    Dining room
    Melissa C.

    Casual pizza dining place. This is walk up and order style and they make your food or pizza fresh. Dining room has an arcade which is nice for the kids! Beer on tap and you can order a pitcher. Pizza is really good and the shoe bites which are small pieces of dough served with marinara. Service is friendly and good. The servers bring your food and drinks to the table as well as left over pizza boxes.

    My daughter now lives in Valparaiso, IN. I came over to take my grandson out to lunch and this is the place he suggested: a locally-owned pizzeria just down the street with ample seating and parking. He likes the pepperoni pizza. I parked in the shade and we went in to order. Since I prefer no meats on my pizza, I just a $6.99 lunch special of a slice of cheese pizza, a large salad with Ranch dressing, and a soda for myself, and breadsticks and a medium pepperoni for him to take out for later as well. We didn't have to wait too long despite the counter personnel taking a lot of phone-in requests. The interior is a large rectangular room with college memorabilia from Purdue, IU and Syracuse. There's a small game room near the restroom. There are TVs mounted high on the wall for sports games. The place offers sliced pizza during lunch until 2pm. You get your choice of cheese, pepperoni or sausage. Pizzas come in mediums and large only. The crust is dense and doughy, but the sauce adds the spice. There is even wine and beer here, on tap or bottled.

    What a gem! I am so pleasantly surprised by the food choices in the Valpo area and I will be back,…read morebut I needed something light before some ice skating and the Rolling Stonebaker was in the perfect spot (THANKFULLY). I love a great wood fire pizza and this place is excellent. Small with a few tables, but filled with so many choices for both pizza, other items, and drinks. Love that they have a great spot to sell out of a window to those visiting the park area for events (SMART). The choices for pizzas had me wanting all of them, but I finally settled on the Sticky Finger and the Joker. I was so impressed with the Sticky Finger that I still think about those flavors all together. It was a perfect fit for my palate and I loved it. The Joker was also great and the hubby loved it. We had a peach old fashioned to share (needed that before busting our butts on the ice rink, liquid courage) and the staff was excellent with keeping our waters filled and making sure we were well taken care of. PROS: Great spot downtown, next to event center areas Wonderful choices to fit all tastebuds in pizza choices Cocktail choices that are fun CONS: Parking, at the center near the ice rink (you can walk there though)

Huge stone pizza oven that they make so many delicious menu items in. We ordered the mixed greens salad with dried apricots, goat cheese & almonds. It came with a balsamic & oil dressing. The container was too small for the salad. It was difficult to add dressing without losing half the salad. I shook up the dressing, but the balsamic vinegar was stuck to the container. They gladly gave me another dressing. Pizza was great & so was the crispy crust. We got the roasted corn pizza. So delicious. Fresh cilantro & jalapeños. It tasted like the herbs & veggies were just picked. It's small, so sized for 1 unless you get more to eat. The key lime triffle was so good. Homemade whipped cream. Pound cake, & key lime filling was rich, but refreshing. Triple X root beer hit the spot too. We didn't have any cocktails, but the menu had many different kinds that sounded amazing.

That being said, the pizzas with more toppings with a thicker cross seem to be really good. It's not the best pizza in the world, but really decent and the staff is always super friendly. Even on packed nights, they only have a couple servers, but the servers are fast. They really know how to hustle. It's pretty crowded in there on some nights places set up decently has a little stage in front in case they want to have a band. I like going there on Friday nights for karaoke. Just a heads up the place is super packed on a Friday evening, karaoke starts at seven and ends at 11. Everybody in their brother comes there for that to sing or just to sit and listen to other sing. The nice thing is is that since it is at a pizza place and it starts at seven anyone can sing, including children. The cutest youngest little girl I have seen sing did the K-pop demon hunters one of the songs from Matt and she was so adorable! Other kids have gotten up there and wow! They've blown me away with their voices and I feel funny going up there after them. There is a range of singers from new people that aren't the best at singing, but they love to sing and that's great! It takes a lot of courage to go up there. Everyone is super supportive and claps because like I said it's really hard to even go up there to even sing so the courage is really appreciated. It's such a friendly place and the owner is really nice and typically is working there too.

    I had driven my Gelsosomo's several times in Valparaiso. I had noticed the sign for lunch buffet…read moreseveral times and told myself I had to give it a try. What I saw was I felt like one of the saddest looking buffets I've ever seen. The buffet was 2 tables pushed together, a bowl of salad, a basket of breadsticks, individual marinara sauces, and 2 or 3 very large pizzas under a heat lamp. The presentation may not have been great but it turned out to be better than it looked. The ranch for the salad seemed to be made in house. When the pizza was freshly put on the buffet, the pizza was great. If it had been sitting under the heat lamp, it was not desirable as it was hard to chew. The price was ok for $12 with a water. I scratched that itch. I would order a pizza next time from Gelsosomo's instead of doing a buffet.

I arrived a few minutes early and was told it will be a few more minutes. Ok no problem. 15 minutes later my name still wasn't called. I walked past the window several times in the 15 minutes. The staff asked my name again and when I told him he pulled my pizza out of the warmer. I was livid! I was very clear as to my displeasure for having to wait even though the pizza had been done, and I wasn't notified. I believe smit was the manager who was standing next to the worker, so he knows what transpired. I've been ordering from them since they were located in Inman's Rec Center. I'm sure I'll order from them again. This better not happen again.

It's a corner lot and has its own parking lot. I was really surprised that we went on a random Friday night and were able to get in. It's not very large, but it seemed like they got people in and out pretty quick. I was told the garlic knots were amazing and the Alfredo sauce to die for. My friend was not wrong. I'd say the show stealer were the garlic knots. you had to pay extra for the Alfredo sauce but it was worth it. It was so good, I could've drank it. The knots were tender and covered in butter, cheese and garlic. Yum. The pizza crust was good, but I don't think the meatball topping was the best choice for me. We also got a side of onion rings because they were beer battered and I always have to try beer battered onion rings. It's very hard to find good ones and these definitely rank in the top 3 or 4 for me. I was disappointed that they didn't come with any sauce but there was a decent amount of them and they were super crispy. Very basic restaurant in a college area and with a visit for sure. If we go back I'll try one of their entrees.
