Do you like Nutella and Ferrero Rocher? Well you better sit down because this cookie is the perfect blend. We fold tons of Nutella into the base of this soft and chewy cookie and mix in some semisweet chocolate chips. Then we stuff the cookie with a Nutella filling and drizzle it with chocolate and finish it with a sprinkle of hazelnut. It's perfect the way it is but it's even better in the oven for 4-5 minutes at 350 degrees or 10-15 seconds in the microwave. *This is an individually packaged cookie

"This has become my favorite place to get pizza. It's wonderful. They always pile on the toppings and don't skimp on the cheese, either. Their pizza and garlic butter sauces are both really good. The pizza is also good cold and great when reheated. I reheat in the air fryer. It makes the crust have a little crispiness to it. YUM!"
"Best Pizza is the ultimate supreme for those of us who love ALL the toppings! Delicious. and the Pepperoni Piccolo was glorious, with NYstyle slices. My youngest greatly appreciated the small Four Cheese Gourmet Pizza, it was just her size! Even though it's frigid outside, our pizzas arrived hot and fresh. We will definitely be ordering fromgionino's again."

"The Chicken Bacon Ranch, All Meat , and Triple Cheese Bread were very well made, hot, and delicious. While the Happy Tender Pack was good, this has been about the 4th time that the 1 pound pack fell very short of being an actual pound even with all the packaging included. It's too bad, because if wed gotten the full pound this would have easily been a 5 star review."
"Spicy Special does not disappoint . Ever! Nor does the meat lovers or the Everything. This place has now become my go to for pizza. Every single time it is hot, fresh, perfecly cooked, and LOADED with toppings. I mean these pizzas are heavy and very satisfying. Oh, and did I ment how fast they are compared to the other guys???? I seriou never brag on anywhere, but this place is well deserving. Thank you for doing what most places don't anymore and providing great food, great service, and decent prices."

" Carrabba's Italian Classics Trio was a disappointment, there was about a teaspoon of Alfredo sauce on the noodles, the lasagna didn't have any cheese on top and was gummy, and the chicken Parmesan was topped with a plastic looking square of cheese. First time I've had a sad meal from Carrabba's "

"I was really surprised at how bland the chicken sandwich was, but I was shocked at how much mayo they put on the sandwich. Both slices of bread were slathered in it and it just made the entire sandwich taste only of mayo and it was just very unenjoyable."

"Absolutely delicious! I added pineapple to mine to give it a little sweetness since I find the mild butter chicken a bit spicy. It's an extra three dollars and I'm glad I did it but they barely put any on the pizza. Just a couple of pieces so that was a little disappointing. Anyways-still loved it"
"First time ordering Tandoori Crust pizza and all I have to say is wow I wish I ordered sooner the Tikk Masala Pizza was amazing and actually spicy. Was concerned with price for a small pizza but it turned out to be more than enough. The pizza was fresh and had grate flavor definitely will be ordering again.

"we love this place! Great pizza!"
"Centerville Pizza was just okay overall. It wasn’t bad by any means, but it definitely felt more like a homemade pizza than something you’d go out of your way for. The biggest issue was the quality of the toppings—they tasted more like grocery store ingredients than what you’d expect from a dedicated pizza place. The mozzarella in particular stood out, but not in a good way. It had more of that string cheese flavor and texture instead of the richer, meltier taste you usually get from proper pizza mozzarella. On top of that, there was just too much cheese, which made the slices feel heavy. The slices also weren’t cut well, which made it a bit messy to eat. My friend didn’t even finish his pizza, which kind of says it all. It’s not terrible, but it’s also not something I’d go out of my way to recommend."
