Tried Gino's pizza for the first time today! We got the large BBQ chicken pizza with ranch on the side and some sodas. They had a lot of options, and I'm excited to try more in the future! The Pizza was good and had plenty of chicken. The BBQ sauce was perfect! Not too sweet. The atmosphere was very clean and had a beautiful view of the mountains! I also appreciated the staff's friendliness.

This is a great place to have an easy, casual, fun group gathering! We just did lunch with a group of about 22 of us there. We used the “front” area of the restaurant (closest to the street). Lots of room to mix and mingle. They have both booths and bigger tables. We used the big high-top table for all the food. The parking is super easy. It’s close to Cal Poly (if that matters for you). You don’t have to deal with parking downtown. The food is good! We were even able to get a gluten-free pizza with vegan cheese for one of our guests with dietary restrictions. Bill and Mario took great care of us (thanks, guys!!). They do have outside seating if you prefer to be outside. They also have a few arcade games for the kids. I did a drop-in birthday party here a few years ago. Definitely consider this place for your next group gathering!

This is a family owned restaurant situated across from the hotel we stayed. We went downtown SLO and turned back to come here because of the high ratings. We ordered vegetarian pizza and it was fantastic. The service was super friendly, the booths were spotless. It is also very close to CalPoly and they offer discounts for students. their garlic bread starter was huge. They also have various pastas. We will definitely be coming back again.

Gino's is so awesome! A staple of SLO with the best pizza, best atmosphere, and a super cool location. Huge shoutout to Bill and the rest of the team at Gino's! They took great care of us.

Definitely some good pizza .. crust was good and they didn't go cheap on the toppings. They have some games for the kiddos, and beer for the adults.

I’ve never actually set foot inside Gino’s, but I’ve definitely formed a deep bond with their delivery service. The pizza? Always solid. The topping flexibility? Next-level. You can go 3x or 4x on a topping if you’re feeling wild (it’ll cost a bit more, but worth it). I’ve ordered at least a dozen times and they always remember the ranch—heroes, really. Great local spot. Highly recommend if you like your pizza your way and your ranch accounted for.
