North Bend celebrates Gino’s Pizza Inn — 60 years strong
FROM THE CITY OF NORTH BEND
Congratulations to Gino’s Pizza Inn on their recent ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted by the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce, and on reaching an incredible milestone: 60 years serving North Bend. We are also excited to welcome the new
owners, Kim and Steve, who are committed to keeping Gino’s a family-owned North Bend tradition— with their daughter-in-law leading day-to-day operations and a plan to pass the restaurant down through generations. Gino’s continues to serve the classics many of us grew up with—brick-oven
pizza, wings, and longtime favorites like Benetti’s lasagna and minestrone. And a big congratulations on being voted #1 Pizza and #1 Salad in the Toast of South Coast 2025, and #2 for Wings. If you have not stopped by lately, now is a perfect time to support a local legacy and enjoy a great meal.
