Gino’s Pizza

Elderly, well-​suited manager has blinding pearly whites. I could barely focus on my dinner. (Disclaimer: this is neither a compliment or insult. Sheer fact from observation).

I wish I had read the reviews before going here. From out of town and looking for a quick bite. Ordered a veggie canzone. There was no sauce and veggies were still raw. Very disappointing.

Haven’t seen their marketing materials in our lobby or on our mailboxes in more than a year. I don’t know if Unilocaling made the difference or not, but it’s worth mentioning that things have changed and I haven’t had to shuffle through hundreds of pieces of litter from them for quite some time. Thanks.

Sorry, but this is one of the worst pizzas I have ever had. My first impression was the giant can of generic sauce they were ladling on to the pie. Why wouldn’t you put your sauce in a tub just to give someone the thought it might be homemade.
The crust was doughy and flavorless. I requested pepperoni and onions on half… The onions made it about ¾ and was just a white sliced and dropped on the pizza. Whole slices…
Their breadsticks are just a weak attempt at a calzone. We had ordered salads, one Caesar and one garden. Very generic dressings, but the lettuce was crisp.
Overall a bland, tasteless experience.
We would to visit again, nor could I recommend it.

The place looks kinda bad from the outside (or inside, for that matter), but the pizza is better than you would expect.

I’m here almost three times a week for a quick lunch.
It’s your standard pizza joint. A slice of cheese is around $ 3 and there’s a $ 10 min on credit cards. The pizza tastes good but not amazing. It’s a chilled and clean place to relax at and eat. If you buy the ready made pizza, you gotta tell them to re-​heat it or they’ll just serve it to you at room temperature.

I guess some people like bad stuff, just like some like the pain of a tattoo, or the fist of an abusive boyfriend to your face. I would just call them the «other» people.
I very seldom have mid range reviews because they’re the one that don’t really stay in your memory. This sucky place sure did though!
I used
, to order from here, and I worked from home. The next day, I had two of my guys missing and the other 4 that were left hated me!
When I asked why, they told me it was the food from Gino’s. One complained about dry flavorless crust. Another complained about 16oz worth of grease that made him run for the bathroom asap, another complained about some creepy mystery meat in the lasagna, another two weren’t there to elaborate more than «i have the shits today, I’m not coming in». But they ALL complained about rubbery terribly flavorless cheese and COLD FOOD, not matter what they ordered it was all cold.
Now the cold food could have easily been the driver’s fault, and our order was delayed by 40 minutes, which is most likely why our food was cold. I never inquired about it, after I got a push notification that my food would arrive late I just settled for that. After reading the other reviews, I wouldn’t put it past Gino’s to be at fault for that one.
ewwwww, this place has been taken off my list for lunch ordering.
Gino’s get your act together! read your reviews and do something about it!

Turns out … Show up on a Tuesday night and wait for an hour. Not sure if we showed up during nap time but holy crap this is awful.

Well all I could since is this place isn’t really that bad but at the same time also not that great. It’s pretty chill to come through here after going out and getting hella drunk though. I mean there open pretty late but their prices for slice are pretty wack. It was about $ 3-​$ 4 for a slice. The slices weren’t like super big or anything special about them so I thought the price was a bit much. So I would only reccomend this place if your really in desperate need for food to sober up and have to other options avaialable. So yeah I guess I can give it 2 stars for going there when I was drunk.

Service was bad. We ordered a $ 4.25 garlic bread and it turned out to be a mini, thin crusted cheese pizza. Then we got a medium, 14″ combo pizza that was only alright. The total came out to be $ 30 with an Orangina also. Not worth it with the service. Next!

That one last extra star is because I LOVE THEIR ANGEL HAIR WITH CREAMY TOMATO SAUCE. Me and her… we go way back.
There was a time when I was living in the dorms, feeling super shitty, and just wanna gorge and murder every kinds of carbs available in San Francisco… and oh… my… god… the angel hair with creamy tomato sauce is JUST PERFECT! they come in HUGE portion, TONS of sauce, and I just go ga-​ga for angel hair.
Otherwise…
Eggplant Parmigiana = shit
Chicken Wings = shit
Caesar Salad = even shittier.

decided to give this place a try because i wanted a calzone delivered, and it’s only 10 blocks from my apartment. long story short, i had to call the place ONE HOUR after placing my order to find out what had happened. turns out that the guy answering the phone IS THE DELIVERY GUY! HE TELLS ME THIS! he also tells me that they had just started my order 20 minutes ago (for you math whizzes, that’s 40 MINUTES AFTER I ORDERED!).
it doesn’t end there. I ordered a LARGE calzone. I consider myself a person who can eat more than the average person, but c’mon… i ate ALL BUT ONE SLICE in one sitting! that’s a large? the best part is that it was lukewarm by the time it traveled 10 blocks to my apartment.
if i could give less than one star i would. don’t order, don’t go to, don’t patron gino’s.

I looked for local delivery spots on Grub Hub. Gino’s came up. The menu looked tasty enough, and I was too lazy to leave the apartment I was in at the time. I called them up and proceeded to order. The person on the phone did not have even a small command of the English language, so that made ordering a little difficult, but I wanted lasagna and nothing was going to stop me.
After placing my order I started reading them off my credit card, I noticed that the expiration month was august of 09, being august of 09, I thought it may not work, so I asked the lady on the phone to run it while I was still on the line and if it didn’t work I would give her another card. She didn’t really understand my request, and told her she would have to ask her manager if she could run the card now, and put me on hold. When she returned she told me the card worked, but that they could not deliver to me as I was too far away. I was shocked as I gave her my address at the beginning of the order and she was telling me now, AFTER I had attempted to pay and wasted 5 minutes of being lazy on the couch to talk to her. I told her to have their listing on Grub hub fixed to reflect their true delivery area. She asked me what grub hub was and then said ok before I could respond.
This was obviously the kind of person who should be answering the phone at any business. EPIC FAIL!!! Not to worry I got my lasagna from another place, and it was yummy. BOOOOOOOOOO Gino’s

An OK slice of pizza at an OK $ 3 price. Nothing special, it had been sitting in the warmer for a while.
The service is what prompts the Unilocal,and the deduction of one star. Or shall I say lack of service. The guy working the counter didn’t say a word to me the whole time.
It was awkward. Really awkward.

I’m surprised to see bad reviews of this place. We were loyal Pizza Orgasmica girls for a long time, but ended up trying Gino’s after they left a coupon thingee on our door. Pizza was fantastic, and reasonably priced. The next time we ordered, I wasn’t home and the broad fell asleep before they could get to the house, so the poor guy was out there ringing the bell and calling for a half hour before he gave up. We called the next day and apologized, and while they probably hate us they were super cool about it.
Great pizza, cool people.

Basically tried this place out of force. It was Thanksgiving, and apparently I didn’t remember to restock enough food for two the day before… so when hunger struck the bf he HAD to have pizza. After about an hr of driving around we went here. Pizza was ok. Service decent. Eh… nothing special

Very short, but very sweet.
Actually some of the better pizza in the city. However, only the pizza itself is good. I wouldn’t get any of the other items on the menu however.
They are about the only thing in the Wharf open until midnight.

If you wake up in the early afternoon and want/​need a pizza… Gino’s is about the only place that will deliver at 11:00am. There is by no means any acceptable excuse for ordering pizza from here after 4:00pm.
The pizza isn’t great… but at 11:00am and at $ 10* for a large… you really can’t complain!
*
has a %25 off special so it comes to $ 10 after the discount when you order online.

doing one of my touristy day’s in the city, had too much sweetness at ghiradelli square with my free cup of sundae, and my bf was craving something salty. Since gino’s was the closest pizza joint to our parking spot, we decided to grab a quick bite,
We shared a slice of cheese pizza for $ 2.50.
its your new york style type pizza, all nice and thin, but then it has a thick crust at the end.
i thought the pizza was alright, but it got way worse reviews than i thought once i saw it on Unilocal.I was a little surprised. a lot of 1 star reviews. leaving there i thought it merited around 3, but now that i think about it more and more, maybe its a 2. i usually like to use a 3 to indicate that i would go there again, but i doubt i’ll be back, unless it was out of convenience again.
its one of those places where you’ve had better, but still had worse.
it was thin crust of the most part, but then at the ends of the crust, way too thick, and yes, a little bland and dry. i guess now that you mention it, they could have put a little more sauce and cheese on it, it would have made it a little better. but the pizza was thin with its own unique crunch when you bite.
the pizza wasn’t THAT bad, since we ate it there, the guy just took the slice, reheated it in the oven, but i def had better. would i come back? probably not. the cheese didn’t even stretch. i have to have my ny style pizza cheese stretch!!!
DEFINITELY NOT ARINELL’S NY STYLE PIZZA.

We have pizza every Friday in the office and decided to give Gino’s a whirl. I’ve never had it before so naturally I decided to read some Unilocal reviews. I was scared to see the one star postings. However, the pizza was already ordered and I decided to give it a chance and try it at least once. Maybe my expectations would be lowered and it wouldn’t be so bad.
HUGE mistake. Gino’s pizza is terrible. It’s probably the worst pizza I have ever had and pizza is almost always good. While it wasn’t inedible, it just wasn’t worth eating. What was wrong with it? The crust was bad. Super dry and very bland. There was barely any sauce or cheese and it had the skimpiest amount of toppings found anywhere. As much as people knock Domino’s and Pizza Hut, those chains kick the sh*t out of Gino’s.
The two pizzas I tried were the veggie and Greek. Usually I have to pick off the green peppers, but in this case, Gino’s uses so few toppings that I easily had my pick of 2 – 3 slices where there were no green peppers at all. The Greek was a bit better, but even with sun dried tomatoes on it, the overall taste was, well… none. Bland, bland, bland.
I just had another bite because I’m hungry — geezus, this is really sucky pizza. It’s sad when the best part of my lunch is the can of Fresca I’m drinking. Now I will be disgruntled the rest of the day.
