This pizzeria and pub appears in a couple of top 10 pizza lists in the area, and for good reason. I ordered "The Deluxe", and it was a really top notch pizza. It was covered in fresh, tasty toppings, nice sauce and had an excellent crust. My 91 year old Mother enjoyed it so much she ate a full half of the 16" pizza in one sitting. The guys working the carry out were super nice, responsive, polite and helpful. I'll return here often. read more

Being from Chicago, I was excited to find a pizza restaurant in Joplin Missouri and couldn't wait to sink my teeth in a Chicago Style Pizza right here in Missouri!.... After ordering a large deep dish with extra CHEESE sausage and pepperoni, my husband and I drove to the location on 7th street to pick up the pizza. Question: how is this establishment able to call themselves "Chicago Pizza??" The LARGE Pizza we ordered was the size of a medium pizza you would get in Chicago. The pizza sauce was too salty The sausage wasn't like Chicago at all! It came in the form of "sausage pellets" not the chunks of juicy, mouth-watering quarter sized pieces of sausage you would get at a real Chicago Pizzeria. I asked for EXTRA CHEESE, was charged for the extra cheese but the pizza hardly had any cheese on it that you would find on a authentic Chicago Pizza... The weirdest thing about this Missouri version of Chicago Pizza, is that they put the over salted tomato sauce they call pizza sauce ON TOP of the pizza! The crust was "cracker-like" and didn't have the crispness on the outside combined with the soft chewy inside and the taste of the crust didn't have then yeasty taste a pizza crust should have. If this is the best Joplin can do when it comes to Chicago Style Pizza then stop calling it Chicago Style, it's no where near a real Chicago Pizza!​ read more

I'd say it's a bit better than pizza chains like Pizza Hut or Papa John's if you're wanting to order to go or have it delivered, but not a place I'm going to go for pizza if this makes sense. It's good not amazing! Their pizza has a thin, crisp crust with lots of cheese and light sauce. Their ranch is good clearly homemade. Haven't been inside, so can't note on the atmosphere or service. read more

The cheese sticks and bacon ranch pizza were really tasty. Plus the beer was a great deal on Saturdays. read more

Love the deep dish here! Great owners that support local charities and community. Chill vibe and great to take family or take out. Ranch is the best! Also love the pizza and spinach dip! read more

Classic choice for pizza in NWA without the side dish of politics at their competition. Their Chicago style and Calzones are both really solid choices. Extra cold beer is a bonus read more

Ordered from here on a whim, and I won't lie, pretty great pizza. I love the crust and the sauce, they definitely don't skimp on the toppings either. It's not greasy and the ranch is pretty legit. read more

Take out is very easy, always quick service, never had an issue with my pizzas. Large seating area, a 10/10 local spot. Only met with great service. read more

No wait, so we're starting out good. The noise level is slightly elevated, but if you're into sports, there are at least 10 tvs (that's how many I can see from where I'm sitting) that all seem to be tuned to a different sport. The restaurant is clean and bright and the waitstaff are friendly and attentive. We ordered the deluxe with chicago style crust. The crust was great, but there was too much tomato sauce and not quite enough toppings. Overall, the pizza was a bit runny. The pizza did taste good, but not exceptional. read more

Excellent service and excellent food! All of the servers are great and attentive. I love that you can customize the pizzas to your liking.

My family has ordered from here a few times and we have always been very happy with our order! It is quite easy to just order over the phone and just come grab our pizza. We opt for the deep dish pizza with extra cheese and it does not disapppint. The inside is a great place to hangout with big groups and/or to watch pretty much any sporting event. they have lots of tvs and a bar. It looks clean and the staff is nice. read more

Best ever!! Great service and food! This place is right next to where I work and I love coming here!

This was for pick up, so I can't really speak to the "in-restaurant" experience. We ordered a calzone and spaghetti with meatballs. Let me say the meatball was one of the best I've ever had. The spaghetti itself was cooked well. Now as for the sauce they use, maybe it's just me, but it is harsh! It has a very strong, bitter flavor to it. The seasoning was fine, but whatever else they put in it is just horrible tasting. I was able to tolerate a few bites of the spaghetti, but the calzone was a no go for me, my son, and my husband. Trust me, we can eat the cheapest frozen pizza with no problem, but this calzone was just not good, mostly because of the sauce. Now the crust is more like a saltine cracker, which we didn't care for. We prefer a soft, yet chewy crust with a nice initial crunch...if that makes sense. The veggies in the calzone were also raw, rather than cooked and softened. I had high hopes for this place but unfortunately we won't be back. The staff was pleasant when we picked up our order and it looked nice and clean inside. read more

NO, I do not recommend them. We decided to get a delivery of pizzas. Not only was the wrong size delivered, but the delivery driver sat it on our porch and never knocked or rang doorbell. I called and spoke with "the owner". He was very unprofessional. He said they just started delivery this week and still needed to tweek some things. I agreed saying maybe let the drivers know to knock or ring doorbell before they drop n go. it wasn't like doordash where we could track our meal. So I spent $46 on 2 personal pan pizzas. it was supposed to be 10 inch pizzas but clearly was a personal pan with 4 slices. The "owner" made the comment I would have spent the same amount on McDonald's. You know he is right but at least my food would have been warm. He asked what I wanted him to do. I told him it is his job as a manager to handle customer service when customers call with a complaint. He quickly said im not a manager but the owner. Even worse!!! I feel this owner needs to work on customer service. He also needs to make his wrongs-right. We wont be back EVER. read more

Dropped in for some green beer and NCAA games. Ordered pizza dip and wings for appetizer. Love the pizza dip. Husband tried the gluten free pizza. I order Calzone Waitress was friendly. Food arrived quickly and was hot. Usually this place is a bit more busy. Over all nice meal. read more

Good food good service and a great place to watch football games. Staff is very good and attentive.

The pizzas were perfect a birthday present to myself the food was delicious and the service was great yes if I want a real treat this is the way to go! read more

Usually, Gusano's is very good. We frequent the Bentonville and Fayetteville locations. Tonight we tried the Pleasant Grove, Rogers location a try, and we were not impressed. I would say the "deep dish" was not deep and the crust was burnt and it didn't have many pepperonis. We let the Waitress know and she took our pizza to the cooks and then brought it back and said, "the cooks said it is cooked how it should be." Just letting everyone know what to expect. read more

Gusano's Pizza - Terrible "Deep dish" Pepperoni pizza. - Pizza Near Me - Rogers, Arkansas

Ordered delivery so gave them Grace for the late delivery. The 2 Hawaiian Turkey bacon sandwiches bread was hard as a rock. The sandwiches come w ranch dressing. I paid for extra homemade ranch dressing. I got NO ranch dressing at all. This is the second time I was not sent ranch. I called the store and told the manager this. She said "they come w ranch dressing?" This is the manager. She said all she could do was give me a free ranch when I come in. I will never order from this Gusanos again read more

This was quite literally the worst pizza I've ever had. It was over cooked and undercooked at the same time. If you want to go into a restaurant and wait 15 minutes before your presence is acknowledged this is the place for you. The food is hardly edible and there's enough grease on the pizza to fill up one of their beer pitchers. Clearly someone with zero experience or any common sense is running this excuse of an establishment. It's nearly pitch black inside and on top of that it's overpriced for the mushy cardboard they call pizza. I wouldn't feed this food to my dogs 0/10 don't recommend. They should do everyone a favor and just close. read more

We came here for dinner this evening and left without even ordering, so I won't speak to the food. We walked in and were seated at a table that was still dirty from the last customer. If you're comfortable seating customers at dirty tables, what other filth are you ok with that your customers can't see? read more

Love the Gusano's Pleasant Grove Rd location. Great special on Wednesday where you get a large one topping pizza for $9.99!! Thursday half price appetizers from 5-9 ( this special may just be for football season). Their pizza dip is so very yummy!!! Layered with cream cheese, sauce, pepperoni, peppers, onions and mozzarella!! Served hot with---wait for it---Frito Scoops. Try it out. Love the Italian beef sandwich too---not the traditional bread you get in Chicago but everything else is legit!! The pizza is great but I wanted to stress they do several other things well!!! read more

Picked this place due to online reviews and convenient location. Ordered 3 pizzas and 1 order of cheese bread to pickup. Thought the price was very high. Got the pizzas home and was very disappointed. They were saturated in sauce and the chunks of tomato were overwhelming to the point of being soupy and could hardly taste any of the toppings. Very little cheese underneath all the sauce. First experience with Gusano's and would not go back.or recommend them to anyone. read more

Avoid this place like the plague. I've been here a few times and it only gets worse each time. The bartenders only care about the regulars. The regulars are loud and annoying. They were way over served on the booze. I waited an hour and a half at the bar for a 10" pizza and salad. The salad was hot and the pizza was cold. Very sad state of affairs. It's unfortunate. It could be a great place to go since options are limited in this area on bar service. And I get all the way home and they didn't put any dressing with the salad. This place SUCKS!!! read more

Very pricey!!! We ordered an 8 inch that was a total of 4 small slices of pizza for 10.00, 9 inch pizza Chicago style now yes it was bigger but only because of the crust and it was 15.00 so you might want to make sure you have a small appetite but a hefty wallet. Now I will say the Pizza dip for the starter was really tasty but yet it too was 10.00. As for the taste it was not worth the amount of money paid but yet it was not the worst pizza I have ever had either. read more

Nice atmosphere and good customer service. The food was close to a city style pie but no cigar. Excellent portions for your money. read more

Good food & quick service! We ordered the cheeseburger and margarita pizza - both were very good! We also got the cheesy breadsticks! We would go there again if given the opportunity read more

Place is not one of the better locations. Stay away from this one. Poor staff and management here

We like the Rogers location because its close and rarely that busy. Maybe not the best endorsement but sometimes you want a comfortable place with a good wait and bar staff and decent enough food. This isnt the place to get gourmet but its solid when you stick to the basics. The thin crust pizza is always good. Fresh with lots of toppings and a decent crust. When we have been disappointed was when we went with deeper dish chicago pizza or the calzone. Chicago crust and cheese never seems quite done and the calzone just didnt work. The crust is too thick and again seems a little under done. Now the thin crust pizza is really good and they have several apps that are hearty and great for snacking (cheese bread). We like the bar area with plenty of TVs for games and really good bartenders. Saw where some people complained of service but we have been here many times and cant remember a bad service issue. read more

This was our first time at Gusano's and the pizza was delicious! Just the right amount of sauce and cheese and lots of toppings. Even better was our server who was peppy, happy to help and very timely. Samantha had a great personality, perfect for a family restaurant. read more

It doesn't possess a "wow" factor, but it is a solid location for pizza and beer if you're on the south side of Rogers or in Lowell. I prefer their deep dish, Chicago style pizza. read more

My new favorite pizza spot. I haven't had Chicago style pizza since moving from the Midwest so it was quite the treat. Don't know why it took me six years to find Gusanos, it was so good! Came with a large group and reserved the game room which worked out really well. Service was below average. She also did not offer the monthly discount on the item that we ordered. But because we were the large group we didn't wanna hold anybody up to correct it. Will try the Bentonville location next. read more

Our kids love Gusanos, love their cheese sticks. Their moosehead pizza is awesome, and great wings. Always friendly staff. read more

Good solid regional pizza chain. The pizza is fairly pricey but unless you're getting a Pizza Hut or dominoes anymore they're all fairly pricey. They do have a Chicago style which is pretty good. The sauce is fairly unique ... They use the same marinara whether it be on the Chicago style or the regular style pie. This is a good sauce... Bad sauce equals bad pizza and this one will do. read more

Got carry out & the pizza tasted great. My problem is it stuck to the cardboard box. Simply putting a sheet of aluminum foil down would prevent this. Just my suggestion I've seen other pizza places do! read more

Food is always great here. Love their caesar salad, pizzas, and cheese bread! Friendly staff and great customer service!

Not great, and it's kind of expensive for what it is. I don't like the process of ordering to go and I don't like the ingredients they use on the pizza. Plus, the atmosphere is weird. I'm not sure what kind of experience they're trying to create exactly. I just kinda don't like the place. read more

Ordered take out for a lrg Chicken Bacon pizza. For $26 you would think they would add more than 2oz of chicken and all of the bacon (what little there was) was clumped in a small area. It doesn't cost that much to make a pizza so why skimp on the toppings that make up a $26 pizza. Wish I went to MJ's. read more
