good east coast pizza

by bdwoz

The pizza is as close to east coast I have found in CA. I have lived in San Jose almost 30 years. The other dishes are ok. I go only for the pizza.

Real New York Pizza

by janibrewski

Giovanni's is the real thing. Born and raised in NY, I'm constantly looking for good NY Pizza, and I've finally found it. Vito's Famous, Pizza My Heart, Amici's, they are all good. But this is the real thing.

Try their Sicilian (thick crust, rectangular pizza) as well.

If you don't like Giovanni's pizza, you don't like pizza.

• Pros: Pizza, Sicilian Pizza, Service
• Cons: Too far from my house!

Over-priced

by vparikh

After reading all the glowing reviews here, we decided to try this place out. We were afraid that on a Saturday night, the place would be crowded but to our surprise, it was deserted. That should have warned us.

We ordered some pizzas and settled down to wait. The service was fine (with smile too). When the first pizza arrived, my friend tried it and found the crust to be burned!. So we sent it back. The other pizza was OK. The crust is OK but nothing extra-ordinary.

The real shock was the bill. They charged us 18% tip because we were a party of 8!. The total bill (for 4 large pizzas and drinks) was a whopping $132!!.

I am a long time Cicero Pizza customer and Cicero's is way better value for the money. This is my first and last visit at Giovanni's.
