Gangi Gets New Ownership, a Face Lift While Providing Amazing Taste and Value

The Sicilian Pizza at Gangi Pizza in Throop is made from fresh dough, has a unique sauce and cheese blend.

A friend of mine described Gangi Pizza as “The Best Pizza in Throop” since he was a kid!  He also mentioned that Gangi was the only pizza in Throop, but nonetheless the best in town!  With this funny tidbit, I teamed up with Ron from We Talk Shirty and headed to Throop.  The place was very easy to find – basically a blog off the main road with plenty of parking.  I don’t think I’ve ever eaten at Gangi, but I’ve driven by a few times and it appeared that the exterior had undergone a facelift as it looked new and fresh.

1/2 Double Crust Hot Wing Pizza from Gangi Pizza in Throop is equal parts delicious, outrageous, and filling.  Their wing sauce is creamy and among the very best in the area.

When I entered, I found the kitchen to my left and as always looked around.  It looked sparkling clean and open for observation.  We were greeted by the very friendly and knowledgeable manager who told us a little bit about the operation.  We later had the pleasure of meeting the owner who gave us a little more background.  Gangi has been open since 1992 and the new owners took over in mid/late 2019.  We walked into the dining room in the back and found it to be bright, clean, and newly renovated.  It was very inviting and welcoming – a great place to create a makeshift pizza set to film a video (see below)!


We had the opportunity to try three different pizzas on this occasion including the Double Crust Buffalo, Sicilian, and Neopolitan pizzas.  We learned that they are known for their Double Crust Buffalo pizza and once you view the video you’ll know why!

The Neopolitan pizza at Gangi Pizza features a solid and tender crust, a robust sauce, and a flavorful cheese blend.

More details to come (check back soon), but please check out the video for an in-depth look at the three pizzas and also see the ratings below:
