Experience: I have been wanting to try this place for a long time. I had an appointment close by and decided to stop and try it. Facility: Cute place... order at the counter and sit where you want. They have some tables and chair with half booths, and high top tables and chairs too. Service: The guy who helped was nice and patient while I decided. He was helpful when I asked questions. The only thing I didn't like is I forgot my coupon that is in the flyers every week, and he could have given me the discount... it's not like they are hard to get... I just forgot it at home. But I suppose some people stick to the rules no matter. Food: now this was the main reason for the markdown. Maybe people hyped this place up too much and I expected more... but I was disappointed. Fried ravioli - 4/5 they taste good but some barely had any cheese inside. White pizza - 4/5 very good flavor but it was a little too mild. Some bites were bland and some were flavorful. Meat lovers - 2.5/5 This pizza was bland, not enough cheese, and we were not a fan of either of the sausages on the pizza. Carrot cake - 5/5 this was delish ... moist and good flavor. Overall: I did take the food to go, so maybe that was why we didnt enjoy it as much, or maybe my expectations were too high. I would like to come back and try some other items because so many people say this place is amazing. read more

Genuinely friendly service and GREAT pizza and desserts - i've been here a couple of times both eating in and carry out. - clean hospitable place for dining in. - owner (?)/ manager (?) Took my payment once and introduced me to the desserts. It clearly takes pride in them, pointing out that the cheesecake is shipped from New York no less. He talked about, he started working with a new bakery in Orlando. It has problems keeping the cakes in. They're so delicious, particularly the Reeses peanut butter cake and the orange dream (?) Cake. I have had the tiramisu and look forward to trying the others. PIZZA consistently fabulous. ATTACHED is the partial picture of the italian bomb, eighteen inch pizza pie with pepperoni, cherry peppers, italian sausage and a bunch of other stuff. Crust has a slight char and chewy like all NYC pizza should be. Seriously worth a try! read more

The owner and staff here were an absolute delight! The girls at the front were friendly and attentive from start to finish. We tried the regular cheese, Detroit pepperoni, white, and grandma pizza -- all were amazing. Their HUGE NY-style slices are the real deal with ingredients straight from Brooklyn, and the fresh basil on the grandma pizza was perfection. What stood out most was the customer service and feeling like being back at home. I mentioned and joked about a past issue with a shrimp parm hero from their other location, and the owner immediately addressed it, offered recommendations, and even invited us back to try it again on the house. We also got to try the stuffed zeppoles... absolutely out of this world! Highly recommend. read more

Maybe it's just me, but I wasn't a fan of this pizza. Everyone has their own preference when it comes to pizza- I like my pizza not overly cooked ...I know others like their pizza well done or crunchier ...I am not that person . The crust was overly cooked and that completely ruined it for me. It was also really greasy. I'm the only one that didn't like it though- everyone else loved it read more

The best pizza I've had in Florida! Their meatballs with cheese and zeppoli (probably spelled that wrong) are Amazing! Our go to pizzas are bacon and pepperoni pizza and their white/garlic pizza!

So good! The slices are huge! The garlic knots are super soft too. I came in with a couple coworkers for lunch one day in military uniform and a random man gifted us all gift cards as a thank you (soo nice of him) so I brought someone for dinner the next week to use it. The owner/manager (I think I heard someone call him Charlie?) was constantly checking to make sure everyone was good. He even randomly gave us a free slice of cake at the end! The chocolate cake is so good!! read more

The food is hot and tasty. The staff was very friendly in this fast-casual space. One thing I like is they show you the pie when they bring it to you instead of just handing you a pizza box. It is the little things. PROTIP. Ask about the daily special. We got the 14-inch cheese and added toppings. It was half-price over regular cheese pizza. If you like garlic then get the knots. A large order. read more

For years we were willing to drive down Route 1 to get Genna's delicious pizza, because it is so good. That is why we were overjoyed when Genna Pizza Express opened in Suntree. Admittedly there are several pizza restaurants in the area, but none of them can come up to Genna's real Italian, out of this world flavors. Go see for yourself--you'll be glad you did! We don't have any photos--the pizza disappears too fast! read more

I ordered a Stromboli online tonight, to be ready at 5:50. I got there at 5:45 and was told it was just going into the oven and would take about 20 minutes. No apology for the wait. When I got it home, it was covered with garlic, so much so we had to scrape it off. And it wasn't completely cooked inside. The dough was chewy. Very disappointed. Will not be ordering that again. We've been getting pizza from them since they opened in August 2023. They still are struggling with time management. Doesn't matter if you call to place an order, or place an online order - it either sits there and gets soggy or it's not ready when they say it will be ready. Most of the time the pizza is good, but it is hit-or-miss on how quickly they prepare your order. I've learned to place my order then immediately go to the restaurant. I'd rather wait for it to be fresh out of the oven, than have it be soggy and cold. read more

First and foremost, I have to admit that I did not think Slices Pizza would not last long, not…read morebecause of anything to do with their food, but the fact their location has gone through many business changes and Slices Pizza (which I will shorthand to SP for the remainder of the review) was the location's current... well... identity. Maybe the biggest reason why SP, or the location SP is at, is often passed by is how entering and exiting the strip mall is setup. You have to drive all the way to the other end of the strip mall to enter and exit despite SP being on the other end of the strip mall with no entrance/exit of their own. I would have passed SP if it weren't for my church's decision to eat here for lunch after service. Ergo, this is my first time eating here, and I hope it won't be my last. What I got was very good, but compared to other Italian and/or pizzerias, I have to rate them on the high-end of average. As I always say, I compare American pizza to American pizza in accordance to location. If I really wanted to be a stickler, almost ALL American pizza - which includes the BIG3 (New York, Chicago, Detroit) - would be severely lacking compared to traditional Italian pizza that I have eaten from Italy. But as an American slice, what SP serves is on average, but like I said, high-end. I ordered the margherita and caprese pizzas and they were cooked well in their brick-style oven and served conditionally well. However, there are many pizza places that have the same expertise and deliver the same quality. With that in mind, SP is good, but just as good as the "common good" pizzeria. To me, they don't have the standout as Genna or Pizza Gallery. The garlic knots, well, they were good, too. Can't really mess up garlic knots unless you really try to. And to top it off, the restaurant had the overarching themes of a typical New York style Italian restaurant (Italian flags, checkered tableclothes, etc.) and the staff was both helpful and friendly. Restrooms, at least the men's restroom, was clean, too. Ultimately, I would return here if I happen to want pizza and be nearby, but I am not driving out of the way to eat here. Like I said, SP is not bad, but they are a dime a dozen thus far. Maybe my review will update when I try their classic Italian dishes, but as of now, I am simply saying they are good, and if you choose to eat here at least for the pizza, you wouldn't do anything wrong choosing them. If SP's food stands out from other Italian restaurants, then I might consider improving the rating. However, if they remain good on averge across the board, they'll get another star if they are at least consistent.

Both the dough and tomato sauce at Genna are exceptional. The pear base on the Manhattan was a little sweet for my taste, though I eat a mostly sugar-free diet. The pears were balanced out by the spicy-sweet pepper dews, so I would get it again. Our son is a cannoli expert, as he has had homemade cannolis in over a dozen bakeries in New York and New Jersey.
