WEST SEATTLE RESTAURANTS: Giannoni’s Pizzeria has closed after 10+ years

| West Seattle news | West Seattle restaurants | Westwood

Giannoni’s Pizzeria in Westwood Village has closed permanently, confirms proprietor Donna Burns. Earlier this month, they had planned to close for renovation, long overdue after 10 1/2 years in business, but the plan has changed, she told WSB, and they will not be reopening:

Giannoni’s would like to thank all of our wonderful and very loyal customers over the last 10+ years. You have been the best part of our days!

After being faced with many challenges while attempting to update and renovate the space, we ultimately decided that there were other opportunities we would like to pursue.

Westwood management will get pizza back in the mall very soon and we hope that the area continues to grow and be a great place for West Seattle to shop!

We inquired after someone sent us a photo of a notice that mall management had taped to the restaurant’s papered-over windows. Burns says they have been in contact with them. This is the third WWV closure so far this year, following Fresh Vitamins and Carter’s.

Whoa! That’s not what I was expecting! Thanks for 10 Years and best of luck to you.

Will not?

Fixing!

Oh no! Our family will miss this tasty pizza.

Too bad. Great place to get a good slice of pizza. I’ll miss it.

We will miss this pizza!

I hope it’s not that WWV Management is making it difficult for smaller tenants.

I know! The article mentioned having pizza at Westwood Village very soon. Does that mean one of those vile, disgusting Pizza Huts? Dominoes? Crap pizza with no taste and s—ty crust that most Americans just go to because they don’t know the difference? Awful.

  We now have two Domino’s and two Pizza Huts in WS, so probably not. Papa John’s closed recently. Others seem to be thriving, both indies and chains. Don’t know yet what the statement was referring to, but we’ll be watching!

My favorite slice pizza in w seattle! Made the trips to wwv bareable. Hope they reopen somewhere else !

AH CRAP. I went by there a few times but it seemed less and less likely that they were going to reopen. This was the best pizza in the area. Probably the best in Seattle. I hope they don’t replace it with a crappy horrible pizza franchise chain like they are always doing there. Obviously I will never go there again if they do. I am horribly, horribly disappointed and very saddened by this. I don’t know whether Westwood Village raised the rent or what happened but I’m sick to my stomach over this. This is why we can’t have nice things. Dammit.

Sorry, comment time is over.
