| - Gus's redeeming factor is that the pizza is available 24/7, and they do have a gigantic 32 inch pie you can dine in or take out (The boxes on the 32 inchers are incredible!).
We walked in and were greeted by one of the staff, which I appreciated. Everyone else working there though, seemed genuinely unhappy and stressed about working here. Going up to the counter to place our order, we asked if we could get half of a pizza one type, and half the other on a single pie. Denied. So, we ordered 2 smaller sized (14 inch) pizzas and some garlic knots as an appetizer. Note that they will charge you an extra $.50 if you use your credit card.
The garlic knots came out first, piping hot. They were decent, and served with ice cold marinara sauce which also was just OK. Out of the two pizzas (Bronx bomber and Margherita), I preferred the Bronx bomber better in terms of flavor and toppings. The Margherita had some anemic looking, sparse tomatoes on it, with a fine dusting of dried basil. I couldn't taste much garlic on it either. The Bronx bomber was more robust with the meaty toppings, red sauce, and cheese. The garlic they used on it was a heaping amount, the kind of garlic you scoop out from a jar that's already pre-diced.
Overall I wasn't really wowed by the pizza nor the service here. But, if I'm in the area and it's late at night, I might come here.
