Ok. I'm a PG fan. This location is the only Papa Ginos location left in the state of Connecticut. It is a shining beacon inside the rotting corpse known as the East View Mall. I hope this location doesn't meet its demise as a result. This is a solid PG location. Great service, clean updated interior. They even brought the food to the table which I didn't think they did. Food was brought out freshly prepared and piping hot. It was as delicious as expected. Quality, fast-casual pizza, pasta and sandwiches. read more

Papa Gino's Pizzeria - Clean, updated seating area. - Pizza Near Me - Willimantic, Connecticut

Papa Gino's in charlton ma 01507 Was closed when I arrived, I waited patiently, there was one person in front of me he ordered then so did I. I ordered a small steak #9, I waited fifteen 15 minutes for it to be done, they had to remake it Cato didn't want mushrooms. There was only one cook on that station, slow as all hell, now let's talk about the taste, bland, no flavor no salt no pepper, the onions and peppers combined couldn't bring this blend item to life, never again, I'm looking for a jersey Mike's now! read more

Not enough cheese and they didn't shred the steak while cooking it .. fries could of cooked a little longer

Slice of combo pizza from this place was okay. Loved the crust and cheese. But the toppings were not very generous. 4 stars because I am @ Ax and happy I am flying back home and needed a bite before boarding! read more

OMG. I have met the best and the BIGGEST lobster roll of all time. I. Am. So. HAPPY! Gracious staff, truly exceptional meal. The bun was soft and fresh and toasty and the filling was heavenly. Huge chunks of tasty delectable lobster and virtually nothing else. As it should be, the lobster was the star of the show. Today is my 70th birthday. I travelled from my home in Northern California to do two things: shop the Brimfield flea market...and find the best lobster roll EVER! Two bucket items DONE!!! Thank youLobster Roll read more

Ahhh Papa GIno's ( now serving d'Angelo's brand grinder also ) Long gone are the days of caldor and the east brook malls glory days. Grabbing a slice of pie and heading to the back to play videos games while your mom and dad shopped at radio shack and puppy love. 30/40 years gone now ... yet this papa ginos remains In a landscape literally littered with pizza shops This place remains.. Every other papa ginos in Connecticut has closed due to downsizing - see citation below ! Yet ... this one remains Giving back ? Yes - hundreds of high school and college kids made a good living working here during summers Locally owned ? Yes this is a franchised establishment ( I've been told ) To sum up I hope I die before something happens to this place On September 18, 2018, Bunker Hill Capital Partners ended their investment with PGHC Holdings.[8] On November 4, 2018, dozens of Papa Gino's locations closed abruptly, including their only location in Maine, at the Auburn Mall. Bringing the chain from over 150 locations to 97. And yet .. this one survived read more

On 5/22/22 we had a birthday party for my grand daughter and several parents. The many pizzas, chicken fingers and fries were all hot and served exactly on time! The pizza was excellent!! The food lived up to the long tradition of great tasting New England (maybe Boston) flavor! BY FAR the best part of the day was the staff!! They assured us everything would be ready and it was!! They were all so friendly and helpful!! Great crew!! If you are looking for place for a pizza party, look no further, Papa's is the place!! Thank you for a great day!! read more

Recent convert as I work close by. Pizza is greasy and a little pricy but delicious! They also provide plates and napkins if you ask which is helpful if eating at work. Will keep ordering! read more

they don't give rance ever time you pay for it service was good tho and the food was good to but no rance

Quick and easy sure... and it's not horrendous pricing but you can definitely do better. Kind of greasy, a bit stale, and unfortunately a weak location. read more

I don't understand why on your online order so they put comment so you can add anything you would like done or special to your order if they dont so it they will literally skip and do what they want to do that means not what you write in your comment i stopped ordering here And my son asked to get papa ginos Gave it a try not again Bunch of kids talking and talking not paying attention to the orders or comments read more

Fabulous service and food! Had my granddaughters birthday here and they were very accommodating!

I don't know if they change cooks, but the food is awful, to many people standing around, never getting the order right. To bad, I like them before we went to see the movie.. get better cook! read more

After a couple hours of playing Double Dragon at Yummies Ice Cream Shop at the East Brook Mall, I would get an hunkering for some thin crust, fast pizza. Ok, that of may been when I was like 10 years old, but you can still go back and the same consistent great pizza will always be there to greet you. Some true die hard NY pizza fans may scoff at this fast food version of the thin crust. But, when you add a bit of nostalgia, and a dash of hot chili pepper flakes, this stuff is close to being the best slice, without all the pretentious flare. read more

I really like this pizza. BUT, this Papa Gino's will not get more than two stars from me until they equip their store with a recycle bin in which to throw the recyclable cups, which they DO supply. Those cups are marked with a numbered recycle symbol. Please Papa Gino's, catch up with the responsible world of recycling. Thanks. read more

THE BEST CHAIN RESTAURANT. I'm not saying just the best pizza chain restaurant, I am saying the best chain restaurant. I have been coming here since I was a kid so I could say I have been enjoying this pizza for almost 20 years. They have amazing thin crust pizza along with their delicous pockets. Treat yourself to a lobster roll on a buttery hot dog roll in the summer. Even there 1,400 calorie sausage and peppers panini is to die for! read more

I used to love the steak and cheese. Now, after they have been suffering financial problems and closed many locations, it appears they have found another cost cutting strategy. In addition to a slightly smaller roll and less meat, the roll is now one of those soft, highly processed, light "wonder bread" type of products we all abandoned in the 1970's. Now, it is hardly worth purchasing at all. Sadly, we will now take our business elsewhere. We wouldn't have minded if the used a more expensive and better roll and raised the price yet we can't accept a "kid's worst school lunch nightmare" product in something we pay for. Sad. read more

The pizza is still fantastic but the continuously shrinking pies, former large is now xtra large, etc., for much more money, and the puzzling high cost make it a lesser choice now. read more

Papa Gino's IMO is the best chain pizza joint out there. Nice thin chewy crust. It's never crispy which I hate. Perfect sauce and cheese. I have been eating here since I was 5 or so, so about 22 yrs. This particular Papa Ginos is getting 5 stars. It must be the oven but this location is by far the best one. The pizza just tastes different at all the other locations. While still good if u want great papa ginos u have to go to the Eastbrook Mall on the willimantic/Mansfield line. They uses to do all u can eat pizza on Tuesdays or wednesdays. Not sure if they still do but that was a nice deal. Can't go wrong with 2 slices and a root beer if your down there ! read more

Always loved going here for the foot long hot dogs & fries. Tonight went in around 6 p.m. and there were 2 other tables occupied. A mom with her 8 yr old son - and a couple with an infant & toddler. We ordered and waited 20 min and still no food - I saw my husbands steak sub just sitting there so I said I'd take that while it's hot & I waited another 10 minutes for a hot dog & fries. 4 women and 2 men working behind the counter. 2 guys came in later to pick up more orders to go. The mom with her son were still waiting for their food AFTER we got ours. She was there before us!! Perhaps if the staff had put their phones away they might have been able to get the food out in a more timely manner. No reason for the delay ~ no apology for the food not coming out together. It will be quite a while before I venture back there. If management doesn't give a damn ~ I won't either. Perhaps if management did their job ~ these kinds of things wouldn't happen. read more

I ordered online and was told my order would be delivered in approximately 30 minutes. Just over 45 minutes after I placed my order and it still hadn't arrived, I called the store to check on my order. I was told the driver had another stop before me but was on his way. Ten minutes later, the driver called me to clarify my address as for some reason, the point of sale system had added an old apartment number to my address on the receipt, even though this wasn't entered or visible online. He arrived maybe 2 minutes later, and just stood outside the door for 2-3 minutes without knocking or ringing the doorbell. I went out and signed the credit card receipt and brought the pizza in, only to open it up and find that it was cold. Overall a very disappointing experience. read more
