Geno's Pizza, Wings & Fingers — Restaurant in Scottsboro

I'm a pizza snob. A gourmet. A conniesseuir. I know pizza inside & out after years in the pizza biz with several different companies. I say this so maybe you'll pay attention to what I'm about to say. I decided to try Geno's on a whim. I was very pleasantly surprised. I ordered the pizza I usually order when checking out a new place, onion, mushroom, and tomato. Usually what I get isn't very good; way too many onions because they're cheap, hardly any mushrooms because they're not cheap, and tiny little bits of tomatoes that are hardly recognizable. . Not this time. The amounts of the toppings blew my mind. I got more than my money's worth, and the toppings complimented each other perfectly instead of one of them taking over the whole flavor profile. The sauce was a bit thin, but that was fine, because it packed a zesty punch. The flavor was fantastic, a flavor rarely found in most pizzas. The crust was crispy and crunchy, but not dry and brittle and flavorless like a cracker. It was quite good. Overall, this was one of the best pizzas I've had in a very long time. . The atmosphere of the place was a bit unexpected, a kind of a sports-bar sort of place with lots of big TVs on the walls showing us ballgames. It was pretty cool. . The service was amazing. I had two waitresses who each did a topnotch job. Kasia and Olivia are those rare sort of servers we don't see so much lately, ones who are not just helpful, but very friendly and make a customer want to come back again and again, which is exactly what I'm going to do. . Geno's. If you live in Scottsboro, you've probably already tried it and probably loved it. If you're just passing through, though, then this is the stop you...

I had heard that this was the place for wings and pizza, so being from out of town I went.....and I regret it. First the good. The place was really clean, but this could be from the lack of customers on a Friday night. Our server, Hannah was super friendly and took good care of us. And the stuffed bread sticks we're crazy good. Now the bad. We ordered lemon pepper wings, 12 of them and what the menu said was a Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza. First the wings were tiny and very very dry. The lemon pepper seasoning was good. Now the "Bacon Cheese Burger Pizza" this was in my opinion the cheapest tasting pizza I have ever had. It doesn't even come with Bacon, it has Bacon bits....now it did say in the description that it had BACON BITS, but who reads the description of a Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza, you would think it was Bacon, meat and cheese. Oh and to top that off, they charge .50 cents for waters. And tea is $2.50. There may be better things on the menu but I will not be finding out. I will not come back here to try them. This is my...

The bizza is real nice up in this place I say, "but I'm not sure the food is. We had the steak, and I would rather order the shrimp cocktail than the pizza itself. The pizza itself does not do it justice.

It's still possible that the restaurant has an element of deception about it. I had two bites, and both my bites came with cheese. I asked an owner if she makes the cheese herself; he said no, it comes ready made for the restaurant. I also asked him if there is a separate cheese that comes in a box for $2 as well, but she said this was not true.

For all I know, he could be lying; there is some reason a pizzeria might seem fake to someone with a better sense of eye for artistry.
