Gionino's Pizzeria

You’re not Ohioan if you’ve never had Gionino’s. I’ve been coming here for almost 10 years! The food is great, the service is impeccable, the staff is always so friendly. There was a headless corpse in the disabled stall of the mens bathroom, minor inconvenience. You can’t beat the pizza at this place, if you’re ever in Ohio, do yourself a favor and come eat here!

Its okay. The place is busy and its not bad, but I wouldn't rate it above dominos or pizza hut in the area and that's much cheaper. The chicken wasn't bad probably the best you can find in the area, but there is nothing here to compare it to. I'll stick with Dominos and hut for now, since the rest is overpriced and mediocre.

My first stop for pizza in the area and it was a good pick. They had a promo for a large pie and a chicken dinner, which came with jojo's and cole slaw. It was a really nice amount of food for under 30 bucks. The pizza had a balanced flavor to the dough, the right amount of sauce, but I would've preferred the cheese more evenly spread. There were spots where there was only sauce, and personally I think this is only ok for a neapolitan pizza. The chicken was crispy, juicy and well seasoned. The jojos were fresh instead of frozen, and cooked through. All in all, a good deal.

If you're one of those people that does not like the massive chain pizza stores like Pizza Hut, Domino's, Little Caesars etc but actively look for good locally owned pizzerias this is definitely worth a try. I moved to Aurora in 2013 and this is been my go-to pizza place since I got here. Their food is excellent, they're very reasonably priced, and all the kids that work there are locals working through school and they're a bunch of respectful young kids. Next time you're looking for pizza try these guys, you'll be glad you did.
