Papa Gino's is a chain of pizza restaurants in the northeastern United States. Like most pizza places, they also carry pasta, subs, salads, and a variety of appetizers.
According to advertising agency Gearon Hoffman, Papa Gino's originated in East Boston, Massachusetts as a single location named "Piece O' Pizza," which opened in 1961. In 1968, the owners, Helen and Michael Valerio, changed the name to "Papa Gino's" and began expanding the business to multiple locations.
All you can eat pizza is available on Tuesdays and all you can eat spaghetti on Thursdays.
There are over 180 Papa Gino's locations in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island.
Since the late 1990s, the chain has entered a corporate sponsorship agreement with the Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots, as well as individual players with the teams such as Patriots kicker Adam Vinatieri.
