It's always good when I eat from there! They are nice, and it always seems to be pretty clean when I drop by to order my food.

Me and my boyfriend loved the garlic bread with cheese. We'll have to try the version with ham next time.

Ordered pizza and wings online at 3:15 pm on a Sunday afternoon. I didn't at all expect it to be a busy time. Paid via credit card upfront and included a decent tip, especially considering it's a pickup order. Received order confirmation while on my way. Order was promised in twenty minutes. Google Map estimated 18 minutes eta. Arrived at about that time and once waited on I was told the order was still being worked on and should ready in just a moment. Several others were waiting when I arrived and the dining room was crowded. After a thirty minute wait with no update I inquired again repeating my name. Was told "It's just about to come out." It's now 50 minutes into a twenty minute promise. After another 15 minutes wait I was asked to repeat the name on the order. Moments later the guy working the kitchen shoved my order onto the counter with barely a word. No hair or beard net but neither did anybody else back there. It was all room temperature and had obviously been sitting there the whole time. Once I got the order home I found BBQ wings with the sauce on the side. Just plain wings. Pizza completely cold. Garlic bread likewise. $42 bucks. Once I went to the trouble of reheating everything and putting sauce onto plain wings it was passable fare. Not much went right but hey, you guys are the only game in town for pizza. read more

I can't believe it's taken me so long to review this place. We've been eating here for years. I don't live in the area anymore, but every time I come back I have to stop in. The calzone is my favorite. It's just the right amount of dough to filling. The sweet sauce MAKES the dish. Well any dish, really. Make sure to get extra sweet sauce with whatever you order! They should sell this stuff by the jar. The baked spaghetti, lasagna and pasta salad are all good too. read more

Giovanni's Pizza - Calzone to go. One slice with sweet sauce - Italian Near Me - Gainesboro, Tennessee

I don't know when these bad reviewers went but everytime we drive 2hrs away to go here at random and the service and pizzas are always great. It's always clean and relaxed inside and the lady that's always there is always very kind and prompt. The cheese most definitely has a very good flavor and I can tell it isn't bagged so I don't know what that one guy in the reviews was even talking about. The toppings were an adequate amount and not skimpy at all but if some people want it dripping with tons of pepperoni they need to ask for extra. Way more toppings than you get currently at any fast food pizza (pizza hut, dominos etc). To finish, I absolutely love coming here. It isn't the same as going to a northern italian pie place taste wise but this pizza and their calzones are distinctive and delicious in taste. Nobody beats giovannis because nobody tastes like giovannis. read more

Not as good as it used to be, but still the best pizza place in town. The pizza is good if you're looking for greasy pizza. Pairs really well with a beer and some sports. read more

I have been on a pizza journey of sorts to source a means of satisfying my perfect pizza passions. After eating at Giovannis, I am still on the search. This corporate pizza purveyor is just not that good. The crust is not distinguished. The toppings are below average. Cheese is flavorless. I wish I could expound upon the sauce but like many modern pizza palaces, it is nonexistent. Aaaaannnnd, for the love of all that is good and holy, ASK the customer if they would like to have their pizza mangled by cutting it into squares before you do it!!!!! read more

Giovanni's Pizza - a pizza in a box - Italian Near Me - Gainesboro, Tennessee

See all

Just no. Their Stromboli is not a Stromboli at all. It's little some sort of weird patty on a roll with lettuce and tomato. No flavor. We ordered a large pizza with 3 toppings. I couldn't find a single topping on the pizza. The pizza sauce and cheese were so thinly applied I could see the crust right through them. It was horrible. read more

I have ordered from here twice in the past year. The first time I ordered a pizza that was not good. I thought that I would give them another try and order something else. I had chicken fingers and mozzarella sticks, to go. The mozzarella sticks were room temperature and fries were soggy and ice cold. The chicken was disgusting. None of these items were fried. All seemed to be microwaved and inedible. I have never had this bad of a meal and will definitely not be back. read more

Ok we just had a really tasty lunch in this little pizza place. It's just a little restaurant tucked into the side of this mountain here in Gainesboro. The service was excellent the atmosphere...

I promise read more

Great service! Get the the Super Deluxe Calzone. Truly delicious with 12 ingredients. Best food I've had here.

This Restaurant has Literally been my Absolute Favorite Pizza Restaurant since I was 3 years old as well! My Grandparents used to take me there every Summer and Winter Vacations when I came to visit them and they would ask me where I wanted to go eat and of course I said This Restaurant!!! read more

I don't ever write reviews because I believe people have off days and shouldn't be judged based off one experience. However, I can't help but write this one. We placed an order at 4:08 for 2 pizzas, 2 orders of wings and 2 subs was told the order would be ready in about 25 minutes, we went and got ice cream came back and went to get our order and only the pizza and wings were ready. When asked about subs the "young kids" didn't know. They had to look up the order. Turns out one sub had been sitting on top of oven the whole time. When asked about the other sub we were told it would be a couple of minutes. My husband brought out the one sub and was waiting to go back for the other. I decided to go in and get it, well No one had even started it. I watched one person pull it from a fridge (pre-made) then another kid ( who turned out to be the manager) put it in oven then yet another pulls from oven and puts on table, she asked who was putting it together and not one kid responded so she completed the sub. So we left the restaurant at 5:05; so almost an hour. The a thirty minute drive home. I can only complain of service since I haven't gotten to try the food. Maybe hire people who have some work ethic. Today's kids definitely don't have it. Even if the food is phenomenal we will not go back. I plan on calling the restaurant tomorrow and hopefully speak to an owner. read more

Very good the best pizza in the world een meaning to try other menu items I always chicken out and get pizza

I've lived here for 20+ years, this is the only pizza place for 20 miles. It's been getting worse and worse. This will be my last time getting pizza from there. The crust was gummy and the "meat" toppings were funny tasting, not cooked right. read more

Very good traditional Italian. Our family favorites are the lasagna, thin crust pizza & spaghetti with meatballs. This is our kids favorite restaurant in Gainesboro. read more

I despise their pizza. My husband and children like it, so we still buy there, since it is the only pizza place in town. I think the crust is too thin, the cheese tastes cheap, and it is worse than disgusting once it gets cold. I cannot eat their cheese bread, it gives me heart burn, and I never get heart burn. There has been several times we have called in an order, and when I got there, they said they didnt have an order in our name. Once, the manager even argued with me about it telling me that I was mistaken. read more

Sunday night October 18, at 7:15 PM we arrived at this restaurant with friends. Having eaten here twice before, I was looking forward to their calzone. About 3 weeks before, 6 of us came & everyone was very pleased with the food (service was slow). The only odd thing about the food is they serve sweet-and-sour sauce with a calzone. I asked the waitress if I could have marinara sauce which she brought. However, on Sunday night Oct 18 we sat & waited about 10 to 15 mins. No one acknowledged we had even come through the door. We know they saw us because one girl did smiled at us while she was working around the cash register. No one ever came to take our drink order or tell us they would be with us in a few minutes. I believe they had a group in the back and that is wonderful for their business during this virus crisis. But please management, train your workers to acknowledge the customers and let them know you'll be with them in just a moment. You lost a $60-$80 sale that night as we left without ordering. read more

One of my friends told me to try this place, and for a long time I didn't because I thought it probably wasn't all that and a drive from us. However, we stopped by there on our way back from somewhere else, and I'm glad we did. Wonderful homemade pizza and subs! You will be going back once you go. read more

2 words. red sauce. dont know what it is. it kind of taste like french dressing but its the best thing in the world. i would bathe in it.
