Giovanni’s is so delicious and the people are so friendly and welcoming!
This place reminds me of one of those magic hole in the wall restaurants you would find in New York City and I mean that in the best way. The food is fantastic. Great pizza, great pasta, Stromboli…everything is delicious and Julio and Javier (chefs/owners) are the best. No complaints, go see what you are missing.
The food was good. We didn't realize it was inside of a gas station. They were friendly.
Austin - the land of limited options, mostly mediocre, with any limited standouts there are being heavily overpriced. Giovanni's pizza is not that. It's actually good pizza in the S. Lamar area for a fair price. It's not the best pizza you've ever had, but it's a solid pizza for a solid price. Italian food in Austin is generally very disappointing so my expectations were not high. However, Giovanni's was actually good, satisfying pizza that doesn't cost $30 for a pie (i'm looking at you, homeslice). Glad I found this place. Will be my new go-to for pizza.
To be honest I don't leave that manny reviews let alone positive ones, but I'll tell you right now Giovannis pizza stand is a breath of fresh air on pizza. Never fails with the service, and the taste is perfect. I will always recommend this hidden gem over any other pizza.
