    Before hitting the oven. Our calzone was SUPER STUFFED.

    Uncle Gino's makes the best pizza and calzones. My family and I love their food. The owner and family are awesome people.

    Completely burnt vegan cheese that should have been regular
    Heather S.

    We've been going here since we moved to Temecula a few years ago and usually have a great experience with takeout but tonight was a massive exception. My husband ordered a cheese pizza with vegan pepperoni for takeout. When he went to pick it up he saw that they had added jalapeños across the whole thing. They had told us on the phone that they only had a little vegan pepperoni left so to make up for the mistake they made a cheese pizza. Unfortunately they not only used vegan cheese when we ordered regular, but also it was completely burnt. My husband didn't realize it until he was home and when he tried to call back about the issue the person on the phone was not only unapologetic, but insisted they had made two pizzas, we should just take the jalapeños off, and that this is just how vegan cheese cooked. Anyone who has a kid knows this isn't an option and also even though we didn't order vegan cheese, we've had it on pizzas other places and here and it's NEVER looked like this. Just look at other photos people have posted here. He then hung up on my husband without resolution. Honestly such a bad experience I would never recommend this place to anyone.

    Vegan meatball calzone

    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

    Meatball sandwich (vegan)
    Lee S.

    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.

    XXL works pizza.

    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.

    2 slices of pepperoni and a can of Mountain Dew for just $9

    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.

    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.

    Very nice people but we didn't love the pizza. Pizza was overcooked. Location is small with limited seating.

    I HAD THE BEST FISH OF MY LIFE HERE!…read more The photo might not do it justice, but holy moly - I seriously had a life changing moment eating the striped bass here. It was cooked to absolute perfection with the bones separating right off to indulge to the fullest extent. They tell you it takes 30 mins to cook, which is well worth the wait. The skin was perfectly crispy and the seasoning was to die for. The meat was juicy and I couldn't stop eating it alongside the garlic yogurt. It also came with a side of chickpeas and summer squash. The cocktails were a nice break away from all the wine in Temecula - but I wished the drinks would be punchier and more creative. The charred cauliflower was a nice order, though it was too "raw" and therefore dry. I think it'd be better lightly fried to lock in some juice. Service was fantastic, especially as the server is the one that pushed us to get the fish. The ambiance is fantastic; we stayed inside but the outside is beautiful. Overall, I can't believe that fish; I hope to try it again when I revisit the area.

    I was unimpressed by this place. I came here from san diego bc of all the pictures of good food!…read more Especially the octopus! Its too bad I came for brunch. Brunch lasts until 2pm and then from 2pm to 245pm they serve only appetizers. Lmao. Thats certainly interesting. Aesthetically this place is gorgeous. I love that they are dog friendly and it wasnt too hot today at the patio. I got the bloody mary to start and it was pretty good. The bacon in it was amazing, however, it didnt taste like 2 shots. The drink was thick but the flavor was still good. I got avocado toast with smoked salmon. This very small meal was 20$. I got a lox bagel and 4 huge pieces of smoked salmon with capers and a side of avocado a few days ago in Vegas on the strip and that was 16$. Sooooooo... how is this justifiable? Anyways, I also ordered a diet coke and they came out with a mini can. Talk about why this place is called "small" barn. Lol! The server stated the can is super small bc its only 2$. Thats just silly. Just get the bigger can and charge me 3 bucks for it. Thats fair in my humble opinion. 4$ for two mini cans is wonky to me. Alas, these are not the reasons why this place originally got a 2 star from me. It was the tomatoes on my avocado toast. They taste spoiled, old, and mushy. It made my stomach hurt a bit. As for the salmon, it tasted like it smelled, funky. Why i ended up giving this place a 3 instead of 2 stars? Bc their creme brulee was the BEST creme brulee I've ever had. It was so luscious, creamy, and it felt like these are the kinds of desserts GODS eat! It was amazing! My server was friendly and talkative with me up until the end. She said "have a good day" in an oddly, irritated way when I paid with my card. Oh wells. Ill come here for the desserts! And perhaps ill give other things a try
