    Mr Gilberti's Place Chicago Pizza - The large deep dish pizza with meatballs as a topping

    What a surprise this place turned out to be. We were staying at the Cliffs at Long Creek and wanted…read moreto find a restaurant instead of going to Big Cedar. Unless you want to drive to Branson there's not too many other choices closer. So we decided to give Mr. Gilbert's place a try. It was about 7:30 PM when we arrived. Parking was a nightmare because the lot was entirely filled and they actually had a man in the parking lot helping people to find a place to park. We eventually did find a place to park and entered the restaurant. It was packed. We were greeted warmly and asked if we had a reservation. We did not have a reservation but we're seated immediately in the back dining area. Our drink orders were taken immediately and we were warned that if we were ordering a deep dish pizza that it would take anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour. We were good with that. We ordered the MR. GILBERTI'S SPECIALTY which was a deep dish pizza with Italian Sausage, Pepperoni, Canadian Bacon, Black Olives, Mushrooms, Marinated Green Peppers & Red Onions. SMALL 28.50 * MEDIUM 34.25 * LARGE 40.95. This is not your typical thick bread Chicago style pizza that you're accustomed to. Instead this was a crust which is more dense and approaching a cracker like consistency around the edges. It seems that the cheese is laid down first with the rest of the toppings layered on top and the sauce is the last thing that goes on. It's like an upside down pizza. However if you think about it, it's brilliant because the sauce doesn't make the crust get soggy on the bottom since it is on the top. My wife and I both agreed that it was one of the best tasting pizzas that we'd ever had. And a small was plenty for the two of us. For dessert we ordered the strawberry cream cake which was made in the house by a culinary school graduate who just also happened to be the owner. The strawberry cake layers were separated by a cheesecake filling. It was to-the-moon delicious. This is one of those rare restaurant finds. It's the kind of place you just might drive by without giving it a second thought. But I'll tell you, we are so glad that we took a chance because the pizza was fantastic. It is a very casual ambience but the staff was extremely friendly we felt like we were amongst friends. This will definitely be on our repeat visit list next time we come into this area.

    Based on my last couple of visits - I haven't been back to this place in a while. This visit, the…read morefood was back to being good - BUT, this place is pricing their stuff to the moon for what you get. A large meat pizza: $43.25. And let me tell you, the pizza is only a 14"....not that deep. I don't mind paying...but this is so out of line compared to what you get. Even a straight pepperoni or sausage pizza..you're paying plenty for what you get. Good taste...but dang have they continued to raise the prices. Salad for 2: $20.75 and the salad is smaller than it ever used to be. Toppings aren't as plentiful as they used to be. And the dressing...the salad didn't have squat. And I paid 2.50 more to get a couple of sides of more dressing....and they're coming in the small plastic ramekin. Gee, give me a break with the nickel and dime junk...when you're already charging $21 for the salad. I have always loved this place. And I can pay whatever....but out of principle...I won't for this place anymore. Sad...as I'm from Chicago and love what this place offered in the past. But now...I suggest Pizza by the Chef in Hollister. Want a meat pizza...Hercules at that place is awesome.
