Are you kidding me? – I ordered a meatball sub for lunch and was amazed at what I got. An open-faced sub on supermarket bread with a thick, greasy, rubbery layer of melted cheese. What did I find underneath? Meatballs? Frankly, I have no idea what it was. Spongy gray discs of some kind of meat product. No meatballs. I took several out and ate them on their own, and they tasted like... nothing. The so-called salad was nothing but clearly old green leaf lettuce (it was browning) and five little pieces of purple cabbage. The on... read more

Big Disappointment – After reading the reviews I took a group to try Giovannis out. We were sorely disappointed. Service was slow. Food was marginal. We were looking for a new experience and what we learned was stick with what we know. Don't waste your money or time here.

Not bad, but nothing special – I ordered a three-meat pizza from Giovanni's for take-out after reading the rave reviews, but was somewhat let down. The pizza was certainly large, and the crust was thick, making for a filling meal, but the flavor was lacking. The beef and sausage were almost indistinguishable from one another, the sauce was non-existent, and the cheese was flavorless. Overall, the pizza was edible, and didn't taste BAD, but it is not something I would recommend unless you have a large group of very hungry peo... read more

Best Pizza in the Area. – This place has awesome Pizza, Only other Pizza that Compares is Nonna Emilia's in Aloha, (Nonna's It has more cheese on it and is a little more greasy, but still good IMO) Like others have said, this Place has been around for ever, and the reason isn't the Atmosphere, it's the FOOD, In the 80's I started going here, the place looked like a Old Soda Shop with the sparkle booths, and the service was from people who'd looked at you and you'd say to your self, I'm swearing they are saying "Here's your d... read more

I LIKED IT! – Went there in August 2006 for lunch. The place was pretty empty. More people getting take-out than eating in. It was also pretty outdated but that was okay-just more casual-like a pizza place, not an itailian resurant. The service was friendly and fast. Started with salad which was...plain, but fresh. I had the lasagna which I loved and will have to go back for. My sister had the pesto pasta which she thought was really good but not great. Place was clean. I liked it. I thought it was refreshing to go to a plac... read more

I don't know about this place. – The service was good. The decor, come on it is a low priced restaurant. I would say it is better than a bunch of cheez set pieces like at the chain restaurants. The sauce tasted like green peppers which was more reminiscent of that served at a Baptist Church pasta dinner than what I'm used too. Did I mention that I grew up in St. Louis eating good Italian food. The pizza on the other hand was pretty tasty. If you go get the Carbonara or the Pizza, leave the meat sauce to somebody else.

Best Italian food in portland – This place has been around a long time. The pizza is awsome lots of sauce ,cheese and the toppings are piled high. The meat sauce is also very good. My personal faviorite is the Lasagna, Its some of the best lasagna around. Dont miss this one.

Good food, bad service – My wife and I have been to Giovanni's many times. We really like the food, and the atmosphere is cheezily pleasant. But, we've stopped going there because of the service. The last 3 or 4 times we've been there, we've had to wait more than 30 minutes just to place our order. Nobody seems to care that we are just sitting there, waiting to order. And what's odd is that we normally eat at odd times, when there is nobody else in the restaurant. After finally ordering, getting the food seems to take foreve... read more

Big Night Wannabe – This once-solid staple of Beaverton dining is hanging onto past glories, but is on the downward spiral toward "mall food". Refusing to let go myself, I keep going back in vain. You can only hope that the dated, plain decor belies hidden gems coming from the kitchen. Or that maybe there's a table of "distinguished Italian gentlemen" dining in the back who know something you don't. It's neither. The pizza, not deep-dish mind you, is bready, and good luck searching for cheese or sauce. While the sauce shows ... read more
