Obadiah P.Obadiah Poundage: The sausage pizza is a hubcap-sized disc of sausage in a deep dish pizza. Do not contemplate buying anything else. And grab a craft beer, you've got a 45-minute wait at least.

Collin V.Collin Vold: Great local beers on tap to hold you over for the long wait. Worth every second.

Kim M.Kim Marks: So in addition to having the best pizza, Gino's has stepped up the craft beer menu a bit. 5 locals on tap and about 20 decent bottles to choose from. Nicely done.

Graylyn R.Graylyn Roose: The chicken tikka tacos are my favorite, with the falafel tacos not far behind! Lots of space and great for groups, and a decent local beer selection too. What more could you want from a taco place?

TheOutOfTownerTheOutOfTowner: The Elote corn, Cuban pig were great. Would skip the tikka chicken taco. They have local craft beers and fun drinks. The seating isn’t the most comfortable, it’s social & makes for a great quick meal

Sarah S.Sarah Smith: I really enjoyed the shrimp and grits taco! The rotisserie chicken taco could have had a little more seasoning. Margs are also not too sweet just right!
