Why Locals Love It
Customer Reviews
"The food here is amazing, not only their wood oven baked pizza but they entrees as well. The ingredients are so fresh and some they even grow themselves. The pizza sauce is delicious, but don't forget the dessert. I feel like this picture doesn't do that dessert justice. I would definitely recommend this place and as for the prices, I feel like they are average. A small pizza can feed 2 people easily and depending on toppings, you're looking at spending around $20. Entrees vary from $20-$30 per person but they have a good portion size. This place won't be a disappointment 🤤"




"The best food ever! We love coming to eat here, the only place i will eat red sauce out as I’m a very picky Italian! We love that everything is homemade and tastes super fresh, we frequent here at least once a month!"




"The food, atmosphere and our waitress JoJo was totally great. Everything about the place was exactly what I expected. The food was delicious. We had the homemade raviolis which were to die for. The stuffed clams and the spicy meatballs that were on special for the night with the hot peppers was exceptionally good. So glad I finally came To this place!!"




"We ordered the homemade pastas and gnocchi. Everything was very good and you could tell it was all homemade. The meals were enormous and had a lot of variety of different cheeses too. The Nanny Grace's pasta was my favorite. The noodles were delicious and the sauce with the cheese was a fantastic combination. The staff was friendly and hard working. They just zipped by the table a bit quickly so it was hard to ask for things you needed. The decor was fun with pizza like decorations on the ceiling and the booth dividers had fun pictures drawn on them. The only thing when your first get in it's a bit tight especially if people are doing take out too. All I'm all, I definitely want to go back again."

The Forgotten Origins of Hawaiian Pizza
Hawaiian pizza, known for its controversial combination of pineapple and ham, was actually invented in Canada, not Hawaii. Sam Panopoulos, a Greek-Canadian restaurateur, introduced this unique topping in 1962 at his Ontario-based restaurant. The name 'Hawaiian' was inspired by the brand of canned pineapple he used, sparking a culinary debate that continues to divide pizza enthusiasts worldwide.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the crust taste at GG's?
The crust is thin and wood-fired, so it has a crisp edge with a little char. It’s not thick bread; think of a crunchy, slightly smoky base that holds lots of toppings without getting soggy.
Is the pizza sauce sweet or spicy?
Many guests notice the sauce as sweeter and tangier than very sharp tomato sauces. It balances sweetness and bright tomato flavor, so toppings like sausage or spicy pepperoni pop against it.

Do they serve white clam or seafood pizzas?
