Straightforward pizzeria for thin-crust pies, pasta dinners & hot or cold subs, plus beer & wine.

I’ve been coming here since I was a kid. Ever since the new owners took over it’s been great. Until recently. About 3 or 4 orders ago the pizza was so greasy that the bread was soggy. I figured it was a one off. Nope, it’s been pretty consistent for the last 4 orders. The thin crust pizza I order I ask for crispy yet it’s been soggy. And the lady’s hand tossed pizza has been soggy as well. The garlic knots used to be drenched with the sauce and not so much now. Overall disappointed with how it’s been.

I really wanted to like this place. It was clean and smelled delicious when we walked in. They have some outdoor seating (which we love for the pups), a large bar counter with seating and a few large TVs (w/sports). The food had good flavor but the dough was not cooked all the way through and was still raw on our medium 3-topping pizza. The soda was also very flat. We probably wouldn’t go out of our way to try this place again, but they seemed pretty busy and have been around for over 3 decades… So maybe it just wasn’t a good meal for us.

Gina Maria’s is a great little place! My first trip there. I was needing pasta and they had lasagna on the menu! It was great! Really tasty and plentiful. I actually divided it and had a 2nd meal from it the next day.

I’m a longtime customer of Gina Maria’s my family loves their food. I had called and place an order for pick up I repeated myself three times please make the pizza crispy on the end and cheese only I went there to pick up my pizza and salad. I asked for a ranch for my salad cause the small ranch did not cover all the salad. She’s like it’s $.50 extra I returned the I said no thank you you guys are charging me $12 for a salad that I have to throw away because the rest there’s no more ranch left to fill up the salad so I canceled the salad and I returned it right there. I took the pizza it wasn’t crispy. I said this is not crispy. I ordered it well done and crispy. They put it back in the oven and have to wait another 10 minutes there I went home. I took a look at the pizza. My kids were starving And the cheese is half of the slices. This is very ridiculous. I mean, what kind of service do you guys want and what kind of customer service do they handle over there? I don’t know, but I have pictures here and it’s very disturbing. I have our way there’s a lot of pizza places here place and I can go to but we love Gina Maria’s I mean Sometimes you know what you guys are very negative stars and it’s sad. It’s sad to lose a customer over this, but I just wanted you to know if your manager the owner of how this Gina Maria’s Pizza was today very very bad and the service is very bad.

Tried this place for Valentine’s Day 2025 because my daughter really wanted a heart shaped pizza. LOVED IT. Garlic knots are a must. Wings were pretty darn good although they gave me jerk instead of buffalo (vday rush probably). Crust is delicious. Not too thin with thick edges… Tastes like fresh dough too. Generous on toppings. We will be back.
The delivery was an hour late but I’m assuming it was due to VDay and the heart shaped pizza.
A large Pizza, wings and garlic knots ran us $50. If you choose delivery, they add another $5 so I hope that goes to pay the driver because I incorporated the $5 surcharge as part of my tip and only tipped $5 on top of the surcharge. I would definitely pay for it again. YUM.
Update- I got very sick from eating the wings. I figured it was dark meat with a pink twinge but they were actually slightly undercooked and I paid for it for the next 24 hours. I’ll definitely call and let them know…. Very good food and with the vday rush, I know things happen but yeah .. very unfortunate

This is the last time I will be ordering food from this establishment. Constantly forgetting items in my order, food is now horrible and when I drive down there to pick up food that I had paid to have delivered the employees are abhor-redly negligent, incompetent, stingy on items I explicitly paid for like ranch and blue cheese, and after everything I immediately had to throw up out of my butt because the pizza fell apart through my body like Temu clothes. People usually blame this horrible type of thing on the current administration in our country but my thinking is this place is just horrible, lazy, negligent and can’t discern basic shapes and colors. Prayers to the next potential customers that decides to further interact with these individuals.

Wow. Incredible experience. Besides the delicious made from scratch dough and fresh ingredients, the service from new owners Robert and Erica was nothing short of exceptional. This local pizza joint has been the fabric of Placentia for 30 years! I was very impressed by the new owners and their level of service and genuine care for the product and service they deliver.
If your last experience here was sub par you will be letting yourself down if you don’t give them another chance to prove to you their exceptional recipes.
They have even partnered with local breweries to offer an exquisite IPA.
The men’s restroom was very clean during my visit which should be a reflection of how clean their kitchen is as well.
A much deserved 5 star review from a local guide on Google who is passionate about providing accurate reviews to support good business and small businesses that deserve it.

First time ordering food from Gina Maria’s. I ordered a pepperoni pizza and garlic knots. The pizza was ok. My main hang ups on the pizza is that the cheese wasn’t browned at all, maybe that’s just a personal preference, but I don’t enjoy just melted globby cheese. The second was the pizza felt over sauced, and the sauce wasn’t anything great. The garlic knots were pretty good in flavor. My main hangup here was that some of the knots was just sitting in a pool of butter or oil that made some of the knots a little soggy

Based on the reviews I was so hopefully that this could be my new local pizza place but it was a big let down. The pizza was not good at all. The sauce had very little flavor the topping were a little sparse but the crust was the most disappointing. The crust was down right dry and it lacked that nice fluffy chewy texture that I think makes a difference between a average pizza and a good pizza. This is more of a pet peeve but I was very put off by the fact that as part of the payment process I was presentrd with a screen that wanted me to leave a 15, 20 or 25% tip. I chose to leave no tip and was met with I perceived to be a real attitude from the girl behind the counter. Don’t get me wrong I gladly leave a tip when I receive good service but no one provided me with any service in this situation. I ordered a pizza on the phone, I drove to them to pick it up, they handed me the pizza and took my money. Am I expected to tip for making the pizza I paid you to make for me?

AMAZING! My family and I decided to stop at Gina Maria’s for lunch today, and we had a great experience. We sat outside on their patio and ordered pizza, pasta, salad, and we were surprised with COMPLIMENTARY garlic knots on the house! Our server (I didn’t catch her name) was on top of everything with our refills and needs. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the whole meat lovers pizza I ordered, but I got a picture of the leftovers! Delicous pizza and I highly recommend Gina Maria’s Pizzeria if you live nearby.
