Giuseppes Pizzeria Palm Springs

We brought friends from the other end of the valley to Giuseppe’s as we have been there many times before and never been disappointed. Tonight was quite different. Our waitress took our order for a single Diet Pepsi but apparently there was an equipment issue but “service would be restored shortly”. Two more requests before the Pepsi actually arrived although other guests around us received their mixed drinks without delay. Bread was offered but only appeared with a second request. Meals came and the first 3 of 4 came together and were correct although there was some initial uncertainty about one of the dishes being gluten free. My wife left the table to ensure our guests were in receipt of the correct pasta. While our guests received generous portions that they were unable to finish, my meal, the veal Picata was skimpy with three small strips of veal, and a very small portion of pasta. It felt like Shrinkflation had come to Giuseppe’s. The first 3 dishes were piping hot, mine had clearly been sitting waiting for the other 3. The waitress did not return to our table until we were more than half way through our dinners. A tip was left in spite of our experience but we did leave disappointed. 😔

Great pizza. Great GLUTEN-FREE pizza!
