    Chicken sandwich
    Phil W.

    Sometimes it pays to be the first customer in the door.. Not our usually dining area but we needed to get out and try something new. We walked in to Gallo and were the only people there, I see reviews of people getting "poor service but that's definitely not what we experienced. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming into this quaint establishment. Sadly we were informed that the pizza oven was still getting ready so pizza was off the menu for us. That was almost a dealbreaker, but we found some other options on the menu to enjoy. The little yelper chose her usual chicken and fries, she had a healthy helping of them (they are definitely bagged nuggets as the pics show). The misses got a chicken and greens sandwich , while it was good, she said that the sandwich definitely would have benefited from being made with grilled chicken instead of fried. Naturally, me being a non-pasta person this was not my best day. I went with the old failsafe chicken wings. Garlic Parm, while the sauce was really good, I was a little disappointed by the size of them and little cup of Ken's bleu cheese. But points for presentation. There was a late delivery to the table, of sliced dough, which was quite good. I'm guessing the oven was just getting right almost close to temperature as we progressed through our meal. There were some really good looking pizzas here on yelp and while we were disappointed that we couldn't get a pizza today, we definitely plan to come back and give that a try.

    Greeted by annoyed staff.... Saturday night check out this location on Google maps showing that they are open till 10 PM. Got excited to try it out and we got there at 9:20 just to find the place closing down the heavy waitress at the bar immediately shouted that they're closed. I pointed out that it says O'clock and she didn't even responded she pretty much turned her back on us extremely annoyed by the comment. Am I going back to try it out when they're open ....absolutely not. Also, judging by the other reviews, I'm getting a sense this place will not impress .

    Best place in Lewiston for food! Staff is so friendly and food is delicious. It's very clean and has an awesome outside area. Couldn't recommend it more!

    White Gallo
    David L.

    Stopped in for a late lunch on Sunday and decided on two pizzas to share amongst three of us. We had the Amatriciana and the White Gallo. Both were very good - the crust is thin and airy and light, but they certainly did not skimp on the cheese. Plenty of fresh mozzarella and sun dried tomatoes on the White Gallo, but barely any red onion. I preferred the salty sweet combination of the pancetta and caramelized onions on the Amatriciana, but both pizzas were really good and plenty of food for 4 people. Service was attentive, friendly, and kept our water pitcher full with cold water. Nice ambiance outside - inside seemed a bit sterile.

    Everything of very good quality, great pizza! Carbonara was a tad dry, needed some more pasta water to get that crème consistency

    Pizza bungee-corded to my bike
    Ivy Y.

    Stopped by today with a girlfriend to grab some pizza. We bungee-corded it to the passenger seat on my bike. We arrived at 2:55pm. They didn't open until 3pm. We waited at a table outside. When they opened right at 3pm the server came out and took our order. She brought out the check 5 minutes later and took our payment. The pizza came out about 15 minutes after that and we were in our way over to Academy Park to eat it. It was good! The price was right $19andchange. Was my second time here, my friend's first. She was impressed. I told her she would be. I'll definitely be back.

    Yummy Margarita Pizza for takeout
    Alex L.

    Got pickup here after doing a walk of the Niagara Gorge trail during the COVID-19 quarantine. I placed the order on the phone - pickup can be done curbside by giving your credit card over the phone or you can come inside (the person handling the card/food is wearing gloves). Inside, there is also some pasta as well as sauces you can purchase. During the COVID-19 quarantine, cocktails are for sale for $7 and house wine as little as $2 per glass to-go. Food-wise, I got a delicious Margharita pizza, which had the perfect crust and sauce/cheese ratio. The garlic parm wings were amazing. I also got the eggplant gallo as an appetizer - it was tasty, but a bit small so I'd likely skip it next time as a takeout item. Highly recommend for delicious coal-fired pizza/wings. The gnocchi is house made, so be sure to consider it!

    Sicilian chicken wings
    Richard P.

    My wife and I came by with another couple shortly after they opened on Saturday afternoon. It has a very bright interior and you can see the coal fire in the oven throughout the restaurant. We ordered the Sicilian chicken wings and eggplant gallo as appetizers to share. The wings were roasted in the coal fire oven and came out very crispy. They were also topped with roasted onions. I enjoyed these very much. Eggplant Gallo has thin slices of sauteed eggplant layered with tomatoes and Romano cheese. This was an excellent and tasty appetizer. I had the garlic vinegar chicken as my main course. This has chicken with garlic, peppers, onions, potatoes and Italian sausage in a red wine vinegar chicken stock sauce. I am a person who likes vinegar a lot but this dish had everything literally swimming in it. All in all, I would definitely come by again to try a few other menu items.

    Margherita Pizza. Delicious!
    Joe T.

    Everything was delicious! I went in for dinner because I bought a house in Lewiston and my real estate agent gave me some gift cards. My wife and in-laws were with me. We split some appetizers and a pizza and thought it was all delicious. The fried calamari was really good and very generous sized. We also ordered a dip that was tasty. The pizza was very good. Fresh sauce fresh cheese everything was good. The staff was super friendly too.

    Gallo used to have the best burrata appetizer tonight it's about the 1/4 of the size. I'm so disappointed

    Couldn't get an order right, and daily special is only good enough for 1 person. Disappointing.

I've been meaning to try Tangerine Tortoise for a while and I live near it so we walked in and did a quick 20-minute stroll around the block while they made our pizzas. What stopped me from trying it in the past was the abundance of great pizza chains in St. Catharines. St. Catharines has amazing food places with unique appeal if you ever want to try them. I actually frequent Score Pizza, Twice the Deal Pizza, and Fat Cat when I'm craving a certain type of pizza depending on the situation. I have had a lot of great pizza around the Niagara region from Fat Cat's to Di's and plenty of others. They all have their own appeal but there is just something about the taste the menu and the overall vibe here that puts The Tangerine Tortoise at the top for me. We ordered the spicy pineapple and the prosciutto with pistachio nuts and both were amazing. My favorite was the spicy pineapple because of the hot honey glaze on top. It added the perfect kick and sweetness. What's cool about Tangerine Tortoise is how it's inside an old repair shop and it's hard to tell it's a restaurant unless you know. It's also in the middle of a neighborhood which I think cities should allow more residential restaurant mix because it adds to the community appeal. As a St. Catharines local I absolutely love it and my sister coming in from the GTA loved it just as much.

    My partner and I ate here recently and were delighted with both our food and the atmosphere…read more The beer selection was good and all local breweries. The wine selection was limited but sufficient. We are very much looking forward to returning to try more varieties of pizza that are on offer. Well done!
