Gino's Sports Grill

Reviewed By kjswheels - Benton, Arkansas

I've been to Gino's several times since they've opened. They have the best pizza in town. However, the last time I was there, and it will be my last time, my feet stuck to the floor. When I drove up to pick up my pizza, staff were standing at the back door smoking. You could see inside and the place really looked dirty. Then my feet stuck to the floor.....at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Although I love their pizza, I just can't get past the overall dirty feel of the place.
