Genova's Pizza & Pasta — Restaurant in City of Long Beach

I wish I took a picture of our meatball heros (or subs where I’m from!) as they were absolutely everything you want in a fresh, hot hero and something I haven’t been able to get outside of the northeast. My date theorized it’s the bread since that makes or breaks any hero/sub/Italian/grinder. Genova’s had a crispy exterior with soft and chewy interior, absolutely perfect for holding in all the meatball, saucy, cheesy goodness. I’d prefer a parm and mozzarella blend for these as parm elevates the flavor whereas straight mozzarella can be bland. A hero consisted of two gigantic meatballs and each half had the meatball cut into thirds so you enjoyed meatball, sauce and cheese with every bite.

I drooled over the slices but I didn’t want to be that gluttonous on a date so didn’t partake. If I lived in Long Beach I’d definitely return to try more of their menu. All the staff super chatty even though they were busy with...

Foods always been good every time we order - however the customer service is lacking pretty often. I order from home and walk over pretty often (once a week at least) and no matter how much time I wait, if I get there and one particular employee is at the counter, I know the night is shot.

The other employees often privately apologize for the stuff she’s doing (or not doing… since she’s not working….) - we enjoy the food and I would hate to give up on a place literally steps from our front door with food that’s great, but there’s definitely room for improvement when it...

If you're a pizza lover like me, you need to try Genovas. In my opinion, they have the best pizza around, hands down. Their grandma slice is a personal favorite of mine and always hits the spot. And if you're looking for something a bit healthier, their cauliflower pizza is a huge hit with my family - it's delicious!

What's more, their delivery is impressively quick - I never have to wait long. And to top it off, the staff at Genovas is incredibly friendly and welcoming. I always feel like a valued customer when I order from them.

Overall, I highly recommend Genovas to anyone looking for a delicious pizza experience. You won't be...
