The Scene
Want to go where everybody knows your name? At Geraci's, your name is "honey." As in, "Honey, seat yourself," or "Honey, you look a little thin. Lost weight?" From the outside, there's little to recommend the place. Inside, the decor runs to high pizzeria: Martini & Rossi posters, overhead fans, fake stone arches and extra paper napkins tucked into water glasses.
The Food
Most menu items are covered in a semi-sweet tomato marinara referred to locally as Geraci sauce. Baked pasta, golden-breaded veal, deep-dish pizza are the equal of anything offered at more upscale alternatives. The pasta is a perfect al dente. The sweet sausage plays off the delicacy of the veal. Sadly, not even the Geraci magic can make a pineapple pie palatable; but the pepperoni is an epiphany, imported especially for use as a thin-sliced topper. The pizzas (four-cut smalls or eight-cut jumbos, loaded with everything from mushrooms to buffalo chicken) are among the best in the hemisphere.

I have been going to Geraci's for over 50 years.....It has obviously stood the test of time. One must overlook the male half of owners......he is rarely there anymore. The food is great....reasonable and the atmosphere is friendly even when HE is sitting there watching like a hawk! Everyone mellows with time.............but the food?? Mama Mia:)

The pizza is very good I love the pepperoni. And the antipasto salad is the just the absolute best! they have thick pieces of meat and cheese and the dressing just sets it off. And the garlic toast that comes with it magnificent! I used to work next door to geraci's and ordered for lunch on a regular. They are the best!

Tight Squeeze:
Even with a long bench seat that runs the length of the room, elbow room is limited, say, to the Italian national soccer team plus guests. Parking is even more of a joust.
