My husband and I were looking for a pizza spot in the area during the latter part of the evening…read moreand found our way to Isabella's Pizza. We were cutting it close to closing time, but tried our luck anyways. There were two people working at the time, maybe the owner and his son. They were both so friendly and kind upon us walking in. They greeted us as if they had just opened for the day. They still had several pies out for us to select from, along with other miscellaneous items to add to our order. We were pretty hungry and ordered a bunch of items. Again, both guys were very kind and treated our order with care. They also had no problem with us eating our food inside and never made us feel rushed even though it was nearly their closing time. The service alone was standout and 5-stars. Isabella's Pizza is located in a small strip of shops. They have free parking shared among the businesses. The establishment has several tables and chairs if you'd like to dine in. Their menu offers a variety of items and, even though we came in so late, they had a diverse spread of pies to order some slices. As noted above, we came in pretty hungry and ordered several items to share. These included: - arancinis - plain slice - chicken parm roll - stuffed knots (spinach and pepperoni) - garlic knots Everything was really tasty. Portions were perfect and the price was just right. Definitely a solid find for us in the area! We would definitely return in the future and would ideally look to stop in during the day to really see their full spread and offerings.

The penne alla vodka is some of the best I've ever had. Chicken cutlets were so crispy and made perfectly. My family tried the veal Sorrentino and another lemon type pasta dish. All so good. Everyone was very happy with their meal. We most definitely will be back! Highly recommend.

Driving around Islip, I stopped into Gio's hopeful for a decent slice and I got exactly what I…read moreneeded. Not only do they have an extensive list of pies, they had Sicilian slices, too. I got a slice of the "grandma" which is a think New York style with garlic, and two slices of Sicilian cheese. Both were delicious - and the Sicilian crust was just slightly crisp enough to a little crunch to each bite. Just what I expected. And the friendly staff were the cherry on top. Stop into Gio's if you're ever near by - you'll be glad you did!

My husband and I recently stumbled upon Gio's Pizza & Restaurant during an extended stay in Islip…read more We moved from New York to the West Coast and have been dying for some quality, delicious New York pizza. Gio's Pizza & Restaurant was everything we loved and missed. It truly tasted like a slice of home for us. Delicious and fresh slices with friendly and quick service, we could not have asked for a better experience. We found ourselves coming back several times during our trip. Gio's Pizza & Restaurant is located in a small strip of shops with free parking shared among the businesses. The establishment has several chairs and tables for customers to sit and enjoy their slices. Many people at the time of our visits took their food to go, but it's nice that they have the option to eat in if people would prefer that. They offered many different types of pies on display and also had some awesome daily specials. I'm fairly simple with my order with a plain slice and some garlic knots, but my husband tried an array of things and enjoyed everything. Gio's Pizza & Restaurant is going to be a staple place for us to visit the next time we're in Islip. Excellent food, good service, and fair pricing.

Instead, we found ourselves wandering into Vinnie's Mulberry Street. From what I had read, it is a classic Italian eatery known for its simple pasta dishes, brick-oven pizza, and traditional entrees. We decided to sit at the bar, seeking a relaxed atmosphere and a few drinks to unwind from the long, boring games. The bartender greeted us warmly, and his friendly, accommodating demeanor immediately made us feel at home. We did not come for a full meal this time; our main goal was to enjoy some drinks and a bit of downtime. I have to say, I really loved the bartender, His easygoing nature and attentiveness made the experience memorable. I am sure the food is fantastic, but that is a visit for another day. For now, it was the perfect spot to relax and recharge after a day of little league baseball.

There are numerous pizza choices in the area, but most places don't get the crust quite right…read more Unfortunately, this was no different. The cheese slice had a nice crunch on the outside with a soft interior, and technically, it was cooked perfectly. The problem was that the crust had almost no flavor. Perhaps the dough wasn't salted enough or wasn't allowed to ferment long enough. Whatever the reason, even good sauce and cheese can't make up for a tasteless crust. With pizza, everything has to come together. The sauce was also overly acidic for my taste. I prefer a slightly sweeter sauce, and this one seemed heavily seasoned with dried oregano. Given all the glowing reviews, I expected something that stood out. Instead, I felt the pizza was no better than roughly 80% of the other pizzerias in the area. The crust desperately needs more flavor, whether that comes from a longer fermentation, more salt, or a combination of both.

We ordered from here at least once a week, but unfortunately, the quality and customer service have gone downhill. After one major order mistake, I called to have it corrected and was met with an attitude that completely turned me off. I even questioned whether the restaurant had changed ownership because the difference in service and quality was so noticeable. I was told it hadn't, but there was a new manager whom I had actually seen at the restaurant. Despite all of that, my family insisted we give it another chance because they love one particular meal. I refused to order, pay, or pick it up--and sure enough, they forgot the salad dressing (again!) and another part of the order was incorrect. When I called and asked if someone could deliver the missing items I was met with attitude once again. Tonight, we gave them yet another chance, and, surprise, two of our pasta orders were wrong. On top of that, the food simply doesn't taste as good as it used to. I'm really not sure what happened, but between the menu changes, our favorite items disappearing, repeated mistakes, and consistently disappointing customer service, I'm officially done. I've even perfected the "favorite meal" at home on principle. After years of being loyal customers, it's extremely disappointing to say that I will not be going back.
