Legit pizza! In Joplin, Missouri! You read right!…read more Me and my girlfriend shared a 12" NY style white + ricotta, basil, and tomato. You don't see a lot of real pizza in the four state area so it's quite refreshing to see. The crust was textbook NY pizza. High gluten, crisp yet soft, and with just enough bite. Our server Eric was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and very attentive throughout our meal. NYPD has 100% earned a place in our rotation!

We came in from out of town and were craving a good pizza, maybe a Chicago style. Found Gusano's…read moreand we were greeted by a very polite and professional Reagan. She also took our order and delivered a VERY tasty Chicago style pizza. The pizza did not disappoint. Great flavor and cooked to perfection. We also enjoyed a very good House Salad. Inside the restaurant were more than 7 or 8 televisions playing various sports events. At first the restaurant was not too busy. By the time we left it was packed. I now see why. I would highly recommend Gusano's Pizza to locals and anyone traveling in or near Joplin. Thanks Reagan for a great meal and dinner experience.

Being from Chicago, I was excited to find a pizza restaurant in Joplin Missouri and couldn't wait…read moreto sink my teeth in a Chicago Style Pizza right here in Missouri!.... After ordering a large deep dish with extra CHEESE sausage and pepperoni, my husband and I drove to the location on 7th street to pick up the pizza. Question: how is this establishment able to call themselves "Chicago Pizza??" The LARGE Pizza we ordered was the size of a medium pizza you would get in Chicago. The pizza sauce was too salty The sausage wasn't like Chicago at all! It came in the form of "sausage pellets" not the chunks of juicy, mouth-watering quarter sized pieces of sausage you would get at a real Chicago Pizzeria. I asked for EXTRA CHEESE, was charged for the extra cheese but the pizza hardly had any cheese on it that you would find on a authentic Chicago Pizza... The weirdest thing about this Missouri version of Chicago Pizza, is that they put the over salted tomato sauce they call pizza sauce ON TOP of the pizza! The CRUST was the worst part of all! The CRUST has the consistency of "crackers" not anywhere close to the crusty exterior, the chewy interior and the yeasty deliciousness of a real Chicago Pizza.... I never saw anything like it in my life. It was the type of pizza you would eat only if you are very hungry, and throwing the remaining slices in the trash. Fast food pizzas like Domino's and Pizza Hut have better pizza A big thumbs down.

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!
