After having a not-so-great pasta dish a decade ago, I never went back. Recently, a friend posted a mouth-watering pic on IG which is what brought me back. The influence of social media!
ATMOSPHERE:
I don't remember the inside being so "rustic", lol. As you enter, all you see is the kitchen. I guess that could be a good thing as it allows you to see the area your food is prepared in and how clean it is. There were a few high tops inside and outdoor seating that is shared with other eateries. Parking is either on-street, in a small lot fronting the building's east side, or the municipal lot behind the building accessible via Market Street.
MENU:
Salads, cold & hot subs, pasta, pizza, calzone, desserts.
FOOD:
Philly Cheese Steak - $7.50
I added grilled onions, mushrooms and green peppers for an additional 75-cents each. This was the social media picture that got me back in to Giannotto's. After having a very good version at Pat's in Philadelphia, I was excited to try this recipe. Dare I say I liked it more than "The King of Steaks'" version?! While not as gargantuan as Pat's, Giannotto's sub was very tasty and juicy, with real cheese (not liquid) and the softest bread I've consumed yet. Absolutely, positively, highly recommended!
Deluxe Pizza - $26.95
All pies are thin crust and 16" in diameter. The Deluxe included pepperoni, sausage, olives, tomato, onion, green peppers which we nixed (not my choice) and added mushrooms for $2.50. This was a good pizza with a savory sauce and fresh toppings but not outstanding due to the thin crust which has no "wow-factor", no matter who makes it. IMO, a thick, chewy crust just makes the pizza.
SERVICE:
I called in my order and it was ready and waiting for me when I arrived. Two friendly male workers assisted me. I even got a "Thank you for ordering" from one of them. It's nice to receive appreciation especially nowadays when many workers could give a hoot.
OVERALL:
That Philly Cheese Steak simply warrants two additional review stars. It was that good.
So good! We recently moved here and I’ve been craving a good cheesesteak for months. One of the best ones I’ve ever had! Food was served fast and hot. Employees were super friendly. We will be back!
This place is amazing! Wonderful food and a great location, but if you’re under the age they say you have to be to enjoy it they just won’t let you in. Now that’s nice if you’re an adult who hates kids, but if you have a kid with you and they tell you no way no how, to me that’s just plain old discrimination based on age. No thank you. Enjoy the haters. 💖🌎🤙 we’ll go somewhere more inclusive. 😘
The food here is very good, freshly prepared and very reasonably priced. It's a small curbside venue in Wailuku town, with a few outdoor tables as well as some indoor seating. Sandwiches & salads are very good, and the pizza is old school delicious. We found the staff to be extremely kind and quite capable of preparing delicious food. Call ahead for take away orders or just walk in and enjoy it there. Definitely get a canoli!
Stopped in for a quick bite at lunch. They sell pizzas by the slice or whole pies. Warning… no seating inside right now. You have to either eat in your car or at one of the outside tables on the sidewalk.
Pizza crust was great and filling. Cheesesteak was also good.
Loved our dinner here!!! White Pizza was great! Wings were crispy and perfect as was the chicken on the fettuccini alfredo The meatball sub was really good and we sat outside catching a bit if the sunset over Iao.
Stopped in here looking for pizza and got so much more. The owner and his daughter were both there to serve us and share some great stories. We had a veggie pizza and the meatball sub. Pizza was thin and crispy just how we like it. The meatball sub was the 2nd best one I've ever had (1st place goes to mom lol) Some tips: park across the street a long the sidewalk, have your vax cards handy, and don't challenge his daughter to a pull-up competition. You'll loose.
Giannotto's Pizza is the best that we've had on Maui by far! David is simply fantastic... we felt like family from the moment we entered. The atmosphere is great, the price is right, and the food is fresh and intentional. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was definitely one of our favorite places on the whole island! Wish we had found it earlier in our visit because we for sure would have gone back if our schedule allowed. The owner and his daughter were so nice and welcoming. We felt like guests visiting their home - they made sure everything tasted good and that we were satisfied! The food was amazing- we loved everything we tried. We ordered chicken pesto pizza, pepperoni pizza, chocolate cheesecake, tiramisu, and the donuts - seriously all SO GOOD. Everything was homemade from scratch. I'm telling you if you're visiting Maui you do not want to miss this amazing food and these awesome people!
Traditional New Jersey pizza shop. Legit with nice fun atmosphere you would expect and desire in your local pizza shop. Sandwiches look great too. Give them a try.
Delicious and authentic tasting Italian food at very reasonable prices!! The guys behind the counter were extremely friendly and accommodating... the tomato sauce is very nice and reminds me of my moms homemade sauce .... I had the chicken parmigiana and I liked that it was prescribed ... parking on street
Great portion & delicious pizza! Cool plaza where you can eat your slice or the pizza is perfect to go for a night in. Friendly service
THE yummiest panzerotti I have ever had in my life. I would love to go back to Maui just to eat it again
Very good pizza...one of the best I have had in Maui. I have yet to try other menu offerings but look forward to it.
This place is on-point. The owner and staff are always so friendly and attentive, consistently great service and a tasty menu that never fails to satisfy! I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Gianotto's. I want a cannoli just writing this.
This place is very authentic and made to order. Definitely found this place and highly recommend it to everyone looking for pizza and other great items in the menu.
I got the spicy shrimp and my husband the lobster Alfredo. Both were great! Full of flavor. The shrimp and lobster both were cooked perfectly. Also the owner was super friendly.
The best cheese sticks ever ! Huge portions and great prices! Pizza really good oven baked and thin !
