So, I drive by this place all the time but this was my first time trying them out. I called in my order for take out.... I ordered the 10" pizza with extra cheese and bacon and i also ordered 6 wings, extra crispy, with Garlic Parm sauce. They had my order ready in about 20 minutes. Both the pizza and wings were hot and still hot when I got home, about 10 minutes away.The service.... I ordered over the phone and that was very easy. When I arrived, the staff was very busy but waited on me quickly. They weren't as friendly as I would have liked, especially for a local establishment, but they were efficient and attentive. The in dining area was small but tastefully decorated. There were about 10 people dining in.The pizza.... I liked the size and it had a generous amount of toppings. They also provided an extra cup of the sauce for dipping. The sauce was tasty with just enough spices and they use real bacon, definitely a plus.. Unfortunately they burnt the bottom which I didn't see until I got home; and while it still was edible, the burnt taste prevailed.The wings..... They gave me 4 flats and 2 drumsticks and as I mentioned, I ordered them extra crispy. The size, taste and texture were fine but unfortunately they weren't done crispy enough for my liking.I will probably give them another try but I was hoping for a better experience.Parking: Small lot and nothing up close

Purchased 3 pepperoni and cheese pizza's on a Friday night. The pizza reminded me of Lil Caesars pizza. It was awful. The crust was soggy from the pepperoni. Hardly any pepperoni on it. Not worth $48 for 3 large pizza's with pepperoni and cheese. Save your money and go to Lil Caesars if you like that kind of pizza.

A little hidden gem off 315 in Delaware. Recently has new ownership. The decor has been updated & modernized. They now serve a full bar, with unexpected selections of high end bourbons at below Cbus market prices. The cocktails are made fresh and tasty.Service is quick and friendly.Food is better than the rough “ dive bar” exterior suggests.My go to recommendations whether eating there or to be delivered: meatball sub, pepperoni, pizza , the meatball appetizer, chicken Parmesan entrée. They have a pretty delicious homemade fettuccine Alfredo when available give it a try.Parking: Unpaved lot behind Gabby’s. Can get full during rush hours.

In a word...No. Just, no.One caveat to this review, it was brunch, they were busy, but there were two tables open the entire time, so they weren't 'slammed.'Food arrived after one hour. Eggs Benedict dish was literally cold, not even Luke warm, which means it had been sitting out in a breezy area for a while. Second dish was room temperature, and I shouldn't have eaten the over easy eggs on top of my ribeye hash(potatoes), but I was starving. 30 minutes later, I paid the price for not listening to my instincts. Insert your own colorful imagery here, but the remainder of the day's plans had to be canceled.A couple arrived shortly after us, at the next table over, and ended up waiting an hour for their food. They were putting on their coats to leave when their food arrived. They sat back down, suspiciously touched their food with their fingers, because they had no silverware, confirmed with each other that their dishes were cold, stood up, and left. So, it wasn't just our isolated experience during this Sunday brunch.Maybe the pizza is good, or the stromboli, but the Sunday brunch is not worth the stomach rejection risk. First time trying Gabby's, with excitement and high hopes, last time speaking their name, unless it's to warn other new customers. Buyer beware.

This place is ridiculously good. Bring your own parking spot because this place is always packed. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but you will immediately be impressed with the quality of their food. I love their pizzas. Everything is great, picking a favorite is difficult. You should go here if you never have been, or go again because you obviously know it's great.Parking: Always busy because this place is delicious
