Gusano's - Joplin

This is a great place to go and have a good time! The bathrooms are super clean, the food portions aren't the best. For the prices, you would expect to have a good portion. The sandwiches are the size of a slider. A full sandwich. The staff however knows how to give you a great experience and deliver a welcoming atmosphere.

Get here at 6pm on a Friday eve. Wasn't too busy. Only a couple large tables taken. Hour later. No pizza. Lot of people have came and went. Then the waitress says that the top oven is out. Tell us that would be a little bit longer. How long? Comes back and says 15 minutes. All the while other people are getting pizza delivered to their table. Doubt I will come back unless they make it right for wasting so much time and not letting people know that the ovens broke and there will be a longer delay on getting food. Things have changed since this last review. See my other reviews for an updated since this horrible visit.

Our FAVORITE pizza place in Joplin and surrounding areas!!! The sauce is FANTASTIC! I've tried other Chicago style pizzas and this is SOOOO GOOD!!! We actually ate here tonight!!!!

Let's start at the beginning. The waitress acted as if we were bothering her. She brought us our alters (they were out of Dr. Pepper and she did not tell us that until we asked for it) and slammed our cups down on the table. We ordered wings, bread sticks (as the appetizer) and a Chicago style moosehead pizza. Everything came out at once and was not even hot. It took 45 minutes to get to our table, mind you they were not busy at all. We asked for the habanero honey sauce as a side and it taste like franks hot sauce and smelled the same way. Highly disappointed especially after being told what a great place it was and how great the food was. The pizza was nothing but sauce as you can see in the pictures. I've had real Chicago style pizza and this was not it. The manager on duty (Coleman) was no help and just wanted to argue about everything. He offered to take off 10% of the total ticket. What a joke. He told us we were the worst customers because we complained about the food. The food was inedible. I do NOT recommend this place at all.

Super good. They make their own dough in house. My wife has celiac and she was able to get a gluten free pizza that actually tasted really good.
