I GREW UP EATING GILLIOS PIZZA!!!! THE BEST PIZZA I HAVE EVER HAD AND THANKS TO MR. AND MRS. GILL I CAN FINALLY FIND AMAZING PIZZA—JOSIAH.BAKER
Best pizza around. Every time I come to town I make sure we get Pizza. Wonderful family and great service.
I called to place an order without the benefit of a menu in hand as I was driving. The lady who answered the phone was so nice & patient with me, telling me about their items and made it so easy to decide what sounded good. I placed my order and was told it would be approximately 25 minutes. My food was ready on time and was delicious. They typically cut their pizza in squares, but I asked for a pepperoni pizza to be sliced like a pie. Great pizza, cut the way I requested (by her, personally), and the crust has a great taste, too. I ordered a large salad with their house-made balsamic vinaigrette. It was fresh and delicious. Ordered a hamburger with everything and it was great! "Run it through the garden," like my dad used to say. The burger was nicely seasoned and meaty. Tasted great! Highly recommend!
Really good pizza and a family friendly environment. I would highly recommend taking your family and getting some great pizza!!
A group of 12 was visiting the area. This appears to be the only place around open to get lunch. Surprised how excellent the food was & How fast the service was. Everyone ordered different items and commented on how good everything was from the pizzas hamburgers, calzones, the italian roast beef sandwich was huge. I noticed a sign saying they were established in 1988. I am guessing this is a new building because EVERYTHING was so nice looking inside and out. Thanks Gillio.
