I ordered a Margherita pizza from here. They only have one size but I estimated about a 14 inch. Now a Margherita is a very specific kind of classic Italian pizza that uses fresh tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and fresh basil and oil. Because it uses fresh ingredients like this, it often has an uneven and "messy" appearance, like an old world pizza.
What I got was just their plain cheese pizza with some shriveled basil thrown on top. It wasn't bad, it was an OK cheese pizza, but I paid $17 for a medium plain cheese pizza which you can get anywhere. I've tried nearly everywhere in Cookeville/Algood and if you want a plain cheese pizza it's hard to beat Marco's and you can get a 16 inch there for about $12 with their takeout deal.
It's OK if you can't make a Margherita. Really it is. But don't advertise that you can make one if you can't. Those of us who really love good pizza get really discouraged at this...
Read moreJay 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...
