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!

This place is filthy, really bad! The staff is not pleasant. They made me feel like I was interupting their day. Had to ask for napkins, I got two industrial paper towels. It also not inexpensive. The sandwich as good, pizza was average. There are plently of other places to get a decent chicken parm sub and the parking is a challenge.

I come here regularly for their chicken salad sandwiches and it is always 10/10. The sweet couple who own it are wonderful and very personable as well.
