I learned this the hard way through a Seamless order. I hate the current one on Washington, but the one in PLG is good. So, I ordered from PLG Gino's on Seamless. My order arrived in 12 minutes, and I knew something had to be up because it would be impossible to cook a pizza and deliver from PLG to Prospect Heights in 12 minutes. I asked the delivery guy where he was from and he said the Gino's on Washington. Clearly, they are the same business and they filter online orders to the closest Gino's location. Lesson learned - never order from either one because you won't know where your pizza is from. </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/crown-heights-and-prospect-lefferts-gardens/brick-oven-pizza-for-723-washington-ave#post-764027 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 20:59:31 +0000 whynot_31 764027@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>The correct answer is: It is not "our very humble Gino's", but Prospect Leffert's Gardens "kinda snazzy Gino's" .</p> <p>Seemingly, the PLG one is not very worried about people confusing the new Gino's with the existing one, despite it being close by. </p> <p>Here's Yelp's photo of the existing humble one:<br /> <img src="http://s3-media2.ak.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/iRvJzM4fPq2Zr0aR8Tte7w/l.jpg"></p> <p>I don't think the present very humble Washington Ave Gino's is in any way related to new one. </p> <p>Having once had some lousy pizza from the existing one, I'll even go a step further: I HOPE it is in no way related to the new one. When I spoke to the kinda snazzy PLG one, they told me they would offer something like the existing menu [http://mypizza.com/restaurant/menu/1135].</p> <p>I shutter at the thought of our existing Ginos attempting such a menu.... </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/crown-heights-and-prospect-lefferts-gardens/brick-oven-pizza-for-723-washington-ave#post-764026 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 20:34:44 +0000 booklaw 764026@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>So what is the correct answer, if not Gino's? </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/crown-heights-and-prospect-lefferts-gardens/brick-oven-pizza-for-723-washington-ave#post-764025 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 20:17:16 +0000 whynot_31 764025@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>Yes, I initially thought that "our very humble Gino's" had somehow gotten their act together enough to buy and renovate a place.</p> <p>Then, I did a little research and found the correct answer.</p> <p>BTW, the property is being gutted. If you look at the base of the pull down gate, you can see that they appear to have removed the floor that separates the basement from the future restaurant. </p> <p>This, the location, and the quality of dining they are providing at their existing shop has led me to speculate the following:</p> <p>A. Their definition of "soon" might by the Fall 2013, or beyond.</p> <p>B. When complete, this entity might resemble Amorina, on Vanderbilt </p> <p>C. They might have access to a backyard, which would allow dining in the warmer months. There is a big tree located behind Suite 723 in the above photo.... </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/crown-heights-and-prospect-lefferts-gardens/brick-oven-pizza-for-723-washington-ave#post-764024 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 19:56:17 +0000 ehgee 764024@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>Looks like a solid place to have at the corner, and a little less gussied up that Pete Zaaz.
