    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

    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!

    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.

    Not the pizza I want when I'm looking for a crunchy crust and fresh topping pizza. More like if you're looking for pizza for kids...

    The pizza has a good taste. The crust is a bit thick for my liking. The other appetizer items I have tried have been good.

    Discovered this delightful little gem randomly when my wife looked through the weekly ad packets…read morethat get delivered and she normally tosses out. Not gonna lie, Australians have meat pies as a common food, and I'm not sure why the hell it's not caught on more in the US. Meat+ pastry +small size = amazing. They've a nice big selection of meat pies and rolls, prices were surprisingly reasonable, and their pastries won me over quite easily. (Cinnamon rolls and scones!). I was surprised my kids liked the pies and rolls too. My son's pretty picky (ugh), but he asked for a 2nd sausage roll which was nice to see. Didn't finish it, but even liking it enough to ask for another and eat half is like Xmas come early for us. Flavors and textures are great! Just watch burning your tongue... which I did twice in our visit. Worth it though. Wanted to make sure I post up here since it's a local place opened recently and need it to stick around for a good long time. Only other place to get meat pies is downtown chicago which is annoying to get to.

    I've spent some time talking to the owners Brett and Shae and they couldn't possibly be nicer or…read moremore generous! The food is really unique and delicious. I have been back several times. I'm a sucker for the lemon slices, honey joys, and "flagship" sausage rolls (haven't tried the jalapeno and cheese or the others but I will). If you're looking for something different for a meeting or luncheon that will make everyone happy and have them still talking about it weeks later, I'd hit them up for a catering order. Prices are more than reasonable, and to be fair, everyone already knows what they're getting when you bring in the usual green boxes and cups with the same logos on them. Put some sausage rolls, lamingtons, and homemade Aussie scones down on the serving table instead and watch the reactions. They have some vegetarian and vegan options, but you should probably call and talk to them about it because I don't know all the processes and they do bake items with and without meat in the same ovens. Some folks are stricter about their diets than others, so just ask. They'll talk to you about anything, really. They're so outgoing and friendly, you always leave feeling you just hung out with your best friends. It seems like we could all use more of that and I really appreciate them.
