I have been coming here for years and everything always tastes great. Always consistent. And most importantly very clean.
This place is a gem of pizza on Staten Island and of restaurants in general. We started with the fried calamari appetizer. It was light and crunchy with a savory and sweet marinara sauce that paired perfectly. A definite recommendation for fans of calimari. The superstars of the meal were the pizzas. We got the classic margarite, a Quattro formaggio white pie and a gustosa hot and sweet red pie. Each one was as good as the next. An excellent experience all around. Stop reading this and go here asap to see what I mean.
This place used to be good, however they have gone downhill. Everything we ate was over salted. The fried calamari tasted off, the sauce that accompanied it was watery and tasteless. We stopped eating it after a few bites. We had to wait 40 minutes for our pizza, yet there were maybe 3-4 tables occupied in the restaurant. The La Saporita pie had no fresh mozzarella as advertised, the cheese that was on the pie was greasy and chewy. The sauce was orange and extremely salty, definitely not indicative of what I expect from San Marzano tomatoes. The crust was dry and brittle. Toppings were sparse and not even distributed evenly. The servers didnt seem to care much at all. This restaurant is definitely living off its fame from the Bobby Flay Throwdown and not from the quality of its food.
Hand made pizza with best ingredients, great service. Loved the pizza and Giorgio, Tiramisu was amazing ❤️❤️
Had a fantastic time with my partner. The pizza is out of this world. We had the pizziaolo and Popeye white specialty pies and they did not disappoint! The ingredients and crust are amazing. Very, very underrated pizzeria on the island if you ask me and should get more notoriety.
Great time dinning in. Awesome pizza 🍕 and definitely will return.
I had decided to try this place last night and ordered a pie to go. The Variopinta was a hit! The cashier was extremely helpful and seemed to know exactly what she was speaking about when helping me choose this pie. The place was busy but it was obvious that she cared about a costumers happiness. I truly appreciate the service and the quality of the pizza! I will definitely order from here again.
Best pizza in NY. Especially the Giove’s pizza. It’s real Italian pizza.
I decided to try this place out due to the beat Bobby flay show and the relationship to my favorite pizza place(brothers). I have to say I was extremely disappointed. I ordered a vodka pie that was honestly terrible. Anytime I have ordered a vodka pie it comes with fresh mozzarella but here it was just a normal pizza with a little bit of vodka sauce. The flavor just was not there. For $22, I could go elsewhere for a good pie. Needless to say I will not be ordering from here ever again.
Absolutely 100 % the best pizza on staten island
Had another great dinner at this place ! Keep on coming back for pizza and appetizers. My faves are the throw down winners against Bobby Flay. You can’t find better pizza on Staten Island. The Toscana salad and fried calamari and zucchini are fabulous starters. Pleasant atmosphere, homey feel and attentive staff - great menu - you will not be disappointed!
The pizza is decent but do not order take out. I ordered take out over the summer, the woman told me about 40 minutes but it took them almost 2 full hours before I received my order. The waitress was nasty every time I politely asked about my order. I asked to speak with the owner and he didn’t seem to care about a regular customer. Mistakes happen but an owner or staff usually make it right by throwing in something or partially refunding the order. These people were down right nasty. I finally asked for a full refund and walked out. There are so many better options on the island. Joe and Pats, any Campania, Denino’s, Ciro’s, Goodfellas, Lee’s. Don’t waste your time with these people.
Thin and crispy. I loved it. Ill return for more :)
First off, their delivery boy cut us off and drove like an a-hole to secure a parking spot in front of the pizzeria. Second, we were told pies would be ready at 6:20 for pick up and we received them at 6:52, with no apology for the wait. The vodka pie was light on the vodka sauce. The regular cheese pie was very oily, over salted, and a tad bit floppy on the crust. The specialty pie (muzz, sausage, arugula) was very good and is the only reason they did not receive 1 star. With all of the raving reviews regarding the food here my only guess is that they forgot our order and had to rush to make it. Regardless, I was really disappointed. I am born and raised in Staten Island but have since moved away from NY. Coming back and eating pizza is usually a treat but this was not a treat at all. 3 pies for $72 to get cut off, flipped off, forgotten about and then given overly salted pies with a lackluster sauce just pisses me off. Go to Joe and Pats, thats a real pie.
Ordered a single large pie for pick up. They said 15 minutes, arrived 18 minutes after the call ended, they had not even made the pizza yet when I arrived but didn’t tell me until after I paid for the food. Then they had the nerve of asking me to wait outside on the cold for the pie to be done. Was thinking about getting 25 pies for an upcoming party but not anymore. Horrible customer service. I will not be giving them my business in the future.
Delicious pizza and friendly service! The male waiter helped us out and was amazing. We were with our daughter and he was rushing to make sure she was taken care of. The pizza is great and so are the wings. I’ll be back for more next time I visit Staten Island!
The pizza and the Food are Very Good. My only negative is the new staff are not up to speed And the owner being a top Pizza man Has no people skills . Basically a classless individual. Loves himself. Been there many times Not once did he say hello The best story we went last year in the heat of the summer the air conditioner was broke we were a little embarrassed to get up and walk out so we sat through the heat storm the guy never even offered us a glass of water thats why I say hes classless but he does make a really good pizza ! 😄
The pizza was amazing and the staff very friendly and attentive, giving us recommendations and picking up our table quickly. The pizza brought me right back to my childhood in Italy. A++ do not know whats up with the negative reviews below. They must not know good pizza.
Have gone often. They offer a different variety of pizza. Also the dinners are very good. If you like arugula and you order a pie with it, it will be covered with it. A little too much. This place is small and gets extremely crowded. Lunch time is better. Think they take reservations.
Ordered 2 pies 1 regular 1 vodka, I could not tell the difference in taste. Very oily paper thin. Baked clams the worst I ever had. I had frozen baked clams better. I never thried there food but pizza and clams never again. Way better place for pizza.
Best Tiramisu, if they have it available. It goes so quick its that good! Pizza is amazing as well. I went their for the first time like 3 years ago and have been getting the gustoza pizza ever since
After being a faithful customer of Brioso’s for 10 years I decided to give Giove a try. I ordered a large margarita, fried calamari & the carpaccio. The pizza was very good. The fried calamari was average; not that good. The carpaccio was TERRIBLE. This was the first and last time I go to Giove for anything other than pizza. For non-pizza dishes, spend a bit more and go to brioso.
Favorite pizza joint on SI. There isnt a bad pizza on the menu. Outdoor seating available, but always a strong choice for takeout, too.
We have been going there for past few year, since our daughter introduced us to this Pizza restaurant. All pizzas hand made by owners themselves. Fabulous and delicious, if you love thin crust.
Great pizza.. cooked very welll.. crispy and delicious
Delicious, thin and crispy pizza in an authentic Italian style. They have many kinds of specialty pizzas, and a lot of them are award winning. The atmosphere of the restaurant is also very comfortable and has a classic vintage feel to it.
Very good classic pie. But if youre looking for something different they have an amazing selection of specialty pizzas that are all delicious. The garlic and herb pie is exceptional if youre looking for something plain that isnt quite plain.
It was a wonderful experience, I knew the pizza was very good but I didnt know that the other dishes like the one I ate which was shrimp parmesan, it was great the sauce was good everything even the fried calamari was also good. Once again its a great place to eat,
One of the best plain pies in NY and alot of specialty pies
I come here very often, never had a problem, the food is always good. They had some nice specials for Valentines day. I was very happy they didnt mark up any of the regular dishes because of the holiday. Definitely will be back.
Best pizza good people
Best pizza on S.I.- Thin crust, brick oven made with the finest ingredients. The toscana is our favorite along with the naso. For dessert, the homemade tiramisu is incredible. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for. Well worth it!
Pizzas are authentic Italian, made in a brick oven that are awesome! Ceasar salad is lacking. I dont get it. PG takes so much care with its pizza and then they serve this below average salad. Cmon you guys you can do better then that. I would like to see a freshly chopped salad, with homemade dressing, crisp oversized croutons, freshly grated cheese with anchovies as an option.
Like Bobby Flay said: “It’s the cheese. Can’t beat the cheese.” The stracciatella is the crowning achievement of pizza. The Variopinto is the best pie I’ve ever had. It’s not a traditional pie and while I don’t think their regular pies are worth the 45 minute drive for me, the Variopinto is just perfect. When I go, I always order two. I live in Jersey and despite having good relationships with many great pizzerias out here, I can’t deny that nothing beats this pie.
As far as Im concerned the best pizza in NY if not the planet. Very consistent, good customer service. Most authentic pizza I ever tasted; and I experienced plenty other pizza from various places. If you a pizza lover put Gioves on bucket list.
Seriously one of THE best pizza restaurants on the Island. White pies, red, traditional, and gourmet. My fave is the DelPizzaiola. Off the hook!
Always great. Family run. Consistent and always welcoming. The pizzas are all fantastic. The margherita is unique; thin and perfectly cooked crust with the best combination of cheeses and pomodoro. Giorgio will make you smile and make you a regular. Mention Mike..... Lol
My first and only visit I asked for a 1/2 sausage pie. I didnt think I needed to say dont char black the crust and are you going to put any sauce on it. It was beyond horrible. Like they smeared a faint bit of some sauce near the edge of the crust that ended up black and the cheese was as tho it was a huge wad flatened against the entire pie. I paid and left and came back after I got into the car and saw this. I was told the reason the crust was burned was because they make thin crust pizza. Lol.What a joke and sure theyd make me another one. If this was their best - I wasnt wasting any more of my time for a repeat. I was not offered my money back. I was starving and I ate one one horrible all chewy cheese slice no sauce whatsoever under it and gave the other slices to some teens on New Dorp Lane. They laughed and said they didnt care if I already had a slice. Yes ignorance is bliss. If you want black burned crust and a sheet of thick cheese on your pizza. Yes by all means go there. Maybe they only do this for take out. I cant imagine theyd give any eatvin customer a burned pie.
I am not a big fan of specialty pizzas but I must say that the Naso pie is without a doubt the best pizza (specialty or not) i have ever eaten. It has the perfect amount of italian sausage, hot sopresatta and fresh mozz and. And the splash of tobasco sauce is definitely what takes this pie from 4 stars to 5 stars. Whoever created this pie is an absolute genius
Always good. Great pizza and dinners. Service is great and staff is very friendly. It does get very crowded on certain nights and it is very small, so a bit cramped waiting for a table. Lunch is the best time to go.
My kids all time favorite pizza, always made fresh. Good house wine and in general a great place to eat
One of the best pastas I had in my life ! My favourite place, super clean, delicious, good service!The pizza is even better. Nice place to be with your family and also to be alone !!!! Yummmmyyy
Great food, nice atmosphere, and professional staff. I definitely would return next time I am in Staten Island!
This place was recommended to be the most delicious pizza on the Island. The pizza was unedible it was so bad. No taste, burnt and expense for what I received. It was so bad I would not give it a second chance. What a turnoff.
While their food was very good, the manager/owner was extremely rude! We went with family in between a wake for my Aunt. Their A/C system broke down and there was no air circulating. This was yesterday, July 14th, 2016. They had originally said they lost power but they were still making pizza and our food was still being made. They had ceiling fans that they did not turn on, even after a few of us asking if they could be. Nobody came back to tell us one way or another. The manager/owner came out after wed all finished and was rudely clearing plates from in front of us telling us we could leave. Ive never experienced such an establishments service especially being such a delicate time in our familys life. I have nothing good to say about this place!
Pizza was good but the waitress was so rude it made us very uncomfortable.
One of my favorite local pizzerias. The pizza crust is perfect, try the Del Pizzaiolo. The mushroom papardelle is also incredible if you’re in the mood for pasta.
Another busy restaurant on New Dorp Lane. Pizza has always been rated high. Sometimes when Im not in the mood to cook Ill say, I can go for some eggplant parm. This is the place to go. We usually share a personal Pizza & Eggplant dish that comes with pasta. Very Good ! Parking is tough some times, busy martial arts school next store. Very Clean & Neat dining room. I also enjoy watching the owner make the pizza in the dining room, he also oversees whats going on in the room. Try it! Bob Cavagnaro
My favorite pizza in Staten, and thats saying a lot because theres plenty of worthy competition! Try the burratina white pie, or the poggiorsini, or if you want something simpler the garlic herb, or for vegans the marinara, really everythings good.
Great spot !!!! Pizza is delicious nice atmosphere not huge waiting area but very friendly and you get to watch them make pizza.. Pizza was delicious food very good pricing is fair go check it out it’s worth it ..
One of NYC best pizzeria!
Real Italian pizza!
SAY NO to GIOVE!!! I see Im not the only one that has a problem with pizza Giove I ordered 2 pies one with fresh mozzarella and fresh basil, dont cook the basil! we never do Oh really not only it was BURNT 2 leaves thats the only basil on this margarita pie are you kidding!!! it wasnt fresh water mozzarella dont fool the public and when I called they offered to make a new one another 45 minutes I asked for a credit that was ok they apologized and wrote my name and number in their book? until my phone rang and I had to return the pizza, My mom just had invasive core biopsies and was ill I told them that. they wanted their pizza I wanted what I ordered and paid for and waited an hour. my grandparents were from Italy let me show you how to make a pizza GOOD BYE say NO to GIOVE
This place was featured on Throwdown with Bobby Flay. We ordered the calamari and zucchini sticks for appetizers. We also ordered the Naso (1st place for spiciest pie) and the Variopinta (white pie that won on Throwdown with Bobby Flay). The pies were tasty, with the spicy pie being a little bit spicy. I would just skip the appetizers. The staff was very nice and attentive as well. I would return if Im ever in Staten Island again.
The food is delicious here. The pizza is great. The mussels are my favorite.
If your looking for a great pizza that has wonderful flavor in a very nice atmosphere and 3 brothers that work in tandem then this is the place you want to go, i have yet to have,a bad experience and the food is,always,too notch. Way to go guys keep it up.
Great place and excellent food.
Went here recently, the pizza was perfect. It used to be to oily but looks like they fixed it and I would 100% recommend going here for dine in or take out.
The food, the atmosphere, the staff... everyone is wonderful. This place is awesome for a quick bite or a sit down dinner. I have never ordered anything i did not love!
By far the best Pizzeria on Staten Island. Their pizza is thin crust and just tastes amazing. Their Fried Raviolis and Calamari are also extremely good!
The pizza is okay but the wait for take out or delivery is insane. Save yourself the aggravation because you will be waiting forever for delivery or take out especially on the weekends!!!! My advice is stay away. They just cant handle the orders on sat and Sunday nights! :(
I absolutely love this place. The food is delicious. The garlic and herb pizza is my favorite food. I come here specifically for this pizza. Please try it.
STAY AWAY. I have severe food allergies and when I asked someone if there were any nuts in their pesto sauce I was told no, but after two bites into my pasta I immediately got an allergic reaction and when I alerted a steff member about it their only response was oh, I wasnt sure if there were actually nuts in it. Without any type of remorse or apology for the fact that I could have died. Aside from that horrible experience, the chefs seemed to be making constant rude and inappropriate remarks toward the female servers well within earshot which just further made me uncomfortable. I will never be returning again.
Known for their Award Winning specialtiy pizzas...feel like Ive had eaten half the selections so far, and every one is better than the last....their white pies are awesome....the mussels apps, WOW....and zucchini fries the best!!!!
Pizza was so greased the cheese melted over the slices and it literally seeped off the pizza, had to let it cool just to be able to recut and eat
Food was delicious, served quick and hot. Service was attentive and pleasant, not rushed even though it was a peak time on a Friday evening and clearly very busy. Everything was good and my group of 4 had a good experience.
Anybody that doesnt give giove a 5star pizza rating has no clue about good pizza.im a native brooklynite.i have worked and eaten in pizzerias all my life (42).i have friends that own pizzerias ect. moved out to staten island 11 years ago to be dissapointed that there were no credible pizza joints. coming from da vinchis, L&B pizza park, defarras (which is way over rated) and all the other good spots that i didnt mention. then sals of soho came and i was in heaven,but that left which was a big blow to me and all the coal fired pizza lover out here. but giove, giove is in a class by itself! for me and all my friends we all agree it takes the crown away from the deninos!!
Excellent pizza! One of my favorites!
My family & I love Pizza Giove! The food is so delicious & always consistent! The atmosphere is very welcoming, clean and comfortable.
Everything is amazing at this place. The food, the service, the atmosphere, and the cost. Always a perfect experience. I live in the neighborhood, and we order from them all the time as well. Always on point.
We had the extra spicy pizza and it was exceptional. We will definitely go back to explore the other dishes on the menu
Pizzeria Giove specializes in crispy thin-crust pies, so if thats your jam, you wont be disappointed. Toppings are Italian-influenced with a modern twist, so youll get things like sausage & sopressatta pizza with a splash of Tabasco, or pancetta, straciatella & zucchini.
Excellent pizza and panini. Always good food and fairly decent service. The prices are on the higher side but are worth it since the food is always good.
My favorite Gourmet Pizza. Especially La Pizzaiolo.
The Variopinta pie is delicious. The service is great. The place is a nice, upper scale pizzeria. The other pies aren’t great though.
Amoung my favorite pizza spots on Staten Island for thin crust Napolitan style pizza.. Ive eaten my fill of pizza in Naples and all over the world, this pizza is a contender.. exceptionally good.
The regular pizza with sausage was delicious. We’ll definitely be going back. This place is a must for pizza junkies.
One of the BEST pizzas I have ever had! Like in Italy. Love this place
Food is good waiter was awful which made the experience terrible. Service is very important, had to ask for water 3 times before it came to the table and forget getting any bread. Big thumbs down
This has to be the best pizza I ever tasted in my life I would definitely recommend ordering the pizza if you go
I simply enjoy their dishes. I always get excellent service there. The place is well organised and the cashiers are always super nice. I highly recommend this place.
Had multiple tables that seat 6, we were a party of 4 and we were told by hostess that we cant use those tables. Better for us we went to the better place Joe & Pats 💙
Omg. The food here is delicious. If you havent been there, then you must go. If your into some good authentic style Italian Food.
I really wasnt crazy about this place. The service was slow and I felt like my friend and I were mislead when we were told the personal pizza would not be enough for the two of us. So now we have two pizzas neither one of us like.
This place never disappoints! chicken franchese and fried zucchini. the chicken was so tender!;
Best pizza in the world!!! I drive miles just to have it!!! (and Im off the boat italian!!!!) #saporita #gustosa #mussels in white sauce!!!!
The food was outstanding. The service was mediocre at best. And the noise was through the roof. I have been to sports bars that were not as loud.
Omg what a great pizzeria he makes the pizza fresh in front of you .. Great service a little pricey but worth it
We order take out bad choice. Order 2 pasta dishes small pie and 1 app they gave us no bread the food was ice cold . Live and learn never again
Ordered a pepperoni pizza. Each slice had one piece. Not worth it for $30 a pie
Salad was excellent and the pizza was even better
Food is here delectable and consistent. Great service and nice environment! Try the zucchini so forno. Its amazing!
I took my mom for Mother’s DayAnd we tried the the FrośeIt was delicious with a kickWhat a great time we had hereFood is awesome
Awesome pizzas we tried 8 different pies loved them all.
Bottom line if you know pizza...Giove is place to go....and their salads n soups are top notch....we have same waitress everything n she is also ON THE MONEY.....
Really good pizza. Me and the family love this place.
I was in line behind a guy from Brooklyn who told me that he comes all the way over to Pizzeria Giove because its the best in NYC. Who am I to argue with that!
One of the best pizza crust Ive ever tasted! Margarita was the best.
Is simply fabulous the best pizza I ever heath and I am a pizza maker all my life
I am Italian and pizza is real Italian pizza. I felt as if I was at home. Good job Gioves brotha
Two time international pizza award winner! Thats all, that needs to be said.. awesome!
The manager/owner is a terrible human being ive seen him be very nasty and slander his workers call them idiots right in front of the customers. no class.
This is pizza heaven! The flavors and seasonigs on the pizzas blend together for an unforgettable experience.
There are lots of varieties of good pizza on staten island and this is one of them
Not a fan of the service and attitude we used to order at least 2 -3 times a week of $40 -$50 orders and one time they put extra food without us knowing and we end up paying we asked to return the extra food and get our $ back or strore credit the manager got upset and told us we cant order from there
Best pizza I ever had!!!!! Clean place, great service!!! Phenomenal!!!!
One of the best pies in Staten Island and even in NYC. The Millennium pie is a must try.

2022-02-17In the conversation for best pizza on Staten Island. Their specialty pies are absolutely amazing and award winning might I add. They are now making their own mozz sticks and were probably the best Ive ever had. 100% recommended eating here.
Review №2
2022-07-05Ive heard a lot of hype about Pizzeria Giove. I love their story as told on their menu, even though they spelled Pizzaolo wrong, which makes me question how authentic they might be ... We went on quiet Sunday during 4th of July weekend and we were the only people in the restaurant. We ordered a caesar salad and fried calamari to start. The apps came out quickly. The caesar was good, but the calamari left much to be desired. There were only tubes which leads me to believe they buy it frozen and dont get the tentacles. No shade against frozen calamari, but you need to season it, it was definitely underseasoned and came with the tiniest shot glass of sauce, which wasnt enough for half of the platter. The size was good. Now onto the main event, first off the menu is broken down into 2 pricing categories: small and large. The small 14 pizzas (6 slices) run around $15 and the large 18 pizzas (8 slices) run around $32 and up... kind of highway robbery for 4 more inches of pizza. Also they dont allow you do do half and half pizzas, which forces you to order 2 small pies. The pizza took forever to come out. We were the only ones in the restaurant and if you are making true wood burning or coal burning oven pizza, they shouldnt take more than 2-4 minutes to cook. The margherita was not particularly great. Usually you cannot go wrong with fresh mozzarella, tomato sauce and basil, honestly it was just meh. The pizza texture is extremely thin and crispy, which I dont mind, but I prefer some more heft... Im not talking deep dish, but I want to see a nice rise on the dough and some small air pockets on thin pizza, yielding a nice chew. The specialty pizza we ordered was called the Gustoso, which had straciatella, hot sopressata and sweet sausage. It was excellent, like hard to stop eating even though we were so full. It saved the whole visit. Stracciatella is mozzarella stored in heavy cream so its like you are eating cream sauce on your pizza, which is really tasty. If you are stopping on for the first time, stick with small specialty pies and dont deviate.

2022-04-13OMG, how come we didn’t try this pizzeria long time ago?! Amazing unique pizza ever tried in my life.. much try😋😋 sorry I forgot to take the picture earlier lol
Review №4
2022-07-07Very very disappointed. I planned on coming here for a quick couple of slices of pizza just like a regular pizzeria. They only serve by the pie not by slice. I only get to experience this place is with a few friends. Very heartbreaking

2017-12-28The service is fast and the employees are very friendly.The Atmosphere is simply lovely and I personally loved the tags on the wall and the pictures of Italy and Italian actors and actresses.The food is AMAZING. I loved that they leave on the table dressing such us olive oil and oregano

2022-03-23Giorgio Giove is a master at his craft....his pizzas are a work of art. This is easily the best pizza Ive had in my life and Ive eaten lots of pies in my life....He uses the finest ingredients and all proportions are dosed at ideal levels....best pizza experience in the world....this place cant and wont be topped!

2018-02-09Finally had the chance to try this place for lunch. My wife wanted a white pizza and I got a panini. The pizza was good and thin. The sweet sausage and broccoli rabe panini was quite different it was thinner then I expected but it was tasty. I prefer it to be thicker, I guess I love my carbs. Service was decent and waitress was friendly.
