I had the worst poisoning of my life from here a few weeks ago. The staff is friendly, and the pizza is good, but definitely never coming back after that experience.

This has been my favorite pizza place for 10+ years (back when the funghi was LOADED), but something recently has changed. The pizza itself is still great, but it just seems like there are so many rules. Today I tried to use a gift card I got for my birthday, and found out it only works for online orders. So I went to order online, and I can only order whole pies, not slices. Ok, fine. They do half and half. But then you can only order certain kinds of pizza together for half and half. Ok, fine. I go through the whole order flow, then I forget to enter my gift card code, and try to cancel and re-order. They have trouble cancelling the order. Inside the store it takes ~30 minutes to figure it out. That’s fine.
In total with tax, tip, and the online ordering fee, even though we were picking up, it was ~$50 for pizza we didn’t really get to choose. But the cherry on top was when I asked for some olive oil, they tried to charge me for that too. Charging for olive oil crosses the line for me, that wasn’t the case here for years before and I have never seen another restaurant do that in my life.

Had this at a party and it was so good we asked the host where they got it. We’re from NYC and have been looking for good pizza since we moved here. This is it! Had the funghi.

If you have a palette, or taste buds, the pizza here might give you an aneurysm. I bought 2 slices, more than $11 for 2 slices, and found the pizza to taste like it was 2 days old and then reheated in a nuclear reactor. Pizza to me is the ultimate staple good food, extremely easy to get a mediocre version. It’s almost skillful how a place like this can produce such a terrible slice of pizza. I don’t have much hope for their full pizzas either, at $28 for a 14”. It’s crazy what a quaint space in a busy neighborhood will get you in terms of the perception of quality, but I can assure you anyone professing the quality of the pizza here either had their taste buds surgically removed or is recovering from COVID.

The mushroom pizza was just bad.

Found a bug in our salad. We called the restaurant and they did not seem to care at all.

We doordash-ed from this restaurant and there was a bug (ear wig) in our arugula salad. Even though I got my refund through Doordash, I still called the restaurant to inform them of the contamination in their salad so they wouldn’t serve more and the response was very disheartening. The person on the phone said “ok” and then hung up.
Decent slice though it could have used a little more sauce.

Love Gioia Pizza, but the key is to get it by the slice. They heat it up for you and it comes out perfectly crunchy, which is what makes it so good. I’ve tried ordering a whole pizza before and it just didn’t have that same crunch, so I wouldn’t recommend going that route. By the slice though, it’s easily my favorite pizza in the city.

Light pizza slices. Caesar salad could use a little more dressing but the fried anchovies it comes with are great.
