Staff were great and friendly, told them I had a gluten allergy and they whipped out a manual to check which procedures to follow without putting any pressure on me, the best gluten free restaurant experience I've ever had. Food was to die for.

As I was well hungry, I was looking for a good pizza to take away. As earlier I had noticed another pizza place, I went back there, but once inside it didn't seem as good. I checked pizza places around, decided to check it out, and the warm welcome I got convinced me right away. Having a look at the menu confirmed that first excellent impression, with so much to choose from, plenty of pizzas. They also have quite many sides, salads too. And even desserts. They have vegan options, and clearly mark them, but also dairy free and gluten free ones. And a lot of dip options too (including fancy ones like cranberry) Even if I didn't eat there I also noticed that the place is cool too and another occasion I would totally eat there, lots of seats, and dim lights. I had a "serpent" pizza snack"  size, "lust deluxe" double size, and "crumbed camembert" as a side. I liked it all, and epecially the crumbed camembert with cranberry dip, my oh my, amazing! And the icing on the cake, staff is extra smiling & friendly Best pizza place in town, no doubt! Highly recommended!

It’s always difficult eating out when gluten free but there’s so many GF options!!! The girl working out the front really sold it to us! Platter was awesome but make sure to starve yourself before going as it’s a huge portion! Ha!

Came on 18th November 2023 for a birthday celebration, excellent service from initial phone booking to everything on the night, food was fantastic highly recommend the platters but for me the Vegetarian Pizza was absolutely delicious we thoroughly enjoyed our night here and thought it was good value for money. Great selection for our gluten free members of the group too, Thanks Fainting Goat for a great night😊

I’ve been told about this place for a long time and finally came here. The food was so good. I have intolerances to soy, gluten - and they accommodated my order. And, even though these items are on the menu, I did not feel unwell, like at many other places. So I will be coming back here. Friendly and excellent food. This is the best treat I’ve ever had. It tastes like Christmas new years and Valentine’s Day all on one bite.

Sadly thus place let me down, on the menu it says several items are Gluten Free, I'm Coeliac so need this to be true sadly it isn't, when I went to order they told me everything is cooked in the same oil etc, I was extremely angry, IF IT'S NOT GLUTEN FREE DON'T ADVERTISE IT AS SO ! Only call it GF when it actually is !!!! Learn about this please !!!

Tried 3 times to contact before posting this review but since noone wanted to call me back, here I am. I ordered 2 gluten free pizzas (at an additonal $4 per pizza) equating to an overall order of just under $80. When I got home (I live 45 mins out of town) and opened the box, I realised we had been, what I can only assume, given childrens pizzas instead of family size. I tried to call and speak to someone, I was told "gluten free is smaller and also doesnt look pretty so thats why". These Pizzas were $30 each and were less than half the size of their regular pizzas. When i tried to explain this to the person on the phone, I was brushed off and told the manager would call me. Noone has since called me. I also emailed twice (with pictures) noone has responded. We have been to Giovanni's a number of times and have never experienced such awful service, we are familiar with the regular size of their pizzas and were shocked that, you pay extra for gluten free bases to receive half a normal order.... A simple courtesy call back would have been sufficient to resolve the matter, but service doesn't seem to be that important to Giovanni's anymore.
