History
In 1961, married couple Michael and Helen Valerio founded Piece O’ Pizza in Boston, Massachusetts. They used original Italian recipes which Michael’s family brought from Italy when they emigrated to Boston. Seven years later, they decided to change the business name to Papa Gino’s and started positioning the business for expansion.
They currently have over a hundred fifty locations across New England as of 2018. Papa Gino’s is also as the Official Pizza of The New England Revolution and The New England Patriots. They also have a partnership with Boston Red Sox.
Review
I always feel like there is a “Christmas-y” feeling every time I see a Papa Gino’s restaurant. It must be because of their green, red and white logo – not to mention the brick design that always reminds me of chimneys.
You must try their mouthwatering pizzas! I can guarantee you that these pizzas do not exist in other pizza restaurants.
Among the pizzas I would personally recommend are the Chicken Bacon Ranch, the Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese, and the Boss Barbecue Chicken.
Since some of the food in their menu is not found in other restaurants, you can request the servers for assistance. They will gladly be of help to you.
