First rule of Pizza places in the NYC area: If you don't see Italian people behind he counter making pizza--it's not going to be good. Trust me on this! The reason is this: When I was growing up in NYC there was no such thing as a Pizza place not owned by Italians--no one would go in there if Italians were not behind the counter. And they made the best pizza and that is how NY got the reputation of having the best pizza. Many of them were immigrants from Sicily. It's not like that anymore because the children of those Italian owners born in the USA did not want to take over the pizza business when their parents retired--they went to college and became lawyers and doctors, etc. So today--most pizza places in NYC crank out bad pizza because they are conglomerates that look like neighborhood pizza places, but are really large LLC's, with central kitchen commissaries trucking in pre-made foods and cans and they hire anyone but Italians to make pizza. Domino's is better. I don't think in Manhattan anymore you can find quality pizza. Again, just look at who is making Pizza in those places. SO, I was giving my niece a tour of my old "hood," and after she said she wants to get some Pizza or something in Gino's around the corner. I discouraged her because the last I was in here, years ago--the old Italian owner sold out to an LLC because his kids did not want to run it and the food was at best a 2 star--it was bad. My niece insisted--I warned here again it may not be great. But I deferred to her request and on our pass earlier looking in the window it looked like some quality people were behind the counter so why not?--let's give it another shot. I ordered the Chicken Parm--always my favorite anywhere. Side Salad. It turned out to be one of the best Chicken Parm I have ever had--best food this place has seen in 30 years! My niece got some concoction of pasta and meat sauce and it tasted great too she gave me some to try. I had to quiz the waitress about what is going on here: She tells me Salvador bought the business about 2 years ago and he employs about 4 chefs that prepare all the sauces and ingredients regularly and even the salad dressing. She says the chicken is not frozen and is breaded fresh. In a neighborhood pizza place they are prepping food the same as a high end restaurant and bring it to table at reasonable prices in a very comfortable atmosphere with polite service and free parking. That is why I gave them 5 stars! I would definitely come back here again next time in the area. In contrast--Most pizza places in the Los Angeles area use canned sauces and frozen chicken and it tastes awful. Most pizza places here have investor absentee owners that don't get their hands dirty are are just going through the motions. You have to pay $35 to $40 for a quality chicken parm in LA the same as the one in Gino's for $25 and I still think Gino's may be better. read more

Ordered two pies for takeout for a school event, and I have to say, the pizza hit all the right notes. The crust was perfectly crisp yet soft enough to enjoy, and the sauce had just the right balance of tang and sweetness without overpowering the flavor. The cheese was fresh and evenly melted, making each bite delicious. What really stood out was how much the kids loved it--my group of 3-year-olds couldn't get enough! It's not easy to find pizza that pleases both adults and little ones, but this place nailed it. The pies were ready on time, and everything was packaged neatly for easy transportation. Overall, it's a reliable spot for takeout and a solid choice for any group event. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of their menu soon!" read more

Ordered via Uber Eats, the penne w/vodka sauce was okay, a bit on the dry side and not enough sauce and the Grandma Pizza was good. I ordered the small size pizza but it was still pretty big for $23.95 - more than a reasonable price point for a Sicilian Pie. Nice to have an above average pizzeria in the neighborhood. Not sure if they're related to Gino's in Oakland Gardens where you can also get decent Italian food. read more

Gino's Pizza - Penne Alla Vodka - Pizza Near Me - Flushing, New York

Hard to say anything bad about Gino's, so I won't. I grew up on Gino's pizza/penne with broccoli garlic and oil, and their numerous locations around Nassau County; this one in Queens continues their consistency with affordable pizza, no-frills service in their small and nicely lit dining room, and The...Best...Chicken Roll..in the Tri-State area! Seriously the chicken roll is reason enough to make a trip, and at an affordable, lucky-number value of $8.88, what's not to love about crispy and juicy chicken cutlet pieces snuggled with melted mozzarella and sauce inside of rolled-up pizza dough? When my father visits from Florida, he needs a chicken roll or else the trip is incomplete - Gino's has the best one. read more

The food - chicken francese, grandma pie, mozzarella sticks, salad - was amazing. Fresh & delicious. The staff was so friendly & welcoming. Highly recommend! read more

Ordered Sicilian pie and it was delicious. Waitress went above and beyond. The sauce was best I ever had in long time. Can't believe I've passed this place multiple times and never went in. Highly recommend and will be coming back read more

This place is my second favorite pizza in Queens NY. The sauce, cheese, pie, they've got the NY taste in it! One get some yummy pizza! read more

I have stopped by this place a couple times for lunch and dinner and everything I tried was 10 out of 10. From the slices to the pinwheels and garlic knots and chicken rolls. The ambiance in the dining area is pretty nice too. read more

This review is for their 18 inch plain cheese pie only. I cannot comment on the ambience of this place or the service because we had a pizza delivered from here through a food delivery service and this is the first time eating food from this place. The pros: the pizza looked the part, appearing like a well executed New York style pizza. The size of the pizza was also great, looking even bigger than the advertised 18 inch pie. The cornicione, or crust edge. Was not too wide or prominent, and the pizza was sauced all the way to the edge, which is what I prefer. Cheese sauce ratio also looked on point The cons: unfortunately, the pizza taste and texture did not nearly match the appearance. The crust was the type that was drier and more cracker like. It had no "chew" to it. It ate more like a flatbread. It also had no flavor. No hint of salty or sweet notes., almost like cardboard. The sauce and cheese were equally flavorless,with no evidence of the addition of hard cheeses or herbs to add some complexity. I took into account the pizza was delivered so I did not expect the pizza to be fresh and hot, but because the crust had those initial characteristics, reheating the pizza made the crust drier and harder, with no good sauce and cheese to save the day. Bottom line: there are many places in the Queens area that produce vastly superior pizza at similar value points, so there is really no reason to subject yourself to this mediocre NYC pizza experience. I wanted to like it but I could not honestly recommend this in good conscience. read more

Gino's Pizza - 18 inch plain pie - Pizza Near Me - Flushing, New York

Gino's Pizzeria never disappoints. The pizza is always hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The crust is perfectly crisp, the sauce is rich, and the cheese is top-notch. Great service and welcoming vibe. The staff was friendly and fast, even during the lunch rush. Easily one of the best spots around for a quality slice. read more

I used to order from here about 2 times per month. The last two times I ordered were horrible. The first time it was not good, I'd ordered a wrap. The wrap was prepared so sloppy, and tasted terrible. I thought maybe it was just a bad day. On that occasion, the girl at the front desk threw the bag an over the register, which I found to be quite rude. I didn't say anything and decided to just give them one last chance since the previous times I'd had no complaints. This last time I ordered they gave me a pizza pie that did not match the order. It was like they gave me whatever they felt like giving me. I will not order from them again and hope they figure out how important it is to provide customers with accurate orders and not treat customers rudely. read more

Always great food. The best garlic knots in the neighborhood. Great vibe the staff there are always amazing.

We usually order for delivery from Gino's. We decided to dine in and it was worth it. Food was delicious, service was impeccable and dining area was very clean. Hubby had the Filet Of Sole Francise with a side salad. I ordered the Lobster Ravioli in Vodka sauce with shrimp. Both dishes were delicious. read more

(3.5 stars) Gino's is located in a plaza with a Chinese supermarket and a few other businesses which share one big parking lot. When you first walk in, you notice right away there's little room to stand because on your left is the pizza kitchen with the slices on display and on the right are fridges of beverages and a cute little coffee bar. However, don't let the front of the shop fool you because there's actually a bigger dining area if you continue walking inside. They have many members of staff (most are young men around my age but it was still somewhat intimidating having 7-8 pairs of eyes watch me as I make a selection). I'm assuming some of them are servers for the back dining room but since there were no customers at the time, they came to the front to chill with the others. I got garlic knots and a bbq chicken slice. I appreciated them putting my food in a box whereas most places use a paper bag. The pizza was as cheesy as expected and the pieces of chicken were tender so it garnered a 4 from me. I was disappointed, however, on the garlic knots. The flavor was inconsistent between bites as some parts of the same knot were left completely unseasoned and the parts where there was more dough were slightly undercooked which yielded an undesirable grainy taste. If you're one of the many people who attempted to make homemade bread during quarantine and inevitably failed, then you'd know what this texture tastes like. Overall, I did enjoy the pizza so I would come back for that and may also return to dine in and try out their entrees. read more

Gino's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Flushing, New York

been here a handful of times in person to dine and had good experiences but ordered for the first time and it was just alright - vodka sauce with farfalle was good but a bit too creamy (not enough tomato-y flavor) would not recommend the carbonara unfortunately it was just incredibly bland ... not even a hint of salt i fear though i didn't order it this time i'd definitely recommend the clam sauce (red, not white) pasta that is so lovely and wonderful i think i'll stick to that one from now on read more

Very nice, spacious pizzeria. As soon as you walk in your greeted and served quickly 5 people behind the counter with great communication and speed to get you your order. Great selection of pizzas to order by the slice or by the pie. I had a chicken marsala slice and paired it with a peroni beer went very well together. Yes they have beer also. Highly reccomend you won't be disappointed. Oh I forgot to mention the pizza is cooked on a screen that gives it that little crunch in the crust that is just perfect. read more

In my early Yelping days I gave Gino's 3-stars when it I should have rated it 4-stars. Today, several years later, I correct my faux pas by giving Gino's great pizza and amazing staying power a solid 5-stars. Mea culpa for mistakes made when ghosts of Christmases past haunted my better judgement. Gino's is as good as it gets for neighborhood pizza joints! I swing by whenever I'm in this hood and my perpetually expanding girth clearly demonstrates my weakness for Gino's pizza. read more

I recently re-discovered Gino's. Used to go there a few years ago, but hadn't been there in quite a while. Very nicely redecorated, too. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was super-friendly & accommodating, as I'm on Keto. Pretty large, fresh portions at a very reasonable price, too. I'll definitely move Gino's back to the top of my list for local dining!!!! read more

Server was very nice, she made up for my first overall experience. Others staffers not so much. Ordered a vodka slice which was very good. Their grandma slice is definitely a staple. Everything else looked good, but I only had the grandma and a vodka slice. Maybe next time I'll go for something else. Only if I get the same server though. If not, I'll just get a to-go box. -It's easier to be nice than to be mean. In my opinion- That aside, food is great! read more

Gino's is probably the restaurant with the best penne, alla vodka sauce In all of queens . The restaurant has dining in the back room and a huge space to sit down and eat a slice. The pizza is great too. The owners work in the shop so you know the food is made with love. Great spot read more

Man, this was one of the best pies I had in awhile! They are in a strip mall so plenty of parking. They had a lot of choices but the Sicilian was calling me! They also have slices to go in case you're in a rush. Place has a big seating area, but we chose take out. Service was helpful. Pizza took about 25 minutes so be prepared for that, but that's not unusual. Next time I visit, you know where I'm gonna stop! read more

I ordered delivery from here a few weeks ago and my order wasn't delivered in full. I ordered a chicken parmigiana with noodles, a chicken roll, a pepperoni roll and a slice. All that was delivered was the chicken parmigiana and noodles which I then had to share with whoever didn't get their order. The deliver driver was a Spanish gentleman who didn't speak English. I asked "so you're going to go back and bring me the rest of my order?" To which the driver replied "yes" then I never heard from him again. I understand things happen but fast forward to now I go to order and this store is not allowing delivery to me because their delivery drivers are incompetent. The delivery driver didn't speak English. This is horrible service, and frankly I'm baffled as I've been a frequent customer of this location for the last 2,3 years. So sad to see management run their operations by pointing fingers and not taking responsibility for their actions read more

Solid (reliable) well known Whitestone pizza place. We usually pick up our orders. Good quality pizza and usual Italian fare.

Today, I had the chance to have lunch at Gino's Pizza. They have a great variety of pizza, pasta and many other fine dishes to choose from. There is plenty of parking and plenty of comfortable seating in the back. The staff are very friendly and attentive. They will make sure that you are fully satisfied. The pizza was very delicious and the atmosphere is very cozy, friendly and comfortable. I highly recommend this place when you are in the area! :) read more

I came here to eat with my wife and kids and it was delicious!! I had an upside down Sicilian slice and it was one of the best slices I've had in my life. I also tried their chicken Marsala and I can't wait to try other things on the menu! We ended up spending over $100 so we got to spin the wheel that they have. I think it's such a cool idea that I've never seen anywhere. We won a $25 gift card and will definitely be coming back!!! read more

The avocado salad is fantastic..highly recommended but has anyone noticed as the prices increases the portion sizes have decreased? I ordered the chicken parm with a side of ziti and the ziti is about 1/2 the size as it used to be before . Order at Nona's in College Pt. The prices are about the same but the portion size is larger. read more
