Awesome Authentic Napoletano food! All pizza dough, pastas, bread & desserts are made from scratch! This is as close to Naples as you can get!

I was expecting something else. I didn't like the pizza

My first time in and I ordered the Margherita pizza, caprese salad and the tiramisu. Was not disappointed. Everything tasted SO fresh! You can tell the owner uses genuine quality ingredients. Also got to meet the owner and she was very kind. A beautiful restaurant with delicious food.

Went here for lunch with my mother, we ordered a margarita pizza and a cal zone which is a Pizza Fritta and it was fantastic, my mother is Sicilian so after we were finish she spent like 3 days talking to the owner about where she was from, the authenticity, and to never change for anyone, as the owner agreed and explained that there were people complaining because it wasnt what they like due to...

Went here for lunch with my mother, we ordered a margarita pizza and a cal zone which is a Pizza Fritta and it was fantastic, my mother is Sicilian so after we were finish she spent like 3 days talking to the owner about where she was from, the authenticity, and to never change for anyone, as the owner agreed and explained that there were people complaining because it wasnt what they like due to it be authentic and not Americanized . I Agreed 1000% this is one of the few places that state authentic and actually is. To much pandering in America and im very thank full for this place to bring a little bit of Italy back here so that my mom could relive her childhood. Food = 10 Authenticity = 10. i love how i could taste the wine in the sauce. Bravo Less

Get the marinara pizza if you don’t eat cheese! It’s flavorful. I added the spicy salame calabrase too. It’s wood fired and thin crust, absolutely delicious. The ladies that work with the owner are very sweet. The bean dip and hummus *chef’s kiss*

Phenomenal!!! Please close later during the weekday. 8 pm on a Thursday is too early. I need more of your pizza!

E’ tutti buono !!! Authentic and delicious.

A special place for people that want to feel like Naples. A wonderful small restaurant with a taste of Naples. Today it was a pastrami and arugula panini. Crostini with fresh figs for an appetizer!

Really good pizza and fast service. We had a group of 10 and they just kept bringing them out as they were ready.

This is the closest you can get to the true & traditional Italian pizza in probably 100 mile radius of Fayetteville. Even the setup is traditional. Loved the food, service, and atmosphere.

Return trip soon!!! When you walk in you get hit with the most amazing smells!!!! The food was even more amazing!!!! FRESH INGREDIENTS gave my pizzas and bread the great taste I expected when I walked in. The owner is great, funny and knows pizza ( and other food). Looking forward to trying her jams. So worth the stop and extra hour on my way up north.

Genuine Neapolitan Pizzaiuolo is a rare treat in NC.

I cannot believe I waited so long to go here. Went with my family and we all got different pizzas, and tiramisu. Everything about it was delicious!! This is my new favorite pizza restaurant. The owner and all of the staff were so welcoming and nice. The vibe inside was great. Cant wait to go back, often.

Had a great date night! Pizza was fabulous and the wine was really great! Great brick fired pizza! Good came out very quickly! They also sell wine! Great local restaurant, please support local owners! Will definitely be repeat customers!!! Prices were great!

fantastic pizza. large dessert portions. friendly staff. you really can't go wrong here.

I’m from NYC and this is the closest pizza I’ve found comparable. Thin crust, wood fired and everything is made from scratch. Price a bit high but if you’re not feeding a family of 6 it’s SO worth it! Desserts are prime to. I’ve NEVER had a bad experience, always prime. The owner is from Italy and she reminds me of my grandmas, a little fisety but knows what she’s talking about! Eat there or or... More

Não gostei da pizza! Borda muito grossa e dura. Sem sabor. Aqui em Fayetteville não existe uma pizza boa.

Food and service was excellent (Översatt av Google) Mat och service var utmärkt

I was expecting your run of the mill pizzeria, but this place has a different caliber of pizza. Definitely not what I expected, but very good. The food is a little pricey, but in my opinion, it's well worth it. The freshest ingredients, amazing flavor, wood fired pizza. Definitely worth a shot if you're in the area.

Talked with the owner Nadia read the reviews you definitely have to try this restaurant across from Harris Teeters on Raeford Rd. Fayetteville NC

First time visiting today - will definitely be a return customer. The staff was friendly and engaging, the food had bright flavors, and the atmosphere felt like you were sitting in a family members kitchen. Not a lot of indoor seating so call ahead to see how busy they are. Definitely worth visiting or placing an order for takeout.

Best pizza in town. I’m from NYC and this is by far the very best pizza! It is not American pizza. So don’t be surprised if it’s different. Fresh dough. Fresh ingredients and authentic taste. My picky kid ate half a pizza and loved it. Great wine and nice atmosphere. Will order every week and can’t wait to try the pasta.

The food is excellent and the service is great!

Enjoyed a quick & simple lunch with may daughter. Friendly staff, clean restaurant, and conscious owner. Had the panini Parmigiano < a repeat for me> & Spinich Pizza Fritta. Fresh & delicious.

I have been a customer from when they first open. Still a customer. You cannot find more authentic Neapolitan pizza anywhere in this town. And the pasta specials! Just like in Italy, cooked right.

It's embarrassing to say this is napoleon style pizza! me and my friends ordered the most simple pizza (margharita) and we both even agreed the pizza is all dough and was not cooked evenly throughout, which is a big rookie mistake especially when Naples is known for their pizza.

Why would you disgrace our country like this! When using a brick oven you have to know what your doing and how quickly to rotate the pizza for a evenly cooked pie shouldn't take more then 60-90 seconds, Though you can clearly tell this lady is americanized or trained by a community college. I would rather go to Elizabeth's where the owners are really from Naples and actually have the experience to know how to turn a pizza correctly. It's no surprise to see why this restaurant shutdown so many times now. Me and my friends will not be back, absolutely awful. Less

Very nice and real italian pizza.

She takes pride in their authenticity. We ordered the traditional margherita and the Fancy Goat Pizza, baked in a traditional brick oven that is easily observed from your seat and delivered to your table in no time at all. One size for all, but it is very light and filling and doesnt leave you feeling engorged or disgusted. All ingredients are made from scratch and the pizzas are reasonably priced. Looking forward to going back again. Less

I am so happy to find authentic Italian food. My favorite is the pizza fritta because it is beyond delicious and reminds me of the fritelli's I used to order when I lived in Italy.

Amazing food and wine selection. If you haven't tried the weekly pasta specials, you are missing out on one of the greatest pleasures of life. The desserts are what dreams are made of.

Awesome fresh made pizza as always. Great wine selection. Desserts are on point, too…”take the cannoli”. Haha. And don’t forget to check on the counter for miscellaneous fresh made items like jelly or other desserts.

Wonderful food, great service, they even made gluten free pasta (with advance notice) for my husband.

This is real deal Italian/Neapolitan pizza. Fayetteville ppl looking for the genuine article get there as soon as you can!

Four stars for the pizza I have had it a few times and it is good. I ate the pasta excited, penne vodka is my favorite, but I ate one piece. The website did not say it had meat when I placed an order. So yeah I knew the taste saw bits of meat in it. It was 12$, expensive for the tiny amount you get and I had ordered two.

Im sure the others are good but taste is individualized. They did not enjoy it either. Probably wont order the pasta ever. Less

I love the pizza. It is really good. If you want NY or American this is not it. Go to another place for that. Reminds me of some of the places in NY I had that were Italian.

My boyfriend and I went here the first time the other weekend. The food is amazing! The pizza is authentic unlike domino's etc. Great prices too. The atmosphere of cozy, the restaurant is nice and I love the area of fresh basil that's growing!! The lady who runs the restaurant is kind as well and we enjoyed chatting with her. Definitely my new favorite restaurant and we will be back.

Delicious food beautiful presentation. I have no complaints.

5 stars. Food is delicous!

Only one word comes to mind: WOW!!! We have been in NC for about six years and often lamented that pizza in and around Fayetteville was decent at best. Gusto’s is definitely the best pizza in Fayetteville without question. We definitely look forward to making this our go to place for pizza.

To Glenda who reviewed this place three days ago- the owner/chef was probably in a bad mood because she had a death in the family that day. Give it time, and try it again.

DO NOT: expect greasy, salty, american pizza. Do not expect wall to wall cheese and sauce. DO expect healthy food, even the Tiramisu! Do expect the owner to have that "Italian flair"!! The restaurant may not be for everybody (those without taste, those without a sense of humor or can't take a joke) but it's darn sure for me. Every time I go in there it's kind of like a raucous episode of Cheers. While business is going full-bore and trust me- it gets CRAZY BUSY in there, the staff are still attentive enough and good enough to make it feel like home. I LOVE THIS PLACE! Less

Overpriced and very mean atmosphere didn't feel welcomed at all

Coming from a full Italian mother it's hard to find good Italian food without making it at home but here it's always the best

Very authentic Italian restaurant with adorable atmosphere! Must try Fancy Goat pizza.

Delicious pizza, friendly staff. Must try

Great food…..great customer service! Will be back!!!!

La pizza estava muy buena aunque havia muy poca cantidad de alimentos.

I cannot with this pizza. It reminds me of saturday’s back home, when we would go to Napoli Pizza. Nadia is the sweetest, most enabling host. Came for one Pizza, left after eating two, tons of Lambrusco and Dessert ❤️ Our favorite!!!

Tried their Pizza... Amazing! Highly recommend.

Moving here I was so frustrated with the options of restaurants…. But then we found this place.. HEAVEN! Chef Nadia is amazing, you can tell she loves what she does. Her Pizzas are comfort food. Simple, straight forward flavors that will warm your soul! Have some red wine with it and you can imagine you’re in Italy. Already looking forward to my next pizza.

This place is amazing! Authentic Italian pizza that I haven’t had since Naples, Italy! Great atmosphere. The owner comes around and makes a friendly encounter. You don’t get that now and days. Thank you for the amazing experience and great company!

Watching my pizza being cooked in an wood burning brick over was very cool. The pizza was delicious and the chef even recommended a great wine to go with it. Definitely will back

Come on out and eat the best za in town! Super authentic and made fresh!

This carbonara was 🤌 SO GOOD! Tonight was our first date night in months and I’m so glad we chose to come here! Really friendly staff and incredible food! Will absolutely be coming back! Thank you! ❤️

Food was amazing! Best pizza ever! Service was great. They even offer cooking classes. Stop by if you are in the area!

I haven’t had real Italian pizza this good since I was a child. I will be coming here again and bringing friends. This food is worth every bite and the atmosphere of the restaurant reminds me of the Italians in my family. I am so excited to have found a genuine pizzeria in North Carolina. 😊😋

You & your family will love it! (Lasagna is also available by special order) Less

This is TRUE italian food. The chef is a master at knowing her art and her passion for this shows. If I could, I would work here just to learn her beautiful ways of true italian cooking. The atmosphere is small, friendly, and welcoming. I will absolutely be returning. Thank you for a beautiful food experience.

Had the newest pizza, the Porky Fig and it was absolutely scrumptious!!! Very cute dining area and a real wood fire stove that is lovely to watch. Tiramisu also top notch!! Creamy and not overly sweet.

Loved it, so thankful friends told me about Gusto Napolitano.

Ate here for lunch on Saturday. The restaurant and restrooms were clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. The restaurant is small with not alot of seating. They have a limited supply of drink choices, the do have a number of wines available. The food we got: Margherita Pizza, Spinach and Ricotta Pizza Fritta and Cannoli were good. The pizza fritta was very good.

This is the best pizza place I’ve found outside of Italy!! I can’t wait to come back!!

Expected to be adopted into her extended Italian family and maybe a culinary history lesson. Don't expect food like most anywhere else in the United States

LOVE! After living in Italy I miss the food so much. Tonight my husband and I got eight pizzas for our family. The food took me right back to the family-owned restaurants that we would walk to and have dinner when we lived in Italy. The restaurant was very clean and everyone was extremely friendly.

This place is garbage. It will take u 2 hrs to get ur pizza the owner and staff are rude. The Decor does not make any sense the place is dirty. Go to Pizza Hut it’s much better.

Estremamente delizioso .. autentico gusto italiano..

As usual, Great Pizza and Service.

Great staff great food

Hidden gem in Fayetteville! You are missing out if you haven't tried Gusto!

They have wood fired pizza guys!! Was so good, super fresh and just over all wonderful. Can’t wait to come back!

Eccellent restaurant. The chef is real Neapolitan lady, very friendly and prepares magnificant dishes.

Very cozy environment with a brick oven in view so you can watch your pizza being made using fresh ingredients. Pizza are delicious as well as comforting. Staff are friendly to the point it felt I was in a family home. Gusto ruined other pizza places for me! Cannot wait to go back again!! <3

Only place I buy pizza now. Clean Ingredients and I don’t feel awful after eating like I do everywhere else. Always great quality, fast made and the sweetest and most helpful customer service ever 10/10.

She has worked very hard to create an authentic atmosphere, where the staff truly care for its clientele. You rarely get that from a chain. ~ Melissa Dixon Less

This is an incredible restaurant, making pizza the hard and right way. I love getting a pie from this place. CW

Amazing food, amazing people! I first met Chef Minneti when taking my first course in food prep at FTCC. She was an amazing, fun loving, knowledgeable teacher who really knows her Italian cooking! Be sure to stop in and give it a try.

Fabulous food! Fayetteville is blessed to have such a place! I get a pizza from here every week (sometimes more than once). This place and the Indian restaurant keep me alive in Fayetteville.

The best Italian restaurant ever! I'm from Italy and really know how italian food have to be; I strongly suggest it!

I didn't think I could eat such a good pizza far from Italy ... Non credevo di poter mangiare una pizza così buona lontano dall'Italia... (Translated by Google) I didn't think I could eat such a good pizza far from Italy ... I didn't think I could eat such a good pizza far from Italy ...

Delicious food. We got the Bianca pizza with sausage and the Fancy Goat. Both fresh and sooo yummy 😋 we also got the torte caprise omg melts in your mouth! If you get the chance, check this place out. You won't regret it.

Real Italian pizza. Delicious desserts

Authentic Italian pizza. The food was amazing and the staff were super friendly. Definitely going to visit again!

This was our first time going here for lunch and OMG I came back hours later to get a pizza and I’m floored to how delicious every single bite was. I love how authentic it is and how pepperoni is not Italian. We will definitely come back for lunch and dinner. Best place in Fayetteville by far.

Hands down the best pizza in town in my opinion. We ordered a ham arancini, two diavolas, two margheritas, and five cannolis for takeout. Delicious and authentic! They also have wine imported from Italy. Bottom line: This will be our new pizza spot.

This restaurant is absolutely amazing!

Easily some of the best pizza I’ve ever had!

I highly recommend buying food from here. The best pizza ever.

If you want best traditional Italian and absolutely incredible wood fired pizza anywhere in the state?! Swing by Gusto! Absolutely the best pizza ANYWHERE IN NC!

AMAZING!!!!! OH MY GOODNESS, A must have authentic food from the boot! 3 words " Deep fried cheesecake "

Blind trust report: 1.They gave 4 star quality service. 2. Fist time vibes. 3. Pizza was great served hot. 4. In my opinion all restaurants receive 3 stars out of my standard rating scale in the blind trust report. How well can you blindly trust your restaurant? I review random locations.

We had Gusto Napoletano Pizzeria and Italian Restaurant tonight for the first time! We’ve been meaning to try it. Super yummy pizza & arancini. Toddler approved too 😉 Will definitely be back to try more pizzas!

Some people eat to live, well, I live to eat!!! Tonight, I tried a delicious bowl of bucatini and caprese salad. The pasta was hollow on the inside and fun to eat. Great service! #foodie

Had the cheese cake for dessert it was delicious, Can't wait to try the others. I would go after 6pm. They are hopping till then. Then it slows down. Will be back to support this small business.

Ordered a tiramisu cake, was great!

Excellent brick oven pizza. Coming from a New Yorker as well

Incredible pizza!! Can’t wait to go back for more.

Not a fan of the pizza made here but to each it's own. Very friendly staff and very cool concept. The crust to me had a very weird flavor and the sauce was to watered down for our taste. Please check them out for yourself, as my father always said "at least try it once so that you know".

Seriously everything was amazing

I ordered 2 pizza's, 2 cannoli's and 2 tiramisu for over $60. I have had a lot of wood fire pizza in other places; but here the bottom of the pizza was burnt, not charred. The tiramisu was one layer and watery and not by expresso. Meh

Nadia is from Naples and taught culinary arts for over a decade before opening this lovely little place. She does everything to perfection…and demands that it be authentic. Excellent…at every level. And this is coming from a world traveler who has eaten (the best) pizzas in New York…and Chicago…and Italy. Well done. Very well done.

Absolutely delicious! An amazing “hole in the wall” authentic Italian restaurant. Every thing is made to order and fresh. My 3 year old son loved the “pepperoni” pizza. We tried the ham rice balls - amazing!! And there are no words for the fried cheesecake. We will be returning!

My Bae (Chris) loves oven brick pizza and we stumbled across this little hidden gem. He and I have both been to Italy so we know how Italian pizza tastes. This place is definitely somewhere to go if you are looking for authentic Italian pizzas. The owner, Nadia, welcomed us and gave us great customer service. She explained that all the ingredients used are imported from Italy. She is also one of the few female certified Neopolitan pizza maker. She explained the process of becoming a certified pizza maker. She also said she’s been at this location for 2 years. I have lived in the Fayetteville area for 11 years and haven’t heard of this place. If it weren’t for Chris to want oven bricked pizza, I still wouldn’t haven’t tried this place. We ordered the margherita pizza, salami pizza fritta, rice balls, and a caprese salad. Everything was delicious. I then ordered a spinach fritta as everything tasted great. The deep fried fritta was flavorful and they even have a Nutella one that I am going to try the next time I go there. The margherita pizza was very simply made but it was packed with flavor. You can taste the love that is put into their food. I would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting authentic Italian pizza. Nadia also does pasta Tuesday’s which is different every week. She said to check out her Facebook and Instagram pages to see what is available that day. Please check them out if you are in the Harris Teeter area as they are right across from there. The name of the restaurant is Gusto (which in means “Like” in Filipino). Less

I saw on Facebook they where needing more ppl to come in because of financial situation but then they turn away a customer 20 min before closing. Less

Incredibly wonderful spot in Fayetteville. The food and staff here are amazingly talented. A definite must for the Italian food lover.

Great pizza and a friendly staff. I will be back again soon. For those folks that have not had this type of pizza before, its best to eat it in the restaurant.

Gusto is a young small business that is owned and operated by women. They have incredible and authentic wood fired Neapolitan style pizza, which is much different than the standard American style chain pizza many grew up eating. Gusto is far superior to most wood fire pizza places because of their dedication to ingredients, traditional processes, and the craft of pizza making in accordance with Neapolitan Pizza Association (Associazione Verace Pizza napoletana,AVPN). The dough is freshly made from imported Italian 00 flour that has high protein content and is fermented for 24 hours to create a pillowy, chewy crust that is also crisp because it is cooked at around 100°F. This high-heat application causes heavy browning on the bottom and outside crust. This is highly desirable in this type of pizza and is called "leoparding." They have great wines and quality desserts. Admittedly, they are still growing and refining their processes. But it is impossible to beat the pizza quality and the love that Chef Nadia puts into all the dishes, which represents the type of passion that people from Napoli have for their food. She is AVPN certified and creating wonderful food to share with the community. Less

Fantastic Pizza and a truly Italian Restaurant. The owner is amazing and a great cook. The have a great wine selection. You have to try it. From a former New Yorker who loves Pizza.

Best calzone I ever had and I’ve been to jersey and NYC

Amazing !!!! No where in Fayetteville compares to this authentic experience.

I was a first timer tonight! Also my first time having “real” pizza I suppose. Boy oh boy I don’t think I’ll ever have anything else after this! Even with nothing on it, the crust was GREAT and this is coming from someone who is not a crust-eater. I loved the feeling of not feeling nasty and sick to my stomach after eating a pizza as I usually do. The desserts were also good. We will be back!

Highly recommend. Yummy pizza!

I have worked at this restaurant for six months now, and I have to say that it is a wonderful experience! I have learned so much about Italian food!

I am especially fond of the authentic pizzas baked in the wood burning oven.

The ABSOLUTE BEST pizza in ALL of the Carolinas. Truly made with care in front of you by the OWNER. All wood fired. You will eat no other pizza after your visit.

Vary good and authentic Italian pizza

The absolute best pizza in Fayetteville!!!👍

Delicious and great service!!!

Love the pizza.

Came here today for the 1st time. The Food was just ok. The Rice Balls didn't taste Freshly made . If they offered Pasta everyday I would be willing to give this place another try. But for now it's a One and Done. I also want to add that when I came in it took a good 30 seconds to be greeted. It's a small shop, Customers should be greeted immediately.

This was the Prosciutto and Funghi with ricotta, mozzarella, basil, ham mushrooms. We also had the Blue Pig with Capocollo ,Blue cheese,ricotta, caramelized onion and basil. For desert they have pastries we tried the Almond cake it was like a very moist scone very good. All on all a great place for that down home Italian. Less

What a nice spot! I had a panini and a glass of wine for lunch, both were phenomenal! The chef is very friendly and informative. The ingredients were fresh and you can taste that they care about what they do! Thanks to all, will return soon!

Pizza Rate: 9.1. Even though im not a big Neapolitan pizza fan. This pizza is absolutely great! The ingredients are so fresh and the owners really put the time and effort to prep the dough. The restaurants have a boutique vibe and they have wines available to pair with the pizza. I'll be back!!!

Our absolute favorite pizza in the state! Amazing woman who owns and runs the place, great atmosphere, the SMELL of Heaven punches you in the face the second the door opens.. and everything is so flavorful. We always get the Margarita, the Fancy Goat, and the Horne Goat. All favorites. 😎

Amazing. Thats really all I can say about Gusto Napoletano. Absolutely amazing.

Fayetteville’s hidden gem!

We ordered lunch recently, I got the pizza fritta and my husband got the saltinbocca. The pizza fritta was amazing! Best I've ever had. The crust is so delicious and crispy, the filling is very flavorful and doesn't make the crust soggy.

Great pies. Love the Margarita and Bianca. Perfect crust every time. Recommend this place above all others in the area. This was my second time there, my new favorite spot. #onebite #everbodyknowsthrrules

Hands down the BEST Italian food in the region. We will always be customers. The quality is outstanding and consistent.

Wow - what a great hidden gem! Authentic, homemade Italian delicacies like pizza, calzones, arancini, etc. Put down that corporate pizza and come here.

Amazing! Don’t skimp on the dessert either. Get it all!

This is some of the most incredible food I’ve ever tasted. If I could give ten stars I would. Friendly staff, authentic pizza, and DELICIOUS fried cheesecake. You won’t regret stopping here.

Excellent Italian Pizza!!!!

Amazing food, no covid protections, won't go back anytime soon.

Best pizza I have ever had! We also had a wonderful time at Italian bingo night! Fantastic staff and owner. Thank you!

Great pizza! First time customer! Will go again! Delicious flavor! However, I counted 14 ppl (customers and employees) without mask. The place was not hot enough to be without mask and employees were not practicing save distance.

They have an authentic neapolitan pizza. The service is great!

Soooo good!

Visited for lunch today for the first time. Thoroughly enjoyed my pizza. I will definitely be returning. I love Neapolitan pizza, and this hit the spot. Highly recommend.

I thourghly enjoyed it. This was my first time and I most definitely will go again.

If you haven't tried Gusto yet you are missing out! We attended a wine tasting and it was fabulous! The food and the wine was delicious!

This is the first authentic Neopolitan pizza I've had outside Italy and it was fantasitc! My daughter and I love it.

If you want a light, refreshing, crispy pizza that isn't greasy, spicy or heavy, this is the way to go. There's something to be said for letting quality ingredients speak for themselves. In my opinion, the pizzas are of a "very generous personal" size or perhaps the perfect size for two light eaters, as shown in the pictures on the website. We tried dessert too. The Torta Caprese was delicous! We will be back. Less

I’m so disappointed. $40 for 2 pizzas?? The online menu said they were $12 and $16 so how does that add up to $37? Was that imitation crab salad really $10?? Nobody was wearing a mask inside, I almost wanted to just leave the food we ordered and say never mind but my bf was hangry and it wouldn’t have ended well.

Nobody was wearing a mask inside, I almost wanted to just leave the food we ordered and say never mind but my bf was hangry and it wouldn’t have ended well. Two stars only because the crust was a very good Neapolitan-style crust. The margherita pizza had 80% too much sauce. The “horny goat” pizza was bland and boring with pretty gross pepperoni (was supposed to be salame calabrese). Really, incredibly disappointed with this experience. Less

Ok so the pizza is good but I guess I was expecting to be blown away. However when you walk up to the door there’s all these random messages printed out from a computer on regular paper stuck on the windows. It looks absurd, and from a marketing standpoint can be very customer unfriendly. “ Restrooms for Customers only!”; “No pepperoni, it’s not Italian”!. etc. Others are friendly but they are j... More

Ok so the pizza is good but I guess I was expecting to be blown away. However when you walk up to the door there’s all these random messages printed out from a computer on regular paper stuck on the windows. It looks absurd, and from a marketing standpoint can be very customer unfriendly. “ Restrooms for Customers only!”; “No pepperoni, it’s not Italian”!. etc. Others are friendly but they are just slapped on the window like a crazy person did ‘em. It doesn’t project a high quality image before you even walk in. Just a suggestion; look at it for yourself. Less

Haven't even tasted it yet but as a native of Pittsburgh PA...i grew up with Italians, raised Italian. The service, the place, the authenticity is spot on. Definitely come here if you want real deal neopolitan pizza

Absolutely delicious

This place is simply amazing! I’ve been here 3 times in the last week and each experience has been stellar. Chef Nadia has amazing charm and truly cares about the craftsmanship of her food. Everything I’ve had has been delicious and memorable, but my favorite is the Nutella Pizza Fritta. I’ll be a customer as long as she’s open!

Great pizza and wonderful people! Support local business!

If you're looking for from scratch italian good then look no further!

It was ok pizza. But they had a young guy in the back coughing Wiping his nose and going about his business. Hope he isn't handling food. There was no hand washing after that display.

Such a wonderful restaurant! I enjoyed a fantastically made, wood-fired pizza, and got to see it prepared and cooked in the beautiful oven there in the dining room. Each ingredient was well-accentuated, and the crust was probably the best part of the meal...till I had the fresh blueberry cheescake for dessert! Will definitely be going back.

Wanted to love this place but the pizza was over cooked/burnt on the bottom and the cannolis tasted off. I’ve been to Italy multiple times so yes, I know what real Italian food tastes like. I was also overcharged. Unfortunately, I won’t go back due to the above mentioned reasons. I always want to support small business but be honest with customers, it’s not worth the extra $1 or $2.

This is not the type of pizza that most Americans are accustomed to. These pizzas are small, wood fired masterpieces with light toppings that accentuate the fresh flavor of each ingredient. The sauce is delicious, and the cheese is quite good. The dough is lite and chewy with a pleasant, woodsy flavor baked in. The pizza would pair well with a small salad.

This is not the type of pizza that most Americans are accustomed to. These pizzas are small, wood fired masterpieces with light toppings that accentuate the fresh flavor of each ingredient. The sauce is delicious, and the cheese is quite good. The dough is lite and chewy with a pleasant, woodsy flavor baked in. The pizza would pair well with a small salad. Though I did miss some pepperoni or chicken on the pizza, I believe that these little marvels are perfectly tasty on their own. I would strongly recommend getting at least two if you are hungry, though, because you might start craving more after finishing just one. Less

I 've been waiting for an italian true pizza for a long time...and my wishes came true. When we stop at Gusto its like to be back to the place where I came up...its comfortable ....original... warming .....pizza hand made in the fire wood....so good ....so unique❤.

We just moved from Italy and this place takes me back. Our Friday night pizza night may live on. La pizza è molto buona. 😋

Nadia is the bomb. Give her your money.

I been there today for the first time for some “chiacchere” and pizza fritta and I already can’t wait to go back and try the pizza out, DELICIOUS!

Awesome food!!

This place it is amazing , a jump in Italy in everyway food it is incredible thank you

This is true Italian pizza and reminds me of our times in Italy. There is a magic in the simplicity of the sauce, for example. The wood burning oven brings out the flavor of the crust, the melted cheese and fresh basil. Perfecto!!!

No need to travel to Italy for pizza. We have it in Fayetteville and it's fantastic! It was so good I plan to get a different one each Friday night for the next two months.

Authentic Italian pizza! Best pizza since Naples! Definitely stop by and try the pizza,the arancini or the paninis! Everything we've tried has been delicious! You won't be disappointed!

If you want a true Italian experience this is the place to go. I had been wanting pizza like I had in Florence and this was an identical taste. The staff were also very kind!

My fiancée and I just ate here, and I have to say...it is fantastic! My family hales from Salerno, so I grew up eating authentic Italian. It has always been so difficult for me to find authentic Italian food (and I usually hate eating out at “Italian” restaurants, because it’s Americanized), so I was pleasantly surprised to see a new Italian restaurant pop up in Fayetteville.

This quaint and comfy restaurant is perfect for anyone interested in trying authentic pies. Delicious Less

Pizza was awesome! Nothing like it anywhere in Fayetteville. Not your standard American pizza, this is the real deal!

Best Neapolitan street food, like the original pizza Margerita baked in a wood-fired oven....

Amazing food, great people and service. Veteran owned.

The food was great! The menu is confusing if you aren't familiar with authentic Italian food. There are only three tables so you most likely will have to get it to go. I hope they redesign the front so they can add more tables, there's a lot of wasted space. Overall though, I definitely would go back for the food and I recommend this new restaurant in Fayetteville.

DELICIOUSSSSS!!! I’ve had the Margherita pizza & eggplant parm panini and both were so good. The freshness and quality are amazing. She stays true to her roots and there’s no place else like it!!

My wife and I ate there today and the wood-fired pizza is great! Nadia the owner, is from Italy and she doesn’t serve the typical American-style pizza. So no pepperoni for you!
