Editing to add more detail. 3.5/5 Pros: -Slices available -Super crispy Cons -Credit card minimum (not sure what it is, but the employee said "I hope you have cash" when I bought one slice) -Oily -- Cheese Slice ($2.88 with tax) Large slice. Super thin and crispy, which is the best part about it. It's fairly oily. It doesn't taste that indulgent, but on the flip side I also appreciate that it's kind of light. If you're craving pizza that's not that heavy, I'd recommend Pino's. If you want to go all in, Regina's or elsewhere! read more

Pino's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Brighton, Massachusetts

On a road trip and decided to visit this old haunt from my college days. Its local competition (Presto's Pizza) shut its doors years ago, so Pino's now appropriately is the King of Cleveland Circle. I went basic, with just two slices since I was only doing takeout before getting back on the road. The thin crust pepperoni slice was as good as I remembered. The Sicilian slice, cheese only, was even better. It was light as a feather, with an awesome taste and sauce to cheese ratio. It wasn't one of those heavy as a brick pizza bombs that Sicilian slices often are. This is truly one of the best slices on the planet and since I was sober and it was not 1am - the opposite of my normal visits while in college - I could appreciate Pino's amazing consistency and quality over decades of time. Service is quick, to the point, and not all that friendly, and the dining room ain't much, but who cares? I used to order the baked ziti dinner and it's probably still good, although today's price may limit how often college students lacking parental wealth (like me) could eat it. Whatever the situation, this is still some great f'ing pizza. As the pizza box clearly boasts: "End the quest, at Pino's you have the best!" read more

Pino's Pizza - Not gonna argue with the pizza box boast: this is one of the best Sicilian slices you will ever have. - Pizza Near Me - Brighton, Massachusetts

Nice little family pizzeria! Everyone was welcoming, helpful and patient. A polite kid working the cashier, you just don't see that a lot these days. It was great to see. The Sicilian slice is top tier! Thank you so much! read more

It may be nostalgia but this is my favorite pizza. A number one and a number three is the way to go. A mix of classic with Sicilian slices.

On national pizza day, you gotta have pizza I tried Pino's out as I heard some solid things and ordered the buffalo chicken and pino's special pizza. The pino's special was topped with veggies but didn't really leave any major impact. It is solid but it's just that The buffalo chicken had solid flavor and it came with blue cheese dip which was ok. The crust for the pizzais probably the best as it had a nice mixture of bite back texture and chewiness Pino's is solid, but given the price and the lack of anything novel or exceptional, it only warrants a 4 star from me read more

Delicious pizza for good price. Friendly staff and clean environment with quick service.

Been getting slices for 10+ yrs. Thin, cardboard slices and staff treat you like newbies after the 100th th time. Just go with this in mind. Open late, adequate, greasy thin crust pizza. That's it. read more

Full disclosure: this five star review is based on one slice of cheese pizza. But this is the best slice of NY style pizza I have had in all of greater Boston. Pinos has managed to fully replicate the extra large NY slice. From its foldable thin crust with a thicker nicely toasted edge to the perfect cheese and tomato ratio. And just the right amount of grease/oil! I realize taste in pizza is subjective, and Boston offers many varieties from Deep Dish (Unos), craft pizza (Otto's and Stoked), uniquely Boston (Santarpios) and Greek (everywhere), but Pinos offers the closest thing to a NY slice I have found that does not require having to head out of state. read more

Pino's Pizza - I ate one of these cheese slices. I wish I had gotten 2 for myself! - Pizza Near Me - Brighton, Massachusetts

It too expensive !! And very thin ..You ask for extra cheese they give you a little and it's not even melted .. What the hell!!Not very nice either .They just say next not saying hi or anything . I wouldn't waste my money .look else where trust me your not missing anything . Except your money read more

Right at Cleveland Circle with big light sign, you'll find Pino's with no problem! Come in to order a slice or a box a pizza. This place has been around for years and the people here know what they're doing. There's plenty of old style booth seating if you just wanna grab a slice a hang out for a bit. I came here on a Sunday afternoon and ordered a slice of pepperoni and Cajun fries. The slice of pizza is your average giant slice has lots of pepperoni on it and a bit oily. The Cajun fries were crispy and crunchy and the flavoring was definitely on point! The Cajun spices added a great kick to the fries, but didn't make it too spicy to eat. Pino's also sells sandwiches as well if you're not in the mood for pizza. read more

Since the pizza place has changed over, it's WORST than ever. I ordered a sub and small cheese pizza. The owner was rude barking at me that it'll be 15-20 minutes and to leave the place than waiting inside. I parked right outside and came in 15 minutes later, The owner bark back at me and said it wasn't ready and to leave and come back in 7 minutes. I didn't argue in both times and walked out and back to my car. I waited 10 minutes and gone in. The pizza was ready but I believe the sub was done probably 10 minutes ago as the bottom was warm and not hot. A.K.A. they made the sub and left it on top of oven. They may have the local customer and Boston College students but not with that attitude and service. Will not go back and will hope you who read this do the same. So rude and I hope they lose the business!! Pizza was not good and sub wasn't the same. So what did I get out of this but the owner barking at me. read more

Ah Pino's! This place is true nostalgia for me. Grew up going here, now my family brings the younger kids here. Is it the best pizza in the world, no, but it hits the spot in a very particular way that only Pino's can. The guys are friendly, the service is fast, I swear it's tasted the same since I was a kid, and that's a good thing. Is it NY pizza, no, it's its own thing, and it's good in the way it should be. A simple cheese slice as it should be, no frills, and an amazing cheese pull. It's not pretending to be anything it isn't, and that's delicious. read more

Gets the job done. Area staple with friendly staff. Pasta dinners aren't great. They also charge $6 to add meatballs to baked ziti (which is just pasta with mozzarella - not like a real baked ziti) but the baseline price for ziti and meatballs is the same as the baked ziti. So really you're paying $6 for melted cheese... If you get a Calzone it's ridiculously thin and doesn't really seem like a calzone. The chicken in the chicken parm sub or dinner has a sort of rubbery consistency. Many of their sides are made next door at Eagle's so timing isn't always great for orders. But the pizza is good in a pinch especially if you're just stopping in with a friend to split a slice/pie. read more

So, my husband and I grew up in the area and have both been eating Pino's for 15+ years now. Anyone else spend their Friday nights in high school caching a movie and then heading across the street to sit in a red booth until your mom called and said you had to come home? Anyway, it's always been great and other than the closed-down Imperial in Brighton Center, has always been at the top of our list. This is just for the pizza, by the way, the rest of the menu is similar to any other pizza shop. The pizza though, comes with large slices and a taste that is definitely more Italian (my fave), vs the typical "pizza house" Greek style you see most places. The lower rating is for customer service and lack of safe COVID practices. They seem to be the ONLY restaurant not allowing payment and tipping over the phone, instead expecting their customers to pay in person and interact closely with their delivery driver. I find this practice to be very odd and potentially very unsafe. I even mentioned I was a chemo patient, and that didn't seem to matter. I have had to push back and have been able to get them to take my credit card over the phone (always with a nice tip for the trouble), but tonight they not only refused when my husband called, they SWORE at him. My husband is not as pushy as I am, so he backed off the request. So...is it a pandemic or not? This place seems to be confused about that. Makes me worry about safety practices in their kitchen, if I'm being honest. At this point, I may need to wait until the world opens back up to order from them again. read more

I have been coming here from time to time for the past 2 years, and I can't imagine Cleveland Circle without this pizzeria. The pizzas are really good, the owners and employees are extremely kind, and the place just gives this feeling of nostalgia for some reason. For all the parents of new incoming college students, I have noticed this place being the "send off" pizzeria for many parents and their college kids at the beginning of each new school year. If you have a love for pizzas, and you want that je ne sais quoi Bostonian touch to pizzas, please consider this place. I love their pepperoni, meat lovers, BBQ chicken, and veggie pizzas. Also, their Sicilian pizzas are f*cking amazing. read more

Moving to Boston recently I was excited to find a good pizza spot. Pino's is always great for a slice or a pie to take home. Service is very nice and efficient. It feels like a tradition in the area! read more

I tried many of their pies and the slices are pretty good. They aren't anything too special but still good for a basic slice of pizza. They crusts are thin which I like but also not that good cause they get kind of floppy. There's a thin layer of cheese on the pizzas with a small amount of tomato sauce as well. The cheese also solidifies quick which makes it not as good after a while. Overall, just average pizzas. read more

Best pizza in Brookline/Boston! Recommend from a friend, these 2 slices ran about $8 and were perfectly delicious and crispy and held up every way you want a pizza to! I wish I could have this so much more often. All I can say is TRY IT and get extra, you won't be disappointed. Upgrade that small to an extra large pie and prove me wrong! read more

I just moved to Brookline and I've only been to Pino's twice ... In two days. In my defense, I don't have groceries and Pino's is within walking distance of my place. Anyways, I went once for dinner and once for lunch the next day. I did take-out both times but the service was fast and friendly. For dinner the one night I ordered a small Greek salad. For lunch the next day I ordered the fresh tomato, mozzarella, and basil sub. The Greek salad had tons of fresh feta, ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers. I thought it was odd that there were carrots in their Greek salad but they're healthy so whatever. As for the sub, it had some of the freshest mozzarella I've ever had. And the tomatoes were so ripe and juicy. The basil was fresh and topped off with a little salt and pepper, this was a tasty sub! I look forward to coming back to Pino's to try their pizza - just not any time too soon; three days in a row might be a bit much. read more

Fantastic pizza and great subs. Quick, fresh, no-frills place. In my opinion some of the best NY style pizza in the Boston area. This place has been reliable awesome for the 15 years I've been coming! read more

We ordered a pizza at 8:34pm and was quoted 20 minutes to cook. We showed up 20 minutes later and the pizza was ice cold. When I called to see if we could get a credit the guy was unbelievably rude. He told me he "didn't know how long we came after we order it" when I explained we were there on time and live around the corner, and we are heating the pizza up in the microwave after just picking it up and that I couldn't come back but wanted a credit for a future use he said "I don't know what to tell you". This is unacceptable. If you want a premade pizza there's a 7/11 down the street, At least it's hot read more

I let out a Paully walnuts "ohhhhh" when I got on here and didn't see a five star rating. Second day in a row coming here. Sicilian Pizza bout made me nut my jeans! Great local Italians behind the counter, get on down here they'll get u right! read more

Got take out. Two of us from the same hotel placed orders. Theirs was missing something and experienced difficulty getting a credit back on their card. I got a large tuna sub. It was huge with plenty of tuna. It was just basically tasteless in terms of toppings and flavor. I'd give it a three. My spaghetti freak daughter got the spaghetti and meatballs with a side salad. She said the salad was just okay. It looked alright to me, but I have to go what she said. She said the spaghetti was good. My wife got a small pepperoni pizza that was more sized like a medium. She said it was just okay, not three stars. I noticed she only ate the tip/top 1/3 of half the pizza slices, leaving the rest for breakfast. Next day she decided it was not worth eating as leftovers. She also got cheese bread that came as one load of hard crusted buttered bread with very little cheese. I ate some of it. Really bad. Zero stars for that. I have to consider everything... no one was happy, no one would order again, no one would eat the leftovers, the fiasco the others had. read more

This was my first time dining in at Pino's Pizza and I must say that I am disappointed by the service and manner of the employers at this establishment. I am not sure if it was because they were overwhelmed and tired because it was St. Patrick's Day, but the two employees that my friends and I interacted with gave us attitude that was completely unwarranted. One employee rudely demanded that my friend pay $3 so he can just give her change, instead of waiting just a few more seconds while she gathered up her exact payment (let it be known that there was no line behind her and thus no reason to rush). Another employee was giving attitude to my other friend as he was ordering. I later saw that same employee passive aggressively stare down two customers who were unknowingly blocking the entrance until they moved so he can pass through. Not cool. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, but three occurrences of subpar customer service in the span of 30 minutes is enough to make me hesitant to come back here. Especially since there is nothing particularly special about the pizza, customer service is a HUGE deal-breaker for me. read more

This is an amazing community based Pizza shop. Once again they helped the Runkle School with pizza's for the Halloween fair. The pizza was so good we ran out and needed more and they made them for us in short order. So thankful for their efforts. I also order from here all off the time. I just received a pizza and posted a pic below. They don't skimp on anything. Great quality and flavor. read more

Pino's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Brighton, Massachusetts

Best pizza ever! Every time we're in the area we always make sure to grab a pizza. It hits all the marks of what a good pizza should be.

10/10 for pizza and subs. Staff is super sweet and attentive. You can tell it's a family working behind the counter. They're literally my go-to, especially for Sicilian pizza (it is HUGE and definitely worth the price). Because of all the colleges near by, it can get pretty busy and loud but aside from that, I've been going for years--never had an issue. read more

This place is so good that I had to buy a Pinos t shirt just so I could represent Pinos wherever I go in the world. This is everything you could want in a pizza place and more. I would recommended this gem to anyone passing thru Boston and I would tell them that if you don't buy an $8 shirt you are no friend of mine. I love Pinos, to be honest I loved their Sicilian more than the whole Pie but different strokes for different folks read more

Normally I would rave about the pizza, but racist staff. The staff kept yelling my elderly father "this is not India"and chased my, a paying, regular customer, out the door. We will never come back. No one said anything or did anything. Do not come here! read more
