Just moved here and found my pizza spot! Great crust, delicious toppings that don't taste super basic(like pizza hut or dominos). The hot wings(spicy) i got were perfect too! Not too spicy but still have a good deal of heat. So please be careful if you're sensitive! Anyway, you can see the quality in the consistency of the sauce. It's definitely not from a can or jar. Uncle Gino(i think?) i met when i walked in, he was cool and we chatted a little. read more

Wet, soggy, doughy, undercooked center. Only the outside crust was cooked/crisped. Our second time in and sorely disappointed. First time we got the XXL Works and even at that size, the pizza had better structure. Would have gone back and asked for a refund if I hadn't already seen how defensive the owner has been in response to other reviewers. Glad the transplants in the other reviews could find a spot that feels like home to them though. read more

Queens transplants, that's story I gathered from the oldest son and Uncle Gino himself. The pizza is available by the slice, or a whole pie made to order. That's all very good, especially for the two slice and drink special price, which I indulged in twice. But, don't overlook those sandwiches on the menu, especially the Meatball sub! Housemade ballz are plump and fresh, and with their excellent sauce and melted cheese hits the sublime. Knife and fork it, that's the method. Anyhow, next time I work in the Temecula area, this is up there for favorite meals along with PapaFeta and the Dutch Sandwich Co. read more

Wow! What a nice, family run business. I added a star for Julianna! Great service with a smile. She is an asset to the business. Onto the food. They have a special. Two slices with one topping and a canned soda for $8.95. It's a great deal and available all day, not just at lunchtime like most places. The slices are large and we're piping hot. Hubby said he liked the pizza and would order it again. I had the meatball sub. This is NOT a small sandwich! It is well worth the $11.50. The meatballs are very tender and tasty. Julianna shared that they are homemade! The sauce was also good and the bread was perfectly toasted. It was topped with plenty of cheese. It had that cheese pull that makes a meatball sub even better. The soda cooler keeps the drinks nice and cold. So glad this place popped up on Yelp! read more

We ordered a large pepperoni and 1 order of garlic bread. The sauce was FRESH and delicious. The crust was thin & slightly chewy. Everything tasted scratch made and the cheese wasn't overwhelming like it can be at some places. The garlic bread was good but might not order next time. Plan to try the meatballs next! Also recommend getting the XL for three adults. Definitely recommend and will be back! Thanks for a great meal!! read more

Never disappoints! Took my fiancé and picked up a medium pizza with meatballs and sausage (made in house) and garlic cheese bread. Gino was at home so his son did the honors. Everything was smooth and spectacular as always. They added more seating inside and out to accommodate their customers. I'm always happy, and the son is a chip off the block. Pizza was cooked perfectly and the garlic cheese bread will be a go to from now on. Do yourself a favor and visit and get the best pizza around. Leave your egos and nonsense at home!

Shout out to Uncle Gino's. I love that they have a vegan option on their menu. :) I ordered the vegan cheese pizza with jalapeños. It was tasty. We also ordered a cheese pizza. My husband said it was a great New York style pizza. Give it a try. read more

We bought multiple pizzas for a gathering and were very disappointed. We thought rather than get costco pizzas we would spend more for a better quality pizza at a local pizzaria. Unfortunately, the pizza was bland, with minimal toppings, and the crust was thin and tasteless. Most folks took a bite or two and left the rest. This was true for every flavor pizza we got (6 or 7 of them). Afterwards I asked my wife and we both agreed it reminded us of totinos frozen pizza. Not sure about the good reviews on here...maybe we got a bad batch, but we feel burned and won't go back. read more

First time here. We did take out large dairy/free pizza loaded with sausage, pepperoni, meatballs and olives. Quite loaded with toppings and the dairy free cheese was BOMB! Caesar Salad with dairy-free cheese and homemade croutons....DELICIOSO! While we don't know if we were meeting Gino or not, the person who rang our order up was extremely nice and courteous. Clean place. I am returning as soon as I'm able to. I can't wait to try the pastas, meatballs, desserts, and everything on that delicious menu! Thank you, Gino for serving those of us with special dietary and healthy needs! You are much appreciated. read more

We are locals but this was our first time here. Food was on time and hot. Our order was exactly correct. Staff were friendly and professional. Mine was to-go so I can't comment on ambiance. Our pizza and wings were good. But they were not great. I was hoping for great. We did eat all of our food though. =) read more

Best pizza in California. This place is the real deal New York. Too bad it's so far away in temecula. It beats all those wannabe places in west la. The employees are friendly. The owner is from New York. Possibly on witness protection. Jkjk. The ambiance is a small place with little seating. So take to go. Literally the best pizza in Cali. read more

I was so excited to find amazing vegan options at Uncle Gino's, and they did NOT disappoint! The vegan garlic knots were soft, fluffy, and packed with garlicky goodness. Perfectly seasoned and seriously addictive -- I could've ordered another batch! The vegan pizza was outstanding. The crust was crispy on the outside and soft inside, and the vegan cheese melted beautifully. Every bite was flavorful and satisfying without feeling heavy. And the vegan meatball sandwich was next level. The meatballs had great texture and seasoning, and the sauce tasted rich and homemade. Total comfort food -- but completely plant-based! Whether you're vegan or just trying something different, Uncle Gino's proves you don't have to sacrifice taste. Definitely coming back for more! read more

We've been going here since we moved to Temecula a few years ago and usually have a great experience with takeout but tonight was a massive exception. My husband ordered a cheese pizza with vegan pepperoni for takeout. When he went to pick it up he saw that they had added jalapeños across the whole thing. They had told us on the phone that they only had a little vegan pepperoni left so to make up for the mistake they made a cheese pizza. Unfortunately they not only used vegan cheese when we ordered regular, but also it was completely burnt. My husband didn't realize it until he was home and when he tried to call back about the issue the person on the phone was not only unapologetic, but insisted they had made two pizzas, we should just take the jalapeños off, and that this is just how vegan cheese cooked. Anyone who has a kid knows this isn't an option and also even though we didn't order vegan cheese, we've had it on pizzas other places and here and it's NEVER looked like this. Just look at other photos people have posted here. He then hung up on my husband without resolution. Honestly such a bad experience I would never recommend this place to anyone. read more

We ordered delivery from Uncle Gino's through the Slice app and had a great experience! Ordering was super easy, and the pizza arrived hot and fresh. The thin crust had the perfect little crunch, the sauce was flavorful, and the pepperonis were nice and crispy--just how I like it. They offer sizes ranging from small to XXL, which is great depending on your appetite or party size. We also tried the Greek salad, and even though it was just a salad, it was really good--fresh and flavorful. And the ranch! Some places have that extra special ranch, and Uncle Gino's definitely does. I'd come back just for that alone. Only downside: they didn't include any plates, but we made do. Still, everything tasted amazing. I'll definitely be ordering again! read more

Found myself in the area and used Yelp to help make my decision where to go for pizza. Ordered the Works pizza. I asked for extra crispy crust and was told they already make their pies crispy. The reason I ask for crispy crusts with my pizzas is I like to have the pieces hold up to the weight of the ingredients. The pizza I got didn't come close to doing that. I picked it up and the piece was limp and all the toppings slid off. The crust was wafer thin and very soggy possibly due to the mushrooms giving off their water content but whatever. Even if cooked further that crust wouldn't hold up. For the most part I enjoyed the pizza but was very difficult to eat. Nice little place overall. While I was there someone got a calzone that looked really good. They had Diet Coke so that's always a good sign. Friendly people. read more

Solid pies, quality toppings and a ton of them. GF crust is par or better than others.

My husband ordered the meat lovers and the barbecue chicken pizza. The barbecue chicken pizza was wet! There were puddles of sauce? Grease? I'm not sure but it was very unappetizing. The meat lovers pizza was good, but I'm not a fan of this place is sauce. It's a little too zesty for me. Just my two cents! read more

Stumbled on this gem advertising vegan pizza, and was surprised to learn they also have vegan cheesecake, croissants and more. The vegan pepperoni pizza was phenomenal, and the chef fantastic. Will 100% be back the next time we're in Temecula. Highly recommend. read more

Over charged me and did not give me my change. Waiting to get home to try this $15 sandwich that showed a price of $9.50. When I asked for a receipt he changed it from a regular ham and cheese to a Torpedo which was listed at $11.43. He explained he did not have a charge for the regular $9.50 ham and cheese. I will never go back even if the sandwich is bomb. Good luck! read more

I do uber and I Went to pick up the order But the guy who's working there didn't wanna give it to me due to the client saying i didn't give it them them on a passed order then complained about how he had to re make it like it's not apart of the job Ive remade catering orders and he's complaining about 2 pizzas and also if the customer isn't there in 7 min im working for free especially when im stacked with 3 orders at a time just saying guy was super unprofessional and I've done many orders for these guys before but i guess I'm supposed wait 30 min for the customer come out so don't deliver for these guys because they'll waste your time and believe the client over you read more

Vegan? Well....YES!!! I was surprised to find that they have Vegan pizza, sandwiches and spaghetti. I ordered the vegan meatball sandwich & spaghetti. It was ABSOLUTELY delicious!!! Honestly, it tasted almost identical to not being Vegan it was that good! Seriously, the Spaghetti was incredible along with the meatball sandwich (both vegan). We also tried the cheesecake & chocolate croissant (both vegan), and both were very good also! The owners daughters are both Vegan (well one, 100% of the time lol), so they know about the Vegan Diet. read more

Service was very very slow and order was wrong. We stopped by here on our way to soccer tournament. We were running late and the worker said it would be 15-20 minutes. He was taking care of a family that was eating in and definitely couldn't multi-task. I wouldn't have been upset if he had told us up front that it was going to take 30-40 minutes instead of 15-20. We would have went somewhere else. We waited. We ordered 4 sandwiches and we got 3. Only paid for 3 but my son didn't get to eat before his game because his sandwich wasn't made. He didn't get the ingredients right on one of the sandwiches either. All that wait and frustration and I didn't think the sandwiches were that great. He was a young kid and by himself so maybe someone called in sick but he moved slow and didn't seem to be concerned about people waiting. There was only 1 table inside so I assume they mostly have takeout. read more

Food was amazing, so many options. Locally family owned and service is great! Super cute inside I love Uncle Gino's

I hadn't been here in a while and I was delighted by the eternally stellar service, the absolutely immaculate pizza, and the environment that truly feels like an authentic New York pizza place. Had a great conversation with the owner and had an even greater meal, needless to say it was 11/10 food and service, not only will I go back but I'll make sure everyone I know stops in for a slice. read more

Try this place if you're looking for great pizza in the Temecula area! The owner, who is from New York, came out to chat with and serve us. We got an XXL works pizza and it was huge, with generous toppings. The owner said the dough and sauce were made fresh and I could tell. The crust was a perfect thickness and the right balance between chewy and crispy. We ordered extra sauce, which was the right move. I would try their pasta dishes and more of their pizzas. It's small but there's some seating inside and outside. read more

Local family owned pizza shop with plenty of options. We came here because one of our favorite vegan restaurants Gentle Grill was closed, so we decided to check out Uncle Ginos. To our surprise, they have vegan options! On the menu, we only noticed the vegan calzone and the vegan cheesecake. However, after speaking to the owner, he said options were: Vegan Pizza, Vegan Garlic Knots, spaghetti w/vegan meatballs, vegan meatball subs, and they also had vegan sausage. We decided to give it a try! And we were happy that we did! Everything came out delicious and we took to go items for dinner later as well! Owner and staff are very friendly and accommodating, service first! There's some space to eat inside and outdoor tables as well. Definitely happy we found this hidden gem! Update: we had the items we took back home and OMG! portion sizes are ridiculously big!! We have food for days!!! Spaghetti was delicious! Comes with garlic bread and meatball sub was HUGE!! Garlic knots are very yummy! All were vegan and Gino made it a point to tell us what he was putting on the items and using Vegan cookingware just for us! read more

I'm a pizza aficionado! As it's my favorite food. I also was once a managing partner at the highest rated fine dining restaurant in a region of 2 million+ people, where I had our Culinary Institute of America gourmet chefs add truly outstanding pizza to our menu. I've also consulted for & brokered the sale/lease of many dozens of restaurants. Thus I became reasonably knowledgeable about best practices. My review as a 1st time customer: *The large meatball/mushroom/onion/bell pepper pizza was 4.5 Stars - really delicious! *Sauce is terrific! 4.5 Stars! *Excellent all-beef meatball topping! 5 Stars! *Crust is only 3 Stars - not truly New York style "thin" as told to me. Next time I'll ask for extra thin. *Topping anount - 2 Stars - way too expensive for the amount given (barely any onions, mushrooms or bell peppers). *Had I ordered a large veggie & added meatballs, I would've received 2 additional toppings yet saved $3.50! Thus what I was charged makes no sense... Hopefully Uncle Gino will consider making a few easy & reasonable changes. If so, I'll be a regular customer! read more

This place has become a favorite of ours when we are in the area. We came upon this place by searching on Yelp and had ordered to have food delivered to the winery that we were at.

We've ordered several times from them since. read more

Good solid pie, it's nice to see a classic small business still around. Gino is in there daily making dreams with his kids and grinding to make a living. it feels like out of a bronx tale. They have good pie with taste sauce and quality cheese. i ask for extra crispy to get that new york / new england style. Overall good product. good use a refresher or some fresh paint but he puts his focus on his product whiling you have respect the hustle. does pass the vibe check but well deserve high five and hope to continue to visit and here the great stories. read more

Let me start by saying that I have been an around for a long time and have had the opportunity to travel far and wide so this isn't coming from a local who was bred on chain pizza. Hidden gem.
