Staples pizza shop near military base which I've used since day one of me being here. Food has t changed same menu, same service with a few new faces, the dining area is still the same setup like an after a game vibe to grab drinks and pizza (they serve beer). Nothing fancy just a good ole neighborhood pizza parlor... read more

Gianni's Pizza in Severn absolutely ruined other pizza for me--in the best possible way. I walked in expecting "good for a strip-mall spot" and walked out low‑key mad that I've wasted this many years on chain pizza. The crust is where it all starts: that thin New York style with just enough flop to prove it's legit, but a crisp bite at the edge that actually fights back a little. The sauce tastes bright and fresh, not sugary, and the cheese hits that perfect zone where it stretches, melts, and doesn't drown the slice in grease. Throw on pepperoni or sausage and it's game over. The vibe is classic neighborhood joint--nothing fancy, just people who clearly care about what's coming out of the oven. The crew is friendly, quick, and they've somehow never once messed up my order, even when I'm being extra about toppings. If you're anywhere near Severn and still defaulting to Pizza Hut or Domino's, I genuinely feel bad for you. Gianni's is the kind of place you recommend to friends "with your whole chest" and then feel weirdly proud when they text you mid-slice saying, "Okay, you were right." 8.9 on the Dave Portnoy's scale for me. The highest I have given outside of NYC read more

The pizza was delicious; flavorful and crispy. The Italian Cold and Cheesesteak were "HORRIBLE"; small, tasteless, lacking meat, old tomatoes. The Staff was friendly and welcoming. The restaurant was clean and well-lit. I will not patronize this restaurant again. read more

Came here on a Saturday during a lunch break from class. The employees are very friendly with some jokes up their sleeves (gave me a teeny cup instead of a bigger water cup, and gave me a teeny calzone before putting the big one on the plate). All in good fun! It was easy to make the order and they have restrooms in the back. I got the meat calzone. and while it was delicious, the center of the calzone was barely warm. It was definitely stuffed full, which I'm certain makes it difficult to cook evenly. This is the reason for removal of one star. I would 100% come back here for another calzone and to try out their pizzas. They had 6 or so tables to sit at which was nice and a soda machine with a water tap on it as well. They are in a strip mall and while it does get busy, there should always be parking available. read more

If you're craving really good pizza, this is the place to go. We ordered half Godfather half cheese and it was delicious. We didn't even call ahead, just walked in, and within 10 minutes our pizza was ready. Hot, fresh, and full of flavor. Next time we'll definitely ask for extra toppings, but even as is, it was still very good. 10/10, will absolutely be back! read more

Decent ny style pizza. Crust could be a bit more crunchy. Prices are affordable. I got it to go, so don't know much about the ambiance.

Best toasted turkey & cheese sub (w/ lettuce, tomato, onions, mayo, oil/vinegar) EVER!! Pizza is excellent, too! read more

Gianni's is my go to spot for a quick lunch. Their service is friendly, quick, and the prices are very affordable for the amount of food that you get. The pizza is absolutely fantastic with a nice tangy sauce, plenty of cheese and pepperoni under the cheese (which I've found that I like). The also sell by the slice and can have them ready very quick. There is a decent amount of seating (booths) with chips and drink options. Check them out if you're in the area. read more

Ate here after many years. It was still the same great pizza. This is the closest thing I have ever had to a New York Slice. I had two slices - one pepperoni and one cheese. I sat in the place and ate. The staff was engaging and friendly. They offer pies, slices and have other food that can eat there or take to go. read more

This place is FABULOUS! We dined in; there is seating for 18-20 people max. We arrived near the end of the lunch rush and got the last table available. We ordered a small NY Style and small Chicago Style pizza for 3 of us. There was enough left over for lunch tomorrow too. The pizza was absolutely amazing! Fresh, hot, and delicious. The service was just as amazing as the food. Everyone was nice, friendly, and cheerful. I will definitely return here! read more

Pizza and subs are both amazing. Staff is quite helpful too. Cute little independently owned and operated store.

There is a Pizza Hut and subway next to this amazing small business that has been here for over 20 years. How it will be a decision for anyone is beyond me. Great pizza and people! read more

Went for lunch its a really cool authentic Italian spot. I ordered a cheese pizza slice and a cheesesteak. The pizza slice was very fresh and definitely a good alternative if you just fix a pizza craving. The cheesesteak was pretty bad the meat was like lunch meat. I will try other things in the future. Service was great! Definitely has that local feel and will be coming in again. read more

Just moved to the area from Hawaii. Wanted to find a good pizza place that isn't one of the big chain restaurants. Decided to try Gianni's. It's really close to our house. I called, placed my order and was told approx 20-25 min pick up time. No problem. Easy to navigate, good parking. It's in a strip mall of sorts. Restaurant seemed very clean and my pizzas were ready just as promised. Gentleman behind the counter was friendly and professional. We ordered the White Pizza, The Godfather Pizza, and a pepperoni Chicago style pizza. All were excellent! My favorite was the white pizza and that shocked me because I love toppings. It was a tough decision as they were all very very good. Great dough, spices, right amount of toppings. I have literally no complaints and can't wait to try the other items on the menu. read more

The food is absolutely exceptional, the service is unparalleled, and the atmosphere is nothing short of enchanting.

We ordered a large NY style cheese pizza here about two weeks ago. I forgot to take a picture of it, but it was a pretty pizza. We like our pizza cooked well done with a slightly crispy crust and they did it just right. The pizza was perfect. I have been looking for some authentic tasting pizza in the area, and I think I found it. The sauce was delicious with just the right amount on the pizza and the crust was good. I would definitely order from here again. Next up is a calzone, manicotti or maybe some stuffed shells. I really wish I had taken a picture of the whole pizza, but take my word for it, it was tasty. The service was good. The person who worked the counter was cordial. The restaurant had a pretty standard carryout ambiance, but it appeared clean. read more

Absolutely love this place! It reminds me of New Jersey and New York. My kids love the thin crust cheese pizza. We have made this a family staple every Tuesday night when a large is half off. The kids love it and reminds me of being back home in New York and in Jersey. The staff is amazing. Always greeting me with a friendly smile. If you'd like to eat in, there are plenty of tables and you can order and sit down. Go once a week well worth it. read more

Anne Arundel County STAPLE. Gianni's Pizza is a family operated business that has been around for about 39 years. It has been everyone's go-to pizza joint since I can remember. Their kitchen is "Italian scratch" styled, making everything they serve in-house. If you are a fan of "warrior" pizzas, this is you new go-to spot (warrior pizza is a pinwheeled pizza stuffed with freshly grated mozzarella cheese, ground Italian sausage, and pepperoni). Being someone who doesn't truly love pizza, Gianni's pizza is hard to pass up. On Tuesdays they serve a large cheese pizza for the price of a medium! read more

Tried Gianni's for the first time today, 8/30/24. I was in the mood for a 'GOOD' thick crust pizza, and they have it. We got a plain cheese, nothing plain about it, and a meat lovers Chicago pie, lots of meat, both were great tasting (crust, sauce, cheese all delicious). They are a little out of the way from where we live in Columbia, but worth the trip. Oh yea, I got a couple of their their desserts, and YES, Miss P.A., we will be back, your fresh made chocolate cannoli are amazing. The young lady behind the counter, super polite, quick, kind, and very easy to converse with. There is seating available don't go looking for any Michelin Stars, after all it is a small shopping center pizza place. I would pick this place 9 times out of 10 over Ledo Pizza. The seating is clean and not cramped. I would take my wife there for lunch/dinner. I really want to try their Calzone and meatball sub. read more

I love this place. The pizza is amazing and the staff are fun. You can tell it is a local favorite by the customers -- a constant stream of young, old, families, and my favorite: Italian-Americans. The open kitchen and pictures on the wall adds a fun atmosphere. read more

So I came across this place when I searched New York style pizza. The reviews were good so I figured why not give it a try. A friend of mine visited this place twice already because the pizza is that good. The owner Is from NY so you are getting some authentic style NY pizza. Deliciously, dangerous piping hot cheese that melts right off the slice. Just the way I like it. I will continue to come back to this spot. read more

Gianni's Pizza - Godfather pizza was so delicious and perfectly balanced - Pizza Near Me - Severn, Maryland

I was in the area for work and thought I'd stop at Soobway. I saw Gianni's and decided to try that instead and beyond happy that I did. I got the Italian Sub. It was delicious, packed with flavor and generous portions of meat. I got my bread toasted and it was perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy in the middle. The veggies were crunchy and fresh, but the winner is what tasted like a roasted red pepper and oil vinegar sauce. The service was great. I was clearly exhausted and the staff was so kind and patient. They explained the sandwich I was asking about, brought my food to the table, and even asked how was doing despite being pretty busy. 10 out 10. I will be returning! I enthusiastically recommend! read more

Although we've been back numerous times, I never thought about writing an update till now. The food is always fresh and tasty, and the service is good, so why update? Well ... The other day, I really wanted a gyro and DD wanted a calzone - no problem, I know just the place. Ordered by phone and picked up 10 minutes later. I made a mistake, and to be honest myself and the two workers were distracted and amused by two patrons who were cracking jokes. So it never occurred to me that my Greek salad should have been in a separate container from hot food. I arrived home and after smh I decided to call and ask about a credit. I believe it was probably the owner who answered and was immediately apologetic (and scolded the employees in colorful language!) He asked if I'd be back in any time soon and I said I would, so he said he'd put a note on the refrigerator that said "Becky - Greek salad - credit". It was actually two days before I called and ordered the salad, which was ready in 5 minutes (!) and sure enough, as soon as I started to explain, the server asked, "Are you Becky?" She pulled the ticket off the frig and I thoroughly enjoyed the delicious salad when I got home. Great service!! read more

great pizza, great prices, amazing service. maybe not the cutest place to dine in but with the other 2 i wouldn't mind. could use a update on decor but when you have great food and service that doesn't really matter. read more

This is the best pizza place around. I'm Italian and from NJ so it's always a challenge to find even decent pizza. We've ordered from Giannis maybe four or five times now and have only ever had one pizza we weren't excited about. Generally though, this is our go to when not in NYC or NJ. read more

After discovering this place over 4 years ago, still my go to place for a NY style pie. Simple, perfect balance. Great tasting crust that doesn't overwhelm. This is the kind of pizza you crave when not on the East Coast. read more

We've lived in the area for over a decade but never made it over to Gianni's until recently. First impression wasn't great. A paper sign that says "No free water. .50 cents per cup". I'm hoping they've had problems in the past with people not ordering food and only drinking water hanging around. If that's the case, the sign should say "no water cup without food purchase" or something. But if they are actually charging paying customers for a water cup, that's just sad and petty. Despite them being busy, our food was made in a reasonable amount of time. We ordered pizzas, a salad, subs, and a few other things. Ratings: Pizza- 8/10 quality, 6/10 price Sub- 7/10 quality, 6/10 price Salad- 5/10 quality, 4/10 price The pizza was by far the best part of the whole experience. If it wasn't so pricey per pie, I'd gladly come back. The thing is, there are several other options, locally owned and not, nearby where the quality is close but the price is much better: Squisito's (also pretty pricey), Casa Della Nonna, Mama Lucia's Cantina, Mamma Roma's. A little less local, but Bubba's 33 in Glen Burnie can make a mean pizza as well. Given all the other options, I'm not sure this place is worth the premium they're charging. Sub- Nothing to write home about. Again, more than I would expect to pay most places and not really worth it. Salad- Saddest part of the meal. You never really know to expect when you order a salad from a pizza joint. Not the worst I've ever seen (two pieces or romaine with some parmesan cheese sprinkled over the top), but nowhere near the best either. If it was larger I would say it was a reasonable value but felt like we overpaid for what we were given. The ultimate question: Would I go back? Maybe. I'd stick to simpler pizzas as their specialty versions are too much. Given all the other options, I doubt we'll go back any time soon, especially if they are trying to nickel and dime people for water. read more

Gianni's pizza has remained 5 stars in my books for over 20 years! Their pizza is by far one of my top favorites! I tried the Italian cold cut tonight for the first time and it did not disappoint! Delicious! These guys are amazing! Definitely give them a try! They will not disappoint! read more

I really liked this place. 5 bucks for big slice of cheese pizza and a bottle of soda. The counter person was really friendly and offered to serve my slice at the same time as my friend's even though they were gonna be ready at different times. I liked all the seasonings they offered at the tables. One of them seemed like Parmesan cheese mixed with dried basil which was good. They also had pepper flakes and I think garlic powder. The pizza was great, I'd come back for more pizza or a hot sandwich! read more

Would get pizza from this place often. Could not say enough of how great this place is. Employees are super nice and pizza is even better!

This place is easy to miss but hard to forget. We moved to the area and thought we would give this place a try. Made a couple turns into the wrong parking lot but finally made it there. The place looked unassuming but, once we got to the register, everything started coming together. The staff was very friendly and open and the prices were reasonable. Once we received our order, all we could say was wow...this food is amazing. So glad we found this place... read more

Great service! Best pizza In the area!!! New York style pizza. Best bang for the buck. Pizza by the slice too! Very clean establishment.

Was looking for NYC style pizza before heading to airport. Only offered cheese & pepperoni by the slice. Pizza was good and hot the spot. I would try other places before going back. read more

This place has very good pizza. It's kind of a hole in a the wall place. Pizza however came out very hot and ready. Food: We ordered the veggie plus sausage and also godfather. Godfather was great and demolished quickly, with a sweetness somewhere. The Veggie also had the sweetness but I think that was more because of sweetened peppers. Also the mushrooms are not fresh. Leaving out these main ingredients, I would recommend all the others. Parking: Shared lot in a strip mall but no issues on both times we have gone there. Note: employees are not wearing masks. read more

Ordered a large New York style pepperoni and sausage pizza. Service was great and super quick. Pizza was also very affordable. Tasted amazing and was really happy with it. The only thing I would point out was the pepperoni and sausage toppings were big time skimped on. It wasn't like the pictures I've seen here on Yelp. That being said though, I like a cheese pizza just as much anyways so I was happy regardless and didn't care that much to make any deal out of it. Still deserves 5 stars. Plus I love the longtime legacy of this family run pizza joint that has seemed to leave a positive impact on all fellow pizza lovers in the area. :) read more
