Pizza Pino

I so deserve a maverick badge for this check in. I should have read Unilocal reviews, but I was in the area, it was 2pm, and I hadn’t eaten all day. «Perhaps there’s some fine dining in this strip mall», I thought to myself. I saw on their outdoor window that they had gyros, so I figured that would work.
A prior review is correct: many flies a flyin’? Check. Dirty tables and floors? Check. Soda fountain machine still out of order? Affirmative.
So I ended up ordering the Gyro Platter, and grabbed a can of soda. After about 10 minutes it was ready. The gyro and the fries weren’t exceptional, but they weren’t horrible either. The biggest mistake I probably made was dining in versus taking it to-​go. I’m a big guy and not normally made to feel uncomfortable, but this place isn’t exactly in the best part of town. Would I return? Nope, not even for the maverick badge.

Great food, friendly delivery staff, generally fast deliveries. Haven’t had any problems with this restaurant and they’re one of the better pizza options in my area sans big chain restaurants.
Check out Google if you want a more accurate idea on their rating/​quality. The other Unilocal reviews’ reasoning sounds pretty absurd. Or simply try them once yourself. You shouldn’t be too disappointed for the price.

I’m taking two stars away since this is my second order in two days. The pizza is just as bad as the first order. Two totally different pies. Chicken parm sandwich was barely edible. My two year old liked it. Points for that. The wings were aweful two days in a row. Hot wings selected on the order and next to no sauce or flavor when they arrived. This was the second chance. Never again.

I have mixed feelings about this place. Let me start with the PROS:
The food was plentiful. I ordered the Eggplant Parm platter for 7.59. It came with spaghetti that filled the plate and enough eggplant for two people. It also came with a salad. The salad had little to no dressing on it and I wasn’t offered any so that may simply be an oversight. My wife had an Italian sub and she could only eat half of it. We also ordered garlic knots (5 for $ 2). They were just made fresh and had butter, garlic, and parm. It came with a little container of marinara sauce. We also ordered a deviled crab cake each for $ 3.50.
Now for the CONS: The crab cake started off frozen so although, the outside was crispy, the inside was still cold inside. My wife said it was a little too spicy for her and she couldn’t eat it. I couldn’t say because I prefer mine to be housed in hot sauce. As for drinks, they only have cans and two-​liter bottles. They have fountain service but it had old signs saying «Not Working». They also had a completely empty cooler. The inside only has three old tables and some chairs and a couple of tables outside. They didn’t have the air on but they had both front and back doors open with some fans to help circulate the air. Needless to say, it was cooler when we stepped outside. With all the doors open, there were flies in the restaurant and the floors were filthy. The only menu in the place is a huge sign so when you are ready to place your order, you have to walk up to the counter.
All in all, I gave it one star because although the food was decent tasting at first and the servings are huge, my wife became ill later that day. I will not be back. We threw our take home boxes away to prevent further illness. So many flies and who knows when the last time they cleaned the place. Plus, the server/​cook was rude saying it was a mistake to advertise because they get plenty of the local business already. I hope so because I won’t go out of my way again. By the way, I am local as I work about a mile away with 500 other folks so I will be sure to warn my fellow workers to stay away from this place. There are plenty of pizzerias all around me and I only went here because of a coupon from
