    Gino's opened on July 5, 1963, across State Street from its later home, and moved to 540 State St. in 1967. Advertisements of 2010–2013: "The Original since 1963", stuffed pizzas by the slice count, delivery, a party room for 100. The 2020 account that it closed in 2013 has not been confirmed; it was open and newly remodeled in June–July 2013.
    Gino Gargano was the first to serve stuffed pizza in Madison; it takes 45–65 minutes to bake (10-inch $10.95–$14.75 in 2006). The thin-crust Napoli (tomatoes, anchovies, basil, mozzarella) was a big seller; manager Wasie Amiri; the first menu displayed in a case by the door; about 150 customers a day.
    'The oldest restaurant on State Street' (Daily Cardinal, 2002); established 1963, 40th birthday in 2003; dark panelling, black ceiling, stained-glass bar; pizzas made to order in 45 minutes (call ahead for stuffed pizza), a stuffed-crust slice-and-soup lunch special, delivery from 11 a.m. Gino Gargano on 2001 cheese prices: 'We are losing money on the cheese … but what you gonna do?'
