our oldest franchise location
St. Paul
3033 4th Avenue, St. Paul VA 24283
We are delighted to spotlight our oldest franchise location, Giovanni’s Pizza in St. Paul, Virginia, a 47 years testament to our enduring legacy and commitment to quality. The St. Paul franchise has a rich history that began in the 1970s when a loyal customer would travel on a 2.5-hour round trip just to enjoy our pizza from Richlands. The true appreciation for our food led Frank and Garnetta Horner to establish their own Giovanni’s Pizza franchise in 1977, receiving their training at the original Richlands location
Originally situated on Broad Street in the former Stewart’s Furniture building, Giovanni’s quickly became a beloved fixture in the St. Paul community. Now located on Fourth Avenue, this franchise remains under the dedicated management of the Horner family, consistently delivering the same great taste that delighted customers over four decades ago.
At Giovanni’s Pizza, we are proud of our St. Paul location’s long-standing tradition of excellence. This franchise exemplifies the spirit and quality that define our brand. Visit our franchising page to learn more about becoming part of the Giovanni’s family and continuing our tradition of culinary excellence.
