Gino's Pizza-Spaghetti the Original

I've been talking to my Toledo-born-n-bred coworkers about this "Toledo Pizza" phenomenon for a while now.. (It's probably not a thing, but I'll consider a local phenom. lol)Don't know the full story, but I guess it goes back 60+ years, and it all starts with Gino's.. it mostly explains why many of Toledo-based pizza chains taste similar, including Pizza Cat, Mancino's, Amy's etc.. I've now tried all but Amy's and they're all on my Good-list.For those who don't know -- and to be fair, I'm only *just* beginning to understand -- there's the thin New York style pizza, there's the thick Chicago style pies, there's also more than a few true "Italian" style pizzas such as Napoletana or Romana pizzas, and there's the Toledo style pizza. There's very greasy. Their sauce has a bit of sweetness to it. Add also, toppings are spread all the way to the edge so there's barely any crust on them. For me, it's the last fact that gets sold. I don't necessarily like crusts on pizzas. I'm the dude that goes only for the the middle square pieces of Siciliano pizzas. Initially I wasn't too thrilled to hear about the "sweetness" factor, since I don't generally like my non-desserts to be sweet. But their sweetness is sorta like the sweetness you expect from BBQ sauce. It's not too overpowering (hindered by the greasiness.. in a very.. good.. way) and borderline unnoticeable, which I like. But what I like the most about them is that a 14" regular large size pizza will fill up my entire family with the amount of toppings they put on a pie. Initially I thought I had made a mistake of ordering too little when I saw the 14" box when I was picking it up. But when I lifted up the box, I noticed it was just as heavy, if not heavier, than say, a 16" pie from somewhere else. The heaviness of toppings reminded our family of a pizza place called Pizza Factory up in Phelan, CA we used to get our special pizza from, which must have contained something ridiculous like 20 different types of toppings.. Cashew nuts were one of our surprisingly favorite toppings.I've now discovered there's Mancino's and Gino's near (enough) by our place and it looks like I'll be torn between the two going forward.

I absolutely LOVE this pizza. It is hands down the best pizza in the area. I wish that the Perrysburg location hadnt closed because we get it much less often now that its further away. The staff does an amazing job getting the food to us as fast as possible !

Maybe the greasiest crusted pizza I've ever had. Would've been mediocre even without its greased base. Toppings were sparse, my taste buds were parched.

Great pizza! They offer gluten free & vegetarian options. My favorite pizza spots in Toledo!

If you like rude staff, poorly made orders and cold food then this is the place for you! First of all, the staff is beyond rude. I'm actually appalled the owners would tolerate such behavior! My order was cold and made incorrectly. I ordered a personal sized mushroom and pepperoni and it literally had ONE of each ingredient and was cold! I ordered it online and arrived at the time I was told it would be ready and by then it was cold. Extremely disappointed on many levels!

This is my first visit to Gino's. The restaurant is modern and has average cleanliness. The staff that was on shift when I came we're average. We waited about 15 minutes for our food, which is reasonable. When we received our food the pizza was hot and looked good. I will say that they suck at cutting a pizza, mine basically just had lines in it. The cheese was nice and stringy​, they put a good amount of sauce without overdoing it and it has a slight sweetness to it, which I liked.

The best pizza family comes in from out of town they get to get it...like it cut in squares...have to ask.

If I could give less stars I would. Ordered from this location, the said someone else picked up my order, and then refused to make it again since it was close to closing .

We ordered pizza online at the Maumee location and had it delivered by DoorDash. Our order arrived and was short one pizza! We called and talked to the manager and he did not give us any kind of accommodation, like a credit or discount. One of our family had no pizza because he's a vegetarian and couldn't eat the others. The pizza was good but obviously they didn't check the online order for completion. Bad business.

This place has pretty decent pizza. It also has a rude staff. Everytime I go to pick up a pizza, they act like jerks. I could really dig punching a couple of them in the face.
