I've always judged this place from the outside but finally threw the book cover out and gave it a try and I'm glad I did. Giovanni's has been writing chapters since 1956 and I don't expect them to write their last page anytime soon. I've always heard people talk about it around the Lorain county area and now I finally tried it and here's my review.
I ordered a pizza with pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms and jalapeƱos. All of the toppings were very good and tasted like premium ingredients. I especially loved the cheese. It was thick and stretchy and unlike a lot of places you really don't need to order extra cheese because they're not as stingy. I loved the construction of the pizza. They put a foundation of sauce, followed by pepperoni, sausage and mushrooms and then the cheese over top. I love this because it keeps all of your ingredients in tact melted under a heaven of cheese. The jalapeƱos were then placed on top. I loved the sauce and the ingredients and they way I was greeted and treated throughout my transaction. The only reason for my 1 star deduction is for the crust. A pizza's crust is where a lot of people have different preferences. I like either a really crispy crust or really doughy depending on my mood. Giovanni's crust was more of an in between with a chewy consistency. It's definitely not a deal breaker for me though because the rest impressed. I will definitely be back.
