This place is inside a market hall and the hall itself is small but this was a solid pick The pizza didn't take too long, was hot and crust was slightly crunchy with a bit of chew We got the grandma pizza & split it between my husband and I and it was *just* enough food for us 2 though we are medium size eaters I wanted to try the hot honey because it looked good but we had enough food already ha Pizza was ~$20 Kind of a no frills shop, counter service, they yell your name when done Street parking outside or decks nearby. It's Sunday so we found free street parking near discovery science read more

Nice little counter service pizza joint located in a food hall in downtown Charlotte. Was drawn to it due to all the positive review. Of course Yelpers didn't disappoint, as the pizza and ingredients are pretty darn good. You can get a personal 10" pizza for about 14.99. Took it back to my hotel room to grind on. read more

The veggie pizza was a hit but only until it cooled down . For some reason that I can exactly pin point , it just wasn't as good when it was hot . Either way this is solid pizza I'd recommend especially with limited options . Wait time was about 15 minutes. read more

We stopped into 7th Street Market before the Hornets game and got this pizza for the first time. Delicious!! Our 6 year old loved it. We got 2 small pies and it was perfect for 2 adults and 1 kiddo. Super nice staff! They told us 25 mins and it ended up being about 15. Definitely recommend! read more

One of the best pizzas I've tried in the city! Bummer that it's downtown and parking is tricky (not good) I tried the hot honey pepperoni. OMG. I brought it to a pizza party and it won hands-down. I will be back to try other things. read more

Visited Charlotte for an event and this spot had great reviews. It's located in a food mall downtown. The woman who took my order was great in explaining the menu to me. I overall thought it was just an ok pizza. Not bad at all but didn't blow my mind. All in all, a decent pizza. I'd give it a 3.5 stars. The food mall had a lot of different options, definitely a vibe to bring a friend group. read more

Only got the grandma pie with pepperoni, but it was amazing. The sauce is on point, crust perfectly crispy and soft and the flavors blend so well together. The only shortfall was that the cheese was slightly cold so it wasn't super melty (I also did pick up so I didn't get it fresh). I am 100% planning on coming back and trying their other options! read more

BEST SAUCE IN CHARLOTTE!!! The margarita pizza and white pie were delicious!!! We got 2-10inch pies with a house salad. You can tell they did not cheap out on ingredients!!! From the sauce to the cheese to the dough; ALL fantastic!! So glad we stepped out of our regular pizza spot to try this GEM Also loved their house dressing!!!! And how they chopped up a lot of the ingredients on the salad. Nicely DONE Customers for SURE! read more

Located in a kitschy bohemian food court in uptown Charlotte. The atmosphere here is cool and eclectic. The service was fast and friendly. The pizza was good, but missed expectations given the high rating on Google. I had a plain pepperoni. Generally crispy, but foldable crust, the dough and sauce had good flavor. It tasted fresh and the price was fair for this style and quality. A 10 inch might be good for 2 people if you had a salad or another side, but I put away the whole thing and washed it down with a beer from the tap across the court. No major complaints, just not worth of 5 stars. read more

Great service, friendly staff. Fresh, fast, made to order pizza. I love the 7th Street Market because while I waited I purchased a glass of wine from another vendor. The Market is such a nice space. Pizza was delicious!!! read more

When you walk into 7th Street Market the first thing you smell will be Geno D's Pizza. And it smells good! Staff at the counter were friendly and helpful when placing my order. I got a 10" pizza and 3 garlic knots. Both exceeded expectations. The sauce they use is delicious. Yes, you can find better pizza in the world but for a tiny little location in a marketplace, this stuff is great. I'm already craving more garlic knots! read more

We were in Charlotte for the night and got this pizza delivered to where we were staying. It was really good, thin crust, very savory, you could tell the dough was fresh! I definitely would visit this place again next time we are in town read more

Found this place when we parked in the 7th Street Parking Garage so the location was definitely convenient. It's located in a food hall with a few other vendors around so lots of options. The service was fast! The cashier was super nice. They did validate my parking. My daughter had the pepperoni pizza which she loved. I ordered the pizza knots which I did not love. There wasn't enough to them. When I eat garlic knots I need the flavor to be able to standalone in the dough so if there isn't any sauce and cheese I can still enjoy them. That wasn't the case with these. Overall I would try pizza the next time I go and maybe I will enjoy that better. read more

1. Meat Pizza - Topped with a generous amount of Pepperoni, sausage, bacon, ham, and meatballs. The crust is soft to chew. A carnivore's delight. The only negative thing I will say....more sauce is needed. #GratuityAdded 2. Cinnamon Knots - A crispy on the outside and soft on the inside bread knot topped with warm chocolate sauce, cinnamon, and powdered sugar. Some of the best I've had. #Top5CLT #CltPizza #7thMarket #CLTeats #CltUptownEats #CltFoodies #charlottesgotalot #OfflineCharlotte #OfflineCLT #GenoDs #cltdesserts #keeppounding #ally CLTFC #JCSUHOCO #BacktotheFord #CLTAgenda #LunchCLT #CLTHalloween read more

Updated review: We went back today to Geno D's and had an amazing time! The pizza is excellent and no exaggeration it's the best in Charlotte. We talked to the owner Gina and she was so nice. She even offered to slice my 3 years olds pizza into some squares without us asking. You can tell she is a genuine good person who really loves her job. I highly recommend Geno D's! read more

The grandmas pizza was ok. Realize it is a Sicilian style but thin crust and definitely not worth the price tag. The chicken Parmesan on Focaccia was absolutely awful. It tasted like cold chunks of grilled chicken with a little gluey cheese. There is no breading or seasoning. The sauce they provide on the side. As a New Jerseyan, I held high hopes for this based on the recommendations and was quite disappointed. If you want authentic Italian taste for pizza and sandwiches try Due Amici. Best I've found in the area but they don't deliver or use apps. They don't need to, it is that good. read more

Ordered the hot honey pizza. Crust was average crunch. Seemed very greasy. I will try them again but maybe something else

Wow the reviews are so well earned! The focaccia bread was fluffy, cheesy and delicious. The pizza had a thin but crisp crust with a perfectly seasoned sauce and lots of pepperonis. They do not offer slices but do offer a small and larger pizza options read more

Garlic knots to die for made this experience spectacular. Plenty of seating, cute interior. The whole food market looked delicious, and I'd love to come back and try some of the other spots. We got a large pizza to share and it was served hot, fast, and delectable. Very glad we found Geno D's. Cheese forever!! So glad I'm not lactose intolerant for what a cruel curse that would be. read more

This is the closest to north eastern pizza and hot Italian sandwiches you'll get around here. Bread is phenomenal on pizzas and focca sandwiches. Crispy and perfectly baked. They always do you good with pizza toppings (even the premium ones) and they taste great. Also their grandma Sicilian is incredible, that pesto sauce they use is one of a kind. People there take care of you and are patient. I say some improvements is that the to-go salads all have dressings on side (a lot of places do this but some places up north mix in which I miss) and the cheese for the pizza needs a little more of a kick. I like this place a lot so want to give friendly feedback. Recommend you try if you looking for pizza in Charlotte. read more

I always love trying places in 7th Street Market. It's a nice, casual vibe. It was my first time here. We didn't order pizzas beforehand because reviews said it was pretty fast. We may have hit a busy time but we waited over 30 minutes, so I would suggest ordering online. I expect this is what most customers do. I really enjoyed my cheese pizza. The crust was nice and crunchy but very cheesy. I would definitely come back. read more

Great pizza - really love the thing crust (but not cracker tasting). I'm also a huge fan of the tiny pepperoni that crisps up (which they have). Even delivered to our air bnb by a deliver service the food was great which means it has to be even better right there fresh. read more

My husband and son had lunch here while I ate from another spot in 7th street market. I did sample...I actually ate half...of the garlic knots...best I have ever had. They were stretchy doughy with crispy outside! They had pizza that my son loved. The pepperoni was crisp which is always a plus! Then my husband got me some cannoli. They were perfectly crisp shells with a delicious filling. All served quick and love eating at the community tables in the food hall. read more

I came to Geno D's to try this pizza everyone's been raving about on Yelp. Needless to say, I was not disappointed. Not only did they honor my Yelp coupon for free garlic knots but the pizza was fresh, hot and delicious. I actually tried the eggplant parm pizza which I found to be super unique and well executed. The eggplant was not overwhelming or soggy at all (which eggplant can be sometimes depending how you prepare it). I came with my dog and sat outside to enjoy my pizza. I couldn't finish the whole thing and ended up having some leftover for lunch the next day - so good value for the price. The owner is super sweet and took the time to tell me about her family owned business. This place is an excellent option if you're looking for delicious fresh pizza, not something frozen or premade. read more

Geno D's is probably closer to 4.5 stars but I refuse to give them a 4 -- they don't deserve that. Located in 7th Street Market, it's a small space basically made for takeout orders. The pizzas come out fairly quick and service is good but just know this isn't an NY grab-and-go kind of place. All the pizzas here are great, especially the hot honey which is simply fantastic. The Margherita is so good as well. Really, you can't go wrong here -- this is probably the best pizza in Charlotte. read more

Was at 7th St Market this morning when the gentleman in front of me offered to buy my coffee- it was Geno himself! He was so kind and friendly, I could tell he really valued the community at 7th St. Between Geno and the great reviews, I came back from lunch. The caprese sandwich was DELICIOUS! Super fresh ingredients and awesome bread. The staff was super friendly and provided recommendations. Such an awesome spot, go for Geno and the great food! Might come back to try the pizza tomorrow :) Update: I did come back the next day, great service yet again. Gena is the best! The pizza was awesome, definitely top tier of CLT pizza. Really recommend Geno's! read more

In Charlotte for a work thing and as a pizza enthusiast from New York City, I was curious to see what Geno D's had to offer. At first blush, it certainly had the smell. Even in a food hall with a dozen restaurants, you can smell the basil and the garlic from the moment you walk through the door. The staff was friendly and polite. I went with the large round cheese pie and came away incredibly impressed. The crust was crispy on the bottom and soft and chewy in the center. The cheese had just the perfect amount of pull to it and the sauce was vibrant and flavorful. The pie came out hot and fresh after about 10 minutes or so. I shared the pie with my group of New York City pizza snobs and everyone came away impressed. Long story short, if you're in Charlotte for work or even if you're a local, Geno D's stands up with the quality pizza joints in New York City. Excellent pizza aside, the staff was fantastic. There was a bit of a weird incident when my pizza came out and the staff could not have possibly handled things any better. While putting my fixings on the pie as any God-fearing pizza enthusiast should, I noticed there was no garlic powder and informed the staff. They apologized then told me someone probably brought it to their table and they'd go retrieve it for me. Turns out someone did bring the garlic to their table. No biggie, right? Except that when the staff member asked to have the garlic back so another customers could use it, he refused. Instead, he went on a bizarre diatribe with the staff member about why he didn't want to give it back. After listening politely, the staff member told him that my pizza was getting cold, then brought me the garlic. Turns out this rude guy claimed to be a food influencer who was incensed the garlic was taken away to be used by another paying customer. The rude garlic lover was about 4'10 wearing lumberjack plaid and he threatened to give them a bad review and urge his alleged 8 million followers not to patronize their establishment. Putting his obvious lack of pizza etiquette aside, this is simply a staggering display of bad form. It's also petty, especially when he was obviously in the wrong. Anyways, go to Geno D's, a pizza joint that even New York City pizza snobs will love. And if for any reason you see a diminutive dude hoarding the garlic powder, for the love of everything holy, DO NOT disturb him! We wouldn't want him to cause any problems for local businesses. read more

Went here with my boyfriend this weekend and we really enjoyed it. The crust on the Old School Grandma pie had such unique texture. The hot honey pizza was good but to be honest I have had better... although not in Charlotte. There was a bar just across from the pizza spot with lots of great beer on tap. (Resident Culture I think) The food hall has a totally laid back vibe and is a great spot if you can't agree on a spot. We would go back if we were in the area again. read more

Expecting sit down restaurant I was surprised when we showed up to find a food hall. After getting an uber here we thought heck the reviews are good why not!

Finally got the chance to try the infamous Geno D's pizza. Geno D's is located within the Market at 7th street. There are plenty of great food and drink spots to enjoy the night on a date or with friends. Upon arrival we were greeted and put our order in. I was informed that the grandma pizza only comes in one size. The pizza turned out to be enough for two. The pizza smelled and looked delicious. The pizza itself tasted good but it wasn't the best pizza I've ever had and wouldn't necessarily be my first go to. I do think it still had quality products and would please the average person. I'll certainly go back to try more food. read more

My daughter and I were across the street watching my son play pickup soccer and we both got hungry so we came to the market. As soon as we walked in the aroma of pizza was enticing so I followed the scent to Geno D's. My daughter and I were looking for a few slices so the 9x13 pie was the perfect choice, it was striped with red sauce, pesto and cheese which made each bite taste a bit different. And a good score was the 3 FREE garlic knots and red sauce with my Yelp checkin. This was the perfect amount of food and it was fantastic! The garlic knots were, go figure, garlicky and tasted great with the side of red sauce. And the pizza pie was crispy and tasty. I highly recommend Geno D's if you're near the blue line and 7th. 5 stars! read more

I was so excited to try this place bc of TikTok reviews. I had no clue it was in a food hall and almost impossible to find. I got the grandma pizza and it was on focaccia bread and was super burnt and tasteless. I would rate it a 1. School pizza is better than this. The focaccia dough is so tough it's really hard to bite off. Beyond disappointed. The pizza knots were ok tho since they were actual pizza dough. I would rate those a 4. Maybe note on the menu that it is focaccia as the grandma pizza's dough. Very misleading. Would not recommend whatsoever. read more

Found this fun little spot in the middle of the Market at 7th Street. The staff was mixed - some were polite and welcoming, some not so much. The salad was huge and filled with fresh ingredients. When we ordered the salad without cheese we were asked if it was for a preference or an allergy. This gave us confidence that the dairy allergy would be taken seriously. When we received our order, the employee at the pick-up window confirmed that it was dairy free. The pizza was a good portion as well. The crust was light, crisp and flaky, not soggy as is the case many other places. Although we did not order it, they do have gluten-free crust and vegan cheese options on their menu. read more

I love Geno D's. You can't go wrong with anything on their menu, honestly. Garlic knots are tasty as hell.

The food is delicious! Next time you go to 7th street market be sure to stop her and get not only the pizza, but also the cinnamon knots, they are the best!!! Perfect addition to the calzone. Everything was cooked perfectly. The staff was so friendly and helpful checking on me and even bringing me the food when they realized I was full with a baby. So impressed with this place and the staff! There is plenty of seating area with large tables at the market that are constantly being cleaned. read more
