For 35 years, Rony has been behind the scenes bringing Gino’s East to life—one pizza at a time.
As our Kitchen Manager, he knows every step, every ingredient, and every story behind each slice. Today, he’s showing us how the Gino’s Supreme is made: pepperoni or sausage, onions, green peppers, and mushrooms—layered the Gino’s way.
Decades of experience. A lifetime of flavor. This is what tradition looks like.
