I'll try to make this as short as I can. Whenever I'm back home in upstate NY, visiting the family...I always go to Cams. I grew up on this pizza and even with the new owners, it's still the best pizza. I see Geneva people on Facebook forever complaining "tHeY cHanGed eVeRyThinG! FK cAMs!" The pizza legit tastes exactly the same. They even said they wouldn't change the pizza. People just love to bitch. Is it sad the old owners retired? Of course. We went to Cams every Friday night for like 30 years. They knew our order before we even called to order. We probably didn't even have to call bc they knew we'd be there every Friday. I guess they changed something like the spinach dip or something? Not sure. I hate spinach and so there for would never eat spinach dip. So I couldn't care less about that lol. The staff is friendly for the most part. Seems to be new people every time I go in tho. So the ONLY complaint I have...hahaha...the new paint job outside. I get it ... new owners, they wanted to make it their own. But seriously...blue and white and BLUE!!! I mean... BLUUUUUUE! I love the color, but this is so overkill. It honestly looks ridiculous. I get they wanna stand out. You can see this ish from space lol. Pizza is Italian. The colors before we bland and boring BUT at least it didn't look like....a GREEK RESTAURANT! So, I'm a tourist right? First time in Geneva, visiting the finger lakes for the beauty, wine country, the classic American small towns... I'm driving into downtown Geneva and I see this bright ass blue and white building...my first thought would be ...oh, a Greek restaurant. Too bad, I'm in the mood for pizza. So as I continue driving...PAST Cams ... I get on Yelp or Google and see...oh! Uncle Joes. Continue there. Ok, obviously for me personally I'd look up places as I drive through the downtown area. However, say an older couple or foreign family drives through...first sight of Cams..I guarantee immediately they'll think it's Greek. I took pics and posted it to facebook back in August. Friends in like Scotland, England, Greece, and other places all thought how odd that they'd paint a pizza place the colors they did. It's very odd. An update is obviously always good for most places and I am happy the new owners are making it their own, but good lawdy, man! Blue and white?? Maybe it's weird bc I grew up back there and frequented Cams a LOT. If not with my family, in school, junior high and high school..we ALWAYS went to Cams. So I guess bc of that we all just assumed it would never be these colors. Maybe their goal was to get people talking. It worked. I saw ONE positive comment to my post back in August. She used the word "stunning" I wanted to be like...do you know the meaning of stunning? I went to school with her. So I'm glad at least one person likes it. Aside from that, Cams is still the best pizza. Indoors is the same...thank God!!!! Hopefully they haven't painted the inside of that since I left lol. If they do...and yall see this....ITALIAN!!! Ok! ITALIAN! Not Greek! Noooo GREEK! One last thing, it's pricey as hell! Ooooh chyle! Their prices have jumped! It was $50 for two mediums! MEDIUMS! This is where I'd insert the "mind blown" emoji but Yelp doesn't allow emoji's for some reason. So yes, the pizza is great, but get ready to shell out some cash! Maybe they are trying to make up for the lost customers who now think this place is a Greek restaurant. ;-) Thx for reading, YelperCam'ers!! Cheers! read more

This place is the BEST pizza around, if you're looking for a New York City-ish slice! Good prices, amazing pizza, and good options. They have rotating specials, and the ones I've tried have been great! The atmosphere is nothing crazy, but it has a nice little vibe. Cam's is a GREAT spot if you're looking for a bite after a walk on the boardwalk, totally recommend! read more

Cam's has been a Geneva institution since I believe the 80's. They make their own dough on site and produce as close to NYC style pizza as I have ever found upstate. The place isn't fancy, you can eat there or take your pie home, and they also have wings and some other goodies.To top this all off, Cam's is a real community supporter, donating to many activities around town. Good food and good people behind it. What more can you ask? read more

Mouth started watering the minute I walked in the door. Super friendly staff. Highly recommend.

I loved the aesthetic of this pizzeria! Reminded me of NYC hole-in-the-wall pizza shops which added greatly to my eating experience! I shared 3 slices with a friend and the worker at the counter gladly cut our slices in half! We had the pepperoni mushroom slice, the cheese slice, and the white garlic slice! The thing I loved the most about the pizza here was there thin crispy crust. It had a crunch and it was the most thin slice I've had upstate NY by far. I thought, there could be more flavor or and cheese! (I wished that it was saltier: NY pizza tastes much better greasy and salty imo!) read more

Good thin crust pizza but I would have it baked more to get the burnt spots that make such great pizza. The sauce and toppings were very good. read more

Recently ordered a large pizza. We asked for well done and crispy, but it wasn't cooked properly, very soggy. There was also very little cheese. I could see tons of spots where the sauce poked through because they didn't put enough cheese on to cover the pizza. They were skimpy on the other toppings we ordered as well. read more

I do not recommend you order delivery. The delivery driver is the most unfriendly woman. She complains about bringing your food and tosses it around. We even watched her throw the pizza boxes on the ground. Keep in mind it was a large order with a large tip included. read more

Ordered delivery on a Tuesday night and was told an hour to an hour and 15. I called at the end of the timeframe to ask for an update and they sent the driver out (we were only 3 minutes away). Wings were crispy and great, fried mozzarella sticks went well with the sauce, and the cheese pizza was alright. The pizza definitely seemed to have been sitting awhile and wasn't hot anymore. read more

In Geneva it is a common conversation topic- what it your favorite pizza place? And what is your favorite Italian place? Typically those would be two different answers. Well Cams by far is the best pizza I have had since living in NY. It is perfect. My favorite is the large combo with extra cheese and ranch (theirs is the best ever) and wings (my husband loves them). It is absolutely perfect. If I need something on the fly I prefer a small pizza over the slices. Since the food is amazing it is a popular spot and pretty typical to wait 25-30 minutes for a large pizza and wings for carry out. So plan properly. We have occasionally used the delivery service which is as one would expect. They have several drink and dessert options as well as a small area to eat in. read more

The food is really good; it is a normal small town pizza joint. I never have any problems ordering from here food-wise. The pizza is always good and they don't cheat you with their wings. From a flavor perspective, Cams in Geneva is top notch. It's everything else that has knocked them down to a 3 star rating. Where they lose two stars for me is that when you call and order, they always seem to be out of whatever you're looking for. The last time I ordered, I picked three appetizers before picking something actually in stock. I'm not sure if they sell out or if they don't update their menu but from an ordering standpoint, that is frustrating. It's also inconvenient that they seem to be the online Cams that doesn't have online ordering yet. While they are far the only restaurant without digital ordering (though that list is shrinking in 2023..), I have lived in areas that also have cams and you can always order online so you don't need to give your card over the phone. This also becomes challenging with their refunds: they "can't" give them. When we last ordered they forgot a portion of our order and couldn't refund it. They could only add it as a credit if we choose to eat there again. In a world and industry driven by ease of customer service, there seems to be a big breakdown in technology at this location. But please do know if you do get your food, it will be delicious, I will maintain the quality of food here is worth it. read more

Good pizza compared to other places in town. This is my 3rd time at this pizza place. The perks are that they have many different flavors and they're open up late if you need some food after a night of drinking, lol. This visit I had white pizza and meatball and banana peppers. I also got a salad. The slices were a little dry but still good. Both had good flavor. The salad was simple but a good side dish to the pizza. The restaurant has places to sit down and eat inside or you can get take out. I would come back again. read more

Nothing mind-blowing, but this is solid NY pizza. If I'm ever back in the area, I would go back!

This place has a solid NY style pizza. If you are a fan of thin crust, this is your place! The single slices are HUGE, and we would have just grabbed a couple of them if we had seen them first, but we ended up getting a whole pie. Pepperoni was delicious (though not the "cup" kind you get in a lot of WNY places.) Definitely NYC style. read more

Cam's Pizzeria - Pizza Near Me - Geneva, New York

Stopped in while walking around downtown Geneva. It was a hot day and I was in need of a beverage. It was not quite lunch time so we bought some soda to drink while resting our feet. The dining area was air conditioned and very refreshing. Staff was friendly and didn't mind us relaxing for a few minutes while drinking our soda. read more

Called & ordered a pizza for pick-up & was told it would be around 35 minutes. We got there & were told it would be another 15 mins. Meanwhile, two other couples came in and sat briefly then walked out with their orders. The girl at the counter was VERY unfriendly when we asked about our pizza. One of the many guys working in the back making pizzas asked our name again and suddenly found our pizza on top of the ovens. That was after sitting and waiting almost an hour!!! No one apologized or said anything. We asked for a crispy crust and cut into squares. The crust was not crispy & yes it was cut into squares but we had to use our pizza cutter at home because it wasn't cut properly. The dough was very doughy and NOT crispy. The reason we went to Cams is because we had stopped at Cams in Penn Yan and it was absolutely AMAZING there and the place was so clean!!! The pizza was awesome! Well we were in for a rude awakening at Geneva Cam's. ABSOLUTELY AWFUL !!! read more

Cam's is the best pizza in the Finger Lakes. There's no discussion here. Thin crust, New York style. Great prices. Fast delivery.

Summary: While I haven't ordered any full pizzas from Cams yet, I have gone in on numerous occasions to get slices. While the everyday slice variety could be better (Cheese, Pepperoni, Mushroom), they do have Daily Special Slices and my guess would be that they'd throw peppers or other veggies on a cheese piece for you. The pieces I've had seemed fresh enough, although admittedly it'd be a bit hard to tell since they put them in an oven to crisp the crust and warm them up. Price: The slices are a couple bucks and are pretty large. Two is always enough to fill me up. Taste: Pretty standard pizza, and while it's not bland, it's not going to win any awards. It's a standard, thin-ish crust, light sauce pizza with a crispy crust. The specialty pieces I've had include Chicken Bacon Ranch and Cheeseburger, and both were good enough that I'd get again. Atmosphere: The sit-down experience is decent, but sometimes it feels a little cramped. The floorplan, being a storefront in a historic district, isn't as spacious as you'd like it to be. Occasionally the tables are a little dirty, but nothing horrendous. Come at a slightly random time between meals though and none of this is a problem. The staff is always nice. Overall: I live close and can walk, so perhaps I'm biased, but I really like Cams. I'd lean more towards the high end of a 4 if I hadn't been to the Cams in Irondequoit, which has 8 or so varieties every day for slices, including Buffalo Chicken. Still good though if you want a slice of crispy pizza! read more

If I could rate this 0 stars I would. I ordered for a 7:30 delivery and the delivery guy came here at 8:00 and didn't have our food, and he said "I don't have your food with me, I have to go back to Cam's to get your order" Like what the f***!? Why did he come here then?? And then he didn't get here until 8:36 with our food! We ordered a Philly Cheese stake, 2 Chicken Parm's and a Chef Salad. All of our subs were COLD. WE'RE NEVER COMING BACK read more

Cam's describes itself as "New York Pizza". Which, technically, it is, being in New York State and all. But if you are expecting to get that thin, floppy, soft crust that is the hallmark of New York City, think again. Not that the pizza is bad, mind you, it actually was quite delicious. But this crust is very fat and bready, with a lot of butter flavour. Not quite like the citified version. 23 toppings are offered along with other menu options, like subs, pasta and salad. If you are in the area and you want delivery in the off season, be prepared for an hour + wait. Things go a bit slower in upstate NY than what maybe you are used to. read more

Cam's Pizzeria - White garlic & pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Geneva, New York

Best takeout pizza in Geneva. The only place that has green olives as a topping - a niche luxury but a luxury nonetheless.

Visiting from out of town. Yelp and the owners of the Airbnb we were staying in recommended this place. I placed a take out order for a single large cheese pizza because I feel that is always the best way to test a pizza joints basic skill level. If you screw up plain cheese, then your product is only going to get worse when you add more ingredients. Admittedly, pizza is a subjective topic... heck, even my wife and I disagree on what is good pizza. But when I see pizza advertised as New York style thin crust, I have a certain expectation. The pizza here generally tasted good, but it really could have used a couple extra minutes in the oven. The pizza was cooked through but had almost no browning at all. In my opinion a thin crust NY style pizza should be crisp and not doughy. Unfortunately, my pizza tonight trended towards the latter. On a positive note, the service was prompt and very friendly. read more

The pizza slices are huge. My friend liked the chicken wings. The pizza didn't have enough sauce for me and was tasteless.

Pizza is pretty good but this is not New York City pizza as advertised...not even close. Depends what you're looking for but it's decent. Staff was very nice r. read more

Pizza was ok, but way too expensive for what it was, place looked unkept and dirty. Overall pretty disappointing won't be going back.

I think they gave me a pizza from Digiorno's by accident. BBQ wings were pretty good though.

The thin crust pizza is not bad, but you have to ask for it. The worst thing about Cam's is the service and delivery. We ordered from them for the last time last night and here is why; the pizza arrived 2 hours after we placed our order. 90 minutes into it we called and they told us it was out for delivery, we told them we just wanted to cancel, we already ate! He told us to tell the driver to come back and he hung up on me!!! Hey Cam, you suck. read more

Go for the pizza slices. Anything else usely problematic. If you get a correct order ? You should play the lottery, because your dam lucky. They seem to operate separate kitchens ? Can't seem to get the timing right. Good food, but at a real aggravation. read more

Cams has the best pizza in Geneva by far. That's not really saying much since there aren't very many pizza places... but still. I LOVE Cams slices because they are super thin and definitely New York style. They use high quality ingredients and have lots of great toppings like my favorite, green olives! But I have to agree with what everyone else said about two things: delivery and crust thickness. The delivery is HORRIBLE... seriously, horrible. It takes forever and I've had pizza delivered cold more than once. Crust thickness... is too thick unless you order the XL size or slices. I order slices whenever possible because that is Cams at its best. A medium pizza from Cams is not worth the calories, IMO... but put an XL in front of me and I'll devour several slices. One more bad point is the price. They recently raised the prices again which is kind of unbelievable because they were already astronomically high, especially for this area. I am all for paying for quality but Cams is getting out of that realm and into the absurd. They need to tone it down or people are going to stop going there no matter how good the pizza is! read more

Love that you can go in and get individual slices of pizza. Sometimes you want pizza but not a whole pizza, so this is perfect! The slices are massive and fill you up quick. Prices are very reasonable. I often struggle with the amount of grease on pizza and I have found that Cam's is not nearly as greasy as other pizza places in town. Overall, I am a big fan. read more

Good pizza with friendly staff. Pizza is quick and they deliver. Personally, I like less dough and more sauce and cheese, but still a good pizza. They have 4 sizes (I think). They also have buffalo wings. There is a cooler of bottled soft drinks. They also have some seating inside which is all booths. read more

The pizza slices were on the larger size, but a little lacking on thickness and cheese/ toppings. The flavor was ok on both the mushroom slice and the white garlic slice. The bbq wings were tangy and had juicy chicken with just the right amount of crispness on the outside. The blue cheese dipping sauce complimented them well. The guy at the counter was friendly I can appreciate the "local" feel of the place and it's nice to see a pizza joint in business for over 30 years. Worth checking out if you're up late and don't want to go to a chain restaurant/ fast food. read more

Customer service?? You have to be joking. At a MINIMUM there were 5 people working on 12/30/18 about 12:40 p.m. Wanted to order 3 pizzas and maybe a couple dozen wings for a football party. Stood there and waited at the counter. No one assisted or even acknowledged my presence. Went to a place called Ciccino's. Not only were we treated well but coming from Kansas City was very impressed with the pizzas, wings and the 2 chicken parm subs. Thank you Cam' s for treating us like we didn't matter. I am sure the $108.00 won't matter to the employees but hopefully the $10.00 tip will. read more

I would of have given 1 star for how the service has been the past year, but their pizza is my favorite pizza to eat. About a year ago i had an issue with them not making garlic pizza. But this last issue has me never wanting to spend another dollar in this establishment ever again. I grab a slice usually every week, per my usual I stepped in to grab a slice that I was yearning for. A guy taking my order which I didnt recognize says oh "we have a 5 dollar minimum for cards". I explained I never had this issue ever before. He says lemme see what I can do, he goes and grabs someone else. This guy comes over and says, yeah we can't do that for you. This just amazes me that they made such a big deal about this. I understand why they implemented this, but the way they should of dealt with this is they should have said, we can do this for you this one time but have to have a 5 dollar minimum in the future. This is the best way to handle the situation. Not only you get a sale but you maintain a customer. Now you lost a customer and will continue to get bad reviews from me. read more

Great. Big. Slices! Cams is delicious and fast. They offer pizza by the slice or gigantic pies; eat in, take away, whatever! Service could be slightly friendlier. read more

My personal favorite place for pizza. We always stop in for a single slice. For such a small town of Geneva, there are way too many pizza places, but I think I'll stick with this place. Pizza always tastes fresh and is cooked pretty quickly. It's divey and looks kinda old but I've never felt unclean in it. If you can handle the dive scene, this will be nothing new. There are certainly better kept Cams I've seen in greater NY. I've only had pizza and salad from here. Salad is very basic - single slice pizza is the best but full pizzas are pretty tasty, too. Keep it simple with just pepperoni and cheese, maybe mushrooms. White garlic single slice is also awesome. read more

First and foremost, THIS IS NOT NY STYLE PIZZA! That being said its was fine. The pizza was good but very doughy, more than half an inch thick. They also happen to fall into my least favorite kind of pizzeria, the "We're really just a carry out/delivery place but we got a few tables so we pretend we're a pizzeria" model. Not really their fault since they're hardly the first to do this but it still bothers me. The pizza was decent but not special and only really disappointing since they were so highly touted as great NY style pizza. It was also a bit pricey. read more
