A little bit of a weight but the pizza was really good and I got the chicken soup which was also very good hence the reason I gave it four stars who was delicious
This is not the same Gencarelli's from back in the day. When I and my family first found out about this pizzeria, this used to be the home for the "5 dollars large plain pizza" and we all fell in love with the taste, quality, and of course that price. Now I get those days are long gone and the economy is not the same but even the quality of the pizza has gone downhill.
This is no longer the same pizzeria with their famous 16" x-large pizza for $6. The prices you see on their website is for a 14" pizza - $8 for a plain pie with taxes or $10 for a X-large 16" pie. So yes the prices have gone up drastically. Additionally, the x-large pie is only actually 15", it is much thinner, and has much less cheese then before - like 40% less.

This is no longer the same pizzeria with their famous 16" x-large pizza for $6. The prices you see on their website is for a 14" pizza - $8 for a plain pie with taxes or $10 for a X-large 16" pie. So yes the prices have gone up drastically. Additionally, the x-large pie is only actually 15", it is much thinner, and has much less cheese then before - like 40% less. The tomato sauce is the same - very tasty and the heart of the pizza. One person can now eat a whole X-large plain pie given it is so much less substantial than before. SAD that the place has raised prices so much while reducing the quantity at the same time. Less
Their sauce is one of a king always delicious always fresh ingredients. When you looking for a family recipe type of pizza this is your place enjoy🤤🤤
My daughter loves their pizza..they remember my name and all dat
Saddened to say we didn’t get to eat it because it was burnt!
Very Good pizza very good prices.

Unless Unreal Deli Vegan Sandwiches is an in-house entity like I learn of another store of which I'm unable to find a location on Google/Yelp because of it being like an in-house entity, I don't know what's going on with Unreal Deli Vegan Sandwiches having the same address as Gencarelli's Pizza Factory. Even so, I'm leaving à good review for Unreal Deli Vegan Sandwiches. I like subs. I like a good sandwich, yes, though cold subs particularly. Now, being in New Jersey AND Vegan, I'm glad about discovering Unreal Deli Vegan Sandwiches. I order The Reuben which is tasty though I don't mind a little more vinegar, salt, and pepper on a Reuben. The entire sandwich is firm-soft. I'm curious about the way other sandwiches might taste especially since Vegan meals can differ in taste so much per brand and/or type of Vegan meat. The Reuben travels well (tasty after about thirty minutes). Less
Good pizza
Order from here almost weekly & the prices are so affordable! Highly recommend!
They raised their prices but are still the best
Small pizza
Perfecto
I was having a kids party , waited 2 hours for 3 pies. When the pies arrived the boxes were soggy from sitting so long & the pies were cold. This place has gone down the drain.
If you eat you won't eat again at dominos, pizza hut, or any other place
Over 35 minutes for two slices and missed my meetings. They said it would take 15 minutes. Time management is not their skill set.
Food is very good just make sure you repeat your order if it's over the phone
Friendly staff, delicious food, overall great place to eat
I wish I can reply to the comment sent to me but I guess I just edit this review Pizza went from a large 6$ to a small 8$ I won't be coming here no more back to domino's the only reason I go to dominoes is because the I'm with your daughter and she loves it so if you have any questions ask her don't ask me I hate pizza she loves it as she said family business isn't like before
NY Pizza style in NJ!
Bought $16.00 mussels,the sauce was good yet the amount of mussels weren't worth $16.00 very small portions
Muy rico recomendado
Ricas 🍕 y ensaladas 🥗 a buen precio Para disfrutar en familia 💖
Super deliciosas
I've called and still have to wait a whole hour for 2 pies I've think they sold it last time I'll order here.... mind u the person that takes orders have no manners at all
Very good prices and the food is delicious

This place is a scam!!!! They charge $1 per pizza for credit card, then they charge another $2.03 on top of that to use the credit card, and then add some type of convenience fee onto the credit card after use. The original receipt never matched the final receipt. The pizzas are not made fresh. They make a bunch at the beginning of day and keep them on top of the oven so they stay hot. The pizz... More

I’m usually stoked to order from Gencarelli’s. I’ve loved the pizza and the wings since I was a little girl, so much so I even had a birthday party there once. But my experience the last two times I ordered from Gencarelli’s was unfortunate and upsetting. The previous time I ordered they got my order wrong and when I notified them about this they told me “we have a new employee working here she made a mistake.” I told them I understood and would just like my order fixed and they told me it would be an additional $5 for the delivery. Not only did I have to pay for their inconvenience but the delivery driver was also nasty and impolite. Since the cashier on the other end of the phone was understanding, I decided that I’d try again. Today I ordered and they gave me whatever bootleg boneless wings these are. I wonder if its because of our unfortunate previous encounter or if they just find it funny. I’m sad to say that I won’t be ordering here anymore. Less
Fast service, low profile ces
On a budget but don't want to cook, they have $7.00 plain pies and they are fresh and delicious!
I always order from here when I get pizza for my daughters school. They are professional, and the food is very good. I will always be a customer. You won't be disappointed I have tried other items on the menu that are very good as well!
Nice thin crust pizza. Fresh toppings
Excellent service lots of cheese just like mamas
No. Food lost quality
Best cheap eats on Bloomfield Ave. Here since I was a kid
Best pizza in Essex county
Delicious pizza!! Their wings are top tier!! Best wings I’ve had in a while! Would definitely recommend and order from them again!
Use to be my favorite pizza spot until I call today to get my regular order of excheese pizza half pepperoni she tell me I have to spend 25 dollars when my order is already nineteen dollars. You'll lost a good customer.
Great
They have slices of pizza for under $1.75 also are really good
Best pizza & wings in town hands down
The Pizza is old school well done crisp thin enough!! My family loves it can’t beat the price for this amazing Pizza!!!
Omg!!!!! I have been looking for a real Italian pizzeria for years..... I bumped into this one by chance and oh wow.... I ordered and the driver which was real nice and funny. He gets 5 stars too. We ordered 1 plain pie and 1 pepperoni with a Pepsi 2 liter. Everything was so good!!!! I'm never ordering from anywhere else thank you so much
Best pizza I’ve had in a long time!!
Best pizza in north jersey. Yea I said it!!
People were friendly and the vibes in the store are very cool. I like the large selection of menu options and the team work they have is amazing! 😊 .. A friend recommended this place a while back and I've been impressed every time I walk I to the establishment.
My vegan sub was absolutely delicious! The customer service is very typical of Newark… but the sub!!
Lifetime No Newark resident and first time customer. Ordered pizza and spaghetti to go, just want to say I’m no kid and I’ve eaten in a loot places but I was thoroughly surprised by the taste and quality of your food. I will be back. Thank you for your service and the counter girls get a special mention for their help. John Anthony Gomez
One of my favorite pizza spots ❤❤❤❤
Great pizza at a great price
I was not given what I paid for...No refund....No make up....No. Care that I didn't get what I paid for. Shame? This is so wrong...BUT HEY THAT'S THE WAY BUSINESSES ARE DOING THE BEST PAYING CUSTOMERS THESE DAYS!!!…Received a Reply from the manager we will see just what will become of this issue…..# NO MEAT IN MY STROMBOLI …..Just Cheese and Bread…Shameful.
Love this thin crust pizza
Great pizza but the parking is horrible
Excellent
Buen servicio
According to Google Maps and their app they were supposed to have just opened when I arrived they were completely closed as if they were not planning on opening
Pretty cheap and good pizza , 🍕 😋 they are pretty fast if they aren't crowded. Nice staff and alot of parking space . You can dine in also .
Good pizza
I’ll be back to try the other pies I had the ultra thin it was AWSOMME

Good pizza. I only have an issue with their buffalo wings. Their buffalo wings are perfectly cooked. The problem? They ruin their wings with too much seasoning. If they cut down on the salt, garlic powder, or whatever type of seasoning they put on their wings by 25-50 percent their wings would be perfect.

If they cut down on the salt, garlic powder, or whatever type of seasoning they put on their wings by 25-50 percent their wings would be perfect. If they'd did that then, in my opinion, they'd have the best wings among the restaurants I order wings from. Another issue is that when they send you wings with a side of blue cheese or ranch dressing, for some reason, they put the side dressing container literally on top of the wings. It makes you have to pull the containers out of the batch of wings and wipe the sauce off the little containers. Plus the idea that someone just touched that container and stuck it in your wings is very inconsiderate and would probably make people reluctant to buy food there. Fix those issues and I'd order from there again. Less
Im from BROOKLYN so I take my pizza seriously ! & Gencarelli's Understood the Assignment😎
First time ordering from Gencarelli’s. Probably will be my last. I ordered the Stuffed Shells & 8pc Buffalo Wings. The pasta sauce for the Stuffed Shells was not tantalizing at all. The Shells themself were not good at all neither. The Buffalo Wings were extremely salty and inedible. First time in my adult life I didn’t finish Buffalo Wings.

First time ordering from Gencarelli’s. Probably will be my last. I ordered the Stuffed Shells & 8pc Buffalo Wings. The pasta sauce for the Stuffed Shells was not tantalizing at all. The Shells themself were not good at all neither. The Buffalo Wings were extremely salty and inedible. First time in my adult life I didn’t finish Buffalo Wings. I paid $32 for the combo, and it was not worth it in any way, shape, or form. The total should have been $12, maybe. Hopefully they’re better known for their Pizza, rather than their dinners, but I would def not be trying this place again. Only reason I give it 2 stars is because I was expecting it to arrive in “1.5 Hours”, but it came in 30 Min. Def could not give it a recommendation to anyone. My first experience was not a good one at all. Less
The pizza was good but the prices where better
Recently gave this pizzeria a try, five stars across-the-board!! Had me back 2x in one week , great deals & quality ingredients & taste ! I am a big pizza fan and after having to change from my local pizzeria due to customer service lacking , I’m So glad I’ve found this local shop ! Update * customer service lacking 04-11-22
Great pizza had a my birthday party everyone loved it.
Fast service
Pizza was good
Delivery was 30 mins late and my pizza came ice cold. I wish I didn’t tip on the card because if I could I wouldn’t leave one at all.
The point serves up some Delicious pizza but those wings will cause someone to have hypertension and it won’t be me. I had to throw them out because the wings were simply too darn salty.
Good pizza
Great pizza and meatballs
Love the pizza from this place. But it’s the second time I pay for extra pepperoni and they forget to do put it!
Great pizza
👏
Amazing good pizza and friendly counter staff.
Pizza taste so good, cheesy and crispy. Definitely finger licking good. Great prices also. They sell other Italian items and sandwiches as well. You can buy a cheese slice for $1.50.
What used to be 6 dollars pie are no more 🤦🏾♂️
The chicken Masala, eggplant parmesan, calamari OMG!!!! TOO GOOD!!! This is my go to because I know I will enjoy it
Staff is friendly and service is great as well as the food
Worst pizza ever.
Great food! Fast delivery! Great prices!
Great food, fast service and good prices
the sausage & peppers from Pat's was as good as always
I just left there and NOT ONE EMPLOYEE HAD A MASK ON....NOT ONE 🥵🥵🥵🥵
The only reason they are getting 1 star is because I have to give a star period. I ordered through GrubHub for it to be cancelled for no reason. I called and said I would pick my food up. I was told 20 mins, but 30 mins later food still not ready. 40 mins later food still not ready. I was hung up on twice trying to get my order in. Then when I get to the place for pick up the people are rude. ... More

Then when I get to the place for pick up the people are rude. No one has manners and says please or thank you. I asked to speak with a manager and get told if its about my order it will be ready soon, and just wait for my food. I had to ask someone else for a manager. Finally after waiting almost 10 mins, a manager comes out. She never introduced herself and was also nasty and rude. In front of staff and other patrons, she yells at me to refund me my order because she is not going to listen to anything I have to say and she doesn't argue with people. She also advised me to leave a bad review online and she will deal with that, because she didn't want to hear that her and her satff are nasty people and have no customer service skills. I will also be sure to leave a review with the BBB since they also charge a service fee to use a debit or credit card. Less
I love this place! Ask for Donna, she will make sure she takes care of you!!! The food is wonderful....!!! Go and Enjoy it..
Excellent pizza my kids love it but prices are going up as usual every where that they start low until they get famous and they increase their price. But I still want to buy it for my son who loves to go there for Italian 🍕
love love the pizza and fried calamari!!! Our go to spot .
Congratulations Gencarelli's Pizzeria, you out pizza'd the hut!
We love their pizza AND their wings are soooooo good! Super crunchy yet delicious.We also love how friendly the staff is. Highly recommended !
place is suckss for delivery 2 f.... hours f.... wait dont calll with the apoligyse its all
We were invited to Gencarelli's to try out their conveyor pizza oven. We did and loved it. Our visit went beyond just trying out their ovens. We had the opportunity to hang out with this great group of people. We learned a lot from their years of experience. We enjoyed a regular pizza while there and took a sicilian home. Both were delicious. Thanks guys!
awesome food, awesome people, easy to get to, lots of parking
Pertains to the food truck on Bergen street. Slow service, wrong order, sandwiches don't come with the sides that are advertised on the menu but my sandwich did come with hair that I didn't order.
Pizza was slammin! I paid a $3 delivery fee and all my pizzas were only $6 each! Thanks Genc's
Ordered chicken Parm and it was bad , I thought it was old , but no it was “over cooked” words from the cook/owner. I called to helpfully get a new 1 and my option was to get a credit for my next order , so I guess they wanted me to just eat that crap! I would post a picture but it’s covered in sauce and cheese , wouldn’t do it justice for how it actually tasted
This is my favorite pizza hands down , my one and only spot ! � plus close to home
I have had their pizza and wings several times, the crust us excellent. Today I had their Alfredo, it was the best I have ever had, the best and their was easily enough for two. The salad was fresh, onions and tomatoes, fresh tender lettuce. I will go there again and again. Thank you.
They charge for the smallest things like extra sauce on a chicken parm sandwich, 1.00$ for a sprinkle of more sauce (never received the extra sauce) is ridiculous and I received RAW chicken. Between the 3.00 delivery fee, the charge for small basic items and the food that is not consistent, I’m officially done!

OH and if they don’t like your review they will blame you.... one response by the owner was assuming I didn’t call and just wanted to complain. No I actually did call but because I am a teacher I didn’t have time to wait another 40minutes for food..... I had to get back to work. So the food was bad and their customer service was even worse!

Not only is the pizza fabulous, but everything we have ever eaten from Gencarelli's is like NOWHERE else. The sauce is perfect and I have yet to eat anything I didn't love! THANK YOU FOR BEING AWESOME! And who can beat that price? Customer for LIFE! ���
Best place to go for a legit large pie for $6!!!! Atomic wings will surprise you.... though I'd like them a bit spicer/hotter.... Calzones are awesome....
