Genna Pizza

Genna Pizza is the real deal!

Really happy we found this place, I was specifically looking for a good grandma slice. I’m used to having it on a more thin bread style this version is more like Sicilian bread thick but still very tasty. Besides the grandma slice the hubby and I had a Chicago style pizza slice and man was it delicious. I recommend ordering only the Chicago slice if anything it was so filling & it was a challenge finishing both. We’ll definitely be back I’m curious how the white pizza taste.

Amazing pizza! Stopped here on vacation and some the best pizza I’ve ever had. We got the 24 inch pizza and it fed 4 adults and one child and we even had pizza left over. We ordered garlic knots and they were okay. It was more line garlic bread but it was still pretty good. I’d highly recommend this place.

The best! Love it would love more coupons! There Chicago pie is awesome but give them to 1 hour an call ahead to see if the have the dough!

I really wanted pizza & decided on this place after seeing pics of their pizza on Unilocal.Very small, hole in the wall place with limited seating. Pretty packed, but there was 3 tables open. They were super busy with to go orders as well. Ordered pizza & garlic knots. There was a small mishap with the knots, but a gentleman behind the counter (possibly the owner) made it right. The servers were friendly, & those knots were worth the wait. Crunchy but not too crunchy on the outside, soft & moist on the inside. The pizza crust was phenomenal. This will be my go to place from now on when I come down here. Yum!

This bargain price pizza tastes exactly that way. If you find pizza prices at the big three two high than I can see why this place may be appealing since the price is so low. You want to know what else is low? The quality of the pizza they make here. It is the worst by far I have had from a local pizza place in the area. I tried it out of curiousity and it was a joke. Ive had frozen pizza that tasted better.

Best pizza in the area. Coming from NY its very difficult to find a properly made sicilian pizza in our area. Genna’s does it! You need to ask for the sicillian with extra sauce and well done, and then it’s perfect!

Let’s start by saying I’m a New Yorker! the food at this place absolutely sucks. not even close to what you get in New York. bland, flavorless sauce. spongy dough! I can’t ever remember cornmeal crust on a New York pie. Do yourself a favor, skip this place go to Bizarros

Best pizza in brevard!!! I’m from northeastern PA, Italian, and spent plenty of time in NYC. It’s the closest to a «slice in the city» than any other place in this area. Good stuff!

I was heading back to Orlando with my girlfriend and her daughter from Pompano Beach & we were all craving some good NY style pizza. I looked on Unilocal & decided to give this place a try & we were absolutely NOT disappointed. We decided on a lg 18″ extra cheese pizza and an order of garlic knots. I was excited to see that the small dining area was almost full as it was 1PM on a Friday afternoon so I felt that if that many people were there (even tho it’s a small place) they must be doing something well.
Little did I know, the garlic knots are made FRESH to order… not pre-​made & warmed upon request. We ordered the garlic knots as an appetizer and when they were brought out about 15 minutes after placing our order, we were very pleased. The basket was full of fresh, HOT, crusty garlic knots with a perfect amount of cheese, herbs, & extra virgin olive oil and served with a side of red sauce. The knots had a nice crunchy crust and were perfectly cooked with a pillowy soft, yeasty interior.
As for the pizza… it was very good. The cheese and sauce were good and the pizza didn’t have a massive wasteland of crust on the end and a bite of the crust confirmed to me that this place takes pride in making quality, fresh pizzas. During our visit, one of the waitresses said the owner imports the water to make his dough which I thought was a little excessive but it also shows he takes pride in what he does.
As we were just about finished and very full, the waitress came over and said the owner likes to experiment with different things and dropped off three freshly made macaroons. We LOVED them and I am not a big fan of coconut at all. On our way out, I met the owner (I forgot his name… sorry) and I learned that he bought the place from the previous owner and he has been struggling to overcome the poor perception that people had about this place before he took over. I figured the very least I could do is let other people in the Melbourne area know and all the people visiting or traveling through the area what a gem this place is. This little place deserves to be on Diner, Drive Ins, and Dives! To me, it was THAT good!

I have been living in this area (Palm Shores) for 6 years and in that time Genna’s pizza has been the best pizza I could possibly find. When we have people over and we order from there guests always ask where we ordered from. It’s the perfect balance of grease and ingredients, the dough is perfectly baked and rarely ever tough. If a mistake is made (which is not often) we aren’t afraid to call and they always make it right. Delivery times are given realistically and are not late. I love their pizza and their calzones. I always recommend this place to people in the area.

I’m a bit of a pizza nut and hard to please, but Genna is great. Best pizza in Brevard imo. The fresh homemade bread for sandwiches and garlic bread is great. If you stop in for lunch, one slice will do it. They are HUGE. Not too greasy. Great sauce & crust. Great texture and overall taste.
My only complaint would be that they run out of their homemade bread quite often and substitute with bread from the grocery store. It’s a huge disappointment when this happens. I feel like they should warn you when you make your order.
Online ordering is very detailed and easy to use.
New owner is very nice and you can tell he has a passion for what he does. There is sometimes a long wait, but he is quick to hand out a free slice or drink while you wait. Great place.

I placed an order the eggplant parmesan dinner for delivery through the online app, and it was quick and easy. I included a special request to forfeit the pasta and bread, and to substitute with veggies if that option was available. Within two minutes, I received a phone call from a friendly and very accommodating young lady to discuss which vegetables I would like and how I would like them prepared. I never would have expected that. When the meal arrived, I was pleasantly surprised at the size of the portion, including the salad that came with it. The price was very reasonable, and the food was so delicious, I continued to eat even after I was full.

What a hidden treasure. This is some amazing pizza. We had 5 people and we shared a Chicken Roll, a Chick Parm sub, a Philly Cheesteak a Meatball Parm Sub and a salad. EVERYTHING was fresh. Perfect cheese, nice sauce, good meat but the crust and the bread was INCREDIBLE.
Thanks again Unilocal for helping the weary traveller enjoy another great meal!

This place is amazing. The pizza is always perfect and is better than any of the other places in Melbourne. The people at Gennas are so friendly and welcoming that I come back here every week.

This place has a real home feel for me. The pizza is excellent! Texture is one of the best I’e had and You can taste the freshness of the ingredients.

You have to try the cannolis!!! It’s heaven dessert!
Best pizza in Melbourne!

This is an update to the one-​star review I wrote in 2012.
I tried this place nearly two years ago when I first moved to Melbourne. To say that I was unimpressed would be an understatement. At the urging of a friend if mine, I tried Genna again in 2014. I learned that it had been purchased by a new owner, a real New Yorker, who had a true passion for making great food. This passion shows through now in Genna’s pizza. What was once underwhelming is now overwhelming with great flavor.
This has become my favorite pizza place in Brevard. The product is better than Bizarro (long hailed as the best in town) and the service is definitely better than Bizarro (lucky for Bizarro, their product is good. There service leaves a lot to be desired!)
In summary, I love this place now.

If you’ve been here before, when the other owner ran this place, you should come back. I reluctantly did and was pleasantly suprised.
The new owner is a very friendly guy. They have specials daily.
I picked-​up two pizzas to go and they were very good. Not the best pizza I ever had, but very good. It was cheaper than Dominos too.
So, don’t let the previous owner influence you, give this place another try and decide for yourself. I think you’ll be pleased. I was.
