Giannotto's Pizza

"This restaurant is a true testament to the saying, "Don't judge a book by its cover." At first glance, its aged appearance and limited seating may give pause. However, the charm of this family-owned establishment quickly shines through, particularly once you taste their exceptional Italian cuisine. Operated by a dedicated father-daughter team, their commitment to quality is evident in every dish. Learning that they arrive early each morning to prepare fresh, homemade ingredients explained the unmatched flavor of their food. It's a hidden gem that’s absolutely worth visiting for an authentic Italian experience."

"The pizza was pretty good, you can tell it was made with love. The New York cheesecake must have been made with something else (lust?) because it was the best I’ve ever had. This is a must stop for a quick NY slice - crazy great to find it in Maui."

"Very friendly staff, we placed our order before the dinner rush. This is very thin crust, crispy edges. Asked and paid for extra mushrooms but received a light dusting only and received only half of the bread we ordered. 2 pizzas barely fed 5 adults. Cool vibes tho and great flavors."

"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."

"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!"
