Is this place hiring?

Seems to me that they only hire family, but don't take my word for it. That's just my impression. They do everything old-school, though, so if you really want to know, you should call or stop by.

Still the best pizza in Columbus!Eating at Rubinos is like stepping into a time machine! Delicious thin crust pizza and pasta dinners have been our family favorite for over 40 years!

Dine-in pizza is a nice crisp. Tastes mostly like salt though, very little other flavor. Take out turns into a soggy mess. Sparse toppings. For the price, there are better options.

I cannot say enough positive things about this place. It's a total dive, and they only take cash or check, but my God is it worth it! So. Freaking. Good.

Rubinos is hands down the best pizza I've ever had!!! My husband and his family have been going there for over 54yrs!! Great atmosphere and awesome staff!! If you haven't had Rubinos pizza you're missing out on the best pizza in the world!!! My opinion 🤷

If you like a thick doughy pizza go to pizza hut. Rubino’s cracker thin crust is excellent. I don’t care for pizza that is all dough and no flavor. Their pizza recipe hasn’t changed in decades. This pizza is a fresh change of pace. They have been in this location for generations.They must be doing something right!

An old favorite of my parents. Been coming here since I was a kid. Super thin pizza, salads and spaghetti. Love this place, it's a old school feel and I think it's still ran by the same family. Bring cash or check, no cards here. Good prices. Get extra cheese and if your into sausage, give theirs a try.

The pizza is good. I would skip pepperoni as it’s extra salty. The dine in experience is no frills to say the least but it adds a bit of charm. They let the food stand on its own. Remember to have cash though. No cards accepted.

Okay, because I grew up in Bexley and ate these pies after every BHS football game this review is a little biased. Regardless, Rubino's is the best pizza, bar none. I love it. My friends and family and every guest we introduce to Rubino's love it... The basic pizza is a cracker-thin and crisp crust, with limited cheese. We love to order the sausage and pep on ours with double cheese and cut small. Add some banana peppers on there and you're good to go! Try the pickle and bacon, too! you won't be disappointed.

Basic pizzeria that dates back to the 50"s. Cracker style thin crust made on site provides the base for a great pie. The ambiance has not changed over the years, but the pies are an east Columbus/Bexley tradition. Suggest adding extra cheese to every pie. The menu includes a couple of pasta dishes and salads. They do add a couple of subs for their lunch menu.Remember to bring cash because they do not accept credit cards!

Old school location that serves pizza with a great thin crust but I don't see what the hype about this place is. I ordered just one small (10") pepperoni with mushroom combo and the order took close to 30 mins to come out, which makes this place unsuitable for quick lunches, especially on a Friday afternoon. As for the pizza, and all I could taste was the saltiness of the toppings, and the onions on it were pretty miserable looking. They do accept orders on the phone for pickup so if time is a factor, you might want to consider that. I must commend them for the friendliness of the server and the price of the food. My combo pizza ended up costing $8.87. They've got vending machine for drinks for only $0.75 each and note that they only accept cash here!

Just got home 10-15 mins after picking up the pizza to-go. It was wrapped in paper rather than put in a box which seemed a little odd but I just figured that's how they did things. Pizza is fantastically yummy but pretty much cold

Wonderful blast from from the past. Very fresh ingredients and everything is made and prepared to order. A nice slice of old Bexley and Whitehall that has somehow survived all the pizza wars over the past years. No coupons or discounts are needed to promote anything on the menu, only awesome quality. Thank you for staying in the changing neighborhood too.

This pizza was fantastic. Very very thin crispy crust. We got cheese pizza and pepperoni and sausage and they were both delicious. This place is like stepping back in time. They had rotory phones, a pay phone, pinball machine, and a miss Pacman game. It was refreshing to see someone not change what works. I wish this place was closer to my home. Definitely has to be one of the best places in the Columbus Ohio area for pizza

Awesome restaurant. We will be back.The pizza crust is quite thin, but that doesn't mean the pizza is dry. The crust comes out surprisingly doughy but with a crispy bottom. Haven't had pizza like this before. Did I mention this was an awesome restaurant?The sauce was delightful - no too much. The sausage gave a bit of spicy heat, but just makes your mouth feelthe best kind of warmth.

SEVEN WORDS: SALTINE CRUSTED, GREASY PEPPERONI, SALTY MOZZARELLA GOODNESS.I usually get odd pizzas here - olives/sausage/mushrooms, or whatever my co-pilot wants.This time, it was first trip for my nephew, and we .usually decided on a simple large pepperoni pizza.What a great choice! It tasted just about perfect! One of the best straight-forward pizzas I've ever had. Additionally, the "pizzeria" ambience is quite fine, too. No frills, just good dining.However, there are two big drawbacks to "no frills": Rubinos is Cash Only + No Beef/Hamburger topping.What? This is an affluent Jewish neighborhood near a large, diverse college. That being said, Rubinos falls far short of 5-stars. I'd give if 3 stars if the pizza wasn't so fantastic today.

Best pizza ever. All the other places can close up shop! 🤷🏾‍♀️ No comparison amoungst Columbus whatsoever! I’m almost tired of debating and trying out suggested pizza places by others because there hasn’t been a match close yet. Been going here for 20 years at least.

Hands down one of my favorite pizza places of all time. The crust is so thin and unique, and delicious. They do not offer delivery and it is cash only. The only "downside" is it is always extremely busy, and the parking lot is very tiny. So it can be hard to find a parking spot.

Wish the pizza came with cheese and a crust. The cardboard was thicker then the crust. This is for the owners so they may improve. My boyfriend loves this pizza. But he did say it's like a big cracker with sauce so I would eat it. That didn't work so well.

CASH ONLY! And way overrated. The pizza crust is nothing special, and the sauce is not very good. We were very excited for an "authentic" Italian style pizza and we're incredibly disappointed. We won't be going back.

I ate here Saturday and it was colder inside than outside. They gave us some tap water without ice in a plastic container with some small white foam cups that you would have at a kids birthday party. We ordered half cheese and half pepperoni. The cheese side head no cheese to the point where you seen the crust. The cheese taste old. Sorry but want refer anyone to this place ever....
