Gus's New York Pizza is Delicious

We actually found this wonderful little restaurant via a wonderful marketing technique. When we moved to Yorktown, Gus's New York Pizza sent us a coupon for their pizza. We tried it and the rest, as they say, is history.

Gus's New York Pizza is a family owned restaurant with two locations in the heart of Yorktown. One location is in the upscale Kiln Creek area on the border of Yorktown and Newport News. The other is located on the George Washington Memorial Highway in Yorktown's Grafton area. Both restaurants have the same things in common: a clean, attractive, and charming restaurant; a firm commitment to customer service; and excellent food.

Gus's Pizza specializes in pizza done New York style; thick and utterly delicious. With dough that is made fresh daily, the freshest ingredients known to man, and a wide selection of toppings to choose from, Gus does pizza right. But that's not all they do right.
