Pino's Pizza & Pasta

After striking out and walking out for no service at two White Bear Lake downtown restaurants, it was Monday night but no excuse...ordered from Links around 7 pm. Pizza ok but soggy.

Decent price, but soggy crust on the spinach & mushroom, and lackluster sauce stopped a good 2" from the edge on the sausage. Service wasn't rude, but wasn't pleasant either--the only reason it bothered me is because everyone before and after me was treated more warmly: don't stop if you're an older woman without makeup, sweaty after a workout, and wearing a hat.

Best New York style pizza in the TC top down. This is one of their many stores around town, run by the family, pop, son, cousin, uncle. The special (1 single topping large and 1 single topping medium for $22.95) is a steal. They have a small table inside and a small table outside but best to take your order home. You can place the order on line as well.

I've come here a couple times for lunch with my family. They have a huge menu of paninis, their version of a sandwich, in between a wrap and a calzone perhaps. The last time, I had the breakfast panini. It was delicious. It's pretty filling. I only ate half and took the rest home.

Always really enjoy this place. The owner is a character but if you're respectful then he's respectful. Great pizza great everything. Seems like it's all made from scratch, hard to tell now a days but very tasty.

BIG pizza slices cooked in the big oven on site. Slid in and out with the big flat spoon. Get a slice or whole pizza pie. The owner is almost always there. Enjoy.

Consistently tasty hand-tossed/NY style pizza. Toppings are good quality. Garlic "fries" are a favorite. Delivery is fast. Pino's is a go-to for us.

Sub par pizza place in White Bear. On the same level as a Little Caesar or equivalent. On the bright side, this place is an absolute delight for Hindus looking for a great time after a fasting.

Guys. Holy snhazz balls. Is there pizza really good. Now if you're looking for thin, NY style pizza. This is the place to go. Sbarro's used to be my go to in terms of Pizza, and I know I know. Its pretty blah in terms of pizza, right?Pino's is now my newest favorite place for that NY style pizza craving. Now, when I was enjoying my $5 two slices of pizza and pop, I overheard the owner speaking to a customer about how they make their own: dough, sauce and sausage in house. Now, if that is not amazing, I don't know what is.Their pizza crust is crunchy but nice and chewy. Their pizza sauce is really flavorful and really good; good aroma too. The pizza isn't too greasy like some of the other pizza chains. But the grease is enough to have the flavor that is needed. I didn't need any additional cheese, and honestly. I am probably going to come back very soon.. If not tonight. ^.^Bottom Line: UH. Yes. I want more Pino's Pizza!

Great pizza--my favorite in White Bear Lake. Always go for the 16". The 12" has a little too high crust-to-toppings ratio and it's all about the toppings!
