If you are and EddienChooch follower, you may have seen him order from this establishment for the tradition called Pizza Crust Friday he started with his beloved pooch Chooch who recently passed. But as you can guess from the name this place probably serves other food items besides pizza. In fact there is a whole other section and entrance to just order and pick up pizza. I knew I was coming to Philly for a Library Conference and was planning to come here, with or without my co-worker. Now, if you want to have a Philly brotherly love I believe you have to go out of the City (like most places which are touristy). This definitely is a local place, that you can tell many local Italian folks make this their regular spot and they definitely if know you are an outsider. I'm from San Francisco with Pier 39/Fisherman's wharf is predominantly Italian and this place reminded me of the local joints in North Beach. However, we found the brotherly/sisterly love that Philly is known here at this place. Our server was really nice and helpful especially when we were deciding what to eat. My colleague is little picky with food, but we made it work. Entree came with soup, salad and bread. when she asked about the soup of the day it was cream of broccoli. She opted for salad and I opted for the soup. And I was not disappointed. It wasn't that soup out the industrial size can some restaurants use or over thick creamy gunk. The soup was made with a good consistency and real fresh broccoli and carrots, which was new for me and I'm here for it. She ordered Baked Penne and I ordered the pescatore linguine as I love all things seafood. Her food looked really good and she ate just about all of it and my linguine was the best I've had in a long time. Shellfood just right and the calamari not over cooked. I know I live in the San Francisco area, but I don't get out there that much and I usually order my fresh steamed crab and clam chowder. And of course I had to order a personal pizza as it was a Friday and pay homage to the tradition of PCF.. I was going to just order pepperoni, but then I saw sweet peppers as a option!. Ate it later that evening, and let me tell ya!!! It matched my local pizza joint I go to at home. I'm going to try to get back here before heading home. I highly recommend you take a side trip to this spot. The service, the food, and the price (significantly lower that in town). read more

I wish I had checked Yelp before visiting, especially after discovering the restaurant racked up 12 health department violations. Getting in was no picnic either--we had to navigate a noisy, trash-strewn sidewalk just to reach the front door. However, once inside, I was pleasantly surprised by the calm atmosphere. The pizza was surprisingly good. But the chicken parm was a letdown-- over-pounded, overcooked, and had that tough, woody texture (look it up if you don't know). The sauce was bland and forgettable. Bread was decent, and the honey mustard dressing was actually quite nice. But that's about where the positives end. Service was mediocre--pleasant enough, but far from attentive. When your server checks in at the 75% mark of your meal, it feels like an afterthought. (Or a, "We're getting close to the end of the meal when I get my tip.") Blonde woman with glasses. Bored. As if she couldn't wait to get home. All in all, there's no compelling reason to go back. Especially with those 12 health code violations reported here on Yelp--blech. read more

I only had the penne vodka ($11.95), which came with a (pretty decent sized) side salad and (pretty yummy) fresh italian bread. Bread came with butter though I dipped it in olive oil, salt & pepper and it was yummy. I had my order to go (picked it up since I am not in delivery area). They also have creamy italian dressing, which made me happy. I don't think I'd order the penne vodka again though. It did have diced onions (not super noticeable) and a little bit of pancetta (VERY little), but the pics of other pasta in blush sauce looked better. I didn't see gnocchi on the menu but the pics on Yelp look good. So for a pizza place, the pasta is good and I'm sure great if you are in the delivery area. Pizza also smelled good in there. But if I really want some yummy pasta, I'll get penne vodka at Marco Polo in Elkins Park or tortelinni ala tuscans at Tuscany Ristorante on Rhawn. Or if it's a special occasion, Macaronis. There's also some fun BYOB places in the area like Zaccones. Or if you want to travel to East Falls, Fiorino. CLOSED SUNDAYS (a lot of pasta places seemed closed on Mondays like Zaccones or Macaronis). I posted pics of the menu since they don't have a website & so you don't have to search on the internet :) Restaurant area must be different than take out area because the take out area I was in was small and didn't have any tables. Parking: There is metered parking outside. It's at Frankford & Aldine but Aldine is one way, so you can't turn on it to park from Frankford. read more

I had a sudden craving for pasta in white wine sauce. I searched on Google, Yelp, and Grubhub trying to find a place that delivers but using their own drivers. No offense to other platform delivery drivers and my apologies if you feel offended, with all the videos surfacing of folks eating customers food, I'm pretty nervous about that. I know for sure that the restaurant drivers will never touch the food they sign up to deliver, I trust them better in handling my food. I found Gino's Pizza Cafe on Frankford Ave. A little skeptical but my curiosity got the best of me. I order Linguine Pescatore in white wine sauce. And hub try their pizza. The cashier told me it would take 40 minutes to receive my food, and it actually did take exactly 40 minutes. My entree arrived very hot but my hubby's pizza was luckwarm. Like did they baked the pizza first and let it sit while they start cooking my pasta dish??? My linguine pescatore was bland too. I had a similar dish somewhere in Bucks County and it was delicious, I guess I'm looking for a alternative closer to home, this is not it! read more

After hearing more than a few great things about Gino's Pizza Cafe's non-pizza dishes, we decided to check out one of their chicken entrees.  Our office orders pizza just about every week from this restaurant ~ and never once have they disappointed.  The traditional and white pies are absolutely outstanding.  Not knowing what to expect, we opted for the chicken francaise.     Served with a salad, bread/butter, side of pasta ~ it was quite an incredible meal for the price.  The chicken was tender, very moist, light and lemony, cooked to true perfection.  The salad, side dish, crusty slices of Italian bread were plenty enough for two people!  Eat in, take out (packaged up hot and with such good care), quite a large menu, excellent staff ~ Gino's Pizza Cafe is an amazing gem of a restaurant. read more

My family was there tonight for my daughter's birthday.We always go the food and service are great. Tonight the waitress was horrible we waited an hour for our food and the food did not taste good. The waitress was unprofessional at the next table eating off their plate and talking to them. If we go again and get that waitress I will request another. read more

My service with our server Irelynn was fantastic. She was patient with us and showed how customers should be treated. I will definitely be coming back and asking for irelynn again. Another table was giving her a hard time and she did the best she could with them as well as everyone else she was serving. 10/10 service. Thank you irelynn. read more

I raved about the pizza until I realized how RACIST they actually are. First I was told they couldn't deliver to me anymore because the pizza delivery guy couldn't find my address and called me several times with no answer. I offered to pay the driver to redeliver due to miscommunication and even compensate for the pizza . The owner was rude and said "no plus it's cash only " and that I'd get one more chance to order there despite me being a weekly customer. I ordered there one more time- my boyfriend who is black opened the door for the delivery driver and my receipt said "pick up ONLY." Red flag... I ordered delivery again and was told on the phone "we don't deliver to apt complexes" by a young woman. I'm other words they neighborhood "must be bad...because a black man opened the door and a regular customer couldn't get to her phone in time to redirect their driver when he called. Don't EvER order here ..they are racist pieces of fecal matter. Go to Monteseni pizza or Mayfair pizza. read more

This was supposed to be chicken Marcella. Looks like they forgot the flour and the pan to give it a golden nice color. I got some baked chicken in flavored buttery water, definitely will never order again from here. Shame too because I really enjoy the soup they have there. read more

Ginos Pizza Cafe - Chicken marsala? - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

True NY pizza, for me anyway living in Philly. As a NYer we have a certain tastes when it comes to pizza. Thin, crunchy, cheesy(but not too much), saucy, all around great! Went fishing the other day, decided to grab something to eat on the way home and found Gino's. There are some pretty good pizza spots in Philly but Gino's was the closest I've found to home. Haven't tried any of their other items but I'm looking forward to it. Keep it up guys. read more

My mom had mentioned to me that she ordered dinner form here, a few weeks ago. So the following week I decided to do the same. Placed an order for two entrees. Was told pick up in a half hour. When we got there exactly 30 minutes later, everything was ready and the transaction was very easy. They were doing pickups out front of the restaurant. You pay when you get there. Got home and the order was exactly as ordered. Food was hot and we were very happy with our choices (eggplant Parmesan and chicken Parmesan). Everything was very good and I had lunch the next day as well because the portions were large! Would definitely order from this restaurant again! read more

Called to order delivery and was told that my address was too far but i am in the same zip code as this place and it's literally not even 10 mins from my house. I would pick up but after reading the reviews about other loyal customers who has ordered from there and then was told later it's too far for delivery , I am ordering from Mayfair Pizza read more

My family have ordered here many times ... called this evening (we just ordered a couple days ago... but the person that answered the phone said not sure with we deliver there I laughed and said we are once a week from you she said she came back on the phone and said we don't deliver there at far I said I order all the time this is crazy she said she asked... i would never order from this place again and recommend they treat their loyal customers better.... This place is crossed of the list... read more

I ordered the Italian Hoagie ($6-$7) and my wife ordered the Chicken Caesar Salad ($9). As a person from NYC I must say, the prices I paid at Gino's was incredibly affordable!! What was even more amazing was possibly the best Hoagie I ever had!!! It was incredibly huge, messy, dripping with oil and vinegar, mayo, packed with all the fixings, and tasty onions! WOW!!!! Sadly, my wife salad fell short, she said her chicken was overcooked and dry as hell... :( But since this is my review, and my Hoagie was amazing!! I get to give you guys 5 stars!!!! Please try to get your chicken Caesar salads on point for when I force my wife to come back to your establishment!!! read more

Hey degenerates, i wanna put you onto a thing at Ginos. Their cheesesteaks are fantastic.

Customer service is excellent, and they are welcoming THE GOAT GOD KING HAS SPOKEN read more

Some of the best pizza in the area, right behind Vince's ;) The wings are always perfect, apps are tried and true and when it isn't busy, you have to try the half tomato half white for a taste of both worlds. So good! Dine in and take out options. Haven't had a meal I didn't love here. read more

I haven't been to Gino's in probably 15 years since I moved. The place hasn't changed a bit and its still as good as I remember. Stopped this past Saturday night for a personal pizza. It was good! I went with a personal with garlic and oil. Cooked just right and reasonably priced. You can ask for much more from a neighborhood joint. They offer beer to go and a full dining room as well. Solid place to grab a pie. read more

When in doubt, go to Gino's! That's what we always say at our house, when we can't decide what to eat we go to Gino's. The pizza is really good and tasty, but the real stars of the show are the pasta dishes. Their Chicken Parm dinner is great and a big portion, the gnocchi in the blush sauce with crabmeat is always are personal favorite of mine. Plus the bread is a fantastic side to have with your meal, oh and don't skip on the wings and fried calamari. read more

Everything is good here fresh ingredients and great Italian food for a pizza store. The prices are reasonable too. read more

I've spent a better part of my life living around here but never tried out Gino's. After a strong recommendation we ordered a pizza with onions and mushrooms, as well as a side of fries. I came at the estimated time to pick-up, and sat down as the counter lady said my order wasn't ready yet. I sat for about 10 minutes until they called me up. I really don't mind waiting at all, especially if the food is good! But there was a weird unwelcoming vibe, which is very rare in my experience with restaurants. When I got back with my order, the pizza was barely warm and the fries were way overcooked. How do you screw the basics up? Granted, the pizza had a decently light flavor profile. If you're down for a mild tomato sauce, you'll probably like the pies here. Overall, the service was not good. The food must be really on point if cooked properly, but that was not the case for my order either. read more

Best pizza in Mayfair! Always fresh. Always hot. Always crispy. Claudio has the golden hands that make these pies perfect. Plain, pepperoni, mushroom, all on point but the secret underrated gem is their tomato pie. Their sauce alone should be sold in jars! Everyone knows the rules, 8.1 , no rookie scores, it's the truth! read more

I've tried a number of different spots in the neighborhood and Gino's is always my go to for pizza. Even when my parents come to visit they always want Gino's, they love it. I look forward to coming in for dinner soon at the cafe to try your amazing dishes I've heard so much about!! read more

It's been years since I have been here. The food was excellent service was great at an affordable price

I have been ordering from Gino's for years - I used to live around the corner & have worked in the area twice. I have to admit they have some of the best grilled chicken around! Sometimes salads are very watery, but their grilled chicken is always good. Many lunch places around who offer chicken and none come close to Gino's. Thanks! read more

Good pizza, great dough and sauce, maybe a little to much cheese. Grilled chicken sandwich wasn't bad either.
