Papa Gios Of Chuluota

Now dis is pizzzzaaaa! The sauce is fantastic. Reminds me of home !! I love this place

I live in cypress lakes and have been here before, however, last night was the first time in awhile– the quality of food and service hasn’t been consistent-​EVER. Thought we’d give it another shot. Wrong… I Called in an order and they said it would be 1.5 hours for delivery. ok no problem I said, I will come and pick it up-it’s only 5 min from my home. I get there, they said it’s being delivered, called all their drivers, can’t find the order. .meanwhile. .no one’s is telling me what’s going on. .15 min later when someone from the counter FINALLY asked me if I was being helped and I said no, not really… the lady who was calling the drivers was not telling me what she was doing and I’m just hanging there, meanwhile 20 min have passed. .I canceled the order, they never found my food btw… and no, I’m sorry for the inconvenience… won’t be back EVER. .AND I will be telling others that live in cypress lakes and wedge field about my experience. It wasn’t the issue of the food, it was the issue of your customer service… easily fixed by employing customer service focused people:)

First time ordering yesterday and purchasing the fettuccine alfredo adding chicken. Chicken spice was ok and the sauce was very bland. I had to add lots of pepper, cheese and garlic powder to make it taste right. I could have gotten a better meal at Olive Garden and paid the same. This is sad. I think I will stay away from them.

Eggplant dinner was not good. It was greasy and had a odd taste. It was not whole pieces of eggplant. The salad was good and the pasta was ok. First time eating here and was not impressed.

This place is always awesome. If you do carry-​out the wait is usually pretty quick. Great customer service. Fantastic food. Their pizza is awesome and their anti pasta salad… yum…yum…yum! I love this place!!!

Pretty good pizza and Stromboli. There are better in the area but Papa Gio’s is definitely better than the local chain pizza places. They have it especially difficult as there is a chain pizza shop next door which in my opinion is very bad business practices but I guess they like the competition. As the place is close to my house I have only once sat in to dine. The atmosphere within the restaurant seemed a bit cramped but they did well with the space available.

Ate here for the first time today it’s super close to my house we purchased one pepperoni and one sausage 16″ and it was insanely delish! So happy I found this authentic NY style pizza spot!

My best friend took us here, so glad to find a gem like this!
Appetizers ordered:
Fried Zucchini, fresh and not too skinny, fried perfectly.
Stuffed Shrimp, stuffed with a decent amount of crab meat and cheese, very fresh and flavorful!
Stuffed Eggplant Rollatini, cooked perfectly with the right amount of sauce and cheese. Breading was not too heavy. This is a very large appetizer to be shared for sure.
Garlic Knots are AMAZING! Best knots I’ve ever had, soooo much garlic and perfect bite size pieces! I would drive 25 minutes just to order those!
Main dishes ordered:
Gyro Platter, meat was tender, fresh, seasoned well. Tzatziki was very good, you could taste the cucumber and it was a nice light flavor not overly creamy.
Meat lovers Pizza, crust was fantastic and I’m not a fan of pizza (my son ordered it). The meat was pilled on (this never happens at the chain pizza joints), so much meat it was falling off! The meat was high quality, not grizzle like the cheap chains.
Veal and Eggplant Parmigiana, sauce is so good, nice seasoning, big chunks of tomato, not too heavy on the breading and just the right amount of cheese. Eggplant was not over cooked, it’s sliced properly to be cooked without becoming mushy.
Veal Marsala, meat was very tender. This is an amazing dish! A lot of places mess it up, the sauce was perfect and the pasta was cooked just right!
We felt like family here, the server Darrian was soooo helpful and sweet! She knows the product, it was such a pleasure having her in our evening conversations at the table!
This was my first visit and it is a new favorite for sure!!!

Food was adequate. Calzone was very bland, eggplant parm was greasy, and flatbread pizza need much more seasoning. Server was lovely, but food was not authentic.

The first two times I’ve ordered from here the pizza was great, but for some reason recently the pizza has arrived to my house cold. This is very upsetting because it took a hour and a half to get the pizza. Thats not including the fact that I live less than two miles from the place. Called to speak to manager about this problem and she asks me «What do you want me to do?». Albeit the pizza is very good when hot, but this just doesn’t make up for the sub par service I’ve been receiving.

I can definitely say that I have NOTHING wrong to write about Papa Gio’s. There food that I have had is very very good. Pizza, wings, salad, and pasta amazing. But my favorite Menu item is the garlic knots I can literally eat like 3 bowls of them, there amazing!
Over all just great authentic Italian food (:

My family and I love getting pizza delivered from here. The pizza is the best I’ve ever had! Just a simple cheese (extra cheese) pizza shines in flavor. That’s always our true test of a good pizzeria. I’ve dined in a couple of times and I wouldn’t exactly recommend that. The service isn’t terrible but it isn’t very good. Choose your meal wisely– stick to the basics– and you won’t be disappointed. The chicken parm is pretty good. Otherwise, order a pizza and you’ll definitely be pleased. Our tried and true favorite is extra cheese pizza. They also have great pizza specials on certain days of the week. Check out their website.

Papa Gio’s is our favorite take out place in the area! Love the pizza and the gyro salads are amazing! Lots of salad, olives, feta, tomatoes etc and the pitas are warm and perfect!

The standard of quality shines here with both their food and their service. I did not expect this when walking in, frankly we intended on entering the next door pizza place at first. Ona whim we chose Papa Gios and we’re glad we did.
The food came fast, and the wait staff was far more pleasant and attentive than the majority of dining experiences I’d had in far more «ritzy» places. I really got the feeling that every person working that day, from cook to server, genuinely cared that I was happy to be there.
Well done, all around!

Only problem here is the grease! damn, half the bottom of the pie is soggy from the grease. But i get over that pretty quick because its great, fresh pizza. I just got back from brooklyn, NY and this taste pretty much the same, minus the grease

Something has changed. Not sure but i think they switched cheeses they use. A lot of oil now. It’s like they switched to Grande cheese or something, I have noticed Grande cheese uses a much greasier cheese and that is what their pizza is like now. it may be they are using a mixture of cheeses that weren’t used before. i am having a problem with this change. You can tell right away that something has changed by the color of the cheese and sauce layered in oil.
This may no longer be an option for us, it is extremely close to Marcos now and I cant stand them.
Looks like we lost another joint.

Absolutely best Sicilian pizza we’ve had in a very long time! I can’t wait to go back! Really good!

Consistently good pizza. Great deal on Mon and Tue, large cheese pizza for pickup $ 8.99. This place is ten times better than their predecessor «Bronx Pizzeria.» Service is quick and the staff are friendly. A nice hidden gem out here in east orange.

Second time here pizza okay i have had better. Order was called in and ready when picked up. Order was also correct.
