    Pizza, chicken, and potatoes
    Andrew P.

    If you're looking for a warm, welcoming spot to gather with family and friends, Gina's is it. Housed in a former Shakey's, this family-owned restaurant keeps the same nostalgic format - pizza, mojos, fried chicken - but with a personal touch that makes it feel like a real pre-COVID family restaurant. The food hits the spot: the crust on the pizza is perfectly crisp and flavorful, and the mojos are tender and golden - exactly what you'd hope for. It's comforting, fun food done right. What really sets this place apart, though, is the attentive service. We got to meet Gina herself, and she was so warm, friendly, and genuinely eager to make sure we felt at home. It's rare these days to see that kind of hospitality. Whether you're reliving childhood memories or just looking for a relaxed place to enjoy good food with good company, Gina's is worth the visit. Support this standout - you'll leave full and smiling.

    My family and I tried Gina's on a whim tonight. We always pass by and finally decided to give it a go. I'm so happy we did! We ordered their medium pizza deal that came with chicken and mojo-like potatoes and everything was made to order, delicious, and fresh--the quality of everything was impressive! My family and I all agreed that everything was seasoned to perfection as well. Nothing was salty and we didn't feel bloated afterwards like one would typically feel after eating "heavy" foods. Another thing I can not rave enough about is the owner, Gina. She is beyond kind and friendly, she has such a warm and inviting presence. Talking with her, you can tell she absolutely loves what she does, loves to be hospitable, and prides herself on the quality of the ingredients they use--It all shines through in her restaurant! Absolutely love this place and we will continue to be returning customers and tell everyone we know to check out this place!

    Potato's, pizza and chicken

    This place is a unlabeled Shakeys, and the food is exactly how you remember it. The chicken is fresh and so are the potatoes. It always feels like you're being transported about ten years back because the food is so nostalgic. The service is excellent and Gina is always so kind. My family came with a large group and they were beyond accommodating. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I will warn you it's not cheap pizza but it is good. Good place to bring the kids and the food just takes ya back. The parking lot is a good size and it's rare you won't find a spot. Definitely a local gem that doesn't get enough recognition. Will most definitely be coming back but I am not local so it's a treat when I do end up here.

    Pepperoni and jalapeno pan thick crust pizza
    Fernando G.

    Formerly Shakey's Pizza Visit Date & Time: We visited on Friday, July 18th around 6:00 p.m. Food: We ordered the pepperoni with jalapeño pan thick crust pizza -- the crust was soft and delicious, perfectly complementing the spicy jalapeños. The fresh, deep-fried chicken was mouthwatering, and the generous mojo potatoes were crispy and flavorful. With a couple of fountain sodas and two beers, our total came to $102.58 -- a fair price for the hearty portions and satisfying flavors. Service: The service was prompt, friendly, and welcoming. Gina clearly knows the community and brings a personal touch that makes you feel right at home. Location & Atmosphere: Gina's is situated just west of Benson on the south side of Holt Boulevard in Montclair, offering a strong foundation for the community. Overall Impression: Gina's Pizza & Chicken delivers classic, delicious comfort food with genuine hospitality. The food and service more than make up for any other considerations. I truly hope Gina's continues to grow and thrive as a beloved community staple.

    Food: delicious. You will crave more. Pizza thin crust what the perfect crunch with the right amount of toppings. Potatoes- forget about it- so good felt guilty dipping in ketchup. Service: owner is super friendly. Greats all her customers and also thanks them when leaving. She makes you feel welcomed and at home. All other staff members share the same great attitude. Place is very clean with nice amount of parking and easy to find.

    Fresh and tasty pizza

They have a Pickle Pizza (don't knock it 'til you try it) that is just out of this world! I honestly haven't had anything bad there. They also have a decent selection of beers to choose from, in case wine isn't your thing. There is both indoor and outdoor seating for whatever your preference is. The patio is well-covered, so if anyone is trying to stay out of the sun, they've thought of that. Kelly took care of my friend and I, as we decided to go to Claremont instead of braving the crowds at The Upland Lemon Festival this past Sunday. Kelly was an absolute ray of sunshine and took great care of us. We spent a good amount of the afternoon chilling on their patio sipping on Sangiovese, and snacking on the Corn & Tortilla Dip, as well as the Pork Belly appetizer. All were wonderful! NOTE: For the next month or two, their menu will be slightly limited, as they are renovating their kitchen. There's still PLENTY of great stuff to choose from and enjoy, though.

Omar the bartender is still as wonderful as Day One. I was finally able to figure out his last name. (It wasn't given out willingly and he made me guess after dropping a single hint). Will be on my way to collect my free bottle of wine for the month of June. Grafted Cellars is such a lovely place. I've met new friends as well as reunited with old ones. So glad I've found a place to be able to call "my hangout".

    Went to this cute little place today in Claremont because we were specifically looking for a…read morewoodfired pizza. They've got indoor and outdoor seating and they seemed a touch understaffed for being a beautiful day. It was also a Tuesday lunchtime so maybe they weren't expecting it to be as busy as it was. We were able to prove the menu before we got seated. And our super friendly server came out and we were able to order right away. They've got a lunch special. That is a small personal pizza with a salad and we each got that. Salads came out first and I had the arugula salad, which was absolutely phenomenal. 10 of 10 would eat this every single day. The arugula was peppery and it was well dressed in a lemon vinaigrette type sauce. I am a fan of just plain lemon on mine, but this was delicious. My husband got a union salad, which is their specialty I guess. It's got colored carrots and some beets and some shallots. I thought the dressing was bland and it certainly needed salt and pepper. We asked for both and didn't get either. Our pieces came out and they were nice and woodfired. I feel like they could've been done just a little bit longer maybe a minute or two. The sauce was a lovely fresh type crushed tomato sauce. The cheese was nice and gooey and did not feel or taste like a package of processed cheese. Pepperonis were greasy, but in a real meat kind of way. I had to dab mine, but my husband just went to town on his. The pickled peppers is a pickled jalapeño. Big chunks of them. They certainly didn't skimp on any of the toppings. They were a little sweet and a little hot. Some of the big chunks were a little too sweet for my liking but overall, it was a nice flavor mix Also from a size standpoint, I thought the salad and pizza were very adequate for lunch at around $20 price point I asked for salt and pepper again as well as a side of ranch. This time we did get the salt and pepper as well as cheese and crushed red pepper. But we didn't get the ranch until we were leaving. The server did apologize and said he thought someone else was bringing it out but I pretty much deducted a star because we asked for a couple different things that never came. Overall, the service was super friendly, the ambience was nice for an outdoor lunch thought. I thought the menu looked delicious and there were several things I would like to come back and try and I would go back again.

It was so underwhelming. 2 eggs cooked differently, one over hard, one over easy, 5-6 potato pieces and the steak was thin, overcooked, and appeared to be a cheap cut of meat. A New York cut would have been great. Wife mentioned norms has better steak and eggs. Called and spoke with a manager Stephanie, not looking for anything, but to express disappointment in the meal for the high price. She offered to mail a gift card for us and invited us back. Took all of my information and never received it. Thanks anyway. Don't think we'll be back.

A friend and I ordered the Bee Kind pizza on their Mini Monday special which is a 6x6 Detroit style pizza, a side of onion rings, and a couple of IPAs to wash it all down with. I've never had Detroit style pizza mainly because it never really interested me (not a fan of thick doughy pizza) and I already know based on the "real" Detroit style pizzas that I've seen, this isn't that. In fact, it was thinner than I expected but no complaints here. Anyway, it was absolutely bangin'. Big bold flavors that jump out and is very rich. This pizza satisfied my craving for SURE. The 6x6 sounded a lot bigger on paper, but it was actually pretty small when it came out. It's a good snack for 2 people, but for 1 person it would definitely be filling. Their onion rings were FIRE. Seriously. Some of the best onion rings I've had in a long time. Very well seasoned breading and perfectly cooked. The breading was crispy, but not crunchy. I love craggly, thick onion rings, but sometimes those do a number on the roof of your mouth. These? I could eat 'em all day. Service was great although it did kinda take a little too long for the food to come out, but I guess it was worth the wait. I love the inside of the space too. It's an old building with some character to it. I will definitely be back!
