| - So, I'm giving this place 2 stars only because their pizza is sort of decent.
The first time I had the pizza, it was purchased by some of our vendors at my job. They ordered a few different kinds - buffalo chicken, the ranchero, plain, and pepperoni. I had a slice of the buff chick and a slice of the ranchero. They were good, pretty tasty, and different from the usual. I thought to myself, "Cool! A new place to have lunch every now & then!" So when a co-worker asked me if I wanted to order from Giovanni's for lunch, I jumped all over it. This time, however, I decided to go with the chicken tender salad. Talk about a huge let down....
As soon as I was handed the salad, which was thrown together in a see-through container, I could tell it was going to be sub-par. Ready for the lineup of thrilling ingredients? It was 4 chicken tenders (probably once frozen) thrown on top a bed of iceberg lettuce, a few shredded carrots, about a half pound of shredded mozzarella cheese, 3 cucumber slices (1 of which was about as thick as a deck of cards while the other 2 were thin enough to see through), and, drum roll please, croutons which had absolutely no flavor. These tasted "homemade;" and by homemade, I mean they were made from bread that was left out over night, and then torn up into chunks. I can't quite find the words to describe this salad...it was just....gross.
I complained to a friend about how disappointing my salad was, and her response - "Well, why would you order a salad from a pizza joint?" Well "friend," how about don't put food on your menu that tastes like garbage (and then have the nerve to charge $11 for it). If you're going to have a food business, be proud of what you do and what you're making.
Anyhow, the pizza was decent...or maybe it just tasted better b/c it was free? I don't know...but what I do know is, I won't be ordering from here again. I typically like to support local biz, but when you're serving me something I once ate at a grade school lunch (which was actually probably better than the salad I got here), don't expect to keep the customers coming back for more.
