The restaurant was spacious with a lot of seating and tables to choose from, and bathrooms were clean. The thin crust Napoletana was incredibly filling and delicious, and the pistachios were also quite good. It was an enjoyable experience overall.. Highly recommend!

I've been here before and I thought the pizza was fresh and tasted great. It tends to be a bit…read morecrispy or toasty so I'd you don't like that kind of thing then this won't be for you. Our party was of 5 and each pie had 6 to 8 slices. Everything was cooked fresh. The cannolis the first trip were very fresh but they load up the cannoli with powdered sugar and chocolate syrup so it was disappointing to learn you can't ask for them to be fresh made without all the 'extra'. The first trip came to just under $100 though for the small pies and a cannoli. No drinks. Fast fwd to today, I was craving some pizza and my youngest wanted to get ice cream and I recalled they had a small gelato selection. I also figured I'd grab a couple of cannoli but I didn't recall them being $5.50 a piece!... it's been a hot min though but that was fine. Today, however, the cannoli shell was SO soft so I'm glad I decided to take a bite while waiting on the FUNGI pizza (which was phenomenal btw- delicious!!)... the cannoli tasted and was clearly old and as crazy as it sounds a little windexy. So I asked for replacement thinking for $12+ dessert I'm not sticking with a soggy dessert - the young man working was kind enough to offer to make new fresh ones for me including eliminating all the sugar powder and syrup. I thought that was nice. I do like the fungi pizza a lot and it's very tasty. Including the plain from first visit and the white pie. I think my issue with the restaurant is the pricing is incredibly high for pizza that doesn't always scream' best in the area' and it's not an 'Italian' business. They are from Turkey but they do a great job with the look and feel of Italy. But we're authentic Italians know what "buffalo mozz is" and what is in cannoli cream so while it's good tasting.. it's not exactly what we'd expect.

When we ordered the lady said the pizza was small but it was enough for two people. We ordered a house salad which was full of olives (my fav) and creamy ranch parm dressing. There's nothing better. Ordered a pizza with veggies which were amazing and another with meatballs and olives (small bites). Both equally good. Our server at the bar was on it! She did not let us ask for anything. She kept our drinks filled and served our pizza. Great experience here and I know why it was so crowded.

The first thing I noticed was the friendly service. I was greeted as soon as I walked in, and the staff made me feel welcome while I waited for my order. As for the pizza, it just wasn't my favorite. The crust was much doughier than I expected, and I found myself wishing there was more sauce and more of the whole peeled tomatoes to balance everything out. The Italian sausage had good flavor, but the pizza as a whole felt a little too bread-heavy for my taste. That said, I don't want to judge the entire restaurant based on one pizza. Looking at the menu, they have a lot of different specialty pies, and it's very possible I just didn't order the one that best represents what they do. Overall, I'd give Gondolfo's Pizza 3/5 stars. The service was friendly and welcoming, but the Crostata didn't quite hit the mark for me. I would still recommend giving the restaurant a try, and I'd be interested in coming back to sample some of their other pizzas before making a final judgment.

Three of us ordered the lunch special, which you would think would be easily and readily available and served. We did not receive our food for 35 to 40 minutes. There were only two tables with people at them. One of my friends ordered coffee ($3) and asked for a warm-up/refill twice and we were charged for 3 cups of coffee!!! Basically $9 for a cup of coffee! She was freezing in the restaurant and needed coffee to keep warm because it took so incredibly long to get our food. I was charged for a Pepsi, even though I don't drink soda, because it was part of the lunchtime special. In addition, I was charged full price for my glass of Pinot Grigio rather than them taking $3 off. (the Pepsi would've been $3 and since I didn't get it, they should've applied that to my glass of wine, but they did not.) For the two of us who ordered wine with our lunch, we didn't get it for 35 minutes after we ordered it. Two simple glasses of wine! And by that time, there was no one else dining in the restaurant. CD The only positive I can say about our experience is that the pizza was very tasty and my friends meatball sub was good. I will not go back there again.

After my issues at the hotel, it just seemed that I was meant to go to Mellow Mushroom. I had never seen the Mellow Mushroom Downtown as it blended into the larger building. I was greeted when I arrived and seated in the bar area. I don't like high top seating but with the March Madness game on that meant I could watch the second half. My waitress was friendly and let me remove a topping from my pizza as I hate onions. I think she was the manager and doing many jobs at the same time. The white pizza wasn't bad. It was a good size and I couldn't finish it all. I had a pineapple drink that I enjoyed too. I will keep Mellow Mushroom in mind the next time I need a bite to eat in Wilmington.
