giovanni is a restaurant in Etiler that serves true Italian-style pizza, and has already acquired a circle of devoted regulars

Pizza is undoubtfully one of the most popular foods in the world. Popularity poses drawbacks as well as benefits. One serious drawback is not always being able to find pizza that will meet your culinary expectations. If you too are a discriminating pizza aficionado looking for meticulously prepared pies, we recommend the giovanni restaurant that has recently opened in Etiler on Nispetiye Street, where true Italian pizza is being served. The pizza know-how at giovanni is obtained from St. Paul, the boutique pizza restaurant in Torino, Italy. Yuksel Aziz, the chef at giovanni, has worked and trained for two weeks at the St. Paul restaurant to learn the secrets to the preparation of the pizza they serve.

The giovanni restaurant serves its customers Italy's thin pizza with crispy edges and abundant with sauce. Yuksel Aziz points out that the triumvirate of dough, ingredients and a stone oven is the most important attribute of Italian-style pizza. Mozzeralla cheese, which gets its unique flavor from water buffalo milk, and special tomato sauce, are used in the making of the pizza. The restaurant offers 36 different varieties of pizza, including vegetable, seafood, calzone and smoked anchovies. Akin Gunduz, director of global sales and marketing for Innovative Wind Power, a leading company in the world for alternative and renewable energy, helped taste giovanni's pizzas with us during at a lunch meeting. Gunduz remarked that his pizza was very savory. Gunduz mentioned that due to his busy schedule, he often had lunch delivered to his office.
