We have been looking for a good Italian place around Cartersville and have gone as far as Rome and Acworth looking for one. I hate to say that I have always driven by Gondolier thinking nothing in a strip mall with a walk up and order counter would be much good....I was way wrong! Ate lunch there yesterday and it was GREAT! The bread sticks are the perfect blend of pizza dough and bread with a brown crunchy outside and soft moist inside. The marinara that came with was really good. My salad was simple but VERY FRESH with great blue cheese dressing. When the Lasagna came I was pleased not to be greatest buy a plate of cheese with a sliver of actual Lasagna underneath. The ample portion of lasagna was topped with a perfect amount of mozzarella cheese. Flavor and texture of the dish was almost perfect! I am not saying that this is the best Italian restaurant in the world....I am saying it is the best one in Cartersville and surrounding areas!!!! Give it a try!!!!! read more

We got a take out pizza the other night . The pizza was dried out and tasted burnt . Had hardly any toppings either . Couldn't even bite the pizza it was so hard , and the next day the pizza was even worse . read more

If i could give ZERO stars i would , the staff is so rude and don't get me started on the food . This is the first time I've ever had a bad experience here but it speaks volumes, there was a HAIR in my food and they would not remake the food or give a refund . What kind of business does that ? They are not welcoming at all and do not care about their customers. 0/10 read more

On February 22, 2026, I ordered take out pizza and it was the worse pizza I have ever gotten from them,since I started getting pizza 35 years ago! Dough crust, almost no sauce,barely any toppings. So very disappointing! Will not be returning read more

To me one of the best Italian restaurants in this area. They have a large Italian menu with spaghetti, lasagna chicken fingers hamburgers with bacon cheeseburger, fettuccine Alfredo, chicken, fettuccine Alfredo gyro a lot of hot subs and sandwiches and their pizza is buy one get one free. Their sizes are very generous. The white staff are very friendly and helpful. The service is very fast, I can't say enough great things about this restaurant highly recommend read more

Let me start by my husband and I used to come here a lot for lunches with grandparents and it was great. Tonight was the first night we had gone in a long time and it HORRIBLE. Management has not been the only bad change. We walk in an hour before closing and chairs are already on top of tables in the dining room while others were eating in booths around the tables. This automatically gives a very unwelcoming feeling to the place. We order our food and it ends up being wrong -not shocked. Found out they only had one glass of sweet tea left and they asked if I wanted a soda. I took the Glass of tea because I'd rather have water than the soda options offered and we had already paid for our meal. We tried to sit on one side of the restaurant where another party was sitting and was asked by the dining room host not to sit there because she wanted to leave asap, so we went to another side. After working in food service, this is a pet peeve of mine but I know people do it so I wasn't too bothered. We then get our food. This was the WORST SALAD IVE EVER HAD. none of the vegetables are chopped except for a veggie platter. The lettuce wasn't even chopped correctly. The marinara tasted like canned sauce. They bring out the next course and my husband said the spaghetti and meatballs was just not on par like they used to be and my chicken parm sub tasted like it had been warmed up from the freezer. I tried the side pickle and it was the most awful taste ever. My husband wouldn't even try it due to the smell. During our dining experience, waitresses and managers are arguing with customers over a tiny cup of sauce that they now apparently charge for because "people are wasteful." You can tell attitudes were high and everyone was annoyed with the customer. When she left, the whole staff talked ugly about the customer with us being able to hear everything in the dining room. We were out before closing because we just couldn't be in there anymore. When we got up and left, the waitress was clearing the table before we could get out the door. The channels on the tv don't fit the actual screen and they shouldn't play food network because I'd much rather been eating what was on the television. It's very rare that I'm so annoyed and I'm sure I'm leaving something out but a $39 meal in this economy is not something I take lightly. I would've rather had McDonald's. I will be telling all of my family and friends in Cartersville not to come here now. It's pathetic how low this place has dropped. read more

We used to love this place, but when we went the other night, the food was blah and the service was terrible. We had to keep asking for drink refills. read more

The Alfredo was soupy and tasted like milk, had no flavor besides the mountain of salt I had to add to it. The breadstick tasted like air almost non existent, the wings were fine but hardly enough to save the meal. read more

The calzone was cold, greasy, contained no Ricotta the way they should & was over cooked ... never had a worse tasting calzone.

Ok so this gondolier is not a sit down take your order such as the one in Rome. It kind of shocked me the it is counter serve Italian but should be the same great food.. right? I can first see the staff here is young and not like some other places the guy who took our order at the register wasn't very engaging didn't know if any specials till I sat down. Did not know I wasn't getting breadsticks with a calzone which I thought was the norm. Did not know about free cookies until a nice lady told me after she gave me one of her free breadsticks. I waited awhile for the food and it came out in waves some of us got our food 10 minutes prior to others in our party. The hot sand which I got was good and the calzone was also good there was just poor service and eating out of plastic plates and with plastic spoons seemed odd for a place that cost as much as chili's read more

Traveling on business and client recommended since it was close and fast. Four of us and each ordered something different and it was all good. Portions are enormous. I got lunch portion of lasagna and it was delicious and a large amount. Homemade salad dressings. If I lived here this would be a weekly visit. read more

Get the gyro. It is so good. I love their fries. Super crunchy. I would highly recommend this location. Local ownership too! Eat local before a chain! read more

Come on, really? You are watering down your ranch dressing for take out orders and maybe in house orders? Trying to save money by watering down ranch dressing for my wings is not the quality service I would expect. Ranch dressing ain't this waterie when fresh in the container. Step it up and don't water down your products to cut costs. read more

I've been coming here a long time. The fries are my biggest complaint, they need to go back to the drawing board on those. Overall the food is good. However, the recent price increases are just too much for the quality of food you are getting. read more

We seriously eat here at least once a week. I am from Cartersville and remember gondolier as a pizza place as a kid but it is WAY more than that. Their greek is awesome. The gyro plate is delicious. Comes with a generous portion of meat, great little greek salad and another side of either spaghetti or rice. A ton of food for the price! read more

Went in after a visit to the Dr. We do no have one close to us. Grew up eating at Gondolier. be it Ky to Lenior City. I have never had any problems until today!!! This chain restaurant has been consistent every time. I just remember even going as a young child watching the guy making pizza he would sneak me cheese. Needlessly today was definitely a let down. Went to the say we didn't stay. No even a greeting, no waitress, no menu, nothing!! Girl cleaning floors told me to sit anywhere and they 'would see us' Obviously after well over what in my opinion time to bee seated with drink and menu. Let's just say the cleaning crew was all I saw!! After that we left!! The one cleaning the floor have a day!! Seriously we will never go they again!! Will drive the extra miles to a closer location. read more

My son received a coupon for free pizza for winning the historical bowl. I didn't expect much out of this place. Usually places like this the crust and taste is flat. Boy was I wrong. Not only do they have a great deal ( bogo pizza ) it was one of the best tasting pizza we had ever tasted. My kids who aren't big veggies eaters loved the spinach on their pizza. Only thing is they ran out of calamari when I tried to order that. There's a big Greek menu that I ll have to try out next time. The kids enjoyed the food and is asking for more. We will definitely be back. read more

I ordered two chicken parm subs for me and my brother and they were literally so gross I couldn't even eat it . I felt sick to my stomach and left a bad after taste . Bread was hard and all together just tasted sour and old . Do not recommend . read more

I went into get some pizza, I have been coming here since I was a kid. It used to be so dirty, the pizza would come in a box they used to call your number and you would have to go get it from the counter. Now it's basically like mellow mushroom, the ranch comes in a bowl, not that cute little plastic cup, I am so disappointed that my pizza didn't come in a box I just walked out and didn't eat. My childhood is ruined. read more

Gondolier Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Cartersville, Georgia

I recently ordered from this restaurant my order was $41 for four pizzas and a side of ranch I guess with the new management they're giving smaller sizes for more money. They gave me a cup of ranch and charged me a $1.29 !!! I ordered 2 small and 2 medium pizza the small looks like an individual!! Will never order from here again!!! read more

We had gyro pizza and a BBQ chicken pizza. The gyro one was good but they burned the BBQ pizza. So there's that. The next time we had 2 Strombolis and they were good. The Greek salad was mediocre. I also tried the White 3 cheese pizza. It was OK. I have been here 3 times and have not been impressed at all. They really don't have good prices on their pizza. Even with "buy one get one free" I spent $25 for two "large" pizzas that looked more like mediums. I will be finding a new pizza shop. For the price they charge I will just go to Mellow Mushroom or somewhere else. As of 9/22/17, the food safety score is 82B. That is not very good. read more

Good food. I normally pick up. However, I ate in their dining room tonight. The Televisions in the dining room were tuned to CNN. Please put a non-news channel, music or just leave them off. Maybe families would be better off talking to each other instead of looking at yet another screen. read more

They use to have decent food and service. They have changed owners, remolded and changed to them servicing the tables. You can no longer get your own drink refills, but they don't watch close enough to make sure you aren't sitting with no drink, usually takes around 15 min for them to notice someone needs a refill. They no longer have senior discounts, or rather you have to choose between, on your first visit after this last management change, senior discounts and loyalty points. Once you have enough loyalty points to get a reward, you have EXACTLY 14 days to redeem them, OR THEY EXPIRE!!! Loyalty points should NEVER expire!! Oh, and they also quit carrying my dressing. I guess I'm going to have to find a new place to eat!! read more

Went in last night with a large group, and the place was packed. We made our order and we were really surprised at how fast they were. Pizza is actually pretty good. The wings are also good. I almost forgot to mention they have very reasonable prices. read more

I order here a lot. We love it. The pizza is great, and so are the giros. We also like their desserts. If you want some great food, then this is where you should go, or order it take out. read more

The pizza is AMAZING! We usually make the drive to Fellinis on Howell Mill for pizza. But Gondoliers definitely a great option here in town. The burger was very good. Would love to try other entrees in the future. Very satisfied with Gondoliers! read more

This is definitely a no-frills restaurant. Food is served on paper plates, there are no servers and you get your own drinks, but the prices are super low and you can't beat it for a quick, satisfying bite. Most importantly, the pizza ROCKS! The buy one, get one deal is really nice too. I love this place. read more

Stopped here by chance on our way home from vacation. We needed a break from fast food and it was great! No frills but plenty of flavor and good service. read more

My favorite pizza in town. The family special with the gondolier pizza. We just moved about 20 mins away from it and there are closer pizza place but it is worth the drive for sure. I think the family special is like $29 or so for two large "supreme" pizzas salad and bread stick you just can't beat that. Usually have left overs too read more

love this restaurant Have eaten there a least once a week for more than 12 years The staff is friendly and the food delicious. It's has by far the best pizza around anywhere. The dinners always have large servings plus they have a big menu. Always can find something good to eat. The restaurant is clean and tastefully decorated. It's worth the drive wherever you live read more

Got food poisoning from eating here Sun Dec 10th, 2017! When I called to let them know the 3 of us were not feeling well I wasn't treated very nicely. I didn't ask for my $ back but rather please check the food so no one else gets sick. Accusing an establishment of poisoning you is a serious accusation and if I wasn't 100% positive it was from the food here I would NEVER post this! Please beware of the food here!!! read more

Here's a secret. This pizza place has the best hamburger in town! The staff is always great and the recently remodeled restaurant is clean and neat with a couple of television sets to watch the big game. Much more than a pizza place. read more

I love Gondolier's and lately have been ordering a Togo 2-3 times a week. Today was a very disappointing experience. Rachel was very rude and you could tell you she would rather be some place else. My order was wrong, marinara sauce was left out, and her attitude was just terrible. Another girl usually takes my order during the day and she is AWESOME. Hopefully management will recognize. read more

Zero stars. The food was disgusting. Literally inedible. My son spit out the bite of chicken finger. The meatball sub was soggy and the meatballs were packaged frozen and tasted freezer burnt. We ate a salad and bread sticks and then vomited in the parking lot. Never again. So many good places to eat In Cartersville , go somewhere else. We just needed a quick dinner and what we got was sick read more

I have been going to this restaurant for many years. Recently it has been extremely disappointing. I was hoping that today because of the low volume they would be a little more responsive to their loyal customers. This is not been the case. The entrée that I ordered was disappointing and the salad was not fresh. Also it seemed very difficult to get some responsiveness from the counter representatives. And overall I do not recommend this restaurant again. I do not know what has happened to the restaurant even before The present crisis. I need to find another restaurant that serves good Italian food at a reasonable price without the attitude. read more

My husband and I usually love this place. However, this past weekend it took 30 minutes for a gyro and spaghetti. And we where the only people in the restaurant. The supervisor apologized but said she wasn't sure what was wrong with the kitchen. To make it worse my sandwich and fries were cold as ice. Not again ... read more
