Giovanni's Pizza

Had the chicken parm sandwich... I actually counted 5 bites between the 2 halfs that were just cheese, sauce, and bread. I ordered a pizza to go and was told it'll be 5 to 7 minutes....well over 30 minutes later I was asked if I was ready for my pizza and I was told it's been sitting on top of the oven....I can safely say I will not be giving them any more of my business. There was only 1 elderly couple in the establishment while I was there so they cannot use an excuse that they were busy.

The server was friendly & maintained composure given the situation of the poor staffing. My group arrived as the only couple dining inside was preparing the leave at 4:25 PM. So, we were the first ones there 35 minutes before the pizza buffet bar scheduled to open; willing to wait. However, the 2 cooks working were not prepared to have the pizza bar open at the scheduled time it took an additional 20 minutes later after designated time to open the buffet at which time they only offered 2 types of pizzas (both those were meat pizzas on the bar). Due to this it only allowed customers to select the 2 meat toppings pizza or go without. By that time every table was filled with customers and the server could not keep up due to the short staffing. The server was only able to refill only one pers

They were closed for Christmas break. When we showed up, it would not be fair for me to I guess a food review when they were closed. But they did have crew inside, and they had everything stripped down, and was cleaning. Everything is that impressed me a lot. Well, they took their time to make sure there was a deep cleaning and not just a surface cleaning

Italian sub was good. The sub sauce was amazing. The pizza was okay. Sauce & crust were good, but the underneath/middle was under cooked. Loved the breadsticks. We dipped them in the in-house garlic butter sauce. Super disappointed with the sauce though, not much flavor.

Buffet for lunch, had a nice variety of hot, fresh food. Pizza as always was delicious, service was great, and friendly. I'll be eating lunch there again, when im back in Belpre.
