Georgio's II Famous Pizza

Hands down, some of the best pizza I've ever had…read more My dad orders the meat lovers on a thin crust. And once that box opened it was like heaven. They are NOT shy to add on toppings and it's plentiful and beautifully cheesy, just how I like it. Makes the pizza worth the wait and price. The thin crust pizza is cut in squares, which was weird at first, but I noticed it was a lot easier to hold. If you order in the store for takeout or I believe done in as well, they give a free order of garlic cheese bread which is amazing. We did delivery and ordered online; it only took about 30-45 minutes for our pizzas to arrive at the house! Bonus: our pizza was still piping hot whenever it arrived!!

DeMara's is known for its fantastic thin-to-regular crust. Oddly enough tonight, I was served a pizza that was thicker than a Pizza Hut Pan Pizza. What is going on? The dough wasn't cooked all the way and raw; because it's too thick. I returned the pizza and the kitchen staff was not pleased and reacted poorly. This is not the DeMara's service and atmosphere that is part of our community. I hope they figure out what to do to get back to expected quality.

If you want good pizza, Pizza Hut is a good place to go if you don't mind spending more on your pizza! I would give it five stars if they were so expensive!

It arrived cold after an hour with an entire pizza missing. The driver told me those at the store only gave him 1 pizza and that the lady at the store snatched the pizza out of his hand to add stickers to it. I proceeded to call the store and was met by a very rude individual who continually told me to speak up and slower as if she were speaking to a child. She also had me repeat my missing item even though she had my name and should have looked it up easily. I hear someone in the background that I assume was a manager trying to place blame on door dash, The person on the phone offered zero apologies-only deflection and defensiveness. She told me it would be "at least 40 minutes" before redelivery could take place. When I asked why I should have to wait an additional 40 minutes on top of the hour plus I had already waited after they had made the mistake, she again became defensive and said there were 8-9 people ahead of me and there was "nothing I can do." In actuality, I was ahead of these customers because I had placed my order more than an hour prior, paid for it and was missing an item. Customer service 101 would say to right the wrong sitting right in front of you. Not surprisingly, my redelivery never arrived. No offers of refund. No apologies for oversight. Just negative, dismissive and deflective attitudes. The staff needs a complete overhaul and/or basic customer service training if this location is to survive. Do yourself a favor and spend your hard earned money on places that actually appreciate your business, deliver your order hot and on time and offer solutions, not excuses, when they mess up.

Absolutely wonderful food! They never skimp on the cheese!! Always hot and ready when I order! This family owned business really produces amazing food and provides on point service with a smile! There Lasagna is fantastic ! The house pizza will knock your socks off, Georgio's special sub is best in town and the cheese bread with homemade marinara is mouth watering and that's just a few of my favorites on the menu! Try the baklava for dessert, YUM! Great people & great food! Unbeatable! read more

My favorite place in town. Only place where I can get an authentic gyro. Most everything is made from scratch, and you can tell. I have never had a bad experience there. The lunch buffet is awesome. Usually there is pizza, pasta, salad, stuffed peppers. Occasionally they will bring out some of their family recipes and you will never know what you might find, in a good way. Everything there is great! read more

Their 2 piece scallops (ordered "as an app") is always a solid decision. They would be wise to put it or another iteration on the app menu. I was wanting a fish entree, and decided to try the trout, as I wasn't feeling pasta. The scallops as an app were amazing, as always, and I expected that to be the highlight of the evening. The trout blew my mind in its flavor and presentation. Far more than I would have thought. Pan seared trout, shaved Brussel sprouts and mushrooms and pancetta with dill cream sauce EXCEEDED my expectations. Brussels are not typically anything I would laud, let alone rave about. But the bed of shaved Brussels with a skin on trout was an absolutely perfect pairing that almost made me want to do it all again that very same night. Brussels are typically boiled mushy or oven roasted, and I always saw them to be limited in flavor profiles.. But the nutty flavor they brought to this dish changed my mind on this vegetable potential. The skin of the trout was crunchy, but amazing. The Brussels were delicate and soft with so much flavor. The sauce on top was a perfect pairing. I was blown away that I had been to this establishment 100+ times and never tried this dish, which I will happily add to the rotation. I typically don't do dessert here, but decided to try the apple crostata. The flavor was amazing. The portion was for two, my waistline now wishes there was a declaration or option of for two or for one when ordered. Overall, I highly recommend the trout with shaved Brussels. Their scallops are consistently good. Their bar waitstaff can be stand-off ish if you aren't a local that lives across the street, but in this instance the waitstaff catered to all, not just the locals. I will keep travinia in my rotation.

We were seated near the bar area, and it was extremely smoky, which made the dining experience uncomfortable for me. On a positive note, our waitress was very friendly, attentive, and answered all of our questions. My spritz was good, and I also enjoyed the calamari appetizer. Unfortunately, the lobster ravioli was extremely salty--to the point that I couldn't really enjoy the dish. Between the smoky atmosphere and the entrée, I left a little disappointed. I'm not sure this is somewhere I would visit again.

This trip was no different. We had a large group of 16 and it started there. Was told a 2hr wait. If we split in to groups of 8 we'd be seated in 45. Took this option. Actually got seated in about 25 minutes seperately. (A table of 8 that was right next to us was vacant and NEVER got used for the entire 90 minutes or so that we stayed at the restaurant so why not accommodate our group? - strike one) Our waitress I'm told was very chippy with an attitude toward some party members. (I didnt get any attitude toward me) but heard a few people stating how she was answering people's requests and how unpleasant she was. - Strike two. The food. I ordered the meatloaf nachos (which were good). I also ordered the fried pork chops w/ side salad. Loading up on fake bacon bits (like 1000 pieces) doesnt make the salad better. This is a hint to their kitchen. The pork chops were dry and the "red skinned" mash potatoes" (which I do not remember the menu stating that they were red skinned potatoes which would mean SKIN would be present in the mash. Otherwise I would not have ordered this. ALSO, their baked beans.......this was the worst part of the meal. I am expecting some version of beans with a bbq base or similar...instead I got some sort of bean SOUP which was totally inedible in my opinion. Whole meal was trash. Strike three. My 83 year old father said at the end of the meal "worst meal I've ever had". Which I had him repeat to the table just in case anyone thought it was just me. $700 with tip for the quality is a bit much. I will never ever return no matter what my siblings say.
