Luigi's and Gino's

Doing a two-fer here because both of these are in the southwest area of Little Rock, and neither seems to be a remarkable place to get pizza. I found both to be a disappointment, though I have heard that Luigi's (8310 Chicot Road) has very good Italian food, so go there for that, but not the pizza. Gino's? It's in a gas station on Geyer Springs, right off of the interstate. Why would we go there for pizza?

Well, my pard Bill tells me he's read glowing reviews of the pizza there. Stuff like, "as good as any" stuck in his mind. After we got our pie, which came in a box even though they have tables there, it became obvious that it's as good as any as long as the only place you've ever been is Grady's.

So, our recommendations are that you try the pasta at Luigi's. It might be good. At Gino's, stick to a tank of gasoline and maybe a Red Bull...
