★★★☆☆ I had a chicken burger that wasn’t fully cooked, but they corrected their mistake by apologizing and giving me a another free burger and drink. Posted on May 11, 2021

★★★★☆ Awesome food and people. please remove the ugly and distracting huge tvs. They are so annoying Posted on March 11, 2018

★★★★☆ Previously San Giovanni Pizza this restaurant is now called iCuisine. More expansive menu and the interior has been tastefully redone. Appears to be new owners as well, who are giving great service. I recently ordered a couple pizzas and when I went to pickup I wanted to change my order. It was entirely my fault but the owner made a fresh new pizza for me even though the other 2 were already made. Wonderful service. I would suggest the old website be taken off though since that added to my confusion. Posted on July 12, 2017

★★★★★ Really good food. I go often with a friend. My friend isn't much into pizza...but one time I noticed that they have salads which I pointed out to him...He LOVES their salad. The staff are always friendly. There are many non-Muslims who go there and they are always treated with the same respect. Posted on February 15, 2017

★★★★☆ Newly renovated with bright interiors and very clean and tidy. The owner, Zafar, was very nice and was interacting with all his customers. The food was was good quality. Their BBQ chicken pizza was pretty good with a good crust. Their Soltani kabob platter was well presented and was a good sized portion. Chicken was moist and flavorful, but the beef Soltani could have been a bit more moist and with more flavor. Overall, a pleasant experience. Posted on May 6, 2016

★★★★★ Visiting from Vancouver Canada. Very good pizza. Posted on November 18, 2015

★★★★☆ One of the friend talked about their great food so we decided to try it out and he was not wrong. Food was fresh and delicious. We tried their wings (both mild and spicy) and two pizzas (tandoori pizza and Giovanni special pizza). All the dishes were really tasty and people/owner were friendly too. Great place. We will go again...and again! Posted on December 29, 2014

★★★★★ Excellent place!!! My family once a week place to go and eat Spicy BBQ Chicken Pizza. Always great food keep it up brother!! Posted on December 7, 2014

★★★★★ Love the meat lovers pizza with jalapeños! I've also tried the pastrami sandwich and it was amazing. Posted on November 16, 2014

★★★☆☆ I have been here once. I ordered a slice of pizza with a topping and I ordered one of the salads with I think chicken in it. I have atleast one friend that likes the pizza here. I personally prefer another restaurant in Brea for their pizza. I guess it just depends on the person. The service was friendly. Posted on July 22, 2014

★★★★★ Amazing meat lovers pizza! Its simply fireworks in your mouth. It feels so good to have a flavorful pizza with all the halal meats as toppings. My favorite pizza place. Posted on September 21, 2013

★★★★★ Excellent tasting freshly made pizza. The owner was very friendly. Would definitely recommend. Posted on September 1, 2013

★★★★★ Good pizza best service Posted on April 22, 2013

★★★★☆ Very good fresh tasting pizza and salads. We would definitely go back again. The place is also clean and the tiles on the walls are a cool touch. Posted on June 15, 2012

★★★★★ Well worth a visit.. excellent pizzas.. MashAllah Posted on May 18, 2012

★★★★★ Absolutely brilliant meat pizza's - again and again and again!!! Posted on February 27, 2012

★★★★★ I really liked this place. It tasted like home made food. Caesar salad is fresh. Meat lovers pizza was excellent. The only thing that wasn't that good is the meat balls spaghetti. Would go back again! Posted on February 9, 2012

★★★☆☆ Nice tasting Pizzas, owners are polite. Posted on January 9, 2012

★★★★☆ Decent price, decent food :) Not a huge fan of pizza and meat together but their philly cheese is why I go :) Posted on December 12, 2011

★★★★☆ It's a nice family run joint, reasonably priced and decent food. The guy knows how to use toppings on the pizza. Definetly one of the better halal pizzas I have had. Posted on November 11, 2011

★★★★★ I visited San Giovanni while in town for vacation. Literally the best pizza I have ever ate in my life. Went 2 times in one week! Suggest the meat lover pizza it is amazing. The owner is a Muslim his self and is really nice. Made my mother a hot cup of tea after we finished our lunch. Posted on July 18, 2011

★★★★★ My family and I were in Anaheim, Ca. going to Disney Land. We ordered two meat lovers pizza's and a Chef Salad. The pizza was soooo good! I think that was the first time I ate a halal meat lovers pizza. It had sausage, turkey, and sliced chicken breast. The seasoning was perfect. The crust was yummy. Would definitely go back again. This is the first Halal Italian Restaurant I've seen. We need more. Posted on May 19, 2011

★★★★☆ Good tasting pizza for a good price. Great deal for a lunch with gourmet quality pizza Posted on January 25, 2011

★★★★★ I am so glad the owners decided to add Halal to their sign and billboard! We were driving by (visiting from Texas), wanted Pizza, and saw the best sign a Muslim can see ... Halal Pizza! :-) Owner is a nice man and looked like a hard working family on a Saturday. Food was great. We tried the San Giovanni Pizza, MEAT Lasagna, a sandwich and CHICKEN Ceasar Salad. Nothing but great comments from the whole family. We wish you a lot of success, InshaAllah Posted on January 13, 2011

★★★★☆ The only place I come to when the kids want a meat lovers pizza. They now how to load up the toppings. Posted on January 3, 2011

★★★★☆ We had to wait not more than 15 minutes for our food. The pizza and lasagne were done to our liking. Will definitely return to this pizzaria when we are in town next time. Posted on December 25, 2010

★★★★☆ Very nice, family owned zabihah Italian food joint close to the little Palestine area of Orange County. We tried their pizzas and they were very good. Nice, friendly and relaxed ambiance. Prices are also modest. Seating arrangements are a little cramped but not too bad. You've got to check this place out. Posted on October 4, 2010

★★☆☆☆ Pizza was freshly baked, but they added too much cheese. Chicken wings did not smell good. Posted on October 3, 2010

★★★★★ 100% Zabiha (confirmed by owners) Family owned and operated by very very friendly Muslim family **BEST TURKEY SUB & BBQ PIZZA in town*** Pizzas (Greek/tandoori/bbq/peperoni and more), lasagna/pasta, hot & cold subs, spicy wings, and salads to name a few items. Food is always great, especially the bbq pizza & they also have the BEST TURKEY SUB around!!! Great food and comfortable atmosphere always. Call ahead dine-in orders are welcome. You can even request a half-baked pizza to-go and and put it in the freezer at home for later. I defrost and bake them at home, that way we always have tasty zabiah pizzas at home Posted on September 9, 2010

★★★★★ great pizza! The wings arent as good anymore though, they have more of a desi/tikka masala flavor which doesn't "fly" with "wings" in my opinion. Pizza rocks! Posted on September 6, 2010

★★★★★ Thank you for a great Pizza will go back . had the Anaheim ,Raviolis ,and don't forget the Lasagna its all good and he is a good Muslim brother Posted on August 8, 2010

★★★★☆ All pizzas are freshly made in front of you, and are of good quality. We ordered the meat lovers pizza, and it was very good. We also had other pasta items which were good. In all, we paid about $25 for the pizza, pasta and soft drinks. The owners were very friendly Posted on August 3, 2010

★★★★★ The food was fantastic!! We enjoyed everything from the pizzas to the sub sandwhiches. Posted on July 12, 2010

★★★★☆ went here while visiting disneyland. they offer pizzas, pastas, as well as hot & cold sandwiches. we ordered a few pizza's & pasta. staff was friendly and gave us a place to pray in the back. Posted on May 25, 2010

★★★★★ My favorite halal place to eat. The pizza is made while you wait so that's why it takes long but it's well worth it. The service is friendly and the owner a practicing Muslim, I see him at jummah all the time. Posted on January 13, 2010

★★★★★ This place is under new management, and I must say that the quality of food has improved tremendously. It's now become my favorite zabihah pizza restaurant. The tandoori chicken pizza is a new item and it tastes really good. It has tandoori chicken, mint, onions, bell peppers, the perfect crust, the right amount of cheese. It's a must try! Posted on April 1, 2009

★★★★☆ We went in after a long day, very hungry. The owner is very friendly and a practicing muslim. The pizza was made in front of us and tasted delicious. The crust was perfect and the pepperoni was a great topping. We were very disappointed by the wings that everyone is raving about. They had a strange old-meat smell, maybe a bad batch.. We don't waste food but could not eat this item. We would go back again for the pizza if we were in town. Posted on March 19, 2009

★★★★★ the pizza is yummy and they are open late. I always go there after Disneyland or if I am around in Anaheim. Posted on January 23, 2009

★★★★☆ We visited this restaurant on a late night, and they were going to close soon - but the staff was so accomodating and friendly they still served us. the pizza was pretty good - everyone in our party enjoyed the food! Posted on January 6, 2009

★★★★★ Spicy chicken wings are to die for. Also the philli cheese steak sub, is great. Really really tasty food. Pizza does take a while, but you know what its halal, so be patient. Im strictly a halal eater, im just greatful this place is here. Posted on December 14, 2008

★☆☆☆☆ I have to be honest that people really over rate this place. Nothing is good about this place other than being halal. I have known this place for 2 years, I have been there 4 times. Every time I call to place an order for 1 pizza, they promise that it will be ready for me to pick up within 30 minutes, which is already a long time, but they never have it ready. They maybe busy, which is fine with me, I can wait for another 10 minutes or so, but I hate it when they lie to me and say "oh, you just ordered 5 minutes ago." The food is not very tasty either. A time after time I told myself that they might be busy, that is why it is not as good as many people rate it, but sorry I finally gave up on it. I truely recommend to all the muslim brothers and sisters to be honest about these things, other wise there will never be any improvements. Posted on December 6, 2008

★★★☆☆ We decided to try this place since it was pretty much the only halal place open at 10pm in the area. Everywhere else seems to close so early! Anyhow, we ordered the Spaghetti & Meatballs, BBQ Chicken Wings and BBQ beef Sub. The spicy chicken wings were awesome, the sub was tasty, but the spaghetti and meatballs were a bit of a disaster. Not really sure what kind of ingredients went into the meatballs, but they were definately not ground beef. Was not at all what I expected. However, I'm sure the subs and pizza's taste great, I would definately go back to try something different if in the area again. Owners were very friendly and said they hope to expand into the LA area once the Anaheim location takes off! Hope so!! Posted on November 3, 2008

★★★★★ San Gios after the ownership change is still great. The two brothers Malik and Yasir are very friendly and did a great job ensuring everything on the menu is the same as before. I've been a customer for 2 years and plan to continue to visit for the great pizza, wing, and sandwiches. Posted on September 29, 2008

★★★★★ "This is where you want to eat. A restaurant that’s friendly and unpretentious... and some great menu's to order your food from... i loved what i eat i had pepperoni pizza and a ground beef mann it tested sooo good the gorund beef was nice n juice they made it just the way i like it and the pepperoni pizza was the best me and my couple of friends eat like the 2 large pizzas it was awsome great place great people.." Posted on September 13, 2008

★★★★★ Assalaamu 'Alaykum. I've been to San Giovanni's multiple times in the past but never posted a review. After my most recent visit, I felt compelled to post a review due to the ownership change. I used to have two problems with San Giovanni's: food preparation time and the heat in the store. ALHAMDULILLAH BOTH OF THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN RESOLVED! We ordered a couple pizzas and they were literally out within 15 minutes. Also, the A/C was on full blast the whole time we were there so we didn't feel like we were sitting in a Pakistani Pizza spot (no offense to my country, but it can get too hot for comfort there). Excellent prices, expansive menu, no complaints whatsoever. Posted on September 12, 2008

★★★★★ I love this place, best pizza in town, never leave feeling hungry, good atmospher, great price, good service, great food, I eat here often.New owner told us that they are about to add new stuff .can't wait to see that....Now ac is on all the time.. thank you... Posted on September 11, 2008

★★★★★ me and my frinds group was there for iftaar both brothers were so friendly thay have more help now no charge for any of the iftaar stuff like dates water and they give us tea and pink milk call faluda was tastee and pakora... and we all know fodd is always the best normal.last best part is that they have arrrangments for SALAH . Posted on September 11, 2008

★★★★★ I recently visited San Giovanni under the new managers. The a/c was turned on. The service was very good and the food was very good also! However, I hope they can get creative and add some more items on the menu like barbiqu diping sauce and french fries. Posted on August 20, 2008

★★★★★ The food was great, service was excellent, its a bit hot in there however it was great experince over all thank you! Posted on August 16, 2008

★★★☆☆ The new owners have changed the whole recipe for the food! it is not as good as the old owners, the spicy bbq chickin pieces are too big and nto cooked to perfection. the spicy bbq wings are not cooked well. They need to improve on maintaining the same flavor for the food! I probably won't consider going there as one of my top 5 places to eat! I hope the owners will consider this critism wiht positive attitude and work on making the food tasty not sloppy!! Posted on August 13, 2008

★☆☆☆☆ Its very hard to believe that the quality of food at a restaurant can suffer such steep decline in such a short time after change of ownership. I have been a reqular visitor going there atleast 3 times every week. I am severely disappointed at the changes this new mgmt has brought. Food was stale, tastless and portions reduced to half. Posted on August 7, 2008

★★★☆☆ New Ownership, I was hoping they remodeled the joint or power washed the place. No A/C, I was as hot as the spicy wings, The taste has definitely changed, but then again that is usually the case with new owners, Some things have stayed the same though, No soap in bathroom, tables are still greasy, but then again all this stuff never bothered me before, but the food made up for it with the old owners. I will give them another try, and if they fall short I will find a new spot to overeat at. Posted on August 6, 2008

★★★★★ We came 5 minutes before closing, and the owner was gracious, and without question, at the cost of his convenience, fulfilled our order. The food was awesome, and we will eat there everytime we are in the Anaheim area Posted on August 5, 2008

★★★★☆ food is great, owners are very nice and sweet. the roma pizza is in my opinion the best! Posted on July 18, 2008

★★★★★ I am sure everyone knows this place... come on how come you do not know San jovani Pizza...the best and most delicous pizza...so all I can say is this is the best Pizza I have ever had.....we go there a lot... kind of like San Jovani Pizza addicted if I may say....You know what is so good about it is that it is Halal Alhamdulillah.. Posted on April 16, 2008

★★★★★ Our family visits this eatery every time we are in southern CA. WE love the food, the price is reasonable, and the service is really friendly and nice. I highly reccomend this establishment. Posted on February 23, 2008

★★★★☆ The quality of the food is quite good. I've tried a couple of things on the menu and everything was good. And, on top of that, their prices are very reasonable. Recommended if you're in the mood for America/Italian food. Posted on January 28, 2008

★★★★★ I can't say anything but try the Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich and the chicken wings! ---To die for Posted on September 26, 2007

★★★★★ the food is amazing and the owners are really nice! I recommend this place! Posted on August 28, 2007

★★★★★ Mashallah. The san gio pizza is great. The chicken wings are pretty good as well. They have quite a bit on the menu such as chicken caesar salad. Their sandwiches are also really good. The owner is a very nice brother. The restaurant itself is not bad. Though you might need to clean the table yourself before u sit. I highly recommend this place. Food taste- 5 Food Variety - 5 Area - 4 Cleanliness - 3 Service (speed)- 3 Service (courtesy) - 5 Posted on August 15, 2007

★★★★★ The best halal pizza and pasta. Owner is so friendly that you feel like you know him for many years. We stay near Disneyland and was too tired to go out and eat and they delivery to our hotel. Very nice couple and highly recommended. Posted on July 23, 2007

★★★★★ 10 STARS YOU NEED TO GO HERE. IT HAS THE BEST PIZZA. Definetly try the Pizza called the san giovanni and the hot wings. They have the nicest staff and the best service. You need to go here. Posted on July 21, 2007

★★★★★ Having grown up in Chicago, I'm super picky with my pizza. I haven't like much of any pizza in the LA area until I came to this place (do note we don't eat in at places that serve alchol, so I haven't gone to many other pizza places). The owner and his wife are friendly and the food is absolutely fantastic, he uses great ingredients and his crust is really the best I've ever tasted. One of my favorite places in the OC. Posted on February 25, 2007

★★★★★ I have been there twice when I visited LA, and I had wonderful experience. Very friendly owners and very good pizza to me. Posted on December 3, 2006

★★★★☆ I love this place! The food is great and it is halal, too! Posted on November 26, 2006

★★★★★ this place is THE best for halal pizza and pasta! i'm hooked on it and love their bbq chicken pizza. their lasagna, chicken caesar salad, eggplant parmesan and meat lovers, san giovanni pizza and hawaiian are also delicious! owners are very nice and also provide space for prayer. wish they had more locations! Posted on November 14, 2006

★★★☆☆ The staff was very friendly with good service but the food was average. Posted on October 15, 2006

★★★★★ The BEST halal pizza place EVER! I staryed going here 8 months ago, and went every friday night for 2 Months! I still LOVE the food. have tried pretty much everything with meat on the menu and everything is delicious, and the owners are the nicest people you will ever meet! the most friendly service in california. Posted on August 12, 2006

★★★★★ Assalamu alaykum, Mashallah, the food here is excellent. My family and I really enjoyed the place. The ceasar salad was really good, they certainly don;t go light on the dressing; and the Giovanni Pizza was really really good. It had been a while since I enjoyed such good pizza. The service is friendly, the brother went out of his way to treat us well. However the area where the restaurant is located was not that good, but that does not affect my rating since they cannot control that. Though it is a little far from where we live, we would gladly visit them again when we are in the are. Posted on August 7, 2006

★★★★★ This is the BEST halal italian place I have been to. The owners are very friendly and the food delicious. A must-eat place if you are visiting Disney! I won't go to LA and not visit them. Posted on August 4, 2006

★★★★★ This place is GREAT....the food-especially the pizza- is excellent.....the owners are veryyy sweet and friendly.....i highly recommend this pizza joint to EVERYONE YOU MUST GO!!!!! Posted on July 22, 2006

★★★★☆ Very friendly brother and sister. The place may be improved but it is still good. I asked him to prepare Turkish style beef pizza (pide) on the phone. When we went there, we saw a cheese pizza with ground beef :) I explained him how to cook Turkish style pizza and he aggreed to make me one next time. Please ask him about Turkish style pizza so that it will enter the menu. Posted on April 7, 2006

★★★★★ Very friendly, great food and arcade area... Posted on February 23, 2006

★★★★★ the food is wonderful.. the service is outstanding... i have tried almost everything on the menu and can say everything is wonderful.. personal favorite are the spicy wings Posted on January 30, 2006

★★★★★ This place is EXCELLENT...some of the best pizza we have ever had...the sub sanwiches are also fantastic, and so are the chicken wings...inshaAllah this place stays open forever! Posted on January 16, 2006

★★★★★ The food was great. I first tried the spicy wings and they sure were spicy and good too. I decided on the Hawaiian Pizza and it was the best pizza i've ever had. The service was great and the server was very kind. Great place and good prices makes this one of the best halal spots in southern california Posted on July 8, 2005

★★★★★ I was little hesitant to go to a zabiha Italian restaurant, mostly because I didn't think they would get it right. I was pleasantly surprised by this place. The pizza was very good! Growing up not being able to eat Pepperoni Pizza (not that I wanted to eat pork astagh.), I was pleased to find a place that sold Halal beef Pepperoni and meat toppings. Posted on April 14, 2005

★★★★☆ The food is awesome. The meat lovers pizza is great. Posted on November 6, 2004

★★★★★ great pizza and friendly service. totally halaal, the owner was even willing to show me the packages. i defintely recommend it. Posted on October 29, 2004

★★★★☆ This pizza shop is excellent. Posted on July 21, 2004

★★★★★ This Pizza shop is xcellent and we really like the hospitality and it was really nice Posted on June 22, 2004

★★★★★ I am concerned about a recent review of San Giovanni pizza. I think it is unfair, at least in part. I have spoken to the owners of this restaurant and they are very conerned that while the patron had suggested that they improve the quality (of the food), they had not given these folks a chance to improve. For example, you go into a restaurant and they serve you a tuna melt sandwhich, but its cold (not quite melted). You could simply give a small tip or no tip to the server since you were upset with the quality of the service. But, did you give the waiter a chance to improve your order? Did you even tell him or her that your food was cold or gross? In other words, are you condemning a restarant in its entirety because you went in and ordered a SINGLE slice of pizza, did not like it, did not tell the proprietor that you did not like it and then go to this web site to make an ANONYMOUS negative review of the restaurant? If they couldn't satisfy your concerns or refused to even try, then a negative review would be wholly appropriate, but in these circumstances, I have to wonder. Posted on June 20, 2004

★★★★★ As someone who helped create their web site in exchange for food, not for money, I have had the wonderful opportunity to try most everything on their menu. Biased I may be, but I admit my bias up front. San Giovanni has excellent food, nice ambiance, and personal service. Nicer restaurants there are, but all will cost two or three times as much, if not more, but nicer people you will not find. Posted on June 19, 2004
