Giovanni’s - Gilmer

Deluxe Pizza offers an amazing taste and excellent service! The pizza was hot when I picked it up and had just the right amount of toppings. The crust was slightly tough, but that won't stop me from coming back repeatedly! The prices are also very reasonable!

For an appetizer, we had fried cheese sticks with marinara sauce, and let me tell you, they were the best I've ever tasted. This is exactly how fried cheese sticks should be! While we waited for our meals, we noticed two enormous salads being served at another table—they looked amazing and left us in awe! I cannot recommend this place enough; it’s hands down the best Italian restaurant we’ve been to, besides New York, of course. And we’ve tried many! We even spoke with the Italian chef who makes the brick oven pizzas; he mentioned that his mother is from Sicily and works in the kitchen as well. He used to live in New York before relocating here, so the authenticity is off the charts. You must try this restaurant—you'll definitely want to come back!

The food here is excellent, but unfortunately, we were informed that today is their last day of operation. They will be closing in 22 minutes, and they won’t be reopening. In about a month, this building will become a country café (diner) under new ownership, though most of the staff seems to be staying on.

5/14/22-I went to the restaurant on Saturday with my daughter Kelly and we had a very good meal, delicious, and the service by Anda was very good. Everyone in the restaurant is welcoming! they also had someone singing and she was very good too. It’s a festive place there are also tables outside but when we came it was drizzling so we didn’t sit outside. but we will be back again and will sit outside. We camw right after attending the Producers Club, a few doors down ar which was the fantastic New York Sci-Fi Film Festval, where I am so happy that my script called “The Past Comes Back” was OFFICIALLY SELECTED to be part of the festival. xoxo Fran Sisco and Kelly

I got to enjoy my plate of veggie stir fry. The noodles were absolutely delicious. The bell peppers were cooked perfectly and the seasoning on the dish overall was just to my liking. Nice place for an Italian date night!!!
