Gino's Pizza SLO

Gino's catered a huge school event for us, and the compliments never stopped from the families eating the perfect Italian family meal. It all started with amazing service from Bill in helping me plan this meal for approx. 200 people. He was more like a friend than someone who worked at a restaurant. Never once did Bill try to sell me on more than I needed or upsell me on something that wasn't appropriate for our event. He was like the best friend who helps you through a panic attack and makes everything better. I cannot say enough about how wonderful and thoughtful Bill and his team were. The chef, Mario, and his team had all the food looking beautiful, uniform, and delicious! Having worked in restaurants, I know there's always something that gets missed, even if really small. But not with Gino's, everything was perfect, and I think we actually may have gotten a little more than we ordered. There was not one issue with our countless trays of food. When you look at value, quality, customer service, and friendliness, I can't imagine a better catering experience in the area. Thank you Bill, Mario, and team!! I'm a lifer Gino's fan.

Fantastic pizza! BBQ chicken and cheese pizza was spectacular! Employees were super friendly and quick to get our to go pizza out for us!

I broke from the norm and ordered the Spaghetti and Sausage Dinner which came with a soft drink, salad, and garlic bread for $22.95. I forgot to take pics before I inhaled it. DELICIOUS! Also, the service from Blanca was amazing!

Tried Gino's pizza for the first time today! We got the large BBQ chicken pizza with ranch on the side and some sodas. They had a lot of options, and I'm excited to try more in the future! The Pizza was good and had plenty of chicken. The BBQ sauce was perfect! Not too sweet. The atmosphere was very clean and had a beautiful view of the mountains! I also appreciated the staff's friendliness.

When they give you a whole bottle of ranch when you ask for some you know the place is gonna hit good! Delicious 🤤

I love Gino's! I know I probably shouldn't be eating pizza as much as I should, but this is my go-to place. You can customize your crust, they pile up the toppings, and my orders have always been perfect. This last delivery, I was given a special treat (with a nice hand-felt note and drawing! ) and some extras. Just a notice.. I might not be able to order as often with you guys in the future, but this will always be my favorite place to get pizza and I tell everyone to go here! Thank you for everything!

Everytime we stay in slo and we always grab ginos!! My kids always ask when where there. Walking distance from multiple hotels ..there pizza is top tier and there pastrami sub is the bomb!!! We always book a room near by

Great service every time. The food is good, do yourself a favor and get the thick crust & size down on your pizza. My BF can finish off anyone else's large pizza, but he's full after two slices of that.

The servers were extremely friendly and helpful. The pizza and salad were delicious. Also the ambiance was great. We would definitely be eating here again soon.

Great pizza. Homemade crust and marinara. Toppings very fresh. Very friendly customer service and reasonable prices for great food.

When you're having a rough start to your day cuz your flight has been delayed..obviously the answer to your problem is pizza!! We got over to Gino's and Mario was basically the embodiment of the perfect 5 star Uber driver. He efficiently got our orders down, brought it out, and just made us happy with delicious food lol My friends all had a slice of pizza that were basically the size of a personal pizza anywhere else, a couple of salads, and I had an order of 3 spicy pepperoni pizza bites!! So good. Wish I could stop by more often lol

This was a pleasant surprise! Unassuming exterior but spacious and clean interior. Plenty of space, nice large tables - perfect for fitting pizza and apps without overlapping each other. Between our family of 4, we polished off a large pizza, 10 BBQ wings, with sodas and beer. We were stuffed (guess I'll start my new year diet plan tomorrow instead lol). We enjoyed both orders - the chicken was meaty and tender and the Meat Lovers Pizza was better than expected. The meat was good quality, nicely distributed and a good ratio of meat/sauce/cheese/crust. I'm pretty picky about pizza just because it has to be worth the calories. This definitely passes muster.

Nice local spot, has the college vibe! Look at the solo cup lantern! Pizza is good but not super outstanding in my mind. Loved the crust, however, for being fold over and not super doughy. Fast service, in and out under an hour Loved the back area seating by bathrooms, easy to miss but nice and quiet. Reasonable prices!!! 5 of us had salad, doz chicken wings and pizza for $50 . That's reasonable these days!! We had 1/2 bbq Chkn and Maui Waui (Hawaiian pizza) but I'll say I'm good for another 5 years before I order Hawaiian again

This pizza is sooooo good. Bbq chicken but we have tried others and loved them all. A little pricey but not anymore than any other local place.

My husband and I tried Gino's because we read some good reviews about the food. I don't know if it was a bad night or what but the food was tasteless. My husband had the fettuccine Alfredo and I had the bbq chicken pizza... I've had better frozen pizza, and my husband kept sprinkling on the parm because it was so bland. The young lady was nice that waited on us but that's the only good thing I can say.

I was pleasantly surprised by this pizza place. I've always driven by it and never thought to try it. The inside has a big space and seems much newer than I thought it was. They even have an arcade room. They have all the classic pizzas, and the margherita one was really good. I don't typically like whole tomatoes, but they were cooked so perfectly, it just added more flavor to the pizza. They are very generous with the toppings, and it is super convenient to cal poly campus! Staff was extremely helpful and even asked if we wanted ranch when he brought us our pizza.

I stopped by to grab a quick dinner while visiting the area. It was busy and there was quite a line to order, but it moved quickly. The Gino's Special pizza and Cinnamon Butter Bites were delicious. I will definitely visit again.

Honestly we were debating on a few spots but I'm glad we chose Gino's the place was clean and spacious. Family oriented with video games and tv's. The young man at the counter greeted us once arriving. We had mentioned it was our first time and he answers our questions . We ordered a meat lovers pizza and some wings and lasagna . It was all delicious from beginning to the end. I will definitely be back and I do recommend this place for the whole family.

Ok let me say this is the first time being in this town!! My oldest granddaughter is a cheerleader for cal poly so she recommended this place!!! The ambiance is nice like a good pizza place should be!! Service was fast and they always had people helping with cleaning up as we finished our plates. We had a pepperoni pizza and an all meat pizza and spicy and non spicy wings!!! Omg!! It was very tasty!! It reminded me of Dante's back home!!! We will definitely be back to get them that 5th star!! If you are near this place in multiple locations be sure to check it out!! You won't be disappointed!!! I will put up a couple of pics I took!!

Not a great experience. We heard it was good so my family member wanted to bring us here. We planned to come at 7:45 pm. The website said that they close at 9 PM but when we got there, they said that they were closing and they could not accommodate us over an hour early.. my sister-in-law is gluten-free and so it was very disappointing that she couldn't enjoy the salad we came here for. We came with decent size group so too bad that they didn't want the business. We also ended up having to spend $20 in the arcade bc the kids came in before we were told that they were closing early, despite having at least 40 people in the restaurant. We were told we couldn't sit down and could not order salad. When we left, a large biker group came in and they were helping them. Bad business plan when it seems that they just wanted to go home. They lost out on recurring business.

I ate here a few years ago with my friend, when we ran the City to the Sea Half Marathon. I ate here again this summer, when I was visiting all of the 21 CA Missions. The pizza and salads are good. Service is pretty quick, and the space inside is pretty big. Tables for smaller parties and larger parties. This would be a great place for a kids sports dinner. The water from the soda fountain tasted weird. But, other than that, no complaints!

Fanstastic pizza! Got a medium half Hawaiian and half pepperoni and mushroom. Yummy crust, flavorful sauce, fresh cheese and toppings. Oh, and great service. Will def come again next time we're in SLO!

Absolutely trash. The workers were rude and kept staring at girls. The pizza, we ordered two pizzas both were raw there was sp much uncooked dough. The prices, the prices were outragous it was 100$ for two pizzas and nothing else DONT GO HERE

Came back to pick up a pizza and I forgot to order it thin crust. The pizza had too much bread and it didn't taste the same as when I first tried it but that's my fault. The pizza and price was good but I'll have to come back and do it over again. Thin crust is the way to go here. Marianne and Blanca were very welcoming and made sure I didn't forget ranch dressing.

We ordered Individual meat lover's pizza and a 1/2 meatball sandwich. Thinking small but could not finish either one and took it all back to the hotel. The meat lover's was just that, lots of meats, tasty pie crust, great seasoning. The meatball sandwich was better than expected, smothered in mozzarella, perfect torpedo bread. The meatballs were made with finely ground beef with a good selection of spices. Service was ordering at the counter and food was brought to your table. Staff was friendly and helpful, and the restaurant was very clean and presentable.

The best pizza I've had so far in SLO. I didn't eat it at the restaurant , I got it to go. Salad also really good. Great prices and great food thank you

Delicious pizza. Ordered for takeout and our order was ready when we arrived. Loved the crust of the pizza. Will definitely be back.

I just visited w my husband. He had the meatball sandwhich! Beautiful and plenty of cheese, huge fresh sandwhich bread. I tried the thick crust individual pizza. Yum!! I LOVE white onions. They not only had them, the chef was extremely generous! So sweet, crunchy and delicious. The crust was really really good and the sauce. Great food and great prices

We just found this place driving by a few years ago. Friendly staff, good fair prices and tasty food. Great spaghetti and meatballs, Pizza and chicken parmesan. Fresh bread and salad.

Stopped by to pick up pizza on our way back from an evening out. The restaurant has a traditional feel, with plenty of tables and booths. There's a covered patio area with an air hockey table and a few other games, great to occupy the kids. We ordered a pepperoni, mushroom pizza that was spectacular, perfectly cooked buttery crust, not too thick and so incredibly flavorful. There's a nice variety of beers on tap and wine selection. If you're looking for good pizza, try them out, you will not be disappointed.

Gino's/Ron, WTH. First, 3 times ago I found out Manager Brad (the BEST customer service I've received on the central coast) was canned. Then last visit, 2 weeks ago, the pizza was thicker dough than normal and the bathroom was dirtier than I'd ever seen it before. Then this time, the regular guy upfront and regular guy making the pizza's weren't there. The pizza went right back to when they first opened the SLO restaurant a decade ago, way too much dough (bread pizza) that it felt like one continuous crust. No more snap on the bottom, but replaced by floppy/rubber. The top part of the dough was undercooked (due to thickness). There was less sauce than how it's been, plus the sauce that was there was watered down, with blasts of oregano. The cheese was less also. It seemed as a shell of what it was, just a few months ago. The water cups were slightly larger than a Dixie bathroom cup, old plastic clear ones??? My wife said the bathroom was filthy, with no toilet seat covers. The fans weren't on and no doors were open. Only half of the lights were on. Felt like we were in a Finnish Sauna, eating bread. *Talk about a 180. Let's see....everything was great and now, a guy sits at a computer next to the registers, at a booth and tells you, "Tell me when you're ready." Brads inverse in every way (operations, service, food quality). Welp, stick a fork in this one*

The Pizza was really good and the Lasagna was a treat. Staff were friendly and there are games for young kids! Close to local Hotels/ convenient. Glad we stopped in. Thanks!!

If you're in SLO and looking for something to eat. Gino's is a good all around place. The ambience is warm and overall friendly. I think prices are similar to whether you go. Although I came during closing, my food came out quickly and hot. I got fettuccine Alfredo with chicken which tasted like just that I think you really can go wrong with Alfredo. What can I say overall good pasta place.

Excellent pizza. Highly recommend! I was staying in a hotel down the street and not in the mood to go out. I ordered a Gino's Special pizza and a salad with Italian dressing. The pizza was fantastic. The crust was good, and they certainly don't skimp on the toppings. A medium is more than enough for two people. The salad was nice and fresh and crisp. Loved their house made Italian dressing. I ordered a small salad and that's also plenty for two people as a side. Wish I could make this place my regular pizza place, but unfortunately, I'm just passing through!

Possibly the closet thing you can get to original New York pizza. Delicious food and even the calazon I ended up eating all myself was delicious because it has so much fresh tasting ingredients the flavor is amazing. It super hot and comes out steamy it really warms you up on a cold night. Seating inside is comfortable and have tvs always playing the game. I love this place and the cooks have a special spot in my heart. The cashier are nice and considerate for your needs.

Lots of great options for food. Pizza, sandwiches pasta. We had pizza and appetizers. The garlic cheese bread was literally a piece of mozzarella on a French bread.. it was meh. The Mozzarella sticks were good and the Meat lovers pizza was good. Nice crust on it, little thick.

This place was walking distance from the hotel we stayed at and we wanted to order in so we could eat by the poolside. We ordered a vegetarian pizza and mozzarella sticks and it did not disappoint! Honestly one of the more delicious pizzas I've had. Also, their house ranch is 5 stars. Service was great, not too sure about the ambiance because we got take out but everything looked fine.

This place is phenomenal. Superb pizza and wonderful customer service. My food was piping hot and delicious. We ordered a medium pepperoni Pizza and meatball sub. I can't wait to visit again!

Okay, you guys might be getting sick of me posting reviews for Gino's Pizza, first time EVER have I ordered pizza 3 times in less than 2 weeks...all from Gino's! I had out of town company this week and we ordered pizza and wings, both are AWESOME! No need to look elsewhere, Gino's is my #1 choice!

First time trying Gino's. It was mediocre at best. Salad was good. The cheesy bread and pepperoni rolls were not. The pizza was meh. Arcade definitely needs a major overhaul. Carpet smells like it's been there since 1920. Musty, damp and old. Games are all lame and hold $1 store toys. Three of them just ate our quarters and the tallish guy behind the counter with zero personality just shrugged his shoulders at my kids when they told him. A plus was they had air hockey. But even the air hockey game barely moved!

We like pizza! One of our favorites is Barbecue Chicken pizza - we order it often. But never have we had it with so much GOOD chicken and barbecue sauce, and baked so perfectly as at Geno's. This was hands-down the best pizza we have ever had anywhere!! Ed and Margaret Mohr

Not a good experience! My "large" sized pesto chicken sandwich was on bread that was stale, with literally 5 small medallion sized pieces of chicken on the large size order. My "Side Salad" ($8) consisted of a small aluminum container with a portion of bagged lettuce (some of which was actually that reddish slimey color) with just 3 slices of a tomato. No cucumbers/onions/carrots/olives or any other vegetable that is usually included in a "Side Salad". Very disappointing.

Pizza crust just right. We got the all meat pizza. We got the medium size pizza. We could only eat 1/2 of the pizza. The medium for $$ 30.

The people who worked here were super kind and brought us our food and anything we needed outside. The pizza was absolutely delicious. The crust was not too fluffy or doughy, but just cooked right and the stretch-pull on the cheese was chef's kiss. The ranch was by far the best I've ever had. Sitting outside was so chill and quiet, I enjoyed it. I'd definitely come back here.

I loved the pizza and salad. I ordered a sausage and mushroom pizza and Italian salad for pick up. Both were excellent.

My boyfriend and I finished doing a 13 mile run and we were craving carbs so we decided on this pizza place as a much needed reward. It was in a spacious plaza that had ample parking and outdoor patio seating. We ended up ordering the food to-go using their website and got the Gino's Special pizza, chicken wings, and mozzarella sticks. The food was ready by the time we got there to pick it up, but I did have to remind them about the sodas we ordered too. The pizza was not shy of toppings and each slice was satisfying. For the chicken wings, I requested if they could leave the buffalo sauce off and put it on the side since I'm not much of a buffalo flavor fan but they weren't able to do that. Fortunately the buffalo flavor wasn't overpowering and I was still able to enjoy the wings. Mozzarella sticks are a comfort food and these ones did not disappoint. I was pleasantly surprised with the amount they gave. Overall, the food was great and I will keep this place bookmarked for next time I'm in the area!

The pizza was great, fresh, tasty and the dough was crisp. The wings were huge and very good. Shout out to Blanca at the counter she was friendly, accommodating and provided great service. Next time I'm in SLO I'm stopping by Gino's for another .

Amazin food Great ambience Brad is an excellent person helped us decide the right combination for pizza and and pasta. Great service

Great food, great atmosphere. Everybody here has a fantastic personality. Thank you for your hospitality.

We waited too long to eat so we were beyond hungry when the pizza was ready. It was worth it though, it tasted amazing.

We go to Gino's at least a couple times a month. We use to go to their other location in Pismo on a consistent basis. We were glad to see one opened closer to where we live now. The service is amazing always. The location is perfect. There is plenty of parking which is hard to find in Slo. We feel like family when we are there. The food is always delicious. We went in recently and there was a bus full of people in line. We were about to leave but decided to stay. We are so glad we did. We didn't have to wait long for our food. Gino's is one of the best in town. It's very hard to beat. I love the regular dough. It's the perfect combination of thin but fluffy. Also, they are open at 11 and you don't have to wait until 4 or after to get great pizza.

Everything about this place makes you feel like you are at home! This is the best in house made pizza and Italian food by far than any pizza place Ive been. Thank you for your hospitality and greatness!

Unlike the majority of pizza places, Gino's actually doesn't skimp on toppings, love that!!!! Pizza tastes fresh, lots of topping and good crust. The pizza is better in the restaurant than when delivered just because it doesn't get soggy in the box. Only change I would make is that they add more to their salad choices, the green salad is pretty plain. We love this place, thank you for not being cheap with ingredients!!

Well, it seemed promising; we were visiting CalPoly because our daughter is looking at colleges. The server was nice, and the prices made it seem like it at least wasn't cheap. Boy was I wrong! We didn't get pizza, so may that's the only good thing on the menu. I got the pesto fettuccini, which had a broken sauce (over cooked basil swimming in a pool of low quality olive oil -- no Parmesan). The noodles were not great and way over cooked (mushy AF!). My daughter got the lasagna -- but it was remnants of poor quality lasagna (no layers, just a pile of pasta chunks) drowned in a crappy meat sauce. My son got the chicken wings -- they had no flavor whatsoever. Enough said. My wife got the antipasti salad, not that great but also not as offensively bad as everything else. Even the garlic bread was dry, stale, and tasted like styrofoam. Barely a hint of garlic. We paid more than $100 and should have gone to Taco Bell instead.

Gino's makes the BEST pizza! Great crust, great sauce, great cheese, and fresh, delicious, and generous toppings. They also have a selection of salads, pastas, appetizers and other yummy items (which helps if you have picky eaters dining with you!). Today, we came after a baseball game...had a Gino's special (sooooo good!), a half cheese/half pepperoni for the kids, cheese sticks and a Caesar salad, and all of it was amazing--especially the salad and the Gino's special pizza (so many fresh toppings!). The kids had fountain drinks while the husband and I had a beer on tap. The atmosphere is family friendly; there is an arcade on the side of the restaurant, with a wall between dining and the arcade so you can dine in peace while the kids have a great time while being close by and safe. The owner is warm, friendly and makes sure everyone is happy. He kindly checked on us and asked if we'd like some ranch dressing (why not add more fat to our bodies?!). After we said yes, he brought us a full container of homemade, delicious ranch and then personally thanksd us for choosing to dine at Gino's. We can't wait to make Gino's one of our regular stops.

Not sure if Gino's has changed owners, but the last two times we were very disappointed. We were there Sunday for dinner. Got there at 6:30pm ordered two plates of pasta. The first plate arrived 40 minutes later and the second plate arrived 10 minutes after the first plate. Also portions have gotten a lot smaller. We both ordered the Caesar salad that comes with the meal and they were both different sizes. The lady and the guy at the register kept speaking Spanish to each other while people were at the counter to place their orders. People kept coming up to the counter to check on their orders because they were taking forever. A man brought back a pizza that DoorDash delivered because it was the wrong order. Also a lady called complaining about her order. The previous time the order was to go and it also took over 45 minutes. No one gave us an update, they just seemed to ignore us. They were not even busy there was only one more couple in the restaurant. When the order finally came they didn't even say anything about how long it took they just say "here" and handed the bag with food. We've been coming here once a month for the last year and a half, maybe it's time to find another dinner spot.

Meat lovers pizza and chicken piccata dinner were fantastic ! The dinner came with a soda a salad and garlic bread. Great value and delicious. Pizza sauce ,dough , toppings and cheese were all very good Will come here again if in town. The Mountain View are also a bonus. If you have kids or you like arcades they have air hockey and many other games to play The staff were all super friendly, professional and helpful. Definitely recommend Gino's!
