Ciao’s Pizza & Pasta

Jerk cook was playing drums with spatulas and SCREAMING out spoilers to the new Star Wars movie that I had not seen yet. I wish I could spit in his face.

Yummy thin-​crusted pizza. Ciao’s makes the only pizza that my entire family likes to eat. No delivery though.

I had to knock this down a star from my initial review only because of price. I recently went there, got a medium pizza and a fountain soda…12 bucks. Ouch. I like the food, but I think I can get better value elsewhere.

Pizza was good, thin crispy crust, but I think they put too much seasoning in their sauce and could use a little more cheese. The guy at the counter was very friendly. Tables were clean. Good for a quick bite to eat if you’re doing some shopping in the area.

The pizza is good and the staff is friendly. Not a fancy interior, but it was comfortable. FYI, this isn’t the same Ciao’s that was featured in Zagat’s 50 pizzas from 50 states.

Overall, the pizza was good. The crust is thin and has a nice crunch when you bite into it. I would’ve given them 4 stars if they had fresh mushrooms vs. the canned ones. The décor is dated and nothing fancy, but a good place to pick up a slice on the fly.

Simply Ciao has the best pizza I’ve had in Delaware. The crust is thin, light and tasty, great sauce and the cheese is excellent. In fact it’s one of the few pizza places in DE that I will order extra cheese.
You may ask if the pizza is so great why only 4 out of 5 stars. Well the service is not nearly as good as the pizza. The employees display poor customer service skills, in fact they seem to feel like they are doing you a favor by taking your order. They can be very annoying and there are times I will order from somewhere else just to avoid the hassle.
All in all if you want great pizza Ciao is the place to go, but if customer service is very high on your list you may want to look elsewhere.

Best pizza I have ever had — I have been going here regularly for 20 years and it still rules!
