Papa Gino's
4.5 (1,285)restaurant
4.5 (1,285)A nostalgic Waltham staple serving classic New England-style thin-crust pizzas, calzones, and hearty Italian subs.
Description
The pizza traces back to an over 80-year-old Italian family recipe that founder Mike Valerio brought over from Italy in the 1930s, well before the pizzeria was founded in 1961. At the Lexington Street location, the kitchen turns out handmade pies anchored by that original recipe. Beyond pizza, the menu fills out with hot appetizers, pastas, baskets, and salads, alongside Ben & Jerry's ice cream for dessert.
