Gencarelli's has been around for over 25 years so you know they must be doing something right over here and that fact remains totally obvious in every delicious bite of literary everything that comes outta this super legit old school Pizzeria Restaurant. And lately I gotta say that their one-of-a-kind thin crust style Pizza has gained all my attention and I'm not sure I'll ever be able to break its hold. It's pretty easy to see what makes this Pizza something special even from the first glance you take of it. Pies here appear to be larger than most other places around and I think that's because they use the same amount of dough but they just expand it in order to keep that thin crispy crust texture that they're locally known for. Toppings are also uniquely special here and certain combinations can't even be found anywhere else that I know of, which also adds to the "cravability factor" this spot maintains over my tastebuds. All ingredients are fresh and noticeably appealing with each and every tremendously tasty bite. Yup, I'm definitely hooked on this Cheesy, Saucy, yet firmly flexible thin crust style Pizza and I'll do my best to keep my composure as I wait patiently until my next visit. I should also mention the incredible menu full of Italian inspired food that they offer here too other than what I've already covered, but since exceptional Pizza is the first thing you see upon entering it's pretty easy to overlook everything else. Come And Get Your Munch On!!

Gencarelli’s is my absolute favorite restaurant so no surprise I had them cater my bridal shower! From start to finish they were incredible to work with and all of our guest RAVED about the food. Everyone keeps telling us how amazing the food was and is now having gencs cater their upcoming events. We had a wide variety of options to choose from to ensure all 65 guests had food they would love and had GF and DF options. I highly recommend coming here or any of their other locations for a great night out and to cater your next party.

Tried this place once ordered penne vodka. It was definitely top 5 worst cadka sauces I've ever had. Doesn't come with a dinner salad like most pizzerias I order from. 2 stars because the bread they served with the pasta was to die for.

GRANDMA PIZZA was delicious! Mini rice balls were pretty good too. I like when they served the hot fresh baked bread and butter for the first appetizer. That was my highlight. Service was slow at the beginning but it caught up. It's a decent place to go with your family.

I purchased several bakery items today and I was thoroughly disappointed. Both the cranberry and apple muffins were extremely dry. I had the strawberry shortcakes and there were no strawberries and too much cream. The cupcakes were ok.

Met friends & all enjoyed what ever was ordered. Service was good & not rushed. Not a large place & on a Sat late afternoon was empty. By 5:30/6:00 every table was taken. Highly recommend!

I'm a truck driver and I've been going here for about 2 years. I called today and ordered 2 slices for pickup because of the rain. I got a couple of toppings and I asked the girl on the phone her opinion about getting extra cheese. She seemed bothered by that question and when I finished she just hung up, very rude. When I went inside to get my food, it seemed like everyone was starting at me?? Maybe it's just me but I will never go here again knowing that they have rude people on the phone taking orders. She put red peppers I stead of green peppers, no mushrooms but I got charged for mushrooms. Never again will I go here. Bad service skills.
