CruzOnBye Posted August 2, 2022 Report Share Posted August 2, 2022 We have never purchased a dining option on any of our cruises- we always opt for the free food haha. But we are going on Odyssey in December and my husband and I love trying new pizza so I saw the Lunch is on sale for Giovanni's for our sailing and figured perfect time to try! I know this blog is a judge free zone...hope it stays that way for what I'm about to ask....LOL. Are the pizzas on the menu by slice, or like they bring you a whole pizza? If whole, are we talkin like a medium size or large size? Do you know if they will let you take a pizza to go like after you've sat there and eaten your lunch/dinner? Like if we really are itching for a cheese but I want pep later- can I take a pizza to go? And I love chicken parm like nobody's business so I'm worried I will indulge in the amazing apps and chix parm and want pizza later LOL. Thank you! P.s. if you're on a December cruise on Odyssey and see a 5' woman running out with multiple pizzas and a giant meatball to-go....just let me live my life!

michaelp1446 Posted August 2, 2022 Report Share Posted August 2, 2022 Had lunch at Giovanni's Kitchen on Odyssey this past March. WORTH every penny. Pizza's are 12" pies. The chicken parm was fantastic. We did not take away any pizza's (too full). The pistachio pannacotta was out of this world.....

CruzOnBye Posted August 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2022 Awesome!! Thank you @michaelp1446!! That is great info. I had to look up pistachio pannacotta as I didn't know what it is, but I can't wait to meet it. That sounds good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted August 2, 2022 Report Share Posted August 2, 2022 I want to add you can take food to go, so taking a pizza would not be out of the question. I have Giovanni's scheduled for a dinner as a treat to my friends and family on Odyssey in Nov. I know we will each get our own pizza and I am sure I will be carrying most of mines back to my room for a snack later CruzOnBye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjac Posted August 2, 2022 Report Share Posted August 2, 2022 We had lunch at Giovanni's this Feb. Excellent food and service. The view, however, was lacking. If you are seated next to a window or in the middle of the restaurant and look outside, all you will see is the bottom of the lifeboats. You can sit just outside the restaurant and people watch as you eat. Swar and CruzOnBye 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyDillo Posted August 2, 2022 Report Share Posted August 2, 2022 I took my leftover pizza from Giovanni's Kitchen on Freedom with no questions asked. They put it on a plate and wrapped it in plastic for me. Later on I saw they had boxes, so not sure why they didn't think about that earlier on but who knows I enjoyed eating the pizza later on that evening; even cold it was still great.

JustMeJoe Posted August 2, 2022 Report Share Posted August 2, 2022 By any chance, does someone have the current Lunch Menu for Giovanni's on Explorer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelp1446 Posted August 3, 2022 Report Share Posted August 3, 2022 As far as I know, Giovanni's Kitchen is only on Odyssey and Wonder . Most others have Giovanni's Table or Jaime's Italian. Menu's and theme are different for all three restaurants. Different but delicious just the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
