King Gino's Pizza & Pasta — Restaurant in Town of Huntington

Ok first off I'm from Southern California. Don't get me wrong there are a lot of good things about So Cal but pie ain't one of them. You mention pie out there and they will immediately start thinking apple cherry rhubarb or some other fruit or cream filling. You can't hold it against them they just ain't knowing. I mean they call it pizza. I for one truly believe that the New York terminology and references to pizza pie is what gives it that distinct New York flavor and appeal found nowhere else on the planet but New York City. That being said it is a rule of mine that whenever I come to the Big Apple a slice or two from a local shop is mandatory along with a few this and that's. I have found that every shop I have ever been to all have a few offerings that they are well known for besides their pies and slices. Today I was very fortunate to find King Gino's Pizza and Pasta out on Long Island and completely by a stroke of luck. Only because the parking lot was big enough to accommodate my semi truck did I hit the jackpot. I had dozed off once I parked and after I woke up i was starving. I remembered that the shop was a mere 50 yards away and scrambled over hoping that I wasn't too late. As I approached the door i noticed that the chairs were on the tables and a gentleman was mopping up the floor. My heart sank as i realized that I was in fact too late. They were cleaning up and getting ready to lock up for the night. I must have mumbled something out loud to the effect of how hungry I was because it caught the attention of the guy mopping and he called out and two more guys came out from the back. We exchanged greetings and i told them about my rule and how disappointed I was that I dozed off and missed the opportunity to sample their pies. What happened next totally took me by surprise. They ushered me in and showed me what was remaining which really wasn't much but at that moment it was a feast to my eyes and even though I tried to tell them that it was ok they wouldn't hear it. My luck was holding up because the oven was still going and they made me feel like the first customer of the day not the knucklehead that showed up 2 minutes before closing. They even made up a baked ziti for me which is one of my favs. I was so grateful for the hospitality and as I mentioned earlier I was starving so i ordered up. I got the ziti 2 custom slices and a calzone / turnover looking thing that was stuffed with cheese and sausage. I walked back to my truck with a pizza box and an overstuffed bag full of food. I ate so much I hurt but the food was so delicious i didn't care and popped another garlic knot in my mouth. These guys absolutely made my night and I couldn't thank them for not only all the food buy for welcoming me at that late hour. King Gino's 2 thumbs up and blasts on the air horn they definitely have my seal of approval. That's it from me and I'll see you on...

Scam artists. Ordered multiple times online, had one incident when the got an item wrong, and refused to fix it and said it was my fault for using an app. Against my better judgement, I tried to give them a second chance, and ordered over the phone, and when I went to pick up the order, the guy at the counter tried to charge more for every item than his actual prices. I pointed it out in the actual menu which was right next to the cash register, and he said "prices went up" and mumbled something about his supply costs. I left without the order, and out of curiosity went back to the app, and no prices had changed or had increased...he was just trying to rob me hoping I didn't notice. I will never order from them again, and urge you to never order from them as well. Mario's Pizza is better, anyway, and they're honest about their prices, unlike...

I love this place. The pizza you can tell is made with care and not with cheap ingredients. It has the perfect amount of both cheese and sauce. Their regular meals are delicious as well. Eggplant is made perfectly and the chicken parm is possibly one of the better chicken parm hero’s I ever had. The fettuccine Alfredo which is a meal that is difficult to make they made amazing as well. The staff/owners are really nice and welcoming and the prices for everything are very reasonable. To be honest I’ve been to places that charge almost double and don’t taste as good. I would say with no doubt this is the best pizza place on the island I strongly recommend and this is coming from someone who is fairly picky about...
