Guido’s Pizza Haven

The best pasta sauce I have ever enjoyed! Try the eggplant parm, thinly sliced with the amazing sauce. Don’t miss this place, it will become a favorite!

You can’t go wrong ordering takeout from here. They have great pizza and other Italian dishes. Best pizza for miles. Best way is to call in the order and then go and pick it up or order by phone on the way home from work. There can be quite a wait if you go to the store and order there. Hey, they’re busy because they’re good.

I have been coming to this restaurant for over fifty years and have enjoyed every meal made for me. The roll are delicious. They come hot the table with pads of butter underneath. You have several choice dishes to choose from. My personal favorites have been, of course, their pizza. My other favorites consist of the chicken Parmesan. A whole breaded chicken pounded flat, dipped ok breading and deep fried. Payed in a dish where Guidos famous sauce is spooned out on top. Along with the meal you a side salad and small child’s side of pasta. Other favorite include bake rigatoni. Pasta is cooked and put into a baking dish with cheese and meat along with their sauce. Then it’s thrown in to their oven with more cheese on and baked. Now of course their is their world famous pizza. All different variations you can think off. When I die, I want a large pepperoni on put in my casket. Anyways, say to Mike and look to see if the old man is there. Tell him how nice the place looks since they’ve move.

Was there on 12−6−15 for the first time and I must say it was really good. The service was great and quality of the food was good and the serving sizes were very satisfying. I would have given it 5 stars but hey do not except credit cards.

Having worked in Chester since I was a kid, very familiar with guido’s, new restaurant very nice food just ok, sauce very average, I have worked in one of the best Italian rest. Ever and this place doesn’t do Italian food justice

This place is high volume/​calories and not great taste in exchange for too much dinero. That’s it. Every positive review on Unilocal emphasizes the volume the Unilocaler got (well almost every review) That is S. A. D. It has some ok food. But I don’t judge my food quality by pound.

I don’t see the hype. Salad was LITERALLY swimming in an attempt at red wine vinaigrette. I literally poured out over a cup of dressing on to another plate. The waitress ignored me as I suggested it was soggy. Pizza seemingly (probably) was the same dough as the bread served with salad, which tasted like crusty French bread. Sauce had no flavor… Tasted like puréed tomatoes right out of the can. No basil, no nothing. My wife got the Chicken Milanese. Bear in mind, in Italian restaurants, pasta always comes with an entrée. At Guidos, you get two breasts of chicken fried French toast on a brûlée plate way too small to eat off of. And no pasta! They also do not offer a side of pasta. You must order the full size.
To top it off, what appeared to be the owner walked to every table that he recognized, chatted, and moved to the next. Any that he didn’t know a name, seemed to move on.
There was a waitress there who was really helpful and understanding. She ended up taking care of us instead of the original waitress. She felt bad but made sure we were as happy as we could be.
Also, who owns a business in 2015 that doesn’t take credit card… ESPECIALLY if you’re going to charge that kind of cash for Chef Boyardee.

Guido’s has a ATM machine right in the restaurant.
So no reason to pass up this excellent Italian restaraunt!

Very good homemade spaghetti and meatballs. Ask for extra sauce. I wasn’t a fan of the parm eggplant sandwich, but maybe that’s just me. Overall, I would highly recommend Guidos.

I have acquired a taste for Tommy V’s Pizza & Pastaria which is a competitor of Guido’s, opened by a former employee. But this is a review of Guido’s. Since opening the new place, they are now open for lunch which is a game-​changer. Lunch has always been an «Asian food» institution here as that was the best option available here in Chester. There are two Chinese and one Thai restaurant, as well as a crowd of other pizza places open for lunch (not counting fast-​food chains). Guido’s is the very best pizza and their sausage sub sandwich w/​cheese is to die for. The rest of the menu is OK, but a little pricey for a neighborhood pizza place. Almost all of the other pizza stores are open for lunch, so I guess it is about time that Guido’s joined the party. I’ve lived here for 42 years and Guido’s was here when I came…

Great pizza, the crust is the best part. I have been coming here for years and still will.

I grew up in Chesterland and the last time I was here it was 15+ years ago. It was okay back then…
NOW. new building and fresh décor. Very nice. Still a bit small.
The pizza was good, nice thick crust generous with the toppings good sauce. I enjoyed it.
Manacotti… I was expecting homemade noodles. Made me a little sad. The ricotta filling was okay, good sauce and meatballs were okay too.
The prices are a tad high for the quality of food. I’m hoping they increase the quality and get a liquor license. Or at least beer/​wine. (Had to stop at convienent next door to get some beer. beer and pizza go hand in hand)

They recently expanded and are experiencing growing pains. Service and product used to be second to none, but obviously the monstrous building they are in now is way too much for them. Called hours before closing time on a Friday night AND THEY WERE OUT OF PIZZA. Yes folks, the place nicknamed a «Pizza Haven» was out of pizza.

I just don’t know why everyone is making such a big deal about this place. I’ve had way better Italian food. I think their pizza’s crust is too thick, but not thick enough (or tasty enough) to be considered deep dish. So you basically eat a ton of dough with some toppings.
I was underwhelmed by other dishes we tried. The eggplant was super greasy, and the pasta was no better than the 5 minutes pasta with sauce I make at home.
I also think they’re totally overpriced; but their servings are big, they’re meant for sharing, so I suppose that justifies some of the high pricing. Still, our bill was huge and we didn’t enjoy the food all that much.

I read some of the reviews and was almost hesitant to go… glad we did.
Yes, they are open for lunch. No, they don’t take credit/​debit cards. The service was wonderful. Everyone was attentive and cordial and helpful… not just our server who was great.
We ordered the Baked Ziti. Two people shared it and we barely made a dent in it. We ordered a small pizza and it was great… deserving of all the accolades.
There’s a reason this place has been around for so many years. And as we pulled out it was nice to see the old sign from the space next door to remind us of that. Visit Guido’s…you’ll be glad you did!

I absolutely HATE that they do not take credit or debit. Makes me wonder what they are doing with all that cash… Regardless! The pizza is delicious and the only food item I have had from this establishment. But on the bright side, I don’t feel like I need to eat anything else because the pizza is so bomb. For real, let me reiterate that: PIZZA IS BOMB. They even have fresh delicious garlic as a topping choice. Yummm.

Being that I am not from the area, friend suggested it was good. First their mini pink menu never emotion cash only. Arriving there I noticed a counter sign no credit/​debit cards. That already unconvinced me big time. Never mention on the phone. So I borrowed cash took the pizza and did not like the taste at all. Toppings undercooked, sauce to sweet. End crust was good except the rest. No way is this pizza is the best. I would never go back.

The generous portions of delicious food that Guidos serves should be criminal. For $ 20, you can get Chicken Parmesan… three giant cutlets, a mound of homemade pasta and a nicely sized salad.
I couldn’t eat even half of it. But I do have lunch (and even dinner!) for tomorrow.
Not a lot of seats in the restaurant, although they are moving to a new location right next door to the original very soon.
One minor downside is they don’t take credit or debit cards, so stop at the ATM beforehand.

Every Chesterland-​er knows that Guido’s is the best pizza/​pasta joint around town. I’ve never ever been disappointed at Guido’s. Their pizzas are cooked to perfection, subs are outta this world, and the pasta? My mouth is watering just thinking of their delicious angel hair pasta topped with creamy marinara.
Don’t forget to order a side salad with their homemade dressing. It’s just so freaking good people!

There aren’t many of these true family owned pizza /​Italian restaurants left. This is the real deal it’s located in a tiny strip mall at the main intersection in Chesterland from the outside it doesn’t look like much but once you enter you can smell the authentic aromas coming from the kitchen and if you are lucky enough to find a seat you are in for a real treat I have eaten in and ordered take out many times and have never been disappointed, being a regular at one point when I lived in the area I was always called by name and usually got a little special treatment it’s the family way.
If you order paste you must order the home made paste for a small up charge this will ensure you get the true authentic experience you crave the pizzas are still put together and baked in the old old square pizza pans that I’m sure have been used from the beginning of time this makes a differences believe me. The staff is always friendly and attentive and it’s so nice to hear the family’s interaction while working in the kitchen they work very hard to do things right and the same way everyday they never have an off day when the food is less than any other time it’s called pride and you can trust everything they serve is consistent. I highly recommend you treat yourself and give them a try.
