Gio's Pizza — Restaurant in Town of Islip

Let me just say this: if the gods ever descended to Earth and decided to bless us with a food worth worshipping, it would come straight out of the oven at Gio’s. This isn’t just pizza—this is divine intervention in the form of dough.

The owner? He’s not a man. He’s a pizza sorcerer. A crust whisperer. A mozzarella warlock summoned from the depths of Naples itself. I’m 87% sure he made a deal with some kind of ancient culinary spirit to perfect this craft.

Gio’s offers a pizza selection so extensive, so mouthwateringly beautiful, that I once blacked out halfway through choosing a slice and woke up in the parking lot whispering, “One more garlic knot…”

Since moving out of state, I’ve experienced true despair. I’d trade my social security number, my last roll of toilet paper, and my dog’s loyalty for a single hot slice. Sorry, Hazel.

I love Gio’s pizza more than air. More than my family. If my house were on fire and I could only save one thing, I’d grab a Gio’s pie and watch the rest burn while whispering, “worth it.”

In short: Gio’s is not just a pizzeria. It’s a full-blown religious experience, and I’m ready to tithe...

East Islip is a very friendly area, with loads of guest-friendly inhabitants and clean and neat streets. 'Gio's' is a nice restaurant, good food (as long as you do not compare the north-american pizza, with REAL pizza (i.e. from Italy, Germany or other developed countries). The fast and (initially) very friendly service has to be mentioned. In general, this place is definitely recommendable, - the only disadvantage for guests, who are coming from developed countries is, that here - just as valid for 97,8 % of all US-citizens - the whole team is monolingual, and masters only the English language, - still, the business owner and his team cannot be blamed for this handicap, as it is one of the typical signs of the critical status of the educational system in the usa, which, unfortunately, does not reach the standards of e.g. Nigeria, Cambodia or Iran. Ceterum censeo: as long as you are willing to forget about European standards, this restaurant is absolutely worth...

By the far the best pizza I've ever had. My father has had Gios Grandma pie multiple times at work and highly praised the pizza. Prior to now he has always gone for another pizzeria on his birthday, but Gios taste made such an impact that he switched it up. The whole family could not be more glad he did. The family concluded it's the best pizza any of us have ever had. The taste of fresh garlic in every single bite is remarkable and not overwhelming. The sauce & cheese ratio is absolutely perfect. In addition to the food the pizzeria is spotless and has an incredibly friendly staff. Top to bottom the best. Highlyyy...
