This is one of the last authentic pizza spots I’ve found in the North Aurora/Sugar Grove immediate vicinity. It’s got lunch specials on a big sign in the front window. It’s got the wood frame screen door that slams. Buffalo chicken sandwich with fresh mozzarella Italian Beef with hot G If your from “back-east” you’ll know. It’s small, it personal, it’s delicious. It’s the ambiance of great food. None of that chain, franchise, big corporate bs.
Amazing delicious pizza! Great service! They even helped bring out the pizzas to my car! I ordered the monster pizzas 28in for my son’s birthday! Referred by a friend and they were a hit!
Ordered delibery. Food came promptly with friendly service. Food was amazing. The Genoa Special pizza is delicious and the Greek salad had an ample amount of olives.
I had Gyros Sandwich and it came out great. I also tried their Philly Steak Sandwich which was wonderful. There is only one table for dine-in customers. What's more, there is no restroom.
I love the food and service at Genoa’s in Sugar Grove. But I can’t eat most of their foods anymore (I developed diabetes). I can still eat their salads, but all Genoa’s salads come with a bunch of ingredients I cannot or will not eat! It would be an absolute dream come true if Genoa’s would create a build-your-own salad item on their menu. It would help my wallet to not pay full price for a salad with half the ingredients, and it may increase sales for your salads, since you can charge a little more for separate ingredients then you could for a fixed-price salad.
Great pizza and everything on the menu is top notch.
