“ I stopped in for a couple of slices and got a Sicilian and grandma. I'm usually not a fan of Sicilian slices, but this was actually excellent. The grandma slice also hit the spot. The price of each slice was $3, which also isn't bad compared to other places. They've also got a nice selection of baked goods that I'll have to try one day. ”
“ The pizza is excellent and came on time. The delivery driver was kind as well! I look forward to ordering again. ”
“ This place is a big deal. One of the last standing real Italian bakery(now also pizzeria) in Sunset Park.Lovely people and very attentive behind the counter. You feel(and hear)the Italian spirit in the air. Amazing bread,delicious pastry and also just since a few months fantastic pizza.Fantastic Arancini,like you can see in the pic. I recommend a grandma slice,thin and light as paper. The sauce is so good and not full of sugar like many other places do. Also,you should try the hero sandwiches..oh my!!!!!!!!!! What are you waiting for?!?!?? ”
“ I like this place. Their pizza is pretty good, decent. Their bakery goods are their expertise though. There's always a seat available to enjoy my meal. ”
“ Well established Family owned bakery in Sunset Park Brooklyn. The area may change but this doesn't, it is truly an old fashioned wonderful bakery. She (the owner) is just a darling. Soooo friendly and helpful. I had a sesame bagel with butter, and it was perfect! Recommend highly! ”
“ Just found this authentic old school Italian bakery yesterday. The selection is large,the service was lovely, and the cookies are buttery and "so fresh they talk back." Can't wait to go get more! ”
“ Stopped by with my friend because she wanted to pick up some Italian bread. The staff greeted us and was patient while we looked around. Their displays were lined with so many yummy looking desserts I had to try one. I got a cream puff and it was decently sized. The pastry was really good! The puff was soft and the cream tasted like ice cream!! I can't say how the other items were, but I'd definitely be back to try them! ”
“ I love Generoso's awhen i left Queens It took me a while to find an authentic Italian bakery in Brooklyn. And if you are like me, there is no need to look any further. They have great butter cookies, rainbow cookies and linzer tarts. Besides the great pastries they have some great cheesecakes. If you're in the neighborhood and are feeling like having a sandwich, they have a great Italian sandwich that will keep you coming back all the time. And the owner and his wife are total sweethearts, they are always friendly and always happy to help with a smile. Please dont forget to adhere to proper social distancing protocols! ”
