I haven't had a pizza place be so good, I literally tell everyone whoever mentions the word, "pizza" to try this spot. The pizza has always been made perfectly, and the ranch being house made makes such a big difference. The staff is always super friendly and accommodating. There is some space to eat inside, and it is clean, so enjoy your slices there if you'd like. There are various coupons online and if you pick up your pizza, there's a discount code for that too. Overall, delish pizza is one of the best there is, especially the garlic chicken speciality, that one hits different in a great way. Also, the fact that this pizza box has a prayer on it, should speak volumes. Christian or not, being prayed over even through a pizza box with the Bible verse is such a blessing. Enjoy yourself and support a local business.

This pizza is some of the best around! The owners are SO kind and helpful. We come here often, and almost always order the same thing. Often times, they have already started our order once they see us walking through the door. The pizza is seriously delicious, and their brownies are crazy good. Definitely 100x better than CiCi's (can't even be compared!). SO thankful Nicholasville got this great restaurant. read more

I grew up on Giovanni's. It was my first pizza in my little eastern ky town in which I was raised. I even worked there after high school. It's still my favorite pizza. Nicholasville does a really good job of keeping the tradition alive. I get it if it's not your thing. However, it sure is mine! Thank you guys for still providing the pizza, sandwiches and salads I love. read more

I love the patio and music. Definitely a vibe. We had four pizzas. The loaded potato, the margherita, the supreme and chicken bacon ranch. The supreme was far and away fantastic! Chicken bacon ranch was a close second. Margherita used dried basil which definitely took away from the brightness and overall look of the pizza. Still good, just not expected. The potato pizza was disappointing. I would have liked a garlic béchamel sauce drizzled on top or something to balance out the blandness. Also, cracked peppercorn should not equal 7/8 of a peppercorn. Pizza crust was good and I loved the texture. Overall definitely recommend! We took our older kids and did not feel out of place.

She spent most of her time standing around with other waitresses talking. We were seated as far from the kitchen as you could be and she was so loud yelling that we could hear every word. There was a small child sitting at a table alone that the wait staff kept checking on. Not sure if this was an employee's child that they brought to work with them. As we were about to eat, the hostess seated a man and his dog across from us. It was not a service dog. As the waitresses surrounded the puppy the owner explained it was 8 weeks old and he just got it yesterday. He sat the dog in the chair, on the table, and walked it across the restaurant, in which the wait staff pet it then went back to waiting tables. Our waitress then sat at the table with the child (close to the hostess podium) and other waitresses and yelled across the restaurant to the kitchen to order herself an Italian salad. The food was awful. We ordered the chicken parm and mezalluna. The chicken was beaten paper thin and the pasta was room temp and flavorless. We added the spices they bring for the bread to the dishes in an attempt to add some flavor. $50 for water, two entrees, and a very disappointing lunch service.
