"What a gem! Came across this pizzeria driving through the town on a work trip and Instead of driving a few hours back home and eating, decision was made to eat locally...... My oh my. Did that decision pay off right! That pizza I had from Gio's Pizzeria must be sent from heaven. Perfect size. Fresh, delicious ingredients, overall excellent meal and service. Do your mouth and yourself a favor and dine in and enjoy the best experience."

"Best pizza in the area. Hands Down. Everyone has an off day and with new employees anything may happen. If you’re not happy, talk to the owner and you will be happy in the end. Again…Best pizza around!!"

"Another great experience at Gios. Typically our pizza go to place (best pizza in the area) but they've elevated their dinners to a new level, and we decided to give their sirloin steak dinner s try and did not dissapoint. We both opted for their mash pot (creamy not rustic) over the au gratin it comes with. Also Served with roasted broccoli, which was a nice al dente, not over done and lightly seasoned. Temp of steaks both cooked to a prefect med rare and a medium. Good quality, no undesirable unchewable parts. My only critique would be to add more seasonings to a crusted exterior. Martinis were great... espresso made with real espresso. French martinis perfectly balanced."

"I lost my wallet and was only buying a peace tea, but the woman at the counter offered to buy me a slice of pizza. Great place with great people, and the pizza was phenomenal."

"I stopped in as I was driving through the area for work. I was not disappointed. The owner took my order and was very polite. I got the Buffalo Bill. Incredible. Lightly toasted sub roll with the perfect amount of tenders, buff sauce, and blue cheese. The slice options looked amazing too though. Getting a few of those next time. Keep crushin it."

"Edit as if 4/19. Pizza is still amazing but the cashier a young lady,super nice but was grabbing pizza with bare hands after handling cash. No hand washing in between. Let me tell you about this hidden gem. The pizza is deliciously amazing. The General Tso's pizza blew my mind. The dough is crispy and pillowy in the right places. Every time I go to Hampden Memorial Park, that will be my to go spot. Drinks are also delicious. Friendly staff as well."

"Small size actually feel quite large compared to other places, making it a great value. You get more than you expect in terms of taste, the prices are also reasonable. The pizza crust here is thin, not thick like other places, so it doesn't feel heavy or overwhelming. It’s an ideal choice for those who prefer a lighter, more flavorful pizza without feeling too full or weighed down."

"Local mom & pop pizza shop. Good selection of pizza slices ready for heat N eat. Be warned, the slices are very big and loaded with toppings. Cheese had a good blend of cheese and tangy sauce. Buffalo Chicken is a twist on the hot wing classic. The other bird based treat is a spicy variation of General Tso's chicken. Bar and dining area inside, outdoor tables are added in the spring and summer. Friendly and helpful staff."
