I Love This Place. Gusto never disappoints. Always good food, always friendly, and the student discount doesn't hurt either. BBQ chicken pizza and italian hoagie are personal favorites.
Very uneven menu.
I live across the street from Gusto, so out of laziness, I order from them a lot, and I've tried a lot of different things on the menu. I'm not sure I get the raves the place is getting from so many
of the reviewers. There are some Gusto items I've gotten that I like a lot - their calzones are excellent.
A lot of other stuff is pretty bog standard corner pizza place stuff - the mozzarella sticks are mozzarella sticks; the fries are fries; the cheese steak is okay, but I wouldn't put it in a category with actual good cheese steaks.
And then there's the pizza. I don't actually get Gusto's pizza much, because whenever I do, I have a pretty bad experience. The crust is good, admittedly. But I really don't care for the sauce - it's very sweet. (And it doesn't work on their meatball sandwiches, or whatever other items one gets with tomato sauce, either) And the cheese and sauce don't get integrated very well (and, generally, there seems to be less cheese than there should be). And, just in general, the pizza isn't very good, in my view. Obviously, Center City is not great for takeout pizza in general, but surely one can do better than Gusto?
That being said, the calzones are really very good, and I recommend them without reservation, and it's basically fine for any other thing not involving tomato sauce (although not spectacular).…
Dedicated fan. I have my reservations toward American pizza, but Gusto is defies all my preconceptions every time. I am not crazy about the ambiance of the place, but I am always happy to walk 8 blocks there and back for my favorite Gusto pizza. The dough is thin and superb and the ingredients used are fresh and high quality. As for the service, they are helpful, friendly and fast. What can I say? I'm a fan.…
Fantastic neighborhood pizza place.
I love Gusto. If my plans involve getting pizza, I'm giving Gusto a call. They have great sandwiches (try the buffalo chicken steak), and great onion rings, but I love the pizza. Their crust is crisp
and not super doughy. My favorite pizza is the basil/tomato/pesto white pizza.
If you live reasonably close to their location, I'd suggest picking up your food. I've never gotten delivery (I live three blocks away), but every time I order, my food is ready in 10-15 minutes.…
great neighborhood pizza place. Gusto is a great addition to the neighborhood. Their food is tasty, it's ready fast, and they are friendly. As a vegetarian, I'm partial to the Gusto pizza without the proscuitto. Good for take out or eat in.…
