I was so excited to find amazing vegan options at Uncle Gino's, and they did NOT disappoint! The vegan garlic knots were soft, fluffy, and packed with garlicky goodness. Perfectly seasoned and seriously addictive -- I could've ordered another batch! The vegan pizza was outstanding. The crust was crispy on the outside and soft inside, and the vegan cheese melted beautifully. Every bite was flavorful and satisfying without feeling heavy. And the vegan meatball sandwich was next level. The meatballs had great texture and seasoning, and the sauce tasted rich and homemade. Total comfort food -- but completely plant-based! Whether you're vegan or just trying something different, Uncle Gino's proves you don't have to sacrifice taste. Definitely coming back for more! read more

Yet another great visit here. Brought a friend and she was impressed. We got a meatball appetizer while we were waiting for the meatball/ Italian sausage pizza which was spot on as always. She said she was coming back to get a pizza and bring me one back. Uncle Gino was welcoming as usual and the visit was top notch. Do yourself a favor and get a real pizza from Gino, worth the drive. read more

Amazing pizza! Nice owner, he takes pizza seriously. Nice crust and sauce. Good price also

We ordered delivery from Uncle Gino's through the Slice app and had a great experience! Ordering was super easy, and the pizza arrived hot and fresh. The thin crust had the perfect little crunch, the sauce was flavorful, and the pepperonis were nice and crispy--just how I like it. They offer sizes ranging from small to XXL, which is great depending on your appetite or party size. We also tried the Greek salad, and even though it was just a salad, it was really good--fresh and flavorful. And the ranch! Some places have that extra special ranch, and Uncle Gino's definitely does. I'd come back just for that alone. Only downside: they didn't include any plates, but we made do. Still, everything tasted amazing. I'll definitely be ordering again! read more

Found myself in the area and used Yelp to help make my decision where to go for pizza. Ordered the Works pizza. I asked for extra crispy crust and was told they already make their pies crispy. The reason I ask for crispy crusts with my pizzas is I like to have the pieces hold up to the weight of the ingredients. The pizza I got didn't come close to doing that. I picked it up and the piece was limp and all the toppings slid off. The crust was wafer thin and very soggy possibly due to the mushrooms giving off their water content but whatever. Even if cooked further that crust wouldn't hold up. For the most part I enjoyed the pizza but was very difficult to eat. Nice little place overall. While I was there someone got a calzone that looked really good. They had Diet Coke so that's always a good sign. Friendly people. read more

Try this place if you're looking for great pizza in the Temecula area! The owner, who is from New York, came out to chat with and serve us. We got an XXL works pizza and it was huge, with generous toppings. The owner said the dough and sauce were made fresh and I could tell. The crust was a perfect thickness and the right balance between chewy and crispy. We ordered extra sauce, which was the right move. I would try their pasta dishes and more of their pizzas. It's small but there's some seating inside and outside. read more

My husband ordered the meat lovers and the barbecue chicken pizza. The barbecue chicken pizza was wet! There were puddles of sauce? Grease? I'm not sure but it was very unappetizing. The meat lovers pizza was good, but I'm not a fan of this place is sauce. It's a little too zesty for me. Just my two cents! read more

Wow!!! Ok so we just so happened to come across this place because gentle grill was closed and we were looking for vegan food while we are in town! My husband says VEGAN PIZZA!!! So obviously we had to try! Everything is SOOOOO GOOD!!! We got a pizza with vegan pepperoni and sausage ! It's amazing! We also got a vegan meatball calzone that is so freaking HUGE and delicious ! We also got vegan spaghetti with meatballs for our kids and they loved it!! The nice guy working/possible owner also hooked us up with some of the best garlic bread I've ever had !!! Sad that we discovered this place on our way back home! An absolute must try if you're vegan or otherwise read more

Vegan? Well....YES!!! I was surprised to find that they have Vegan pizza, sandwiches and spaghetti. I ordered the vegan meatball sandwich & spaghetti. It was ABSOLUTELY delicious!!! Honestly, it tasted almost identical to not being Vegan it was that good! Seriously, the Spaghetti was incredible along with the meatball sandwich (both vegan). We also tried the cheesecake & chocolate croissant (both vegan), and both were very good also! The owners daughters are both Vegan (well one, 100% of the time lol), so they know about the Vegan Diet. read more

I hadn't been here in a while and I was delighted by the eternally stellar service, the absolutely immaculate pizza, and the environment that truly feels like an authentic New York pizza place. Had a great conversation with the owner and had an even greater meal, needless to say it was 11/10 food and service, not only will I go back but I'll make sure everyone I know stops in for a slice. read more

Uncle Gino’s Pizzeria - 2 slices of pepperoni and a can of Mountain Dew for just $9 - Pizza Near Me - Temecula, California

I'm a pizza aficionado! As it's my favorite food. I also was once a managing partner at the highest rated fine dining restaurant in a region of 2 million+ people, where I had our Culinary Institute of America gourmet chefs add truly outstanding pizza to our menu. I've also consulted for & brokered the sale/lease of many dozens of restaurants. Thus I became reasonably knowledgeable about best practices. My review as a 1st time customer: *The large meatball/mushroom/onion/bell pepper pizza was 4.5 Stars - really delicious! *Sauce is terrific! 4.5 Stars! *Excellent all-beef meatball topping! 5 Stars! *Crust is only 3 Stars - not truly New York style "thin" as told to me. Next time I'll ask for extra thin. *Topping anount - 2 Stars - way too expensive for the amount given (barely any onions, mushrooms or bell peppers). *Had I ordered a large veggie & added meatballs, I would've received 2 additional toppings yet saved $3.50! Thus what I was charged makes no sense... Hopefully Uncle Gino will consider making a few easy & reasonable changes. If so, I'll be a regular customer! read more

Tried for the 1st time since bongiornos closed. The walked up ordered with Gino the owner. I can honestly say it's a great pie good size and lots of flavor. What got me was Gino is very passionate about his pies. You can see it and feel it when taking to him makes them with pride. I will be coming back to try other things on the menu soon. read more

Local family owned pizza shop with plenty of options. We came here because one of our favorite vegan restaurants Gentle Grill was closed, so we decided to check out Uncle Ginos. To our surprise, they have vegan options! On the menu, we only noticed the vegan calzone and the vegan cheesecake. However, after speaking to the owner, he said options were: Vegan Pizza, Vegan Garlic Knots, spaghetti w/vegan meatballs, vegan meatball subs, and they also had vegan sausage. We decided to give it a try! And we were happy that we did! Everything came out delicious and we took to go items for dinner later as well! Owner and staff are very friendly and accommodating, service first! There's some space to eat inside and outdoor tables as well. Definitely happy we found this hidden gem! Update: we had the items we took back home and OMG! portion sizes are ridiculously big!! We have food for days!!! Spaghetti was delicious! Comes with garlic bread and meatball sub was HUGE!! Garlic knots are very yummy! All were vegan and Gino made it a point to tell us what he was putting on the items and using Vegan cookingware just for us! read more

Service was very very slow and order was wrong. We stopped by here on our way to soccer tournament. We were running late and the worker said it would be 15-20 minutes. He was taking care of a family that was eating in and definitely couldn't multi-task. I wouldn't have been upset if he had told us up front that it was going to take 30-40 minutes instead of 15-20. We would have went somewhere else. We waited. We ordered 4 sandwiches and we got 3. Only paid for 3 but my son didn't get to eat before his game because his sandwich wasn't made. He didn't get the ingredients right on one of the sandwiches either. All that wait and frustration and I didn't think the sandwiches were that great. He was a young kid and by himself so maybe someone called in sick but he moved slow and didn't seem to be concerned about people waiting. There was only 1 table inside so I assume they mostly have takeout. read more

This place has become a favorite of ours when we are in the area. We came upon this place by searching on Yelp and had ordered to have food delivered to the winery that we were at. The wait for the food to be delivered was reasonable and food was delicious. Kiddo loves their ravioli. Pizza crust crispy and soft and good amount of toppings on the pizza. We've ordered several times from them since. read more

Good solid pie, it's nice to see a classic small business still around. Gino is in there daily making dreams with his kids and grinding to make a living. it feels like out of a bronx tale. They have good pie with taste sauce and quality cheese. i ask for extra crispy to get that new york / new england style. Overall good product. good use a refresher or some fresh paint but he puts his focus on his product whiling you have respect the hustle. does pass the vibe check but well deserve high five and hope to continue to visit and here the great stories. read more

Let me start by saying that I have been an around for a long time and have had the opportunity to travel far and wide so this isn't coming from a local who was bred on chain pizza. Hidden gem. No frills establishment but the pizza and calzone was phenomenal. The owner definitely has an east coast personality IYKYK but he went right to business with our order. He came to check on us after and we had a great conversation. read more

Stopped by Uncle Gino's after for pizza, delicious pizza and salad. Uncle Gino was super friendly and ensured we enjoyed our meal. The antipasto salad was delicious.

We ordered a vegan pizza that comes only with cheese! Any topping adds $3 each topping. We got vegan sausage. Paid $35 for a bland pizza. For some reason there is service charge added to the order also. Very disappointed. read more

Okay positives first, pizza was ready quick. I ordered a Large pizza, half cheese-half pepp. Was more like a medium . I should've checked that our order was correct, all pepperoni. I just wished the price matched the quality, not the best. That being said, would give the pie another chance. read more

We LOVE Uncle Gino's pizza! It's everything a pizza should be - amazing crust, generous toppings, fresh sauce - perfection! So happy to have this as our go-to pizza place for takeout. Sometimes it may take some time but trust me, it's worth it! We recently ordered the 24" which was so incredibly huge, perfectly topped and baked. We keep meaning to try more things on their menu, but that pizza is just so darn good! read more

Best pizza in Temecula. Much more reasonably priced than most places in town. East coast style crust, love the bread. Nice tangy sauce, generous toppings. I have lived in Temecula for 20 years, tried 'em all, finally found someone making a good honest pizza. Nice people too. Small and very modest interior, I'd stick to take out. read more

Good Pizza. Owner is nice. Owner's wife? Not so nice! 2nd best pizza in Temecula. ( I have tried them all). Local business. Nice owner.

We had a different restaurant in mind, but they were closed at 8:00. We called Uncle Gino's and placed an order. This pizza was amazing and the owner was great to talk to while our pizza finished baking. Wish we lived a little closer to go more often. read more

Uncle Gino’s Pizzeria - Sausage, peppers, and onions - Pizza Near Me - Temecula, California

Somehow this little gem slipped in under my radar. Uncle Gino's has been at this location for two years. I love Stromboli and I decided to check it out. Stromboli is not on the menu but calzone is. I asked Gino's about Stromboli and he said he would make it for me. It took about 15 minutes to bake. The Stromboli was huge! I added sausage, bell peppers and olives. It was good but the cheese was off. Just had a funny taste and consistency. He also added ricotta cheese which took away from the flavor in my opinion. It was definitely good but next time I'll know better what to ask for or leave out. Nice atmosphere and warm with the ovens going. One table inside and a couple tables outside. read more

Best damn pizza I've had since we moved to Temecula. It's very cheesy and the quality of the toppings is too tier. It seems like it's family owned and they're always very welcoming. If you like Hawaiian pizza, theirs is one of the best I've ever had in my 32 years of life. read more

The service is amazing here and they honestly have the best pizza I've never had. I really enjoyed and recommend coming here. Definitely will be coming back. read more

This is a second time we've ordered. We were so impressed with our first one, we ordered again. This time, however, the order arrived over 30 min after we were notified it was on its way. The food was not warm at all. We found the order on the ground on our front porch. No door bell or knock or any notification it arrived. The driver felt the ground was a better option than the porch table. The specialization of our order was not co considered or handled. One pizza toppings were charred; which makes cold pizza even worse I am very disappointed in the quality of food and the driver/delivery. Even more that I tipped when I placed my order so the delivery got a tip for terrible service. read more

Well no wonder Uncle Gino's gets 4.5 stars although I am giving him 5! I don't drive a 100 miles for a pizza but I'm Gino's case I just might! I'm from out of town and after getting a horrible flatbread at Miramonte winery I needed a solid pizza outing. I chose Gino's and I now feel like a genius! Gino is a cool guy from NYC and he knows how to make a pie! I ordered an X-Large pepperoni, sausage and mushroom pie with extra sauce and extra cheese. It was phenomenal! I'm a big boy and can down several slices of pie but I had to tap out after 3 incredible tasting slices. Very satisfying. Sauce was excellent and I detected a bit of spice which added to the experience. Had a leftover slice heated up today and my eyes rolled back in my head it was that good! Side note; enough exclamation points! We order a dinner salad which had enough for 4 people. I think it was $6. I know one thing for sure that when I return to Temecula I will be stopping by for a pie and will probably get a second one to take home. Great job Uncle Gino! read more

Uncle Gino’s Pizzeria - This pizza was fantastic! It was also very filling. Even I could only eat 3 slices but my taste buds wanted more!!! - Pizza Near Me - Temecula, California

Vegan review: Gino greeted us and took our order. He recommended adding vegan meats to our pizza -- yes please! The vegan cheese was super melty which shows he either knows to pick the best cheeses or makes a sauce or aids in its melting before putting it in the oven. The vegan pepperoni was great and I'm so glad we made Uncle Gino's a priority while we were in Temecula. It's located in the same shopping center as Gentle Grill (all vegan spot). 10/10 honestly zero complaints read more

I used to love this place. It has gone downhill in the past few years. The family salad is very small. The prices on the menu and the price you pay a slighter higher. The service is so-so. When I pick up my pizza it is usually very quiet in there. I haven gone back since my last visit. read more
