Gus' was a staple of my diet for 20 years. It has been my go to since I was 16 years old. I even worked in the place delivering pies for a few years. I have many fond memories of the place from watching fights after last call to standing in the alleyway behind the place and watching a live girl on girl scene. I LOVE Gus' pizza. How could I not?
There have been many Gusses in the place's history and when it last sold (maybe 2 years ago?) I stopped in and told the new owner not to fuck it up.
A previous reviewer said the owner talked about hard times? Hardly. Fortunately for ownership, and unfortunately for us, with a majority clientele that changes each semester and 24 hour operation this place makes a killing no matter whether the loyal locals continue to patronize it or not. Owners of this restaurant sell it for one reason: it has made them a millionaire and they are retiring. Ask Mo if you can find whichever strip club he's presently residing in.
On my last visit about 2 weeks ago I was crushed to discover that the Gus-du-jour has indeed fucked everything up. The crust is different and is not stretched as thinly, the sausage is different, the ovens seem to have been turned down and no longer create the same golden crispiness on the crust as before nor curl and crisp the edges of pepperonis.
Thanks for ruining something that was great you ass head. Bring back Nico and sell the place. I beg you.
