    I went to Gusano's with a couple of friends after we heard its the best deep dish in town. I would actually agree with that statement -- it's not like Chicago deep dish but it is the best in town haha. We got the veggie deep dish; it was decent, the sauce was great but the crust missed the spot -- it wasn't buttery enough so overall 3/5 stars.

    Chicago style!

    Pizza would be a four but service was about a three. Cool place and it was hopping in the bar area when we were there. (Chiefs were playing!) Maybe that's why the service was a little spotty. After we sat down, we realized that we had been to one of their other restaurants in Rogers. This one seems newer and the outdoor area is really cool. It must be great in summer. Deep dish was loaded but the crust was a bit different. We couldn't really put our finger on it....just OK. It's better than any chain option so we will probably give them another try.

    There seems to be three tiers of pizza joints anywhere I live. On the low end there is the Ceasar Ceasar and other fast food chains. I don't​ like any of them. Then there are​ the better grade chains like Godfather or Old Chicago. I do like these. And then there is the premium artisan style pizza joints with wood-fired​ ovens and herb gardens in back. I suppose there is another tier of beer house/pizza joints that are loud, with TV's everywhere and over priced food to pair with beer. Somehow, Gussano's live in the middle of all of this. Yes, it's​ a sports bar, yes its the kind of place college kids hang out in. But on the other hand​d its got really good premium pizza, calzones and other dishes. I honestly​ would not want to be in here during a big game, or when the coods are off campus and hanging out. That wasn't​​ even my scene when I was that age! We came in for a late Saturday​ lunch and were very pleased. Attentive service, great food everyone liked and priced about the same as the artisan or higher end pizza​ chains. We were pleasantly surprised and intend to come back soon.

    If you're looking for authentic Chicago deep dish style pizza, this isn't it. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean the pizza isn't good. It's just not your 4 inch thick amazing deep dish you can get in Chicago. They also have thin crust pizza and if that's your thing then you will probably love it. My Husband's favorite it the Big Cheese (yep, lots of cheese). They also have side sizes like sandwiches and calzone so plenty of options for the family.

    Moosehead.... YES! That's all I can say

    The pizza was alright. Wasn't really what I had hoped and the wait was longer than it should have been.

    Pizza has always been good here. We also had their cheesy sticks which had some strong herb action! Great beer selection too.

    Stopped by for dinner on our way through Joplin. Glad we did!…read more I ordered the new Chicken Potpie. I was warned that it would be bubbling hot because they cook it in the pizza oven, it wasn't a lie! I love my food hot! I even had to blow on it to cool it down. It wasn't perfection...only thing that would have been better is to have some potatoes in it, but it still was delicious. There was a good amount of chicken too, I'm stuffed and couldn't eat it all...I tried! Hubby had the Soy Glazed Salmon. It came with rice and broccoli. He really enjoyed it. It came highly recommended by Boston, our server. Great recommendation! Boston kept our drinks full and was very attentive. We will ask for his section when we are back in town. Bathrooms were clean and the restaurant was pretty full on a Sunday night. Definitely will go back when we are in the area! I saw a cheeseburger that look good too...next time!

    We liked the food here. They did bring me the wrong salad but I ate it anyway as I was starving and…read moreI don't mind a Caesar salad once in a while. I also ordered cheese curds and the were nice and hot. Everyone enjoyed their food. There were 5 of us. The waitress did notice they brought me the wrong salad and she offered to fix it but I said I was fine. I also had the Sunset Beach cocktail and you could definitely taste the blackberry. It was pretty good. We agreed we would eat here again.
