“ I got a menu in the mail. 2 chicken dishes $30. I got one crème based with artichoke and mushroom. EXCELLENT. The soup was very good as well as was the bread.. Sauce was really nice, pasta cooked right (rigatoni) ”
“ I ordered a large chicken cheesesteak pizza extra chicken steak and omg. It was so good!!!! The amount of chicken was definitely extra chicken... the crust still held up and wasn't soggy upon arrival. It was crispy and hot still. The man who took the order over the phone had excellent customer service and the woman who delivered the pie was so nice. Overall great experience and awesome food. Recommend x1000 ”
“ My favorite pizzeria by far. Not only are the people very friendly, the food is always phenomenal. If there's any inconveniences, they always make sure to compensate & genuinely care if you've had a good experience. Always clean, and very affordable compared to a lot of their competitors. Dining in is my favorite way to go with them but delivery is also always spot on. Highly recommend! ”

“ Ordered clams casino garlic knots and mussels marinara. They are the best. Really they are. You hv a customer for life. Thank you. ”
“ La Gondola has the best Italian hot dogs. It has been a very long time since I had an Italian hot dog good enough to boast about. But this place has them. The restaurant has a nice family atmosphere and everytime I go in there, they are very nice to me. I highly recommend this restaurant. ”
“ Doesn't look like much when you drive past, but this place has the best pizza! I've tried countless of pizza places all over the country, but their grandma's pizza is to die for. I've never heard of that style of pizza until 2 years ago, and now this is the only place I'll get pizza from. The crisp and buttery crust, sweet sauce, gooey cheese, and fresh pesto is an amazing combo. I will say there have been a few times where the crust was a little burnt, but i would still eat it nonetheless. ”
“ Great food, great staff, delicious food in a pinch and they have been consistently on point-when I have ordered or sat in for a quick bite. My favorite dish is their eggplant rollatini. Bread and pizza are delish too. ”
