We used Uber Eats to have some food delivered to our hotel before the Jelly Roll Concert at Prudential Center. Being from NY we are spoiled when it comes to pizza. I have heard great things about NJ pizza too, well, it's not here. Dough is too thick and chewy, sauce needed flavor. toppings were good and thankfully we added fresh garlic. Mozzarella sticks are average and again, the marinara needs flavor. Wings were pretty good, crispy and well done. I'm sure there is better pizza in Newark. read more

Great customer service over the phone when confirming an order I placed online. Ordered 6 pies for my students for the end of year celebration for a total of roughly $50. Tax and tip brought the total to $65. Came roughly on time. Time requested for delivery was 12 & arrived at 12:15. Pizza tastes great. Restaurant is located on McCarter highway. I have not been inside , but good service overall for delivery read more

Gluten-Free Pizza Review: My partner recently went gluten-free. So he and I have been on a journey to find good alternative pizza crust options. Fortunately, Genc's - one of our local go-to pizzeria spots - has one for him. Tonight we tried their GF pizza and they get two thumbs up from us. Tonight I called in the order for pick-up - two GF pizzas with green peppers and olives (one for each of us). The pizza comes in a foil dish (like a personal pie size) and with an individual pizza cutter, and is placed in a regular pizza box. The pizza is filling/hardy (crust has a good texture and flavor, and goes well with the sauce, cheese, and toppings). You can be full with one pizza (my partner normally can eat two pizzas, but was already tapping out after one of these). It was $15 for the pie and I'd say worth it. You're not still hungry afterwards. Note: GF crust is in no way same as or swappable dup for regular crust pie, but the GF one at Genc's can stand up to the regular crust pie in terms of delivering a tasty pizza pie. read more

WARNING: Ordered zeppole. They arrived so under cooked the interior was sticky. Some were dark gray. You can get sick from under cooked food.

Unless Unreal Deli Vegan Sandwiches is an in-house entity like I learn of another store of which I'm unable to find a location on Google/Yelp because of it being like an in-house entity, I don't know what's going on with Unreal Deli Vegan Sandwiches having the same address as Gencarelli's Pizza Factory. Even so, I'm leaving à good review for Unreal Deli Vegan Sandwiches. I like subs. I like a good sandwich, yes, though cold subs particularly. Now, being in New Jersey AND Vegan, I'm glad about discovering Unreal Deli Vegan Sandwiches. I order The Reuben which is tasty though I don't mind a little more vinegar, salt, and pepper on a Reuben. The entire sandwich is firm-soft. I'm curious about the way other sandwiches might taste especially since Vegan meals can differ in taste so much per brand and/or type of Vegan meat. The Reuben travels well (tasty after about thirty minutes). read more

I swear that I wrote a review for this place already! But I guess that I have not. So here we go! Is this place really 4*? No absolutely not! It should be 2*! But I base my review on many factors. For its category, and what they offer, especially the price, they are clearly 4*. Will you get the best pizza of your life here? Absolutely not, but for $7 its spectacular!!! If it was more expensive, that would cause the stars to fall... So we live decently close to here, and usually get pizza from here 2x a month. It would be 5* if they only sold Pizza lol! We have tried several other items from their menu, but none of them are worth it at all. Yes the rest of their menu prices are very competitive, but the taste isn't there. I find their wings terrible, and I've tried them 3-4x. Mozzarella sticks are solid, but are the typical frozen ones, absolutely nothing special. A big shout out to their funnel fries, those are delicious! The rest of the menu, I could leave. You come here for 1 thing and 1 thing only, the ZA! Is it the best ZA you have ever had? No. You come here because they charge $7 for a whole pie, and most people can eat a whole pie themselves lol! I know I can usually do 6-7 slices. It is a tad bit soggy, but it is very very thin! It could do with a tad bit more cheese, but it's $6 don't complain lol! I will say that getting toppings is not worth it. If you add on extra cheese or pepperoni etc, it adds on $5, almost doubling the price!! Clearly not worth that personally. Pro tip, get it cut into 16, and you can eat each slice in 1 bite!!!! I love their crust!!!!!! I do not know why, but it is sooooo amazing!!!!! I will also add that it does not reheat all that well... So don't over buy and freeze etc. Inside is a classic old school pizzeria vibe. It definitely needs a refresh. They post flyers of specials all over the place. They also do lottery and about 19 other things that they don't really need to be doing. Staff is on the meh side, I do not think that I have ever had an amazing experience here with the staff. They all need customer service training hahaha!!! All in all, a great joint! Go in and get your pizza and get out! read more

Our pizza was pretty good and the customer service was great when making the order. The delivery was on time and the pizza was still warm when we got it. read more

Order from there new location. The old location was a dump so this is an upgrade. The Pizza was OK. Thin crust and the topping was runny. They should get those little plastic table-like devices to put in the center of the pizza as one of the pizzas has the toppings stuck to the box top. It could have been better, but you get what you pay for. :-) read more

Gencarelli's is not messing around. This is your seriously good go-to Italian spot. There is just something comforting about the food you can get at Gencarelli's. The menu is packed with flavor and you seriously can't go wrong with any dish, but figured it was worth sharing some highlights. I am so overly impressed by the everyday specials - the price is incredibly reasonable and the portions will for sure get you fed. Gencarelli's Pizzeria wouldn't have the name if they didn't make some bomb pizzas. My personal favorites are the meatball pizza and Genc's special pizza. You can tell that they put so much love into every single pizza that comes out of the kitchen and the taste shows. On top of pizzas they have pasta and subs that are coated in heavenly tasting sauce. If that wasn't enough, I also got 20% off my first order and will get a discount on my 10th order if I order through their website gencarellispizzeria.com. You know where I'll be for my daily special! read more

My girlfriend recommended this pizzeria because she grew up with this pizza and I tried it for the first time and it was mind blowing. The pizza was 10/10 and $10 for an extra large pizza is super affordable. I was overall very happy with the experience and I would recommended anyone to try this place and show them some love. Peace and love read more

Eh... not quite a 4 star but a solid 3 stars I won't say that I'm in the area frequently but I have driven past this place numerous times and wondered how their pizza would taste. I was out and about all day, parked my car, TOOK MY SHOES OFF(now you know, once those shoes and bra come off it's a WRAP! Lol) Needless to say I just didn't feel like hopping back in my car to drive! So I Ordered delivery from Grubhub. There was a slight hiccup on grubs end. But I called the restaurant and they were able to make the change that I needed. The customer service was good over the phone so hats off to the young lady I spoke to! Delivery driver was pleasant, I looked out for him for all his troubles! Food was still hot when it arrived! Things tasted just as I expected, fried pickles, garlic bread, wings were pretty good. Pizza was a bit bland, although it was deluxe, and the hot dogs...well it's MY FAULT for not specifying NO KETCHUP, I rarely use ketchup, and only in small amounts bc I'm not really a fan of it. But that taught me a lesson. All in all this was an OK experience and I will pay a visit to the establishment next time read more

I have been going to gencarellis since I was in highscool, the new location just changed to mccarter highway and I don't know if they changed the crew as well with the new location, but when I arrived the women at the front was ghetto and was rude to her coworkers. She was also short with me on the phone and you can tell she has no patience for customer service or food service. Besides that I have always loved their pizza and they're deals. The new place interior is also a upgrade and promotes a better ambiance. Just wish she wasn't so disrespectful especially in front of customers. read more

The service is poor. The line to pick orders up is not managed well. I waited 12 minutes for one slice of pizza when the dining area was empty. I asked about this and the person behind the counter told me they were busy. I responded you can not be busy and he asked me how I know he's not busy to which I responded the wait area is empty. I asked to speak with the manager, called and left messages about this and the manager didn't have the courtesy to contact me regarding my concern. I took a picture that shows how empty the lobby was at the time of this occurrence read more

Great pizza and good vibes! I ordered 8 pizzas to be ready in 45 minutes and they made it happen! Through the rain and the traffic they were still hot when I got back. Guests enjoyed it too and made me the hero of the day. Gencarelli's is the real hero! Can't wait to get back and try everything else. Shout out Donna at the register! She was pretty cool read more

Ordered from Gencarelli's for the first time. Delicious thin crust pizza. Great sauce and cheese. We ordered a cheese pie and sausage. Highly recommend esp since the sausage is crumbled. Get it we'll done! read more

This place never gives me any problems. The pizza is delicious and it's made fresh. I also love their grilled chicken Caesar salad.

It sounds trite, I know. But this is the best pizza around. All due respect to my local boys at Soho, these folks know how to make a bacon and sausage pizza. If you order with extra bacon and extra sausage, be forewarned -- you may just get the entire pig. I've never seen so many toppings in a pizza. Each slice was a workout just to lift to my mouth. Great pizza, and I'm quite grateful that they deliver all the way to Montclair. read more

I ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo! This was a DISGUSTING OILY GREASY MESS! I could not believe they would sell something so so OILY! In my picture I took several paper towels, and the grease into them was unbelievable! Uber Eats would not grant me a refund. I told them it was inedible. Whatever you do, don't order this. read more

I was in the area craving a plain slice and decided to stop in gencarelli's and I'm glad I did! That slice hit the spot and brought me back that evening to order a whole pie. It's honestly the best deal I've seen in the area! You cannot go wrong with a large plain pie for $7! Unfortunately they don't do any other slices but plain if you want to buy by the slice. They also offer other toppings by the pie as well. Every pie is made to order so it's fresh! Unfortunately there's no indoor dining so all orders are take-away. There's also a small parking lot located right out front. read more

I love this place but tonight y'all gave a sista cold pizza and chicken why? You're less than 2 miles from me. For the delivery and extra fees as well as gratuity I'm not happy tonight. read more

This review is unfortunate because I like the food. Normally I order directly from restaurant over the phone but a few Sundays ago I had the rudest young lady on the phone. She must have been busy because she kept putting me on hold. When she came back on the line I said "Sounds like you are busy". She replies: "Yes. We are always busy". Then she kept saying "I can't hear you. speak up!" Her tone was awful. I then say, no worries I will order on the app. She VERY RUDELY says "Good Luck With that. We have no control on when or how your order arrives". She than HUNG UP ON ME! First off, I was not trying to go through a third party app. I know how that works. I call directly. Secondly, who says I wanted it delivered? I would have picked it up. My friends were here from out of town and were equally shocked with her rudeness. The 2 stars are for food quality and price. The customer service is awful. I am still really bother by this. read more

I ordered for super bowl Sunday delivery. I placed a few order of wings classic (mild) , honey bbq, teriyaki wings and mozzarella sticks. The mild wings were a little more hot than what I'm use to at other wing spots. The bbq and teriyaki were tasteful and a hit! The mozzarella sticks were really good. The delivery was set for 5:30p and they got to my house 5:28! I was really happy with the punctuality! I will definitely make more orders from this restaurant! read more

Ordered through ubereats. 2 hours later I canceled. After reading these reviews I saved myself .

Not for me. Went here, ordered a pie and when I got home I realized they didn't cut it. I don't know any pizza place that doesn't cut the damn slices. Like...what?! I had to use a knife to cut it. Not only that, it's just not really good, cheese is barely melted an I have slices in the oven as we speak to make it better smh. If I have to do all that AND the flavor isn't great; then it's not worth it to me. read more

I know it's a pandemic but $10 for these tenders is criminal. Safe to safe they taste okay. Pre made frozen ones that you just throw in deep fryer.

Easy example of a business that turns down money. I called and asked for extra cheese on the $6 pie and they said it could not be done. Instead the extra cheese pie would cost me $10.35. How does that make any sense? Had it been an extra $2 I would have paid it but $4 that's absurd. Then I call to cancel because I didn't have any cash and the girl tells me they take card, "as long as you come in". (Never mind the fact that it's a takeout deal) I walk in to pick up the pizza and get charged an extra $1 for using my card. Based on principle, I won't ever come back here. And if you're wondering about the pizza. Mediocre, and some of the crust was burnt as shown in the photo. The taste was nothing special, next time I'll take my money to Dickie Dees up the block. read more

Outstanding pizza. I don't even live in Newark but I started ordering here through DoorDash because the pizza is that good.

Gencarelli's sure doesn't mess around when it comes to catering ! We normally just get lunch midweek or an occasional pizza but decided to use them to cater our event this week and Man great choice. The chicken Marsala is amazing, the penne vodka was yummy, chicken Francese so juicy. We did eggplant rollantine it was so cheesy . Sausage and peppers was authentic like on streets and the chicken tenders the kids loved. Price was perfect AND they took care of picking the cakes up read more
