The pizza here is fantastic -- always flavorful, always consistent, and always something we look forward to. The spinners and breadsticks have great flavor too, though I've noticed a change in their size and thickness over the years. They used to be more substantial, similar to the classic thick breadsticks everyone loves from that other place :D, but lately they've been on the thinner, crispier side. Not a bad thing, just a noticeable shift. Regardless, we continue to enjoy our meals here. read more

The food is amazing the service is even better. Its feels so welcoming. We were lost, I called and the lady who answered the phone went outside to flag me down. (Google maps) took me elsewhere. Its 10/10. The pizza is soooo good. I love pizza and this definitely hit the spot. Btw -we are from California. Just visiting oregon read more

Great service, horrible pizza. We have heard good things about this pizza place for years and finally decided to stop in and grab some pizza on the way home from Bend . While the staff was very friendly, courteous, super helpful and overall service was great, we were very disappointed in the pizza. I've had better frozen pizzas for sure. Thought it would be better leftover and nope was even worse. I would not recommend as a great pizza place. Maybe a good place to stop and hang out for a bit for a driving break and for good ambience in the outside seating or even inside. But you need to temper your expectations on the pizza. They do have other menu items we did not try. We won't be back. read more

Great pizza. Love it. Prices listed in the phots are $20 less than the actual price. They need to update the menu to show actual prices. But it is the best pizza around. read more

Giovannis used to have the best breadsticks ever. Over the years they have slipped. Cuts in portions and quality ingredients are obvious. One thing I have learned from Gordon Ramsey is not to sacrifice quality, and the people will come! It's hard living in the canyon and I am more willing to drive to sublimity to get the good breadsticks... the original Giovanni's breadsticks, rather than the thing blan ones served now. I'm asking the owners to go back to big quality ingredients and we the community would be happy to pay more and eat there not often rather than once and a while because there is no other competition. Make it good, and they will come! You have been hanging on to the reputation of 20 years ago with just getting by food. Just because there isn't any competition in town doesn't mean it's good. Make it good and the community will support you! read more

Giovanni Mountain Pizza - Every bite was delicious!!!! - Pizza Near Me - Mill City, Oregon

En route to Sisters, OR and jumped off OR-22 in Mill City for a bite at Giovanni. It's a small, rustic place a few feet off the highway. We opted for a medium-sized Meat Lover's pizza, and were presented with a substantial pie loaded with copious amounts of meat and a ton of melted mozzarella on a pillow-y soft crust with just the right amount of chew. We also witnessed patrons at other tables feasting on ginormous calzones, as well as hand-dipped milkshakes and ice cream cones. This is a "must do" anytime you're traveling this route! read more

It's a pizzeria with a small-town feel. Friendly staff. Simple and humble atmosphere. It's a great spot to grab a bite to eat if you're on your way to Eastern Oregon. Definitely recommend! read more

This place was a complete embarrassment from the moment we walked in. Plastic-coated tablecloths tried their best to cling to some illusion of charm, but the real theme here is paranoia and hostility. The staff are under surveillance--three closed-circuit cameras aimed only at them. Not the entry, not the customers--just the employees. It's a bold visual choice that screams, "We don't trust our own people." That level of micromanagement is not just unprofessional, it's unsettling. But the real showstopper was the owner, who stormed over and publicly chastised my sister--loudly and rudely--for bringing in a water bottle. Not alcohol. Not food. Just a water bottle. It was humiliating and completely unnecessary. There is a way to run a business with boundaries and grace. This wasn't that. This was control and ego on full display. As for the food? Don't bother. A sad salad and a pizza that might as well have been frozen. It was overpriced, and underwhelming. We would have left immediately if we hadn't already paid. And that's the real shame--this place doesn't deserve your time, money, or appetite. Avoid it. There are plenty of places that treat customers (and staff) with basic dignity--and serve decent food to boot. The place next door has Philly Cheese Steak. Next time I'll try that place. read more

Best pizza in Oregon! The ingredients are super fresh and the dough is seasoned and super delish. I've been going there since 2016 on my way to and from the Valley. I highly recommend it. read more

Best pizza I've had in a while since moving to Oregon. Staff was young but very kind, felt like a nice small town regular for folks (the phone was ringing the entire time I was there, great sign) and so many people (like myself and my friends) were there post camping in Detroit Lake, a nice stop before getting back to the city read more

I waited over 40 minutes for a milkshake, and it was barely worth the wait. The pizza dough tasted like they forgot to add salt, And to top it off, the owner was rude to my mother. Not a place I'll be returning to soon. read more

Friendly atmosphere! Busy workers, delicious pizza! Always my favorite! Sometimes it takes forever but it's worth it!

Awesome cool vibe, super friendly and homey. The breadsticks absolutely lived up to the hype. The right mix of crispy and cheesy. I wanted to love the pizza, but it wasn't my favorite. It tasted fine, but I don't care for soft/bready pizza- so that's a preference. Also, there was so much cheese. Like chewing it was a big soft ball of melted cheese. If that's your jam, this is the place for you. I will go back and eat a truckload of breadsticks, though. :) read more

Tasty pizza, it is more on the rich side. Heavy dough with a secret recipe and cooked in an old fashion pizza oven. If you are in a rush, this isn't the stop for you! I have always preferred their sauce, personally. The reason I rate the restaurant low, even though I like the food is because of the price. It cost us nearly 70$ for a large pizza, a whole order of breadsticks, and a half order of breadsticks. The prices just keep going up, which I understand to some degree but here it feels a tad ridiculous. After the renovation it doesn't feel much cleaner either.Unless you are a huge breadstick fan, I'd recommend you save some money and get pizza in Stayton instead! It's cleaner in the kitchen there! read more

I love this place! The breadsticks were amazing and I got a salad that was fresh and crisp. We drive from Turner just for this place. Plus the beautiful drive. read more

Prices have gone through the roof while the quality and quantity have gone downhill substantially. This place is known for their breadsticks which used to be thick and hardy. Now they are super thin and barely there. That would be fine except the cost is about double what it used to be. $15 for 6 tiny breadsticks is pretty ridiculous. read more

The food was so yummy! I love that you can watch the cooks making the dough. Super friendly and fun service. Will be a regular customer!

My kids dad and I used to visit this place pretty frequently 10 years ago and always remembered it being really good. I had taken my boys and some friends exploring in the area and we were excited to stop there after so long from our last visit. our experience from the go was not great. First, my youngest son entered the restaurant while the rest of us were searching for my middle son's tee shirt. The restaurant staff told my youngest son to let us know we could not enter if my other son didn't have a shirt ... as we were looking for his shirt outside. We wouldn't have come in without proper clothing, but were treated as if we were going to try to come in and disrespect the place. Once we were in, we went to order. Two of the boys ordered spaghetti. One ordered a half order, the other a large. they came out the same ... small sizes though we were charged for the large size. The girl at the counter came over to the table to let us know also, that we owed $1 for the lightly sprinkled dried basil on my sons cheese pizza. We were exhausted and I didn't feel like making a deal of it, so I paid the dollar... but when I realized how much I (single mom) spent on 2 pizza's, 2 small spaghetti's, one order of bread sticks and 3 root beers, I decided to write this. I spent $111 for what we ordered, plus the $1 they came back to collect for the dried basil. so $112 for not a good experience and the spaghetti's were not good according to the kids. We will not be going back and are very disappointed as this used to be one of our favorite spots! read more

I haven't eat in here in a long time,after listening to the good comments about the meat balls sandwich I decided to drive 38 miles to try it,and got a small cheese pizza, being by myself for a week l have food and couple days,sandwich wasn't bad but the xtra charge for ordering a whole sandwich almost 4 bucks xtra and the pizza my bill was 51 dollars, pizza average nothing extraordinary,sandwich was good but I had to eat it with a fork because it came apart. I think Makenna rip me off,she was who took my order, got home and I see the added 6,66 bucks in tips the I didn't choose. I don't think to go orders should get a tip but is just me. I am sure I not coming back ,and no pepperoncini on the sandwich. read more

A very clean, family-friendly, pizza, pasta, and big sandwich joint. Their pizza is good for Oregon, and their pasta / lasagna / subs are fantastic. Entertaining atmosphere for the kids as they can watch the pizza chefs toss the dough while you wait. They also have a number of ice cream and beer options. I highly recommend the hot pastrami sub - delicious, and a great deal for the large size. read more

Hole in the wall- worn booths, checkered table cloths with plastic over them, few games/arcades. Small (Hawaiian/meat lovers) 2 sodas Breadsticks = $36 + tip PIzza's ETA to our table? She gave us an estimate of 30 mins. I thought the pizza was okay- nothing out of the norm. It was might expensive for what it was. The star of the show? The breadsticks! It was cheesy and bottom had a little crunch to it and not greasy. It literally a plate with 8 long sticks of bread and two containers of ranch. If you got a lucky and picked up a stick that was fatter- it was chewy and cheesy. The texture Kinda reminded me of the the Brazilian cheese breads they give out at Fogo de Chao. read more

Driven by this place a thousand time but ended up stopping today for lunch. I had a soup, breadstick, and salad lunch and it was so good! Minestrone soup was well done and tasted homemade, hand made breadsticks were awesome and the salad was just what I wanted. Fresh tomatoes and a bit of cheese. Lovely family style dining with great service! We will stop more often from now on! read more

This was a great hidden gem! We were so hungry after hiking and this was one of our closer options so we gave it a try. The staff was so friendly and quick. The pizza was satisfying. They even have a gluten free crust option which we opted for and liked. Definitely recommend as a post hiking lunch spot! read more

Loved it! I was pointed to this place by a friend at work, and one lazy afternoon, my girlfriend and I made the trip out there after a day of cruising around our beautiful Salem countryside. The place looks like a dive, and I've driven right by it multiple times. So I wasn't really sure if it was the right place when we stopped, but stop we did. Inside, the place is cute, but nothing spectacular. We were helped immediately and noticed that it's your standard pizzeria fare. Some side Italian dishes, like lasagna, spaghetti, stuff like that, were available, but we were there for the pizza. The first thing I ordered was six "spinners." They are dough, wrapped around Italian sausage and ricotta cheese. We also ordered a large with pepperoni and pineapple. Sadly, they do not offer refills. But for the price of a "bottomless" coke somewhere else, you can get a 32oz pitcher, with lots of replenishable ice. Also 64oz and half pitchers are available, all reasonably priced. I noticed immediately that their dough was rolled out by hand and then tossed. Fabulous! We got the spinners and...oh my word, they were to die for. I thought they'd be smallish, but they were huge. Hot and steamy, with plenty of garlic, the sausage was tangy and the ricotta was in just the right amount, not overwhelming, but certainly not skimpy. I had to stop at two, because by this point, I was dying to try the pizza. I was not disappointed. The surface was covered in a lake of cheese, like I've never seen before on a pizza (that I haven't ordered extra extra cheese on). The crust was chewy and very tasty, the sauce was delicious, and the toppings, outside of the cheese, were plentiful and very fresh. I fell in love with this place, and rank it right up there with one my favourite pizza joints in the country. And what with pizza being my favourite food ever, I've been to my fair share of pizza joints. Definitely worth the trip...and the extra cost. Yes, sadly, this was a fairly expensive pizza, with no coupon deals. But you absolutely get what you pay for, and I did not begrudge one single damn cent I spent here. read more

Yummy pizza and calzones! Order ahead or stop in and eat there but you are in for a great experience and delicious food!

Delicious pizza! The dough tasted so fresh. Gives the classic pizza parlor vibes. I got the small calzone but it was huge! Could only finish half myself. read more

Omg!!!! Only the very best pizza!!!! Reminds me of the pizza we had downtown Manhattan in New York last year. It was freezing cold outside and we waited outside in line 1 hour and 6 minutes. I told my son "this better be great pizza! we've been in line a long time!." Let me tell you, Giovannis reminds me of that pizza! And there spinners are to die for. Best pizza!! Very cozy inside. Great customer service too. 7/19/2020 read more

I paid $29. Very high priced. They do not wear masks. No one wears gloves. Workers touch their faces, pick their noses, rub teeth with fingers without washing their hands afterward. They forgot part of my order so I had to drive all the way back for it but got a scaled down version instead. I got sick on their food which was spoiled. The staff is very rude. They make your call the order in before going there but you have too call several times to get through and I know they were Gooding off because I was in my vehicle right in front with no other vehicles around. The place is filthy. All they care about is money, they do NOT care about the customer. I give this nasty dive a double thumbs down. read more

Attention all Paddlers and Campers if you are hungry and craving a killer pizza this is the spot. Stop looking at the other, what 7 reviews for restaurants in the area. This is where you will Not be disappointed. We ordered the Meat Lovers and Fat Roman Pizza. On the Roman we switched out the fresh beef for their spicy sausage and BAM Awesomeness took place! We ordered 2 dinner salads, since we needed some veggies to take away some of the guilt. I will pass next time on the Dinner Salad, because for $5 each for that tiny little plate, I could have bought a giant bag of salad at the store. They were fresh and yummy just too much for the amount. Now on to the pizzas. My 15 year old who ordered the Meat livers with his sister wanted to try one of our slices with everything on it. That was a mistake! He ate about a 1/3 of ours and only 1 slice of the meat lover. That is how good it was. The meat lovers was amazing and loaded with topings. The crust is freshly made. Incredibly fluffy and thick. At the end I noticed a sign that says GLUTEN FREE CRUST AVAILABLE! ok, I promise I didn't see that till the end otherwise my conscience would have made me order it with that. But I can't imagine it being anywhere close to the delectable pizza we ate tonight. Hope you enjoy the pictures. I had to take them of my family enjoying it. Servers were super friendly and the place was spotless. You can tell they have pride in their establishment, and that is one place you WANT to see pride. It was busy and we were glad we called in our order on our way from our Detroit Campground. Totally worth the drive! Hands down the best pizza outside of our side of town in Estacada (there our favorite is The Hitching Post). Don't even try the nasty place in Detroit, we did that last time and regretted it. See my review for the BBQ & Pizza place in Detroit. read more

We stopped for a quick bite, and to get off the road a bit. Definitely chose the right place, the food here was absolutely delicious and hit the spot. We were so hungry! The Lasagna was meaty & cheesy, just delicious. It came with buttery garlic bread and a fresh, crispy simple little salad with homemade ranch dressing. Perfect. So good we ordered an extra. It is a charming family run place with indoor and outdoor (great for the pooch) seating. They were quite busy, people enjoying pizzas and other wonderful looking sandwiches, pasta & salads. Service was friendly & welcoming. Will stop by any time we are in the area to try the pastrami sandwich and their pizza. Highly recommend! read more
