Giovanni’s Pizza

I didn’t like the pizza. I just moved here from Maryland. The crust tastes like it sits in the freezer and the sauce is probably canned. The salad bar is COMPLETELY sub-​par. It consists of shredded iceberg lettuce, cheese, crumbled egg, onion, tomato and shredded carrots and a few dressings. When I think salad bar I think different types of lettuce/​greens, more veggies, etc.
Redeeming factor? Those subs! They are delicious. I ate probably 4! LOL!
Three stars because the restrooms and restaurant in itself are kept clean, the staff is friendly, but the food isn’t so great.

Fair food. All the sauces taste canned. The restaurant & restrooms were very clean. The buffet had a good variety of pizza, sandwich, salad, pastas & sauces. One of the few places open on Sunday, which is when we drove through.

When I first moved here three years ago I asked all my neighbors where the best place to get pizza was and all of them recommended Giovanni’s. Boy were they right! fresh pizza, decent prices and there buffet is amazing! The little sadnwhiches are delicious and there BBQ pizza is better then the one at California Pizza Kitchen chain on the west coast! So good, how could you not love giovanni’s? lol

Food and service is poor, would try another place.

Giovanni’s Pizza has been a popular Jackson eatery since my parents were teenagers (or so they tell me) and after a lifetime of eating their food I definitely understand why.
For a little while in the early 2000s they changed the ham on the suns and it was a rough few years, but now everything is back to how it once was and it is SO GOOD.
I enjoy the pizza, and it has a taste all of its own, but the reason Giovanni’s is taking five stars from me is its sub sandwiches. They really shouldn’t be anything special– they have the exact same ingredients as every other ham and cheese sub I’ve ever had, but it’s everything combined that make them my very favorite food at any restaurant in Jackson.
The bread is perfect, soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside, and the onions are never overpowering.
I’m the odd one out in my family though, because everyone else goes for the buffet every time and I can’t say that I blame them. It is replenished constantly and they have a great selection of pizzas, subs, salads and pasta dishes available. I can’t remember the price but it seemed below average for pizza buffets and for what you get on your plate (or plates) it is totally worth every penny.
