I came by this place on Monday, June 1st, 2020 and ordered the Mexican Specialty Pizza and the Chorizo pizza. I gotta say, they both had a very impressive taste. I called on a regular lunch hour and had my order taken down quickly. The price was reasonable. Especially, if you put into consideration the type and amount of toppings they add to the pizzas. ($20/large pizza, in case any one was wondering.) When I got there I was kindly greeted by the staff. Just a heads up, this is a CASH ONLY pizzeria! I made the mistake of not checking but luckily work nearby. Again, pizza tasted really good and had a nice kick! I would be very interested to see how it would taste if I had some Crema Salvadoreña (Central American Sour Cream) 'cause I felt like it would have completed the taste for both pizzas. I would definitely order from here again just to give that a try! Don't sleep on this place! read more

Giovanni's use to be bomb, back in the days when it was an Italian restaurant! Now it's an Italian & Mexican food, I don't see how those two foods go well together. This is the last time I ever step place in this restaurant: 1) it was so hot inside 2) the pizza came with a special ingredient ( HAIR) hopefully it was facial hair and not something else! 3) Not enough cheese and the quality of the dough wasn't good. Guess you get what you pay for, this restaurant is Cash only!!!! ***If I could give them zero stars I would**** read more

Local mom and pop shop run by the couple and their family. Small little spot always warm and welcoming. The pizza dough is made in house and you can def taste it. The torpedo sandwiches are my favorite here! You have to eat them inside or at the restaurant, if you take them to go the bread will lose its soft crunch. The pasta is fanatic. read more

When they say 20 minutes. They really mean 20 minutes so take your time. This place is really a solid 3 stars but I love mom and pop places and this one is run by a real Mexican pop. I ordered the spaghetti with meatballs but the meatballs are sliced so it should really be called meat slices. Overall, this place was a quick fix for my spaghetti craving. The total was $8.99 with tax, which I thought was pretty expensive for just that but it came with a side salad and a loaf of garlic bread. It wasn't amazing. Very Very basic flavors. It really tasted like something my mom could whip up in you guessed it 20 minutes but the portions are really big and the location is right by our new warehouse so I shall be back. The location is really jinky ..next to a cambio place so you know you're in santana. Most of my reviews are bias because I put into consideration the people who own the place too. I really want to this place to thrive but if you're looking for my favorite pasta spot like Mama D's, it's not this place. Enjoy! (pictures included) PS. I think the other guys here ordered the torpedo and they said it was okay too. LIke i said...really a 3 star joint :P read more

Found this spot on our way home. We ordered an X-large pizza. The pizza was yummy Taste perfectly home made. Our pizza took 20 minutes to make, It was a one man show. We got our sodas and chilled. The owner was sweet and courteous. Great little hole in the wall pizza joint that also served tortas, tacos, calzone, lasagna and a few other items. It is cash only - so make sure to have cash on hand. With the pizza, 3 bottles sodas, cheesecake w/ice cream = $30. Pretty cheap if compared to those other pizza places read more

Giovanni's is a small place and I wouldn't recommend you plan on dining in since they have like 4 tables at most. Either call in your order and have it delivered or drive over and pick it up. Today I ordered a medium calzone since I guess I must have been feeling extra hungry at lunch. Well it turns out their medium size was more than I could eat. I ate 1/3 of it and I know I was full even before I ate that much but it was so darn tasty I had to keep eating, lol. The dough was amazing, great taste and texture. The inside of was just as good too. I ordered a Hawaiian, nothing fancy but I really enjoyed it. The blend of the sauce and cheese made for a gooey mess but that's what napkins are for. read more

Hands down the best torpedoes (subs) around town. I normally get the rocko style. One ting to keep in mind its a cash only stop and yes they do service pizza's but there too, but the torpedoes are the money choice. Oh yea one more thing all the subs are warm up in a pizza gas oven which make them kick as@. Best thing to do is just go and order the first time in person also they mostly speak Spanish. read more

A great eatery with freshly made small & large cold and hot torpedo sandwiches, Greek salad, tortas, tacos, pizza, spaghetti, calzones, tiramisu, chocolate, and carrot cake. It takes them 10 minutes to make the freshly made torpedo sandwiches. and 20 minutes or more for pizza and spaghetti. I highly recommend the Mexican themed pizza and the tuna fish sandwich or pizza sub. !!!! IT IS BEST TO CALL IN ADVANCE IF YOU ARE IN A HURRY. You can dine in or take out. I love their homemade fruit based aguas (waters) and smoothies. You can order non-dairy smoothies also. You can get a scoop of icecream on a sugar or waffle cone or in a cup. They also post new items on their store front window. The owners and their children have a lovely temperament. read more

This is a great mom and pop place! There is definitely a family owned feel to it. I love that in a restaurant. I absolutely love pizza and this place hits the spot! The dough tastes fresh, They don't skimp on the toppings and the taste is consistent. Added benefit that it doesn't drip with grease like most places do. I like when I can place the same order at a restaurant and the quality never changes. I love Giovanni's Pizza! read more

Good place. Best mom and pop Italian shop close to my house and it delivers 15 dollars and up. I ordered a Hawaiine and jalapeños calzone.Cheesy goodness and the ham and pineapple were so yummy with that spice of jalapeños yum! Go check it out, read more

VERY nice staff! they didn't seem rude or annoyed by my question asking (I called and was just asking questions since I didn't know this place at all) The ingredients they use are VERY good and the quality of the pizza seems great for the price... BUT I had ONE issue that kept me from giving 5 stars... The crust on the bottom got a bit too baked/burnt. It didn't taste or look burnt whatsoever, but the bottom crust was just too hard, but the ingredients tasted very good.... they probably just messed up my one. I also ordered a banana milkshake... and they recommended a chocolate banana... and it was REALLY good and would recommend :) So I'm definitely going to be coming back to try the other stuff, and hopefullythe crust will be cooked better on my next pie ;) read more

Cash only But their torpedoes are bomb This place has been here for some time now. It is a local hole in the wall.

If you like Mexican and Mexican style Italian then this place is for you I would recommend trying the Cubano torpedo read more
