    Of course I HAD to stop by Gino's when I was visiting my hometown! I used to come here allllll the time when I lived here. It was so special to come back and show my husband and toddler how great this place is. The staff is still just as nice and I saw familiar faces which was cool. The calzones are still my favorite thing ever and they still have the BEST ranch. Gino's will forever be special to me. They just have the best food and vibes! I wish they expanded in other states because I don't have any calzones this good where I live now. Lol 10/10! Thanks Gino's!

    Pizza/Calzone heaven! The options for pizza and calzone toppings here are endless! Very easy to access this pizza place inside the shopping center, tons of parking. The restaurant isn't huge, but has plenty of seating! The food came out fresh and quick! Top tier ranch as well if you're a pizza & ranch type of person! They bring it to you in a bottle so you don't run out of tiny cups. Such a good pizza spot!

    They've really changed since they first opened, pizza wise. Just like in SLO, dough isn't as high quality, as it once was. Cheese isn't as high quality and the sauce, go figure, is different (used to have more flavor and spice). At least it was cooked all the way, unlike SLO last 3 times I had it! Customer service was great, love the guy who has been there in the front since the beginning, he's awesome. Clean restaurant, as usual. A lot of parking. Always welcoming and accommodating. * Used to be top 2 in the County first 10 years it was open, not anymore*

    Conveniently located near HWY 101 off 4th St. in the 'Pismo Coast Shopping Plaza' by 'California Fresh Market' with plenty of parking. We ordered their Large 'Gino's Special' which is topped with 'Pepperoni, Sausage, Canadian Bacon, Salami, Bell Peppers, Olives, Onions, and Mushrooms'. The pie was sooooo yummy! They are super generous with the toppings, overflowing and everything was very fresh. I liked that the sauce did not overpower the pizza. The crust was thick and had a perfect toast to it. We also had their 'Fettuccine Pesto Pasta with Chicken'. It comes with a side of bread. This was beyond delicious, definitely the best Pesto Pasta I've ever had! There are plenty of tables and a TV playing live sports. There's also a couple of tables outside. Service was great. Welcoming and friendly cashier, he was helpful with the menu. Gino's is perfect to sit and enjoy a sports game with pizza & beer or pasta & wine. Overall, we had a good experience here and will definitely return to try the 'Calzones'.

    What is going on with Gino's??? We've ordered for years, very satisfied. When they stopped using Cafe Runner and connected with DoorDash EVERYTHING CHANGED FOR WORSE! I ordered a medium pizza (now less than 10") with extra red sauce & olives and received none of the above. I paid $50 thru DoorDash and got HORRIBLE Pizza. Will never order from them again.

    My dear Yelp Review Readers...do you like PIZZA? No, no...I mean do you really love PIZZA? Well if you haven't been to Gino's in Pismo Beach how do you know you LOVE pizza? You don't...cause only Gino's makes a real Pizza Pie, on the Central Coast, that will blow your mind! I am a many time patron and finally now...after many pizzas ordered for large company events and personal family dining, a first time reviewer and I should have written this review a long time ago (keeping in mind there are many, many Pizza "joints" I had to try...just to make sure I was getting this right). Doesn't matter which pie you order from Gino's...it's gonna be FANTASTIC! Thick Crust please. This order was the Gino's Special (5/5 - two words...simply put, "Freakin Awesome", no other way to describe it). Lots of toppings to choose from and generously portioned on your pie...create your own or select from the "themed" Pizza Pie creations. Pasta, Calzones, Salads, Sandwiches, Gino's Side Bites and Standards, as well as, Chicken Wings are also all on the menu. Easy to find (frontage road), ample parking, clean restaurant with lots of seating in the dining area and friendly staff...Gino's is the perfect venue for "take away or dine in". On this occasion (as well as many before), in this Yelper's opinion...Gino's Pizza in Pismo Beach truly earned this "highly recommend - come one come all...Pizza lovers, Connoisseurs or if your new to the pizza game" 5 Star review.

    Medium Meat Lovers Pizza
    Nita T.

    While it's pricey for pizza (almost $30 for a medium with toppings), Gino's still is one of the better pizza spots locally. Their crust is very good compared to others, light and crispy but still substantial enough to support the generous toppings. The meat specifically on the Meat Lover's is noticeably high quality. Definitely echo the local love for Gino's!

    April 22, 2026 - Pismo Beach, CA…read more Another year gone by, and another visit to Giuseppe's. Still the same great food, ambiance and service. Once again, we arrived early (5:00 pm), for dinner (they don't take reservations). We were a party of 6, and we were seated right away (as soon as our entire party was there). I was going to order something other than what I had last time (just to try a new menu item), but remembering last year's meal, I ordered the same: half order of both the Ravioli di Zucca and Brown Butter Ravioli. So very good. Restaurant vibe is happy and festive. Our waiter's name was Guido, and he was great. Once again, enjoyed our time.

    I'd heard of this "side" location on the news a few months ago...and today I had a ride down to…read morePismo for dinner. It is a very slow Tuesday evening prefect to give the place a Yelp! I walked right in and sat at the bar, there are about six large high backed booths and a few tables scattered in between. The menu is very simple; sandwiches hot or cold, salads and pizzas, and slices. The bar looks pretty friendly, I wouldn't call it a neighborhood dive but certainly a great "date" spot. Looks like a well stocked deli case with stuff and a few shelves with other goodies for eating. I ordered the Hot Italian Chop Sando $16, basically a heaping of the Italian chop salad on toasted bread. It was good, could do with more of the italian meats dressing flavor was good. I had to check out the deli case to find my desert, looking real pretty was a genuine carrot cake. Three thinish layers with butter cream frosting which was not overpowering sweet. $10 okay that makes the cake worth about $100, meaning it was a thin slice. Both were really just enough, portion control is a new behavior for me... I'll be back for some pizza, maybe bring a date too. Always top quality in their products created and served in their locations, I've never been unhappy. Thanks, Foodguy-martin

I would even generalize the goodness and quantities here to many or even most Pasta & Cheese dishes. Adding their whole loaf of freshly baked bread takes most dishes over the top. I feel that most Italian places in my neighborhood all offer various elements that they are really good at. It is important to note the limitations of most of these places to avoid a let down....and also to account for seasonal, or ingredient variations as well. If one is in downtown Pismo Beach proper, there are only two good choices, that being either Rosa's or Giuseppes. Giuseppes has the advantage of being more of an authentic NYC style pizza place...at least the Express version is. For sit down causal, Rosa's food and service is great for the family. If one wants to go outside of Pismo, you can find Luccas in AG Village. If one heads for SLO-town itself, you can find tons of choices that are great as well, such as Piadina or Flour House for more great Pizza. Regardless of the other places, I will likely always regard Rosas as my go to for Manicotti and Freshly baked bread. What other place gives you a whole loaf of hot fresh baked bread these days?
