01 The story, in three paragraphs

Why everyone keeps coming back.

Located in Bridgewater, MA, Papa Gino’s is a beloved pizza and Italian restaurant that offers a comforting taste of traditional New England-style thin crust pizza paired with a variety of classic Italian fare. Step inside and you’ll find a casual, family-friendly dining atmosphere perfect for a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner with friends and loved ones.

At the heart of Papa Gino’s menu is their iconic thin crust pizza — tender but crisp, with just the right balance of tangy tomato sauce and melted cheese that stretches with every bite. Their Lunch Specials stand out as fantastic value picks, especially the popular deal of “2 Slices of Cheese or Pepperoni Pizza with a 20oz Beverage.” This combo lets you savor two slices of their freshly baked traditional pizza, whether you prefer classic cheese, pepperoni, or a mix of both. For those seeking something beyond pizza, the Tuna Sub with chips and a beverage offers a satisfying midday meal with perfectly layered tuna filling and a crunchy side.

Complementing the savory options are their irresistible desserts. The Cinnamon Sticks, with freshly baked dough dusted in cinnamon sugar and paired with a luscious sweet icing, evoke cozy aromas and a sweet finish to your meal. If you're in the mood for something rich and indulgent, their selection of brownies, blondies, or famous Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream provide the perfect treat.

Customer experiences at this location reflect a range of moments — some highlighting exceptional service and speedy order fulfillment, such as one reviewer praising the staff’s helpfulness and enthusiasm. Another customer raved about the unparalleled service from an employee named Kathy alongside delicious pizzas that hit all the right notes. However, some diners have noted areas for improvement, mentioning inconsistencies in ingredient portions and pizza execution compared to past visits. This mix of voices paints a picture of a local spot that many still hold dear, especially for its familiar flavors and accommodating team.

Whether you're craving a comforting slice, a hearty sub, or a sweet finish, Papa Gino’s at 233 Broad St brings an approachable Italian experience where tradition and taste meet. For pizza lovers in Bridgewater seeking quick, satisfying meals steeped in community nostalgia, this Papa Gino’s remains a convenient and warm choice.

We’ve always been a big fan of papa Gino’s! The last few times we ordered for dinner it was gross. BLT with xtra mayo didn’t get the xtra mayo cheese was cold and the bacon was all crumbly pocket was pretty much empty. Steak and cheese pocket was just a pile of steak barely chopped up. Papa Gino’s used to be our go to.

Candi is correct that they have the best Parmesan cheese, however I'm not sure if she used the plastic forks or the silverware that they provide when you dine in. The silverware is 5/5 but the plastic forks bend too easily - please clarify Candi.

I just came here to use the solid promotion one gets for signing up in the app. I'll come back if there is a comparable discount and have class in the area. It was a pretty good pie, but tasted different from the Papa Gino's I remember from long ago. I made the mistake of getting the small cheese pizza well done, which hardened the crust. I need to eat more to give a comprehensive review, but folks should give it a try.
