Gino's Pizza - Niagara Falls

After my order, the email confirmation is given order in ca. 45 minutes, it took from 55 to 56 minutes until the order was at my door. The pizza was very good, had a good amount of paprika and mushrooms, etc., but... there was not so much bacon crumbling on it. And the crust seemed kind of thin at 1/2 or 1/3 the way each slice went to an end.

Gino's great before, but for years it's just okay. But! My fiancé and I ordered it tonight only bc it was “Close” OMG idk what changed last year “ But let You tell me something mean Gino! The Ginos we have just the best Ginos I've ever had tonight. (The best pizza in NIAGARA! Something changed and it is definitely for the better. “So whatcha you gonna do when this 24 slice pizza is happy you!

Pizza is good, but the online order system is RIDICULOUS adding characters to reach 100 minimum............

Finding great pizza in a city full of Italians should not be hard, but it is surprising! This place makes a good cake!

I’ve been on a bit of a kick writing about “trash pizza” lately (cheap, greasy, yet strangely satisfying pies . Typically, when one thinks of this type of pizza, places like Domino’s, Little Caesars, Panago or Papa John’s usually comes to mind. But if you ever...visit Ontario you’ll inevitably come across Gino’s Pizza. Who is Gino’s Pizza? Well, to my mind, they’re that Province’s homegrown version of the trash pizza. I say that lovingly, of course ; But let me explain why: Like your typical trash pizza, Gino’s is very friendly on the wallet; they have daily deals sure to reel the money-conscious in; the pizzas contain a lot of wonderful, ooey-gooey stringy cheese and ample toppings; they’re greasy; and, they’re a local chain. There! It sounds like all the hallmarks of your typical trash pizza to me! Established in 1981, Gino’s has gone on to open over 100 locations in Ontario, most of which are located in the southern part of the Province. Indeed, that’s some pretty impressive growth in the span of just over 30 years. Clearly somebody in Ontario loves this pizza otherwise it wouldn’t have ballooned to such a degree. But is Gino’s really home to “Ontario’s best pizza,” as they claim? I think not. Even within the pantheon of trash pizza, I’d rank Gino’s somewhere in the middle – it’s not great pizza, but isn’t really bad, either. My meat-lovers pizza is a case in point: While it had ample toppings and a good cheese to meat ratio, I felt it was, on the whole, quite unremarkable. It was just kind of lacking in flavour. Yes, I got plenty of bacon, ham and pepperoni with bite but they all more or less melded together – their individual flavours were almost undetectable. And, for me, this was a shame; not just because it resulted in a so-so dining experience, but more so because it compromised the pizza pie. The pie was physically perfect: The crust was light and fluffy; the slices were cut uniformly; and it wasn’t overcooked. However, none of that made up for the lack of distinct flavours. Whenever I order pizza, I always get an order of wings to go with it. I mean, pizza and wings – what’s not to like? Well, the wings were rather disappointing. While they were nicely sauced, they were overdone and dry, which resulted in them being tough to get off the bone. In the end, I didn’t even finish my modest wing order. Given my average experience with Gino’s, one is left wondering why this provincial chain is so popular? As is the case with most trash pizzas, I suspect the reasons are many: 1 It’s cheap; 2 The daily deals make them doubly attractive; 3 They’re quick; and, 4 They support kids school programming. Any of these reasons, either individually or taken together, are fine. I’d probably visit them again for an economical bite, but would likely forgo the wings. Random Fun Fact: Gino’s achieved the world’s longest pizza record in 1999. This epic pizza pie measured an impressive 217 feet, 10 inches! FOOD: 3/5 SERVICE: 4/5 VALUE: 3/5 RECOMMENDATION: If you want to support local pizza (that is, Canadian instead of your typical MNCs, then Gino’s is a fine option. They’re not the best cheap pizza around, but they aid many admirable local programs. For me, that’s enough to give a mild recommendation.
