I've got to give this one five stars. Â I cannot count the number of times this placed has saved me from starving while working my job on the south side. Â Pizza is delicious, service is good, fast delivery, they usually bring a free bottle of pop for me too! Â So I get a large 2 topping delivered, w/ pop for ~ $15. Â Highly recommended!!
Review Source:The Pizza of my childhood still kicks ass and takes no prisoners and while time may decay us all the pizza remains delicious!!!
People I am letting you know right now order a Jumbo Sausage, Mushroom, Pepperoni pizza with some french fries and you will thank me later.
Best Pizza in the block obviously  and delicious too.
ps. The sausage in the pizza (no homo) is Fantastic!!! best ever!!!!!!!
On a much earlier visit I made the mistake of bringing my prejudices with me. First off, I can eat a TON of pizza. If it's great, I can eat a few tons. They have to wheel barrow me out of the best pizza joints, and happily so. Problem was, I was thinking in terms of New Orleans, California, East Coast, etc. and these were geographically and volumetric-ally off by major margins.
Order staff looked at me and my diminutive female guest and advised a small. I brushed her off like the rhino to the fly and ordered the large (congratulating myself for the moderation I showed by not ordering the extra large). A large came and I plowed gustily into my first slice, pausing 2/3 through as I realized it was only slice #1 and I was already suffering jaw fatigue. This tore a serious chunk out of my appetite all by itself. Meanwhile, the pizza was great - tasty, piquant, rich, thick, joyous, incredibly filling and so on.
I approached slice number two with more caution, but not enough. The last half of slice #2 had more pain than joy and I had to stop eating like it was pizza. Further ingestion was clearly going to be a matter of pacing and pride rather than the ravenous devastation I was used to when the flavor and mood struck.
By the time the third slice became a possibility I was sweating like a Saudi Prince and asking myself whether I had (gasp!) made a horrible error in judgment.
I had.
My twiggy guest had eaten almost half of one slice and I managed only a few bites into #3 before giving up and leaving a good 4 pieces untouched.
I'm not sure whether the server's grin was an "I told you so" or a "Good, now we can feed homeless people all over the Midwest for another week" but whatever it was, she was right.
Moral of the story: Order with caution
Awesomest pizza near MDW. Next time I'm working nearby, I'm getting more. I went to Giordano's on the same trip, and it wasn't nearly as good.
I had a deep dish with spinach, tomatoes and chicken. Now deep dish isn't my first choice, but I was with someone from California who had never had Chicago pizza, so there really was no choice. Still, it was pretty awesome. Next time I'll order with extra sauce.
For me what makes Chicago pizza so much better than what I get in most other cities is the crust. That nice crunch it has right out of the oven someone how can't reproduced in my hometown Detroit. Unfortunately there is no seating at Geneo's so this means eating in the car, an unwieldy but tasty proposition with a deep dish pizza.
My family and I have been ordering Geneo's since we moved into the neighborhood 16+ years ago. All of our other relatives also order from here. The pizza is great and very innexpensive - I am actually always surprised at how inexpensive it is. We always ask for extra sauce because it appears most pizza joints have been going skimpy with sauce lately. You just can't go wrong with this pizza - great cheese, sauce, and ingredients. OK crust though. I haven't had anything else on the menu other than fries, onion rings, and fried zucchini.
Review Source:ive been ordering pizza from here ever since we moved into the neighborhood(when you were able to walk the dogs from california to  western at night), then follow it up with renting from royal concept video on 59th n whipple. you can say something like 20+ years. ok the thin crust pizza is some of the best thin crust in chicago, i usually order the sausage with extra sause( the bacon and mushroom topping are also very good). the also sell some of the best texas torpedo's(stuffed jalepenos) breaded zucchini, mushrooms, mozzarella sticks, and the ribs are to die for. i still order from here almost every weekend since i still live in the neighborhood, but if i didnt i would make the trip(the thin crust pizza is that good). all good things aside i really dont care for the stuffed or deep dish pizza here, but again the thin crust is great. so if your ever in the neighborhood, or make the trip, but you wont be able to sit in the place since its only pick up or delivery, so dont come here thinking your going to sit down and eat it in here. that being said call first (773) 925-1631(pizza should be ready in 30 minutes) and dont forget to get the connoli's !!!!
Review Source:I read Jenn M.'s review and took it to heart. I have to say,Jenn lied to us. Geneo's is even better than she describes.
A longtime staple for our softball team, somehow Geneo's drifted from us as the neighborhood changed and we moved to different parts of the city. I always assumed that is was sold, like most older places were, and then bastardized by the new owners. When I ordered this past week, I was pleasantly delighted.This is the pizza that Chicago was filled with in the 70's and the 80's. Incredible. Great toppings (plenty of choices), excellent crust, and sauce.....yum.
If it is possible, it is even better than I remembered. Pizza that is made EXACTLY as you order, decent prices, and great delivery.While it may not be an epiphany, this is certainly a reliable,go-to pizza joint. In my top 3 neighborhood places for sure.
I'll start off by saying that I'm a little biased since this place is run by my family. Â It hasn't been at this location for 40 years but the place has been around for almost that long in different locations. Â They used to be over on Lawndale, I think. Â I can't remember, since I was a kid.
Anyhow, I absolutely believe they have some of the best pizza out there. Â I've yet to find one that tastes as good as they make it. Â They also have TONS of other things from sandwiches to pasta to fish and chicken. Â If you need it, they've got it and it's all pretty darn tasty.
Geneo's was originally owned by my grandparents, Bob and Charlotte. Â Then my dad, Bob, Â took over several years ago (he's worked there the entire history of the place). Â My dad died this last July and the place has been taken over by my grandparents again. Â
If you're there, say hi to my grandmother. Â Everyone calls her Char or Chi (shy). Â She's a pistol but a lot of fun! Â And ask for some garlic bread with cheese "Jennifer style". Â She'll load it up with garlic butter and it's the BEST!
Geneo's has been here for over 40 years, maybe more. The have the best thin-crust on the south side. The special has everything on it, including bacon and ham. The sauce could be a little more flavorful, but for the value, with all the topping and cheese, it's the best thin crust in Chicago. Take out only.
