A New England Original. Time-tested 80 year-old family recipe. When Mike Valerio and his wife opened the first Papa Gino's in 1961 in East Boston, they used the recipes that his family brought over from Italy in the 1930's. That pizza recipe has never changed and is still being used today. That's why every Papa Gino's pizza still has that same distinctive, authentic Italian taste. So the pizza you grew up with is the same pizza you feed your family. For in-restaurant deals, follow us Facebook; Twitter; Instagram. www.papaginos.com. Comments or questions? Call 877-303-9996.
