Still doing this! My dad loves Giovanni's Pizza and he is NY style connoisseur having grown up there and is very particular about it. Has 85 years of experience too as a basis. Picked up this half-baked pie to bring some to him up in Frederick as a birthday surprise. Giovanni's came through and got the call-in order and request spot on and did the pepperoni in an 85 to celebrate! As always, SO worth taking the long route from Alexandria to Frederick to grab these! read more

Giovanni's NY Pizza - 85 year old birthday pizza! - Italian Near Me - Leesburg, Virginia

Good, solid slice of NY pizza. I have been a customer for 15 years. Recommend. Available by the slice or a whole pie.

Giovanni's is an old school pizza/Italian place. Excellent pizza. Great tasting red sauce. Entrees ( Chicken Parm., Lasagna, Baked Ziti, etc.) are huge, which will provide you with 2 meals. Basically, come with a hearty/hungry appetite. Or, order what you want but in a lunch sized portion. We found even this to be a generous sized portion. We left happy, full and satisfied. Service was attentive, quick and eager to please. Decor is early 2,000's, but neat, clean and tidy. read more

The Best Pizza outside of NYC! The service is excellent and friendly. The restaurant is clean and comfortable for picking up slices or sitting down for a full meal. Did I mention, it is the Best Pizza outside of N.Y.C.? read more

Not been in quite a while. Always a favorite. Only place in town I have seen dough spun overhead. Good NY thin crust. Generous toppings read more

I was there for lunch today and ordered a cheese calzone it was the worst calzone I've ever had! It was bland and boring! One of my friends who also ordered a Spinach and cheese calzone said the same thing! The crust was doughy and chewy and the filling had absolutely tasteless! The place itself is dated and needs a facelift! The waitress we had needs to be more efficient! It was a big disappointment! read more

A must visit if you're in Leesburg. I have visited Giovanni's for lunch several time, excellent soup and salad. The pizza is excellent as well. True NY style thin crust. It's foldable to make it easier to eat. Fresh dough is the key here. I imagine they make the sauce in house and grate their own mozzarella. It's too fresh and tasty to think otherwise. I had the medium cheese pizza with pepperoni. I'll definitely be visiting again. read more

Giovanni's NY Pizza - Medium pepperoni pizza. A solid lock for freshness and taste. - Italian Near Me - Leesburg, Virginia

Delivered piping hot and ready to enjoy. It's definitely worthy of trying, It's a heavy and packed. Both pizzas had lots of each of the ingredients spread throughout. So, each bite was the total experience. Menu has lots to choose from...chicken , pasta even seafood. Look forward to giving those a try too! I've been a long time fan of a local competitor. Being in a new location and wanting to see what's around this neighborhood. YELP reviews lead me here... So follow along and check them out !! read more

fantastic food and great service. Outstanding pizza. I will definitely recommend it to everyone.

We ate dinner there last night. I ordered a small calzone with ricotta, spinach, onions, fresh mushrooms, and sausage. Absolutely delicious. Perfectly cooked. I also received a free piece of pizza for checking in with Yelp. I chose the white pizza, very tasty. My wife ordered a steak and cheese. She said it was very tasty, delicious. My daughter ordered a 12" white pizza. Cooked perfectly, very tasty. I would recommend this restaurant, the pizza, calzones are excellent. read more

This is one that I wish I had taken a picture of, but I did not. I wanted the clams fettuccine and they offered 3 different kinds of sauce so I went with the olive oil and garlic. It was absolutely disgusting like they had mixed Alfredo sauce with olive oil and added garlic. Blah! The garlic knots, which are usually pretty good were just not on point that night. It'll be a while before we go back here again. Disappointed. read more

We had the Margherita Pizza and cheese steak sub. Love the bread on the sub and the thin crust pizza was phenomenal. Also the Cannolis and Tartufo Al Limoncello we had were all fantastic. The price was reasonable and the service was very good too! read more

Giovanni's is an absolute must! Whether it's dine in or carry out, the food is always great. Last Friday, we placed an order for a steak sub and a chicken/cheese sub. Both were delicious! Best I've had in awhile. Don't forget to add on some curly fries or onion rings! read more

Best pizza and calzones I know of in Leesburg. I've tried a few others in town, and none of them come close.

4/5 November 2023. We stopped here with friends for dinner. The service was good, not the best ever but well above acceptable. This place is a classic old school pizzeria. It's not some hyper modern neapolitan hipster fest and that's a good thing. The pizza is good as are the pasta dishes. It may not be my favorite pizza spot in the area but it's an excellent choice if you're in the area in search of some good pizza. read more

Ok that was a Solid pizza...we were pleasantly surprised at how good it turned out. Recommended.

Staff was nice. Food was amazing. Definitely will come again. Haven't seen someone in here frown yet. read more

Always loved their pizza, so anytime I'm in town, I pick up a couple of pies! And I'm pretty sure you can even buy their pizza dough still. Don't overlook this place. One of the closest places I can get something similar to NY pizza! read more

Came here, still on a quest for the best pizza in Leesburg. This place might the one! I thought it had an excellent crust, and a good layering of cheese, meat and veggies. BF, whom I will lovingly call a pizza snob, thought the crust was not yeasty enough. However I liked it-thin but not cracker like. Unfortunately we got the pizza as takeout, and it sat for a few minutes while we finished our cocktail time. So when we ate the pizza it was not fresh out of the oven. Next time we will eat it immbut we will definitely try this pizza again. read more

Garlic knots were good but need a little garlic butter. Pizza was pretty good but a little difficult to cut. Our only complaint was how many different people waited on us. People would stop by and not know that other people had taken our order or already asked if we needed drinks, etc.. read more

Ordered a couple pizzas on line to go. The Pizza was terrible. ordered a 12 inch regular pizza the crust was hard and burnt. also ordered a 16 inch vegetable pizza the crust was also overly cooked the vegetables were raw not cooked and placed on the pizza. Would have given no stars but the employees were very nice. Thank You read more

Excellent pasta. Large portions. Great staff. Every time we go it's for lunch during the week. Great Alfredo fettuccine.

It was really busy here tonight at 6:00pm, and the service was a little slow but the pizza was really good. We had a couple problems, the scillian pizza we ordered came out a bit overdone the bottom and edges were dried out and burnt. I'm giving these guys 4 stars tonight because they gave us free garlic knots and a coupon for a free large cheese pizza. read more

Grew up going to this family-owned establishment. Service is always friendly and the food is great. My favorites include the steak & cheese sub, stuffed mushrooms, pasta primavera, and ,of course, the lasagna. They offer a 10% discount for paying with cash which is also nice. It's not a fancy place so come as you are and they always treat you like family. read more

Great food, great service, good prices. Seat yourself, rarely a wait. Solo is superior but I prefer the calzones here. The kids meals are more diverse here and the cheesesteak was awesome. Update: tried the pizza for the first time. It was awful. Very sweet sauce and slices devoid of toppings The wait as far longer than promised as well. There are many far better pizzas in Leesburg. We will return for the other stuff but the pizza gets a no from me. read more

Still on the hunt for the best Pizza in Leesburg; however, Giovanni's is the best place we have found so far. I recommend the thin crust "special." They hand toss the dough --it is solid neighborhood pizza. We have ordered out more than five times and each time the pizza is delicious and the prep times are accurately estimated and always less than 30 minutes. Even though there is no delivery they have specially marked places for those picking up. Run by a great group of folks who really care about their customers and enjoy their work. read more

It's a local landmark and it's ok for what it is - I'm not crazy bout their pizza but I think they earn 3 stars just for being in I. The same location in Loudoun County for so long .... Personally I'd prefer dominos pizza over this but this place does offer dine in so ..... read more

Love this place!!! The best pizza restaurant in Leesburg. We ordered the chicken marsala which is amazing. Along with a 12 inch pizza with 1/2 pepperoni and 1/2 cheese. We will be back again. read more

Had a slice that was a good example of thin and crispy pizza. Lots of oil dripping out the fold as I ate and wrote this review at the same time. Good, neighborhood-like vibe. Most of the families I saw must be regulars. Pleasant, hardworking and friendly lady servers. read more

Bad pizza but okay service. We went there for a quick dinner and turns out we ordered Giovanni's Gourmet 16" Pizza and fries and drink. Thought it should be good but turns out it was a big disappointment!! I supposed Giovanni's Gourmet Pizza is their signature pizza but in fact it was the worst I ever had. The pizza has little of everything; cheese, olive and spinach. The crust was 2 inches thick and hard as rock! I don't know how they justify to charge more than the other pizza on the menu. I would say Wegmans has way better quality and the price!!! I'll never return to restaurants as even Pizza Hut or dominos has better pizzas. Picture means a thousand words. I'll let you all To judge. I tried to attach photos but it doesn't show up here. I'll try again read more

The pizza is great! Highly recommend! Not a huge fan of some of the other things we've ordered, but definitely a solid pizza place!

A true institution, I have been coming here since 1993 and I am so happy it still stands in all it's glory. Still has it's very similar decor and nostalgic mom and pop feel. It was quite busy on a Friday evening, both with pickups and inside but we found a table right away. They still have legit menus which is nice and man, have their choices grown. We went with a 12 inch pizza and mozzarella sticks. The mozz sticks are great and quite large (the beer battered type) and the 12 inch pizza was perfect since we couldn't take home leftovers. The chianti pour for a $6.50 glass was insane- like best deal ever and a really good chianti. I am still in love with this place and seems like the locals are as well.Long live Giovanni's! read more

Thin authentic tasting NY Pizza that is extremely crispy and delicious! The workers are very nice people and I've found no trouble in service throughout my three visit's. I highly recommend Giovanni's to people in the NOVA area as it's some of the best pizza I've had in recent history and certainly in the area. read more

I love coming here with family. Any time I visit the parents in Leesburg, we usually venture here for some good ol fashioned Italian comfort food in a small family atmosphere. My parents go to is their seafood over linguine with the red sauce. They order it every time and it never disappoints. It's got shrimp, clams, scallops, mussels, and calamari. Solid variety of seafood items mixed together. If you read my other reviews, you'll know that my love for pizza is infinite, pure, and true; like an R&B singer serenading a loved one. That's me only I'm singing about pizza. Anyways the pizza here is favorably priced with great flavor and crusts. You can get it by the Slice or by the pie (recommended). I usually order their special pizza which has sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers, and onions. Delicious and at a solid cheap deal. I also love their white pizza which is available by the slice. Aside from pizza, their pasta dishes such as their chicken and broccoli, eggplant parmigiana, and veal Marsala are tasty and large. As for subs, the veal parm, Italian hero, and steak and cheese rock. As far as service goes, we've never had a bad service. There are a few times where it's been a bit slow but that happens when the place is packed on a wait and there are only 2-3 servers working. Meanwhile, the owner and his staff always greet us with smiles and cheerfulness. My family has gotten to know their family over the past decade and we have a deep respect and trust about what Giovanni's represents for the community of not just Leesburg, but the entire Loudoun County. This is truly one of the best family restaurants in Leesburg where you get solid high quality Italian comfort food at a reasonable price that won't break the bank. Make sure you come here for lunch or dinner. And don't forget to check in on yelp for your free slice: I recommend a slice of White! read more

We have visited Giovanni's second time because we have liked our first visit. Pizza was okay, but the service was bad. They have mess up my order and I had to wait for the correct pizza. We have heard two tables around us getting upset and cancelling their order. People didn't seem happy. They were busy, and waiters were confused. They need to train their waiters better. Another thing is that there was a fruit fly flying over our table. Our drinks delivered to our table spilling all over the place. The place need an urgent update decorating wise. Waiters were wearing casual clothes so we didn't know who was the waiter who wasn't We had three different people serve our table. Fire Works is always busy and they have people waiting outside with pagers to get a table and they always do it right. Clean, fast service and delicious pizza. I am adding pictures of the pizza that were right order and some were not right. For example, I have ordered bruschetta pizza and I got bruschetta with no tomatoes on it. Instead, it had anchovies and fried eggplants on it. The other pizza was supposed to be with mushrooms, eggplants, and anchovies, but that one arrived as plain cheese pizza. I am sure the waiter messed the order up, not the chef. I am not sure if we would go back to this place again. Maybe, maybe not. read more
