Nino’s Pizza

Great pasta & pizza not much personality there but I go for the food & almost always takeout.

Would give 0 stars if possible just for the rudeness of service. Pizza was pretty good. But the horrible service and attitude of server made the experience awful. I found out that the server was the owner, which makes it even worse. No smiles, mean/​dirty looks, slow slow service. If you order; call ahead and place a carry out order so you don’t have to deal with their attitudes, longer than you have too.

I’ve mentioned in other reviews of NNK-​area pizza joints that the one thing you can expect to find in pretty much count on in every decent-​sized town in the area is a pizza joint. For Callao, the spot is Nino’s Pizza. And like most of the other pizza joints, Nino’s is a family-​run operation that has been serving the NNK for what seems like forever.
I’ve had Nino’s dozens of times in my life, dating back to my days in high school. On my Thanksgiving vacation with my family, we decided to pick up Nino’s for carryout on Friday night. My mom put in an order for a large pizza, a large stromboli, and a large side salad. They estimated 30 minutes for pick-​up, which was fine because it’s a roughly 25 minute drive from my parents’ house to Nino’s anyway. (Yes, I grew up in the sticks)
The pizza here is very good — it’s a classic New York style pizza with a decent crust. The stromboli here is HUGE — they don’t pass off a slightly bigger calzone as a «stromboli» like other places do. Their stromboli is nearly the size of a full pizza and is cut into several long strip-​like pieces.
The remainder of their menu is much like any other local pizza joint in the NNK. They offer a full range of subs, including a Canadian Bacon sub, a staple food of my youth that I can only seem to find in the NNK area. They also offer a full set of Italian entrees, and a few American favorites as well because, well, this is Callao. The interior fits the geography — it’s nothing to get excited about, but it’s about what you would expect from a NNK pizza joint. Doing takeout is probably the best way to go here unless you are a local.

This is some of my favorite pizza and I crave it now and then since I’ve moved back to Ohio.
Nino’s offer a New York style type of crust. This is the kind of crust that I don’t mind eating all the way down to the end. Very large pizza with delicious cheese. Since San Remo’s is no longer in existence then this is most definitely the runner up in the area in my opinion.

Great pizza. Get it for take out unless you live in Callao, then you’ll be right at home.
