| - I never write reviews. But I read some reviews here that almost scared me away from Gino's. If you love planned communities, big-box stores and chain restaurants, you will probably find something negative to say about this place, no matter what. I think I'm somewhere in the middle and can (at times) be a food snob, especially when it comes to pizza. I'm from the East coast. I can be very critical of food, in general. I don't really like chain anything. Which is why I gave it a shot, regardless of what I read. So, here's my honest opinion. First, the pizza: I ordered, Reg Crust, extra cheese, onions & bell peppers. The crust is truly super thin. (think flatbread). Everything is fresh. There is nothing wrong with the sauce or cheese. It is adequately flavorful. If you are a big sauce lover, get extra. I think it's fine. Next time I will order Thick crust and won't order extra cheese. Gino's is more than generous with their toppings. The little container of hot pepper seeds were actually Hot! Nice switch from the usually tasteless packets most places give you (mouth still burning, yay!) It's not the prettiest pizza you'll ever eat, but who cares? I don't like the way they cut it (in squares). I will also request that they cut it like a pizza, next time. Second, the location: personally, I like the flavor of So Pho, and so do they. No apologies here. I got the feeling that they embraced diversity and are a little "edgy". Yes, they do have old school pinball machines. Cute. Plenty of seating. Clean and comfortable. Service: Outstanding. Super pleasant. Owner on premises. Friendly and helpful people. This is a family business. I love that. All in All, YES, I will go to Gino's again. Next time, thick crust and cut like a pizza. I'm happy.
