We arrived fifteen minutes early and our table was waiting for us. The restaurant was crowed, we had NO wait. The menu was in two parts, the regular menu and a separate specials menu. We started with beverages and a Calamari appetizer which came with either traditional marinara sauce or a delicious balsamic glaze sauce. For the main course, My grown kids had Chicken Parm in a vodka sauce. The portion sizes were huge. They loved it in the restaurant and again the next day. My wife devoured zuppa di pesce, seafood over linguini. I ordered from the specials menu, and had the Veal Chop Tuscany with wild mushrooms and potatoes. It was HUGE. Most patrons left with doggie bags and we were no exceptions. We will be back. (On site parking available)

I first started coming here well over a decade ago, and I recently stopped in again and ordered the Chef's Special pizza. It was just as good as it was back then. I later found out why. The same guy who made my pizza years ago is still there making it today. Same people, same skills, same results. I also realized something I somehow never noticed before. They use a real wood-fired oven. Once you see it, everything about the pizza makes sense, especially the crust and flavor. The original owners are still involved, which explains the consistency. That kind of continuity is rare and it shows. They also have a bar with alcohol that you can sit at, which is a nice bonus and not something you find at every mom and pop pizza place. It's in a small strip mall and easy to overlook, but it's absolutely worth seeking out. If you care about quality and places that stay true to what they do best, this is one of them.

My usual order consists of Sausage, Green Peppers, and Mushrooms. I also order Bacon and Black Olive Pizza. While visiting friends they order from here too.. I've tried their Margarita Pizza, Plain Pizza, and Vegetable Pizza too.. Every time I have ordered from here the pizza is cooked perfectly and the under crust is golden brown. The only time it was a little iffy, it was when we ordered the Vegetable Pizza. The crust got a little soggy which made it hard to eat. Gianna's offers Gluten Free pizza. They don't skimp on toppings. Their sauce is good. Besides pizza Gianna's offers Hot and Cold Subs, a variety of Salads, Entrees, Pasta Dishes, Burgers, Wraps, Soup and more. There is also a Kids Menu for 10 and under. At Gianna's you can dine in or take out. There's plenty of free parking in their parking lot in the back. They have some handicapped parking. This is a strip mall with quite a few restaurants so there is some walking involved to get there. The ambience is casual, relaxed and welcoming. They do offer local delivery. If you happen to be further away, you can use DoorDash or Uber Eats, or other delivery

We ordered takeout which was ready on-time with a cheerful and prompt checkout: * Chicken Parmigiana: Breaded chicken breast with mozzarella cheese in a light red sauce with Ziti and Salad. * Chicken Piccata: Chicken breast in lemon wine butter sauce with Penne and Salad. You can select your preferred pasta and salad dressing with these dishes. The Chicken Piccata was very tasty, light and lemony. The chicken was very tender. It was better than the Chicken Parmigiana which was a little too fried and not nearly as tender. I'd definitely order the Chicken Piccata on my next visit. The Ziti and Penne were plentiful and good, and the salads were surprisingly good with fresh, crisp lettuce and ripe tomato slices. Overall, a good takeout, 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 stars for the tasty Piccata and piping hot food!
