It’s not just about the pizza, you know. For readers to award Best Pizza Place, there has to be more. It would be great, for example, if there was a really cool bar space tucked into the back where parents could chill with a cocktail. Ooh – and a case of colorful gelato for after. And the place would have to be family-friendly, but also have a room people could reserve. Plus, it’s not really a classic pizza place unless there are red and white tablecloths, the kind you could play a game of checkers on. Well, the readers got it right. Gianni’s has all of that.
