Generoso Pizza

Really great pizza and we’ve also tried the fried zucchini and cauliflower. Both are great! Quick delivery and great food!

On my quest to try every pizza place on earth, I decided to try this place after driving by one million times.
Ordered a pizza to pick up. Half pepperoni, half sausage. I get this combo quite often when trying out a new place because I like to find out about the quality of their sausage + pepperoni.
Went in to pick up the pizza and had a short chat with the owner. Very friendly guy.
Onto the pizza… it was alright. Not special in my book. The sauce was a little on the sweet side. Not crazy sweet but I still picked up on it. I prefer a more acidic sauce as my choice but I’m open to try them all. Crust, Cheese + toppings were alright, a little heavy on the cheese.
A big factor in having a great pizza is balance in the ingredients. A little hard to explain but when it’s there, you know it. Neapolitan style is my favorite, but I like all types of pizza.
This pizza was only OK to me but I’m sure others will like it more who prefer a sweeter type sauce.
My quest continues for the perfect ‘Za and I have a few new leads.
Bottom line is this: Always support your independent pizzeria owner. Always!

We’ve only ordered pizza here — they are priced great, the pizza is delish, and delivery is always on time.

Pizza is great but they don’t deliver to my house even though it’s nearby less than a mile.

Solid pizza joint– Great prices for great pizza… some other local pizza points are so overpriced it’s sickening. I walked away with a medium 3 topping pizza and a small salad for 20 bucks– great deal!

Ordered for the first time yesterday. Ordered a thin crust with onion and sausage. I thought the pizza was pretty good. The Italian sausage had a good balance of fennel and other spices. The delivery was also fairly quick. I will probably order from here again and also try some different menu item. I thought the prices were also fair.

Be cautious of ordering online, their system doesn’t appropriately send the orders to the right store so 40 minutes after I placed my order, they called to tell me they cancelled it because it went to the wrong location.

My Favorite place to order a delivery.
Best pizza in the town.
Not a big fan of their Italian beef but you never go wrong with their pizza.
The delivery guy is super friendly and he always calls 1 minute perior to arrival so you could be ready to pay and start eating that heavenly pizza.

This is my favorite pizza place to go to! The owner Rich is a class act that really cares about the quality of his food and providing great customer service. I have tried almost every combination they offer and have yet to find one that wasn’t great. Worth going out of your way to drive to.

This place was part of my great pizza hunt while this pizza was good they were not the winner.

The pizza here was pretty good. I felt like it’s more of a pick up and go spot because the seating was a little limited. Although, they do have some seats outside which is perfect for a summer day or night. Good pizza at a good price.

Really like the thin crust. I’m out in this area for a day and got the craving for pizza! I ordered the thin crust cheese with onion. It’s so good that I want some more right now. Def. Coming back for sure.
One negative feedback is when the pizza was done I saw it sitting here and the got in the front checked me out disappeared and I was starting to get all antsy cause I was in a rush and need to get my pizza and like as soon as possible. Like I said I’m there for a day and got many errands to run. Other Jen that pizza is good. Service is fine but don’t disappear like that for more then 5mins

My boyfriend is an avid Lou’s pizza fan, and I am not generally a fan of most pizza places. I am very picky about my sauce and cheese.
One evening I ordered from Generoso Pizza because he was going to be home late, and I had a pizza craving. I was not disappointed. The staff was very friendly, and the pizza came pretty quickly. It was very tasty (I got the double dough). When my boyfriend came home later, he was also very complimentary! We have ordered it every time we have craved pizza since our first order! It even tastes yummy cold the next day.
My recommendation: if you like garlic, definitely order it on the pizza!

I am clearly in the minority here, but my family and I did not enjoy their pizza at all.
Both the Chicago style deep dish and the thin crust we ordered were absolutely drowning in sauce. So much so that 60% of both pizzas ended up in the trash.
Can’t comment on the crust or cheese or anything as all that could be tasted was sauce. Sauce, sauce, and more sauce. And not a particularly good-​tasting sauce, at that.
I started the experience by wondering what took me so long to try them, being how they are located in the same plaza as Dino’s (my favorite burger). Now I’m left wishing I never bothered.
Don’t think I’ll try them again. I don’t see the point, as I prefer a little more pizza with my sauce.

We decided to order from Generoso one night when the pizza place we normally ordered from was closed. The pizza was absolutely delicious and the price was more than fair (and less than we had been paying). We’ve switched and they are now our regular pizza place!
Besides phenomenal pizza (we prefer the double dough), they also have really good onion rings at a great price.

Generoso Pizza is a small Pizzeria located in a little strip mall off of Army Trail Road in Glendale Heights. I happened to be nearby and had time to waste and decided to stop in and look over the menu. There’s a few tables set up for dining in, along with a TV and a big order counter. After stopping in I looked over the options and noticed a two hot dog special. I decided to give it a try and within about 5 minutes my food was ready.
The two hot dog special here consists of two Chicago style hot dogs and fries. The hot dog here came on a classic Chicago style poppy seed bun. The bun was soft with no signs of dryness. There were two fairly thick pickle spear/​pickle slices on the dog. Neither were quite as long as the sausage itself, but fortunately neither were too sour either. The actual hot dogs used here were skinless dogs, they were well heated and tasty. There were some thinly sliced tomato slices on the dog, some short sport peppers. And a good application of onion, mustard and relish. The only thing really missing from this hot dog was celery salt. Everything went together fairly well outside of the thick pickle slices.
The fries included here were fairly thick fries, they weren’t too salty but were a bit bland as far as the potato paste goes. They were certainly plentiful with the hot dog special. These fries neither blew me away, nor was I sick of them after a few. So I’d say they’re slightly above average but not great.
While I’ve not actually tried the Pizza here, the hot dog special was good, and I’d recommend it. I’m going to give Generoso pizza a four star rating. Good food at a fair price.

We moved to Addison about 3 years ago from the city and I have been trying to find a good pizza place ever since. I saw this place over by the Mcdonalds in GlendaleHeights/​Bloomingdale on Army Trail Rd. I like my Pizza crunchy and well done. We got BBQ wings and a 16 in thin crust pie well done. WOW! Authentic, good quality Cheese, good sausage and good sliced beef. The sauce is perfect. My wife and I agreed it was hands down the best we have had and it even competed with some of our favorite city spots. I had to come on and give it 5 stars. This place rocks I hope they don’t ever close down.

I don’t give 5 stars lightly so this means the food was amazing! We literally just finished eating and I HAD to jump on here and sing the praises of this place.
I was beginning to think that Glendale Heights area just didn’t have a good pizza place.
The toppings were generous, even though we ordered the thin crust it wasn’t very thin and the sauce was yummy.
Next time I think we might order extra thin, if possible, and extra sauce.
The price was great too! $ 22 for a large pizza and free breadsticks! Sign me up!

Who has two thumbs and likes deep fried pizza? This guy!!!
So my brother and I were in the mood for a slice the other day and I usually hit this place up for their panzarotti (deep fried calzone) but wasn’t quite that hungry — so we just got the jumbo slices instead. On a side note if you like calzones try the panzarotti — it is further proof that if you can deep fry something it will make it better! So that being said the slice of pepperoni was good and somewhere in between a thin and a double dough. Its was covered in pepperoni so I couldn’t complain and they had a side station to load up on chili flakes and the usual green can parm cheese.
Overall for around $ 4 the lunch special for the slice and a pop is a good deal and definitely enough to fill you up without making you feel like you need a nap. In all honesty I still go here basically for the panzarottis. If you have never tried one before give it a chance and you wont forget it.

This is the best huge slice around. I would actually come here to buy the whole pie. It was 3.75 for a big slice and a large soda. That includes the frickin tax. Nobody does that. You usually get a little cup and a razor thin cut of pie. The sausage was really tasty. It was on the thicker side and had a lot of sauce. The pepperoni that I saw in the case was very generous with the meat. The service was quick and friendly. The mall it’s in is a bit run down and you could miss this place flying down Army Trail. But it is worth a stop, if for price the alone.
