I'm done. 3rd or 4th pizza this year but quality has consistently gone down. Maybe yours will have more toppings than mine below. You be the judge.

This particular pizzeria is located on the side of the shopping plaza with the Publix as the anchor store that is located on East Colonial Drive. With this location being off to the side, you might never notice this place unless you were looking specifically for it. In fact, I first found it years ago when I used to go to the Chinese restaurant that is located next door.The pizza here is okay. Service is okay enough and as far as the ambiance, it has that typical mom-and-pop in a strip shopping plaza type feel to it. As I said, the pizza here is okay. Nothing special and I would never say that it was anything close to going out of your way for, but if you are in the area and craving pizza, this place works okay enough.Papa Gio's is a convenient pizzeria if you live on the further side of east Orlando. If you live in Wedgefield, Bithlo, Chuluota, Christmas or that general area, this is the independent pizza place closest to you. Overall, I can only give it three stars for an unspectacular pizza.

I'm a big fan of this Papa Gios! Have been for several years. It's located in a shopping plaza that I don't frequent all that often and I don't drive past it often either, so it sometimes falls into the "out of sight, out of mind" category. We've been here more recently though so it's getting to be a regular consideration when we want some quick, casual Italian. We've had some really delicious pastas, their garlic sticks are amazing, they've got delicious appetizers, and of course the pizzas are excellent. They always have assorted Italian cookies and desserts but I'm usually way too full for dessert by the time we are done. The only less than stellar dish I've had their recently was the veal & eggplant parmigiana. While it looked incredible, the eggplant was so tough and leathery I could barely cut through it. I had to ask for a steak knife, but ended up just not eating it. But one bad dish after every other meal being delicious is something I can overlook. I'll stick to the pizzas and pastas and skip any eggplant. Definitely give them a try and enjoy the great service and food.

This was plan B after another place didn't have Dine In service, and wow, what a winner. I think we ate here once before many moons ago and may need to add this to the regular rotation.Service was absolutely amazing with drink refills and making sure we had everything we need. She was a superstar for sure. A big #ThankYouThursday2021 for her and the rest of the staff.I opted for the Fried Sampler platter and everything was cooked to perfection. The Cream Cheese Jalapeño Poppers were the best I've ever had, even though I prefer the cheddar ones. Everything else was good too. Yum!FYI: This is the one in the plaza around the corner from tractor supply company, not the one in Avalon Park.

Ugh! I decided I'd give East Papa Gios in East Orlando one last chance; FAILED. The margherita pizza was AWFUL. Zero flavor, hardly any cheese, the Roma tomatoes used tasted down right disgusting, and the seasons were slim. What is going on Gios I mean come on??? What happened to grande cheese and "only the best products?"That was it. Never again will I order from Gios. So sad how badly Gios has declined over the last several years.

Papa Gio has a good variety of Gluten-free pizzas. They are thin & crispy (that's how I love mine). I love that we can order from here & our allergy-laden kid can also enjoy. They deliver & have not disappointed! Keep up the great pizza-making!

What a disappointment. I have eaten at Papa Gios for years. We moved away but always make a point to eat here when we are visiting. My favorite dish is chicken franchese. They forgot my salad and made the dish with pene pasta vs spaghetti or linguini. When I asked when they started that he said IDK I think they ran out. It was the most tasteless dish. I used to savor every bite. This was about inedible. Very disappointed. A bunch of kids running the business. This was a carry out order or I would have returned it after 2 bites

Do not order delivery. Their slice app will say it's "out for delivery" and when you call an hour and a half later they will tell you it's in the oven and will be first order out (with a snotty attitude).
