Giovanni’s Pizza & Pasta

Excited to see an Italian food spot near Liberty Hill so I gave it a try this evening. We ordered two pasta dishes (shrimp scampi and basil penne pasta with chicken) for takeout. I was pleasantly surprised that both dishes were delicious and served as a large portion for $10 and $11 !! We will be back! This is a quick spot within a convenience store, with some seating to eat inside or you can take home the food.

I ordered a large one half Hawaiian and half pepperoni with mushrooms. It was good. Tastes similar to the ones they serve at the Alamo Drafthouse. Crust was flavorful and firm, definitely not thin crust, but not fluffy. Peperonni thickness was thin. I ordered it with extra cheese, cheese was warm, soft, very tasty and satisfying, not too gooey and not too greasy. Sauce was salty and not too sweet or with weird flavors/afterflavors, just plain good pizza sauce. I do not know which style is it but didn't seem like a New York Style Pizza that has to be eaten like a taco, these slices were normal sized. It's decent. I'm glad I tried it, sometimes I get cravings for the Alamo Drafthouse pizzas so this will suffice for the next one.

Cons: I ordered over the phone. Their service over the phone is not good. They didn't provide the total at the end of the call and just ended the call with an awkward "ok". Something like "we'll see you here in 15 minutes" would have worked. They also interrupted the process of taking the order to ask for name and phone number and then made me repeat the whole order. Need someone to coach then on call flows.
