Pizza Today has rated us as one of America's Top 100 Independent Pizza restaurants for 12 years. According to La Cocinita, Giovanni's consistently ranks among the best pizza parlors in the country. Crosswinds adds "When we think of pizza, we think of New York City (no offense Chicago). And then we think of New York pizza...it's Giovanni's where we imagine Uncle Joey from Long Island would be most at home. Thin crust and a genuine New York attitude permeates the air here."
