I have only ordered out from Generoso's but I'll tell ya. Their (Italian) Beef and (Giardinera) Peppers pizza is out of this world good. My new favorite. I have been looking for a place that does giardinera pizza since Charlottes in Barrington closed during pandemic. I will happily drive down to Glendale Heights for it. read more

Forever on the lookout for a new pizza place we gave Generoso a try. It's nothing to write home about but it fit the bill as an alternative to Little Caesar's (which we were in desperate need of). The flavor profile was solid as was the size of the pie. And the cost was on par. We'd try it again. read more

Our Boss loves to order from here, but I don't see what the hype is. I'm honestly their best employee and they never listen to my pizza recomendations. I miss show piz pizza. He orders double dough which at that point might as well just buy bread, forget the pizza; and pineapple pizza you probely already know who I'm talking about who else would do that , no true blood American that I know. Any Who I guess the thin crust pizza is AIGHT' -Personaly I think chicken on pizza is the best BAWK!- in case you didn't know that what chicken says. Your Pal PJ. read more

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...

Great pizza slices! The slices were fresh. Friendly staff! They have enough room to eat inside when you are in the go. Great lunch special! Slice & soda for $5.25 read more

I've been coming here for years but never again. Pizza wasn't cooked. The cheese was still cold. The cashier was wearing a giant gun necklace with lots of ink and dirty hands. It's really gone down hill. read more

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. read more

Would have given them a 5 star except (for some reason) all the chairs have been removed and customers are no longer permitted to dine-in. Hope this wasn't for some sort of safety violation. Meanwhile, the food and service is consistently good. read more

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! read more

Generoso Pizza - Pepperoni pizza slice - Pizza Near Me - Glendale Heights, Illinois

The pizza is way too good. It has nice staff they talk to you friendly. I always order pizza. It has good deals.

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! read more

Pizza is so good service is fast friendly staff takes less than a minute for the food

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. read more

This pizza is always amazing! The wings are really good too. Love the double dough!!

We really liked the pizza and are happy it's nearby. The crust is my favorite!!! Get the double dough.

This is our Friday (and Saturday) (and sometimes slices during the week) regular pizza place. It is without question the best pizza I've ever had. The staff...wonderful. The chicken tenders...wonderful. The pasta...wonderful. The pizza...wonderful. I truly can't say enough good things. Order your catering or pizza nights from here. Support local QUALITY business. read more

I ordered for delivery yesterday because my car was being borrowed. I had tried a single cheeseburger in the past from Generoso and remembered how good it tasted. Well, I was really hungry, so I ordered a double cheeseburger, a fry and a Coke. Let me tell everyone that this burger was one of the best I have ever had. Cooked perfect and juicy with everything on it (I added mayo from home) Five Guys, or any other place has nothing on Generoso's for any food you have a taste for. I would definitely get this burger again. The pizza is fantastic here too- especially the hot giardiniera with beef. The staff and manager/owner are super friendly. If you want a fantastic burger this is the place. This is why my family are forever customers. read more

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. read more

Generoso Pizza - Half cheese half sausage 14" pizza $15 - Pizza Near Me - Glendale Heights, Illinois

Who has two thumbs and likes deep fried pizza? This guy!!! So my brother and I were in the mood for a slice the other day and I usually hit this place up for their panzarotti (deep fried calzone) but wasn't quite that hungry - so we just got the jumbo slices instead. On a side note if you like calzones try the panzarotti - it is further proof that if you can deep fry something it will make it better! So that being said the slice of pepperoni was good and somewhere in between a thin and a double dough. Its was covered in pepperoni so I couldn't complain and they had a side station to load up on chili flakes and the usual green can parm cheese. Overall for around $4 the lunch special for the slice and a pop is a good deal and definitely enough to fill you up without making you feel like you need a nap. In all honesty I still go here basically for the panzarottis. If you have never tried one before give it a chance and you wont forget it. read more

Great pizza and other delicious Italian food. Been a steady customer for rears ... never disappointed!

Had this pizza for the first time today during the game. It was fine. I'd say the edge pieces were better than the middle. I think they were under cooked. I prefer my pizza to be crispy rather than doughy. That's my take after just a first try. Will see if another try makes sense. Definitely open to it... read more

Great service and great pizza! Doubke dough sausage and cheese slice was AmaZing!! Crust was nice and soft, my teeth are still in tact. Not too much sauce that I've got acid reflux or heart burn, it was jjuuuussssttttt right. I wish they had locations closer to home. But I will certainly be returining offen for the duration of my internship. Oh! And fair prices too :) read more

Generoso Pizza - Outside window - Pizza Near Me - Glendale Heights, Illinois

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.

Ive lived around the corner from this place for 10 years and the other day was the first time ever i tried their pizza. The slices are huge, the sauce was just right not to much or little and not too sweet. The toppings were very generous. As a native of western NY I have to say this is the closest i've come to a buffalo style pizza the entire time ive lived here. Its Wonderful! read more

These guys make the best gosh-darn pizzas. Everything is fresh and they don't skim on toppings. Menu items are decently priced and they always have amazing deals going on. You know how you know the pizza is amazing? You reheat it the next day and it still tastes great. It also helps that this joint is only 200 feet from where I live lol. read more

Outstanding Friday night dinner. We ordered a medium cheese and garden salad for the kids. We also ordered the Four Stack and Chef salad. We requested paper plates, napkins and Parmesan cheese packets. This was our first time ordering. It definitely won't be our last. So good, kids were really pleased licking fingers and all. Good quality cheese and wonderful flavors. read more

Generoso Pizza is a small Pizzeria located in a little strip mall off of Army Trail Road in Glendale Heights. I happened to be nearby and had time to waste and decided to stop in and look over the menu. There's a few tables set up for dining in, along with a TV and a big order counter. After stopping in I looked over the options and noticed a two hot dog special. I decided to give it a try and within about 5 minutes my food was ready. The two hot dog special here consists of two Chicago style hot dogs and fries. The hot dog here came on a classic Chicago style poppy seed bun. The bun was soft with no signs of dryness. There were two fairly thick pickle spear/pickle slices on the dog. Neither were quite as long as the sausage itself, but fortunately neither were too sour either. The actual hot dogs used here were skinless dogs, they were well heated and tasty. There were some thinly sliced tomato slices on the dog, some short sport peppers. And a good application of onion, mustard and relish. The only thing really missing from this hot dog was celery salt. Everything went together fairly well outside of the thick pickle slices. The fries included here were fairly thick fries, they weren't too salty but were a bit bland as far as the potato paste goes. They were certainly plentiful with the hot dog special. These fries neither blew me away, nor was I sick of them after a few. So I'd say they're slightly above average but not great. While I've not actually tried the Pizza here, the hot dog special was good, and I'd recommend it. I'm going to give Generoso pizza a four star rating. Good food at a fair price. read more

Generoso Pizza - Two hot dog special - Pizza Near Me - Glendale Heights, Illinois

On my quest to try every pizza place on earth, I decided to try this place after driving by one million times. Ordered a pizza to pick up. Half pepperoni, half sausage. I get this combo quite often when trying out a new place because I like to find out about the quality of their sausage + pepperoni. Went in to pick up the pizza and had a short chat with the owner. Very friendly guy. Onto the pizza.......it was alright. Not special in my book. The sauce was a little on the sweet side. Not crazy sweet but I still picked up on it. I prefer a more acidic sauce as my choice but I'm open to try them all. Crust, Cheese + toppings were alright, a little heavy on the cheese. A big factor in having a great pizza is balance in the ingredients. A little hard to explain but when it's there, you know it. Neapolitan style is my favorite, but I like all types of pizza. This pizza was only OK to me but I'm sure others will like it more who prefer a sweeter type sauce. My quest continues for the perfect 'Za and I have a few new leads. Bottom line is this: Always support your independent pizzeria owner. Always!! read more

I love this place for lunch and ordered it whenever we had meetings. Everyone loved the pizza. The taste is excellent and the double crust is the best. Nicest people too. read more

Hair in food. Never coming back. Clown on door almost scared me away. Change advertising. Still says its Christmas time and its June.

I order here whenever I'm visiting family in the suburbs. Staff is always very friendly. Pizza is really good Fast service.

1st off I'm a pizza snob, Lou Malnati's sausage fan(feel sorry for your taste buds). Wish I gave this place a shot couple years ago, by FAR best za in 5 mile area, Pronto's ownership/mgmt could care less about frequent customers, Levato's ingredients have gone in the "can", Generoso manager personally greeted me on my 1st order & pointed out coupons, their sauce very mild, I had dbl dough, u can taste garlic & basil in the crust & hooked, let's keep them around for years to come read more
