Reviews Summary
Pizzeria Giove is celebrated for its exceptional, award-winning pizzas with creative toppings and thin, crispy crusts, often described as gourmet. While many rave about the unique flavors and high quality, some diners have experienced issues with inconsistent service, long wait times, and occasional errors in orders. Entrees other than pizza have also received mixed reviews.
"The pizza is outstanding here. We drove in from Manhattan to try the pizza. I’d definitely return to try more of their specialty pizzas. We started with the Margherita—it had a thin, crispy crust, though the sauce and cheese were milder in flavor than other Margheritas I've tried. The sauce is fresh and so are the rest of the ingredients in the pizza. The pizza really shone once we had another with toppings. We ordered the Paris, one of their specialty pies, topped with San Marzano tomato sauce, stracciatella, flat pancetta, crimini mushrooms, and a soft garlic & herb cheese. The combination was outstanding. The restaurant is large and inviting. The service was great."

"I got the margherita pizza which was really good! On the dave portnoy scale i would go 8.1. I will say it got a little samey towards the end but thats probably just on me for not getting a more interesting topping. My wife got chicken parm and penne vodka. I did not like their vodka sauce so would not get that if we go again. It tasted kind of like the fake texture of kraft mac and cheese. Their chicken was also thin and not very good. Would go again for the pizza but not the entrees. Also they never came by to refill our waters or asked if we needed anything hence the low service rating."

In fact Lee’s Tavern created an entire category for pizza (bar pizza) but not a destination pizza by any means. Perhaps the most underrated pie in SI comes from Nonna’s in Great Kills.
