Gambinos Pizza

Don’t be fooled into thinking this is a local family run business. It’s a small franchise based out of Wichita «Sauce Brand Inc.»
I was here on business and given the limited culinary options I thought I’d give it a try. I ordered the lasagna and house salad. The server pulled my plastic box salad out of the refrigerator and handed it to me on a plate (still in the box) and told me the silverware was around the corner. It to 20 minutes to get the lasagna. With the long wait, I started to think «Well, maybe it’s taking so long because it’s made fresh.» I was wrong. First, it was smothered in so much sauce I could not even see the lasagna. Second, the sauce was awful. It tasted like a low grade pizza sauce out of a can that they added some type of meat to. (I never could determine if it was ground beef or some type of pork sausage.) Third, it came out piping hot, however the ricotta filling between the layers of noodles was cold and raw. Usually a ricotta filling has raw egg in it. It clearly was not cooked all the way through. I took two bites and left. I did not tell the staff. They were all young kids working there and were probably doing the best with what they have. But if the owner of this restaurant reads this review, please work with your staff on food presentation and quality control of what’s coming out of your kitchen.

The food was very tasty. We had multiple items and all was good. One thought her fettuccini Alfred tasted like American Cheese but nobody else thought that.
Jalapeño Ravioli appetizer is worth trying. The garlic cheese bread is typical of most Italian restaurants. Mobster Pizza is very good. I had a mini sized pizza and shared bread and ravioli appetizer and I had plenty to eat. Maybe even too much. The garlic bread you get with your entrée is different from the bread appetizer.
You order at the counter and they bring your food to you. The non-​alcoholic drinks are self serve. It is very casual dining.

Here on business for awhile and stopped in. While enjoying ourselves an associate of ours heard the waitress tell the girl at the register that we were dumb ass rednecks.
Not sure what she had against us, maybe we were having to much of a good thing, and just felt the need to open her mouth. But that is bad for business. Especially when the customer hears it!

Always a good place to stop on travels along 81. Pizza is pretty good, had the Hawaiian (pineapple/​Canadian bacon) and pepperoni most recently. Service usually very friendly.

I’m not sure how a town of 6,000 people is home to such a darling pizzeria. We stopped through Concordia on a fast-​food-​free road trip from central Nebraska to the Gulf coast in TX, and this restaurant was our first delightful Unilocal-​assisted find.
We ordered a pepperoni pizza and a family-​sized salad. Both were totally adequate and filled up our family of four nicely (including a 3 ½-​yr-​old and an 18-​month-​old).
The building and décor are what makes it a gem in the KS prairie. Beautiful hardwood, great paint colors, intimate lighting, paintings on the door panels, high ceilings, and hilarious mannequin legs hanging from the ceiling in the men’s restroom. In the barely-​above-​zero temps that day, we didn’t venture out to the beautiful patio in the back, where it looked like there was also a party room.
Well done, I want to visit Concordia again soon!
