Verdict: Sorry Scottsdale, it's not NY pizza.
The flavor was okay but otherwise underwhelming for texture of the crust. The pepperoni was average and didn't have a lot of kick for flavor.
Gus is just outside of a bar or three so it's probably great drunk food. Come to think of it, there were several drunk people there when we went. The one guy offered me a bite of his slice. It was a nice gesture but I respectfully declined.
This joint is what I would describe as a bit of a hole in the wall. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Holes in the wall are some of my favorite places because they can bring something special. Unfortunately, this was the wrong kind of special for me. I might consider going here again if it were late and I were pretty drunk and hungry.
