    This place is where the old Pit Stop used to be. They have completely re-done the inside and outside - including parking and traffic flow. It is the same owner as Lily's Bistro. We got a large cheese pizza and a large Margherita pizza. The first thing I noticed was how light (in weight) the pizzas were. Given the prices, this kind of surprised me. The cheese pizza was excellent. Great crust and cooked perfectly. The Margherita was average at best. Very little basil and not a lot of flavor. Staff I encountered were incredibly friendly. I am curious to see how this place evolves.

    Absolutely the best pizza spot in Lake Wylie and Clover area. The pizza and menu is great, but don't forget about the pasta!! They have take home and frozen options which are very convenient for parties/family etc. you get greeted immediately and taken care of extremely fast. It's a classic pizza spot with big city taste

    The crust is amazing!  Great chew.

    We have live in York County for 3 years and haven't been able to find pizza with good crust. We've tried them all. Big Papa's owner is from Long Island, NY and he understands the importance of a good crust. This is now our fav. Pizza by far. They make their own sauce with fresh basil and San Marzano tomatoes too! We also tried the meatball app, but we were so hungry that we ate them immediately. Really tasty!

    Decent undercarriage, a slight crisp, and not highly processed looking like a chain.

    Pizza was very good, if I'm being picky it could have cooked a little longer but wasn't doughy at all, it did have a light crisp. Sausage placement could have been a little better it's was kinda pooled into one main area of two pieces as you can see and one or two pieces ended up having very little sausage, again super minor stuff but could definitely be improved upon. I don't usually like to directly compare but this being pizza and not in my local neighborhood I would most closely compare it to Luigi's at Whitehall as this is my "neighborhood" pie. I would say Big Papa's is overall a little tastier for me than Luigi's, It's also a little more expensive. Is it overpriced well I don't know, I think papas 16" prices are right on par maybe their 12 inch prices are a little too high. I ordered a 12" pizza with pepperoni and sausage that's $13 for a cheese pizza and $2.50 per topping, so $18 plus tax it was like $20.33 or something out the door. By comparison Luigi's would be $11.50 for a 12" plain cheese and $1.25 per additional topping meaning $14 plus tax so $4 cheaper, but their 16" prices are much closer to each other, is it $4 better for what I ordered probably not but like I said it was definitely a little better. This is not local to me, but if I were back in the area I would get the pizza again. If this was my local "neighborhood" spot I would be very happy with that, it's very good non chain pizza. They only accept cash which I knew ahead of time, and they tell you on the phone, they have atm on premises. This is lazy for me in this day and age, I assume they don't want to pay credit card processing fees and I assume they make a little something off each atm transaction, so I think this is kinda a negative with all the forms of payment today. It's also confusing because the sign says 3% discount for cash payment but they only take cash so why have a sign, are they just giving everyone a 3% discount? I feel the only places that should get away with cash only are hole in the wall places where their product is so good and so desired they can basically do whatever they want, this is not that type of place, it's a very good above average non chain pizza. Don't go out of your way to try it but if you're in the area I definitely recommend you try it.

    In Charlotte for a work thing and as a pizza enthusiast from New York City, I was curious to see…read morewhat Geno D's had to offer. At first blush, it certainly had the smell. Even in a food hall with a dozen restaurants, you can smell the basil and the garlic from the moment you walk through the door. The staff was friendly and polite. I went with the large round cheese pie and came away incredibly impressed. The crust was crispy on the bottom and soft and chewy in the center. The cheese had just the perfect amount of pull to it and the sauce was vibrant and flavorful. The pie came out hot and fresh after about 10 minutes or so. I shared the pie with my group of New York City pizza snobs and everyone came away impressed. Long story short, if you're in Charlotte for work or even if you're a local, Geno D's stands up with the quality pizza joints in New York City. Excellent pizza aside, the staff was fantastic. There was a bit of a weird incident when my pizza came out and the staff could not have possibly handled things any better. While putting my fixings on the pie as any God-fearing pizza enthusiast should, I noticed there was no garlic powder and informed the staff. They apologized then told me someone probably brought it to their table and they'd go retrieve it for me. Turns out someone did bring the garlic to their table. No biggie, right? Except that when the staff member asked to have the garlic back so another customers could use it, he refused. Instead, he went on a bizarre diatribe with the staff member about why he didn't want to give it back. After listening politely, the staff member told him that my pizza was getting cold, then brought me the garlic. Turns out this rude guy claimed to be a food influencer who was incensed the garlic was taken away to be used by another paying customer. The rude garlic lover was about 4'10 wearing lumberjack plaid and he threatened to give them a bad review and urge his alleged 8 million followers not to patronize their establishment. Putting his obvious lack of pizza etiquette aside, this is simply a staggering display of bad form. It's also petty, especially when he was obviously in the wrong. Anyways, go to Geno D's, a pizza joint that even New York City pizza snobs will love. And if for any reason you see a diminutive dude hoarding the garlic powder, for the love of everything holy, DO NOT disturb him! We wouldn't want him to cause any problems for local businesses.

    Nice little counter service pizza joint located in a food hall in downtown Charlotte. Was drawn to…read moreit due to all the positive review. Of course Yelpers didn't disappoint, as the pizza and ingredients are pretty darn good. You can get a personal 10" pizza for about 14.99. Took it back to my hotel room to grind on.
