Gianni's Deli and Pizza

There are 4 chairs at a counter…

Just try the slice of cheese and you will FALL IN LOVE WITH THE FLAVOR!!!

My first time here I just fell in love. And with the most simple of their products. A slice of cheese.

These are REAL CHEFS HERE!

This place is a traditional pizza shop, they have been around for ever, I rate local pizza shops regularly and I will always vouch for them the food is fresh and they do things the right way here.

Pizza was average at best. Soft, not really cooked thoroughly.
Not worth how much it cost. I had a grinder here last year and it was good, so the three stars are for that. But the pizza here just isn't good.

Great slice! Discovered this while doing errands in Needham. Fantastic pizza. Old school - delicious crust, fresh ingredients. Lovely owners - just a great place to go for a perfect slice. Would also definitely order from here.

Gianni’s Deli is the kind of place you find once and then can’t stop going back to. The food is consistently incredible—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Whether you’re grabbing a sandwich, a salad, or one of their daily specials, you’re guaranteed to leave happy (and full).

What really sets Gianni’s apart, though, is the service. The staff is beyond friendly—genuinely kind, welcoming, and always willing to go the extra mile. You can tell they love what they do, and that positive energy makes the whole experience even better.

Great food, amazing employees, and a warm, local vibe that makes you feel right at home. If you’re in Needham and haven’t been to Gianni’s yet, you’re seriously missing out.

Absolutely love Gianni’s Deli! The place is always spotless, and the staff is incredibly friendly and efficient—service here is top-notch. The pizza? Hands down some of the best around—crispy crust, perfect cheese-to-sauce ratio, and always fresh out of the oven. But what really sets Gianni’s apart are the subs. These are the best subs in the area, no question. Packed with flavor, quality meats, and always made to order. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick lunch or grabbing dinner for the family, Gianni’s never disappoints. Highly recommend!

Legit.

Used to be a great place for a chicken parm or an Italian Sub. My friend and I went recently because we were working in the area and the food has gonna way downhill. The chicken parm was bland and rubbery and for a bag a chips a large chicken parm and a 16oz bottle of soda it was nearly $22. My friend had a couple slices of pizza and his was almost 32 bucks. Not worth it anymore I'm my opinion.

Really a great pizza. I’m a New Yorker living in Wisconsin for many years so when I get an opportunity to eat old style NY style pizza I take it. This little takeout place had the literal mom and pop in the back. The crust was perfect, just the right amount of sauce and cheese. Salad was fresh. And all in less than 15 minutes. Try this pizza if you’re craving NY style thin crust.
