When we got there the owner was getting wood out of their car to bring inside and my husband offered to help her. She declined. We come in and have a seat and start looking at the menu.
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.

Loved this place. They had a giant wood fired oven in the front , which they cooked the pizza. It was cool watching them turn my pizza. The staff was very friendly and helped me figure out what all was on the menu. The Chef was also very helpful with picking out the perfect wine from there Italian wine selection to go with our meal. We sat at what the Chef was a "Communal table" inwhich we sat with a another family which was also cool because we made some new friends. Would highly recommend and definitely will be coming back.

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.

Caprese salad, fresh bread, rose, margherita, diavola, tiramisu and espresso cheesecake… brings us back to our time in Naples and sorrento… first and only restaurant that tastes as clean and fresh as back in Italy 🇮🇹 🍋 🍕

The best pizza place ever. I saw the one stars review and those people doesn't know what they're talking about. I'm from New York and I've been eating pizza in so many good places and Gusto is one of the best one, the service is amazing and if they're busy it's because is REALLY GOOD OF COURSE! I go there every time I can. The desserts are so good, the pizzas are amazing and everything is so fresh and please let's talk about the paninis ANOTHER LEVEL as well. I wish I can give them 100 stars because they deserve it.
