Meatballs served in spagettio tasting sauce. Garlic bread is an under seasoned literal hoagie bun. Do not recommend.

I ate here about a month ago, and wasn’t impressed. After reading the latest Dept. of Agriculture inspection report, I will NEVER eat here again. I’m just going to copy and paste the inspection report here for anyone thinking about patronizing this establishment.Giovanni’s Pizza 1001 N 19th St., Allentown Compliance: Out Violations: 15 The Person in Charge does not have adequate knowledge of food safety in this food facility as evidenced by this non-compliant inspection.Bread was observed on top of refrigerator in the prep area. Empty boxes were placed directly on top of the bread. The contaminated portion of the bread was discarded. –Food in the refrigerator was stored with no covering. Ensure all foods are stored with a covering.Plastic bowl was being used as a scoop in dry seasoning. Scoops must have a handle that can sit above the top of the food.Observed wet wiping cloths in cookline area, not being stored in sanitizer solution. Ensure all wiping cloths are stored in sanitizer solution.Frozen sausages observed thawing in standing water in the three-bay sink, which is not an approved thawing method. Use an approved thawing method such as under cool running water, in a cold hold unit, or in the microwave for immediate use.No time/temperature control for safety (TCS)foods were date marked. Date mark all time/temperature control for safety foods held for more than 24 hours. These foods may be kept for up to 7 days, including the day the foods were prepared.Pizzas are left on the counter and use time in lieu of temperature without written procedures/documentation of how long the product is out. Document facility process for use of time in lieu of temperature.Cakes were being offered for sale that did not have any label on them. Label these items with common name of product, ingredient list, and any allergens.The staff do not use available test strips to check the chlorine sanitizer concentration. Use test strips to check the concentration of the sanitizer.Chemical sanitizer was not being used on equipment or dishes after being washed and rinsed. Staff were instructed on how to set up a sanitizing solution and proceeded to use it for cleaning within the facility. Always prepare a sanitizing solution to use in the wash, rinse and sanitizing process.A utility sink or curbed cleaning facility with a floor drain is not provided in the food facility. Facility reported dumping mop water outside. Install utility sink. Dispose of mop water in the sanitary sewer by flushing down the toilet until utility sink is installed.Women’s toilet room is not provided with a covered waste receptacle for sanitary napkins. Obtain a lid for the waste receptacle.Personal items such as a purse was stored on food prep items rather than in a separate area. Ensure personal items are stored in a separate area.Parakeet in a cage observed on the premise of the food facility in the prep area. *Parakeet was removed immediately. Clean and disinfect area.Mops are not being hung to air dry. Hang all mops to air dry.This. Is. Disgusting. On. So. Many. Levels.

The food was really good especially the fried ravioli appetizerIf i am being honest though 90% of the reason i want to make this review is to commend our delivery driver, i didnt get her name, but she got her fast and was really sweetAnd admittedly I 100% failed at trying to ask for her number, social awkwardness is a pain i guess.Oh the cheese fries are great too!
Very nice family run business great food good prices.

It used to be 5 stars and the best pizza in Allentown until... They reduced the amount of dough by half. It's super thin and as a result excessively floppy. They're also doing something different with the cheese. It's watery, drips everywhere and tastes odd. Tried 3 different times hoping the changes weren't permanent. They are.?

fantastic! threw a dart on the Allentown pizza map on the way to the airport and was delighted. i ordered a medium “slightly extra” cheese pizza with a couple of Cokes, fed 3 1/2 people comfortably- price was more than reasonable and the service was world class. highly

Best pizza joint in Allentown. Im meant to review this a few months ago. I had a veggie pizza pie it was EXCELLENT ??. I also ordered some baked dishes before. I ordered their Lasagna, PRIMO??and I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo ?? and it was the bomb. I don't care how much I'm spending here because ITS THAT DAMN GOOD, And their delivery service is fast and friendly. You won't be disappointed.
