I wish I took a picture of our meatball heros (or subs where I’m from!) as they were absolutely everything you want in a fresh, hot hero and something I haven’t been able to get outside of the northeast. My date theorized it’s the bread since thatmakes or breaks any hero/sub/Italian/grinder. Genova’s had a crispy exterior with soft and chewy interior, absolutely perfect for holding in all the meatball, saucy, cheesy goodness. I’d prefer a parm and mozzarella blend for these as parm elevates the flavor whereas straight mozzarella can be bland. A hero consisted of two gigantic meatballs and each half had the meatball cut into thirds so you enjoyed meatball, sauce and cheese with every bite.I drooled over the slices but I didn’t want to be that gluttonous on a date so didn’t partake. If I lived in Long Beach I’d definitely return to try more of their menu. All the staff super chatty even though they were busy with to-go orders.
Sausage and Onion pie. DeliciousVitos and Bruce's seasoned oven
Amazing vodka grandma slice! Staff and owner are great as well!
Had their Pizza a few times. Talking strictly the basics, a slice or slices. They'll make you fall in love with pizza all over again. Ample sauce is zesty and doesn't taste like straight from Sysco Food Service cans. Generous cheese is quality and not oily. The crust has a certain chewy, flavorful quality to it.It's a clean, bright, attractive, small spot that you can actually park close by easily. And, the ownership seems genuinely eager to please.
Excellent food and service. I made a late night order and not only was the food delicious, hot and worth every cent but the owner dropped the food off himself after he closed the shop. Thank you.
Since opening in October, Genovas has become a neighborhood staple thanks to great pizza, great meals, and great service. In a crowded field of pizzerias in Long Beach, Genovas takes the crown. They’ve become my go to for when I’m hungry or bored and just wanna go say hi to the friendly staff behind the counter. You can’t go wrong with any of the awesome slices, rolls, wraps, or pasta dishes here.
Just had the pizza for the first time. West end has always been my go to since I live down west but man they make a solid slice. Very nice people too
Exquisite food. They're owner and staff are very nice and very good at their job. We come here about every week bc it's so good... especially the Sicilian pizza, garlic knots, and chocolate cake is good- they have insanely fast delivery and I definitely recommend it And! AND you can't forget the chicken parm.? easily .you favorite pizza place
We ordered the family style dinner for 5, it was outstanding! Salad was colorful, chicken Francese prepared perfectly! Had a side order of Primavera, the veggies were fresh & delicious. Everything was ready upon pickup time. Very good! Recommend giving this place a try! ????
Genovas pizzas are delicious! My family and I love their Margarita pizza with pepperoni. Genovas pizzas are the best pizzas we’ve had in New York. We eat there several times a week, because the food and price is great.The staff at Genovas are very nice, always welcoming and smiling. Great location pizzeria.
