I've lived in three different coastal states, and Georgio's serves up some of the best pizza I've ever had. Once a week or so, I visit to have a reliably delicious slice. But I'm not here to discuss their excellent pizza, the generous slices, or the largest pie in the region. I'm here to gush about their soda. I only have one vice in life: Dr Pepper. I visit near-daily to sit and watch old David Letterman clips on my phone, and nothing pairs as well with talk-show clips from the 1980s quite like an ice-cold Dr Pepper. I don't know what their trick is, but it's the perfect balance of syrup & carbonation. What's more is the availability of that delightful ice all enthusiasts crave: small & airy, which allows each cube to harbor your soda of choice within it's cracks for a flavor-filled burst with every satisfying crunch. Staff is invariably friendly and attentive, and seem to have no qualms about a daily dip into Letterman clips. Ownership is likewise friendly & kind, and offer up a warm greeting any time we cross paths. There's always a clean table available (sanitized with Fabuloso® if I'm guessing correctly), there are a couple of arcade machines (play Pac-Man while you wait!), and much of the restaurant is tastefully decorated with Super Mario memorabilia. If you're anything like me, and h*ck, who isn't, you'll love catching up with your favorite David Letterman clips and enjoying a slice of pepperoni while sipping an otherworldly example of Dr Pepper. It is my view that Georgio's merits all five stars, a blue ribbon, numerous gold medals and a Nobel peace prize. read more

Robert was a pleasure to talk to and the calzone and cheesy bread was a 10 out of 10. I come to this place every time I get my vehicle worked on at the tire shop down the way and they never disappoint!! read more

I've been coming here since I was kid. Still a solid place to enjoy a slice of pizza or bite from a calzone. Even enjoy a standup coin-op match or two while waiting. read more

The service here was 10 stars. Love you can order by the slice, cooked to order so it's hot and fresh. I highly recommend.

Cool old school place. Got two pies to go and my customers were appreciative . Actually gave me a complimentary cup for a drink as I waited. Will come back. The old school music, red and white checkered flooring and pinball machine is awesome read more

Found this place using Groupon, really good coupon deal you get to $10 coupons for about $12. Located in the middle of old downtown Lubbock, you will find that during peak hours you might not find a good parking place but there are plenty around so keep searching but try not to get t boned because traffic down here is pretty confusing, even for a houstonian. So I finally fired off one of these coupons, no you can only use one per day so I guess I'll be back here tomorrow. The interior is outdated but kind of the old downtown look kind of like Mel's Diner so don't expect a new looking fresh interior. Also condiments are not filled, all of the parmesan cheese canisters were less than half full content, kind of a turn off. Cleanup on aisle two, I guess they burnt something while I was making this review because it's either burnt ass or they toasted a crusty real bad. Since I like supporting mom and pop places and I apologize for going against the grain on this but the top of my pizza was just too girly or it seems undercooked. I could immediately tell just by looking at it and sure enough my confirmation was right. The bottom was well-cooked at least, I do not know if this is a regular thing or not, but not used to this. They also have a coupon special on their flyers and something that caught my eye or like 4 calzonez for $8 or something like that. They have a soda fountain machine here which is delightful to know so you don't have to pay per can or bottle. I have to use the next Groupon off before I leave this town so I guess I'll give here another try to see if I can get something different and things turn out right, Service at the counter was pretty friendly, you get added a star for that. read more

If you're looking for great pizza and great people behind the pizza, look no further than Giorgio's pizza! I came yesterday to get a slice and really enjoyed talking to the owner and his son. They were super friendly, affable, kind, and even offered me a banana (that wasn't for sale) just because they are cool people. Also, at my age, I should never turn down potassium. The slices of pizza are large (the slices look like they are cut from a 16 or 18 inch pizza), beautifully thin, with just the right amount of toppings. The sauce is wonderfully flavorful. The slices are perfect for eating off the plate or folding in half and going HAAAAAM! Bless this business and the family that owns and operates it. They not only look after their customers, but they also try to look out for unhoused people in the neighborhood as well. I support any business that is about providing excellent service and helping people. Giorgio's pizza and the people within truly make this eatery a memorable place. May many blessing come to this family and all their businesses. They are good people who make good food! read more

I love this place. I grew up in New Jersey and their pizza and Calzone are just like New York Style Pizza. Thin crust ,soft and crunchy and perfect! read more

Not sure why this pizza joint only has four stars on Yelp. This is the real deal born and lived in RI and worked in downtown Boston and did day trips to NYC, so we know good pizza. Been in Texas twelve years. Can count on one hand the number of pizza places that are good in Texas. This is one of them. Forget the other pizza places in Lubbock. Sells pizza by the slice with up to three toppings and they don't skimp. Two slices and a soda for $8.75. The inside makes you feel at home and wreaks of great pizza. Wreaks as in decor - cool decor. Awesome job! read more

Local owned business. We're talking mom and pop shop where their son works and helps run the store. I absolutely love the calzones. Everything is fresh. You can watch them prep their dough and throw them straight into the oven. Love going here. read more

The BEST pizza by the slice and cannolis! The crust is the perfect thickness to fold and the toppings are impeccable. And at $3 for a slice who could resist?! The cannolis are absolutely delicious, you can't just have one! The customer service is top notch and we will DEFINITELY be back! read more

Giorgio's Pizza - Pizza by the slice and cannoli - Pizza Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

4.689 STAR!!! One of the most down to earth services we have received to this point. The peeps over at Woody's always showing love and Giorgio's is up there with them. No conglomerate mumbo jumbo here. DELIVERY AND PRICING: THE MEATS PIZZA: WELL DONE The use of the ham/ Canadian bacon( not sure what the difference is, but it was delish) in coin form as the pepperoni made the pizza look more uniform than TDCJs new Class A. The ingredients had a lovely toast factor that added to the crunch over the pie itself. The sauce had a thickness that can be compared to a ragu as oppose to the tomato bisque we see splashed on other pies. This pizza I can eat all day everyday.. THE SUPREME: on the Supreme the fact that the mushrooms and bell peppers were cut down smaller than Rob Kardashians self respect after having a child with Blacc Chyna made all the difference. Alot of spots forget that these types of vegetables and fungai hold alot of water which later get released a top the pie. Giving it that watered down inconsistent look. And just like DJ Mustard and Migos we are all about that pure water. FINAL THOUGHT: The extreme simplicity of these pies with their robust flavors really made this one of our top three pics for Lubbock's best pizza. Delivery was fast and pricing was more than reasonable. The dough had thee most beautiful crunch yet softness that could put the fussiest of baby's asleep. I, Fountaine De la Reese, had a whopping 4 slices before I even had to reach for palette cleansing swig of Cherry Coke. The only bad thing I can say about this place is the fact they do close early and if I'm not mistaken, they are not open on weekends. If the time off they're taking is used to prep up for another exhilarating day of making pizza like this, then I guess we all just have to wake up a lil earlier to get our piece of the pie..hehehe no pun intended..It was close to great, it wasn't bad, IT WAS PIZZA!!! read more

I'm not one to usually leave a review.. but I was blown away with their pizza! It is the best I've ever had! The crust is crispy thin with a savory slight hint of a buttery taste, sauce taste like it came straight from Italy, and the cheese is out of this world!! Service was fast, friendly, and exceptional. As a previous cook in a restaurant, I was super impressed by their main cook who took orders and payment, made the pizzas from start to finish, then brought the orders out in a timely fashion. If I had my own restaurant I would hire that cook in a heartbeat. This is now definitely our place to order pizza and more! read more

WE LOVE GIORGIO'SThe workers are friendly & kind. They get pizza out quick! The cannoli's are to die for! Awesome treasure in downtown Lubbock! read more

Everything on the menu is great and so reasonably priced! Love this place and the Vitelas' are such awesome people! Hard working and honest my favorite pizza place in LBB read more

just discovered this Italian restaurant, downtown Lubbock.... It is Amazing! The calzone was so good, definitely a meal on it's own and tasted so fresh . The cannoli OMGoddness! Perfection. The owner , Mr Vitelli was so nice and brought my to go order out to me Fresh & Hot. I felt like he personally made it just for me. Love this place. read more

Amazing customer service!!!! Robert and his wife are absolutely wonderful and Braxton was very helpful as well. We got 2 very fresh calzones that were delicious! The dough was light and airy, perfect golden brown and the filling wasn't as salty as some calzones I've had elsewhere. It's not a fancy place at all but the food and service are what makes this place special!!! Try them out!!!! read more

I've gotten their calzone and pizza. The calzone was handed to me cold off their over. I would give that a 2-3 Star in itself. It wasn't very good and pretty disappointing. The cold part just upset me but I'll take blame for not asking them to heat it up. The pizza is pretty good. It just has a very heavy and dough'y crust. Overall, pretty good for the geographical location. Def pleased. Overall- 4 Star, would go again. read more

A little low key, but worth the adventure to find parking. $5 gets a calzone (or two slices of pizza) and a drink at lunch. I cannot describe how good this cazone is, it is the perfect combination of awesome and crust served hot and quick. If you are any place around downtown you shouldn't miss out. A word of warning, the lines easily reaches the door EVERYDAY at lunch, but be patient because it moves quick. Giorgio's only takes cash so come prepared. The sandwiches and pasta dishes look amazing, but I cannot give up a calzone to try one. read more

Pizza is 7/10. Cheese and toppings are good and fresh but the crust is okay. The arcade games are fun though

Love the fact they use fresh dough.... but the center of my calzone was too soft and not hot. You can tell it is fresh ingredients just missed the mark on cooking it. The prices are great 7.00 for calzone combo. 2 slice and drink 6.00... You can now pay with ATM/Crédit Card... read more

Vey good calzone. Pizza The service is quick and courteous and they take good care of there customers

Yum yum yum. This place is one of the best places we have for lunch! I work downtown and I come here at least once a month. It feels like you're eating pizza they way you should in the U.S.! New York style! It's really cheap and the pizza slices are HUGE! It's also great for lunch because the turn around time is so fast. They have several of everything made by lunchtime so when you order they usually give you your food immediately after you pay. I think a pizza slice and drink are usually around $5. They also have calzones, which I really love because the cheese is melted around every topping and it's nicely sealed in a scrumptious crust. read more

It has been since about 1998 when I last frequented this place. My hiatus has been more a function of a long sojourn outside of the state of Texas more so than willful neglect. With a recent move back to my native Lubbock, this was one of the first places I frequented for lunch upon being back in town. From a conversation with a fellow patron in line, it is apparent that the ownership has changed but the essence of the place has not changed a bit, which is a good thing. I had to have the calzone to get reintroduced to Giorgio's, and I was thrilled to have the same taste explosion of piping hot pepperoni, Italian Sausage and melted cheese. Giorgio's ambiance was always a mix of downtown office workers, blue collar workers, college and high school students. I was thrilled to find even the clientele much the same as I remember it. Progress and change is certainly good, but it is still good to have tradition and places that seem to stay still in time. read more

Calzone special: So good you might as well get 2. Just AMAZING. Best calzone in town. You will know who the owner is once you see him. Friendly guy with a perfect Italian accent. Pretty fit for a pizza owner. JS Downside: Cash only and Monday thru Friday only. read more

Meh. The crust is good, but the toppings could be better. Canned mushrooms were pretty disappointing, and I felt like the whole pizza overall could've had more flavor. Kinda reminded me of homemade pizza. So, it was ok. Will I go back? Probably not. read more

We are in Texas. So, it is best to start from a place where we do not compare Giorgio's calzone with those in the cities of the North Atlantic. Not that I'm actively eating pizzeria style food out here, but, thus far, Giorgio's has the best calzone I've tasted in the Southwest. I also appreciated the quick service and close proximity to the downtown offices and courthouses where I had to be on the day I visited Giorgio's Pizza. read more

Awesome pizza place I stumbled on by sheer dumb luck. I was on my way to One Guy From Italy Pizza, but I saw Giorgio's and thought "Hey, I'd like to try that." I pulled into a parking spot right next to the door, and had to wait behind one person in line. This was around 12:45, so I guess I missed the big lunch crowd. I got one of the lunch specials, 2 slices of pizza and a drink for $5.50. The pizza came fresh out of the oven and was piping hot. Once the pizza cooled to the perfect temperature (about 1.5 minutes later), I was surprised at how delicious the pizza was. The slices are large and worth every bit of the $5.50. In my opinion, Giorgio's is way better than One Guy from Italy, where you get a good helping of grease with your pizza, and a very soft crust. I would definitely eat at Giorgio's again! read more

You have to see the owner of this establishment to understand why the calzones are so damn good. He is right off a poster for Italian food or pizza. He looks the part like the freakin' Lone Ranger. I found Giorgio's Pizza by mistake --- my mistake being to be at the Lubbock Courthouse for a mediation proceeding. Wandered over on the suggestion of the mediator and had a superb calzone. The calzone was partially baked and then finished when ordered. Scrumptious innards included meatballs, pepperoni and meat sauce with a nice warm runny and delicious cheese. Easily the best calzone I have ever eaten --- well a tie with some from Little Italy. But this is Lubbock and who expected this? While I don't always like going to Lubbock, when I do, I will eat at Giorgio's Pizza, my friend. Wow! read more

Their pizza is pretty yummy and the prices aren't bad either. I like that you can get a single slice or two instead of a whole box. The pizza tastes different in a good way. The location is a bit weird it's next to a tattoo shop but other than that it's one of the spots to check out in Lubbock. read more

Giorgio's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

Bought 2 slices and a drink $7 and the guy puts me on the spot asking how much tip I want to add to my credit card as I pay, mind you I just walked in and stepped up to the counter. I say $2 and they hand me a plate that's been sitting on the counter which looked like left out pizza and tasted like it had been sitting there for a few minutes too long. Reminded me of the pizza I used to get in the school cafeteria but at least I remember the lunch ladies wearing gloves and no flies buzzing around near my food. Not sure what I was asked to tip for because there is no service given and the pizza was very underwhelming. read more
