Pizza Giovan

Getting back to the original theme of greasy eats, I'd like to talk about a little place that has become a big part of my life. While some people opt for toonie chow or buns as their "late night snack", Pizza Giovan has always been my go-to place. As ashamed as I am to admit it, I know that it's because of its location - its literally right next door to Korovas on St. Laurent. Which means that, since every night out inevitably ends with or somehow includes Korovas (despite anyone's best efforts), Pizza Giovan will always be right there for you. All that fist pumping on the Korova stage making you work up an appetite? Need a bathroom and snack stop before you commit to the sweaty vortex that is the Korova dancefloor? Need something to make you happy after witnessing all the sins taking place on that dancefloor? Pop on over to Pizza Giovans and you're night will be salvaged!

 Pizza Giovan's offers a wide selection of pizza types, some of which stray from the traditional flavours. And even you get the same type of pizza every time you go, every time can be different if you take advantage of their plethora of sauces (hot, garlic, ranch) and spices (chili flakes, garlic powder, mystery mix....). The pizza slices are cheap - but warning: they dont take debit so if you don't have cash you'll have to take out money from the atm which means service fees, and the risk of taking out $60 then forgetting about it and leaving it in the machine (it really happened...)

One of my favourite things about Pizza Giovan is Giovan himself (or the guy whos always working there when I go, who I call Giovan). He's super friendly and will help you out with which sauces to put on your pizza. He'll even let you get behind the counter and make a pizza yourself if it's your birthday! (although he'll yell at you while you're making it then kick you out)

Ellie's getting her some pizza... nom nom!

I definitely recommend that the next time you end up at Korova you give ol' Giovan a visit. Good location, friendly staff, and who knows if the pizza is actually good, but I betcha you'll enjoy it. See you there!
