Geno's Pizza and Burgers

Geno's Pizza and Burgers sits quietly on Lief Erikson Drive, offering a welcoming reprieve from the brisk pace just beyond Astoria’s downtown edge. Walking in, you’re met with the easy hum of familiar chatter, the clinking of glasses, and the inviting warmth of a no-fuss neighborhood spot where folks know your name—or at least recognize your favorite order. The space feels unpretentious, perfect for lingering over a meal or grabbing a quick, satisfying bite between errands.

The atmosphere strikes a careful balance: lively enough to feel alive but with a relaxed tempo that encourages connection and comfort. Whether you’re settling in for a family dinner, sharing a meal with friends, or stopping by solo after a long day, the mood is quietly accommodating—flexible to the rhythms of the people passing through.

Geno’s shines in its approachable menu, which echoes the taste of classic American favorites served with a thoughtful touch. The pizzas come with a variety of toppings that feel generous rather than overdone, their crusts crisp where they should be, tender where it counts. Burgers here carry a sense of nostalgia—juicy, with a bit of character—sometimes joined by crispy onion rings or those perfectly golden tater tots. The sides, like the bread sticks or fresh salad options, round out the meal with simple, honest flavors that invite you to savor small moments of pleasure.

What lingers most after a visit to Geno’s isn’t just the food but the gentle rhythms of genuine hospitality. Servers move with care and attention, adjusting to how you want your visit to unfold—whether that’s a quick check-in or a slower, more relaxed meal. It’s a spot that fits comfortably within the local fabric, where everyday ingredients and familiar dishes come together to create a quietly satisfying experience. You leave feeling held by a little corner of Astoria that’s content to be both a reliable refuge and a backdrop for shared moments.
