    a slice of cheese pizza in a styrofoam container
    Gabby Z.

    Got slices of pizza yesterday and they were super good as always. The sauce is very tasty and the crust has a garlic taste to it. They still have there specials but now $5 which isn't bad you get a slice with pop. I got a slice of cheese and pepperoni. You gotta try this spot.

    Ample parking, friendly staff, hot pizza!!! Just flew in to Chicago & wanted a slice of pizza. Found this spot on Yelp & it was close to the hotel. Pizza slices were humongous!!! ...and delicious. Only drawback, it was a little greasy BUT nothing napkins couldn't soak up! . Sat outside to enjoy the weather along w/my slice. Plenty of deals & the prices are reasonable. If you're in this part of Chicago, stop in and grab a slice! You won't be sorry!

    Pepperoni with extra cheese - delicious!

    I've ordered from Generoso a few times now, and I have to say, their pepperoni is the most flavorful I've had anywhere. I love everything about their pizza (always a thin crust pepperoni here!), except sometimes the crust may be a little tough around the outside pieces. The inner pieces are always perfect. I recommend this place for sure!

    We have lived in this area since 2016. First time trying Generoso tonight. Both of us were pleasantly surprised! Service was prompt and our orders were correct. Hubby remarked how nice it was that he thinks the owner made a point of talking to him. Prices were reasonable! I like the location on Army Trail and the fact that it is on the corner of the strip mall across the street from McDonald's. I had the shrimp meal which was good sized. I would get it again. Hubby had the Italian sausage. Looked big as well and the price was excellent. We would both return.

    Not the pizza I want when I'm looking for a crunchy crust and fresh topping pizza. More like if you're looking for pizza for kids...

Perfect crust, excellent cheese, and I absolutely love the addition of the sesame on the crust. Not sure when I'll be back to the area, but Glen Ellyn is lucky to have this spot.

The quality ingredients stand out for sure, the perfect preparation shines, but the real star is the crust. It's chewy in the right places, crispy at the end, buttery, and holds up to serious toppings. For pizza that quality to be prepared and cooked within a reasonable time was impressive, and it wasn't like it was empty - we had great service even with a ton of take out orders and diners in the restaurant. The seating area is modest, but I was there for the pizza - and boy did it show up. Easy 5 stars.

Tonight we learned the Carol Stream one had closed, and ownership here was changing hands, but the new owners don't intend to mess with a good thing. We're not super familiar with Jersey style pizza, but it is nice being able to get really nice pizza by the slice. We tried the pepperoni, the sausage, the three sauce (with vodka sauce and pesto), and the white pizza (with garlic and ricotta). All were great, and surprisingly my preschooler's favorite was the three sauce (which I think is also mine), while my wife liked the white pizza. The slices are huge with a good crisp undercarriage, and lots of flavorful sauce on top. The service we experienced at both locations were top notch as well. To top it off, when we came here, there was a table with a couple people who looked straight out of Jersey (at least from my limited knowledge), and they were big fans as well. Looking forward to returning!

They have a small private parking lot but there is also plenty of easy street parking out front.   The big place wasn't particularly busy until close to 7pm trivial game time.  Overall, I'll go with 4.50 rounded up to 5 stars particularly for their nice $5 per pint Thursday promo.
