Summary Review: 4.5 stars (out of 5)
Detailed Review:
Crust: The crust on Gino’s pizza has a fresh bready taste, but it is too thin to support all of the pizza’s toppings. My pizza was also slightly overbaked. Score: 7/10.
Sauce: The sauce has a nice thick texture and a yummy tomatoey taste. It appears in good quantity. What’s not to like? Score: 10/10.
Cheese: This pizza is slightly undercheesed, and what cheese exists has no distinctive flavor. The cheese also produces quite a bit of grease. This is the weakness of this pizza. Score: 5/10.
Toppings: Both toppings appear in excellent quantity and have just the right amount of spiciness. On the down side, the sausage may be the saltiest sausage I have ever eaten on a pizza. Score: 8/10.
Overall Taste: Everything comes together pretty well, with the saltiness of the sausage being the only real detraction. Score: 8.5/10.
Pizza Appearance: The pizza’s appearance is nice and tidy.
Dining Atmosphere: Gino’s restaurant sports a fantastic but dimly lit casual dining area with some pop music and TV’s for entertainment.
Customer Service: The service was excellent.
Monetary Value: For a good quality 12” pizza (not the usual 10” that
most restaurants call a small), this pizza is downright inexpensive.
The Final Judgment:
Gino’s is a nice pizza place in suburban Richmond. I would come here often if I lived in the
area. Score: 85/100.
