Gia's Pizza deserves more attention than it gets. While the sauce and cheese could use a slight boost, the dough and texture are on a completely different level and this is the closest you will get to L'Industrie or some of the other more hype spots in this part of Queens. I have always been a fan of Andrew Bellucci's pies and was loyal to his spot since Philomena's does not deliver here, so finding Gias was a pleasant surprise.
You can taste the 48 to 72 hour fermentation in the dough. It has that perfect chew and gluten development, though not quite as airy as L'Industrie, without becoming that dense bread-like chew you get when places cut corners on fermentation and lean too heavily on bread flour.
Gia's imo nails the balance here as he crust has structure and flavor which results in a more airy feel.
If you are serious about pizza and want something high quality at a fair price in Astoria, this is the only spot in the area that satisfies that craving when I do not feel like making it at home.
I have tried every place that delivers around here and Gia's is definitely...
