PAOLO'S PIZZA BAR REVIEWS

Yummy Italian food. Lovely ambiance inside. Huge variety on the menu. Mushroom papadelle was delicious with handmade pasta. Seafood pizza also yum. Staff were wonderful and clearly very busy on a Saturday night but service was fabulous. Keep up the good work! :) A great place for dinner if you love Italian food.

Delicious pizza and pasta. The extra chilli oil definitely has a kick to it! Italian hot chocolate was thick and rich. Tiramisu was great too. Would definitely recommend.

Reliably delicious Italian food every time we dine at this restaurant. Our favourite place for dinner in Hervey Bay without fail. Highly recommend.

My family have been eating at Giovanni's for years. The carbonara pasta is fantastic, the arochini balls are delicious and the pizzas are always on point. The new shop looks great and the staff are very friendly! My girls love the Monster pizza with spaghetti :).

Primavera and a daisy special. Absolutely outstanding as always. There is not a better pizza restaurant anywhere! Great friendly service, fresh ingredients and wonderful atmosphere. Great new location close to the beach. Very filling and tasty pizza.

Service was amazing and the pizzas were light and delicious highly recommend pepperoni and bbq chicken absolutely stunning.
