Well we ended up coming back here after another visit to Idaho. We arrived and had to wait a little…read morewhile to allow the pit to get warmed up or refired as I believe they worded it. We were able to order drinks and bruschetta while we waited. The bruschetta came with 3 different kinds. "Select 3 options to personalize your platter: classic tomato & basil, marinated artichoke, roasted red pepper & ricotta." I really liked the classic tomato and basil the best. Coming in 2nd was the roasted red pepper & ricotta. The marinated artichoke was good but came in 3rd on my scale. Added some balsamic and oil to it and it was FIRE!!! We ordered the Don and Chicken Caesar salad again. The hot honey tasted delicious on the pizza. Everything was good. We LOVE their Pizza.

I placed my order around 2:15pm not realizing they stoke their ovens at 3:00pm. This pushed my order to 4:30pm ish. I gave them a call and without explaining she realized the problem and reached out to her manager/team to help me out. I thought at first maybe a glitch in the system but she let me know why my pizzas would take so long and then escalated the situation. Just want to say thank you, I don't expect to be treated like royalty but when you take the time to make others feel important and understand situations to improve the happiness of your customers, you will always be a 5 star in my book. Great job Emma!

It's rare to find a place that feels like home from the first visit, but Mamma Celeste's Gastropub…read moreis exactly that. We've been here numerous times, and it is long overdue that I give them the five stars they deserve. The Vibe & Hospitality tucked away in the corner of a shopping center on Los Altos, this is the definition of a true locals' spot. The history here is incredible--the owner, Jim, relocated and rebuilt this business after losing everything in the Paradise Camp Fire. That "rising from the ashes" spirit is reflected in the hospitality. Jim is constantly making rounds to ensure everyone feels welcome. If you get a visit from him at your table, you'll see exactly why this place has so much soul. Jen the manager is also amazing and consistently ensures the service is fantastic. The Patio & Pet-Friendly atmosphere the patio is a great space and is very pet-friendly. We've brought our beagle, Bodhi, and Jim even made a point to come out and say hello to him personally. Those small touches are what turn a restaurant into a favorite. The Food & Drinks the menu is top-tier. A few standouts from our many visits: * The Deep Dish Pizza: A total showstopper. When it hits the table, it literally turns heads across the entire restaurant. It requires a 45-minute prep time, but it is absolutely worth the wait. * Burgers & French Dip: The burger is easily one of the best in the Reno/Sparks area, and the French Dip is amazing. * The Wings: Often wings are just an afterthought, but these are really, really good. * The Bar: They have a solid craft beer selection (the flights are a must) and their Aperol Spritz and French 75 are perfectly executed. Whether you are looking for a great aesthetic, a lively sports bar energy, or just a high-quality meal, this is the spot. Support this local business--you won't regret it.

First off, I am really not a person who complains. Tonight was my first experience of multiple…read morevisits that they let me down. They had plenty of staff for the Wednesday night, ordered a calzone, after about 20 minutes I received a pizza. So they took the pizza and prepared a calzone, after about another 20 minutes it arrived at the table, meat inside was room temperature at best. Waitress takes it back to warm it up. We were surprised a manager never came over to check on us and apologize. She said that he was in back yelling at employees, never once did a manager address the problem with us the customer! Was charged full price with no sincere apology. I have been in the customer service industry and been a business owner for decades. Always valued my customers as they are the ones keeping the doors open. Giving 2 stars instead of 1 because I am pleased to say once we received hot food it was very good. Hopefully this is constructive criticism and I will see less poor reviews for this place.

We had the good luck of stumbling across Gambi's for a date night out, seeking fancy cocktails and…read moresmall bites. It's so close to us in Sparks, we've driven by it literally *thousands* of times on the freeway not knowing the genuine ~treasure~ that lies within the unassuming hotel frontage. Bonus: DJ Trivia happens here on out date night Thursdays! Howeverrrr, we were here for the food & drinks. Absolutely captivating cocktails & a nice menu of pasta dishes, standard fare like burgers/sandwiches/salads, pizzas etc but also truly elevated dishes like premium steaks & seafood. Great selection of apps too! We loved the calamari (some of the best I've had outside of wharfside Monterey!) juicy sliders, a lovely little bread basket, and their beet salad & sausage stuffed mushrooms are perfection. Every cockatkl weve tried was delsih, and they just added some new ones to keep us on our toes. Stop the press! I just learned they have breakfast too! Makes sense being the onsite restaurant for a hotel. The ambiance is what hooked us! Think the sexy love-child of the Goonies & Pirates of the Caribbean. Its fun, kitchy and you'll spot something eclectic every time you come back. Kids menu, small plates, brekkies, late night menu...you name it, Gambi's has it on lock. Don't drive by wondering what's inside, when you don't need to pillage or pirate your way to this gem!

The staff is always nice, but unfortunately for us the dough style and taste just isn't for us…read more The dough on three different pizzas was not completely cooked through. Ownership needs to do a thorough review of their dough production and also their oven because at some point in that process you either have hotspots on your oven or your dough is too cold coming out before it goes in and that's why it's raw on the top. The dough was cooked on the bottom 1/2. The chicken wings were basic food service style, and the sauce wasn't anything exponential. As someone who has worked in pizza many moons ago, across all platforms, the dough recipe and oven need some love.

They are cut like a chip with properties of a fry and delicious. Toppings go all the way to the edge on the pizza. I don't have a specific combo that is best as we did have some more picky topping eaters. There is an area that has some arcade games which is fun for the kids to play while waiting for the food and even after. It keeps them entertained. The times that we have been there, it has been quite busy but never really felt too loud.

Boulevard Pizza is a nice, family-friendly spot with friendly service and a casual old-school…read morepizza-joint vibe. It feels like the kind of place that works best if you're bringing kids, letting them play in the arcade, and making it more of an outing than just grabbing food. That said, the service was pretty slow. Even though it didn't seem very busy, it took around 30-40 minutes to get the food after calling it in, which felt a bit long. The pizza itself reminded me a lot of Shakey's because it use to be one, which was nostalgic and pretty good overall. But for the price, it did taste a little on the cheaper side and wasn't especially exciting. The biggest disappointment was the mojo potatoes. I was looking forward to them, but they came out greasy and tasted like they may have been cooked in older oil, so I didn't really enjoy them. Overall, Boulevard Pizza is decent if you're going for the family/arcade experience, but I probably wouldn't think of it as a great takeout or delivery-style pizza place. The surrounding area also feels a little rough, which may be worth keeping in mind depending on when you go.

I got the pineapple bbq and it had a hearty amount of chicken! But my visit started off on a rough note--I wasn't greeted when I walked in, just oddly stared at, and I had to initiate everything. When I got my food, the interaction was minimal--just a quick question about the receipt. I don't recall them even saying "Thank you". The vibe felt off, especially since it wasn't busy. My experience could have been improved with even a small amount of business-initiated interaction. I'm grateful that I got to try this place with Yelp's help. I might give them another shot, but if not, I probably won't be back.

If you're not in a hurry, don't mind waiting over 30 minutes for a simple cheese pizza, & don't…read moremind a "skeleton cheese" pizza with barely any cheese on it, then by all means, give this place a try. But if you're like me & value your time, expect good communication, & want a pizza that actually has a generous amount of cheese, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. I truly regret stopping here when I did. I only came in to ask if they sold pizza by the slice. They do, but no one informed me that the slices still needed 10-12 minutes before they could be served. They were sitting in the display case looking ready, so I naturally assumed they were available. Had I known about the wait, I would have made a different decision because I had a teen & a toddler waiting for me in the car. While waiting, I went next door to the dry cleaner for about 10 minutes. When I returned, I still had to wait another 5 minutes just for the 2 slices to finish heating. At that point, I decided to order a whole pizza instead, thinking it would be quicker since I was the 1st customer in line. I was told it would take 15-20 minutes. I went back to my car, waited 25 minutes, & returned to find my pizza still wasn't ready. Meanwhile, the group of 4 customers who ordered after me was already sitting at a table enjoying their pizza. I then watched another pizza being cut, assuming it was finally mine, but it was for that same group. I waited another 5 minutes before the employee simply said, "Sorry, yours is almost done." By this point, my "15-20 minute" wait had turned into about 35 minutes while my children sat waiting for me in a hot car. I let the employee know how unreasonable that was for a to-go order. Orders should be prepared in the sequence they're received, especially when someone has already been waiting that long. To make matters worse, when I finally got back to my car & opened the box, I was shocked. This was my 1st time ordering here, & the pizza had barely any cheese on it. After waiting 35 minutes, I expected a fresh, quality pizza, not one that looked like they were trying to save every last bit of cheese. The lack of communication, the excessive wait, & the disappointing quality made this a very frustrating experience. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. Since I was in a hurry to leave out of town, I did not bother to take pictures of the pizza with just tomato sauce lol I owe you all this pic. Until next review.

The pizza dough was perfect. The younger gentleman that helped with my pick up order was friendly, welcoming and thanked me for coming in. There were a few bigger groups in there.
