My favorite is thin pizza, and Sammy Joe's at Mulberry Plaza as far north as you can go in TV, just off Buena Vista just before 42 to your right is Mulberry Rec Center, Mulberry Shopping Center and the VA Medical Center. Everytime I have to go the VA, I stop at Sammy Joe's, even though I live on the southside that's how I found them.

Sammy Joe's is probably the smallest, most plainest place you'll find, but the food is good. The lady owner use to own Sonrise at Southern Trace until Darrell made her an offer she couldn't refuse. Also if you don't have a big appetite for a whole pizza, they have lunch specials of a slice, salad and drink, or slice and beer, etc.
I was at Giovanni's twice, and both times we almost sat on other people's laps, much like Roberto's. Their pizza was good and they made my top 5, but for take out only. And, I've been to Gios for lunch a couple of times, but didn't have pizza.

The Sammy's I am talking about is on 301 west side, between the 466's.
