Nice place. You order everything at the counter and then they bring it to the table. The pizza I felt were a bit small for the price. Very tasty though. Lasagna was nice, though my little guy wasn't thrilled with the meat. I thought it was nice. Bread sticks were good.People watching was great, bathrooms were a little off the mark. All things said, I would give them another try next time I'm in town.

A super popular location on Lighthouse for good reason. Even with higher prices the tables are always full because the pizzas are delicious and with a line out the door for pickup you know it's a local favorite. If you do come inside be sure to round the corner to the bar seating in back near the restrooms and private party seating to have some beers and hard seltzers on draft or special cocktails and wine. There's more than pizza on the menu and plenty of sharables. I recommend bringing friends and ordering drinks and appetizers as it can take a while for your pizzas to get to the table during the dinner rushes on the weekend.

I was vacationing with the family and kids are picky. So we all finally agreed on pizza I and stumbled on this place I looked it had over 2k reviews. So we said let's try it. Boy we walked in the place was clean. I and saw the Gelato, and them tossing the pizza dough, oh. Oy and the cheese breadstick my mouth just salivating. And the Italian theme dining room. Wow this place rocks got 2 pizzas a small dope pepperoni and a large Gianni special and some breadstick. We sat down and it wasn't long until the pizza came out. They were cooked to perfection and they were very delicious ? ingredients tasted fresh the pizza crust was the best I've had and the sauce wow. Normally I get heart burn after I eat pizza but I didn't get it after eating here. I will definitely come back when I'm in town again. PS COME TO SACRAMENTO AND OPEN UP ONE HERE. Thank you all the staff who worked Monday July 25th for a amazing experience.

Very good pizza ?, medium thick crust and no need to leave the edge behind. Double pepperoni, bit salty and some grease, very tasty. Ok service and prices, line to order gets long quickly but folks can get the order placed fairly fast. Takes about 15 minutes for the pizza to arrive, if you get there early.

I had heard good things about this restaurant and wanted to try it. I Ordered online pretty quickly and then about 20 minutes later I picked it up. While at the register I saw the most delicious looking bread sticks so I ordered one of those. I should have ordered more! I asked for extra sauce and for it to be extra crispy and that's exactly what I got and everything was delicious! I will definitely be going back and I highly recommend.

Heard about this spot through the grape vine and it didn't disappoint. The pizza was amazing. The breadsticks were delicious as well and the hot sandwich tasted so good! The Gelato was a bonus as well! Definitely would stop here again but get there as soon as it opens because the place gets busy fast.

Highly recommend Gianni’s. Just ate here two days in a row it was so good. The pizza, salad, lasagna and breadsticks are all to die for.

Very friendly staff. Help full hint’s for our order. Food is so tasty ? . We enjoyed the Italian food and the Italian atmosphere ??. Good food portion .

Came here on a recommendation and was disappointed.Gianni’s is average at best. For everyone saying it’s amazing, you clearly have not had good pizza before.Bland flavor profile- lacked basics such as garlic, salt, and basil. Ingredients did not seem fresh. Dough was tough, a sign of over-kneading.Overpriced for the quality of food received.Staff was nice.
