      Great pizza and have a good takeout service. Also grinders have been delish. Outside seating now that it's warming up.

      This was the first time my husband & I tried Genaros Pizza. We decided to do takeout and eat at home. I ordered an ex-large cheese pizza, half with meatballs. When my husband got home we opened the box only to discover that the whole pizza contained meatballs. My husband doesn't eat meatballs so he had to pick all of them off each slice. I myself really enjoyed the pizza, however it was sad watching my husband pick apart his pizza. I would try Genaros again but I'd check the pizza first before leaving the restaurant.

      It's been a while since I sang the praises of this restaurant. They have some of my favorite pizza in the area so I am here again giving this place 5 stars. Something about their sauce on the pizza it is amazing and we do love it. We always take our pizza to go and eat home so I can't speak about the restaurant experience but all I know is they consistently have really great pizza time and time again. We get our pizza from here pretty much every Friday night so thank you! My son's favorite is the House Pizza. You keep making great pizza and we will keep ordering it! Thanks again! Highly recommended.

      Would like to review since they all have been so positive. Unfortunately I made a reservation 3 weeks before Christmas for dinner for 4. Literally call 6 hours before reservation date and was told they could not honor the reservation. Why book a reservation?

      Will never eat there again and every one I know will also know to not bother.

      Tell me how they "forgot" to call earlier.

      Dinner delivered. Pasta carbonara was good. Disappointed with the dinner salad. Lettuce a slice of tomato and cucumber. Salad dressing wasn't in the bag. Delivery was great and timely.

      A little gem of a restaurant on short Beach Rd it's well worth parking in the back of the building and walking upfront, now if you enjoy Bacon or Mashed potatoes you have to try there Mashed Potato with Bacon I always order extra bacon (because don't all good pizza include bacon on it) along with cheese pizza and Antipasto salad a little weak it needed a little bit more (green olives-yellow peppers) we ate a table inside very enjoyable, we liked it so much that we made plans to go back with friends the following weekend.

      Two pizzas, mashed potato with extra bacon and the other plane cheese and a Antipasto salad

      The Food is excellent, the customer service is unmatched. Have had multiple entrees and all are top shelf. Delivery is always on time and the pricing is fair and reasonable.

      Always offering great quality food at a reasonable price. The pizza is very good with just the right amount of s spice in the sauce, great ratio of sauce to cheese and a crispy and chewy crust.
      I LOVE their garlic bread it is loaded with garlic and cooked to perfection.
      Great local place for a last minute dinner. Offering fast, friendly delivery.

      Recently ordered a pizza from Genaros. Been wanting to try! Got a medium with cutlet and cherry peppers on it. Pie was good size, sauce good but was a little disappointed how sparse the toppings were especially the chicken cutlet. Some pieces of pizza didn't have cutlet on them or only a tiny piece. Not sure if it was a fluke or not but will probably give them a second chance down the road.
