Overview

Giovanni's Pizza was established in 1964 in Wheelersburg, Ohio by Jim and Nancy Lemaster. Jim sold his 1930 Ford Model A to buy their first pizza oven for $300. In 1967, Lemaster sold the restaurant to his brother Gerald and opened a second restaurant in nearby Ashland, Kentucky. That restaurant was sold 3 years later to his brother-in-law. Jim used this franchising strategy to turn the restaurant into a regional chain.
Giovanni's serves pizza, subs, wings, pasta, calzones, and several appetisers called "teasers". Food is available for take-out, delivery, or dine-in, with buffet options at many locations.
