Gus’s Pizzeria & Texas Weiners

Taste is the only thing that saves this place from a one star review. I have gone to Gus’s almost all my life, I moved away for years and it’s the same family resteraunt but the service and portions suck. We are almost always told to pull forward in the driveway and the last 3 times they left us out there and I had to go in and get my food and the portions to top it off have shrunk. I just paid $ 8.50 for a chicken cheese steak salad and it came in a side salad dish. I’ll attach a picture. My mother in-​laws cheesteak was gone on 8 bites! Compared to other places in town it’s pathetic. I’ll drive a little further and be satisfied!

I’ve been several times and was never really impressed but last Saturday’s visit was probably the worst. While the pizza had a good taste the crust was very thick, soft and doughy. The Italian Sub was a mess, the bread was tough and the tomatoes weren’t ripe (come on, really, a bad tomato in New Jersey!). I’m not sure why every one raves about their Texas Weiners because I think they are the worst. The hot dogs are usually soft (like a cheap brand) and they’re very skimpy on the sauce.

Passing through and wanted some local flavor. This is it! The Texas Weiner is really good. The famous sauce makes the difference. Pizza is great! The dough is perfectly light and crispy. Highly recommended!

Why isn’t pizza this good in the Midwest? While in the area for business, I asked the hotel clerk who had the best pizza and she recommended Gus’.
I ordered the buffalo chicken pizza with bread sticks for delivery. The crust was buttery and deliciously cooked. There were plenty of toppings on the pizza. The hot sauce had just the right amount of kick and heat. The bread sticks were loaded with garlic and Parmesan cheese. Both were very tasty.
The next time I’m in town I will definitely dine with them again. I would love to try some other things on their menu such as their loaded fries.

In Pennsville, near the state line of Delaware and New Jersey we were lucky enough to stay over at a hotel that recommended Gus’s pizza.
Delicious. Crust — amazing. Sauce — divine. Cheese — heavenly. We will be back on our next trip through.
Highly recommend!

Had a turkey sub last week. Goood! Turkey was nice and moist, fresh roll, and shredded lettuce — luv the shredded lettuce.

Great food and very reasonable prices. Texas weiners are good, pizza is good, cheese steaks are better than any place in Philly (and I have eaten them all over) and they also have great hot wings. Gus’s is a long time Pennsville tradition and with all of the other great places to eat, it would not have lasted so long if it were not really good.

So sad… no reviews yet!!! I think everyone who goes here just takes it for granted… we cannot find a pizzeria like this in Florida.:(Every time I go home to visit I have a Texas Weiner or a pizza steak. I have had a pizza steak from the other places in town but Gus’s does it best, hands down.
For those who have not enjoyed these items, let me splain:
A texas weiner is a hot dog split in half, grilled, and served on a special bun that fits it perfectly. It comes with a special chili sauce, very finely chopped onions, and mustard. Just so darn tasty. Legend has it that my maternal grandfather (who passed before my birth) could eat one of these in 2 bites. Very impressive! I wouldn’t want to hurry the experience like that but I can understand. :)
A pizza steak CAN be had here in Florida but is not made the same way at all. Down here, they take a cheese steak and ladle on some pizza sauce. In Pennsville (and all places make it the same way but Gus’s does taste the best to me) the ingredients… the steak, cheese, and sauce… are somehow all glommed together and put on the roll and they become one with the roll. Add in some sautéed onions and mushrooms and you are talking melt-​in-​your-​mouth nirvana. Admittedly, my husband does not worship the pizza steak as I do but he’s from CT and calls subs grinders and rubber bands elastics so what the heck does he know??? :)
There are many other menu items and I’m pretty sure my mother has tried them all… she keeps a drawer full of take out menus and Gus’s is her main go-​to spot. She raves about whatever she gets and especially loves the hot roast beef sandwich… with extra gravy… for her french fries… what…you thought my family was into health food???
Oh, and if you’re feeling ultra lazy, they do have a drive through for pick ups… top that! :)
