I’ve never had the tavern pizza from Gino’s East, and was pleasantly surprised. I was a huge fan of the Italian sausage, I don’t like pepperoni very much so this one was not a win for me, but the amount of breakfast bacon and Canadian bacon on the half side of our medium pizza was really good. We did a half Cheese Legend half Meaty Legend and really only saw the difference on the media legend side, I think and I would be curious to see what the difference is for the cheesy legend. It was a solid pizza. There were no crusts really showing so my kids were really pleased with that, but I would’ve appreciated a little bit more crust. As far as the tavern style itself, I do think it was perfectly crisp and I really liked it. I did notice a little bit of yeast with the dough itself, so I’m not really sure what to make of that and just be aware.

At some point, our server Marco came over with our appetizer and one of the cheese sticks rolled off of our plate, but he was kind enough to replace it immediately. I appreciate this place has a couple of different options for how to get upstairs, including an elevator, which is great for people who are in wheelchairs or have trouble walking. I actually saw a stroller parked by the side of one, so this is definitely catering to everybody. I showed up here with my three kids, and even though there were a lot of TVs on it wasn’t super overwhelming sensory wise. It was a little bit loud, but Overall, not terrible. overall, not terrible. We could still hear each other speaking. I will say the one thing that I noticed is that the music that was playing was circa 2010 which was a funny nostalgic vibe.

We spent close to $80 (plus tip) but that includes one dessert, four drinks, one medium pizza with legendary ingredients and an appetizer. We had one slice of pizza left between me and three children. The bathroom looks clean and we probably could’ve done a little bit more with cleaning the walls in there though. Overall solid place and my daughter was really happy to eat here and look forward to coming back.

Something that’s cool about this place is that we receded really quickly and there’s also an ice cream shop connected to it with a rainbow cone, which is amazing but I was too full to eat anything else.

The other thing that I should mention is that there is a lot of really cool, graffiti writing all over the walls that I think is intentional but at no point where we given markers to make our own name on the walls, so I’m not really sure if that’s just part of the decor or if it’s something that you have to ask for markers for.
