Giovanni's Ristorante & Lounge

This is officially my new fav pizza joint in the Parksville/Qualicum area. Best cheese pull in town! Also, the service was outstanding - very friendly and attentive. Whether you choose to sit in the lounge, patio, or dining room the ambience is cozy, quaint, and inviting. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Pizza was to die for. Perfectly cooked ingredients were delicious and high quality. Do yourself a favor and order from this place. Soooo good!!

Left Tofino and was on the way back to the ferry terminal in Nanaimo and had lots of time to kill so we checked out Qualicum. Got hungry and drove past this place and decided to give it a try and I'm happy we did!
My wife's pasta was delicious and the pizza was one of the best I've had. Will definitely be back when we go back to the Island. Definitely a gem.

No pictures, but amazing pizza! Deep dish, loaded with toppings and lots of cheese. Vegetarian, deluxe, meat lovers, cheese...and the ham and pineapple with mushrooms was the most popular from our group of 7 adults and 2 kids. 5 medium pizzas - and almost 2 left over!

Visited today with 5 family members and of course, had to order the best pizza on Vancouver Island! Try the beef, onion, and fresh tomato pizza. As always, we received excellent service and enjoyed every single bite and sip. Already looking forward to our next trip! Highlight of our travels for sure. 👍

Pizza us great!
Marsala veal not so much
No flavor, scant sauce but no flavor
Disappointed …

Great deep dish pizza

Best pizza I’ve had in years !!! Pizza had lots of toppings and the crust was excellent. Definitely order from there again.

Love this place.

This was a lovely little spot. The server was sweet and bubbly and added to our dining experience. I was surprised that the menu was mainly pizza but really enjoyed the one I chose...pesto chicken. I had foccacia bread and caesar salad to start. My partner had caprese salad and spaghetti bolognese. He enjoyed it. To finish, we shared the chocolate mousse. We sat outside and enjoyed the night air. If we are in Qualicum again, we will come back.

Arrived at the restaurant at 7:19pm and the server said they were closed for dinning in because the kitchen closed at 7:30pm. Then why don’t you update your time on Google (it says ‘close at 8pm’), so people wouldn’t drive all the way to find out that the kitchen actually closes 41minutes early than your commitment.
