I work right near that Papa Ginos! We should all get dinner some time!

ETA: This reads like I want to go to Papa Gino's, which I don't. I just didn't realize there were so many of us so close to that area 

I’m very close to there too! Patriot Place meetup!

There’s a Papa Gino’s in my town too! I had no idea this was unusual. It’s the most popular place to get pizza for bday parties because it’s allergy safe and has gluten free pizza too.

I would do 7. Also, where are you that Papa Gino’s still exists?! I love Papa Gino’s and I thought they only existed at rest stops in the Mass Pike these days.

I keep thinking they're out of business, too. But, there's one still in business in central MA that I pass when I visit my parents. Every time I drive by I'm surprised it's still there! My mom and I would get dinner there after dance class when I was a kid.

There's a few in the Worcester area! I was not a fan, but I think it's one of those things you've gotta grow up with to love.

I think they closed a lot of them in MA a few years back. The one in my town closed without notice, like employees showed up for work and it was just locked and dark. It was a big to do lol. It was always the go-to pizza for parties when I was growing up though. STBX’s brother and wife live in the south and when they come up here, the one thing she must have is Papa Gino’s! I never cared much for their pizza as a kid but I like it more now.

There’s also one by the Cape bridge which I spotted last week as my friend who was driving got off to find a bathroom. My friends are from NY so didn’t understand my nostalgic excitement!
