Giovanna's Pizza

Welcome to Giovanna's Pizza

When you step through the doors of Giovanna's Pizza at 5468 Perkiomen Ave in Reading, Pennsylvania, you're not just entering another pizza restaurant – you're becoming part of a family tradition that has been serving the Reading community with authentic Italian flavors and genuine hospitality for years. As the owner of this beloved local establishment, I'm proud to share our story with you and invite you to experience what makes Giovanna's Pizza truly special.

Our Story

Giovanna's Pizza was born from a simple dream: to bring the authentic taste of traditional Italian pizza to Reading, Pennsylvania. Named after my grandmother Giovanna, who immigrated from Southern Italy with nothing but her treasured family recipes and an unwavering determination to create something beautiful in America, our restaurant represents generations of culinary passion and dedication to quality.

Growing up in my grandmother's kitchen, I learned that great pizza isn't just about the ingredients – it's about the love, patience, and respect for tradition that goes into every single pie. Giovanna taught me that the secret to exceptional pizza lies in the details: hand-selecting the finest tomatoes, using only the highest quality mozzarella, and allowing our dough to rise naturally for the perfect texture and flavor. These lessons became the foundation of everything we do at Giovanna's Pizza.

When we opened our doors in Reading, our mission was clear: to create a place where families could gather, friends could reconnect, and everyone could enjoy pizza made the way it should be – with care, authenticity, and the finest ingredients available. Every day, we honor Giovanna's legacy by maintaining the same standards of excellence she instilled in our family recipes.

Our Commitment to Quality

At Giovanna's Pizza, we believe that exceptional food begins with exceptional ingredients. That's why we source our ingredients from trusted suppliers who share our commitment to quality and freshness. Our pizza dough is made fresh daily using a time-honored recipe that has been passed down through our family for generations. We never rush the process – our dough is allowed to rise naturally, developing the complex flavors and perfect texture that make our pizza crust truly outstanding.

Our sauce is prepared using vine-ripened tomatoes, carefully selected herbs, and traditional Italian seasonings. We blend each batch by hand, ensuring consistency and flavor in every spoonful. The mozzarella cheese we use is sourced from premium dairy producers, guaranteeing that creamy, rich taste that melts perfectly on every slice.

We take pride in preparing each pizza individually, hand-stretching the dough and carefully layering each ingredient to create the perfect balance of flavors. Whether you're ordering our classic Margherita, loaded with fresh basil and premium mozzarella, or trying one of our signature specialty pizzas, you can taste the difference that quality ingredients and careful preparation make.

Our Menu

While pizza is our specialty and passion, Giovanna's Pizza offers a complete dining experience with a diverse menu that celebrates Italian cuisine. Our pizza selection includes traditional favorites like pepperoni, sausage, and mushroom, as well as gourmet options featuring premium ingredients like prosciutto, artichoke hearts, and sun-dried tomatoes.

Beyond pizza, we offer a variety of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, and pasta dishes that showcase the versatility and richness of Italian cooking. Our garlic knots are baked fresh throughout the day and have become a customer favorite, while our antipasto salad features the finest imported meats, cheeses, and vegetables.

For those seeking heartier fare, our pasta dishes are prepared with the same attention to detail as our pizzas. From classic spaghetti and meatballs to creamy fettuccine Alfredo, each dish is prepared to order using traditional techniques and authentic recipes.

Community Connection

Being part of the Reading community means more than just serving great food – it means being a gathering place where neighbors become friends and memories are made. Over the years, we've had the privilege of serving multiple generations of families, watching children grow up and eventually bring their own children to enjoy our pizza. These relationships are the heart of what we do, and they remind us every day why we're passionate about our work.

We're proud to support local schools, sports teams, and community events throughout Reading and the surrounding areas. Whether it's providing pizza for fundraisers, sponsoring little league teams, or simply being a place where families can celebrate life's special moments, Giovanna's Pizza is committed to being an active and positive presence in our community.
