I've eaten the pizza at the Guido's in Lakewood many times and it's decent - comparable to Anthony's, Famous Pizza, etc. - still a pretty long shot from actual NY style pizza. The crust can be chewier than I like and the sauce can be inconsistent and very sweet. But for the most part, it's OK. I thought I'd try the Guido's in Golden as we were hosting a nearby party of about 33 people. I called the restaurant and first asked if they had a website (pretty valid question as most pizza joints these days do). I was told that they did not and there's been a bunch of bad stuff on the internet about them and this person continued to ramble on about unfavorable web reviews written by customers. What does this have to do with having or not having a website?! I went ahead and started to set up a large order for pick-up on a Sunday and was told that would be OK but then he changed his mind. They were looking at a busy Saturday and there was a chance his employees would be late coming to work on Sunday and he couldn't guarantee my order! As someone who has worked in the restaurant industry for over 15 years, I do knit-pick about fine details but I have no patience for outright bad service. This is just pizza for god's sake, not a complex dining establishment. I do not plan to visit the Golden Guido's anytime soon unless there's a change in ownership, management, and customer service. Do yourself a favor and visit one of the many NY pizzerias in the metro area where the employees at least pretend to value customers.
Cons: Rude customer service
