Papa Gino’s Pizzeria

Went one evening for the all-​you-​can-​eat pizza and pasta for $ 5.99. Sounded like a great deal. The pizza is plain or pepperoni, the pasta (spaghetti or penne) with or without marinara sauce. Also got a large garden salad. The best part of the meal was the salad. The pizza tastes like poor quality frozen pizza. Not much more to say about that. The pasta was decent quality but with only a choice of marinara sauce only had one bowl. While the price was good for the buffet, with such few options you can barely call it that and based on the quality of food, I would have been better off heating up some (better quality) frozen pizza and boiling some pasta at home.

The shift leader is so goofy there, well one of them is. Her name tag read nicole, be on the lookout for her, she is a goofy one. Also, if you see her there and like buffalo chicken pizza, ask her for old style buffalo chicken pizza, its so much better than how they make it now! Only if she is there, call up and ask!

Disappointing and Unrealistic on cooking times
I will start by saying I have had pizza here before on two occasions and have been satisfied. On this occasion I called in for a large pizza and arrived on time twenty minutes later. I paid for the pizza and was then told the printer ran out of paper, they lost the order but would put in right away and it would be out in 8 minutes. As I had my two grandchildren waiting for me I say yes. After at least another twenty minutes went by I stepped up to cancel my order and as I was standing the manager said to the person at the counter to give me a 2 liter bottle of soda free if I wanted to pick it out. At that point I took the pizza and left. First had they been more realistic on the actual time to get a pizza I would have asked for a refund and left. If it is 20 minutes then say it is twenty minutes. They should have given my the pizza for free to keep a customer but instead the manager couldn’t even take the time to apologize in person and shuffled it off to the poor kid at the register who was taking the brunt from other dissatisfied customers. The one good thing about RI is there are plenty of alternatives.

We have always had a great experience, here! Friendly, fast service and delicious food. The delivery guy actually said, tonight, «This is still really hot! Please be careful.» What?! :)

Very disappointing service and mediocre pizza. I’ve given them two times to get their act together, and both times have been a hose up. The first time I placed an order, everything turned out ok. The pizza is ho-​hum, but for convenience sake, I ordered from them a second time. They delivered the pizza and salad within the advised time, but no caesar dressing for the caesar salad. I called to complain and they apologized, giving me a $ 5 credit on my next order. So I thought I’d give it one more try. Tonight (a Monday evening, no weather issues) I ordered a pizza at 735pm. It finally showed up, luke warm (cheese was congealed – ewwww.) That was the last straw. There are so many other pizza places with better pizza and more customer focused. No more for me at this place.

Disappointing. I am staying at one of the nearby hotels for the night, and after doing errands all day, I thought «hmmm… go out to eat, bring something back to the hotel, get something at Stop & Shop, or maybe Papa Gino’s??». Sadly, I chose Papa Gino’s.
Almost 6 bucks for two slices which had practically no taste, and the lure of PG’s is the sweet sauce that all of us New Englanders have grown to love (when we crave it). What a waste.
Came back to the hotel and wolfed down the free cookies they had at the front desk which were so much better…

Not worth the painfully long wait! It takes them over 40 minutes to make sub pare pizza and then you find out they screwed up your order. Save yourself and your time and go somewhere else!

My boyfriend and I decided to go to Papa Gino’s for our first anniversary to celebrate, I know it’s not a romantic lunch, that’s ok that didn’t bother us, we are not married we are just a couple that love each other. Anyways, he ordered a cheese burger and fries and I had the turkey club and it was fresh, the bacon was nice and crispy the way I like it. Also, we really enjoy our lunch with no complaints and it’s inexpensive. Also, the ladies that worked there said good by to us and have a great day, they were so nice. I know we will be going back there again.

I used to go to Papa Gino’s a lot when I was in college and they put one on campus. It was fast, easy, and inexpensive. Was it the best pizza ever? Definitely not, but at the same time, it scratched an itch.
Fast forward 20 or so years and it seems to be the same now as it was then.
I stopped by this particular location while out running errands in Warwick because I had that itch and I also had a coupon for two slices and a medium soda for $ 4. The place wasn’t too busy, it was clean and bright, and the staff was friendly and efficient. My slices came out fairly quickly and were piping hot. Again, not the best pizza ever, but definitely not the worst.
Would I stop in again to satisfy a craving? I’m not so sure as the two slice lunch looks to be normally over $ 6 and I can get two slices and a soda at Pier Pizza for $ 5 (yes, I am that cheap sometimes), and I think Pier’s is definitely superior (also bigger slices). But if I had another coupon and was in the area, I wouldn’t rule it out.

My wife and I have been going here since June of 2012 when we moved here
from the Boston area. We really like the Rustic Pizza which is their thin crust.
The only problem is it only comes in extra large, so there is a lot left over, but we
put the leftovers in the freezer, and it’s just as good re-​heated.

Coming from Chicago, I have a bigger expectation of how my pizza tastes… Papa Gino’s is a delicious thin crust. I like to order for pick up anytime I’m in town visiting. The sauce and dough are both made well. Eat it hot for best results!

The pizza of my youth.
Sometimes I have a taste for Papa Gino’s. I has been years since I’ve had a slice. I like the sauce — maybe hints of oregano in it? Also, the crust is covered in corn meal.
I got the two slice lunch special. The pizza was ready in 10 minutes.
It hit the spot!

Slowest Papa Gino’s ever took over 35 min to make our pizza. No one knows what they are doing!
