Gino's Pizza and Spaghetti is a restaurant chain with 40 locations in the U.S. state of West Virginia. The company was founded by Kenney Grant in 1961. Many locations are shared with Tudor's Biscuit World although the Gino's brand is exclusive to West Virginia. The company headquarters are located in Huntington, West Virginia and Nitro, West Virginia.
Grant learned to make pizza dough in Norwood, OH, where he spent two weeks as an apprentice. Upon his return to West Virginia, Grant opened the first Gino's on April 1, 1961.
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. This location features the original scoreboard from Fairfield Stadium. The scoreboard features the score of Marshall University's most recent football game in-season, and that of the 1971 Marshall - Xavier University (of Cincinnati) as featured in the motion picture We Are Marshall during the offseason.
