There is no place more deserving of praise! All their food is authentic and delicious! Why overpay for a calorie bomb that give you stomach aches when you can have a freshly made pizza that has more flavor with less ingredients. In my opinion, you won’t get a better fire roasted pizza anywhere in the state. Please don’t miss out and make this a place you regularly visit. 10/10

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!

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.

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.

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...

As an Italian visiting Fayetteville on vacation, I can assure you this is an authentic pizzeria. The place has a genuine, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The pizza is delicious—flavorful, well-balanced, and baked in a wood-fired oven, which gives it a richer, more intense taste. I highly recommend it if you want to experience real Italian pizza!

My Bae (Chris) loves oven brick pizza and we stumbled across this little hidden gem. He and I have both been to Italy so we know how Italian pizza tastes. This place is definitely somewhere to go if you are looking for authentic Italian pizzas. The owner, Nadia, welcomed us and gave us great customer service. She explained that all the ingredients used are imported from Italy. She is also one of the few female certified Neopolitan pizza maker. She explained the process of becoming a certified pizza maker. She also said she’s been at this location for 2 years. I have lived in the Fayetteville area for 11 years and haven’t heard of this place. If it weren’t for Chris to want oven bricked pizza, I still wouldn’t haven’t tried this place. We ordered the margherita pizza, salami pizza fritta, rice balls, and a caprese salad. Everything was delicious. I then ordered a spinach fritta as everything tasted great. The deep fried fritta was flavorful and they even have a Nutella one that I am going to try the next time I go there. The margherita pizza was very simply made but it was packed with flavor. You can taste the love that is put into their food. I would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting authentic Italian pizza. Nadia also does pasta Tuesday’s which is different every week. She said to check out her Facebook and Instagram pages to see what is available that day. Please check them out if you are in the Harris Teeter area as they are right across from there. The name of the restaurant is Gusto (which in means “Like” in Filipino).
