| - I've had Guido's for the past few weeks. Some things I Iike, some, not so much.
The chicken and jojos are definitely my favorite. The chicken, "flame broiled" or fried, is delicious. I'm told that the fried chicken tastes slightly different because it is simultaneously pressure cooked and fried, or something along those lines. The jojos are similar, I'm betting that they are fried along with the chicken because they taste pretty similar. Crispy on the outside, smooth and potatoey on the inside.
Now for the dislikes. I can't stand their pizza. It tastes more like lasagna than pizza. They also cut it into squares, even though the pizza is round. Not sure what is up with that. The only thing that saved the pizza from being thrown away was the crust. Moving on, the cole slaw. Not sure I'm really surprised, but it comes from a carton in the fridge, plain and simple. MMM - the Sysco special! Lastly, the actual store. I don't think this place has been cleaned in years. Apparently the Kent health dept didn't make it this far out on W. Main. Their parking lot sucks.
Lastly, a sort of neutral ground. The staff. These guys don't care. Not a single care in the world. Every time, they forget something from my order. I've also had a pizza take 40 minutes before, even though when I stopped in to pick it up it seemed like I was the only order as they didn't even ask my name, and I'm certain that they don't know who I am. Last time I checked, it doesn't take 40 minutes to cook a pizza. But, I'm patient and now that I know the typical protocol it doesn't bother me too much.
TL;DR - If you're starving and need food fast - steer clear. If you want good pizza - go somewhere else. If you want some delicious and greasy fried chicken and jojos for a steal and you want to pay with a check - this is your place!
