Came here for Happy Hour on 07/13 around 5pm. I believe it’s half-off apps. I don’t remember if there were any other deals. It was nice out so we sat on the patio with my dog. I’m surprised we were the only ones there.

They weren’t too busy till evening. While we waited for our party, we ordered the cheese curds. Be warned- they’re a cube shape so they don’t look like typical cheese curds but I was told they were good. One person had a ginormous salad but it didn’t have croutons. The Seoul food pizza is my go to. They haven’t changed the recipe over the years. It tastes the same and always phenomenal every time. The rest of my party got the Gotham. They allowed a small cake in the venue since we had a celebration. Glad this location is still around because whenever I crave hood pizza it always hits the spot ♥️

Nice atmosphere and friendly service. They have some great appetizers. Brussel Sprouts are super. The pizzas are more on the unique side. I thought the crust was some of the best tasting around but i didn’t enjoy the overall flavor of the pizza with some of the non-traditional toppings.

We had a family gathering for 25 people at Gusto a few Friday nights ago. We used their party room, which they don’t charge for. It was a perfect spot for us. The food was great and the service was excellent. They have a good selection to choose from and the price point was right for everyone. Thanks to all for helping to make our family gathering a success!

Best old fashions in town! Justin and Andy took great care of us last night at the bar. They even made a cute little mocktail for our toddler. Pizza is always delicious at this place. Please support this local place!

Love the updated bar. The food is spectacular, but I feel like they’re so busy and the new layout feels really noisy.

I heard they have a Detroit style pizza here and I’ve been wanting some since having it for the first time in Detroit. Gusto’s version was okay. Theirs was more deep than I recall from my previous experience. Des Moines does not have too many options when it comes to Detroit style pizza. So, I’ll continue to frequent here when I crave one.
