This is by far one of my favorite spots on the Island. They make authentic wood-burning brick oven pizza that makes you want to have more and more. This place has a more of a restaurant feel so it’s a little awkward dining here alone, but nevertheless it makes one of the best pies on the island.
This place is actually known for their baby calzones which is made with mozzarella and sauce rather your standard ricotta or ham. The bread that they give you fresh on the table is actually made with the pizza dough with sea salt and olive oil (I get about two baskets, it’s wonderfully made). Also, their staff is always so nice and on point which makes a great atmosphere for any family.
Giovanni’s has an assortment of pies ranging from the standard Margarita pie to the Margarita alla Giovanni which is made with fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, and arugula. In my order I got the 18 inch Margarita pie which is about $17. Their 18 inch isn’t the standard round pie, it’s called a Palam which is a more roman style pizza. Their pizza is truly amazing, the dough is perfectly charred with the right amount of mozzarella and sauce and basil. The sauce is very sweet and light and not overpowering. My biggest gripe of this however is it’s NOT ENOUGH PIZZA. Yes. I can go for more. I haven’t tackled their 29 inch yet but the pizza is too outstanding.
Friday nights on a holiday season are usually the busiest, but once you have a bite of any of their food (calzones, pizza, pastas) you won’t ever regret it. Like I stated before it’s a little awkward coming here alone because it has a more of a restaurant feel rather than a more casual place but it’s worth it to bring a friend.
