History

Gino's Pizza and Spaghetti was founded by Kenney Grant,[3][4][5] who established the first location in Huntington, West Virginia on April 1, 1961. Prior to opening the restaurant, Grant had traveled to Norwood, Ohio, where he completed a two-week apprenticeship to learn the art of pizza dough preparation.[6]

The original Gino's Pizza is still standing in Huntington, West Virginia, located on 5th Avenue across the street from the Veterans Memorial Soccer Complex.[7] This location features the original scoreboard from Fairfield Stadium.[8]

In 2026, there are over 50 locations, some of which are shared with Tudor's Biscuit World.[9]
