Gus's Puts Pizza Guarantee to Test

When , the owners put a banner across the front of the store: "Best Pizza Within 50 Miles Guaranteed or It's FREE!"

Now they have a chance to prove it.

“It’s about believing in what we sell," general manager Dave Anderson said, "not to be cocky.”

Pizza ovens were installed in the renovated store Thursday. Fresh-basked pies will replace the reheated shipments from Edgewood.

In a menu mailed throughout Bel Air during the weekend, the downtown convenience store dubbed the new features as part of a "Grand Opening!"

“We’re finally what we’re going to be," Anderson said. "So far, everything’s OK. We’ve still got some kinks to work out.”

The store will deliver within four miles for orders of $10 or more, plus a $1.99 charge. Customers can also add convenience store items—ice cream, milk, candy bars and more—to purchases.

Anderson said the crab dip pizza—"Oh my God. It's heavenly!" reads the menu—is the store's specialty. An extra-large (16-inch) version of the specialty pizza is the most expensive ($21.99) while a 10-inch cheese pizza costs $6.99.

Orders may be placed by calling the shop at 443-567-6868 or going online.
