Gusano's Pizzeria - Bella Vista

While browsing Menuism, I noticed there weren't many reviews for Arkansas, so I decided to give it a shot. I can't really explain why I ended up in Arkansas, but I had the chance to explore some interesting people, places, and restaurants. One of the places I visited was Gusano's, which is a standard sports bar/pizza joint. The restaurant is situated in a small strip shopping center with a beautiful view, especially if you haven't been to Bella Vista before. I recommend grabbing a table or sitting at the bar and trying out their limited menu of specialty pizzas, appetizers, and build-your-own options. You can choose between thin or Chicago-style deep-dish crust. We opted for a 3-topping Chicago-style pizza with peppers, mushrooms, and green olives, as well as "bread sticks" which turned out to be thin crusts with garlic and cheese served with ranch and marinara. They were still tasty, but not what I expected when I hear "bread sticks." The 14-inch pizza was enough for the three of us to share, but the crust was a bit too firm and challenging to cut or chew. Despite this, the pizza was decent overall. If I ever find myself in Bella Vista again, I might consider returning to Gusano's, but I believe there are more authentic southern joints worth trying first.

Seriously, this is probably my favorite place for pizza! The deep dish is incredible! It's really a taste of Chicago here in NWA.

We recently relocated to South West Missouri and decided to try out this restaurant for the first time. We were extremely impressed. Sometimes you want a change from the usual Casey's pizza or Pizza Hut, and this place definitely delivered. The pizza was on a whole other level of deliciousness. As we enjoyed our meal, we couldn't help but notice plates of pasta and hot wings being served to other diners. We are already planning to return soon to try out these other menu items that looked so tempting.

I was very impressed with my recent visit to Gusano. It had been a while since I last went, but I'm glad I did. The deep dish pizza was delicious and brought back memories of my time living in Chicago. The service was friendly and efficient. We grabbed a pizza to go, and it was still hot and delicious when we got home. The crust was crispy, the cheese was melted and gooey, and there were plenty of sauce and toppings. We also ordered spaghetti for the kids and a cheese pizza, both of which were a hit. Overall, a great dining experience.
