Giovanni's Pizza (Puerto Chango)

Giovanni's Pizza is a well-known pizza-type fast food restaurant chain in Puerto Chango. Owned since it's 1948 creation by Sociedad Italiana de Puerto Chango and operated by Jörg Y Sus Hijos Compañía, the company sells pizzas, pastas, salads, desserts, and much more their branches located in the Rodriguez Islands.

In many people of the Rodriguez Islands' childhoods, Giovanni's Pizza was their favourite pizza place. A Puerto Chango user of 4chan reported on a board that he loved their crinkle fries, in fact, he believed that he had his first crinkle-cut fries in Giovanni's Pizza. Another 4chan user remembered their gelato, their pepperoni pizza, their styrofoam pizza boxes (still used today), and their very good flame-grilled burger which came with a pink sauce not so different from a thousand island one (which is also still sold). Curiously, in 1951, it's the first TV commercial in Puerto Chango, airing in a variety show. But in 2005, is the first HD commercial in Puerto Chango, and later in 2009, a controversy commercial (based on the Chinese Revolution in 1949 and the Vietnam War in the 60s) is banned on television due by racism with people from China and Vietnam (later is airing on YouTube in 2013).

They were one of the pioneers of the pizza-type fast food chains in Puerto Chango.

Here is some information on their "running man" commercial. The Giovanni's Pizza guy in the commercial is actually the late Humberto Velez (in 1982-1995 the Giovanni's Pizza guy is voiced (and played) by Jorge Arvizu, the Latin American voice of Fred Flintstone), the original Latin American Spanish voice of Homer Simpson. The commercial was directed by John Cates, a Puerto Chango-based British director born in London, England, and living in Federal District. The scene in which is he running in front of shops was filmed in Federal District in the Sanfa shoptown, where JYSHC's headquarters is located. The camera was located on the first floor of the building on the opposite side (the one with (later) Ripley and Justice & Brothers). According to John, the director of the commercial, it was shot on an old hand-cranked camera using Technicolor dye-transfer film and the music was composed by a Dutch composer called Harvey van Wouters.

Their other popular menu items include steak and kidney pudding, sopaipilla, calamari, and more.
