OMG! Had Bruschetta as an appetizer and Sicilian pizza that was the bomb! Authentic food at its best!!!

Best sauce around! Every time we go to somewhere other than Genovese's for Italian fare, we regret it. Chicken parm, eggplant parm, the meatballs, are all wonderful. Attentive staff, clean, prompt service, and delicious food in a casual atmosphere. Forget the high priced alternatives elsewhere in town that try to lure you in my their ambiance. Go to the real deal. Genovese's never disappoints us! read more

We have been attending Bike Week for 18 years and this was by far one of our Best Italian meals we have ever had. We had Lasagna, Shrimp Scampi on Spagetti noodles with a side of garlic bread. Joy was our server - made ordering much easier, food was served promptly. Highly recommend the great food and Joy was a fabulous server. We have found a must repeat restaurant-highly highly recommend. All restaurant personnel wearing masks and cleaning table with disinfectant cleaner. read more

Terrible customer service. My order was not even in and it said it was ready. Been standing outside for 40 minutes. Manager won't even apologize. Not even offer a glass of water or a place to sit. read more

Excellent service, food, cleanliness and prices. I had lasagna and my sister had eggplant parm. Both were great but the sauce is a little sweet. Salad great and their bread is phenomenal! Great place. read more

Genovese's was absolutely amazing!! We were seated in a timely manner, and a server met us very quickly. She was super sweet and had a warm feeling right off the bat, she brought our drinks right away. While we were waiting for our food we realized we were in the middle of a family emergency and at the height of it all our pizza arrived, the gentleman and our server helped us get a box and completely handle our situation and didn't skip one beat they were absolutely amazing. Couldn't ask for any more! Was the best service I have had in years and they are just good genuine people and deserve a lot of love!! read more

Every time we're here it's perfect! The pizza is great (NY style) and their bread is awesome! We usually take out but eating in is good too!

Went for lunch at the recommendation of a friend. The three of us all ordered the chicken parm. Truly superior in every way. Well prepared chicken -- lots of it -- perfectly done pasta, robust flavorful marinara with spot-on seasoning and salt. It came with soup or salad; I got minestrone almost as good as I had in Tuscany, and it was a bowl, not a cup. Even the bread and the iced tea are a cut above. Excellent service. And the prices are quite reasonable. Go! read more

Authentic Italian Food, we ordered pizza and it was delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant.****

Mouthwatering delicious. We ordered antipasto, large house pizza (i cant remember but it's got almost everything in it), and pasta with sausage. Fridt off, the antipasto came as a whole meal. I dont even like italian dressing but it tasted good. Pizza was superb, made my belly really happy. Pasta with sausage, well it wasnt special until you eat the sausage. Never tasted any sausage that good. Overall, would definitely order from them again. Set the food to be delivered at certain time, and delivery guy was there on the dot. Impressive. read more

Best Italian in Ormond Beach. Stromboli,calzone, lasagna and great pizza too. Friendly service and plenty of parking.

Best Italian place in Florida. Service can be slow, due to how many people are at the restaurant, or because it takes some time to bake or cook. I recommend kids' sized food off the menu, because adult menu items are larger than expected. Some things I recommend are the kids Fettuccine Alfredo, or maybe the kids Spaghetti and Meatballs. The kids spaghetti isn't with multiple small meatballs, it's one big meatball. I recommend to cut and mix it. But, if you want to order of the adult items, I recommend a meat Stromboli. If you don't want that, you could get a vegetarian strombo This is now on my go to list, because of how good the quality of the food it. read more

Fast delivery and excellent pizza! The crust is perfect! They have a great menu with a I have had many of the things on it, never disappointed. They have coupons online and when you order over the phone, just let them know if you're calling your order in. read more

Went to Genovese's one evening while in Ormond Beach for a girls' trip. John was our waiter and was very friendly and cordial, as well as being knowledgeable about the menu and food. We ordered an antipasto salad, and the Toscana pizza, with chicken, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes. Both were DELICIOUS!! The salad was huge and the ranch dressing tasted like it was made in house. The pizza crust was super light and crunchy. We had enough salad and pizza left over for another meal and the pizza heated up wonderfully in the oven. John also talked us into a piece of chocolate cheesecake to go (he didn't have to try hard!) It was phenomenal: creamy, not too heavy or too chocolatey, just perfect! Will definitely be back when in Ormond Beach again. read more

So, upon arrival, my wife had told me about this place and I love pizza. So I decided to get the meat Stromboli and I was not disappointed. This was a king of kings kinda Stromboli. The top was nice and crispy with thick layers of meat and cheese all throughout. Very clean location and super friendly staff. read more

Such amazing food! From the pizza to their lasagna and even their salads you can't go wrong!! Large filling portions ensure that you don't leave hungry. read more

Can't give less than one star. Worst pizza I've had. I ordered deep dish, order was supposed to be ready at 2:47, I waited in the restaurant for 20 minutes after the pick up time. The wait staff were having interaction issues. I asked if waiting an extra 20 minutes was normal and was told "yes we only have one person working the pizza oven". When I finally left with my order and drove back to my house less than 5 minutes away, the pizza was cold, the crust was uneven and not cooked in some areas and over cooked in others. Will never order here again. Waste of $28 I threw I the trash read more

Amazing Basic Italian food! We had Italian Wedding Soup, Meat Ball & Spaghetti with Marinara Sauce. Truly excellent Northern Italian food. The bread was out of this world. There isn't much ambience and the wait staff was few and busy, but extremely efficient and friendly. We'll definitely eat here again. We had the lunch special. read more

Pizza was delicious. The Sicilian Stromboli could feed a family. I will definitely order it again. Service was great at lunch.

We ordered takeout pizza one night while in Florida. It was delicious! The ingredients were fresh and the crust was perfect. Would definitely order from here again if in the area. read more

Sorry but being from NY this pizza was just ok! Better then most! Also tried their meatballs and I was very disappointed. The sauce was bland and the meatballs were rubbery! read more

This little gem of a place took my husband and I by surprise. Genovese's is in a little strip building when you walk in it decorated very nicely. Spacious seating and friendly wait staff. I ordered a lasagna which was high and filled the plate(enough to serve two) and my husband ordered a stromboli. The food was delicious. We will make this are go to Italian restaurant when in the area. read more

Genovese's is my favorite pizza in Ormond Beach. It's been quite awhile since I've been, and sometimes a closer spot and convenience wins out, but if I had my choice, it would be here. The veggie pizza is awesome, and always came with fresh garlic, that just made the entire pie. Nice sized Greek salad, filled with all the usual add-ons as well. Delivery used to take 45+, but it may be different now. Guess I'll have to order and find out! read more

The dinner salad here was useless. I wish I hadn't ordered it. The Lobster Ravioli was kinda good but the alfredo sauce was just plain it needed something more like tomatoes in it or something to tang it up a little, it was very rich. The rolls were good. I'd go back and try some other things, seems like a good place. read more

Great food and so much for cheap too and the lady with pink hair was just so delightful and funny loved her

What a pleasant little find. The Peach Valley Cafe next door in the strip mall was packed, with a half hour wait for lunch. So we decided to check out Genovese. Our lunches were simple, but affordable and tasty. My wife had the Italian sub on homemade bread, and loved it. The fresh bread had a great crust but soft inside. I just had the penne with marinara and meatball. It wasn't the best I've ever had, but it was done right. The pasta was al dente, the sauce didn't smother everything and the meatball was tasty. I should have ordered more than one meatball, but I didn't realize I was only getting one. The next day we had their pizza. And we were even more impressed. The crust was perfect, especially when cooked in the brick oven pizza. For very good pizza and Italian sandwiches in Ormond Beach, this is probably one of the best options. read more

Underrated place. Location is non-descript and unimpressive, the opposite of their pizza. We ordered two pizzas and both were perfect, for the next 9 days my family kept telling me they wanter pizza "like that place at daytona beach". It's not often that pizza is memorable but this one delivers. read more

Pizza was very good and they delivered right when they estimated. If you're in the area give em a try. I reserve 5 stars for "blow your mind kind of food/experience", that's why they only get 4. It's very good. read more

This is a great place ! If you want great service and great portions then you need to come here! The pizza is really yummy and I really like their fetta salad. Decent menu, and the service and atmosphere was fine. Entrees were $10-20. read more

We don't usually get Italian food, but were up for a change while here on vacation. Most Yelp reviews were good for this place so we figured it would at least be as decent as Olive Garden and maybe even better. WRONG! We entered to a nearly full room, taking that as a good sign. Then it all went downhill. We stood there expecting someone to come seat us... continued waiting as two different waitstaff glanced at us but said nothing... and waited some more until some customers came in behind us and informed us that we could seat ourselves. We chose a booth, but quickly realized that frigid air was blowing right down on us. After a trip to the bathroom to wash my hands, I could tell that the small dining section in the back was much warmer and asked to move there. My husband and I decided to order two entrees to share: lasagne and a penne dish with sundried tomatoes and artichoke hearts, both of which come with bread and soup or salad. The soup was edible but no more special than soup from a can. The bread was overly toasted but okay with butter. Then we began to notice the bugs -- fat fruit flies, I think. We spent the entire meal batting them away from our food. Finally, our entrees arrived in enormous portions, particularly the penne dish. Sadly, that dish was devoid of any appealing flavor. As for the lasagne, the excessive sauce was extremely sweet, which is my least favorite type of sauce, and the bits of meat were so small they lent absolutely no flavor and barely any texture. The only item we both thought was "good" was the second basket of bread, which was not as toasted as the first. After we had each eaten a token amount of the entrees and finished off the bread, we asked for to-go boxes thinking maybe we'd pass a hungry homeless person who might like to finish it. We didn't, so we ended up throwing the food away at our hotel. read more

We got to go pizza, salad and breadsticks. Pizzas were very well made. Thin crust. Nice toppings and HUGE! Breadsticks were not huge, but easily shared. Salad was very fresh! Super nice veggies and a nice helping of cheese. Crust was a little hard, but all-in-all it was a great late night meal. read more

I could eat here every single day! We didn't order the pizza, however all five of us ordered a pasta dish! The Baked Penne was the nightly special for only $10 and it included a house salad with locally made salad dressing, homemade bread which was delicious, and a huge portion of pasta! The meatballs were tennis ball size. read more

Genovese's is the best Italian in Ormond Beach. Everything we have tried has been wonderful. Love the spaghetti with garlic, olive oil and white wine with grilled chicken. The pizza is also outstanding. read more

Really great pizza and pasta! It is my favorite place to eat when I'm in town. I used to live in Florida and would make trips to genovese's just to get the pizza! Everyone is so friendly and it's also easy to get it to go! Highly recommend read more

I knew we had hit the jackpot when we noticed the owner chatting with groups at several tables. Anyplace the locals frequent must be good! It did not disappoint! I had the Manicotti with Marinara and my hubby had Fettuccine Alfredo with Shrimp. Both were delicious! Served with soup or salad and fresh bread, the prices were very reasonable. If we're ever back in the area, we'll definitely stop in again! read more

Pizza combination was gooid. The crust was a little soggy in the middle. The toppings were extensive. Really good for a local pie. read more

See all

Absolutely outstanding service and meal!!! This was our first meal during our vacation and it was amazing. The flavors were delicious. The portions are enormous too. Caitlin C. was very attentive and friendly! Definitely recommending to everyone I see!!! read more

Great pizza , usually get a sausage and spinach. Past and baked dishes are also good.

Man that was a Great Brick Oven Pizza!!!! Good Lord Winner Winner theres a Great Pizza Place in Daytona Beach Area That Pizza was Just Cooked Perfectly and a Nice Toasted Crust with Deep Flavors from the Brick Oven and High Heat and not saying its the Very Very Best but its in the Top 10 Of Pizza and I'm a New Yorker Great Sauce and a Good Chefs Salad with Fresh Hand Cut Mushrooms and over all great Stuff The Waitress was Nice Enough and A Clean Clean Restaurant and almost 5 Stars read more

This place has good reviews because they give large portions for an affordable price and the staff is very sweet. But the truth is the food isn't good. Pizza was very greasy and flavorless. Red pasta sauce no good. I got garlic and oil pasta... there was zero garlic flavor and tons of oil, I was up all night. Pink lemonade is terrible no flavor. The only thing that was good is their creamy Italian but their salads aren't very exciting. I wouldn't go back personally. read more
