Giovanni's Pizzeria

This place has an old school local vibe. Menu is no bs, you choose your own toppings. It’s not innovative but it feels nostalgic, comforting, and traditional. Pizza is like a picturesque NY pie. Fairly greasy, a lot of flop, thin in the center. Crust is a bit boring. Cheese reminds me of my time spent in NY. Good undercarriage. Thin sheet of cheese, not heavy. Reasonable prices and great service. 7.5

One bite, everybody knows the rules. Reasonable undercarriage, no flop, crispy crust, 7.8.

The ricotta, olive, sausage and pesto combo on the Gourmet pizza is tasty and original. Add to that the thin and crispy crust and you've got a great pie.

Sold NY slice. Bottom is nice and crispy, sauce and cheese ratio is perfect

This spot has been consistent for years, dough is perfect, sauce has a great smooth flavor profile, and the cheese is neutral. An east coast 7.2 but a California 9.1 one of the few places where you can order a single slice. Call it an 8.2 hedging the various coasts.

Decent crust. No flop but cheese nothing great and not enough sauce. Overall a bit bland.

It was decent pizza. The crust tasted amazing but it was really thin. The cheese was decent and the pepperonis were decent. Nothing special but it filled me up. Huge slices.

Not the best pizza ever

Very good! Crunchy on outside and a little floppy towards the middle. I really like the pizza!

I grew up in NJ and it took me over 20 years to find a great pizza place here in the Bay Area. Excellent pizza, great chicken park and baked ziti too. The owner is a an NY transplant and he gets it.

Great little find in an Asian strip plaza. Solid slice! Great ingredients. Cheese amazing, sauce slightly saltier than I like but overall decent, crust was awesome. Could have been a little crispier but overall solid slice.

A wonderful slice. Very good combo of crunch and doughyness. Cheese was excellent and I wish there was more sauce. Very good.

Pesto, garlic, mozz, and marinara. Great flavor, but wayy too sloppy.

First impression looked great, ZERO Sunnyvale flop. Not greasy at all which is great. Great sauce and cheese, plus nice and crispy and right out of the oven All around a great pizza that lives amongst the gods. I give it a 9.1

Hands down the best pizza I've been able to find on the west coast. Thin crispy crust. No flop. Not chewy at all. Light grease. Exactly what a cheese pizza should be. Dude who runs the shop is legit. The search is over. I will continue to drive out of my way for this pizza. California Score: 9.6
