Ginos Pizza & Brew

I have no idea why the ratings for Gino’s isn’t higher. I had a piece of spinach and ricotta cheese that was EXTRA GOOD! The service was fast, the place was clean, the staff were really nice, kinda quiet. It’s a GREAT place to get a slice LATE At night after sipping in Ybor. Dang that pizza was good, I’m salivating right now just thinking about it. I liked this place!

Great NY style pizza. Friendly service and free refills on pop and beer. Stop by and say Hi to Leo

Who doesn’t like getting pizza after a late night of drinking and fun? Gino’s is your typical downtown pizza place, where you can find people in all states of inebriation. Gino’s is open before the partying begins and remains open late after most restaurants have closed down for the night. I’ve been here sober and yes, a wee bit intoxicated. However, I knew what to expect each time I went. A simple place to get pizza… and people watch. The garlic knots are great and the pizza slices are large. Gino’s is a-​okay for me!

This is a great place for a slice of pizza after a night out in Ybor. The pizza was absolutely delicious. I should have known by the line outside. The service was prompt. We ordered and our food was ready by the time we paid.
Since the pizza was so good, I would probably go back to grab a slice or a pizza even if I wasn’t out for the night.

I stopped in and grabbed a slice of their lasagna pizza. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. The prices are a bit high, but they serve good quality NY style pizza right on 7^th ave.
It wasn’t busy when I went in, and the staff was friendly and quick to respond.

Normally I’m not a fan of reheated pizza, but this place is pretty good. Huge slices that require two plates is a plus. I had a slice of cheesesteak pizza which was really tasty. The garlic knot was really good too. I wouldn’t mind coming back in the future. Maybe once I’ve sampled the other pizzerias in the area.

This may be sitting on the main drag of Ybor (main place to get drunk in Tampa), and a lot of places claim to be NY pizza — but you know, this is good, NY style pizza. They actually pulled it off. Hats off.

I think this place needs a little more credit.
It’s no Grimaldi’s or Monty’s. What you see is what you get. Their pizzas sit out and will be reheated upon request. The employees are tough, muscular dudes who don’t mess around. But it does the job. It’s in Ybor– open late at night. You want a bite to eat, post-​clubbing, post-​concert, post-​tattoo– they’re there. And the different pizza pies keep you guessing. The slices are huge too, and the taste is great.
Yes, they have a lot of their supplies sitting out, not hidden away so aesthetically maybe it isn’t great but I actually like seeing all their cooking supplies up front, makes the place look more authentic.
I know we will be back– we are quite fond of the place!

Meh… finding ourselves hungry last night, and not being able to find a sit down restaurant that was still serving, we stumbled upon Gino’s. I personally wanted NY NY down the road, but the crew vetoed me since they were starving.
Upon entering, it’s your typical pizza by the slice place-​about 5 various pizzas on display ready to be thrown back in the oven to heat up.
I ordered the basic pepperoni, my husband ordered the sausage and peppers, and his aunt and uncle ordered the Sicilian and a veggie. All slices come with a complimentary garlic knot.
We all agreed it was ok pizza. I mean, it’s pizza… when it’s bad it’s still good.
Next time though, I will insist on walking the 5 minutes down the street for a slice of really good pizza.

Would give a zero if I could. Looks and smells terrible inside. I could see if someone was extremely intoxicated they wouldn’t mind the taste of the food. Pizza looked like it had been sitting in the window all day. Employees looked bored and didn’t care about costumers. I will never return.

Stumbled upon this place in ybor before a concert as a last resort. HORRIBLE decision. I should have not eaten at all. Horrible pizza. Probably the worst pizza I’ve ever had. And the service was horrible. Don’t even bother coming here.

Giant slices, with «free» garlic roll.
One refill per soft fountain drink.
Both points are completely reasonable.
It was $ 9.00 for 2 pep slices & one fountain drink.
But, let’s look at how really outstanding this «Real» (their quotes, not mine) NY pizza is. Mediocre to ok, this pizza gets the job done if you’re hungry, but I wouldn’t actively seek eating here based on my need for pizza frequently.
The actual restaurant is cute, clean.
Gino’s offers a deal on refillable drink keepsake cups for beer & soda ($ 3 beer refills, $ 1 soda) for lifetime. Pretty cool concept.

This place is totally Awesome… the best pizza around the pizza is totally authentic the garlic rolls are to die for… best part about them is they are free with the slices and pizza… Don’t know what Rick G was smoking when he wrote that review… take it from me… a true New Yorker this place is the real dealA must have for anyone from up north.

Pepperoni pizza — nasty. Mozzarella sticks– yuck. Garlic rolls — barf (no wonder they’re free). Cheap, poorly made pizza with low-​quality ingredients. If sex was like this pizza, I’d be abstinent.

Worst pizza and service I’ve had in Ybor.

As a resident of Ybor city I was anxious to have a new pizza place with «New York Restauranteurs» On my first visit I thought the crust was like visiting New York it was best in Ybor. But sadly after the first couple of visits I became more and more disappointed. The service staff is rude, on Halloween night they raised the prices of slices to $ 5. For a cheese slice. No biggie but on 3 consecutive pick up orders they got the orders wrong, charged $ 30.00 for a xl cheese pie (menu says $ 22) and ignored the request for extra sauce and left it completely off instead. I’m going down the street to NY NY.

Free garlic rolls! I thought the pizza could be a little cheaper since it was only alright in taste. The staff was nice and that I’d why I go back!

I am giving Gino’s 4 stars based on my past experiences in their Orlando locations. It kills me that I cannot give them 5 stars and sit here wanting to give them a 3. So Four it is. The pizza did not live up to the expectations I had from many nights out in Orlando. It was incredibly greasy and the service was awful (we were the only table, 10+ staff, no reason for this). I am hoping with time, I can retract this statement and give them an official 4 or 5 stars.
