" Despite its age, Garcia's delivers an experience unlike any other. The pizza is loaded with toppings and the flavors are explosive! They excel at creating that nostalgic vibe that makes you feel like you’ve just stepped back in time. While the rest of the restaurant might need some cleaning up, the pizza makes up for any shortcomings. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delight! The pepperoni pizza was absolutely fantastic—lots of flavor and a thick crust! It brought me back to my college days. The ambiance is charmingly outdated, but it perfectly fits the nostalgia. While the service was a tad slow, the staff was incredibly friendly, making up for it. A must-visit for anyone in Champaign! " (*Curated Review*)

" Garcia's is a beloved establishment, and for good reason! Their stuffed pizzas are truly a labor of love and reflect the traditional recipes that remind many of their college days. While the restaurant itself could use some updating, the flavors are consistent and delicious, ensuring repeat visits. " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Garcia’s for the first time last month, and I must say, it’s pretty good. The pizza has a distinct flavor that sets it apart from chain restaurants. I ordered the pan pizza, and while it was decent, I felt it could be better with more seasoning. I’ll likely try it again to see if my experience improves. " (*Curated Review*)

" I grew up on Garcia's Pizza and it breaks my heart to say that it has lost a bit of its luster. The Gutbuster slice should be a masterpiece, yet on my last visit, it felt overlooked and lacked the punch I remember. The service remains friendly, but the restaurant’s condition appears to be in decline. I wish they could restore the magic! " (*Curated Review*)

" Let me just say, if you are a pizza lover, you must try Garcia’s at least once! While there are some areas that could be cleaner, the pizza itself is fantastic. I ordered the stuffed Gutbuster, and it brought back so many good memories. You can tell they use quality ingredients, which you don’t find at chain restaurants. Definitely coming back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been hearing a lot about Garcia's, so I finally decided to check it out. I have to admit I was left underwhelmed. The pizza was fine, but didn’t stand out from any other pizza places I’ve visited. The service was reasonably quick, but the messiness of the establishment took away from the experience. Perhaps I’ll give it another shot down the line. " (*Curated Review*)
