I remember this location being a lot better when I was younger. Perhaps a life of nostalgia is a life viewed through rose colored glasses? Anyways, It's still your regular Papa Ginos. Still offer all the running specials, and they are never one of those locations that "doesn't participate" in coupon deals. What I do like Heavily staffed on busy nights - Friday/Saturday inHolden and there ain't much else to do around so everyone comes in to grab take out. Its also one of the few delivery places in town so I imagine they can get somewhat backed up., yet they still maintain. Friendly Staff. I've always been on the phone and in person with the most courteous of staff members, old and young, men and women. Good attitude spreads folks.. so thank you for that! They still have a Jukebox. Yes they do! and I believe a claw machine - but don't even get me started on how much of a waste of money those things are. What I don't like I've asked for extra cheese a couple times and I get charged for it but it really doesn't seem like extra cheese... like unless the guy making the pizza has REALLY tiny hands. The heater for pickup food may need to be replaced. I've picked up pizzas a couple times and RIGHT on time to notice that it isn't all that hot, and sadly lukewarm by the time I get home. The fried ravioli are a tad crispy for my liking, but still good. I'm not going to stop giving this location my business, because sadly the one closer to me has failed multiple times at any attempt to regain mine , and a friendly face when I go pick it up makes me more apt to revisit. read more

The pizza is dry and lacks taste. My order was incomplete and incorrect. Missing brownie. They refused to refund me because that meant refunding the entire order. Sandwich was also missing honey mustard. I grew up on this pizza, but today was my last order. read more

The crew on the night shift can't even take a correct order in person. On top of that, cashier explaining to cook what the order says.

I'm sorry to have to give this place a 2 but I tried my best to give it a shot. It looks like a lot of high school kids work here so l give it some slack however after tonight I can't anymore. We had pizza from here once in a while as I enjoy papa gino's and my family likes Dominos. The pizza is always fine no issues but picking it up is always a nightmare. Add 20-40 minutes onto whatever they tell you for a pick up time. It's just chaos in there. So naturally ....they have a hard time doing just pizzas so they would obviously turn into a dominos/ deangelo's now as they didn't already have a hard enough time with pizza. I mean it's only been a month or two since they started doing subs so maybe they'll get better. But both times i've ordered it's been 30 minutes later then the given pick up time. And both orders have been messed up, forgetting cheese one time and forgetting lettuce on one and hot peppers on the other tonight. See my wives sandwich from tonight. Like I said it's all kids working here so I'm not going to trash the place..they're trying and I'll give it a shot in another month or two and see if they got better. I would just recommend anyone ordering to avoid at all cost going there on a friday or weekend as they have a hard time even on a tuesday. It must be atleast an hour or two for orders on the weekend. I will say even though my #9 was missing my hot peppers it tasted like a #9 and atleast this place is better than the location on Lincoln Street in dirty Woo read more

Papa Gino's - the vermonter forgot the lettuce tonight and forgot the cheese last week - Pizza Near Me - Holden, Massachusetts

Hit or miss if they complete you order right. Even if it's a basic order. .

The last time I knew I wanted I loved Papa Gino's was when I was like, seven, and that probably wasn't my most objective period of food critiquing. That said, this Papa's slaps, and it brings me back to that devious nostalgia. Same zesty, pepper-heavy sauce, great chewy crust with a generous amount of semolina in it, and mozzarella sticks filled with cheese. The management here is awesome and helped resolve a question I had about my order, the drivers are always friendly, and I'm shocked at how satisfying a cheese pizza is, time and time again. Thrilled to rediscover this old classic. read more

Pretty disappointed, I ordered boneless wings on the app. Ready for pickup at 11:54 it's now 12:21. I left without my food I won't be back here again read more

Haven't reviewed a place in a while but I ordered a large pepperoni pizza 30 min ago... No one in here but me, saw 3 pizzas for to go orders. My pizza JUST went into the oven. 30 min after I ordered. Place is managed horribly, zero work ethic. Pizza took 5 min to cook. What took so long to make it? Been watching staff just talking and doing nothing. read more

Good food, the workers are great (the young ones) but the management needs to go. Hire better management. Rude, cussing, unproffesional. The young kids that work here were very nice though and they actually cared. read more

So, I know pizza, and I certainly know Holden Papa Gino's. We would go there every Sunday when the kids were young. We stopped there tonight on our way home from a hockey game. We ordered two small pizzas, a small fry, a soda, and a water. The bill came to $45, which seemed kinda high, but everything seems to cost more these days. After waiting a long time for our order, I went up to the counter. The young man who took our order was nowhere in sight. I looked over to where the pizzas come out and there were our pizzas, sitting in a box, waiting to be sliced. By this time two girls came in to start their shift and stood in a group chatting with the other employees. There were more employees than there were customers. Finally they guy who waited on us appeared. But rather then slice up my pizzas he stood there chatting it up with the group of employees who were still laughing it up. I yelled out to them asking if anyone was going to get my pizzas ready. Someone replied, "they should be ready." The guy who sliced our pizzas was not in good shape. He had a hard time using the pizza slicer, and both pizzas had a couple of large slices and several tiny slices. Not only that, he couldn't even figure out how to close the boxes! Then he said, "your fries are sitting over here, nice and hot. When I brought the stuff to the table I could tell the fries were cold. We each ate 2 slices, and after fixing the boxes so that they could be closed, we left. My wife commented that all of the employees had consumed too many gummies. I couldn't disagree with her assessment. Needless to say, I will not be going back to this Papa Gino's, it's terrible. Definitely not worth the money! read more

Every time I have this delivered, they mess up my order. Just ordered a large veggie sub with cheese and received a pocket with no cheese. Last time they dropped off the wrong order. The time before that they forgot my drink, yet I paid for it. You think I'd have learned. Well no more. read more

We love Papa Gino's but when they tell you 20 minutes takes over an hour - that's a problem.

I emailed corporate to give them a chance and avoid posting a bad review. They chose not to respond so here we are. When you pay $22 for ONE pizza, you'd expect to get your money's worth of the toppings you paid an arm and a leg for. But, nope. They threw this beauty together and said f-it. read more

Papa Gino's - Lazily made and thievery on their part - Pizza Near Me - Holden, Massachusetts

Great pizza! The app didn't display an accurate pickup time so we had to wait for ten minutes when we arrived for the pizza to finish cooking, but Papa Gino's has a great buffalo chicken pizza that was well worth the wait. Thanks guys! read more

Last couple times I went the pizza had no sauce and basically little toppings. Figured I give them one last chance. I ordered meat lovers with EXTRA sauce. 2/3's of the pizza had no toppings. I couldn't see any sauce on it - I peeled back the cheese and basically the crust was a pink colors from the light amount of sauce they put on. I noticed too that most pizzas are slightly undercooked too - you won't find any char marks on those pizza. I brought it back and asked for a refund. No "I'm sorry". Nothing. Keep cutting corners - I won't be back. Way to many other pizza joints in my radius. read more

I just ordered a buffalo chicken pizza which is usually decent... Imagine if someone took a buffalo chicken pizza and poured a gallon of fucking expired blue cheese on it and then threw it down the stairs. I can smell the blue cheese from my driveway. What are you guys doing??? It honestly looks like a buffalo chicken pizza was thrown into a blender and then tossed against a window then ran over by a truck. Sincerely, Disappointed read more

Papa Gino's - Pizza Near Me - Holden, Massachusetts

Covid or not. Just waited over an hour and a half for a cheese pizza and fries and the delivery driver dropped this off. Easily the hardest and coldest pizza I've ever had in my entire life. Place is a joke. Guess I'll order dominos. read more

Papa Gino's - Garbage - Pizza Near Me - Holden, Massachusetts

Stay FAR AWAY! Wrong orders, unprofessional, pick up times completely wrong every time. They should close this place, it's a shame.

Stupid place! I got in 5 minutes before my order was ready and was told to wait . So I stood there in plain sight in front of the cashier smiling and waiting. After 20 minutes I took one step forward and asked what was the status of my order. They then took it out of their cabinet that keeps it warm and claimed they had called out my name! Like H... they did! Disrespectful of me and my time! I won't pick up from there and I certainly won't order deliver from here either after their delivery guy added a $12 tip to the bill where we already had added the standardized community tip! DON'T BUY THEIR FOOD!! read more

We stopped for Papa Burgers Friday and found a few changes. The place looks, good. They have added TV's all over the place and that is where the good changes stop. It also appears to be a new crew and they definitely need help. I ordered a Papa Burger with Fries and the kids at the register looked it up and told me there was no such item. I repeated myself asking for a Classic Papa Burger and Fries and he still could not find it. At this point I checked the menu board and apparently they name has changed. He added it as a burger with special sauce. We paid and sat down for what seemed like forever and when the food arrived it was missing the fries. When we asked about them he checked and apparently the ticket did not say fries so we were not getting any. You would think that after asking for them twice and the mistake being on their end we would be offered even one order. This is the second time in a month we have been and the last time was no better, one pizza was burned and had to be redone and I waited additional 20 minutes past the pickup time to even get the order. Not sure we will be visiting this location any time soon. We normally only get our pizza from Papa Gino's but I will find another one. read more

Had a shared half cheese & BBQ chicken Pizza pie with Junior. The cheese was very thin layered but, the sauce and bread was decent. The menu has a variety compared to most pizza places. Decent prices. The cashiers was nice. The place is neat. read more

Papa Gino's - Pizza Near Me - Holden, Massachusetts

Went there for lunch at noon today, wait in line was brief, but getting my order took almost 10 minutes for a slice and a salad! I guess they had to make the salad from scratch, but someone who came in after me got her order done ahead of mine! On top of that, it wasn't even a fresh hot cheese slice, but instead one made earlier and sitting under a heat lamp. And the "fresh made" salad was nothing to write home about, either. I know not to expect too much from PGs, but a long wait for lukewarm pizza should never happen. read more

Absolutely terrible service. I ordered online and got a 35 minute estimate for pick-up. I got there 35 minutes later and was told it would be "15 minutes or so". I went and got gas, and made a phone call. I came back 20 minutes later. I was told my pizzas were the next to go in the oven. It was not busy. The manager was off in the corner making pizzas like he was a surly teenager having to do chores instead of playing video games. It was a pathetic showing for sure. I got a refund and ordered from Domino's from the Papa Gino's parking lot. This is the second time this has happened. Seeing that I've only been to this restaurant three times, I think I've had enough. If you want to actually eat, you should consider going to a place where the people working are willing to make you food. The Domino's in Holden had my pizzas ready in 10 minutes and were a lot busier. Pizza 17 will tell you if there's a wait, and has much better food. There are plenty of better choices in Holden. read more

Uncanny poor service, manager was surprisingly rude. Waited 35 minutes for a small pizza, only to open the box in my work truck and it not even be cut at all. Papa Janks. read more

Thank you Emily the manager for refusing to take or honor a coupon , as I presented my coupon , she just simply stated , it's for Saturday only " no where did it say that on the coupon , maybe Emily doesn't realize that there are lots of pizza places in Holden and on a Friday night with two customers seated clearly people are going else were , papa Gino's you need a new manager read more

Update: Papa Ginos Holden is now offering a special on certain week days where you can get either cheese or peperroni pizza, or a pasta dish, or another type of entry...it's all you can eat, but you order one item at a time. It's a great deal and I believe although it was orignally only offered at lunch time or afternoon, that it now also includes dinner time. Please check with them for correct days and times. This is a great deal and is a low cost for all you can eat. ============================= OK, a Papa Gino's is a Papa Gino's This one, however is cleaner than most. The staff are always pleasant. proressional and helpful. I like the huge table om tje bacl mext tp the large picture window. Good place for a moderately priced family dinner. The soft drinks are endless refill so just order a kid's size cup for everyone and just keep refilling it. (for the frugal among us) Papa Gino's offers coupons online so if that interests you you can sign up online. You can also order online and pick up. They offer birthday parties for young children in which the birthday child gets to make his/her own pizza. Double check on this as this may be old info. Not sure if they still offern birthday parties. Some Papa Ginos do have a kids night, check with each one. Nice parking lot; you don't have to park on the street One warning: if you go here for dinner it can be very difficult to turn left and go back towards the Library and the light in the intersection between Resevoir St and Rt 122A. Lots of traffic and you may have to wait awhile upon leaving. I suggest you turn right and find somewhere else to safely turn around if you are headed back towards Rutland direction. Plenty of free parking, a nice machine for kids, and sometimes they used to offer coloring for kids, I'm not sure if they still do, or not. Great place for a family with kids and also makes a nice date. read more

The pizzas have been just covered in sauce lately. Today our cheese pizza had a heavy layer of sauce and hardly any cheese. The thrill is gone with this location. Will find another. read more

Although the food doesn't vary much from chain to chain, this location is outstanding in both service and cleanliness. The staff are especially friendly and bring your food right out to your table, a nice touch that not every Papa's does. My kids love the high level seating in the back, and even they commented on how nice this location was compared to others (they are 7!) We're happy to make this Papa Ginos part of our regular routine. read more

Best pizza place ever the delivery guy is so nice and the prices are not that high but they are a little bit GREAT PLACE

I love papa Gino's!! This past weekend I went there with my family for dinner, and I don't know what was going on with the cashier, but they only rang up half of the order. I had ordered something for my little boy to take to daycare the next day, and specifically asked for it to go, as he would not be eating it at that time. It was not put to go, and my little one thought he could have double the food. He's a toddler ya know they don't know. I had a strange order, I totally understand that my order is not the easiest. It's also not that difficult to understand either. The cashier over charged me for my meal, saying that I had extra food, when I really didn't have extra, I just needed something a little bit different. My brother got all you can eat pizza, and waited 10 minutes before they realized that they had no pizza for him. Was just overall a bad experience. The staff acted totally incompetent. We have always had a great time at Papa Gino's, great time great food, my opinion has slightly changed after this last visit. read more

Food is consistent, but ordering and getting your order is chaotic at best. 10 minute wait (ordered on phone) turned into 40 minute wait.

This papa ginos is very good. It's fast, fresh, and very good tasting. I can't think of one bad thing about it.
