I am updating my review. I know it's been a few years since I first tried Pinos. It was delicious on our last visits this summer. I have a huge amount of respect for any small restaurant owner that survived the pandemic and is still in business after my review ten years ago. I was too harsh, and I apologize. Kudos to you Jim. You work hard and you deserve five stars for your efforts alone. I know it's a tough job owning a restaurant and you still take the time to repaint reviews. read more

Great service they were all so nice and quick i enjoyed my pizza very much if you are looking for a pizza place in ocean city this is the place for you! read more

July 2025 | Costly mistake... (Updated Aug. 2025, please continue to the bottom) Unfortunately, Pino's dropped the ball this year. We ordered a 28" half bacon, half pepperoni pizza--$51 base plus $10 topping, total $61. What arrived? Full pepperoni. Disappointing, especially since my wife can't eat it due to heartburn. We disputed the charge via Uber Eats. That said, the flavor and quality were outstanding. I enjoyed it on the beach, but it's hard to overlook a mistake that left my wife hungry. Pino's, please get it right next time... UPDATED: Jim, the owner, reached out immediately and took personal responsibility for the issue, proof of why this business thrives. As I write this, he's remaking our pizza from scratch and even gave us the choice of toppings. It'll be ready for pickup shortly. Jim, thank you for your professionalism and genuine care. It's exactly why, even though we stay on 25th street, we travel over 50 blocks for Pino's. Simply the best OCMD has to offer. read more

Yelp placed them recommended over others in OCMD. Not true. Recommended for service-- quick to greet with a smile. This is pick up only unless you want the curb in the parking lot tables. Space is small and cramped. They don't answer phone so you must order thru 1/3 apps. Note: pick Slice with cheapest surcharge. Pizza was eh. Nothing special, sauce was eh, nothing special. Others said generous toppings, I disagree. The crust, meaning truly the crust was good but the crust under the pizza itself, soft and squishy. Lot of sauce. The wings are fatty and GMO big. Bite into them and get the wiggly, squishy, yellow under the skin. Don't worry about special requests-- they mark it, see it-- don't follow through. I asked for 'well done' wings. If that was well done, the regular fry time must be just at food safety minimum. Not returning, do or recommend. Go elsewhere to get better crust and flavor. read more

Their crust is to die for! We enjoyed their pizzas as well as chicken strips. We still talk about Pinos pizza whenever we crave pizza back home. Gonna return soon! read more

This pizza tasted like nothing, not a single ingredient had any flavor, it was almost amusing how bad this pizza was.

It was one of those vacation days that you're wiped out and hungry, but you don't feel like going out to eat. We decided on pizza. After reading reviews for a few places, we agreed on Pino's. And I'm so glad we did! This pizza was delicious. The crust was spot on and it had the right sauce to cheese to topping ratio. We got a 16 inch pepperoni and a 16 inch Pino's special (pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, and green peppers). Admittedly a little pricey, but it was worth it. Between 6 of us we devoured both pizzas within a couple of hours. Best pizza I've had in OC! read more

We were nursing a pretty bad hangover from the Oceans Calling festival and we wanted a pizza. Pinos caught my eye as a "safe" bet being from out of town. This exceeded my expectations. The pizza was ready in twenty minutes! When we went to pick it up they even included a bunch of extra condiments which was a really nice touch. The pizza was absolutely delicious. It was fresh and the sauce was just SO good. It actually tasted like fresh tomatoes. We got a pepperoni and it had a nice char on top which added a crispy texture. We thought we were just getting a "basic" pizza but they managed to make it delicious and with a true pizzeria flavor. We got it to go so I can't speak for the ambiance but we will definitely be back next year. read more

Jim is a fantastic owner! The pizza was solid and exactly what we needed after a long evening. I wish this business all the best!

We were in town for Oceans Calling and on our final day and wanted something easy and opted for pizza. We are from the Buffalo NY area and are very particular about our pizza and we chose Pinos because of the reviews and it was not a chain pizzeria. The pizza was PERFECT! We got a 16" all mushroom half pepperoni pizza and the only thing we disagree with is that 2 people could eat a 16". Best Pizza we had outside of Buffalo by far!!! Please don't listen to the negative reviews they have no clue what great pizza taste like!! read more

This is hands-down, the best pizza place in Ocean City. Pinos makes pizza to perfection. They were very generous with the toppings and the sauce. It was a nice heavy pizza with a nice crunchy crust. The service was wonderful and it was a very pleasurable experience for my first time visiting. Cheep and affordable. read more

Great pizza! Call ahead. We had meat lovers. I think that the toppings might be a little expensive. Free parking!

What can I say. Perfection. Jim runs a tight ship and the quality control is off the charts. Yes this is expensive pizza but it's OC and you won't feed a family cheaper for such a satisfying meal. Crust is divine. Sauce (Jim's specs) is perfect. Toppings super high quality. Try it. You won't be disappointed. read more

This. Is. The. Place! Okay, yes...it was on the expensive side, but no more so than the other surrounding pizza spots. I'm from NY, so I am genetically engineered to be a pizza snob. I have nothing bad to say about the pizza here. The crust was perfect- not too thin, not too thick. The sauce wasn't acidic, or sweet. Everything tasted fresh, not some freezer BS. We ordered both the plain cheese, and white pizza. Absolutely delicious. 10/10. Will most definitely be back again soon! read more

I had high hopes. This is not NY pizza. It's more than f a cross between Domino's and Costco's. Owner is super nice and aims to please!

I eat pizza all the time. This pizza is Ok. Lacks sauce and taste was just ok. 3 out of 5 is fair. What wasn't fair was $37.50 for a large pie with 1/2 pepperoni. Therefore final grade = 1.5 read more

After a long wait after a phone order, we arrived in the parking lot where we were told to wait 5 more minutes. After waiting those few minutes, they managed to give our pizza away to someone else, but not before they tried to play it off and say"only 10 more minutes". Pizza was average and not worth the hassle. Save time and grab any other pizza at a place with better service. Barely better than Domino's. read more

One of the best pizza's you can get in Ocean City, hidden in a strip mall on 80th. Fresh hand tossed crust with a great sauce.

Loved this place! First time going. Needed to feed a big group for a bonfire so we grabbed 2 of the 28 inch pies. It was sooooo much food and it got great reviews from both the adults and kids. The novelty of the pizza being bigger than a small child was a hit too. read more

Pino's Pizza - The owner was so excited to show me the pie!!! - Pizza Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

My husband Pete and I picked up a delicious Pizza tonight. The owner is doing an amazing job during these Covid times. There is a sign up sheet outside and then he works down the list bringing guests in one at a time to take their orders add then hand delivered each pizza to the customer outside. They even offered free bottles of water, hand sanitizer and places (spread out) to sit and wait for your turn/pizza. When the owner Jim hand delivered our pizza he told us all about the custom cheese bland and homemade sauce. I will attest that the sauce was the best I have ever had and the cheese incredible. My only negative is on myself. I wish I had reheated my pizza in the oven to attain that crispy crust. The owner was a one man show tonight and the pizza was still incredible and we got personalized service despite being busy and short handed. read more

The Boss himself was working on the busy Thursday night. The way to order was super safe for covid standards. Outside seating to wait for delicious pizza and cheese bread (not pictured) with tables and chairs spaced out with hand sanitizer and wipes for tables. I felt very safe. Pizza came out quick, hot and amazing. This will be my new Ocean City pizza place. read more

The service was exceptional and you can tell they love what they do. I waited 30mins dogging the rain standing by their door just because of the distancing restrictions and it was worth the wait. I ordered the 20" pie half pepperoni and the other plain cheese. It's definitely the best pizza I've tasted in O.C. Me and a friend could not even finish the pizza the next day literally 1 or 2 slices will cover a meal lol. The pizza tasted possibly even better the next day but maybe I'm tripping lol but I'll be back soon Pino's. read more

Pino's Pizza - 20" Pie enough for 4-5 people with ease - Pizza Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

We saw this place across the street from where we were staying. I looked it up and it was rated No.1 in OC............hmmmmm. Going to give it a try. I called and the individual said 15 minutes is that okay? I was like yes I am across the street and will walk over. He said he would have it ready in 10 minutes then! Small place, the owner is there active in the making of the pizzas. My pizza was pulled out and he said no, not done put it back in for 3 minutes. Attention to detail! When I got back here and opened it up my wife and I were really pleased with how it looked. I haven't seen pepperoni cups in years, the crust was super thin and it just looked like a New York Pie. The Pizza was delicious, the super thin crust held up well and was crisp. It tasted great, deserves No.1. Very very very good pizza. A bit pricey but this isn't Papa John's and is well worth the cost. You get what you pay for and we certainly got our money's worth. Try it. read more

Pino's Pizza - Half Pepperoni half cheese, all good! - Pizza Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

Really good pizza. Probably the best I have had In Ocean city. they offer delivery though. A third party app

5 stars for service and pizza! We have a place in Fenwick and rarely get pizza down here, as frankly it all is pretty terrible. After visiting a brewery in Berlin, our toddler was screaming for pizza, and after doing a Yelp search of the area between Berlin and Fenwick, Pino's by far looked the most promising (thanks yelpers for the photos). It was ready within 10 minutes for pickup, the owner was super friendly and personable to my husband. While the place is small and take out/delivery only, don't pass it up! We will be going out of our way (and passing about 15 pizza places) in the future to come to Pino's from now on. read more

The pizza was a 10/10. We had delivery to our hotel. Delivery took 45 minutes from the time the pizza was done to delivery at a hotel that was literally 3 blocks away. I would order again but would pickup instead of delivery. read more

We did takeout and it was delicious pizza ! Unfortunately we did have to place or order thru DoorDash so it was pretty expensive. Will be back and will probably do pick up next time .. read more

Pizza everywhere in OC in overpriced. Let's just get that out of the way to start, but this is the best pizza in OCMD as far as taste goes... I grew up on Dough Roller pizza, but have been let down by their consistency of quality in recent years. Including, since their addition of some "Pepperoni Extravaganza," or whatever they call it, which used to just be their pepperoni pizza. Just another way to milk $4 more out of tourists to skimp on a cheap topping. Then I remembered that place on 82nd that used to sell slices late at night, which were amazing! This was 15-20 years ago, staying with family on 87th. Pino's! That was it. Don't let this little strip mall storefront fool you, the pizza is good! If you're from the Baltimore Area and you're familiar with Pizza Johns in Essex (not Papa Johns) then this is the pie for you in OC. I recommend the pepperoni. They are the small ones that curl up and pool a little grease, just like Pizza Johns. The cheese is real and laid on thick, just like Pizza Johns, and the sauce is so darn close it crazy. The only difference is Pino's is slightly sweeter and doesn't have that slight red pepper flake bite that Pizza Johns does and the crust doesn't have that same hand kneaded love, but a solid pizza! Also, the lady at the register has the greatest people skills I have encountered in OC in years! Her customer service is top notch! Such a sweetheart! read more

Great little take out pizza place if you only want a slice or a whole pie. Ordered a slice of cheese and pepperoni pizza. Sauce was really good and crust was baked perfectly. Great customer service. I highly recommend Pino's Pizza! read more

Pretty expensive for a large pizza with two toppings and whoever cut the slices made for very unequal pieces. Other than this, pizza tasted good with fresh flavorful ingredients and a decent crispy crust. I would eat it again. read more

We saw reviews on Yelp! And knew we needed to try it. We called at 5:00 (open time) and 5:15. The answering machine stated they weren't taking phone orders and may be low staffed. No issue with that. We drove the mile to try this pizza. We signed in outside along with one other person. The other person received theirs after waiting for some time. Again, no biggie. We were on beach time. We noticed a girl inside taking phone orders... we were a bit concerned as when we called we were under the impression they weren't taking phone orders... at this point we had been waiting 55 mins and we were the second on the list. Finally, we received our pizza and made our way home. We ate and were happy, but the disorganization was a bit crazy but when your low staffed... it happens. Food is great. read more

Great pizza. We ordered the largest size and it took and hour to make and deliver on a busy saturday night so the wait was totally expected. HOWEVER! There was a $1 support local fee on the website. Not cool. Wish that could've been taken off loc wtf is "support local fee". read more

Solid pizza choice. They got that pepperoni that curls up literally is chefs kiss. I'd eat this pizza till I start throwing up violently. I can't stop eating it. I've put on 10 pounds on in a week from continuously eating this pizza. No woman will ever satisfy me as much as this pizza does. I will eat this pizza everyday and it still won't ever be enough to stop eating it. I love this place. read more

I can't wait to go back to OC just to go to Pino's. My boyfriend and I were in town the other weekend. We had walked past pinos on the way to get Icecream. On the way back by we decided to try it as they were pretty busy for it being late at night so I figured it must be good! And it sure was! The sauce was incredible, and the dough and crust even better. This will certainly be a stop we make everyone we come to OC. read more

Probably the best pizza in OC. Great crust, great toppings, great sauce. It's a little joint down on 81st street and I can't complain. 10/10 will come back again next summer read more
