We also got a tuna sub, which didn't actually get eaten until the next day. I was so full with a lot of food just want to let people know when they're ordering the portions generous! I did also have some requirements and they listen to my notes which is always appreciated. If I had to offer one critique, I would change the tomato sauce on the chicken cutlet to be less chunky and more sauce like it maybe add some olive oil or garlic or something. It wasn't lackluster, but It could've been a smidge better. ( that would have changed you from a 4 star to a 5 star.

There's almost something cozy about a place like this. Knotty P. has all the diner signs: worn counter, people yapping, the waitress taking orders non-stop, booths aren't huge, aisles are tiny (good luck getting to your seat) and the special scrape sound of the large metal spatula touching the steel flattop. If you don't mind sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with the regulars, then the counter is your spot. The only 2 seats available were at the counter and we snagged them. The breakfast potatoes are exactly what you want them to be: crispy-edges and golden- these have a little heat kick- not too much- but just enough to keep you going for another bite. As non-meat eaters, we appreciated how the cook keeps the sausages in their own territory (something is something I guess) from the omelettes, pancakes, etc. Then there's the energy- fast and a little loud in the best way. And right in the middle of it, is Ileana who has that special spark and every beat, timed.

This is definitely a suitable replace for many of us that are too lazy to leave the building for lunch. The service has always been efficient and friendly to me. There is a nice sandwich station with many options. Hot entrees and action items are alright - sometimes it just tastes a little bland. They rotate between classic meat/starch dishes (from meat/potatoes to noodles/meat or rice as starch). The soup and salad station have been variably good. On Thursdays, there is sushi, spring rolls, and seaweed salad (albeit quite pricey for meh sushi). I also recommend using Levelup to pay to save time and earn some credit if you often forget lunch like me. Go here if you have to, but why on earth would you ever go out of your way for it.

Seems they've relocated from their original location in Wellesley, but the food is just as amazing as I remember from back in the day. I recommend trying most of the selections of pizzas, calzones and the broasted chicken fingers, as they're delicious. Their homemade cole slaw is fantastic as well.

Not a bad place for a sub or pizza. Everything is just mediocre, nothing too special. Flavors in the pizza are a bit weak, i would like a richer flavor in their pizza sauce. Check it out if you're in the area, but like others have said, its a bit hard to find (hiding behind Paparazzi). read more

""Meet me at the deli, meet me at the bar."…read more(The Strokes) Gianni's is a family-owned deli and pizzeria on Highland Street in the heart of Needham's busy Central Business District. They don't occupy a particularly large space -it's dominated by an ordering station with a big menu board over it, and a small showcase for their highly rated pizzas. Why "highly rated"? Well, they scored a 7.9 rating on Barstool sports, just a scant .1 of a point from their 8.0's description of "exceptional and rare". But we weren't there for pizza, we wanted to pick up some subs for a few lunches on our weekend trip. They have 14 "cold" and 10 "hot" sandwiches, and the pricing structure really makes you a fool if you don't go big. Our Italian and Ham and Cheese subs were prices at $11.99 for small and $12.99 for a large, so you tell me what choice you would make? My large Italian sub easily provided a satisfying half for Friday lunch and a second half for Saturday lunch. It was an excellent sandwich with plenty of meat on a pillowy soft sesame breaded sub roll with lettuce, tomato, onions and vinegar, Have I had subs with more meat? Of course I have. But have I paid around $20 for comparably sized subs? Of course I have. So, was I happy for Gianni's value, considering quality, quantity, and price? One thousand percent YES. Service was friendly and we enjoyed our visit very much. Of Note Their parking lot is tiny, so it would be challenging to negotiate on a perfect weather day. It was a snowy mess when we visited, and the mounds of snow and sardine-like jam-up of cars made the lot a hard pass for us. We ended up parking in the big lot across the street, behind Blue On Highland and walked over.

Possibly the worst pizza I have ever had in my entire life!…read more Ordered two 18" pizzas via GrubHub, a sausage & ricotta, and a pepperoni. The former was a swimming pool of liquid on top, and wasn't even sliced. Unsliced pizza? Maybe they were worried all that liquid would destroy the box if they sliced it?

Combine that with the GrubHub (or store's?) driver just dropping the pizzas in my neighbor's driveway, and a photo of the location didn't show up for some time in the app, so I had to wander around randomly looking for my pizzas in my pajamas.

When asked, they'll cook the crust well done, the way I like it. They also make a variety of very cool specialty pies that others in the house gravitate to. I like to order my toppings a la carté, usually pepperoni + roasted red peppers (or pepperoni + mushrooms; or all three). Roasted peppers--not raw--are a must for me.
