About

Café San Gennaro specializes in authentic Roman-style pizza al taglio, featuring rectangular slices with a characteristically light and airy crust. The menu highlights traditional Italian ingredients, ranging from classic margherita to seasonal vegetable and savory meat toppings. Beyond the savory options, the establishment functions as a dedicated espresso bar that serves high-quality Italian coffee alongside an assortment of artisanal pastries and house-made sweets. Cannoli and bomboloni remain core components of the dessert selection, prepared with traditional techniques to ensure consistent texture and flavor profiles. Patrons encounter a bustling, high-energy atmosphere defined by industrial aesthetics and communal seating arrangements. The focus remains on rapid, high-quality service for those seeking an immediate taste of Rome through both baked goods and layered, crispy-bottomed pizza squares sold by weight.

Stopped by Café San Gennaro for a quick coffee. We only tried a couple drinks but they were very good & the staff was warm & welcoming. There is also a nice outdoor seating area which made it a pleasant stop. The pizzas coming out looked amazing & I will definitely be back to try them next time.

Pizza is great. Check your bill. If you order a mix of different pizzas, they will charge you seven dollars per slice no matter what it is. Most likely because of a lazy employee that doesn't bother to check what you ordered & just charges you the most expensive one .

Great for a quick slice of pizza, drink or a coffee. Not too many places to sit & place seems to be always crowded, but it's worth a visit if in the hood.
