Giovanni's Pizza - Santa Ana

It's a little loud around the kids gaming area But the food makes up for it If you want to try something really good try their meatball submarine Most excellent

First time ordering pizza from here and definitely the LAST. We have ordered pizza from the Mesa location at least 1-2 times a month for the last few years. Unbeknownst to us when we called the number that’s saved in our phones and ordered our pizza tonight that we were AUTOMATICALLY transferred to the location on upper State. They answer the phone so quickly that it’s impossible to understand that they’re NOT saying “Giovanni’s on the Mesa”. Not once did they reiterate that the pick up location is NOT the Mesa location knowing that calls are being automatically transferred, but especially since it’s only been a week since the Mesa location closed. Upon getting to the Mesa location, seeing the empty parking lot and finding the note on the door (closed as of 8/1), we call the number again to find out that we had to travel 3+miles to pick up our pizza instead of the .25 we usually do. Fine. We get the pizza and go home... TO FIND OUT THEY MADE IT WRONG!!! We asked for ALL pepperoni with half pineapple (on one side) and half olives (on the other). We repeated the order twice. They put half pepperoni on one side and half pineapple and olives on the other. Three strikes and you’re all the way out.

Disgusting. At least when I worked here my first ever job I couldn't eat what I saw being made. Everything was frozen some things sat out for days....plastic pizza rubbery. I cringe when I here people talk about Giovannis. Rustys pizza is a classic Santa barbara pizzeria and is 100x better.

Over the years this place has really gone down in the quality of food. We ordered a personal size pizza and large salad with grilled chicken and a side of jalapeno poppers. We received a slice of pizza with a small side salad I don't know why they served us oven roasted jalapeno poppers that taste like they came out of a Tyson box. And they forgot my order which we had to ask for which we had to ask for twice. The salad had cold chicken when we use to get it cooked. I hope they take in consideration to better there quality.

This place is amazing. We are only in town for the fair and wanted some pizza and Giovanni went above and beyond to make us have a excellent meal . We will most definitely be coming back here when we are in town. We'll worth every penny spent . I wish I could give more stars to this pizza place . Thank you
