Gino’s NY Pizza Itaewon 지노스 피자 이태원

Peer reviewed by my Italian wife 🥰🇮🇹 Great food and excellent service! The chicken Caesar salad had really good fresh herbs. The garlic knots were a perfect balance of crispy and doughy. The margarita pizza was very flavorful and New York style. We will be coming back again next time we visit!

It took me a few minutes to understand the vibe of Gino’s. At first I thought it was an attempt to be an interpretation of a NYC pizza place in Korea. It has its roots in NYC but is its own place with its own vibe, that turns out to be great. The pizza was cooked perfectly, the ingredients authentic. The vibe is mellow and I now understand why they tell you when you enter - you can only stay 1 1/2 hours because it would be easy to stay much longer. A footnote: I ended up staying a couple of hours and there was no pressure to leave.

What can I say! If you are looking for arguably one of the best pizza’s in Seoul then look no further this place absolutely just destroyed me in the best way possible, I am European so I take pizzas very seriously and this New York style pizza place was absolute perfection, anyone rating this place lower than five stars needs there head checked because everything was on point. I had the Wu tang and the wings and I’ll be coming back tomorrow for the same thing. I will be recommending this to all of my clients from now on.

Delicious pizza, some of the best I’ve had in the many trips I’ve made to Korea. Been to Seoul, Busan, Sokcho, Gangneung, Chuncheon, Gwangju, Jeonju, Gyeongju, Incheon, you name it, nobody made a pizza exactly how it’s done in America as Gino’s did. Loved the staff especially, all young dudes and gals who looked happy to be there. Good vibes. This location also has a really nice view of Itaewon. Get there early, it gets popular though. Menu is in Korean or English.

New York style pizza in the middle of Seoul. I thought it was good overall although the dough was slightly too wet from the sauce. You couldn't hold a slice properly without all the toppings falling off. The taste was on point though. Great atmosphere, music a tad loud. Went at 2pm, still have to wait 15min in line. Overall pleasant. Would visit again!

SERIOUSLY! This place is LEGIT~ real NYC slices, first bite and you’ll be transported to Brooklyn or Queens~ Eugene really cares about ingredients and customer experience. I was seriously blown away by this establishment having visited many-a-NYC style restaurant, if you need a quick slice of home, don’t bother with any other spot: This is the place!

Salad and hot wings were very good. We also had Brooklyn's best pizza, but it fell a little short of my expectations. There were all of 4 pieces of sausage and the sauce was a bit bland. The crust was too crispy, not like the NY pizza I know of. It was ok, but not NY style. Maybe I'll try the plain cheese next time.

Not super friendly to Hanbop diners. Price was expensive for a pizza joint! Location and atmosphere were pleasant. It’s online reputation did not meet my expectations unfortunately!
