I have heard about Caruso's Pizza numerous times, and having grown up a pizza fan, I had to try it myself. As I entered, I was greeted with, ""No, not in that door, go around to the other side."" Ok, my fault, I guess I missed a sign. When I was reading the menu, I got a ""You gonna order?"" Ok, strike two for me...except, there wasn't anyone else waiting to order? Huh. I asked if they served pinapple on the pizza. I got a ""No pinapples on a pizza."" So, I ordered simple - large cheese.\r
\r
While waiting, a family with three boys came in. They were seated and told by a man to make sure they don't ""run around."" \r
\r
Well, the pizza came. And, it was pizza. Cheese, crust, yada-yada. Nothing unique enough to be worth being yelled at and to witness another patron being yelled at. (Oh, I forgot, two other cusotmers came in the ""worng"" door. Maybe a sign would help?)\r

If you'd like the ""Soup N*zi"" experience and pizza that is a step above most chain pan pizza types, but not better than Papa Gino's down the street - enjoy Caruso's. Otherwise, drive on by...it's not all that's it cracked up to be. The other reviews suggest some BIG TIME homer-ism and some childhhod fondness that has nothing to do with the actual quality.
Pros: They have pizza
Cons: They have horrible customer service
