| About: | The long lines at this lunch-only spot attest to the popularity of the calzones, pizza and other Italian lunch treats served at Galleria Umberto. It is hard to say if this popularity is due more to the delicious food or the unbelievably low prices. The professionals and tourists waiting in line do not really care either way; they know that they are going to get a great meal, perhaps with a glass of wine or beer, for much less than $10. There isn't much in the way of atmosphere here; many people take their orders to go. |

Do not, under any circumstance, eat at Umberto.
The pizza literally made me gag - it has a smell of sweaty feet and is painful to bring to your mouth. I could barely stomach one piece. But the insult to injury is waiting in a line for 40 minutes. If the line is to the door, you can expect to wait that long - seriously. I'm sorry if the employees are nice guys, but for the love of god the service is agonizingly slow. It's inexcusable for any take-out joint with a menu of 6 items (that are all sitting a gruesome pile on the counter ready-to-serve) to have service that painfully slow. And the reward for your wait is terrible pizza. I know it's cheap, but you couldn't pay me to eat there again.
Great People, Great Food: These guys are good people, and they make great sicilian style pizza and italian lunch-time favorites at more than reasonable prices. A great hit that's worth the wait!
