Gino's, Stellenbosch

When you ask people where can you go for pizza in Stellenbosch a large number of them will suggest Gino's - a pizzeria situated within walking distance from the center of town. Being a very popular pizzeria amongst people of all age group, the night we went there was very busy, but from what we heard this wasn't exactly unexpected.

When we got there, the waiter directed us to the inside dining area as it was raining a bit that day, but they also have a outside dining area with a decent amount of seating for those warm sunny days. The setting is a mix between old Victorian and Tuscan giving you the old school feel of Stellenbosch, but with a bit of class on the side.

Their menu has a wide selection of different pizza's - mostly standard pizza's you'll find anywhere (nothing out of the ordinary). There are also a nice selection of other dishes available for those who don't feel like pizza. Monika and I each order a beer (Peroni) and standard discussing which pizza we're going to take. After ordering our pizza's we sit back and relax while observing the other patrons. This pizzeria definitely makes you feel at home and comfortable with everybody having a good time.

When we receive our pizza's we were a bit surprised:  the shape of the pizza's is the first thing you notice; it's oval not round. The second thing you notice is that the waitress hands you a pizza cutter, a sort of DIY take on pizza (Dewald: Which I liked a lot.).

Scoring

Pizza	:	7.5 / 10
Ambiance	:	7 / 10
Service	:	7 / 10

Overall we give them a 7 out of 10 - they could work a bit on the ambiance as it feels a bit like they used grandma's furniture in a res dining hall.
