Reviews
Update: My daughter thoroughly enjoys the Island Calamari. Beautifully and lightly breaded, accompanied by a wonderful garnish of marinated zucchini and a wonderful tomato-based dip that is a great alternative to the typical tomato cocktail sauce that every random restaurant tosses in with their overly breaded calamari.
Gio’s is a hidden gem in NEPA with honesty true NY style pizza and a beautifully crafted menu for all to enjoy. But, the entrees and soups widely vary from delivery to delivery. I truly believe in keeping my business local, but the inconsistency has become distressing, particularly when incorrect entrees are delivered and the same soup varies widely from different orders. I don’t quite understand what the issue is.
Update:
Tonight, as a rare treat I ordered from Gio’s and I’m sorry to say that the food is declining rapidly. I don’t want another free coupon for a bowl of soup; I simply want what I’m paying for. From the photos, you’ll see the sickly-orange “Grandma’s Penicillin soup. The menu described this as bone broth?? I don’t know what has happened, but when this first appeared on the menu, I ordered it and was delivered a rich brown hearty broth, with protein, pastina and a very delicate amount of cheese. (I wish I had taken a photo of it). But, as I do with almost every restaurant, I give things a second chance in case they had an “off” night. But as the photos will show, my “bone broth” was once again a sickly-orange, served with a few soup spoons of pastina, ZERO chicken, no herbs, vegetables or salt. It went from fabulous to hospital-grade chicken soup since it debuted.
The “Italian Stallion” is normally nothing more than what I normally order except I usually add mushrooms. Since the upchqrge from Gio’s for a sprinkling of simple, baby white mushrooms is $3 for a pie, I opted out of it. But my two takeaways from this pie was the simple lack of the menu quoted “fennel, black pepper sausage crumble” and the inconsistency of the pie’s cooking. There was hardly a sprinkling of sausage on the pie, perhaps a handful (at best), of sweet green peppers and overloaded with cheese. Almost $40 (and my soup was free after I raised these same issues about it the last time) is absurd.
Stick with their NY pie which is the thinnest you’ll find in NEPA, their calamari or their chicken Milanese.
I don’t take satisfaction is leaving a bad review; but the drastic change in such a short window of time makes me feel as if corners are being cut so early in what was a spectacular meal in the past. I don’t need another free bowl of soup, I’ll just buy a can next time instead: What really upset me was what put Gio’s in a class of their own in the past; the fresh basil leaves served with their pies. Take a look at the photo and ask yourself if you’d serve yourself a bug-eaten (see the hole), unwashed or thoroughly aged basil leaf to yourself? Let alone a paying customer? Just very disappointing. Perhaps I’ve had high-expectations from my previous orders, and my hopes previous missteps were just a restaurant having a bad night, but 2 bad experiences aren’t a good indicator to me of future orders.
Sorry!
Update: Incorrect entree delivered. And the Italian Wedding Soup has changed radically. I’m not sure what is happening. But when a customer pays for Chicken Milanese, he shouldn’t be delivered Chicken Parmigiana…See the photos…
The meatball sub was unusual as they seemed to have cut up the meatballs? There also wasn’t enough sauce. Other family member got a different sandwich and they agreed it also needed more sauce. The bread was good though.
Stick with the sourdough pizza and you will be happy.
Ordered two plain slices and a side of hand-cut fries to-go.
In the car, opened the fries and they were crispy, potato-y and delicious. Seriously some of the best around, and we have some good spots around the area.
After a five-minute drive home, opened the pizza and it still had a fantastically crisp undercarriage. Also had some fresh basil in the box which I really appreciated, since good pizza and fresh basil is a match made in heaven.
Delicious by itself and with the basil. Did not expect this level of “great,” but here are. Next time, I’ve gotta get the sesame baguette to try, along with a full tray
Do not sleep on this spot!
