I've been going here since 1994 when they first opened. The place is smoky as heck, probably the same tables they had 30 years ago, but I've never had a bad meal there either. The trick for pizza slices is if you want them crispy you got to ask, they'll leave it in the oven for a little extra time for you. I ate there tonight staff is always super friendly. A+
I grew up in New York so I am always a bit wary when a place advertises their pie as New York style. However the crust, sauce to cheese ratio and overall flavor was on point. Both slices were purchased ala carte, not in a pie, and both were great. Would not hesitate to return here when craving pizza. Don’t expect a New York replica, because that’s not realistic, but expect something pretty damn satisfyingly close nonetheless! As far as atmosphere, it’s your basic mom and pop place with some nice tributes to New York. Service was prompt and courteous despite being very busy with takeout.
Guido's is one of my favorite places to get a slice or two of New York style pepperoni pizza. It has a fantastic taste. Excellent crust and refreshingly generous amount of cheese in a world going too light on most toppings. Always look forward to seeing what specialty pies they have and supporting their business. Wish the machines wouldn't ask for a tip when you're just standing up during the entire process. What "service" am I tipping for? Owners should pay their employees better and stop asking the customers to subsidize their hourly rate.
We ordered a sausage and basil pizza. We got a salt lick, dry-spinach pizza instead with only a few sausage pieces. The salt was to make the spinach mimic basil. Ever had fried spinach and salt on bread? It's nasty. So salty it makes your tongue burn and twist. But...they gave us a coupon for 1 free slice (unannounced and attached to the box), I guess to assuage their guilt. This level of purposeful deception will cost them. Place went to the birds. Best to go elsewhere.
Very smokey and hot inside. Outside was a beautiful night but flies everywhere.. Pizza was pretty tasty (7.8) despite being see-through floppy crust.
