Great pizza place just outside of Parksville. They do a Neapolitan style pizza when thin base…read morewithout it being soggy. Lots of customers while we were there on a weekday afternoon. They do half baked pizzas to go as well so you can finish up when you get home. We got 2 large pizzas. Can't remember the cost but total came to over $50. Their "regular" pizzas are pricey for what they are. Pepperoni and cheese are priced the same or v similar to something more exotic w truffle oil. There are a few tables inside, pretty no frills and 2 tables outside. I'd go back again for some quality pizza when you are in or around Parksville.

Similar to gas station sushi. Something anyone with a brain interacting with taste buds wouldn't do. I also didn't have internet. The connection was spotty so I couldn't check the reviews. Throwing caution into the wind, I went for it. What a surprise! The pizza was incredible. Apparently their pizzas sometime sell out according to some local reviews. I can certainly see why! So good, I got one to go. A hole in the wall location in the middle of nowhere along the Island Highway, Small spot seating maybe 10 inside along with a picnic table outside for some additional seating. Friendly service. More take away than dine in. This may be one of the best pizzas I've had. See my pics. They don't skimp on the toppings. Bonus: they have a liquor license. Recommended

Great pizza choice in Parksville. Walking in I was greeted…read moreimmediately by the staff with great attitude and enthusiasm. I realized right away they have a lot of choices and interesting toppings. You can get a whole pizza or order by the slice. I couldn't choose a single pizza so I ordered two different slices. They gave a couple tables outside to enjoy the elements but also a table and counter seating area inside if you want to be inside. You can watch them making pizza; from stretching the dough, saucing, topping to cooking. So much fun to watch. Taste is AWESOME!! I truly loved the pizza. The toppings, perfect amount of sauce and great crust. The crust is the secret to me. Great tasting, nice crunch and just a slight sweet taste. I suggest trying this place out if looking for a pizza night.

This place is awesome! It's small and BUSY! There's good reason for the latter. The pizzas are…read moreunique with fresh, high-quality ingredients and house-made dough. They sell both by the slice and whole pie. From what I observed, you can create your own whole pizza in person by selecting various slices available, which is a great option because they all look delicious. We ordered a whole Italian Bomb and were not disappointed. It was one of the best pizzas we've ever eaten, and the price was very reasonable. If you're in the area, check this place out. As I mentioned, it's very busy, so your best option for getting a whole pizza before they run out of dough for the day is to order a few hours early and schedule a time for pickup.

I love pizza and this is the best I have ever found. Strangely it took me over a year to try it since moving here.. it was a nice suprise. There is room to eat inside or out. Decor is old 50s drive in burger joint ish? Service is very friendly all times I have been there. It is two restaurants in one I would like to try grannys chicken and some other things from the massive menu but if I am there I can only think about that pizza!

Because it was a Tuesday, we took advantage of the pizza deal. 2 med for $35. When we arrived the pizza guy forgot to put our pizza in the oven. But he was very apologetic and offered free 2 cans of pop. The pizzas were super delicious. The crust was nice and crispy. Lots of flavor and they were very generous on the cheese. This is the closest pizza place near us. Parking is available on the street for free. We also love the pizza lady's shirt : "Your dad is my Cardio"

We've had lunch at Cuckoo's once before so we knew pretty much what we were getting ourselves into…read more It's decorated in quite a traditional manner, and currently set up for Christmas. The floors look to be original hardwood, and there are lots of beams and logs to see. I personally love the old style look, but it might not be to everyone taste. The service is quite good, our server especially, although it did seem like one individual was more interested in polishing glasses and not running food or bussing tables. He was a little passive aggressive with another staff member when he did run a couple of plates, came back and said "see that wasn't that hard." Not a good look. The food was quite good, although we felt, this time like the last, it was a little on the expensive side. It is quite a tourist mecca just outside of Parksville so that's likely part of the reason. It's also quite busy so clearly people are willing to pony up. We had the soup of the days Chantrelle mushroom soup. Evidently those mushroom are very plentiful in the area this time of year. It was quite good, creamy for sure, but we would have liked some more noticeable bits of mushroom. We also shared a Caprese salad which needed more balsamic and a little salt. The capers were a nice add. We finished with Margherita pizza which was nicely cooked and finished with fresh basil. Can't believe I am saying this, but there was too much cheese on it and maybe a little shy on the tomato sauce. Peroni beer on tap is a total winner for me. Have been twice, might go again, but likely not.

The quality of ingredients makes such a huge difference in contrast to your average big chain pizza places. The taste/flavour is anything but simple. I can't remember the name, but we had a meat lover type pizza...best pizza I've had yet. Writing this, I wish I had a slice right now! We had a variety of sauces, although im always partial to a jalapeno ranch. It definitely was a nice way to mix up flavours and to dip the crusts in. All the sauces were yummy. Can't wait to have it again.

Giovanni's is split into two distinct restaurants: fine Italian cuisine in the main restaurant area…read moreand a lounge side catering to pizza enthusiasts, like me. What the lounge may lack in outward beauty, that is fully made up for (and then some) with its main course. Done in what I call "Greek Style", the pizza is baked in a pan and has a cupped edge crust that the ingredients come out to meet, with the bulk of the cheese spread on top. Additionally, Giovanni's has developed a wonderful sauce, which is not too sweet. Fresh ingredients and lots of them as well. When brought to your table by Tracey or one of the other wonderful staff, it is a thing of golden beauty. I never order anything less than a large (see photo) because I always want to take some home. Truly one of the top pies on the island. Enjoy!
