As an Italian person who tries to find good pizza outside of the chain restaurants, this place is great. Now while there is not much decor inside the restaurant, the food does make up for it. The pizza here is great, and I also ordered the fettuccine Alfredo, which was honestly better than I expected. They employees were all friendly and customer service was good. If you live in Davenport, you have driven by this place multiple times before you get on the I4 exit or going into Posner Park. For my Italians that live in Davenport or Haines city, check this place out. read more

Love the pizza BUT hate that I can not order For delivery because the REFUSE TO TAPE THE BOXES. Come on- this protects us as well as you as a business by placing some form barrier from the drivers having immediate access to our food! We can trust all all we want but we live in crazy times. TAPE THE PIZZA BOXES BEING DELIVERED PLEASE read more

When I walked into Giovannis I immediately wished for a bit more open space around the area you order. The cheese pizza was pretty good, I would say I would prefer a little bit less sauce, and definitely less sauce around the crust. The garlic knots were very good and probably the best part of my order this time around, they were soft enough on the inside with a nice crisp on the outside, floating in garlic. I love the addition of the ice cream parlor, they have built in and tons of dessert option that they have (havent tried them yet). Overall, I'd say it was a pleasant experience and I wouldn't mind eating here again. read more

We were staying in Davenport recently, jonesing for some pizza, and Giovanni's was recommended by my son. The kid knows his stuff. His mother is Italian, I love food and he steered us in the right direction. We got carry out, great service on the call and a great recommendation of garlic knots that they featured as a special. The pizza shop is attached to an ice cream and dessert shop that I'm certain we'll try next time. The interior is casual with TVs. Seemed like a good place to dine in. The food...spectacular. The calzone was amazing. For those that are purists, it was about half mozzarella, half ricotta. I loved it this way. The pizza was very good. The pepperoni crisp, crust thin, sausage cut up and spread throughout. The onions and peppers cooked and caramelized. The garlic knots...great flavor, just enough grease. Their sauce is spectacular, tangy, rich, wonderful. If you're in the Davenport area, this is a must. I highly recommend you give them a try. read more

I've been here several times, and this has quickly become one of my favorite pizza places in town. If you're looking for authentic New York-style pizza, this is the place to go. The crust has that perfect balance of crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, the sauce is full of flavor, and they definitely don't skimp on the toppings. Every slice tastes fresh and made to order. The pizza is outstanding, but don't overlook the rest of the menu. Their classic Italian dishes like chicken Parmesan, baked ziti, lasagna, and spaghetti are just as good and come in generous portions. You can tell they take pride in using quality ingredients. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and attentive, even when they're busy. The restaurant is clean, comfortable, and has that neighborhood pizzeria feel that keeps you coming back. Whether you're grabbing a couple of slices for lunch or bringing the family in for dinner, you really can't go wrong. Highly recommend giving this place a try--you'll definitely be back for more! read more

Had takeout pizza here for the first time. It was delicious. We had gluten free guests and they were excited to see there was a cauliflower crust option which they could eat. We ordered 3 pizzas . One ricotta cheese white, one tomato and one cauliflower. All were delicious. This was takeout and we picked up so we found the wait time very good from our ordering time. I'm sad to say that 2 weeks ago we went to order again and we're so disappointed to see that they took the cauliflower pizza choices off their menu!!!! Very disappointing. The restaurant is beautiful and clean. read more

Wife was craving a pepperoni pizza when we were on I-4 and we really enjoyed our stop here. Our pepperoni pizza was genuinely great. Service left a little to be desired but it was near closing time on a Sunday so I will cut them a little slack. I actually did really enjoy the Christmas display that likely needed a booth removed for it. read more

Giovanni's Pizza & Subs - Pepperoni lovers pizza and some cheesecake - Pizza Near Me - Davenport, Florida

Ordered carryout over the Thanksgiving weekend while we were staying in the area visiting family. Pizza was good, the garlic knots were great, and the calzone was okay. I am still on a search for the calzone of my New York childhood. The sauce was done well, not sweet but seasoned perfectly. It was great for dipping the garlic knots and crusts of the pizza. The sauce was delicious on the pizza, complimenting the cheese and toppings, not overwhelming the slice. The garlic knots were soft and doughy, dripping with buttery garlic sauce. The calzone was filled with mozzarella and a little bit of ricotta. Would love to find a calzone that was 75% ricotta and 25% mozzarella. The mozzarella did not distribute well to the ends of the calzone, so it was essentially plain dough on each end. The calzone itself was cooked perfectly otherwise. Ordering and pickup was easy and we would definitely come back for the garlic knots, another pizza, and try a dessert. read more

Really good pizza options....also dessert. So far this has been my favorite pizza place in Disney. A lot more to try but I will be going back for sure. read more

When we walked in, we noticed the nice ambiance, we only wish they played Italian music instead of regular modern music. Our waitress was very personable and had the amazing bread out to us quickly along with our drinks. Our orders came out fast as well. My partner had the pizza, I had the pumpkin lasagna. Both were delicious. Even the house salad was good. We ended our meal with the pumpkin caramel tiramisu. It was definitely decadent and delightful. Did I mention how good the bread was? So many choices on the menu, can't wait to come back and try more! read more

Stopped in for a slice before but thought we would try something else. You step inside to a cue to order and pay, grab a post with a number and have a seat. You can get bottled beverages, a cup to fill or wine by the glass. Seating is inside and out. We ordered chicken parmigiano and spaghetti which came with garlic bread and a chicken and cheese Stromboli (14"). As we waited the dining room started to fill up and takeaways were moving out the door. Both were made to order and arrived hot, plentiful and delicious. Plastic silverware was not preferred but worked well. Two employees checked up on us and cleaned up. We noticed the wall was opened up to the adjoining ice cream parlor, too bad we didn't leave any room for dessert. Maybe next time. Enjoy! read more

Giovanni's pizza in Davenport, off Deer Creek used to be the 'go-to' place for pizza. We were there once every two weeks or so, when Jay was running it. About a year ago we had a less than fantastic food experience, and stopped going. We wanted pizza, so we gave them a chance again today. It wasn't really very good. Guess we need to find another 'go-to' pizza place. read more

This place is my absolute favorite pizza spot. It's truly the best authentic Italian pizza you'll ever have. Their desserts are amazing too they have an entire selection of different Italian treats, and every single one I've tried has been incredible. My family and I love coming here on the weekends. Their cheesecake, cakes, pizza, wings, and bread are all out of this world. Everything is consistently delicious and high quality. I highly recommend this place. It's honestly one of the best Italian restaurants around. read more

We love the food at Giovanni's. The garlic knots are what dreams are made of. So fresh and yummy and dripping with garlic Parmesan sauce. I personally love the dipping red sauce as well. My husband and I love the meat lovers pizza and the kiddos love the Bianca pizza without the ricotta add pepperoni. All fresh from the oven. We appreciate the refillable drinks even though we would prefer coke to Pepsi products. The desserts look amazing but we always leave to full for sweets. The staff is so courteous and helpful. Highly recommend. We also ordered a meat lovers pizza to go and added onions and another order of garlic knots and the family at home enjoyed as much as we did in the restaurant. read more

This Giovanni's is new on US27. A nice restaurant without having to drive on I-4. Our first pizza at this location was good but we wanted it a little crispier. It was more like a NY pie where you fold it in order to eat it. It was hot and tasty so I guess what's not to like. I had chicken parmigiana on spaghetti and a small house salad . I was full when I left. Our waitress was friendly and provided good service. We'll be back. read more

Updating my review after many years. Giovanni's is still the best pizza in Davenport. It's really good and I'm never disappointed in the quality. My son and I came in the other day and he wolfed down his pizza. They offer both dine in and carry out, and the space has grown over the years. They have an amazing selection of desserts. The garlic knots are addicting. We don't come as much as I once did because it has gotten more expensive over the years, but they've never sacrificed quality, or customer service. I'm happy to support this local business when I can. read more

Great service! The pizza is awesome! Love the sauce! The garlic notes are the best! Great local find!

Oh hello yell, it's been a while. I think it's far too late for a picture of what the pizza and garlic knots look like here but must I say. I'm originally from New York and this is the closest thing to home for me. The garlic knots, my God, are huge. Actually the biggest garlic knots I've ever seen, they're extremely soft as well. Wife and I got 2 pepperoni slices and I honestly don't think I took a breath before I finished mine. 10/10 recommend, staff is friendly and food is good. Price isn't too bad for a quick lunch either. read more

This was a great find on yelp! We are new to the area, although we did read some reviews that were not so positive we decided to check it out anyway. And I'm glad that we did! This place is popping! When I mean, there was a line to get in, an overflow with people sitting outside, parking lot was full. We ordered ahead, so we just passed by to pick up the pizza and then leave. What a great place! The flavors were fantastic. We ordered the barbecue chicken, pizza and a chocolate cake, which did not last very long! we are definitely going to be back soon. PS we met such a nice guy down to earth and he told us that the secret to his successful business is that they use natural ingredients from a local farm. I it's evident that the flavors are fresh. read more

Wow!! So so good! I will say we didn't get regular pizza but the array of items we did get were amazing!! From the moment an older gentleman answered the phone and took my order I knew it would be amazing. He was so sweet and kind while I was ordering then when my husband added to the order when he picked up (panicked ordered the pizza sub because he was worried we wouldn't have enough) the guy kindly took his order and said it would only be 4 minutes. My husband said inside was nice and so busy but the workers were all kind and working hard! Can't wait to try again! Large Pizza Roll was HUGE. It fed my 14 year old, myself and my husband. It was perfectly cooked and so delicious. Spaghetti with butter had a great taste and a yummy touch of garlic in it! My 12 year old said it was delicious and next time she wants a garlic bread because it was better than Canes! House salad was a great portion split between 2 12 year old girls with leftovers to go with their pasta. One had ranch and one had Caesar dressing and both said it was excellent. Finally my husband ordered a "pizza sub" while it was not what he expected he LOVED it! It was like pizza boats:) And finally, the best of all of this was my family of 5 ate and had left overs and paid $55. When the rest of our crew arrive this week we will be eating here again. read more

This is specifically a review for the ice cream side of the establishment (only side I went into). The attention to overall details was awesome! From the selection of ice creams & cakes to the wallpaper and decorations throughout. When you enter you're greeted with a disney themed Mickey/minnie ice cream bench and a pair of cases (one display, one double self service full door). The decor and painting, lighting, on theme wallpaper to the lighting (notice the pink and white in addition to the under counter lights!). The selection of ice cream and treats was great. Wonderful and warm staff helped get my daughter exactly what she was looking for. read more

Pizza very good get it well done. Menu is nice service was pleasant. Restaurant was clean and had a nice bar area

Very good pizza! Absolutely love the staff they have amazing service. It has a wonderful ambiance.

Great food and service. The beer selection could use some more variety. The staff working there all work as a great team.

Each visit so far, the food has been good. A bit out of the way but we feel worth the drive over going to Pizza Hut or Papa Johns.

Pizza was amazing! I loved the Pastry especially the small gourmet cakes they have in their store. The store tellers were very nice and friendly. read more

We ordered this pizza as takeout for the family after seeing their good Yelp reviews. (Forgot to take pictures before diving in.) My sister loves CBR & everyone always loves a good meat lovers 'za. The garlic knots stole the show for me - that was my request! So much flavor and garlicky-goodness! My dad went and picked the pizza up and said the person who took his order on the phone knew his order immediately when he came in and said his name. Great service, and the restaurant inside was nice - but we did takeout. read more

I hate giving a place low ratings but here's my take on this restaurant: Pros: GARLIC KNOTS WHOA Restroom was clean Plenty of parking Cons: Customer Service (place was not full and the lady seemed rushed anyway, self seating and self serve for the drinks) Pizza, yikes... if you're a pizza lover beware. Little Caesars tastes better. The pepperoni is placed on top after the cheese pizza comes out, all of my pep fell off unfortunately. read more
