Gino's in Dublin

11/08/2025: The pizza here is always delicious — we buy it every time we visit Dublin. The staff are usually friendly and professional. However, on July 16th at around 3:15 PM, we had a very unpleasant experience with one of the chefs. When we arrived, he was not at his station — we waited for about 10 minutes. He may have stepped away to use the restroom, which is understandable, but what happened next was odd. While preparing the Montanara, he didn’t add ricotta. Only after we pointed it out did he start looking for it in the fridge, and then went to a neighboring building to get it. It felt like he knew he had run out but simply didn’t want to go get more right away. He added very little ricotta and in a messy way — we order this pizza often, so we know how it’s supposed to look. The most unpleasant part was during payment: we paid by card, and the chef, without asking us, pressed the option to add 20% tips after we had tapped our card. We only noticed this in the evening. This incident left us with a very negative impression of this staff member. If I happen to come during his shift again, I won’t be buying pizza, even though I really like the place and the food itself. Ps: I just saw this staff member in a Google review video and am attaching a screenshot.

02/08/2025: Delicious food, friendly staff, but there’s really no place to sit so be sure you’re ready to take it away. I stopped in after seeing a show and there was no one else in line so I was served right away. The pizza was fresh and very tasty. They have two sizes, and the smaller one would’ve been enough for being only small-medium hungry, but it made for good leftovers the next day!
