I have been coming here since I was 6mo old so I could be a little bias! Hands down my favorite pizza!

Been visiting Bongiovanni's for decades with family, and now enjoying with grandson. Absolutely love this place and never leave disappointed (or hungry). Food and service are always great.

I loved this place when I was a kid. I moved away 23 years ago, and I was overjoyed to find it still open and still the same. The best bread with sesame seeds, excellent antipasta, delicious pizza. A little pricey, but very good.

Awesome, awesome place! Great for families and groups! They have a Banquet room for big parties with sports TV's, so those who hate missing the game due to family obligations (like my husband) don't have to. Lol. It is our family and friend's family's "go to" when we eat out together. They also have a great bar where they don't skimp on the good stuff. My husband loves to wait there for our take out orders...but don't tell anyone that part Lol Due to being a bit off of the beaten path, it is rarely very crowded and there is plenty of easy parking.
Interesting and yummy appetizer's, loaded pizza's, huge antipasto salad's, great sandwiches and tasty pasta with both red and white sauce. The best garlic bread too, especially if you like sesame seed French bread like I do.
There is also a more intimate dining room and a patio. Great place!

The food seems okay in my opinion, except for the obvious cheap cheeses that they use. Although they do use a generous amount on your pizzas. But the absolute worst thing about this place is that they outright lie about the prices. Go on Google maps, and the posted menu, and you will see that a small pizza with one topping is listed for $13 and change. You can expect to pay at least $4 more than what is listed. To me, this is enough reason not to patronize this place. It's obvious they want to fool you with a bait and switch scheme. If you're okay with being a stooge for their games, go ahead and patronize them, they're looking for exactly your type.
