When I need a warm meal on a rainy day…. I head to this ladies kitchen Gusto Napoletano Pizzeria and Italian Restaurant chef Nadia is so talented. I come here to eat usually., tonight I’m here for my soul. ❤️ August 6, 2024
Gusto has the best tasting pizza I’ve had in NC! The chef was very knowledgeable and I even asked her about the brick oven they use and she explained all I wanted to know.
The food is always fresh and made with the finest ingredients. The service is excellent and the restaurant has such a comfy homey feel. This is the best wood fired pizza you will ever eat and it is cooked the way they do in Naples Italy, you won’t get that anywhere else in town. If you eat there once I can promise you that you will eat there again!
I’ve eaten here a few times. Pizza is great. However overpriced in my estimation.
I have been following this place for quite a while. My kids and I ended up here by accident tonight and I’m so glad we did. Hands down one of the best meals of our lives.

I have been following this place for quite a while. My kids and I ended up here by accident tonight and I’m so glad we did. Hands down one of the best meals of our lives. We got pasta and pizza to share along with the caprese salad. No pictures because everything was inhaled immediately. My kids are picky eaters and don’t rave about food often but they were as blown away as I was. The staff is extremely friendly. The service was phenomenal. Felt like we were eating with family. I have lived in Italy before and this felt so familiar. I would run to this restaurant and tell everyone about it. We will definitely be back and often. Less
BEST pizza in town, hands down. You will not be disappointed! The ingredients are fresh and the quality can’t be matched. I highly recommend Gusto!
First time eating at Gusto's. My son and I ate the Margherita pizza, and my son said it best "the crust wasn't too soft and not too hard, the cheese doesn't rip off the pizza when pulling a slice, and the pizza really filled me up, perfect." It's his new favorite pizza in Fayetteville. Thank you very much.
This was the most disgusting flavorless pizza ive ever had. I get what they are trying to do with the european style pizza. Which i have ate pizza in europe its delicious. This misses the mark by a mile.
They can improve some more.
The best authentic pizza I have ever had in a loooong time!
Awesome experience, food was great!!!! Staff was amazing. Would highly recommend!!
My wife and I used to own an operate a pizza restaurant for 22 years. We are both Italian. This pizza was dry and flavorless. This is the third and last time we have been here we will not come back.

Food was good, but they have no ice, so canned soda or lukewarm bottled water are the only options. Very authentic dishes.

I wanted it to be better. My second time I've been. Will spend my money elsewhere. Sorry if that's harsh but that is how it goes. I wish the food tasted better. eggplant panino barely tasted like eggplant, very small amount of eggplant in the sandwich. The bread for the sandwich was very nice. I had the Arancini, sadly they were very very bland and had little flavor. their texture however I felt was perfect. Just tasted like nothing though. after all that, it’s also a little too pricey. I typically will not mind paying that price to support a small business if it is off the charts good and keeps me coming back, but it is definitely missing something. All the best. ///Update: I recently changed my star rating from 3 to 1 because the owner replied originally to my review and said thanks for the constructive feedback, but then I see that they edited their reply and argued with me and made everything my fault so that made me ranked them three stars to one star. My order was to-go so no I didn’t dump salt on the arancini. And I don’t think salt would solve the problem. They had no taste. You might be in the wrong line of work if you cannot handle criticism. Maybe what you’re doing is working for you, and if it is, that’s great. Keep it up all I’m sharing is this place is not for me. Food is average and too expensive is the bottom line. but I just wanna clarify something you said all I had to do was ask for an extra portion. Are you saying an extra portion of eggplant is free if I ask or are you asking me to buy two meals? I’m confused by that feedback. Less
The food is excellent. Nothing fussy, just good food. The staff is awesome. I love this pizza. Chain pizzeria's have nothing on Gusto. Five stars, plus ya'll.
This might have been the best pizza I’ve had.
I heard about an authentic Italian restaurant in Fayetteville and I had to try it after checking their menu online. I made the drive from Myrtle Beach and I am glad I did! The food, the atmosphere, and Italian spoken brought me back to Italy. Simply amazing.
This place reminds me of my days in Naples, Italy. From the food to the wine, to the quaint atmosphere. Hearing Italian spoken in the background really gave me the flashback of sitting in a restaurant in Naples! Definitely will be back.
The food is amazing the people are very nice and welcoming this place feel home warming clean food comes out on time the pizza and there pasta are the best in town 🫶🏼🫶🏼😊😊🙏🏻🙏🏻
The pizza is absolutely amazing, and the staff were so friendly we felt like family. I highly recommend Gusto Napoletano.
The lovely ladies at Gusto Napolitano provide the friendliest service and their pizza is excellent. It had flavors from my second homecountry and the brick oven taste is delicious. I really don't know what was on this pineapple (mango?) cheesecake but it was one of the best desserts I've ever had...👌🇮🇹
The most italian thing is their margherita. She says she’s from Naples and “ the pizzas are all different everywhere “. I’ve sent this to my Napolitan family to make sure I’m not mistaken. NO WHERE IN NAPLES serves “pizza” like this. Other than that. The wine is fine and the “pizza” has enough salt to call it seasoned.

The most italian thing is their margherita. She says she’s from Naples and “ the pizzas are all different everywhere “. I’ve sent this to my Napolitan family to make sure I’m not mistaken. NO WHERE IN NAPLES serves “pizza” like this. Other than that. The wine is fine and the “pizza” has enough salt to call it seasoned. If you get anything other than the margherita or marinara, make sure you ask for it to be made with sauce. *Reply* Had the customer service been better when i asked for sauce, maybe i would. Had you had enough customer service to ask what was wrong when I took a bite out of a single slice and didn’t want a box, maybe i would have. None of this added up to the traditional napolitan I’ve experienced in Napoli. The attitude wasn’t even the same. You had your nose turned up from the moment we requested something different from the menu. I’ve lived in Naples, been all up and down Italy and never have i asked per una diavola and received una pizza bianca con salamino. Your 1 star could have been a 5 had there been customer service Less
It's insane to not have pepperoni in America!!! That is the most popular topping for pizza. It doesn't matter where you are from. You are losing huge profits not giving people what they want in THEIR country lol. Pepperoni may not be from Italy but it was created by Italian immigrants in Manhattan over 100 years ago. Get over yourself....
The food was tasty‐ unfortunately, the pricing was really high. One twelve inch pizza was $17. It was super, super thin, with minimal toppings. Also, management was arguing with a customer about the food. They take it personally instead of professionally. It's a super small shop, and to hear every word of the argument was unsettling.

The woman inside was very nice. Owner comes in and asks if we have any questions. I said no and that I was thinking of getting the porky fig. She said oh that's a good seller. I said "yeah I like sweet and salty. I make a pizza at home that has the prosciutto, arugula and balsamic glaze on it." She went off saying they don't use that.That's it's a topping for rancid meat. We don't use that in Italian cooking. I tried to say that's okay I was just trying to say l like salty sweet. Both in my eyes would be salty sweet. (Prosciutto+fig jam, prosciutto+glaze). She wouldn't let me say anything. I just sat there looking down while she grilled me on why it's awful and rancid and tried not to cry. "We don't do sauces cuz it's not the Italian way. We don't have ranch or balsamic and that people leave all the time when I tell them that." It was intense for no reason. I say again "I'm not asking for you to change your pizza." I really just wanted to get up and leave at that point but just felt so awkward and trying not to cry. My husband and I sit in silence while waiting for the food and I try to collect myself. A little while after the food comes out she comes by and asks if we like it and says it's different huh? I'm like yep it's salty sweet. All in all the food was okay but won't be returning. Pizza was fine. Panini was very crunchy so if you have dentures or something I wouldn't recommend ordering. If She came off so strong and for what. To defend Italian cuisine against balsamic glaze. Like because I like something doesn't mean you have to serve it or like it. I really think it was a case of waiting to respond and not actively listening to what I was saying. Either way we won't be back. Got home and cried. Less
The Tuesday pasta special is an easy and delicious answer to what's for dinner. Everything is fresh and made with love.
Amazing food!!!
Amazing pizza and appetizers, you feel in the middle of Italy, for the environment and the food taste.
The portion size are very small, the pizza is really thin. Flavor wise it was good just wish it was filled a bit more. I had a Bianca pizza, and really felt like I was just eating dough with garlic, we also had the pizza fritta which was a deep fried calzone again mostly breading and then inside very empty.
Excellent place to eat and have a good time with family and friends. Love it!!
For an authentic Neapolitan Pizza, you need to come here. Whenever I’m in Fayetteville this is my number one Pizza go to place.
Amazing people. Crust is incredible so flavorful! It's probably one of the best crusts I've had. Neapolitan was perfect.

This place is just the best. Great food and wonderful staff. Pre ordered the Italian wedding soup and white bean dip and they were both amazing!!!! I will be back ASAP!!!
By far the best pizza in town! Authentic Italian pizza
Best pizza you can get in Fayetteville.
Never had authentic Italian anything before coming here. Now my wife and I are in love the this place. Each time we try something new. Tonight was the Margherita pizza with the prosciutto & arugula wood fired pizza. Starter was a panini pastrami & Swiss. So good, fresh homemade ingredients. Love it.

Delicious!! I love the taste of a brick oven baked pizza! I had the Margherita. The cheese was so good. Cute and cozy little pizza place. Thanks for having us!
Both my girlfriend and I thought the food and staff were awesome!! We will definitely go back!!
This place is amazing! I live a two-hour drive away, but I eat here every chance I get.
I'm from Argentina, best pizza in the world outside of Italy. The Margherita Pizza was good but too small for its prize. Portnoy would say "5.1 undercarriage a bit limp but not soggy, just a good plain pizza" Also...... Pizza Frita? Don't bother. Deep fried calzone like. Little filling and lots and lots of doughy, fried dough. After one bite I threw mine away.
The service was very friendly and personable.
Made fresh, so a little wait. Enjoyed my Panini, salad with fried mozzarella and tiramisu.
Had dinner with a friend. Pizza was hot, tasty, and arrived quickly. I had the Diavola and my friend had the Margherita. We both enjoyed them immensely.

Great pizza and good wine!
First of all, I WILL recommend this place. The only reason I gave it a four, is because I would have like a bit more spicy salame on my pizza or maybe spicy red sauce. Don’t expect a fancy place, but the owner was there and the staff was friendly. Most important after the food, is that the place was clean. Plus I would have liked a bit more pasta selection.
Gustos was an absolute delight for my girlfriend and me. From the moment we walked in, we were captivated by the outstanding food, impeccable service, and the charming atmosphere. I must say, I've never experienced such freshness in Fayetteville's dining scene. Gustos is truly a hidden gem that deserves a visit. We can't wait to go back!
Great service and food
The basic pizza (like just crust oil sauce herbs etc.) is simply the best you will eat. Just go there and make me a liar. Michael - US Army (Retired)
May be the best pizza and cannoli I've ever had. Highly recommend Gusto!
Excellent, true Italian pizza! Fresh ingredients and clean eating. 💯 recommend!
Great authentic Italian dishes.
Love this place, pizza is so tasty and the staff is friendly
I really don't like leaving bad reviews but I was excited to go to this place. It is very cramped and the seating is very uncomfortable. Myself and my husband both got different pizzas (Margherita, and proschuto) My pizza was very soggy and my husband's pizza was just dough with 2 peices of proschuto and a ton of arugula. Very disappointing considering all of the great reviews.
Worth a day trip if you don't live nearby. So so so so delicious. And real. And the wine was wonderful and they have a small cabinet of wonderful treasures to buy! Order it all. And then get Moscato and Almond cake and an espresso and a tiramisu and you will be CONVINCED you went to Italy.
Lovely little space with wonderful employees and delicious Italian food. Hidden gem!

It was my first time here and the worker walked me to my car holding the pizzas because I was with my 7m old. It was great seeing customer service like that. The food was amazing as well.
Burned crust far beyond charred pizza Napolitana. Customer service was also bad.
If you love thin crust pizza, this is the best pizza place in town. Pretty similar to the pizza I’ve had in Italy. I would recommend eating inside the restaurant for your first trip. The pizza crust is what makes it so delicious for me! One pizza will fill up one person!
The food was amazing, best pizzas and cheesecake I have had inawhile! Probably the most authentic Italian pizza I have had in this area.
This place is making fantastic oven fire pizzas and are absolutely worth a visit. The best place to get a pizza in Fayetteville, hands down. I enjoyed the margarita pizza and the arancini - both delicious. The tomato sauce on the pizza is killer! I'll definitely be coming back here for pizza nights!
Neapolitan is not my favorite style pizza, but it was good and very authentic. Owner is friendly and from Napoli. A hidden gem in Fayetteville.
We are surrounded by franchise food. I cook at home the majority of the time. Finding this restaurant is a blessing. I was very excited to taste her sauces. I was not disappointed. It will definitely be my go to in the future.
Fabulous pizza and a wonderful host who knows more about food than most, and who can talk soccer with you, and studied at Oxford. Mag-nifcent.
We walked in and were greeted like family. The food was made with love. If I weren’t from Virginia I’d would be back.
I’m from New Jersey and Virginia I’ve tried all different pizzas that was the best one I’ve ever had

My husband went in to order supper for us. He ordered two pizzas, dessert, and a caprese salad. Before he went in, I asked him to order the Lemoncello Cheesecake. The woman said that it's only available in the summer. Well it's summer and written on their front window. But whatever. According to him inside the building was like an episode of Kitchen Nightmares. To quote him, "This poor beleaguered woman is out of everything, is missing workers, keeps making loud, random statements. It's crazy." But still, I had seen pictures of the pizza online and really wanted to try this restaurant out. My husband eventually came out with the food, and we drove home. Clearly that was a mistake. We got home and opened the pizza boxes and the pizzas were identical. We ordered a Fancy Goat pizza and a Porky Fig pizza. Both pizzas were miserable looking- none of the generous amounts of cheese like the advertised photos or descriptions. The Porky Fig pizza had 0 fig preserves it seemed. I get that it's Italian and thin, which is fine, but you can't tell me there's a layer of fig preserves under the barely existent cheese and the thin crust when it's not there. The pizza was supposed to have mozzarella, parm, and feta cheese. It barely had sprinkles of feta cheese in the middle of the pizza. The Fancy Goat pizza, or what was supposed to be it, was identical and somehow had even less cheese. We called the shop and described the pizzas and our issues with it, and the woman asked us what we wanted her to do. She seemed frazzled about the Porky Fig pizza and told me "Americans aren't used to Italian pizza and that's how it's supposed to be". I told her that the pizzas didn't even look like their descriptions, one was completely wrong and the other missing almost all cheese ingredients listed on the menu. I told her we wanted the pizza we ordered and spent $60 on. She told my husband to bring the pizzas back to the shop and to show her the picture of the Fancy Goat pizza that I mentioned. So he did. When he got there, he showed her the picture that I took a screenshot of directly from her website when you Google search it. She told my husband that it was an old picture and that she didn't want to make us pizza and gave us cash back for the pizzas. Which, great, cash back. But we wasted gas and time just for that? Why even ask how she can fix the problem when she had no intention of doing so. We just wanted the correct pizzas. So I guess I'll never know how good Gustos pizza is. I hope nobody else has to deal with that woman on a bad day. What an awful experience. I wish we had taken pictures of the pizzas before she took them back, but we were just so upset over how all of this was handled that we forgot to do so. Less
10/10. Been there multiple, have tried most of the menu and had never disappointed. Great staff, great chef and chill atmosphere.
Excellent food. Quaint atmosphere. Fayetteville needs more places like these. We had the prosciutto/fig pizza and caprese salad and both were amazing. At the suggestion of the chef, we had an excellent napolese wine as well.
Where do I even begin. The entire experience was fantastic. A slice of Italy in Fayetteville! Will be returning
The staff was super accommodating and pleasant in preparing seven pies for a party. Each of the pizza types were uniquely delicious, and the arancini a delightful bite, especially the tomato variety. The cannoli is just incredible with a pleasant surprise of cinnamon popping up. Fayetteville is lucky to have Nadia share her vision and expertise.
Pay your workers more.
Out here charging over $20 for a pizza but paying $12/hr and doesn't know why people aren't applying lol what a joke.
terrible Pizza. they also don't pay their employees a living wage. this is an easy pass just find somewhere else.
Pay workers a living wage, $17.5 for a single childless individual in NC. What do you pay yourself? I bet it's more than $12/h.
Went to get a pizza in a napoletano pizzeria and they did not serve any ! Then we had to wait 20min for two panini sandwiches while we were the only customers ordering food !
I've been scouting this place for a while and I'm so glad we finally went in. Everything is so fresh and delicious. Ingredients matter and you can tell it's all chosen with intention. The wine was best I've had and dessert (canoli) can't be missed.
My family and I have been going to Gusto for over a year. The atmosphere is very friendly. Nadia treats you like you are family. The food!!

Real Italian pizza in Fayetteville. The owner is the family from Napoli. I would recommend this place if you want to try real Italian food.

The pizza was absolutely wonderful! Love the live basil they grow in the restaurant. Parking can be a little challenging.
Awesome job on every aspect

Fayetteville hidden gem! This is my go-to spot in town for pizza and more. Everything I’ve had is absolutely delicious and you can tell the ingredients are fresh and the preparation is with the utmost pride and care. The pizza is definitely not your standard American fare- the crust is exceptional, the combinations are simple but incredibly flavorful. It’s comfort food and the treat of authentic Italian cuisine rolled into one. This is the only place I’ve eaten an entire pizza to myself! Added bonus is the Italian wine selection! Less
My new favorite place in town! Food was amazing and owner was very friendly (loved listening to them speak Italian in the back) great spot for an authentic Italian lunch
I have been a fan of Nadia and her Gusto Napoletano Italian Restaurant since the first time I tried one of her pizzas. All of her "special" pastas have been so delicious! Her artichoke and garlic hummus is steps ahead of other hummus. Now let's discuss her fresh croissants and breads. Wow! Tiramisu...life changing!

Her carefully selected Italian wines are reasonably priced and are delicious also. Let's not forget Nadia's Amaretto Cheesecakes ❤️ she made for the holidays, special orders only. If you have not tried this gem of a restaurant tucked away off Raeford Road, you are truly missing out on authentic Italian food made by a talented female Italian chef who is truly dedicated to sharing her fabulous Neopolitan cuisine 😋 Susan Taylor Less
Best pizza around. Fresh ingredients. Outstanding food and quality.
Truly a hidden gem of Fayetteville; I wish Gusto got more hype! Every time we dine here we are blown away by the service & the food. You can really taste the freshness & quality of ingredients used. We've done takeout and dine-in and both experiences are great. Highly recommend for an authentic, tasty, and fresh meal in Fayetteville!

Amazing food in a great environment! Everything we had was delicious and we plan on going back real soon!

Yesterday was my first time visiting. I had already pre-ordered the minestra maritata also known as Italian wedding soup. While waiting I observed on the window fried pizza with collards. I was intrigued! So, while inside I inquired and ordered! The soup didn’t disappoint! Very delicious and the meatballs was so fresh! The collard pizza frittata although the dough was very good. I do wish it was stuffed with more collards and I think I would omit the ricotta cheese. It was a kick to see the fire wood stove and see a pizza come out and be boxed! I would definitely visit again. The owner was very nice and answered all questions I had. Less
Margherita pizza and great service like no other!
Love this place. Great pizza! And VEGAN options. Very professional friendly staff.
Hands down the best Italian in Fayetteville. Brought me right back to my days in Italy! THE SAUCE.. THE PIZZA… THE DESERT AND THE WINE . Wow chefs kiss !!
Authentic Italian pizza and pasta. The owner and chief are friendly and nice to talk to. They have the best pizza in the area with great wine pairings. You can tell the pasta is homemade and it really is amazing. Their dessert are pretty awesome and I cant stop thinking about the fried cheesecake. Its also a great place to buy wine bottles!!!!!
How pizza is supposed to be,so yum
This is from now on my go to pizzeria 🥹 best authentic pizza i have had in the states it is like the one in Napoli
Awesome customer service and delicious food!
A couple of weeks ago I ate here for the first time and I will say that every one in my party agreed: BEST PIZZA EVER! For dessert we shared a fried or baked (not sure how it was cooked) pastry filled with bananas … oh my goodness, it was awesome! Will absolutely be a repeat customer!
Delicious! We had calamari, pasta, and cannoli and it was all so good!

I was expecting something else. I didn't like the pizza
My first time in and I ordered the Margherita pizza, caprese salad and the tiramisu. Was not disappointed. Everything tasted SO fresh! You can tell the owner uses genuine quality ingredients. Also got to meet the owner and she was very kind. A beautiful restaurant with delicious food.

I Agreed 1000% this is one of the few places that state authentic and actually is. To much pandering in America and im very thank full for this place to bring a little bit of Italy back here so that my mom could relive her childhood. Food = 10 Authenticity = 10. i love how i could taste the wine in the sauce. Bravo Less
Get the marinara pizza if you don’t eat cheese! It’s flavorful. I added the spicy salame calabrase too. It’s wood fired and thin crust, absolutely delicious. The ladies that work with the owner are very sweet. The bean dip and hummus *chef’s kiss*
Phenomenal!!! Please close later during the weekday. 8 pm on a Thursday is too early. I need more of your pizza!
E’ tutti buono !!! Authentic and delicious.
A special place for people that want to feel like Naples. A wonderful small restaurant with a taste of Naples. Today it was a pastrami and arugula panini. Crostini with fresh figs for an appetizer!
Really good pizza and fast service. We had a group of 10 and they just kept bringing them out as they were ready.
This is the closest you can get to the true & traditional Italian pizza in probably 100 mile radius of Fayetteville. Even the setup is traditional. Loved the food, service, and atmosphere.
Return trip soon!!! When you walk in you get hit with the most amazing smells!!!! The food was even more amazing!!!! FRESH INGREDIENTS gave my pizzas and bread the great taste I expected when I walked in. The owner is great, funny and knows pizza ( and other food). Looking forward to trying her jams. So worth the stop and extra hour on my way up north.

I cannot believe I waited so long to go here. Went with my family and we all got different pizzas, and tiramisu. Everything about it was delicious!! This is my new favorite pizza restaurant. The owner and all of the staff were so welcoming and nice. The vibe inside was great. Cant wait to go back, often.
Had a great date night! Pizza was fabulous and the wine was really great! Great brick fired pizza! Good came out very quickly! They also sell wine! Great local restaurant, please support local owners! Will definitely be repeat customers!!! Prices were great!
fantastic pizza. large dessert portions. friendly staff. you really can't go wrong here.
I’m from NYC and this is the closest pizza I’ve found comparable. Thin crust, wood fired and everything is made from scratch. Price a bit high but if you’re not feeding a family of 6 it’s SO worth it! Desserts are prime to. I’ve NEVER had a bad experience, always prime. The owner is from Italy and she reminds me of my grandmas, a little fisety but knows what she’s talking about! Eat there or or... More

Não gostei da pizza! Borda muito grossa e dura. Sem sabor. Aqui em Fayetteville não existe uma pizza boa.
Food and service was excellent (Översatt av Google) Mat och service var utmärkt
I was expecting your run of the mill pizzeria, but this place has a different caliber of pizza. Definitely not what I expected, but very good. The food is a little pricey, but in my opinion, it's well worth it. The freshest ingredients, amazing flavor, wood fired pizza. Definitely worth a shot if you're in the area.
Talked with the owner Nadia read the reviews you definitely have to try this restaurant across from Harris Teeters on Raeford Rd. Fayetteville NC
First time visiting today - will definitely be a return customer. The staff was friendly and engaging, the food had bright flavors, and the atmosphere felt like you were sitting in a family members kitchen. Not a lot of indoor seating so call ahead to see how busy they are. Definitely worth visiting or placing an order for takeout.
Best pizza in town. I’m from NYC and this is by far the very best pizza! It is not American pizza. So don’t be surprised if it’s different. Fresh dough. Fresh ingredients and authentic taste. My picky kid ate half a pizza and loved it. Great wine and nice atmosphere. Will order every week and can’t wait to try the pasta.

The food is excellent and the service is great!
Enjoyed a quick & simple lunch with may daughter. Friendly staff, clean restaurant, and conscious owner. Had the panini Parmigiano < a repeat for me> & Spinich Pizza Fritta. Fresh & delicious.
I have been a customer from when they first open. Still a customer. You cannot find more authentic Neapolitan pizza anywhere in this town. And the pasta specials! Just like in Italy, cooked right.
It's embarrassing to say this is napoleon style pizza! me and my friends ordered the most simple pizza (margharita) and we both even agreed the pizza is all dough and was not cooked evenly throughout, which is a big rookie mistake especially when Naples is known for their pizza.

Why would you disgrace our country like this! When using a brick oven you have to know what your doing and how quickly to rotate the pizza for a evenly cooked pie shouldn't take more then 60-90 seconds, Though you can clearly tell this lady is americanized or trained by a community college. I would rather go to Elizabeth's where the owners are really from Naples and actually have the experience to know how to turn a pizza correctly. It's no surprise to see why this restaurant shutdown so many times now. Me and my friends will not be back, absolutely awful. Less

She takes pride in their authenticity. We ordered the traditional margherita and the Fancy Goat Pizza, baked in a traditional brick oven that is easily observed from your seat and delivered to your table in no time at all. One size for all, but it is very light and filling and doesnt leave you feeling engorged or disgusted. All ingredients are made from scratch and the pizzas are reasonably priced. Looking forward to going back again. Less

Amazing food and wine selection. If you haven't tried the weekly pasta specials, you are missing out on one of the greatest pleasures of life. The desserts are what dreams are made of.
Awesome fresh made pizza as always. Great wine selection. Desserts are on point, too…”take the cannoli”. Haha. And don’t forget to check on the counter for miscellaneous fresh made items like jelly or other desserts.
Wonderful food, great service, they even made gluten free pasta (with advance notice) for my husband.
This is real deal Italian/Neapolitan pizza. Fayetteville ppl looking for the genuine article get there as soon as you can!
Four stars for the pizza I have had it a few times and it is good. I ate the pasta excited, penne vodka is my favorite, but I ate one piece. The website did not say it had meat when I placed an order. So yeah I knew the taste saw bits of meat in it. It was 12$, expensive for the tiny amount you get and I had ordered two.

Im sure the others are good but taste is individualized. They did not enjoy it either. Probably wont order the pasta ever. Less

My boyfriend and I went here the first time the other weekend. The food is amazing! The pizza is authentic unlike domino's etc. Great prices too. The atmosphere of cozy, the restaurant is nice and I love the area of fresh basil that's growing!! The lady who runs the restaurant is kind as well and we enjoyed chatting with her. Definitely my new favorite restaurant and we will be back.
Delicious food beautiful presentation. I have no complaints.
5 stars. Food is delicous!
Only one word comes to mind: WOW!!! We have been in NC for about six years and often lamented that pizza in and around Fayetteville was decent at best. Gusto’s is definitely the best pizza in Fayetteville without question. We definitely look forward to making this our go to place for pizza.

DO NOT: expect greasy, salty, american pizza. Do not expect wall to wall cheese and sauce. DO expect healthy food, even the Tiramisu! Do expect the owner to have that "Italian flair"!! The restaurant may not be for everybody (those without taste, those without a sense of humor or can't take a joke) but it's darn sure for me. Every time I go in there it's kind of like a raucous episode of Cheers. While business is going full-bore and trust me- it gets CRAZY BUSY in there, the staff are still attentive enough and good enough to make it feel like home. I LOVE THIS PLACE! Less
Overpriced and very mean atmosphere didn't feel welcomed at all
Coming from a full Italian mother it's hard to find good Italian food without making it at home but here it's always the best
Very authentic Italian restaurant with adorable atmosphere! Must try Fancy Goat pizza.
Delicious pizza, friendly staff. Must try
Great food…..great customer service! Will be back!!!!
La pizza estava muy buena aunque havia muy poca cantidad de alimentos.
I cannot with this pizza. It reminds me of saturday’s back home, when we would go to Napoli Pizza. Nadia is the sweetest, most enabling host. Came for one Pizza, left after eating two, tons of Lambrusco and Dessert ❤️ Our favorite!!!
Tried their Pizza... Amazing! Highly recommend.
