Gino greeted us and took our order. So happy we found Uncle Gino's Pizzeria! Great service, fresh flavors, perfectly topped and baked PIZZA & CALCONE including all the fresh sauce - perfection! We were there Friday then again Sunday; Thats how good it was and both times it was cooked perfectly every time. Just another reason why we return. Thanks again Uncle Gino, you are THE BEST PIZZERIA in town with great store front view to enjoy outdoor seating with family and friend's cheers! read more

Visited uncle Gino's tonight for the first time and am so glad I did. We had a group of 7 so we got a little of everything. Pizza was delicious , crust was excellent and perfectly cooked. Garlic knots are a must and we almost finished 2 baskets. Spaghetti was also good, my daughter substituted the meatballs for sausage and loved it although talking to Gino later he said the homemade meatballs are a must try for next time, wings were large and meaty with perfect amount of sauce. And the Caesar salad with Gino's homemade sauce was delicious. We were there in the late evening so it wasn't too busy and we had the chance to talk to Gino. He is legit. His speech and mannerisms reminded me of my nana from Sicily. Turns out I was spot on and he was born in Sicily but for the last 36 years has been making pizza in New York. Everything is handmade from scratch and it's all delicious. When it was time to go Gino boxed up our food refilled our marinara sauce for the leftovers knots and the same for the Caesar dressing for the leftover salad. I will be back to try the meatballs on Gino's recommendation. The restaurant itself was small but very clean, only issue was the pizza oven makes it pretty hot to eat inside but we ate outside on the patio and it was fine. Great food, great owner, excellent service a win all around. I look forward to being a regular at uncle Gino's read more

Horrible customer service. He literally yelled at my kids cause he couldn't hear on his old phone he has. If you have a problem with my children then tell me and I will fix it. I'm the first person to correct my kids if they are acting up. He must been stressed because it was hot and he had his tv loud but no excuse to yell at customers especially children. Anyways food was very bland and tasteless. Definitely will not ever be back. *** Since you wanna act like my kids were acting like they were on a playground and lie thats hilarious. They were clearly playing with one the only working busted arcade game you had. Gain some real customer service and stop yelling at customers. Your business is a joke and I'll make sure everyone knows that. read more

Unbelievably scrumptious vegan pizza with vegan meats and calzone! These New Yorkers know a great pie!

read a lot of reviews and wanted to give this place a try. The pizza was so flavorful and the ingredients tasted very fresh. I will definitely be back to try a variety of pizzas. read more

Probably one of the best pizzerias in temecula, and the older guy that works there was very welcoming and sweet. Definitely a hidden gem

This was my first time coming to this pizzeria and right off the bat, the owner was incredibly rude. All i wanted to do was order a simple pepperoni pizza and i received so much attitude and bad vibes with it. I've worked in the food industry for 7 years and I've never experienced such bad service. The pizza was decent, I would rather get pizza from Costco. read more

Best place in California! A lot of Vegan options too! Uncle Gino brings his over 40 years of authentic New York style pizza making and dishes, from NY to CA! He cares about the sauce, he imports his cheese, uses the 'good water', and he has the NY accent! No other place does it like Gino's, it's family ran and the taste will keep you coming. I go out of my way telling people about Uncle Gino's pizzeria. Once you try this place you'll be hooked, meet Uncle Gino himself, his friendliness and food really 'is the best' ! read more

Sonny from Uncle Gino's is the best. The pizza is great and the lunch special can't be beat

This pizza was so fresh and delicious. We ordered the works and the veggies and meat were very fresh. One of the best pizzas I've had in the area. You can tell it's family owned read more

Love this place so much! The vegan pepperoni pizza is my favorite. I'm sad that they're closed until August first, but I'm going to be so happy when I can have their pizza again! read more

If I could give this place 0 stars out of 5 I would. Charged my mom about $202.00 for 6 vegan subs, 1 order of breadsticks, and 1 order of french fries. He took $120 cash and did a "custom item" on our receipt in which my fiancée used his debit card for $75 after tax and tip came out to around $214. Beware if you are buying vegan from here, he does not have his prices up so he will take advantage. I called the next day and he said a vegan sub is $21.99 so the math isn't adding up. read more

Gino's is so good! The vegan pizza there is amazing! I go there almost every week. they also make an excellent vegan calzone! and vegan meatball subs too 10/10 would recommend! It's also doesn't hurt that Uncle Gino is so nice read more

The capri pizza was amazing! I added chicken and with their ranch, delicious! Will definitely get it again!

Vegan review! Gino said this pizza would make my husband very happy. If you are reading this Gino, you were right! I ordered the 24" (!!GIANT!!) vegan pepperoni pizza, a slice of vegan cheesecake, and a chocolate croissant. We loved everything. Chefs kiss, 10/10. While the pizza baked, he shared with me that he can veganize most anything on his menu- calzone, meatball sub, even his salads (lol). I appreciated the conversation and friendly service. I'll happily support this business again read more

Took one bite of our Capri Pizza and instantly knew this was our new hotspot. We also got a slice of tiramisu, highly recommended it. Service is excellent, no bs, good ingredients, ignore every bad review. read more

Uncle Gino’s Pizzeria - Capri Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Temecula, California

Dont talk to me about other pizza places, Ive tried them all. UNCLE GINOS makes the best pizza in Temecula. I would DIE defending this hill. You know like when you have fresh baked bread and its all fluffy and pillowy (thats how his pizza crust is) and the sauce is made from scratch and is unlike any red sauce I've ever had. Anyways, Ive been coming here since he took the place over a couple years ago, and thats how passionate I am about his pizza, I still rave about it! Oh and try the spaghetti and meatballs, be sure to wear some socks so he can knock them off. read more

So happy that I found Uncle Gino's Pizzeria! My husband and I noticed that there was a New York pizzeria next door to our dog groomer and decided to try it. We had a slice of pepperoni and a slice of cheese pizza as well as a Caesar salad. Everything was made from scratch right in front of us and the food was delicious. We decided to use them as the caterer for a party and I can't say enough good things. Again we ordered a pepperoni and a cheese pizza, added a bbq chicken pizza and 3 dozen chicken wings. So so so good! Lots of rave reviews about the food from all our guests. Be sure to try them as I know you'll keep going back again and again! read more

Food is delicious. Unfortunately that's not why I'm writing this review. I came in on new years, I'm a restaurant manager and had just finished a busy shift at my own food service place. I was very excited to try a new pizza place, and my order was ready 20 minutes earlier than expected! With high hopes I enter the establishment, grab a drink to add to my purchase from the fridge, and wait for the cashier to finish with the man in front of me. I hear him telling the man how good the pepperoni is, I'm all smiles and excited for my turn. A man walks in behind me and is immediately greeted and asked if he's there to pick up or order. I'm a little thrown off because I wasn't greeted but I figure he just didn't see me. Man in front leaves, I go to register. I'm immediately greeted by a scowl. I tell him I'm there to pick up my order and I'm told "it's not ready yet, and you're not next, he got here first" and gestures to the man I watched walk in behind me. I try to explain I had been waiting, and he's just scowling at me the whole time. Also shame on the man behind me for not speaking up when he knew I had been there before he even entered the building. The kind girl working behind him let me know the food actually was ready, and grabbed it for me. 5 stars for her. I was so taken aback I almost forgot about the drink I was holding, I wish I had put it back instead of giving them more business after that interaction but it is what it is. I'm here eating the pizza, it's wonderful, but unfortunately I will not return to Gino's, and if you value customer service I cannot recommend this location. Based on other low reviews I'm lowering my review, I thought maybe it was an off day but apparently this place has a bit of a reputation for treating customers like this. Fix your customer service and you could really have something great here. read more

The pizza was good but the owner not so much. Before I paid for my 2" pizza I asked to see the itemized receipt, he say don't worry my friend it print out after you pay then you can see it. I clarified that I wanted to see the charges before I paid, he say no. So I should have just left but some Family was waiting on the pizza and he didn't take care of me like he said he was going to over the phone. read more

Definitely one of the best pizza joints I've been. Got to speak with the owner and his daughter a bit while I waited for my pizza. Very hardworking and love what they do. If you want delicious pizza and the chance to support a small business def come here. Will be returning soon. read more

Hello, Uncle Gino's!!! Welcome to the neighborhood and California. These New Yorkers sure now how to make a yummy Pizza! Plenty of parking out front.

Space is limited with tables but if anything grab it to go. Order by the slice too!! Food was served Fresh and Hot!

Had it for Mother's Day and the pizza was so good! Added plus, the cannoli was even better! Definitely recommend trying it out.

Nasty ass pizza. Just a bunch of grease with no flavor... Fat cats so much better Works P read more

Uncle Gino’s Pizzeria - Work and half Hawaiian Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Temecula, California

Came in and the older man behind the counter was yelling at the younger kid. Then when I received my order, I asked for a bag, and was met with a condescending attitude and "it's already in a bag" which it was not what I asked. Rude. I will not be returning. Who treats people this way? I went back and reviewed some of the other reviews. It seems that with every negative review there is a snide "comeback" or "I guess you haven't been here before" it's very apparent that there is 0 customer service skills here, and a lack of the proper use of gloves...gross. read more

Gino is a real personable guy! Felt right at home immediately. Food is insane! I got a gluten free option and it was soooo delicious! If you haven't been, you're missing out. read more

Uncle Gino’s Pizzeria - Vegan Pepperoni Pizza... fabulous! - Pizza Near Me - Temecula, California

Placed an order online, and messed up. Rather than making a new one, they took the pizza from the box and added the toppings originally ordered. The owner was the one who did this, placed the pizza in the oven and took it out after a few minutes. Toppings weren't cooked and the crust was burnt. The owner assured it was just as good....no thanks. read more

***This is in response to the owner's reply. His response speaks volumes. Just by seeing all the previous negative reviews (which I didn't see prior to making mine), it looks to me like this owner can't take constructive criticism/feedback. Instead of making it right, his condescending attitude to retaliate in exchanging words with his customers--is completely laughable. Do you think this is actually good for your business? Why don't you learn to make it better instead of arguing back with buyers? Keep the attitude and you'll continue to lose business. Whoever eats your crap unfortunately is stuck in Temecula and have never tried anything else. Being easily offended and lashing back at people just only hurts your business. My review has nothing to do with how the pizza looks. Just because you say so--doesn't mean it tastes good. You overcharged me on an already overpriced pizza and it gave me a bad stomachache. It's about professionalism and keeping your establishment afloat. Since you worry so much about what people say, then why don't you do something about it. Clearly you don't care about your business because you don't care to listen to what your customers have to say. Unfortunately what's more worse than your diarrhea pizza is your sh*tty attitude. It's funny how you are rude as h*ll only to negative reviews and kiss a** to others. So cringey. Speak for yourself and learn how to deal with customers. Try it sometime it works. Perhaps learn some people skills. Good luck with your business.*** Original Review: Seen this place before but never gave it a shot. Finally tried it and ordered a calzone and a pizza. I believe I was quoted a different sized pizza over the phone but was charged for another size when came to pick it up. In the receipt, I realized I was also charged for something extra/miscellaneous that was not specified on the receipt and believe it was an upsell without my knowledge--an extra I did not request. Still ate the pizza and let it go because we were hungry and just ate it anyway. Don't be fooled! Just because it looks good to them doesn't mean it's good! The owner is stern/firm when speaking to...very quick and old-fashioned. Completely rude and condescending! The food was very overpriced in my opinion. Everything out the door was pricey. The most valid reason for the one star is that after eating it, it gave me diarrhea/stomachache for two days (until it left my system) I know TMI lmao I knew it was their food because it was a the only thing I had eatin that whole day. I'm assuming it was their dairy/cheese. I'm not lactose intolerant either. I don't know how old their food is but I eat at a lot of places and rarely get the runs so they probably use old inventory. I don't know how much business the place gets but I gather the food does not circulate. Their food is old af don't eat here! First and last time here. read more

Well, they've raised their prices, they've changed their pepperoni and sausage for the worse, and the ratio of meat to other ingredients as been reduced by more than half. I'm paying more and getting less. So we won't be spending our money here any more. Gino V, it's probably best not to challenge your customers, especially on Yelp, as your customers ordering online have a complete record of every order at our fingertips. To be clear, we have ordered from Uncle Gino's nearly a dozen times, from Grubhub, since February, 2020 and every order included two (2) calzones - EVERY SINGLE ORDER. Your prices changed between July 1 and July 17. We reduced the frequency of our ordering when the price went up, but we did continue to support your restaurant because the quality was second to none. Now, the quality has dropped, and the you are clearly in denial. read more

We had the best vegan pizza of our lives. Uncle Gino is the best and cares so much and understands what vegans need. They truly care and the food is pure quality hundred percent. The best quality ingredients! The crust is amazing But the homemade sauce is just incredible!!! Can't wait to come back! read more

Pizza and service are great! Scheduled pizza delivery for later in the day. Driver text and called to confirm delivery. Tried the BBQ pizza and cheesy bread! Will definitely come back! read more

Uncle Gino's delivered on every bite! The 12 inch half vegetarian and half pepperoni we ordered was both fresh and delicious. If you are in the area, it is a must try!! read more

Uncle Gino is obviously very proud of his pizza. I came in for the 1st time to pick up my order, and he asked me if I wanted to see it. I said "sure," so he opened the box and it looked and smelled beautiful! If you are looking for real New York pizza with a perfect crust and very tasty toppings...just the right amount of everything...you have found your pizza place in Temecula! It is as good as he says it is. He also obviously cares about his customers. He started a conversation with me. At the same time, 2 young men had come in and ordered slices. They went to their table to eat them, and he reminded them that they forgot to get napkins. He's a great Uncle! read more

Uncle Ginos is a great quick spot for some good slices at a good price I have been here a couple of times and it's good
