    (Disclaimer: We were much too hungry to remember pictures of the actual food before half of it was…read moregone baby gone) Pie head here...gotta try the pie everywhere I go, whether its just passing through or trying to establish a new long term relationship. Still not quite sure how I ended up living on a Native American reservation, specifically the Zuni reservation (much too personal for restaurant review)...but even if I didn't have such a knowledgeable guide, there's basically no way to miss Chu Chu's and not say to yourself, "yea, lets grab a bite to eat there". No, seriously, this place is right off the main road into town, and has a dominant presence like no other structure except maybe the brand new Halona Supermarket...the owner must be a billionaire by now. So, I was already on my in for the Pizza, but without any pretense you'd probably never guess that their specialty is Pizza and Subs, but by the time you're seated and get your menu with the Native American looking Chef Boyardee mascot on every page, you'll probably get the hint. A word about the venue itself....the place is massive!, well decorated with an authentic and unique decour that feels classy but home-y, and apparently serves as a community hub for birthday parties and many other social functions. Like, even the Governor eats at Chu-Chu's once a week...its that big of a deal. Interestingly enough, the entire reservation is dry, so don't expect to wash away the inevitable and pleasant tingle of green chile from your palette with cold beer...this however does make a statement about the strength and quality of the food and drink menu. We had a feast...starting with the standard XL Pepperoni and Mushroom Pizza which I use as a reference for any first time patronage, except with a New Mexico twist; the aforementioned Green Chile, which was baked in just right, and enhanced the Pizza as opposed to hindering it. We also ordered a Brisket platter that I must say was as unique as it was delicious...specifically, compared to the more widespread Texas style, the cuts were thinner and less charred, but well carmelized with less salt, and lighter in color. (Will need to do a Youtube dive about that actually...) Long story short, we had leftover Pizza to go, and I'll definitely be back, with hopes of bumping into the Govna of course! Special shoutout to Alex, the young and charming host, server, and manager on duty...apparently he's been working there since the 1st grade, so if you have any questions, you should def ask him. He knows. Thanks Alex, We'll be back

    The service was so-so, my order was not right, asked for red chili on tacos on soft shell. No…read morechili, tacos came on hard shell and told the waiter who didn't ask me if I wanted to make it correct or what can I do to make it right. The menu is overpriced and it seems like beans were canned beans. Total price for a taco plate and enchilada plate and 2 ice teas was $54 including tax and tip.

    We were served undercooked pizza--twice--and it completely ruined our dinner…read more On the very first bite, I could feel that the dough was sticky and raw. When I checked the pizza, it was clearly undercooked, so we sent it back. We expected it to come back properly cooked, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. When the pizza was brought out the second time, it was still doughy and undercooked. I took photos of it, and they show multiple different slices--all of which had the same raw, gummy texture across the entire slice. This was not just one bad piece. Because of this, we didn't even get a chance to actually eat the pizza. That was our dinner, and we ended up leaving without being able to eat it. What made the situation worse was how it was handled. The manager insisted it was "ranch sauce" and claimed the pizza was cooked thoroughly, which is simply not accurate based on both the texture and appearance. I was also told I was the only person to complain, as if that somehow made the issue invalid. Regardless, we were served undercooked food--twice. They offered a $5 discount on a $21 pizza that we couldn't even eat, which did not feel like a fair resolution. Very disappointing experience overall--not just because of the food, but because the issue was dismissed instead of taken seriously.

    We are visiting Gallup for the day as we head to Phoenix for the remainder of the week, and we…read morefound Fratelli's on Yelp. AMAZING! When we arrived at 6:30p the parking lot was packed - and on a Wednesday! We waited for about 20 minutes and then were seated. We started with the spinach and artichoke dip, which is served with warm baguette slices - perfection. For entrees we had the meatball linguine and the chicken Parmesan- meatballs are house- made and were so flavorful, chicken on the parm was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Entrees are served with a side salad and their ranch was to die for- so thick and creamy. For dessert we had the chocolate gelato, which was the cherry on top of the meal. Yum! The place stayed busy until we left around 8 - a big party was waiting to be sat. The staff are very hard workers - they were busting their butts all over the restaurant for the duration of our meal. Our server (we didn't get his name, unfortunately) was wonderful. Highly recommend, and if we're ever back in Gallup, we'll definitely grab another meal here!
