    Wanted to grab a quick lunch on the go, saw this pizza place in a small plaza. Lots of parking out front. Walking in the place was busy, figured that was a good sign that the food was good. I got a small pepperoni to go. Pizza was just ok, it was hot and the pepperoni was a good amount.., but it was just average. The flavors were just a bit bland for me.

    Garlic bread was good plenty of garlic flavor

    OK I'll never find a ray pizza place up here In New state . So I'll keep looking Guida's definitely isn't a rays pizza Clean restaurant Friendly order takers But we don't go just for this we go to taste the food. I got the sausage &peppers sub hero or whatever you like call it large garlic with mozzarella. My roommate got pizza logs and a large fries When our order was finally ready The only gave us part of the order (seem like they just wanted us out the door) if we didn't check my roommate would not have gotten his pizza logs or our fries . Maybe my 36 dollar order wasn't worthy. Lol At this point I got reminded of a saying from the movie lethal weapon (you always get f when u use the drive through) well now I guess u can say at the count too. My suggestion is this to my favorite readers on here Go to paradise Pizza in gates or PI CRAFT so far those have been the best pizza restaurants I've found in the gates area . vergognosa repubblica italiana

    Delicious large cheese pizza with extra cheese

    My go to pizza spot almost every weekend! A friend recommended this place and after I tried it once, I haven't gone elsewhere. Everything from the shape of the pizza (square pieces), to the perfectly cooked crust (not too thin and no too thick) and delicious sauce (sweet with the perfect subtle tang), it just doesn't get much better than this. It's consistent, they're friendly, they have an easy online ordering system and it's just all round good pizza. The wings are delicious too, especially with their sweet chili sauce. Also every time you order, you get a $1 coupon but once you get $10, you get a free large pizza. Pretty decent deal.

    Yuck.

    Ordered here on a Friday night and my bf picked it up in 35 minutes. It was just a large pepperoni pizza and they messed it up. The back 4 slices were folded over onto each other and inedible. The rest of the pizza was undercooked so we put it in the oven. When I called guidas they offered to re-make it, but we couldn't wait another hour to eat. We were promised a free pizza coupon in the mail after I called and spoke to Rocco. Hope it's better the next time :/

    I stopped here to grab a quick bite to eat for lunch. They had three kinds of pizza to choose from to buy. I was disappointed there weren't more slices like in past visits, but everything Is different with covid. I am sure they aren't getting as many customers as before. I decided my fair chicken. The slices are huge and filling. The staff were very nice and the restaurant very clean.

    Greasy pizza, no tang in the sauce, undercooked

    Awful. Just awful. Thin, undercooked, greasey and lacking any real flavor. Am I being over critical? I don't know, you tell me if attempting to eat the pizza with a fork and knife because it is so thin and greasey you can't pick it up is being over critical.....apparently my knife also didn't like it because it didn't want to even cut the pizza....that or it was so greasy and undercooked that the slice would just slide around with no structure so effectively cutting it was impossible. What a disappointment.

    Famous Schwartzkoff seriously one of the best subs in the world.

    Guida's is actually a very good pizza place. They used to really push the fact that they have "gourmet" pizza... I'm not entirely sure what gourmet means even as a 33yo adult, but I have always thought Guida's has tasted better than most places in Rochester. They have since stopped pushing that they have gourmet pizza. I used to order it occasionally as a teen, when I lived in East Irondequoit. I say occasionally because back then it was one of the most expensive pizzas in town. Today the price is more competitive. Even back then I could taste the better quality of Guida's. The food at the gates location taste pretty much the same as the east Irondequoit location. Which is nice because usually when local pizza places start to grow and open up other locations..the food begins to suffer and you just never no what will you get at each location. While they have really good pizza, they also have really good subs. I have tried a few of their subs, but there is one sub they offer that is my favorite. It's the "famous Schwartzkoff". A sub I used to get as a teen often from their east Irondequoit location..and it taste just as good as it did back in the late 90s, early 2000s. It's so simple but so good..breaded chicken, Swiss cheese, ham, lettuce, mayo, and a sweet n sour sauce that doesn't taste like the 2 big brands of sauce Roc is known for.(country sweet, boss sauce). Not sure if it is homemade or a different brand..but it definitely brings it all together. Man if there is one thing to try at Guida's it's the famous Schwartzkoff Sub. Lastly I'd like to say they do a rewards program called Guido bucks. Where you get like 1 dollar with every order, and when you collect 10 of them you get a free large cheese pizza. This is nice but one thing I wish they would change is how you aquire the Guido bucks. There has been times when I have ordered 10 bucks worth of food and got a "buck". There has also been times when I have ordered over 4x that amount of food and still got just one buck...kinda lame. I've been collecting these things for like 3 years now lol...I hope I don't lose them before I get a chance to cash them in. Like I did back in the early 2000s -_-

    I'm here for a hair cut! Oh crap they're closed. Damn I guess I better get pizza then. By the way does the "etc" mean sexy Brazilian waxing?

    If your guarden is overguown with gueeds, then you need a Guida. Guidas are basically guys that come over and de-gueed your guarden. So guan and hire guone before gueeds take over your guass. What to get: A slice, any slice. What not to get: $100 because you're too honest. I like the other Guida's better. I mean there are a few of them, but I like this one: http://www.yelp.com/biz/guidas-pizzeria-penfield The service and taste were slightly better at that location, as was the selection. However this location is really good too, and just about scores a 5. I came here under the "Guise" of wanting a haircut, but all I got was this lousy - I mean delicious - slice. The funniest thing happened when I came in here for the first time (which was about 3 days ago). I waited for at least 5 minutes at the register while the guy was counting money. I turned and looked around the lobby and started taking pix, and then I noticed something glinting on a table. I wandered over, and to my amazement, it was a $100 bill! You should definitely come here with the "Guise". If you bring "Guidettes" they might not be too impressed since it's really just massive slices. But then if your Guidette is into that kind of thing then go for it you guise. Like I said in my check-in, I think I'm a bad capitalist, because I gave the $100 bill to the owner. He said it wasn't his, but that he'd save it in case someone came in looking for it. How bizarre. Maybe it was a really great tip? He didn't think so. David Guida is not only the owner of this place but he also is a famous DJ. His most popular songs are "(Crust As Hard As) Titanium", "(Your Slice Is Trying To) Turn Me On", "Sexy "Pizza" B**ch", and "Dangerous (ly Hot Pizza)." So if you lost a $100 bill recently... no wait. If I say that, everyone is going to show up and say it was theirs, lol. So I'm not going to say anything. I'm sorry to whoever genuinely lost it. The Guida guys (sounds offensive?) have your money. And this pizza isn't Italian by the way. It's from Guidamala. They only had 2 different types of pizza, whereas the one in Penfield had about 10 different options. So I plumped (hint, I'm going to get plump if I keep eating pizza) for a Cheese & Pep slice. It was under $4. I think he shorted me on the change which was ironic. I only got a 5 and some change back out of a 10. Lol. Oh well. What's a dollar between friends. What's a hundred dollars between friends. I don't think he did it on purpose, he was just a little frazzled. I don't care. Whatever. If you're French and they ask you if you want a slice, just say "Gui, merci!" The pizza slice was so large that it had to be cut in half. That's a Guida's thing. So basically you get two slices for the price of one. I had half of the slice, and gave the other half to my pizza-obsessed friend. We both really enjoyed it and finished every bite. It was at least twice as good, slippery and wet as the slice we got from Perri's around the corner a little earlier. So full marks for the pizza, especially the yummy wood-fired doughy taste, and how wet it was, but without being too overly greasy. People seem to like the PS2 and the XBox but I like the "Guii" better. Because you can jump around. Pack it up, pack it in. Let me begin. Guida's is definitely one of the best local chains in Rochester, and makes one of the top 10 slices in the region. Their Penfield location is probably in the top 5 along with Pizza Stop downtown, Joe's Brooklyn in Henrietta, Carmine's, and I can't remember what the other one I love is. But you can check out my Pizza lists for Western NY to find out if you want to. Come in to Guida's and give a slice a try. Very delicious. Now I'll let MJ take it away. "Gui are the world Gui are the children Gui are the ones who make a better slice So let's start eating There's a $100 bill you're losing They're saving it here for you It's true they make a better slice For you and me."

Using the Bill Gray's in Henrietta as a point of reference, (no inference about other Bill Gray's locations, which might not be as good) the Bill Grays haddock dinner has been consistently good to excellent, big plump filet well cooked and generally good sides... for about the same price as Salvatore's is charging for this...the breading was surprisingly hard and crunchy, like greasy melba toast, basically inedible, and after cutting through that with a serrated knife, the filet inside was thin and scrawny, less than half the thickness of Bill Gray's, looked and tasted like frozen fish, overcooked to mush. I had selected as sides onion rings and home fries. The home fries were almost ok, not the best, decent flavor and cooked inside, but having a vaguely tough skin. The onion rings were doughy, not crisp, and a bit on the too salty side. Note to Soccer Sam- Please stick to making pizza, which you're good at, even the "fair to middling" frozen haddock fish fry at the Tops deli-counter out classes this expensive garbage.

    Long history of HORRIBLE service! Many years ago I would order from this location while at work…read more Often times I found they would not provide utensils for eating food despite requesting them. Then I reached out, I was told this is the most busy location and it is unreasonable to expect them to always get it right. So I stopped ordering. Recently I have tried them again they still do not take care to bring all the requested items with your food. Despite having an option to order utensils - they do not comply. Twice now I have ordered and not received what I requested. I provided feedback and in response was told "hope you enjoyed your meal" and a rude response expressing their displeasure that I provided them feedback. They do not care about quality customer service, they do not accept feedback, and they expect the customer to accept not receiving everything ordered. Do not waste your time or money here - they do not care about you!

    Vern's is definitely one of those spots that's worth a visit! They don't take reservations, and…read morewhen we arrived around 7:30pm on a Sunday evening, it was packed. We were quoted about a 40-minute wait for a table, but told bar seating might open up sooner (around 30 minutes). They took my number and we stepped outside to take a walk around the block while we waited. We ended up getting a text about the bar seat availability in about 15 minutes. Once we got seated at the bar, things turned around quickly. The space has a really cozy, intimate vibe with dim lighting, warm atmosphere and overall it feels thoughtfully put together. We ordered hot toddies to drink, which were perfect for the weather, and for food we got the Japanese sweet potatoes and the cavolo nero pesto. Both dishes were incredibly delicious - flavorful and well-balanced. Just be prepared for a wait (and maybe stay nearby instead of wandering off), but once you're in, it's a great experience!

    We tried out Vern's for the first time on a Thursday evening! We made it there by about 5:00 PM and…read moreit was easy enough to get a table for 2 with only indoor seating available. It's a small space inside but it's designed well enough to manage a flow of traffic for customers and staff. We sat in the back greenhouse area. I think the least enjoyable part of our experience was how loud it was in the restaurant. Definitely not a good spot if you're trying to catch up with someone and your voice doesn't carry. I couldn't actually hear the specials the server was telling us. I want to try out Vern's again, so I may wait until there's an outdoor table or ask to sit in the second level to see if that's quieter. We tried one of their spring menu appetizer items, the Japanese sweet potatoes with kimchi ranch and dill. One bite and I was addicted, these were so so good. We then moved on to the classics for entrees -- bee sting pizza and the ragu-- and we were amazed at how good everything was! The only note we had was about the pizza, it was very soggy in the middle but still edible if you rolled it over in itself. We also had a few cocktails, and while they were somewhat small, you could tell they weren't watered down in any way. Two drinks was more than enough for me. Overall it was a great experience and we want to try it again. If you're someone who struggles to enjoy a meal out where you can't hear much, maybe wait for outdoor tables.
