We heard this was a great place to get pizza and other Italian food in Mammoth Lakes. Indeed there was a line waiting outside for them to open for dinner service. We ordered a large pizza with sausage, Canadian bacon, mushrooms, pineapple, and jalapeños. My half had the pineapple. Initially it looked good but it was soggy and the crust was limp and poorly cooked. I found out they use an oven with a conveyor rack. Its possible the cook slopped the pineapple right out of the can with a bunch of juice. Anyway, we were hungry from a long day of traveling and ate it. We pointed this out to our server who's only suggestion was "maybe next time ask for a well done pizza, we can cook it longer, we can do that". So 2 stars for the beer as it was delicious, but would have been 3 if it didn't take 10 minutes to get. read more

Service was great.. they are just doing way too much with all the Ingredients on the bbq chicken pizza.. doing way too much

Came into today looking for some good pizza and salad. We were seated quickly and waited on quickly. Waitress was pretty attentive and she was ok with allowing us to split our bill in 3's. We were a party of 6. The food was pretty tasty only complaint about food was the chicken on the salad, tasted pretty processed. Also we ordered a large salad and were given 2 small dressings and the other that we asked for was $2 each for a very small amount maybe 1.0 oz. Anyhow my main complaint is when given our checks we were not told that the tip had already been added, which was on the receipt however we ended up double tipping until we asked for the receipt back. The waitress seemed pretty bothered. LOOK AT YOUR RECEIPT TO MAKE SURE YOUR NOT DOUBLE TIPPING. read more

We stumbled into this place after a very beautiful ride down from South Lake Tahoe, we were hungry and pretty tired. Our hosts at our Airbnb left a QR code near the front door with all of their "Favorite Local Spots". Giovanni's was #1 on their list. The first thing that truly stands out from everything else was the friendliness and kindness our server displayed. What a lovely woman! I believe her name was Wendy. She was not only super cool to us, but each table she attended to. We had a cocktail to start, then I had Shrimp Scampi with the minestrone soup, my husband had the Salmon with the Caesar salad. Everything was STELLAR. It was a very modest and comfortable vibe in the restaurant and they were in the Vons market mall, nothing fancy, however the food was delicious and the flavors really sang. Great job Giovanni's!!! read more

Friendly staff. Great pizza, salad, and garlic bread. Cute place to visit, talk about views

Unfortunately, they were understaffed and service was polite but very slow. We drove up from Bishop for Italian Food. The Eggplant Parm was over cooked and charred. We weren't able to explain this to the server for another 30 minutes as before mentioned they only had one server. taste way Better when you cook it yourself. read more

Worth the wait. awesome food big restaurant awesome waitress five she remembered everyone's drinks from that dark red cups.

While visiting mammoth it's a little hard to find vegan food if you're here for more than two days... but Giovanni was so great they have vegan cheese for there pizzas. The minestrone soup was chunky but delicious. And the crumbles spicy tofu was almost like you had sausage on the pizza. Super delicious place with great service. read more

Long line of waiting on Saturday but hostess worked hard and got us a party of 3 in within 10 minutes. Pizza and pasta keep flying out of the kitchen. Nice place to wait inside. Cozy dining room, with plenty of room and nice deco. Waiters and waitresses work hard to keep them clean and pleasant, Ask for water and brought out quickly. Ordered truffle and porcini mushroom ravioli, lemon caper salmon, all come with either Ceasar salad or minestrone soup. Extensive antipasto and pasta and pizza and beer, wine and beverages menu Ambience is not noisy. Good food, fair price, quick seating, nice and clean dining room , extensive menu for every ages, plenty of parking, friendly service. What else do you ask for. Recommended read more

Great pizza place. We had a pretty AirBNB so we didn't stay to eat but takeout was easy and on time. We order four different pizzas and wings. All were very tasty!! The sauce was delicious on the pizza and the wings were cooked perfect paired with good restaurant ranch. read more

Giovanni's is a really nice family friendly restaurant! There are plenty of pizza and pasta options to choose from. We tried the oriental pizza and it was pretty good; very flavorful and having shrimp on pizza was so unique and I liked it a lot. The pasta we tried was the Alfredo, it was nice and creamy but very very simple and the portion was not that big. However, it did come with garlic bread, soup, and salad which made it worth it. Service was good too! Overall it's a good place to stop by in mammoth and the parking is nice because it's not as crowded as mammoth village. read more

Our favorite pizza in Mammoth! Good quality dough and toppings. Piping hot and delicious!

We ordered some takeout pizza from here while visiting Mammoth. Tried some of their Thai Tofu pizza as an experiment. Turned out great. The service was swift, and people were friendly. Will definitely return. This place can get busy, so timing your dine in or takeout orders in advance will help. There's plenty of parking right in front, and it did feel like this would be a fun place to watch a game, a rather sports-themed ambiance inside. read more

Pretty good for Mammoth. Pizza is extremely heavy and greasy but tasty. They cook the crust well done but due to the heavy cheese snd toppings, it still ends up a bit floppy and pretty sloppy in the sense that toppings will slide off. Antipasto Italiana salad is fantastic and definitely worth getting! read more

Ordered a meatball pizza and antipasto salad to go and both were delicious! Meatballs were very tasty, crust was perfect. The salad was fresh and crispy, and full of cheese, meat and other goodies. We really enjoyed our dinner. read more

My son is crazy about Chicken Parmigiana. So, needless to say, I have seen many Chickens Parmigiana dishes during the past many years. And this one is near the top if not the top. My son is doing a job on it and he wouldn't let me have any. But the way he is eating it is an indication. We asked for delivery and it was here right on time. So I haven't seen the actual store yet. Then here is my wife. She orders a Veggie Pizza. Most restaurants don't know how to make a veggie pizza. Generally the veggies are raw and though. But not this one according to my wife. I wished I could have a slice, but to my high weight, 205, I better not. So, I am sitting here watching college football games (Ohio State won), eating an Orange, while my son is devouring CP and my wife is having wine and pizza. Oh, man. read more

This was a pleasant surprise. Pizza in this town can be crazy expensive and not very good in this town. We came here for lunch. I had the pizza special and my BF ordered the meatball sandwich lunch. The pizza was filling and really tasty, with a flavorful pizza sauce. The meatball sandwich was just, "eh". Plentiful, but more like a meatloaf than meatball. The salads were fresh and I received the thicket blue cheese dressing ever! There was so much food it actually became dinner! That is a great deal considering we spent over $80 the other night for dinner (at another restaurant). To note, the food is more standard fare. We were hoping to find cioppino somewhere, but no luck. Spaghetti, lasagna, pizza and the like, but pretty good nonetheless. As for service, they could be more welcoming and friendly, but the food came quickly and the orders we got what we wanted. read more

Fantastic, friendly service and delicious pizza! I ate there last night and the bar lounge was packed so I ate in the main dining area which was 75% full. I got lucky and was seated by the front windows and while drinking my Amber beer, was treated to majestic Alpenglow on the mountain range beyond! SWEET! :0) My pizza came out pretty quick considering how busy they were. They had tons of friendly staff which made the entire evening delightful! I ordered regular crust with pesto sauce, artichoke, sausage, mushroom and garlic! YUMMY!!! I asked for it to be cooked well done but not burnt, it was baked to perfection and the flavor was SUPER DELISH! I was so hungry after hiking all day and it was so delish, I almost ate an entire Medium pizza! Added on a Heff on tap and it wrapped up a fantastic day! :0) Keep up the great, friendly and fast service! Thank You so much for the delicious pizza and brews on tap! Can't wait to return! :0) read more

Labor Day craziness! We walked in last night and the place was packed. We found a table in the bar. The gentleman greeted us promptly with menus and silverware. We had the anti pasta salad and split a masterpiece pizza. Both were fantastic. The food came out in a timely manner considering how busy they were. Very impressive! I can't eat pizza without ranch and their ranch is tasty as well. I grew up going to Giovanni's and the interior hasn't changed much since I was little. People definitely go for the food and the Mom and Pop style restaurant. read more

We were up in Mammoth for a few days with family and decided to visit Giovanni's as we heard lots of great things via reviews. This place did not disappoint. Everything we got was delicious from the sausage and pepperoni pizza to the garlic bread to the Caesar salad.. the cheese pull on the pizza was magnificent. I suggest you get there right when they open at five, they get extremely busy we will definitely visit again the next time we're in town. read more

Always a great place for dinner. Pizzas and antipasto Salad are winners! Service is hit or miss depending on who you get...but don't let that stop you from going there. read more

This place was ok and friendly. It wasn't spectacular food so I was surprised by the rating. The scampi was sort of bland and the garlic bread lacked pizzazz. My wife enjoyed the pizza so I am thinking this is not really and I talk a place but a pizza place. The kids are well and filled their bellies so that is important when I rate them. I should have had pizza. read more

Do yourself a favor and eat in. The food is so much better than taking it to go. I've done both. I had my birthday dinner there and loved it. The service was great and so was the food. Ambiance is what you'd expect of a pizzeria. They have a sports bar section and a separate restaurant section. Minestrone soup was delicious as well as the Greek salad and Hawaiian pizza. Enjoy! read more

I stopped into this pizza place while vacationing in mammoth with family. We had kids with us so we wanted pizza to satisfy the kids but was of a high enough quality that the adults would like it too. The restaurant is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking so there is no issues there. The restaurant itself has enough seating, but like most restaurants in mammoth you feel a little cramped when you are seated. We ordered two basic pepperoni and sausage pizzas. The topping portions were generous, the cheese tasted good, and the crust was just right. The pricing was also fair considering mammoth is a tourist spot where everything is a little more expensive. With that said, because it's not in the Village it's better priced then the locations there. The service was also fast and pleasant. I would probably make this my go to pizza place in mammoth and reccomend it to anyone! read more

The pasta tasted like pasta you get from a school cafeteria as if the pasta has been cooked and kept heated. The pasta sauce felt like it came straight from a bottle to the plate. We would've been better off going to Ralph's next door, picking up marinara sauce and a box of spaghetti to make at our hotel. Our kids didn't eat it but they were content with the garlic bread that came with the pasta dishes. They offer penne and spaghetti as their two spaghetti options. The pizza was the best thing on the menu if you like thick crust -- it's very floofy. I personally like this and I thought this was great! I would come back for their pizza. I got the shrimp scampi and it was yummy. You can't go wrong with this and the noodles were well done. I recommend this dish if you're craving some buttery garlic shrimp. Dip the garlic bread that comes with the dish in here and you're golden. Parking is easy since it's shared in the plaza. The inside was nice, cozy and they sat us right away. read more

Usually our go to place to eat for pizza in mammoth. My husband and I have dined in and have taken to go orders a few times but this previous visit we had a bigger party. It's nice that they accommodate big groups. We got to explore more of the entree items. The truffle mushroom ravioli was filled with flavor, bonus points for being able to choose the sauce for it too. Pesto will always be my number one. The pizzas came out hot. Salads and soups were pretty average. Service started great but as the dinner crowd started rushing in, they missed out on the most important part of the meal... the garlic bread. So when I pointed it out they just bunched it all in some foil and rushed us out... read more

I've been going here for about 25 years. Always good food. You have a choice of sitting in the restaurant area or they have a bar area to the right side, which has lots of TVs above. read more

We have been coming to Mammoth for years . We always order pizza from them it's always delicious. We were bummed they no longer deliver but oh well we drove over and got our pizzas . They made one wrong and luckily we checked before we left with it they remade it . The Gios pizza is my favorite. I am gf now so this year I didn't have pizza I see they offer gf crust but it's not made in house so I knew it would be the think cracker type . Everyone else loved their pizza last night ! read more

With all the mixed reviews, I wasn't sure what kind of experience we'd have. I'm happy to say everything we ordered turned out to be better than we expected. My husband's small 'Masterpiece' pizza had a soggy bottom which wasn't ideal, but the toppings were flavorful and fresh. My vegetarian lasagna was tasty and I loved that it had an array of veggies in it (artichoke, spinach, carrot, onion). We also enjoyed two small salads; a dinner salad which came with my meal and a greek salad. The greek salad was a hit and came with a homemade greek dressing. The dinner salad though good was more on the simpler side. Will definitely keep this restaurant in our rotation when back in the area. read more

Almost ate here three days in a row when nearby Noodle-Ly ran out of noodles but the two previous days were enough to establish Giovanni's as a solid choice. Recommended by a friend and Yelp, we arrived too early and had to kill over 30 minutes before they opened for dinner at 5pm. A gathering of people and groups made us realize this place attracts locals and tourists alike. With some other guys we established an orderly line and I made sure the guy parked next to us who was there first got in first. His party ended up being for 15 people! No matter, the setting is designed for accommodation and had plenty of tables. I'd like to try the bar lounge next time. Service was quick enough and we had water quickly. Upon ordering the server suggested getting a medium pizza instead of the large because we also had a large Greek Salad. We appreciated that when the food arrived, salad first. Delicious Greek dressing and roasted red pepper blended well with red onions, feta, and kalamata olives. The pizza arrived next and I realized the house style is slightly larger toppings than you'd find just about everywhere else. For instance, the artichoke hearts could have been quartered and still be substantial. I ate the leftover slices back at the condo. The crust is light and doesn't seem to burn. Next day we thought pasta and pizza would be great after we hiked. This time we rolled in around 7:30pm and were sat quickly. They're steady here and the middle dining area eventually got full. This time we got the thin crust option and I preferred it fresh and cold the next day. For pasta I selected Penne (other choices were spaghetti and fettuccine) with Bolognese sauce and meatballs. She got Ravioli filled with truffles and Porcini mushrooms, for the sauce cream with steamed vegetables seemed better than pesto. My Caesar Salad was great but much too much croutons, lol. Her Minestrone was chunky chunks of carrots (her favorite) and beans, etc. Also chunky cut were the veggies in her sauce, served on the side. My pasta was a little overcooked and the sauce a tad too spicy but those meatballs! Tender, moist, and alive with fresh basil and parsley. Mmmmmm Overall, a great restaurant with friendly service and a cure for comfort food cravings. read more
