Here you will find a quaint pizzeria on the outskirts of Farmingdale.
Brand: 4/5
Geo's Pizza is a simple pizzeria in Farmingdale next to JB's Diner. It would appear unassuming on the outside, however you would be surprised if you stepped inside and described a cozy interior filled with many Italian memorabilia upon the walls, including other places like Montana and Guatemala. The interior definitely had the Italian pizzeria aesthetic, which works with its warm, brown walls and the table cloths that contrasted in color with them.
Website: 4/5
It was pretty basic in design, since it makes use of the Milkshake app. Instead of scrolling on a desktop or laptop, it functions more on a phone, while also retaining universal functionality. You get an introduction to their menu items and quick access to ordering forms, which did not need multiple buttons.
Ambiance: 5/5
While no music played, the distant sounds of the traffic provided an unusually calm ambiance. The whooshing of the vehicles frequently proliferate on the highway, but only from a distance that would not make their noises intrusive. It does not get noisy despite having short space. The tables were well-spaced and had enough room to accommodate two people.
Service: 5/5
Only the owners work in this establishment and make sure that you are accommodated.
Wait Time: 5/5
We waited for our orders without delay or issues of any kind.
Food: 5/5
I ordered the medium-sized Stromboli without additional fillings. I will say that bread held its form without the cheese melting through. The cheese also coagulated quickly and gave it a stringy, cheese stretch. The warm, buttery surface of the bread complements cheese with its warm texture, and the tomato sauce with its spiciness. The Stromboli had a little grease, but not enough to completely saturate my fingers.
Worth The Money?: 3/5
Despite having so little, I can see how Geo's Pizza would make the most of it. In the case of menu items, I do not expect a large menu. They managed to put emphasis on their website on their most popular dishes, which definitely helps them. I will say that the Taco Pizza they offered looked delicious as their signature dish. Although I chose Stromboli because I endeavored to eat more Italian food beyond pizza, I could see how Taco Pizza could set Geo's Pizza apart.
The simple website fits the simple restaurant. I will say that using a Milkshake app would help any restaurant or a food truck just starting out, however Geo's Pizza has been around for years now and they would benefit from updating to a more detailed website.
Location is an important advertiser in itself, because its exterior can easily bring people in from a highway. The unassuming appearance of Geo's Pizza betrays its vibrant interior.
If any slow days occur, the owners tend to make use of that time by working on the maintenance of the establishment. I can see how successful they were, since the establishment appears clean and well-kept. The minimalist soundscape also helped ease me into the wait time as I wrote without interruptions.
While some things did work for this establishment, and while the wait time was appropriate for the preparation of the Stromboli, ultimately I did think that a plain cheese Stromboli with the tomato sauce did cost too high. This would be the part where I make suggestions, however I do not have any strong suggestions in mind; however, I am curious as to how Geo's Pizza would work if it had more employees and smaller menu items.
Rating: 4/5 Stars
I did think that Geo's Pizza was a pleasant-enough experience.
