So I arrived here late on a biz trip. Talked to a security guard at another spot that was shutting dow and he reccomend this place. The Front was a pizza joint walked to the back full on dive bar. Great music, all genres and had a great local feel. The bartender was a very sweet girl, kept her cool through a very boisterous crowd. Loud, active drinker vibes. It was so cheap, great drinks. Welcoming and my first time in Pittsburgh. Would come back if I landed there again. Great people! read more

Ordered a pizza for delivery. Delivery driver called when he claimed to be here. Dropped me a pin where he was parked. It was a mile away!! Asked him to pull in front of hotel so he canceled the delivery. I called the restaurant and first spoke to a bartender. She was very nice and tried to be helpful. Passed me onto manager. He said order was canceled would not deliver. My husband waited in front of hotel for a half hour in the rain for this. Will never give them my business. And can not recommend it. Only giving one star because it won't publish with no stars read more

One of my favorite pizzas in the city! They have the BEST deals, great consistent quality, and fast, friendly service. I always pick up and the bar area is really cozy and clean. I always want to have a drink but I'm always running home with my pizza! I also love that they're open late! The ranch dressing is tops!! read more

Great food love it here been coming for the last 6 years i've lived downtown but that new bartender with the dark hair has horrible customer service and had an attitude during the entire interaction and proceeded to blow me off. Would recommend the food 100% wouldn't recommend sitting at the bar with her. read more

Downtown Pittsburgh, around midnight after a day in the hot sun at PNC park. We were starving! Did a Yelp search of who was open and found this gem! Got a hot fresh pizza in the lobby about 20 minutes after ordering. The in shop crust was soft, but had that perfect crunch on the bottom, the toppings generous. Okay let's face it. We were hungry. But still, this is one of the top 5 pizzas I've ever had. My wife and I started think let's just have 2 or 3 slices. We put it in the fridge, and 10 minutes later, I catch her getting another slice. We finished it off. It was that good. So, when you are in the Pitt, give this place a try. read more

Mediocre. Variable. Was our go-to because it was convenient for our location, but quality just kept going down. Sometimes the food is just a bit sketchy (and who needs that?) Not clean or well kept up. There are better places in the neighborhood, and we'll be frequenting them, not Genoa from now on. read more

Genoa's is the kind of spot you're always glad you walked into. The pizza is amazing--crispy, flavorful, and always hits the mark. Drinks are super affordable, which is rare to find these days, and the whole place has a laid-back, divey charm that's hard to beat. Service is consistently great. Paige in particular is fantastic--friendly, attentive, and keeps things moving even when the place is packed. You can tell she knows her regulars but makes newcomers feel just as welcome. If you're into good food, no-nonsense drinks, and a place that doesn't take itself too seriously, Genoa's is absolutely worth a stop. read more

Absolutely the worst Calzone I've ever had! It was nothing but grease, completely inedible! Very little ricotta! When placing the order the price on the menu was $12.49 plus 1.66 for the sausage, he charged me $17 and change, when I brought this to his attention he quickly corrected it! ( buyer beware ) guess they will overcharge you if they can! read more

I ordered a pepperoni pizza from door dash from this place because it came up as the nearest pizza to my hotel... it was really good! I don't know for sure, but looking at their menu and walking by the next day to see the restaurant, I am guessing they will make a pizza any way you want them to. Anyway the crust was flavorful, the pizza was great and that's that! Not far from PNC park and they deliver late into the night. read more

Genoa's is the perfect dive-bar in every essence. The bar staff is friendly and attentive, yet not overbearing, and always a welcoming comfort should you have arrived to their counter to ease your sorrows. The cozy, classic bar layout & affordable drinks ensure familiarity both from the space itself & the likelihood you'll see a kind acquaintance or longtime friend across the way. Paige makes everyone feel welcome while also maintaining safety& a no-nonsense atmosphere, which truly makes Genoa's a staple whether arriving with a crew or for a solo endeavor. The food is consistently satisfying whether looking for a quick, easy bite after work or seeking sustenance to combat a bout of alcohol overindulgence. Fried zucchini is my particular favorite! Though, any pizza is a classic shareable & everyone raves over their ranch dressing. read more

Glad they were open on New Years Eve (during the day). I guess it's me-I like to say something good, when I also deliver unfavorable reviews. I tried to order on line. But, you can't use a coupon AND order on line. So I called. The phone rang and rang, then disconnected, three times. On the fourth (and final attempt) I did get through. Ordered a pizza for delivery. After over an hour, I called back to see where the delivery was. I was told he tried to deliver but my phone number was wrong. They apparently recorded the number I called from and not my actual number (that I gave them over the phone when I placed the order). Pizza is average, at best. It's cold. Hopefully, when I heat it up it will be better. UPDATE: Nope, the pizza is not good. Hardly any sauce or cheese. Toppings are OK (Pepperoni and mushroom). Perhaps they provide the ranch dressing as a diversion. read more

Deliver man would not ring buzzer to be let in , sat in his car in parking lot till I went and got him, ridiculous,, pizza was burnt and hard ordered sausage on it. I think we counted 6 little crumbles of burnt sausage on a large pizza,,, deluxe Italian hoagie was soggy and all mostly bread,, 43.00 bucks,, horrible, won't be ordering from this place, food went in the trashcan. read more

Fairly standard pizza shop. A bit mediocre, but it's not bad, and certainly a few highlights even. They are open very late and the location is interesting (Boulevard of the Allies). I tried the classic cheese calzone and their cannoli. Their calzone came in a solid size. It was a bit soggy, but not insanely so. Some of the cheese was also in clumps, which made for a bit of a strange texture. But overall, it wasn't a bad calzone. Not too bready, and not too oily. Good size. Price was fair enough too. I really quite liked the cannoli. I'm not sure if they are homemade (probably not), but the cannoli cream on the inside was very tasty. Although it was a tad stale, I still enjoyed the dessert. The chocolate felt a bit plasticy though. You get 2 per order. All in all, this is a pretty good spot for pizza and other such items. Prices are fine, portions are solid, and it's open very late. Nothing crazy, but solidly tasty. read more

Let me tell you how you go from being a loyal regular, to NOT giving a place a second chance: I never had a bad experience with this place, since I started ordering from them last year every 2 week. Literally, everything was always perfect. However, I ordered delivery from them the evening of May 28 and this UNBELIEVABLY is what occurred: My order showed up with a cold pizza, that was OVERcooked, where my tomato topping had like LITERALLY (not exaggerating) 1-2 little pieces of tomato on each slice. Ask me about the sauce? Well, I couldn't tell you because IF they put it on, I couldn't find it! The LARGE dinner salad ($12.92) was a small put in a large container. I've ordered from this place over a dozen times and this IS NOT the quality I expect. That's fine, everyone has an off day! So, I called thinking they'd be reasonable... but they didn't even offer store credit. Just said "pizza drivers don't always have pizza containers/bags". So what? Okay, maybe it wouldn't have been COLD, but it was STILL over cooked. This man child "manager" I spoke to initially wouldn't even come to the phone, then made excuses instead of trying to fix the problem. In the 12 minute convo of my time he wasted, it was ALL EXCUSES. Whoever was staffed Wednesday evening May 28 was bottom barrel level compared to all the other positive experiences I've had. I'm out $40 for a salad, pizza and tip... but you'll never get another dollar from me and I'll make SURE to cost you 10X the amount it would have cost you to give me a store credit in good faith for trying you again. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR SHORTFALLS I'd gripe about there being no "0 Star" option, but the ranch dressing and past positive experiences I guess warrant 1. read more

Just had an awful pizza from this place. I ordered delivery because a menu was dropped into my mailbox. Large Sicilian pizza. It seems like the ingredients are old. Very hard crust just separating from the bread, topping layer sliding off. Barely any sauce (dry) and no flavor (bland). Now my stomach hurts. $44 for inedible pizza. read more

I'm a loyal customer of Genoa. I love their buffalo chicken hoagie. It compares very well to Pizza Milano on 5th Ave. I normally have no issue. Today was a different story. I ordered a whole buffalo chicken hoagie for take-out. They gave me a whole italian hoagie. I didn't realize until I got back to my office. I called them about it and let them know. I returned to Genoa and gave them back the italian. They gave me the buffalo chicken. I returned to my office and opened foil wrapper. Half of the buffalo chicken didn't have chicken. It was just cheese and buffalo fries. I brought that hoagie back and explained to them that this was my 3rd time in the store. They said they would make me another hoagie and I could wait. I told them I don't have time to wait as it took my whole lunch break to resolve this issue. I asked them to refund my order. They did refund my order but did not offer anything else as restitution for my time. They lost a very loyal customer that worked right next to them. Everyone in my office was asking me why I kept leaving with my hoagie. I explained to them all the situation. I doubt anyone in my building will be going there anytime soon. read more

The service here was so welcoming. The pizza is delicious. The ambience is cozy and a great place to hang out.

I love this place and their pizza! Hands down the BEST PIZZA I have ever eaten. I loved the old guys making it, it was fantastic. A hole in the wall that people just pass by but they are missing out. I dream about coming back to Pittsburgh just to eat this pizza! I recommend to everyone I know going to the Burgh and even to people from there go eat Pizza here! You will not be disappointed. My New York friend even said it was amazing! read more

After 11 pm craving. Beer and pizza. This place did me justice. Had Yuengling my favorite draft. The pizza was an individual one. Thin crust just like I like it, plenty of sauce and pepperoni was good. It's old school place. Reminded me of a place from the 70's. Just a perfect place for that beer and pizza craving. read more

Thought I'd try a new place so I ordered Genoa delivery. I always try a new place out by ordering a deluxe Pizza and half an Italian hoagie. Well, hoagie was good and had a decent amount of meat and tomatoes and onions (my favorite) and lettuce. But I gave 3.5 out of 5 stars. Pizza was another story. Dry and bland. It seemed like there wasn't any sauce on it at all and how do you make a bland deluxe?? I would imagine it is pretty hard to do! Even the crust was tasteless. Entirely. And I asked for anchovies. I saw one on the whole pie. And tasted them maybe 3 times. So much for this new tryout. One and done. Pizza I give 1 out of 5 stars...(update- Pizza did taste better next day when reheated) read more

Fantastic pizza! We were on vacation and arrived in the city later than expected. Most places were already closed.

Fast service, piping hot pizza and solid drinks. Their prices are super reasonable! Def. Go here, order here, whatever but support this $ local business! Thx Genoa for a great experience. read more

This was my favorite pizza shop in college, but I was disappointed after ordering this evening. I placed an order for a medium pepperoni pizza. It was a 45 minute wait which I understand with staffing shortages and a Saturday evening. However, my pizza arrived immensely dry and lacking flavor. Genoa's used to be one of my favorite pizza's in the city, and I now wouldn't order from there again. I hope they can make improvements to get back to the awesome menu they used to serve. read more

Great light night spot for pizza and drinks. We were in town for a concert that ended around 11:00. We were looking for a place with a kitchen that was still open and found this gem. This place screams old school pizza shop. The pizza is delicious and there is a separate bar where you can get drinks. You know this place is good because all the others hospitality staff from other joints showing up after there places closed. Highly recommend for a way to close out the evening. Cool environment. read more

Great pizza and great service every time. They always deliver a great product and on time!

Best pizza I have ever had in my life! I had the spicy Buffalo chicken ranch pizza and I crave it daily. The ranch...I can drink it with a straw.
