Pizza Is Passion. This Is Proof.
Gusto Pizzeria was born in Oak Ridge, NC, from one chef's deep-rooted conviction: that authentic Neapolitan pizza deserves to exist anywhere people gather and love good food.
Gusto Pizzeria | Our Story
Oak Ridge, Our Home
Oak Ridge is the kind of town where neighbors know each other by name — and Gusto has become its gathering place. Great food belongs in close-knit communities.
Mario, and a Calling
Chef Mario trained in the rigorous art of Verace Pizza Napoletana, passed down by masters of the craft. For him, cooking isn't a job — it's what he was made to do.
The Oven Does the Talking
Imported Italian flour, naturally risen dough, a wood-fired oven — 90 seconds is all it takes. Every blistered crust is proof this is the real thing.
A Full Italian Table
The same devotion behind every pizza carries through the whole menu — fresh salads, house-made gelato, cannoli filled daily, and a curated Italian wine list.
Oak Ridge Made It Home
Guests find Gusto, tell their friends, and come back the following week. That's exactly the kind of place we set out to build.
