Maybe if you order a whole pie fresh it would be better. We waited 12 minutes for a slice, only people in the place, and it came out barely warm. Lady was wet nice at the counter. Sauce is sweet, crust was tough and chewy. Typical Pizza dab shop with tables and metal chairs. read more

My husband and I stopped in Giovanni's Pizza for a quicky bite on a cold Saturday night in downtown Pittsburgh. The cashier was friendly and the restaurant is clean and modern. Our cheese pizza was made fresh and came out hot!!! The crust was thin and crispy. The red sauce is a mild sweet and there was just the right amount of cheese. The dipping sauce was a nice addition. read more

We had a great time at Giovanni's Pizza and pasta. I thought the pizza was excellent. I enjoyed the feel of the downtown establishment, walking down the streets and walk into a hole in the wall essentially small little restaurant and get to see the outside close to the stadium and the walking bridge. If you eat some pizza it was a good experience. I enjoyed it and I do recommend it. read more

Takes way too long just to get a gyro. Shouldn't have to wait 17 minutes. Not cool. First time, last time customer. Addendum. After receiving the gyro, I must admit It was the worst gyro I've ever had in my life. The menu speaks of this 'special sauce' on the side - guess what no sauce on the side. Certainly would've needed because the euro was about as dry as a diabetics foot read more

For a quick bite this place is the best. However, the food taste is not consistent. We ordered slices of pepperoni pizza on a Saturday lunch which every bite hit the spot. So we went back on Monday lunch and ordered the same food and it was not the same taste as Saturday. The service was also mixed, the lady on Saturday lunch snap because I am confirming my order while Monday was a really nice direct guy. The place has a big space and it's as simple as chair and table. Nothing really extra. Parking, street parking. read more

Ordered a cheese steak the steak was like steak umps very little meat and a sausage taste to the steak and very little cheese meat was horrible then got two gold peak sweet tea was charged 4 dollar for just one dont waste your money go else where read more

Truly sad to leave this review after years of loving Giovanni's pizza. I have ordered delivery to work and have picked up slices when downtown countless times. However I recently had a pathetic, terrible customer service experience and they have lost my business (I did tell them this before writing this review in case they wanted one last chance to rectify the situation before putting them on blast. Alas, here we are). First, don't order an Italian hoagie. Apparently they purposely give a minimal amount of meat. I had this and other issues on a delivery order and called multiple times looking to rectify the issues. Each time I was told the manager would check with the owner and call me back. Each time, I never got a call back so I called them back days later and was told the owner would not do anything (in terms of a partial refund) regarding my experience. Sounds like a terrible business owner to be willing to lose a valuable customer over refusal to refund a $12 hoagie. read more

Not sure what else to say, except the pizza was decent and quick. I just got a slice of plain cheese this order. Cashier lady was nice, and the selection of desserts I was impressed with. The restaurant is no frills and pizza is a good value - not the greatest in the world but for the price, you get the bang for your buck. These are the same people who own the Alihan restaurants nearby (which those are great). I would come here again. read more

Everywhere was packed downtown tonight and places had 45-90 minute waits, so we decided to grab pizza from Giovanni's instead of having a full fancy meal. It was honestly quite delicious. We each got 2 slices of pizza and a 20 ounce bottle of soda. The cashier was friendly. It wasn't the cleanest place ever but didn't feel too bad. read more

Go To Giovanni's! Some of the best pizza and salad in Pittsburgh. You will not regret it. Great atmosphere and location. Loved my experience and Alex (young lady) is terrific. She was helpful and kind. Go!! You'll love it. read more

I've been there more than once service is horrible bathroom is filthy and the pizza is gross that's why it's always empty. That is some funky nasty pizza . Not worth the bargain . The pizza pie should be called the $12 stomach ache read more

Wonderful pizza, best in my life. Go there if you get a chance, worth a detour. Quick and good price too.

Stopped in to get pizza by the slice after a pirates game and a night out and this was amazing. I might be biased because we had a long night, but the slices were huge, cheap, and I thought the pizza was actually really good! We got our slices real quick and were really fresh. The workers were nice, the restaurant was clean, but i think people usually get their pizza to go! read more

Not owned by the original Italians anymore. Service and food quality has declined. I ordered stuff shells to go, I got 2 shells and a container full of sauce. I ordered pennes with marinara sauce, I got cold penne noodles with olive oil, The garlic bread had no garlic butter on it, The cashier acted like she didn't know how to take orders, The cooks did not speak English, other customers where complaining about their orders were not what they wanted. read more

Probably one of my all time favorites - their pizza sauce is a little sweet and the best. This is our go to spot any time we go to a Pirate game. There's a parking garage nearby that makes it convenient. We always walk in, order, and dine in. The staff is always friendly and the service is quick. If you are really in a hurry, order slices instead of a whole pie. The slices seem to come out quicker. It's a small place with a handful of tables, but it's clean and nicely decorated. The pizza is great and well worth the trip! read more

Wish Yelp would allow 1/2 stars. Give this place a 3.5. Great service and pizza by the slice was solid. Great cheese and crust. Sauce was pretty tasty but more of a sweet subtle sauce vs punchy Would grab a slice again when in the Burgh read more

This is the best pizza in the Bronx Great quality pizza Excellent, always buy two slices Can't take a picture of it I ate read more

Warm and nice staff (5/5). Casual, self service type of place. But you still can sit and eat. We ordered lamb gyro (1/5) very salty and greasy. We have tried many gyro before but this one for sure was a lower rated one. Chicken Calzone (2/5), watery and simply not very well cooked as we tried before and expected. Location and staff are the only positive points. read more

Stopped at Giovanni's for dinner for the first time in years and it was not as good as I remembered. Our group ordered a variety of food but the real stand out was the hot, fresh French fries. The pastas were not cooked well but the sauce was decent. It seems like the price of the pasta dishes are similar but portions are much smaller, my friend ordered the lobster ravioli and got about 5 raviolis. The cheesesteak I got was not impressive, when they brought it out the sandwich was falling apart. When I asked for additional toppings like lettuce and mayo they were not provided. The sauce I asked for with the French fries was also not provided. The bread twist with garlic butter sauce were also tasty. The interior has been updated and is very nice. But the food is not impressive. Overall it is convenient in a pinch but nothing to go out of your way to eat at. *edited to correct the name of the menu item. Mistakenly called the bread twist with garlic butter a garlic bread knot. Sorry for the mistake read more

Umm, yeah I came to Pittsburgh to try some good food and they delivered (literally)! I got a small chicken spinach pizza with artichoke late last night. In pizza with toppings, I look for both quantity and quality and they STACKED it UP the regular crust was fluffy. There's a lot of pizza options in town, but this one stood out to me and for good reason! Zero complaints, go try it *shoutout to the delivery driver for being sweet even after I ordered a pizza during a blizzard. read more

If you like thin crust sweet sauce pizza then you will like this place. I prefer more of a crust and less sweet sauce. The cheese was tasty and adequate. The location was perfect in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh among many decent restaurants. The staff was nice and brings the pizza to your table. read more

Decent spot for a quick lunch. Got the gyro. It was fine. They also have pizza by the slide and full pies made to order

What a friendly staff. Extremely helpful. Was sooooo happy they were open. I will say - the menu is a little off putting at 12:30am. Way to much to chose from. The pizza was dynamite. Even though the cheese had all moved by the time we got back to the room - I'll tell ya - wow. I saw other reviews that the sauce was sweet - I thought it was spicy but I loved it!!! The meatball sub - needed help. It wasn't bad but it was not near the level of the pizza. I would think a little more sauce but that's me. Very solid pick 8/10. read more

The veggie wedgie is soooooo good!! Define one of the best wedgies I've had and I'm very picky about my wedgies. The delivery is also very quick. This is definitely a go to for lunch during the week. :) read more

I asked for well done - crust is barely Cooked and pizza isn't remotely close to being a "premium" priced pie with extra toppings...Disappointing. I know a lot of great pizza in PGH ....I'm getting concerned. Gio has always been good to me, maybe it's time for a change... read more

ordered this late night while staying in Pittsburgh. it was sooooo delicious. it was also so awesome that i was able to place an order on their website & get delivery straight to the hotel. read more

Pizza should be available late at night or anytime really. Seeing a lot of "social media" pizza places posting about ordering ahead or getting there early in the day to get their pizza (not talking about special orders). It may be the best pizza but if you can't get any of it at 10pm on a weeknight then is it really any good? After the arts fest last night Giovanni's on 6th (open until 1:00am). Large with mushrooms, $5 off walk-in special. They have tables and we ate it there under the American flag. read more

Good food, priced right. Came in because we caught the aroma from the sidewalk on the way to our hotel and we couldn't ignore it. Ordered two slices of pizza and didn't wait long. Plenty of seating to dine in and sneak a quick bite before returning :) read more

Best pizza I've had in Pittsburgh so far. Still 4 stars though. 4.5 if I could give it that. They're my go to for now.

Ah yes, pizza. I mean, a perfect food, snack, whenever you want it, for breakfast, lunch, dinner, midnight snack. Just another great pizza shop here. Crunchy crust, a slightly sweet sauce, the yummy, gooey cheese, and pepperoni. A perfect food, and another great pizza shop. They also have calzones, strombolis, and everything a great pizza shop has. read more

Very good pizza and reasonable beer prices and a friendly staff. Very close to the end of the marathon route if you're in town for this.

Ordered a delux pizza and pasta dish called Italian dinner before the concert. We had it delivered to Hyatt. This will always be remembered as one of the best food experience pre concert . So better than spending 40 bucks on cold hot dogs or burgers. Exceeded our expectations and the huge pasta dish will be enjoyed tomorrow. Great pizza. read more

Omg. I cannot say enough. Pizza is amazing. The crust is the perfect mix of soft and crunch. 10/10 Service is great. Just do it because it's a local place and you won't recognize it but you will NOT be sorry. read more

The pizza is ok if you're doing delivery, but I'd avoid this spot if you are looking to eat somewhere in-person. It seems like everything I tried to order, they didn't have. Then the things they did actually have had a price higher than what was on the menu. In general, this place is a dump and you should just walk down the street to Proper Brick Oven for a much better experience. read more
