Lambros and Helen, Just heard that you have closed, so sorry to hear this and know it was a hard decision with a heavy heart. We applaud you and thank you for your years of service. I grew up in Cookeville and as long as I've been alive Gondola has been in business. I now live in NC but every time I come home with my family our first stop is Gondola for a sausage and onion pizza. Hope to see you guys relocate, if you do I will be right there in line when the doors open. Thank you for everything and enjoy a little down time, it is well deserved.

I have never been served with such garbage food in my whole life. It was awful. The chicken tenders had such a disgusting texture. You couldn't even tell that it was chicken. Very rude staff. Didn't touch my plate and they still was trying to charge me for it. Awful place. Don't waste your money!

Pizza looked amazing. Wish we ordered, but our choices were delish. I had chicken sauteed with mushrooms and onions and my husband had the gyro dinner. Both were excellent.

Overall, we were not impressed with our take-out experience here. My husband ordered the House Specialty pizza (without green peppers), & we were very disappointed. The pizza just seemed bland. There was not much seasoning, not enough sauce, scant pepperoni, watery mushrooms, & soggy crust on the bottom. Also, there are no COVID precautions here, so we would not feel comfortable eating in or ordering frequently from this restaurant. I'm sorry to say we won't be returning here.

The food here is ok. I had the gyro platter and the entree was good. There was plenty of food. The tzatziki sauce was VERY plain. It tasted like sour cream. Almost no flavor at all. I have also had the greek salad. It was very good. I would have liked larger pieces of feta. The side spaghetti was very bland.
I was traveling through and was staying across the street. Instead of having it delivered, I wanted to support local business as much as possible. Ordered a calzone was told 15-20 minutes. Come back 20 minutes later and was told it would be right up. 20 minutes later I’m told the ticket never made it to the kitchen so they’re just now starting on it. They young lady who rung me up offers me a dessert or a drink which I appreciated. I finally got it, got back to my room and some of the dough was still raw in the center. I was too tired to walk back across the street. Service was great though as far as customer service goes.

I will first say this ..I am not a pizza person. Just never have been but I decided to have their pizza today. I was shocked at how amazing this pizza was. Hands down, best pizza I have EVER had. I got the pepperoni and black olives with alfredo instead of marinara. SO good! The service was great. Our server was friendly and attentive. The owner came by several times to check on us as well and talk with us. Great food! Great service! We will definitely be back!

I thoroughly enjoyed this place. It's a neighbourhood family Italian place. Not fancy. More of a small hometown feel. I ordered the Veal Parmesan. My mom got the meatball calzone. We both loved our dishes. Service was friendly. I don't live in the area but I'd love to go back again.
