Customer Reviews

Jay and Kathy have an awesome small business going here at "Gio's Pizzeria"! Their operation is clean, the food is excellent, and the service is outstanding! We had our first meal at Gio's on Saturday afternoon, 9/27/2025. Our server, Maddie, was as pleasant and friendly as can be. We thoroughly enjoyed our pizza, listening to some great classic rock, and had wonderful conversation with the owners. We are so happy to have a new(er) local pizza place that treats everyone with respect and appreciation. Almost every table was full when we arrived, and we heard every customer say "Thank you" and that they would return soon. That speaks volumes! We are anxious to go back and try a lot more of what is offered on the menu. We wish Jay, Kathy, and the entire staff the absolute best of success! Thanks for a delicious experience!

What an amazing place! The owner James is an extremely nice guy. Christina, that was there was super kind as well. These cannolis look absolutely mind blowing, and the pizza is on point! It smells so good in the car. I kind of want my car to smell like pizza all the time. I would highly recommend you check this place out.

Don't let the beach aesthetic fool you, this is a great Italian menu with an even better pizza. We ordered the supreme and will for sure order it again. I appreciate the fresh ingredients and the crust was cooked perfectly. The only opportunity I will mention for the owners is the very heavy-bearded cook should wear a beard/hair net. It's unsettling to see that standing over food being cooked. Still, we'll return. 9.5/10
