With their signature breadsticks and a variety of pizzas, Gianni’s Pizza will keep the whole family fed. The checkered tablecloths give it a true pizzeria feel, and there’s a full bar for the adults. The gelato bar is so colorful, calliope music should be playing. Manager Andy Gambino promises fresh ingredients and a menu that has remained the same since its opening in the ’70s, a pride which the owner Chris Costa honors.
