Unfortunately we arrived as a party of tweens were there but this highlighted the poor service. With just a few other guests outside of the party, twice they didn't know where our order went and also there is only one soda fountain which entertained the kids because of all of the choice and caused a consistent line. It was a touch screen that didn't work well and a lot of flavors were not available which made their selections take that much longer.
The food was ok. Got the lunch special that came with two slices and a soda. Also ordered wings. The wings were the highlight of the meal. They were really good and if you want to feel like a barbarian who pulled off the wings of a chicken and threw them in the oven then these are for you! You get the whole wing in it's savory goodness.

We ordered pizza from this place and it was terrible. Waited over an hour after pickup time for a burnt black pizza (see pictures). The manager didn’t care and told me “it’s not burnt on the inside” lol. Manager also refused to do a refund and gave me a “what do you want me to do about it” attitude. What a sad excuse for a pizza place. Do yourself a favor and get a frozen pizza from Walmart. It will be 10x better than Giovanni’s sad excuse of a pizza.

They make Sicilian Pizza! And I was absolutely delighted that it tasted like my hometown pizza in Mamaroneck, NY! Da Bronx Bomber was delicious too, and we were pleasantly surprised with the pineapple pie. The pizza came out pretty quickly, nice and hot! They had the crushed red pepper and parmesan in the shaker bottles that every pizzeria in NY has - nice!.

The atmosphere is like a plain cafeteria but it was clean, cool, and the soda fountain offered a lot of choices. I rather have a plain atmosphere and great NY pizza, which they delivered! Looking forward to trying the rest of their menu!

Food was really good! The service did not seem organized to me, a guy who ordered after me (same to-go order, pizza and salad) got his food before mine. Oh well. Decor was fine, big open space with tables and chairs. Outside seating was also available.
I got the Caesars salad (good parm slices) and the Bronx pizza. Good crust, good quantity of toppings, sauce had slight zest, and good flavor.
A little pricey for what I got, but decent place.
