" Unfortunately, my experience at Gargano's wasn't what I had hoped for. The pizza was decent but nothing special, and the service was rather slow. I had to wait a bit longer to place my order and then again for the food. The ambiance was nice, with its vintage decor, but that couldn’t make up for the delays I faced. I’ll likely give them another chance in hopes they have a better day, but my initial impression left me wanting more. " (*Curated Review*)

" Really enjoyed my first visit to Gargano's. I came here craving a good slice of pizza and was not disappointed! The cheese pizza was delicious, and the toppings were generous. I loved the atmosphere—it felt warm and inviting, making the entire experience more enjoyable. The staff was efficient and friendly, although it took a little bit longer to get my order. The only downside is it’s cash only, but I'd say it’s worth keeping cash on hand for amazing flavor! " (*Curated Review*)

" After moving to the area, I decided to check out Gargano's based on the reviews I read. I was completely impressed! The pizza reminded me of what I had in New York. It was that good! The crust was thin but strong enough to hold all the toppings without falling apart. The staff was warm and engaging, which made the experience even better. I totally understand why there's such a loyal customer base! " (*Curated Review*)

" The overall experience at Gargano's was mixed for us. While the food was enjoyable, we found that some of our orders came out incorrect. The pizza was delicious, but the cheesesteak I ordered was lacking in flavor and the bread could have been fresher. The ambiance is charming and reminds me of the classic pizzerias from the past, which I appreciated. The staff seemed friendly, but with a few hiccups in communication. I would still consider coming back, hoping for a more consistent experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had the chance to try Gargano's during a family visit, and it was a hit! The pizza was fantastic, made with fresh ingredients. Each bite filled us with flavor, and the kids preferred it over the pizza places nearby. The cash-only rule is a bit of a hassle, but it shows they focus on quality. The atmosphere is great, truly a gem in East Petersburg. I'm looking forward to making this my regular spot for pizza nights! " (*Curated Review*)

" Gargano's takes you on a journey back to the good old days! I love their pizza; it has a real homemade touch. Everything from the sauce to the cheese felt authentic and flavorful. The owner is super personable, which makes the whole dining experience even better. It was a bit crowded, so I recommend going during off-peak hours. And don't forget to bring cash, as they don’t accept cards. I plan on visiting again very soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the most amazing experience at Gargano's the other day. The staff were so welcoming and the owner made me feel right at home. I ordered the Stromboli and it was delectable, stuffed with quality ingredients and baked perfectly. It’s rare to find a place that puts this much love into their food. I appreciate the cash-only policy as it adds to its authenticity. This will definitely be my go-to place for pizza and subs! " (*Curated Review*)
