Pizza is reasonable. Wings are reasonable -- Will not give blue cheese and if you're asking if you get this.. BUT, You charged me a credit card fee and you did not tell me you were going to charge me before I gave you my card (I could have and would have paid cash). Not happy. Transparency is important during these times, customers can go to many places. Pick it up, you can do better.

So... I toyed around as to what to rate this location and because of my BFF I gave it a 4. I ordered a meats pizza and it was missing 2 toppings no bacon or ham. Maybe the Solon location was out. However that should have been communicated or maybe it was an oversight. Either way the pizza was good. Great pizza this location just needs to payoff attention to detail. I gave a company account as well and if this was one of my clients this would have been horrrrrible.

Consistently good. Nice amount of sauce and cheese. One of the best. We've tried everything in and around Solon and have no doubt this is top of the pizza chain. You can't go wrong with Gioninos. Quality.

When I'm in this part of town, I still like Gionino's. I like the soft crust, the ooey gooey cheese and the oddly satisfying nature of the Hawaiian pizza with fresh mozzarella added. The delivery is always prompt and comes even ahead of the indicated time. On a recent pick-up visit, they filled our order incorrectly. To make up for it, they gave us a extra pizza and were apologetic about it. I appreciated that they allowed us to keep the extra pizza (nothing was inedible about it, it just wasn't we ordered). I have a visceral reaction to food being thrown away and was glad it wasn

Agree with the three rating on Yelp. The sauce tasted like it was out of the can, the crust was too doughy and the cheese was stiff and not the melted goodness I craved. This is average pizza but I prefer to eat great pizza. Eat here if you are hungry but don't expect too much.
