    a slice of cheese pizza in a styrofoam container
    Gabby Z.

    Got slices of pizza yesterday and they were super good as always. The sauce is very tasty and the crust has a garlic taste to it. They still have there specials but now $5 which isn't bad you get a slice with pop. I got a slice of cheese and pepperoni. You gotta try this spot.

    Pepperoni pizza slice
    Stephanie H.

    Ample parking, friendly staff, hot pizza!!! Just flew in to Chicago & wanted a slice of pizza. Found this spot on Yelp & it was close to the hotel. Pizza slices were humongous!!! ...and delicious. Only drawback, it was a little greasy BUT nothing napkins couldn't soak up! . Sat outside to enjoy the weather along w/my slice. Plenty of deals & the prices are reasonable. If you're in this part of Chicago, stop in and grab a slice! You won't be sorry!

    Pepperoni with extra cheese - delicious!
    Karen K.

    I've ordered from Generoso a few times now, and I have to say, their pepperoni is the most flavorful I've had anywhere. I love everything about their pizza (always a thin crust pepperoni here!), except sometimes the crust may be a little tough around the outside pieces. The inner pieces are always perfect. I recommend this place for sure!

    We have lived in this area since 2016. First time trying Generoso tonight. Both of us were pleasantly surprised! Service was prompt and our orders were correct. Hubby remarked how nice it was that he thinks the owner made a point of talking to him. Prices were reasonable! I like the location on Army Trail and the fact that it is on the corner of the strip mall across the street from McDonald's. I had the shrimp meal which was good sized. I would get it again. Hubby had the Italian sausage. Looked big as well and the price was excellent. We would both return.

    Chicago Style Cheese Pizza
    John Z.

    Ordered a Chicago style cheese pizza. It was an okay pizza. I didn't like the ingredients too much. Maybe too much Oregano or some type of spice. Crust was okay as well. People might like the spices on their pizza but for me this was too much.

The price point was on the high side for us but not out-of-reach. We arrived and was immediately sat in the bar; in fact, everyone is sat in the bar. The dining room has about twenty tables, and they were two tables being used; the bar also had about twenty tables and every table was sat. I asked the waiter and they do sit the bar area first and overflow into the dining room. With the bar area at near capacity and all hard surfaces it was very loud. The dining room had carpet floor and a coffered beamed ceiling it was tremendously quiet. If you want the energy of a crowded restaurant the bar is great, the dinning rom is a more upscale experience.  We started with Calamari Friiti, that is the title of the dish. In smaller print the description is Crispy Fried Calamari, Zucchini,  and herbs. What was served was 70% NOT Calamari but thin fried zucchini strips, fried rosemary (literally the twig of rosemary in batter and fried), and fried thyme (the thyme was removed from the twig so I could not even find it., but the waiter said it was there. At $19  expected more Calamari at least 60%, after all the dish was not called "fried herbs and Calamari". Our table had Spaghetti and Meatballs at $24, the Stuffed Pork Chop special (with Broccoli Rabe) at $27, and I had the Eggplant Parmigiana at $20. I get eggplant Parmesan a lot, it is my favorite Italian dish. $20 is high for eggplant Parmesan, I prefer my eggplant thinly sliced and fried. This is more three eggplant steaks with cheese and red gravy. Not my personal favorite but good. The pasta was so unusual I had to ask about it; the waiter said it is made from scratch in house but the shape in an Italian grocery store would be casarecce. I thought $24 for Spaghetti and Meatballs high but my husband said the Meatballs were excellent. Finally, $27 for one Stuffed Pork Chop also seemed high but it tasted great, the garlic white wine sauce made a tasty glaze. We ordered Tiramisu for the table and one person got the blueberry sorbet. I found the Tiramisu traditional and another person thought the mascarpone cheese was whipped too much. I read a several reviews, most of the reviewers praised the service as outstanding; we found our server disappearing for 30 - 40 minutes; we had to call someone over to order desert and another to get the check.

And there's some outdoor seating, when the weather is good. Definitely a local spot that you can just chill and relax at. I've now been here several times and so far everything has been perfect. The staff is always friendly and very accommodating, cordial, and engaging. They seem to go out of their way to accommodate you. And it doesn't feel forced like they have to do it, but just out of good common courtesy. Their thin, cracker crust pizza is something we get every time. Even if it's for just an appetizer, we will get a small and split it up for the table. Really outstanding flavor, great sauce, the "undercarriage" always crispy, and great flavorful cheese. We have gone up and down the menu from appetizers to the main dishes and I've been happy every single dish. As an appetizer, I highly recommend the calamari. With a light batter it's serve with marinara sauce and lemon. We've never seen them overdone or rubbery, which all to common. Ask for a little bottle of Tabasco if you want to add a little heat or kick. The main dishes. Spectacular chicken Vesuvio, chicken Parmesan, chicken Marsala, etc... All Solid! The Italian beef and beef/combo w/ sausage are delicious and quite frankly monstrous. Wow, do you get a lot for your portion here. I would definitely recommend one for that beefy hitter. For me, it's a the beef combo, dipped, with Giardinara, and a side of Au jus. And maybe broil a little provolone on top, if I'm feeling fancy. And honestly, the cakes and desserts are astonishing. The chocolate cake is so delicious and decadent and rich. OMG, I could just go in for a nice coffee and a chocolate cake and I'd be happy. In all, five stars for this place. I will be back on the regular. (honestly, I need to take more pictures. But the food is so good. I start eating it before I can remember to snap a shot)

We were served a really great crusty Italian bread and butter when we sat down. The restaurant was well staffed. Each of us had a good amount of leftovers to bring home. Prices are in line with other Italian restaurants in the area. Even a little less expensive. The server dropped off our bill. I usually don't look through the bill. My bad. This time I wanted to be sure we were charged the Special $8.00 Vodka Rigatoni special and not the regular $12.00 price for the dinner. My instincts were right. Our server charged us the $12.00 regular price. We asked a busser to find our server so she could correct it. We waited about 10 minutes for her to come back. She printed off a new bill with the corrected amount. I've had this happen to me before at other restaurants. I'm always a little skeptical about whether it was an honest mistake or if the server was trying to pull one over on us. I did not subtract any stars from my review since the amount was corrected, Husband reported that the Men's room was immaculate. We plan to return. We were happy with our experience.
