    OG cheese steak
    Mike G.

    I was doing some work in Tempe around lunchtime and was very hungry so I stopped into OG's. I ordered the OG cheesesteak. It was average and pretty small size for $15 and frankly, less than average in quality. Soft roll out of a plastic bag and not sure of the quality of the meat. It wasn't horrible, but I would not order one and would definitely try somewhere else for sandwiches if that is the bread they use. I haven't tried the pizza so can't rate it on that. One and done for me.

    I travel around the world to eat and enjoy. This place is one hat I would recommend to anyone. A lot of great options, great customer service, and a clean and chill environment. I love the pizza, wings, and cheesesteaks. Also great that they're open late for those late night cravings. #FoodJones

    Steak Cheese & Mushroom Baked Sub
    Nicole R.

    I went to six byrd cider next door and didn't realize they didn't have food. They said Geno's next door will walk the food over if you order so I did that! I got the steak, cheese, and mushroom sub for $15. They brought it over in a timely manner and I completely devoured it. I don't know what the restaurant is like inside but I was happy with my food.

    Foot long slice
    Sydney P.

    We stopped by for lunch and ordered off of the lunch specials menu, super good deal!! I got 1/2 a turkey sub, chips, and a drink for less than $10 and then my boyfriend got the foot long slice. Only comment I have is that the pizza is on the thinner side, but as long as you have a fork a knife there is no problem. Both were super good and we will definitely be coming back. It seemed like the store was being run by 2 people, yet they got everything done fast and kept the restaurant clean. I especially enjoyed the "chewable ice" at the soda station!

    Half Sub & 1/2 fries
    Autumn C.

    The food I ordered was good but here is the issue. The place is dirty, it has a restroom but the women's has been closed the men's has no lock on the door and no soap to wash your hands. I am an older female and this is just unacceptable. Don't you have to have working restrooms in an establishment? This place used to have potential and sadly has let itself go.

    Genos was disappointing, cheap prices lured me in and the food quality matched. $3.99 for a slice with water sauce and $15 for a chicken nugget sandwich. also note the employee urged me to buy two sandwiches as it was only 5$ more. 2 for $20 on the subs for a reason, they are a glorified struggle meal.

    Literally the best pizza we've ever had! We got a pepperoni pizza with garlic butter crust... and the $$$

    Chicken Bacon Ranch Fries
    Stacey S.

    Visiting from Illinois and tried Original Geno's Pizza -- and wow, they crushed it! We got The Workz pizza and the chicken bacon ranch fries... both were out of this world. Pizza was loaded up and full of flavor, and those fries were crispy, cheesy, and straight-up addictive. 10/10, so glad we stopped here. Definitely a new favorite!

    Pepperoni pizza
    Connor A.

    The pizza was very similar to Chuck E. Cheese. The pepperoni is cooked to perfection. Where it lacks is the lack of sauce if it has more sauce and was still able to maintain that crust this would be higher. Service was very nice called my order in on the phone came in and it was hot and ready.

The pizzas were always good, so we figured why not go eat there and try some other items. There were 12 of us, so we made sure to make a reservation ahead of time. Upon arriving, we had no issues. A couple of tables were ready and waiting for us. First impressions: The restaurant is big. There's a ton of space and seating. The vibes are nice. This location also has a big parking lot, so parking was not an issue at all. Once we were all seated, our waitress offered us drinks and gave us time to look through the menu. I must say, there's some pretty affordable happy hour items on there. However, I was really hungry and opted for a regular menu Toasted Da Vinci sandwich with a side of chips. No drink. The sandwich was delicious. I really liked it. The bread was toasted to perfection and it was quite flavorful. The chips were also excellent. They were perfectly crisp and seasoned. Probably some of the best I've had. The meal was a good portion and very filling (and I'm a big guy!). Overall, I had a good experience. I'd come here again for that sandwich.

The bartending really has taken a step backwards though. Instead of only one cheap Rye, now they have none. How do you make a Manhattan? Sazerac? I ordered an Old Fashioned and it came shaken with macerated luxardo and then strained. The pic below is a correctly made Manhattan from a couple years ago. The bartender gave us some great service and knows her stuff but the bar program doesn't get the attention it deserves. My wife says that it's a family pizzaria not a gastropub and to chill out. She is usually right.

The Vodka pizza had no detectable sauce on it either. It also tasted just like cheese bread. I don't know if its because of different pizza makers or the new standard, but I was disappointed. I was very impressed last visit and even made a statement that the Vodka slice may be my new favorite. I was a little let down this time around!

You can also get a whole pie of your choice. They grate fresh parm on all the slices which I thought was a nice touch. The girl at the register seemed very knowledgeable about all the pizzas and gave us lots of details and recommendations which we appreciated. First we got the green, di Parma, and the Phoenix. The green has pistachios and fresh arugula on it, I thought the overall flavor was too sweet and the pistachios weren't crush enough. The Phoenix was good, very honey forward and overall the flavor didn't stick out to me. The di Parma was a cheese pizza with procuttio and ricotta, overall a little plain to me. I think they all would've tasted better hot, but I understand that's not super realistic for a slice shop. For our second order we got the vodka sauce slice, which was for sure my favorite. First of all it was piping hot, and that elevated the whole experience. I thought the sauce was so flavorful and savory, and the basil made a perfect bite. I would go back for a whole pie of this! I really liked the prices here, we got dinner for less than $25 for 2. I wouldn't mind coming back to try some other slices and get a pie of the vodka!

I got there 10 minutes before closing, pulled up as they were putting our pizza in the box, opened the box & of course had zero complaints! The Uncle Louie was a new choice for us, the pie was nice & thin the way that we like it... not all that heavy dough that makes you feel bloated after you eat one slice! The quality of products that Crust uses really makes a difference, this pizza is 20" & they put the big deli sliced pepperoni on the pizza plus they put sliced sausage not ground! Personally I'm a basil lover therefore I'd request extra basil next time, other than that the pizza was delish as we expected! So there you have it, now we know that whether we're north Phoenix or south it's confirmed that both Crust locations are consistent with each other which is nice to know!

I stopped in at this location because I was seeing a movie right after. I ordered the Spicy Knots and Happy Hour Buffalo Wings (extra crispy), and both were absolute winners. The Spicy Knots were perfectly baked--soft on the inside with a deliciously crisp bite on the outside--and packed just the right amount of heat. Paired with their dipping sauce, they were impossible to resist! The Buffalo Wings were equally impressive. Extra crispy, just as I had asked, with that classic tangy, spicy kick that makes buffalo wings so addictive. They nailed the texture and flavor, making them one of the best wing options around. Our server, Giana, was outstanding. Friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was just right throughout our meal. The relaxed atmosphere, combined with great food and service, made for an awesome experience.
