I ate here recently for the first time in over a decade and the food was just as good as I remember it. Their STL style pizza is top notch.

Picked up 5 pizzas and 3 salads for a family event. Everytime I eat their pizza, I love the thin crust spicy chicken, I can't think of a better pizza in town. They are usually busy but always friendly and I always feel welcome. Little known secret possibly, is the cake of the week. It's also quite possibly the best in town.

I first patronized Garbo'sabout 32 years ago, but my life got busy, and the establishment relocated, putting it beyond my box. My wife and I stopped in again the other afternoon after our long absence. We each ordered a small side salad, and we shared a thin crust, spicy chicken pizza. Here's the good and the bad: The decor hasn't changed in 30 years and was dated, worn, and dirty. The high- table chairs were wobbly and rickety. A painful collapse seemed imminent, and relaxing was not a viable option as I remained vigilant preparing for a chair failure. The service was painfully inadequate, with the waitress appearing to be serving double duty in the kitchen and the front of the house. Overall, the restaurant was short staffed, and service was accordingly effected. The salads arrived, and while excessively comprised of chopped iceberg lettuce, the dressing was exceptionally tasty with hints of olive oil, anchovies, and vinegar. The pizza arrived, and while it looked appetizing, the thin crust was disappointing as it was largely soggy instead of crisp and crackery (like the superior Pizza House on Commercial Street). The spicy marinated chicken had a strong taste of vinegar (which overpowered what should have been the complementary flavors of cheese, peppers, and tomato). Room for improvement here for sure. I'm not certain if my tastes have improved, declined, or just changed, but Garbo's failed to hit the same gastronomic oxytocin sites that it did 30 years ago.

Excellent local food joint with great micro brew beer line in bottles and on tap. They have a nice wine list as well. The pizza is fantastic thin crust and can be multiple combinations. They are famous for their small house salad (Huge portion that feeds 2) and for their Pizza. The servers are always super friendly and the food is made to order, not frozen junk. They even treat their customers special on holidays. We got a free flower and chocolate for Valentines day from the server when we paid our check. A+++++ Local Eatery!

Disappointed in the service tonight.Received the wrong pizza crust and was told there was nothing they could do about it :(.
Had never been to Garbos. Lots of people. Overflow went upstairs, and I did not. Had pizza, yummy. Next time will try salad and pasta.

Ordered a Garbo’s Meatball Pizza and an order of toasted ravioli to go and had a great Martini while I waited and watching the Texas/Houston ALCS.i have always loved Gabo’s back when they started on Republic Rd and Scenic and they are now located in Chesterfield Village across the street from Black Sheep Burgers. The Martini was exceptional and I ate the ravioli in my parked car before heading back home to reheat the pizza.The owner is an amazing woman and her daughter helps her with the restaurant since Eric passed away few years ago. If you want an excellent pizza, salads, appetizers etc then this is the place in Springfield. They have remained true to their origins in St. Louis style pizza but also have regular Mozzarella if you’re looking for something more traditional. The staff are friendly and engaging with the customers and they all work their butts off and I can’t recommend any other pizzeria in town unless you want to drive to Reeds Spring Pizza. in both cases they are run by strong business women who care about what they are serving to their customers! EAT LOCAL SPRINGFIELD!and tip your servers!Kid-friendliness: very kid friendly and family orientedWheelchair accessibility: yes they of course have wheelchair accessibility

Zero star. This place puts thin crust to shame. Absolutely the worst pizza I've ever had. How do you screw up pizza THAT badly???? Worst place thus far. Absolutely disgusting. If I wanted a pizza made on a tortilla, I would have made it myself. Y'all suck so badly.
