Gino's Pizzeria - Canajoharie

Ginos has the most hardworking family. The cheese pie, the Pasta Fagioli, and get you some chicken wings extra crispy with French Dressing and minced garlic. To die for. No one else makes them that way but you have to request it. Other then that....support your local business!

Ordered wings. They were cooked in fish oil. Not very good at all. The pizza was okay. Not the greatest. I love New York pizza is better.

My girlfriend and I stopped in Canajorie while en route to California for something to eat, and the first place we found open was Gino's. We had a fantastic experience, and the owners are very friendly. Recommended!

Happy to report the towels are still on top of dispenser. No hot water in bathroom either. Wings came with no celery or carrots or blue cheese. Her response, that's my fault. Wings were over cooked. Her response was better than under cooked. Wings were swimming in sauce. Her response was some people like them that way. Don't ask if you don't want to hear. Was reluctant to go her based on reviews but there are no options in this town. Especially at 3:30 pm.

I really hate to only leave 1 star but to be honest, that's all they deserve. First, let me say that all the people who work there are great. They are all friendly and courteous so they are not reflected in my 1 star rating at all. I got off the Thruway today and stopped into Gino's to grab some lunch before continuing my drive. I got off the Thruway just to stop and eat there because I used to like it there. Unfortunately, today was my last trip to Gino's ever! I called ahead and ordered a calzone so it would be almost ready when I arrived. When I arrived, I went straight into the men's room to wash up. There is a paper towel dispenser on the wall, yet there is always a roll of paper towels sitting on the sink to dry up with. How hard is it to load the paper towels into the paper towel dispenser? Also, the men's room toilet seat is broken. It is broken to the point where it almost falls off and onto the floor. I brought my mother here 2 weeks ago and she had to use the men's room because the ladies room was out of service. The seat was broken then. Toilet seats are an easy fix. They cost about $15 at Lowes. Fix it!!! Next, I walk over to the cooler to get myself a bottle of the cream soda. The cooler light is out and it's dark in the cooler. I don't know if the light is broken or if it's just off, but it's dark in there. I locate my bottle of soda, tell the waitress that I'm the guy who called for the calzone, and seat myself in the front window so I can look out and see some local sights. Canajoharie is a small but cute town that has a hometown feel to it. I take notice of the original architecture on some of the buildings on the main strip. There are a couple of Antique shops next to the Pizzeria which I'd enjoying browsing through if I found myself with more time on my hands. About this time, the waitress walks towards my table so I ask her if I can get a small antipasto. She replies sure. I tell her no onion please. She says ok. A few minutes later after playing with my phone and texting the waitress arrives at my table delivering a pepperoni, jalapeno pepper with cheese calzone and a small antipasto without onions. I start with the antipasto which is very good and the balsamic vinegar dressing was a perfect match for it. While enjoying my antipasto, I'm in a constant battle with some flies that have invaded the establishment. This is always another problem while eating here. These flies should not be an issue while eating. The front door seems to be left open sometimes by other patrons who don't close it tightly while coming or going. Maybe that's when the flies make their entrance. Maybe a spring that closes the door behind people would help. Next, I cut into my calzone well, actually ripped into my calzone. You can't cut much with a butter knife. I've ordered calzones here before and for some reason they insist on giving you a butter knife to cut your calzone. Breaking News CUTTING CALZONES WITH A BUTTER KNIFE DOES NOT WORK!!! The calzone tasted really good. Mine was stuffed with pepperoni, jalapeno peppers, ricotta cheese and mozzarella. It was cooked to perfection and could not have been any better. But now I'm fighting off an army of flies and trying to cut my calzone with a butter knife at the same time. This really puts a damper when you're trying to enjoy your meal. When I complete my meal and try to calm down after fighting all the flies, the waitress comes over and gives me the check. My meal came to about $18.00, which I don't think is bad for what I ate. Again, the food was really, really good. I go up to the register and they cash me out, and I leave. I get back in my car and leave Gino's for good. Conclusion: If they ever make a show like Bar Rescue only for Pizzerias called Pizzeria Rescue, this place should be on the first episode. It seems to me like whoever is running this place just doesn't care or doesn't know how to manage this pizzeria the right way. This place could be a money maker, but everytime I go there, it's empty inside. I just don't understand why this place is so run down. You have to have clean working bathrooms, proper pest control, good utensils and nice dishware. They have the good food and service already. This place needs a good cleaning and a list needs to be made with all the repairs needed, and then that list needs to be addressed with everything being fixed and cleaned. I'd love to someday be eating here again, but I can tell you that day won't happen for at least a year.
