never order from Giannis again, it's a shame because the pizza isn't terrible compared to others in the area. read more

Gianni's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

See all

Some time last year I ordered a pizza from Gianni's, and I remember it being really good, and thought I'd order from them again this Friday night in. I ordered the pizza on their website at 8:46. I got a confirmation email right away... It didn't have a time estimate in it, which I thought was suspicious. And then I waited. At exactly an hour after placing my order, I called to ask if my pizza had left the shop yet. The gentleman said it wasn't even in the oven yet, and would be at least another half hour. I cancelled the order. I was really hoping they'd sped things up since the last review was posted, but no. They're slow. read more

I called originally to ask how long to delivery. They said 45 mins. That was at 9:45 pm. Then i called back at 9:53, they picked up and hung up on me. I called again in 5 mins went to vmail. I called 5 more times. Went to Vmail. Then my gf calls at 10:08. They pick up. Said they were closed. How are you closed when you tell me 45 mins for delivery? Slacking off when the boss is out. Thats why! read more

My favorite pizza I've had thus far in Jackson Heights. Pretty good all-around, although still not mind-blowing. UPDATE: Never mind. I'm knocking these guys down to 2 stars. The pie is still decent, but every time I come by I end up sitting there for an hour. How long does it take to give me two slices to go? Especially because half the time they forget to put them in the oven! I'm done, man. I don't want to waste another night wondering if anyone is actually prepping my food. read more

I love this place!! every time I'm around 82, I always stop by and get a slice!! The pasta slice is so Yummy and there penne a la vodka is amazing must go if you're around there read more

For starters , this is the only pizza place in the Jackson Heights area I could find that would deliver after Hurricane Sandy. Two thumbs up for that alone. I got a large Neopolitan pizza which was altered to cater to the American taste bud, but I was fine with that. The crust was chewy, crispy, and thin, the cheese was pure mozzarella, and I found the whole thing to be scrumptious (especially compared to Dominos). Took about 50 minutes to deliver on a Saturday at 4:30 pm, but I was expecting much worse after previous reviews, as well as the fact that they are one of, if not the only ones delivering right now after Sandy. Overall, great service and great food. I would highly recommend for a casual pizza night. read more

Delivery was awful. The delivery man claimed he was outside my building but was not. I called him back and he still was missing but claimed he was here. I called Gianni's and they said he was here then hung up on me when I reiterated that he was not. The pizza is good but customer service is awful. read more

Delivery took forever, an hour late. My order was completely wrong. First order, grilled chicken with provolone panini. The bread was soft and soggy, no grilled pressed, the spinach wasn't fresh. Second order, Greek wrap, it wasn't even a Greek wrap it was chicken, feta and black olives. No lettuce. Third order, ricotta with mozzarella and pepperoni calzone. Pepperoni was skimpy only 4 pieces. Lastly, we ordered garlic knots with marinara sauce. The service is awful. No napkins, utensils nothing provided. read more

For the most part my order was correct, they forgot to add the cheese in the garlic bread, which I paid extra for. The food did arrive warm which was good. The wings were great as well. They give enough blue cheese which was great. The wings were very saucy and not dry at all. The penne a la vodka was pretty good. It could have used a little bit more flavor, but overall it was decent. read more

I grew up with Gianni's pizza so maybe I'm a little biased but this place just tastes like home to me. It was my family's go-to spot when Gianni himself was behind the counter and I loved every delicious bite of it because I was 3 and you know.......Pizza! I couldn't wait until summer when they would have Italian ice in those little paper cups. They still have them and only a buck! There was a period when Gianni was no longer there and I think his sons were looking to sell when the pizza suffered a bit. Too greasy. Floppy crusts. I think they had mentally checked out towards the end. But this new guy is amazing. He expanded their offerings with the phenomenal Brushcetta and Grandma slices and restored the classic slice to it's former glory. The Sicilian is also really good. Don't get me wrong. This is not a gourmet, crispy, paper-thin, pizza Napoletana from Lombardi's nor is it a nasty dollar slice. This is a regular old NY-style slice but they do it damn well. I can't give them 5 stars because I never get it delivered. I live across the street so it takes as much time as picking up the phone and dialing. It seems they might not be a great place to order from if you're pressed for time or starving. Whenever I walk in they are super friendly and efficient so be sure to stop by if you need a bite on Northern Boulevard. read more

Pizza here is a hit or miss depending on who makes it. Staff is a bit weird. Not friendly but not unfriendly. I order from here only because it is better than Pizza Sam which is in the same area. read more

I love this place but I ordered delivery and my chicken cutlet was severely undercooked

Great pizza spot, enjoyed their penne alla vodka as well. Delivery arrived pretty warm. Would definitely recommend

I've had better pizzas. The crust was soggy and the dough oily. Too much sauce as well that dominates the flavor. read more

Love this place! They guy who's always there is very helpful and nice. Very friendly and quick customer service. I LOOOOOVE THIS PLACE ;)) read more

This was my original pizza place. At the tender, slowly americanizing age of five I had my first slice of pizza, handmade by Gianni himself, and the love has stayed on forever. In high school, my best friend Sheila and I would wander over, now Gianni's sons did a lot of the work, but the legend himself was always there. I have been back only once since I left for college, but I think I stopped eating pizza right around the time I left Jackson Heights. Perhaps a digestive mourning of some sort? read more

Thin, crispy and delicious. It was a pleasant surprise to see how crispy the pizza was after having medicore chewy pizzas from other pizzerias for a while. Great customer service! Loved it here! read more

Ordered delivery and asked for well done. Was told it was busy and it would take 45 minutes. Two HOURS and two more phone calls later, the order came. The white pizza was unbalanced. A thick uneven layer of ricotta just slapped down in the soggy, uncooked crust. Thanks for the canned mushrooms too. The Grandma's. Honestly, you want to name this after your grandma??? It was so soggy you could not lift a slice out of the box. The cheese was either stuck to the box or sliding off of the limp, sorry excuse for a crust. I have never had such a terrible experience with NY pizza. This is a new level. I am so disappointed with my order and I think it is the worst I've had living in this neighborhood for nearly 14 years. Don't accept orders if you're so busy. I would have respected you more had you known your limits and made decisions in the interest of protecting and maintaining the quality of your product. read more

The food is decent but they didn't have prices on their overhead menu and charged me $14.00 for my pasta when Eat24 was only charging 7.00.... the gentleman couldn't provide an itemized receipt nor could he explain his pricing. When I inquired about it he later said the chicken was an extra $7.00.... no action was taken to help me understand the pricing. It is a decent piece of pizza for a decent price. read more

Overrated Sicilian slice; Grubhub if you're so inclined

Update: they return the money, and apologize for the mistakes that they done. In which i am grateful. However, I hope in the future they improve. my advice if anyone order from here it is best to call and make the oder by phone and explain how u want ur pizza. If u order online make sure when the food arrives that they have giving u the correct pizza before giving them the money. read more

The food is outstanding and deilicious... delivery boys are such cuties. But always come on time. :)

I came here on advice from a local to the Jackson Heights area. For lunch, I was looking for the standard "SSS" (two slices and soda). The staff and owner were extremely friendly and I was please with their very courteous service, despite the onslaught of school-kids for their $4 "SSS" special. I'm a graduate student, but hey, guess I didn't qualify. LOL. Regardless, their pizza is on par with other pizzerias that I've tried, but is that over that top service that earns Gianni's high marks. An item to note, this location is a bit far from public train transportation, however, if you find yourself on Northern Blvd, in the 80's and need a quick bite, this is a worthwhile stop. read more

TERRIBLE!!! I was given a cold slice of pizza and when I asked to have it reheated the older man at the counter rolled his eyes. He was extremely rude and appeared irritated. I didn't expect to receive a 5 star treatment at a local pizza shop however employees like him will give an establishment a bad name. I don't recommend this place--- overall the customer service sucks and you can get better tasting pizza in the frozen aisle of the supermarket. read more

This place is TERRIBLE. Whoever is saying they have good pizza has no taste and should go back to the midwest or wherever they learned what bad pizza tastes like. Delivery takes forever and arrives completely cold. read more

Ordered delivery from here about a week or 2 ago-- overall it was OK, but definitely not good enough to re-up anytime soon. I placed my order for a large pizza at about 6:45pm on a weeknight, and was quoted a 45-min delivery time. So far, so good. An hour and 10 minutes later (25 minutes late) I called the shop back to see what the status was: the lady who answered the phone curtly told me it was already out for delivery and should be to me very soon. About 20 minutes after that, my pizza finally arrived. The delivery guy was nice enough and apologetic -- usually it's NOT the delivery guy's fault btw -- but still, that was DOUBLE the time in which my food was supposed to arrive (not like it was a complicated order, either). On top of everything else, my pizza was lukewarm and all the cheese had "set" like it had been sitting in the box for over an hour already. I've had better pizza and better service elsewhere, but I've had much, much worse as well. Maybe I could give 2 or 2.5 stars, but we did end up eating all the pizza and it tasted decent enough (reheated, that is). In the end, a 3-star "OK" review and no repeat business is what Gianni's gets from me. read more

I ordered a Penne Ala Vodka & a calzone. The calzone was kind of soggy, especially the bottom, but the edges were crunchy. Not terrible but not good. The penne was pretty typical, better than some other places in the area but still pretty mediocre. The food I'd rate a 2/3 (simply because I've had some pretty crappy Italian food in Woodside/Jackson Heights and this was edible). But I give them 1 star because of the crappy delivery service. I placed an order at 8:43pm and it didn't arrive until 10:27pm. When I called to inquire about my food at 10:20, the hostess did seem genuinely surprised about & annoyed with the delivery guy's delay. But it's still absolutely ridiculous that they let it take that long. The delivery guy, Brian, I believe his name was, didn't even seem the slightest bit sorry. I wish I could recommend a better place in the area. There are definitely better ones for service. Food wise though, nothing really stands out. read more

I ordered a chicken parm hero and fried calamari, took over an hour to be delivered called 3 times and was put on hold for 15 minutes each time and then was told my order was on the way. The service is TERRIBLE I finally got my food, the calamari was rubbery and over cooked the chicken parm was tasteless and has practically no cheese. Best part of the meal? The can of Diet Coke. Never eating/ordering from here again!!! read more

Great pizza, great prices. The pizza is always baked to a perfect crisp, and the crust is on the thinner side. Besides the plain slice my favorites include the buffalo chicken and pasta slices. Definitely one of the better pizza places in Jackson Heights. read more

inconsistent. first time had the Neapolitan which was indeed the best pizza I've had in Jackson Heights area. Second time had the Margherita and the sauce was on TOP of the mozzarella, and I believe it was cold sauce spooned AFTER the pie was baked so it was not hot and didn't bubble into the cheese -- and it took seriously 50 minutes from the time I ordered it and it was ready. hmmmmmmm. Really nice guys in there though, I will be giving them plenty more tries as Pizza generally sucks in Jackson Heights read more
