Giavanna's Pizzería — Restaurant in Kenhorst

I've ordered from here a number of times but this time I'm leaving a review, because I think it's important to know what to expect here.

They are a small business and the family used to come in to the Turkey Hill I worked at every night after they closed. They are nice people, the woman much more so. The big guy is always steady grinding and I have seen him be a bit irritable in the past but I can't blame them. I just hope they hired more help by now.

The food however has never disappointed me, in fact it often exceeds expectations! I love the fun menu and enjoy the cheesesteaks very much. My only quarrel is I wish they'd add a gizmo sub and PLEASE BRING BACK VODKA FRIES!!! The gourmet pizzas are darn delicioso and my girlfriend claims it's the best dough around.

I can't really say anything about the atmosphere because they pretty much removed all the seating. I'm sure they had to but it does make you feel a bit unwelcome compared to the previous joints that resided there. But they decorate nicely and that's enough for me.

All in all, I'm glad they're here. They are a small business that has to make money so of course they're not perfect. But they are great people who will make sure you have good food at good portions. It's nice to see a business actually stay in that building for more than a couple years. Plus, you can trust whenever you buy something that your money is going to their kids college or something.

P.S. Thank you for the little bag of treats that you gave us with our order on Halloween!! It really...

Went for dinner, group of 8 including 3 children under 7. It was busy so we waited roughly 20 minutes for them to clean a table. Sat down took another 15 mins to order our drinks, we ordered our food also since we had time to look at menu. Waiter took our wings to a different table. The small children were still waiting for the pizza. The waiter set up the pizza stands and everything. Women who took our order came over and asking how everything was and proceeded to close the pizza stands. I then let her know calmly that we were still waiting for the pizzas. Mind you we had already gotten stuff shell meal (overcooked), 2 orders of wings and 2 fries. She goes back to kitchen and sends waiter out to tell us their computer must of messed up and they didn’t make our pizzas. By this time we are almost an hour in, screaming kids because they are hungry and now have to wait for the pizza to be make. It took them an hour and 20 minutes. We recently moved to the area and came on a Saturday night before (had NO issues, young waitress was amazing) tonight we had a bad experience- over cooked food, messing up our order/canceling and not knowing what table got what. Then we get the check and have full charge. I’m not saying we want everything for free but for their mess up the could of took off a pizza or something. We will probably go there again but hopefully better service, if...

Def one of the better Italian shops in town. Really generous portions.

A few oddities, however. The lettuce on my Italian sub was really wet. Maybe they just washed it? Also could have been whoever made the sandwich drizzled a little too much oil on top. Either way, it was glistening with some sort of liquid and that led to it being soggy rather than nice and crisp.

Also didn't expect thickly breaded chicken in the chicken Marsala, but that wasn't really an issue. There was a lack of sauce, though, in my opinion, so that left a lot of dry, bland bites of pasta because it just wasn't coated thoroughly.

The salads were really good and filling. Lots of meat. Definitely eats like a meal. One drawback perhaps was the fact that on the Chef Salad, the meat wasn't rolled up and sliced. So there were basically just big slabs of meat layered on top. I've ordered chef salads from a ton of restaurants around town, and what they'll do is roll up the meat and cheese, then cut them into about 4-5 sections. It just makes it so much easier to eat. Better presentation as well.

Everything tasted good, though. And the delivery packaging was also well done. I'll definitely order from...
