This past Labor Day weekend 3 friends and I went to long beach and dined at Gino's for the first time. There isn't enough greatness I can express with our overall dining experience. For starters - the service was beyond excellent and our server couldn't have been more knowledgeable about the entire menu and helpful with the pairing of the wines with both our appetizers & our entrees. He was on point with everything. Now the food- from the pizza to the capellini cakes to my entree which was the Stuffed Rigatoni Julianna. This was hands down the best Italian food I've ever had as well as any experience I've ever had at any restaurant - FIVE STARS for outstanding service, exquisite food & wine & overall atmosphere and ambience. read more

Gino's Long Beach - Italian Near Me - Long Beach, New York

Dined here once before with my family and food was good. Went tonight and observed a maggot crawling across the table. Notified wait staff and they cleaned the table. My wife then noticed maggots in the salad! Absolutely disgusting! The salad was removed from the bill and bottle of wine that we ordered were comped yet they still wanted us to pay for the other items ?!? No manager came to check on the table not that it would have done anything. Waitress claimed all the salad was thrown away but we noticed salads come out of the kitchen right after that . Never eating here again read more

I always used to come here in the summer. The food here is awesome! Its so tasty and the staff is nice. The only downside is that the pizzeria gets really crowded which gets annoying read more

A bit disappointed, as my friends promised me the best pizza in all of Long Beach. Based on the fact this is the ONLY pizza I've consumed in Long Beach, with nothing else to compare it to, yes. My friends are correct. However, I've had much better pizza in general. They've talked about it in the past as though it's a religious experience. I was thinking, "Okay. This could use a bit more mozzarella, actually,and I have yet to see any shining deities surrounding me..." Crowded with beach goers and locals alike, good luck finding a seat, especially come dinner time. My friends and I were relegated to getting our orders to go and eating them on a bench inside of a parking garage. (Yes. Space IS at a premium...) My slice, the Gramdma Slice, is a typical margherita slice, square - cut with a fantastic thick and crunchy crust to aptly hold up all of the toppings. The tomato sauce was good, alas, the rest was dotted with sparsely placed pieces of fresh mozzarella and a random basil leaf. Presentation was definitely lacking, but it was a tasty enough morsel. The Fettuccine Alfredo was a bit addicting, I am happy to report. I suppose my search for Long Beach's absolute best pizza will continue on my next trip back... read more

BEST ITALIAN RESTAURANT! Ginos is a local favorite, but forget the pizza and go to the restaurant part, the food is awesome! Order the baked clams!! read more

Great food and service ! I have had and enjoyed chicken and shrimp parmigiana. Pizza and salads are good as well.

Came here today because the boardwalk food looks bland. Gino's is a block or two from the ocean and right near an Italian ice shop. We ordered two slices of pepperoni and a spinach pinwheel-all of which were AMAZING!! I'm from jersey and this was definitely the best boardwalk pizza ice ever tasted as far as New York goes. The service was quick & efficient as well! read more

Now as a spoiled Brooklyn boy that has grown up around some of the best pizza in NY, I will have to give Gino's a great review...because it is just that...great pizza! If you are not from the area...do yourself a favor...get your ass to Long Beach. Take the LIRR and get out of the city for a day by the beach. When you arrive in Long Beach's station, simply cross Park Ave and hit up this delicious location for a sick pie! Then when you stuff your belly...walk up the block and hang out at the beach for the day. The sauce is delicious, the cheese so good, and and toppings are delicious. We had mushrooms (fresh ones, but the rubbery canned ones) and pepperoni. Both toppings were perfect! The service is great and everyone working there was nice and polite, even though it was a mad house with so much work to do. Loved it and I will be back! read more

Why must everything in Long Beach be a so over-hyped? Yet another establishment that rides the coattails of a reputation it doesn't deliver on, and man, is it overpriced. Anyone who thinks Gino's is what's up, has never been to Umberto's of New Hyde Park. read more

This place always had great pizza and ok dining area food. But the last time I went, there was a man behind the counter yelling at the workers. He then said "CAN I HELP YOU?" I paused for 3 seconds to decide and he rudely and abruptly turned away to help someone else. The three of us walked out and went to Sorrento's. Yelling at your workers in front of guests and not showing the slightest bit of patience with guests does not keep people coming back. read more

I'm a proud new yorker to say my first slice of pizza in my life came from this place. It was 5 stars since I was born,,,but my family doesn't go anymore since the owner past away. as time goes on...less and less stars until I see improvement, read more

My stars are for the cheese pizza. NOT THE SERVICE. Pizza was good. I have a service dog. I am a wounded veteran with an 11 year old 12 pound jack terrier. Needless to say she has a service vest decorated with my Purple Heart ribbon my desert storm ribbon and an army American flag all on a bright red vest clearly marked service dog. Well, she was not welcome at this restaurant by the manager. She has more right to be here than he says I. But oh well. Anyhow, lookin for a quaint spot with decent pizza but rude workers. Here it is. Looking for the best pizza with quality actively engaging employees then read my review on west end pizza. read more

I guess I don't understand the hype. I ordered a regular slice and a sicilian slice to eat in. The regular slice was bland; cardboard-like crust, no flavor in the sauce. The sicilian was dry and same blandness in the sauce. Employees weren't rude but also weren't the friendliest. I sometimes wonder if people think places are good because they've been brainwashed by so many people telling them so. I think this may be a good example of that. read more

Very busy place especially after a nice day at the beach. I always wanted to try a slice of their pizza and of course when I came in and saw their menu, I didn't have a slice. Oh well. Besides what I really wanted I had the manicotti with a peperoni pinwheel. Both was ok nothing to brag about. Next time I come I promised myself I will have a slice or two or three of pizza. read more

Best grandma & Sicilian slices in Long Beach, NY but do NOT order delivery or pick up from here. Only good if eaten there NOT during prime time. Look at the LIRR train schedules if you plan to eat there so it's not PACKED! read more

A lot of people rave about this place, but I gotta say, it's menza menz at best... The pizza is def nothing to write home about - the Crostino slice is prob the only thing worth going with. The heroes and dinner are also not worth bragging about. You can almost choke from all the oil in the pepperoni pinwheels. For the prices they charge, you'd expect better quality... read more

I have been coming to ginos for years and it has never disappointed. Whether it be a quick slice or sitting down for a meal I always leave satisfied. read more

We ordered dinner from Gino's tonight. The food was very good as always. The bill seemed a little high which caused me to look at the receipt. I was a little surprised to see a delivery charge of almost 2 dollars. Not a big deal I just didn't know they had a delivery charge.But what was more annoying was that there was a charge of just over three dollars for use of a credit card. Nowhere on their menu or website did I find a mention of it nor was it mentioned while on the phone when ordering. In these times of COVID cashless purchases are preferred. To me that seems deceptive. I was disappointed . In the future I'll order elsewhere. read more

They have really great sangria. All dishes are pretty spot on. I recommend the chicken francese and the rigatoni fiorentina, also the shrimp oreganata. Service is usually very good. read more

Oh man. I used to date a guy that lived in LB so I was able to taste some good food out there. That relationship didn't work out and how I (occasionally) miss the food. This is place is kind of overrated but I don't really care about that. I want pizza. I always got the grandma slice which was delicious. I ate it so much it was a part of my daily diet like water and my vitamins. The tomato sauce was just sweet enough, it had some fresh herbs and the cheese was that real mozzarella not that fake stuff. Overall if you happen to be in LB you should try it. I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon (long story for another day and time)! read more

Good pizza place in long beach. They also make Italian dinners baked ziti chicken parm etc. it's ok if you live in central long beach.

The grandma slice and vodka sauce slices are the best around! And don't forget the garlic knots! Pro tip- take the pizza to a brewery or beach nearby, you won't be disappointed! read more

Was referred to this spot by a friend. Good and fresh oven pizza! The pizza was so good I had three slices! Definitely recommend coming here! It's a nice and fancy spot to have dinner as well. read more

Right across from the Long Beach train station and a couple blocks from the beach, this is a great lunch time choice in an area w/out many. The cheese slices are very good. Crisp crust. Nice Italian spices. They've got a very good fresh mozzarella and tomato Sicilian slice as well. They are generous with the toppings as well - at least based on the sausage and pepperoni slices I've seen. The place has ample seating and you can go in beach attire. They also sell Gino's Italian Ices and Sedutto's ice cream (love the peanut butter crunch). While it would be better if the Long Beach boardwalk had more food options (more = any), I'm glad Gino's isn't too far away... read more

Delicious pizza. Super fresh. Big restaurant/space with plenty of tables to eat at. Dim lighting, as if it were meant for fine dining, which kind of threw me off. But it was clean, and the people eating there were not rowdy. A mix of regulars and kids getting off school -- it was mid-September at this point. Variety of pizza on display, and turnover was quick. I had a simple plain slice, but it was so good! Average crust -- not too thick or thin , with the perfect bite and crunch. Not overwhelmingly cheesy either. My dad's pizza had veggies and meat, and they were not stingy with either! I was jealous of his slice! They sell a lot more than just pizzas, but unfortunately I didn't get a chance to try any. On my next trip back hopefully. The staff didn't seem that friendly, but to be fair, the guy did appear frazzled or just busy, although there wasn't a line. But hey, we all have our off days. Solid place. read more

Oh Gino's, why will I never find another pizza as good as you? Living in Minnesota now, the Gino's I grew up on has pretty much set the standard for every slice I consume, and it's been a Friday night tradition in my family for quite some time. To this day, my family still orders there so much that the woman who takes take out orders recognizes my dad's voice when he phones it in. Other than the pizza, the garlic knots are a must have. They're cheap for a half dozen, and absolutely faaaaaantastic. If you're going in for sit down, their rigatoni al la vodka is great, and so are their meatballs. As for the apps, I'm not crazy about their bruschetta, but the mozzarella sticks are some fabulous fried goodness. read more

I've been coming here for years and the pizza was always absolutely delicious. it was pizza the way pizza is supposed to be. The grandma slice was fab topped with garlic-y olive oil, fresh basil leaves.. soooo damn good. It was worth going out of your way to get pizza at Gino's. But the past few years things have been different. Now the pizza is like everywhere else and the grandma slice isn't worth ordering. it is so disappointing. Staff are fast and efficient. So it's ok pizza. Meh. not bad but nothing great. It's just like every other place. I still anxiously wait in line for my pizza but when I get it, I wonder why I was so excited. I miss the old Gino's pizza. I miss the ice cream and ice cream soda counter they used to have too. read more

Great pizza. I've been having this for years and I love it. My family loves to order pies from here. There cheese pie is great and hits the spot when you want good pizzeria pizza. The spinach wheel and broccoli are pretty decent here too. read more

Whenever I escape from the city for a day at the beach I eat at Gino's. I've eaten here several times for dinner. The menu is unpretentious old-school Italian cuisine. The place is clean, the staff is nice and it is very kid friendly. For me, the best part of Gino's is that it is located right across the street from the LIRR station. As soon as we finish our meal we hop on the train and go home. read more

Service is awful, workers are extremely rude on the phone and in person... and the pizza is always raw and doughy and dripping with oil... absolutely nasty, go eat at east end or Frank's read more

There is a pizza place near where I live, and the pizza there is good. There is an italian ice place very close by. However, when I can. I make the journey across town for Ginos. The pizza here is absolutely perfect. The sicilian and grandma slices are to die for. The vanilla chip italian ice is light, delicious, and refreshing. The staff is quick, efficient, and friendly. However, it is a huge tourist spot, and in the summer, it sucks, because all of the tourists take up the whole place, and there's nowhere to sit. Also, ordering to go is nowhere near as good as ordering to stay. Still, it's delicious. Best pizza I've ever had. read more

I've stopped in here a few times for pizza which is always good, but this review is really speaking to the restaurant aspect to Gino's. I went her for lunch on a Sunday with a few people. The server was very friendly. He brought our table freshly baked Italian roles which were hot (perfect!). I ordered the minestrone soup for an appetizer. It was very light, yet filling. For an entree I ordered the salmon, which was amazing and large. It came with broccoli rabe, which had a lot of garlic in it. I really enjoyed this meal overall. I also tried the eggplant Parmesan, which very good. Overall , large portions, freshly made food and fair prices. Good for a casual meal. I did notice an undertone of garlic in all of the items I tried , which is great for me! But if you're not a garlic lover, I would tell them in advance so they can alter their preparations accordingly. read more

Ordered linguini shrimp marinara got shrimp mama Theresa. This happened twice in one week Delivery was slow and they were doing me a favor by correcting their mistake Don't order for delivery this place blows read more

Not including pork in the menu descriptions for items that contain pork? Unacceptable. The salads are good, charging $10 to add 4 shrimp to those salads? Ridiculous. Honestly, I'm pretty sure the only reason this place is so popular is because the competition is so poor. read more

Service for the to-go line was quick and the food terrific! I got a slice of caprese pizza and garlic knots which were both extremely tasty and fresh! read more

This was my first business visit to Long Island and a co-worker and I were hungry for Italian food. I checked Yelp and found that Gino's Pizzeria was only a few blocks away. The food reviews seemed consistent but the recent service reviews weren't as good. We decided to try it. At first glance from outside, we thought it was JUST a pizzeria, but there is a very nice dining room off to one side. The hostess, Danielle (it turns out that she is a family owner), was very pleasant and offered us menus to help us decide if we wanted to dine. Then Mike showed us to a table, introduced himself as our server and started to take care of us. He recommended a prix fixe menu, 3 courses for $20, part of a local restaurant promotion, and we ordered from it. My friend had the pasta fagiole soup and said it was hearty and delicious. I had the pecan salad for $1 extra and it was great. Both portions were more than we expected for staters. Then my friend had Shrimp Marinara with linguine. His plate looked amazing; the shrimp were large and the sauce color vibrant. I had the Pasta Pugliese (sp?) and it was wonderful and exactly as described. Again, both items were larger than we expected. Finally we had dessert, cannoli and tiramisu, and ordered 2 cappuccinos on the side. Once more, we were pleasantly surprised by the generous portions and more than satisfying, delicious food. As far as the service, from Danielle at the door, to Mike our sever, and the busboys who maintained or table and kept our water glasses full, it was FANTASTIC! I dine out a lot in my line of work and was very impressed with how attentive everyone was! From start to finish, we enjoyed a very pleasant, well priced and delicious meal (and we both have leftovers for lunch). After speaking with Danielle on our way out the door, we learned that Gino's has been a family owned restaurant since the 60's. I would definitely return and recommend this restaurant. read more
