| - Gusto brings a much-needed "healthy" and farm fresh option to the Southpark Mall food court. And, for the most part, it does not disappoint. Their menu boasts a nice selection of pizzas and salads, all of which look good. I opted for the Farmer's Daughter pizza. The girl taking my order was nice enough, and the guys working there seemed happy and energetic (despite that I was there ~15 minutes before close). It did take a few minutes to get my food, especially compared to the true fast food that most other stalls offer in the food court. But soon enough I had the food in my hands!
The pizza was pretty good. For the most part, it seemed fresh. The tomatoes were pretty soggy, though. There was also a LOT of the oil/pesto/? dressing on my pizza (will ask for it lightly dressed next time). So my pizza was kinda soggy and wet- at least the crust held up! The cheese was great, though. I love me some fresh mozzarella! Overall, the pizza is definitely a step down from similar pizza joint &pizza (same flash fired concept). I will try a salad next time. Also, side note, my sweet tea was REALLY sweet. Usually sweet is okay with me, but this was just so so sweet that I could only take a few sips.
Gusto is great if you are looking for a healthy ish option at the food court (and don't want to go to Panera...). I would definitely recommend eating it there (especially for pizzas) so your pizza does not get too soggy. Try it!
