Efficiency and Freshness at Gianna’s
If you’re looking for a spot that runs like a well-oiled machine, this is it. Gianna’s is a super busy place, but don’t let the crowd intimidate you. They have 2-3 cashiers working the front who manage to get you in and out remarkably quick.
The Experience
One of the coolest parts of the visit is the transparency. You can see through the windows as the entire staff works tirelessly, hand-crafting various components of their menu items. It adds a great “behind-the-scenes” feel to the meal and proves they aren’t cutting corners on prep.
The Pizza
The presentation of the pizza was top-tier—it looked great when it hit the table, loaded with toppings like black olives, sausage, peppers, and mushrooms.
The Sauce: You can tell they use quality ingredients; the sauce tasted incredibly fresh, which is often the make-or-break element of a good pie.
The Crust: The bake was solid, providing a nice golden-brown foundation for the mountain of toppings.
The Verdict
Here is where we hit a bit of a crossroads. While the quality of the ingredients was obvious, both my wife and I felt it was lacking flavor. It’s a bit of a head-scratcher because everything looked right and tasted fresh, but the “wow” factor in the seasoning just wasn’t there for us.
Maybe it’s just us—everyone’s palate is different—but we found ourselves wishing for a bit more punch to match the great aesthetics.
If you value speed, fresh ingredients, and a clean, bustling atmosphere, it’s definitely worth a try. You might find the flavor profile hits your mark better than it did ours!

Hubby and I stayed in Monterey for the weekend and were told to eat at Giannis by some friends. The food was good, but the pizza was AMAZING!! The crust was crispy at the bottom but fluffy and chewy and soft all at the same time. The toppings were delicious and fresh. Its been 3 weeks since we have been there and my mouth is drooling as I write this review and thinking about my combination pizza. We live 3 hours away and we want to take a day trip JUST to go eat pizza. Hahaha. The place isnt anything fancy, but its a cool spot to hang out, have drinks (both alcoholic and non), and eat some good food.

Ordered a large pepperoni pizza for takeout and it was more than enough for a family of four—super cheesy, gooey, and loaded with pepperoni. We placed the order about 20 minutes before closing, and they were still very accommodating. The ambience inside was cool and relaxed. Great food and great service.

We ordered the Andy’s Southwest Chicken Pizza (XL – $40), a salad ($15) and a fountain drink ($5). Andy’s Southwest Chicken Pizza had a really strong mozzarella cheese pull, a signature white tangy sauce and homemade spicy pico de gallo along with fresh ingredients like garlic, tomatoes and onion which made the pizza so irresistible. So incredibly good after so many years. Yum!

We ordered a few pizzas and dishes. Cauliflower crust margarita pizza was fantastic, full size meat pizza was really good, ravioli was tasty, clam linguine was ok – they didn’t b drain the pasta so it was sitting in a puddle of water. Breadstcks and marinara were delicious.

Giannis Pizza is always a place we like to eat at when we visit Monterey.
We decided to get a pizza on our first day of vacation, Sunday, October 26, 2025. They were very busy. We ordered a small pepperoni. When they brought our pizza, it was burned all around the edge. We decided to keep our disappointment to ourselves. It was delivered hot but not much flavor and of course burned.
We decided to give it another try on Thursday, October 30, ordering a small Meat-zilla. To our dismay, the pizza arrived burned on the edge and missing both pepperoni and beef.
Giannis Meat-zilla menu description:
A magnificent combo loaded with meat: Italian salami, pepperoni, Canadian bacon, Italian sausage, beef, and linguica.
This is not the same good pizza we have enjoyed in the past.

Atmosphere is amazing. Customer service could use some help. The manager was not welcoming and overwhelmed. The pizza we ordered did not come out as requested. Bread sticks were amazing.

Visiting my family. Stopped in was impressed with the awards on the wall. Ordered the Ravioli and it was ok, pizza came with a human hair cooked into it. Over all the food was ok, I am sure you can find better . The best part was the Bread sticks.

Gianni’s is a must when visiting Monterey. The pizza is made in house and the vibe impeccable. Bonus tip: Get the gelato too!

If your like pizza, this is a must go/ have, me & the wife split a small pizza, custom made with 1/2 pepperoni and the other was
Margherita and they were both great , the best way to tell if this place is any good was by the fact they were Kangaroo island, really hopping!
