Giovanni’s Old World New York Pizzeria: Reviews & Ratings
Very good place! Chicken wings are fire and so is the sausage pizza. But arcade games in the back are rigged
I like the thin crust Bronx pizza. Lots of toppings and the sauce is tasty. Every time I come here, the service has always been great. I get a friendly greeting, offers of eating utensils, plates, etc., and nice thank you. There are closer pizza places around me but I'll drive a little further for the pizza here.
Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 I crave this pizza place ALL THE TIME! I'm a big pizza lover and this place always hits the spot. They have a good ranch too. They need to open a new location in Elk Grove.
I called in a pizza for pick up after work on Friday. Inside the restaurant was surprisingly spacious! There's room for multiple large parties. I had to wait maybe 5-10 minutes, not bad at all! The staff was friendly and efficient. I ordered a small pizza with pineapple, Canadian bacon, and jalapenos. It was delicious! I had half for dinner and had the rest in the air fryer for lunch the next day. I will definitely be back!
Not sure why the reviews are so low here. Fresh pizza & homemade ranch. Awesome spot! Food: 5/5 Pepperoni slice: 5/5 Classic & delicious with the ranch. Cheese slice: 5/5 So hard to beat a thin crust slice! Tip: Get the ranch! It's homemade!! Service: 5/5 They were out of the pesto but the lady at the front gave us recommendations of other things to order. Ambiance: 5/5 Cute old school place with longer tables as well smaller tables to sit at.
WHAT is going on, Yelpers? Who could possibly NOT rave about this pizza?? What am I missing? This is incredible pizza! My son would say "this pizza is Jesus." The ultimate compliment! I live fairly far, which is a serious bummer given that I will have to drive a long way to have this again. But drive I will....probably weekly. True NY style. Thin, cheesy, and crunchy on the crust - sauce, cheese, and spices are on the money. Zero changes needed. It's perfect. Got it to go. When I arrived it was in the "cooked but not hot" glass rack, then put into the oven for the final 3-5 minutes so it was piping hot and perfect when they handed it to me. I like my pizza hot so I took my first bite 60 seconds after I walked out. Never have I been so grateful to be a passenger. My husband drove and ate the entire time, in a downpour. That's how good it is. We just got home and the entire medium sized pizza is gone. It was "enough" for 2 hungry adults but I will always get a large going forward so I can eat til I'm sick. Like God intended. If you don't love this pizza please compliment me and tell me where you go instead cuz I really wanna know what could possibly be better than this!
