I grew up with Giovanni's Pizza and the Sausage is always the Best! Owners have changed over years but recipe is same great cheesy , crisp crust and great Sausage!! A+ 5 read more

We ordered a pepperoni pizza and some cheese bread. The pizza had the toppings under the cheese and the cheese was on the well done side - definitely delicious. The cheese bread was served with a side of butter and a side of pizza sauce - I preferred the sauce, my husband preferred the butter. Kids liked it plain. We would definitely order it again. read more

A hidden gem in South Lorain! The locals know that Ohio knows how to bake their pies. Sometimes we may be in a rush to get the food ready quickly and delicious. Clean spot quick pick up. Cash only! This spot is among many others. Their years in business tells you a lot once you try them. read more

This place was always my favorite Pizza place for over 40 years. They made the pizza that all others fell short of. That is no longer the case. They no longer use the same pizza crust and it's disgusting. More expensive than it used to be and far lower quality than it used to be. I am deeply saddened that they let this happen. I doubt I will ever buy another one with what they have done to their pizza dough. read more

Haven't been back home in a very long time. Awesome place and very good pie. Remember it like it was yesterday. read more

The menu boasts an impressive selection of pizzas, each with a unique twist. It was an absolute delight - thin, crispy crust, a perfect blend of tomatoes and mozzarella, and a sprinkle of basil that transported me straight to Napoli. read more

This pizza went from one of the best, to the absolute WORST. Giovanni pizza was known for putting cheese over the toppings. It had a distinct taste. I was so disappointed. The crust on the top and bottom was hard. It was actually burnt underneath. It seemed like they had this pizza laying around and threw toppings on it and baked it again.... read more

Cash only. Good people. Great pizza. Generous toppings. Cash only. Good people. Great pizza.

Small place with AMAZING pizza and calzones. Unfortunately they only offer carry out, so minus one star. Otherwise a total five star. Having a full restaurant to sit down would be fantastic! read more

It depends on what you like in your pizza. If you like cheese, you'll love Giovanni's! 2 sizes, 11" and 13" The toppings were fresh and tasty... cheese was overwhelming... the sauce was mild but "fit" the pizza... my only draw back was the crust, which didn't hit the spot. It's my fiancé's favorite pizza in Lorain... I'm still "to be determined"! read more

Best pizza in Lorain county family run great deals recommend deluxe pizza take out only

We stopped last Friday after our original plan fell through. We needed to pick up some pizza for our family game night and Giovanni's was our next option. We just got a cheese, pepperoni and a meat lovers. They definitely aren't shy with the cheese which we all absolutely loved and I also love how they put the cheese on top of all the toppings to hold them in so you don't lose any of that deliciousness. They are pretty pricey but you do get what you pay for. Good quality and prime ingredients. Will definitely come back! read more

I loved Giovanni's pizza!! When I picked up the pizza the lady was really nice and on the phone as well. Cute little corner pizza place.

Delicious Italian pizza ran by a local policeman. Keep on giving pizza toppings are delicious they serve the basic pizza no additional things like calzones or Stromboli's but the place is located in the south side of town which has more of a Hispanic flavor but the pizza is the Lish. This is a takeout pizza delivery joint but they also have some sit down wrong. Just to let you know it's cash only here no credit cards make sure to get money from an ATM and the gas station across the street. read more

I love Giovanni's! Their pizza is always amazing. From the amount of toppings to the generous amount of cheese that automatically comes on your pie, Giovanni's is pure pizza perfection!! read more

I have always considered myself a serious pizza aficionado..... Giovanni's has had a special place in my heart holding a spot in the top 3 pies that I've ever had. But I haven't been in the area to pop back in for about 15 years and almost wondered if my memory of the incredible pizza was maybe romanticized in my mind but let me just tell you my memory served me well! I grew up on this pizza and after so many years away, the quality, consistency and perfection has not faded at all. We picked up a mushroom and sausage pre-baked pie so we could finish it off at home after our 2 1/2 hour drive. Packaging was perfect for our needs, pie was heavy as can be so we knew it wouldn't disappoint. Perfectly crispy crust, toppings were piled high as always and put to bed under a beautiful layer of cheese...... all this was married in with garlic buttery goodness........You know it's good when they only take cash, don't deliver yet still stay packed and slinging pies all day for almost 70 years! read more

I don't know what all the hype is about! After looking at the reviews this was a must for me. I had hi expectations and let's just say I was very disappointed. I would compare this pizza to something similar to Little Cesar's or Georgios Pizza. Dough taste like Betty Crocker just add water mix, toppings were scarce, and the salad was as basic as could be. The place was clean and staff was friendly but the pizza is VERY VERY BASIC!!! THIS IS NO WHERE NEAR THE BEST PIZZA IN LORAIN COUNTY OR NEAR BY.... very basic menu also read more

First off the pizza and the picture is not one of theirs unless they've recently changed their Pizza Style second the place has been going downhill for a couple years now I heard a new owner took over now the sauce doesn't taste the same across doesn't taste the same and they use way less cheese very disappointed in the quality of Giovanni's anymore used to be a staple of Lorain and now it's just becoming no good Giovanni's was known for its large amount of cheese on its pizzas and they've cut that down and made the sauce much sweeter completely disappointed don't really recommend any more read more

My favorite pizza in Lorain, OH. Great sauce, lots of cheese, plenty of selected toppings . Very filling. You just don't want to stop eating but you better - lots of carbs. I'd chose this anytime over Yala's (very greasy) and Selent'is (not as tasty). I haven't tried Campana's because they are just too expensive. Giovanni's pizza is a terrific value. Great pizza at a low price. My only complaint is that they are "cash only" which can make them inconvenient. I guess they do such a great amount of business that it isn't necessary to make it more convenient to purchase or to provide delivery. read more

Love this place. Been eating here for many years. Lots of toppings and no need to order extra cheese. read more

Highly disappointed in my pizza today. Travel all the way from Amherst /Vermilion area to pick up burnt pizza!! I called them and all they could do is give me $6 off on the next pizza. Seriously, I should of been given 2 free pizzas since I purchased 2 large pizzas for $24.50 not to mention the gas. Next time I will go to Eleseo's!!! read more

If I could put 0 stars, I would. I called an hour ahead, ordered, and was told my total was $16. I thought it was cheap, so before I went all the way to lorain, I called again to verify. Same price. I get there, and I'm told my bill is double that, and an additional pizza is added! The man told me take everything or take nothing. I'm not taking/buying something that I didn't order sir... I was really looking forward to trying this place, I hear good things. But they need to work on managment. read more

Most amazing pizza I've EVER had!!! We get it every time we are visiting our Ohio family. Addicting!

I would drive far and wide for Giovanni's pizza (and I have!)! It is that good! Never a need to ask for extra cheese! Toppings galore! Freshly made or pre-bake for home - I have never been disappointed! read more

Having never been here, we went off the Yelp rating. The place is not much to look at and it's only takeout. We ordered a lg plain pie and asked what was on the deluxe. The lady said a lot of what one would expect to hear and then hit me with the Banana Peepers!! When we got to the car we figured we would take a peek, then a bite...... The deluxe never made it out of the parking lot. Lol. Would recommend. read more

I've always judged this place from the outside but finally threw the book cover out and gave it a try and I'm glad I did. Giovanni's has been writing chapters since 1956 and I don't expect them to write their last page anytime soon. I've always heard people talk about it around the Lorain county area and now I finally tried it and here's my review. I ordered a pizza with pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms and jalapeños. All of the toppings were very good and tasted like premium ingredients. I especially loved the cheese. It was thick and stretchy and unlike a lot of places you really don't need to order extra cheese because they're not as stingy. I loved the construction of the pizza. They put a foundation of sauce, followed by pepperoni, sausage and mushrooms and then the cheese over top. I love this because it keeps all of your ingredients in tact melted under a heaven of cheese. The jalapeños were then placed on top. I loved the sauce and the ingredients and they way I was greeted and treated throughout my transaction. The only reason for my 1 star deduction is for the crust. A pizza's crust is where a lot of people have different preferences. I like either a really crispy crust or really doughy depending on my mood. Giovanni's crust was more of an in between with a chewy consistency. It's definitely not a deal breaker for me though because the rest impressed. I will definitely be back. read more

We were just in town for a college visit and we found out about Giovanni's and saw how good looking the food was in some photos.

Absolutely recommend read more

Not the best lately, I've had it a few times giving it a chance in the new building.... less cheese less sauce and less flavor....I'll try again because it was one of my favorites. Sadly I'm not sure anymore..... read more

My favorite pizza place on the planet. Of course I'm biased because I grew up down the street, but it fits all my categories for good pizza. The crust is firm, you're not getting mushy, fall apart pizza. They don't skimp on the cheese. The mass of mozzarella forms a protective cheese helmet for your toppings. And that area where the cheese, grease, and crust all meet, and get a little crispy, is pure heaven. The sauce is nice without being overbearing. But MOST importantly, not only does it taste great cold, but it reheats nicely in the oven OR microwave. Something that can't be said for a lot of pizzas. Give the ladies a wink and a smile. Once you become a regular, you're family. read more

Great pizza when fresh, not so much when breading it up. Uber cheese and toppings. Best in South lorain.

Hands down, the best pizza ever. We have been ordering this pizza for 30+ years. If you love thick crust and lots of cheese this is your place. The pizza normally has a ton of cheese, so if you order extra cheese it may be too much. We have family from out of state and every time they visit Giovanni's is a must. You won't be disappointed. read more

This is a small shop and is take out only. Be sure to drive with a partner because it's not on the best side of town. This pizza is super cheesy in a good way of course! A large pie will run you $13 and the toppings are plentiful! read more
