George's Pizza - Auburn

A friend and I stopped by for a while to get some supper. We had the steak and cheese sandwiches and they were very good. It was a pleasant surprise to find a great sandwich that didn't take a lot of extras to fill it up. It was wonderful.

This place has always been a staple in the local community, until now. Things have changed. My family and I purchased dinner takeout and when I picked up the food, the blank stares of the pink haired employee behind the counter made me wary. The food was awful. My mother's chicken parm was tiny and had just a coating of sauce. My loaded steak was supposed to have mayo and ketchup and had neither and they missed a large order of fries but were sure to charge us for it. I will never return. Sooooooo disappointed.

I'm from N.Y., so my opinion on pizza is clearly skewed...but I will say that the cheese/steak heros are pretty good, and the girls at the counter are wonderful. Friendly neighborhood place, that's been a Friday staple in Auburn for years.

After reading the reviews I expected more. Expensive pizza to begin with, cheap dough, cheap cheese, cheap sauce. I can get the same pizza at Amato's for half the price. The problem I think mainly is the dough it's so light and fluffy it's like there's nothing there. Fries were nothing to brag about either, crinkle cut frozen from the bag, not fresh.

I just had my first experience at George's, and it was amazing! The crust is perfection—soft on the inside and delightfully crispy on the outside. The sauce has a lovely hint of garlic, there's plenty of cheese, and they were very generous with the single topping we chose. A quick note: their parking lot connects to the new Target, making it easy to access from the busy road.
