Can't let this one go by.  It's just too much at variance with my own
experience.

Disclaimer:  I've never been to Gepetto's, but I had a pizza brought from
there once.  It was several years ago, and to this day it remains the BEST
pizza I have ever had in my life.  I've long intended to go there myself,
but living in Herndon makes it difficult to even think about Georgetown
at the times when I'd be able to go.

The only Bertucci's I have experience with is the new one in Herndon.  I
waited eagerly for its grand opening, and was SERIOUSLY disappointed when
the day finally came.  The food frankly sucks, IMO.  Way, way, WAY overpriced
for the so-called quality.  The pizza, in particular, is a major
disappointment, especially considering the preposterous price.  I went back
twice, to make sure I wasn't misjudging them in the unfair context of what
might have been opening-week difficulties.  But I won't be returning.
