The bread for my sandwich was great but the quality of the roast beef was not. Order a mixed meat italian combo instead.
This is a fantastic little Italian deli tucked into an unassuming back street in Stockton. Its a small store but they offer fantastic filled rolls and sandwiches with a great selection of fillings - everything very fresh I have never had a bad meal. Besides that they have sourced a variety of Italian and other European delicacies. Great store to pick up lunch and some great sweets, a must for anyone working in the area or just passing through....
Absolutely love this little deli/market! They have the best cannolis Ive ever had....even better than the ones I had in New York! Their focaccia bread is to die for. Its a small place so just a heads up go there early because it gets crowded during lunch hour. Its definitely a goldmine.
Awesome sandwiches! The bread is heaven! Try their roast beef or ham and cheese you will not be disappointed. This place is very well known for their bread and sandwiches.
Employees were friendly and went the extra mile to make my sandwiches. Always enjoy going there :)
I’m a little surprised by all of the amazing reviews. I ordered a deli sandwich and the bread was hard and stale, hardly any lettuce, one tiny slice of tomato, bruno peppers with the stems, very little mayo, and the pickle on the side was limp, not crisp. I can’t believe how many things were wrong with my sandwich!! Staff was pleasant but I wasn’t impressed with the food.
This little hole in the wall, is an absolute San Joaquin county must. If not for the bread definitely for the sandwiches. Not to mention all the other rare, amazing or just plain unique & reasonably priced items they carry. As for the staff, theyre pleasant, friendly and some of the hardest working people I have seen. Always willing to go the extra mile. They must have a magic super employee cloning machine, hidden in the back. To always find so many great people.
Went in for lunch around 12 and didnt take long for my sandwich to be made and to be back at work. Great stuff!
What an awesome place to get great sandwich, Deli meat, cheeses, cannolis, biscottis and other Italian treats. We went here yesterday to pick up some loafs of Focaccia bread and ordered 2 nice sandwiches. My wife ordered a Salami and 3 Meat Loaf Sandwich on a Sourdough Roll. I had a Ham and Smoked Turkey Sandwich on a Dutch Crunch Roll. Tons of meat at a great price. We will go back again soon.
The best spot to get a good delicious sandwich. Great customer service. Always fresh thank you for making delicious sandwiches.
Best sandwich shop in town. I wouldve given 4.98 out 5 just because of location. They are keeping it real from the very beginning
They had the sandwich order papers easily available, food was delicious as always. Customer service was great!
Great sandwiches. Old fashioned atmosphere. Very reasonably priced. I highly recommend
The best old school Italian bakery & Deli. Such a cool vibe from the wooden screen door closing to the very old hardwood floors. Great food fresh good service. Very Italian
Best in town. If youre going to a sandwich, go early. Always packed during the lunch hour
This has been an iconic Bakery for decades. I can remember going here as a kid with my family (circa 1970). The bread they make is as good as it gets.They also make excellent sandwiches at their deli. They have lots of choices, but my absolute favorite is their salami and cheese on a milk bread roll. Delicious!They also sell pasta and other supplies in their store.This is definitely a Stockton gem and worth visiting every chance you get.
Great place to pick up all those items you need for a small gathering or a large party. Delicious loaves of bread and a very large selection of meats and cheeses are available to choose from. The personnel are all friendly and helpful. My family has been going here for years and we still enjoy their fare. I highly recommend this establishment for parties or just to go pick up a delicious lunch! A Stockton treasure!
Excellent food and great service. Choices at the deli I have not seen any where else. Absolutely loved 😍
This place is awesome! Ive been coming here for decades. Great bread, great meat, great cheese. Its a stockton classic.
I love the fresh French bread. You can smell it if you drive by in the morning. Love the way it smells when its fresh
Best place to get sandwiches. I recently came back. This was my moms spot to get sandwiches. I do not live in Stockton anymore but during my visit, I went twice. I took a sandwich on the road. It was the only thing I had and it did the trick. I hate the greasiness of fast food when I am traveling but these sandwiches do not feel heavy. The staff are courteous and friendly.
Best sandwiches in town, get them on the milk roll if you can.
Always the go to place if u want great breads, rolls, sandwiches, etc. Genova is a staple to residents of Stockton. I remember my parents bringing home Genova French bread when I was young; many years ago. The store has an old school feel, and it is a pleasant change to have customer service. I get tired of big box stores. Its nice to see a local business get recognized for their hard work, quality goods, and friendly staff. The store is always busy; be patient, it is worth it. Support local small businesses.
The sandwich 🥪 was the best. And the service was excellentLove.the milk bread.
This place been around since I was young and it dont change. Good food good service! Always coming back for more!
Best customer service in Stockton! In the world we live in now, friendliness goes a long way. And the amazing sandwiches 🥪 😋
Best sandwich Ive ever had, focaccia bread was amazing.
Great bread and awesome sandwiches! Love this place!
Excellent service and sandwiches. They have other things to enjoy. Cookies,frozen pasta and fresh and delicious bread.
My 1st time it was great Ill be back, cant beat the qaulity and price
Great food. Sandwiches were huge and the service was extremely fast. Everything was slices fresh and they have great side dishes I would definitely recommend this place. Phone ahead for the best experience.
I showed up 4 minutes late. Traveling from Modesto. Pretty much begged them to sell me 2 loaves of french bread and a loaf of sandwich bread.Told them that I was a Teacher and that I would give them exact or over the amount needed. They told me no can do. I wanted the french bread to experiment with the advance students tomorrow. What ever happened to customer service? Are they so big that theyre to big for their own britches.Im a Teacher that gets paid until 3pm and doesnt get home from work until 8 or 9 every night. I know about sacrifice and definantly about customer service!!
Oh my goodness where have I been these past 13 years I’ve lived here in Stockton. I just came across this gem and let me tell you BEST sandwiches I’ve ever had in my life. And the bakery so much delicious stuff to choose from this place has the whole Italian feel from the moment you walk in , very generous workers I love love it. This is definitely going to be our go to!
I always found Genova bread to be a little gem in stockton , more specifically a little diamond in the rough because it really is in a rough neighborhood. Dont let the location dissuade you though, once you find parking on the street you will not be disappointed in the flavorful meats, breads and products stored within. I have been coming here since childhood and I am so happy that they have never once discriminated against non-english speakers such as the many fellow church goers that we refer here. The sandwiches are an item that I have yet to try but as far as their bread goes it is amazing! I would warn everyone that it is somewhat small inside and it does get crowded with just 5 people in there. The bakery , deli and sandwich area are all compacted so you have to be vocal if someone gets in front of the line without it being their turn. I have found unique items while in a crowded line such as lupini beans. I would have never tried them had I not been bored in a long line. I would recommend anyone here for focaccia bread, cookies, meat etc.
I celebrated my PhD today in this great place. I am glad to say that we passed a pleasant evening and the restaurant was evidently one of the reasons for that successful gathering. The waiters participated in a graceful style, the meals were tasty and my friends were very cheerful. We shall definitely visit again for more events. thanks very much.
Love their Sandwich very friendly and very fast when it comes to your order
This is my favorite sandwich place in Stockton, in fact probably my favorite sandwich place ever. I love coming here and getting sandwiches for my whole family because they are priced well and have quality ingredients, lots of meat and are delicious.
Great old school fresh Italian bread, noodles, , also serves great sandwiches at a decent price.A Stockton stable for many years.
Excellent place best sandwich in stockton
Best little Italy in our town. Big selection of different breads meats and wines cheeses. Great place thats been here over a 100 years..
Been going here my whole life and Im never disappointed. The focaccia bread is to die for.
Loved it.great food and always fresh bread.
Great made to order sandwiches on fresh baked bread and a nice selection of Italian imported groceries..
Genova has always been our go to place for French bread and deli meats for flavor and freshness. The pastries are great. They have varieties of pastas, some wines, and other products. The deli sandwiches are great and the staff are great. I ve never had a bad experience there.
Hands down the best sandwiches in town!! My family begs for them . Fresh and delicious ! Only wish for later hours and more soft rolls otherwise the go to spot! Try to call order in ahead of time but always well worth the wait
Great employee and service.Best bread Ive had in a long while.Old school.Great job, keep it up !
Authentic Italian meats and fresh rolls make up an excellent sandwich that will win you over. They open early so go in before work, get a fantastic sandwich. Let it sit in a cool place until lunchtime and enjoy...the flavors got even better as they had a chance to party together for a couple hours. My new fav lunch in Stockton.
The bread and sandwiches are the best in town. Customer service is always top notch as well. Other foods are good as well.
Great Customer Service, Best Sandwiches and Bruno Peppers!
Love the sandwiches there, they are always freshly made to order while you wait in record time how you want it and tastes delicious. I recommend ordering ahead if you are in a rush as they are Always extremely busy around lunch time but the ladies do a great job of getting your order out quickly.
Been going here for so many years love the bread and service i will always keep coming back everyone is always friendly.
Best Italian deli around bar nine!
This place makes such incredible sandwiches, that even my coworkers who live out of town love coming here! Ima huge fan of their bread, theres just no eating spaghetti in my house without it. Its so wonderfully crisp on the outside, and so soft on the inside. They also have a ton of goodies in the shop besides their baked goods n sandwiches. I love to grab a little cheesecake, or some Angelinas Meat Sauce to make the family something later. They also sell a bunch of different types of panettone around the holidays! I highly recommend this place, especially for their sandwiches.
Best sandwich in town hands down
My hubby brought me here for the first time. Loved it!! Had a delicious sandwich made over the counter. Tons of italian products, and Wine!!! Will be back here.
Great sandwichs, good service
Best sandwich and the workers Love this place
The place to get good n delicious deli sandwiches n delicious Italian French bread n browse around for some Italian goods. ... Pasta, sauces ...A landmark ... Built 1918 ... Still had hard wood floors .. old time brick oven n new style upright oven
Just great sandwiches, potato salad and service. Order ahead or be prepared to wait.. they are that tasty and every one custom made, yum
Genova Bakery has the best sandwiches in Stockton. The bread, meats and condiments are always fresh, made to order specifications. The staff is friendly and always very welcoming. You definitely get your money’s worth. Would recommend Genova Bakery to all!
Very good small Italian style deli and store. Always busy. Very accommodating service. Have a lot o specialty meats, cheeses, cultural foods. Good prices and service. Deli/market/bakery is over 60 years old. In a quiet residential neighborhood.
This place Deserves more than five stars bread is always fresh the cold cuts always taste great and fresh Friendly staff
Any place that lasts over 100 years has to be doing something right. Restaurants all over the city serve their bread. You cant go wrong with a meat and cheese lunch special sandwich either.
Been coming here since a kid and still love it
Best made sandwich In town.Got help from the very friendly and attentive and kind Genova staff.She went over the combos that I could add to make it Top sandwich in stockton.(this place knows what customers want)Fresh sliced meat at my request (s@lami,Prosciutto & Mortadella) plus provolone cheese on a fresh made Dutch crunch...All the additional vegetables and condiments created a sandwich 🥪 that was big enough to share with my mother.She loved it more than me.This is her new request when I stop by for lunch to get caught up.I will be back.I hope everyone gets a chance to experience this deli and store.I get fresh prastami and cheese and different rolls to take home throughout year.Try this place you will experience a true sandwich experience. Top of the sandwich makers in Stockton.
One of the best of the best in Stockton. Came here as a child and still coming here. Bread baked fresh. ❤
Sorry I dont have a picture I ate that sandwich super fast. Roast beef, sharp cheddar on wheat. Dont forget the Bruno Peppers!! Amazing sandwich 🥪. Great service! Super friendly, fast, quality! Sandwich made with love and made to order. I printed out the menu and made my selections. The cutest store, so much character. I will definitely be back to shop and of course pick up a sandwich. THANK YOU Genova! THANK YOU Goodday Sacramento for spotlighting them.
This place is a goldmine for real. ABSOLUTELY the best sandwiches Ive ever had in my entire life.Still delicious!
Had the mortadella w buffalo wing cheddar on Dutch crunch bread with a jar of Brunos peppers...its where yum goes for good food
Drove From Lockeford To Get Straight Out Of The Oven French Bread....Asked An Employee If It Was Baked That Morning....She Said All Our Bread Is Fresh... It Felt Hard....But, Trusted Her Answer.....Couldnt Hardly Cut Through It.... Next Day Solid Hard...Threw It In The Trash.....Genova Was ALWAYS FRESH.....🤨😶🤥
Great sandwiches and breat an italian products
Genova Bakery is the best! It is like going back in time as you enter this rustic, quaint little store. The wonderful smell of freshly baked bread is only surpassed by the actual taste of the many different types of breads available. The staff are friendly and very helpful. To me, Genova French bread is the ONLY French bread to buy!!!
Genova Bakery is an absolute gem in Stockton. My mom recommended it to me as I was wondering what to do for lunch. The people were amazing, the ambiance was very welcoming, and cheery. Oh and the sandwich was breath taking. It was truly a great experience.
Theres a great selection of prepackaged Italian food items in this place. I went in the for the sandwiches because I had heard they were amazing. I think theyre overrated as far the sandwiches go. Nothing extraordinary. Theyre good but nothing to oooh and aaah about. I thought theyd have sauces, other things to add to the sandwiches but theyre very, very plain. Lettuce, tomatoes, onions, mayo, mustard and thats it. Yes, theres different meats, breads and cheeses but thats it. Staff is quick, attentive and very nice. Great place, great staff and merchandise but not great sandwiches. Theres better out there.
Besides great bread and other eats a step back in time.
Greatest sandwich in the whole whole whole wide world 😍!!!😃💕 The owners are the ones in the store and are knowledgeable about everything inside. They make sandwiches on freshly baked in house bread and rolls, with fresh ingredients, and love. Go there, have them make you something yummy, take it with you , yes, no place to eat there, and ENJOY!!!
Wow! This was my first trip here and never knew it was a such a wonderful sandwich shop. I could tell that it was normally always busy bit it didnt take away from the great personal service. I ordered a combo sandwiches and especially appreciated the sandwich artist as she perfectly made my sandwiches to perfection. With stacks of meat and it just tasted amazing. Thank you so much!
It was my first time there and every bit as good as Ive been told.
Fair price for the quality of the meat there. Can call and place an order ahead of time to pick up later, which is helpful since it gets quite busy around lunch (for good reason!). Wish they would expand but can understand and appreciate wanting to keep the original historic business style intact. Awesome sandwiches.
Always enjoy my sandwich when i get a chance 2 b in the neighborhood. There bread is tasty as well. If u havent had a sandwich from this place or ordered bread do try u will not b disappointed. Calling in your order helps because it does get crowded at lunchtime
Awesome sandwhiches that definitely dont short you on meat. Everything is fresh and the soft milk rolls are awesome (Im sure the other breads are as well but havent tried them). For the price they cant be beat. Even the drink are reasonable with can soda under $1 and Snapple for 99¢. Staff is always friendly too, even when super busy.If you plan to go around lunch I suggest phoning in ahead or planning to be there a while, because the line can get long at times. Its worth the wait though.
No pictures because my sandwhich was gone lol... I love Genova Bakery!! Ever since i was just like 8 yrs old. My parents had moved here from Illionis.. We lived down the street at 1311 E. Flora. We would go get HOT OVEN fresh bread at night when it first came out that oven. Ans i will continue getting my bread and sandwiches all the time...
Only reason I am not giving 5 stars, is due to the customer service that I experience from time to time. It is literally a hit and miss at times. Ive been coming to this place since 2010, THE FOOD IS DELICIOUS, bread is always delicious and the meat is sliced in front of you. This place does tend to get busy all the time. They only things I noticed, are that there is no one taking your sandwich order now and people tend to rush and cut in front of you and there is no livelihood in the employees. I never see a smile on their face or greet customers as they come in or walk out. I mean you can call before had to order to avoid the wait, just double check your order as we are human and tend to miss a few notes written down, but I feel with this new place your order yourself thing, it gets way more crowded and hectic then what it did before.
Genova have good people working for them so what im going say i hope dont offend anyone not real personable its like just all about speed sometimes i have went there where they make the sandwich and it where its time to pay i find out and on the special of the month they should still ask what kind of bread do you want because the bread that i had today was tough they need a lil fine tuning
Ever since my friends and I first visited Genova last year, weve been hooked! We go for the sandwiches but the fresh bread is also amazing! Theres a wide variety of Italian goods including desserts and pastas. The historic store is reminiscent of an old world deli from New York. The service is always friendly and welcoming.
I love Genova Bakery. I grew up across the street from the bakery. We knew the owner Angelo. He would be so proud of his Bakery today. I miss getting the milk bread hot out of the oven.They make every kind of bread now. And the sandwiches are great! Always love Judy. ❤❤❤
Old school bakery, great sandwiches.
Amazing place with even more amazing sandwiches the service is good the food is delicious. This is one of the most underrated places to get a sandwich in Stockton or even the surrounding areas to Stockton without a doubt. Highly recommend for a great and delicious experience.
The many different kinds of bread baked fresh daily are just the beginning. I think they make the best deli sandwich in town with more cold cut options than Ive seen anywhere for a ridiculously low price. The shop contains snacks, treats and groceries that are hard to get anywhere else plus a cold case full of scratch made ravioli, cheesecake and more. As if that wasnt enough the customer service is really the best. Great job guys!
Definitely a gem in the rough! As soon as you walk in you smell the fresh baked bread!Great old world charm Italian grocery and deli! Great sandwiches at a great price, while your waiting for your order you can brows around and maybe find something new to try. Ive been a customer for over 20 years! Trust me on this one!
Helpful and friendly staff in an AMAZING old school Italian bakery and deli. I made a special trip from an hour away just for their pancetta and bread. Next time I want to go back and try the biscotti in the big wooden bin. I love this place because its like stepping back in time and everything is delicious! Their deli sandwiches are fantastic too. They have boxes of Italian and Jewish cookies and candies, a bunch of different olive oils, pasta flours, breads, pasta, and so much more! Its so much fun to look around I cant recommend this place enough.
Great find in a new place to find the Italian market, great bread and large meat and cheese selection. I really liked the Dutch Crunch roll. Step up and fill out a sandwich form and the wait for someone to say next and take your slip.
I absolutely love this place always very welcoming to new faces. Love how soft my milk roll bread is & I love my FAV honey Dijon chips which I have 2 get quickly due 2 them selling out 1st. A plus up about this place you can call in & they do accept EBT.
Great sandwiches. Lots of choices in bread/meat/cheese. You choose your condiments. Can be busy during noon lunch rush, but the staff keep it moving while remaking pleasant.
Staff is great. Good fresh and made to your satisfaction. Affordable price for a awesome deli. My go to spot
Great sandwiches, even better service very nice old fashioned.
Northern Californias oldest, and best Italian Bakery
Best bakery and sandwiches in town!!
Genova BakeryLocated on Sierra Nevada St in Stockton, CA.Heres my story:So the time is now, here I go. Back in the day when young VD was a young Wolf Cub (Toddler) My Queen used to take me to Genova bakery. Now I vaguely remember this place, as young Wolf Cub. We used to live a block away. Right before we went to live in Frankfurt West Germany (My Alpha was in the Army) My Mama used to get me Cheetos here.Note: Chips is like my favorite food. For reals.Now several years later when we came back State Side. We got some sandwiches and chips. My Queen told me when I was her little Wolf Cub. She used to bring me here. That memory is 30 plus years ago. But I remember that moment vividly.Now to the 2000s. I used to live on Pilgrim St. A few blocks away. This area has always special to me. I was a young Father with two children and then my last Princess. We would come here for bread and thier hella good French bread.Now thier sandwich bread is really good . Like the best bread Ive ever had.Throughout the years. It could have been once every other year or so. But I brought him. I would bring my only son to get sandwiches here. I was trying to recreate those moments that I had with my Queen.Circa 2004-2016When I used to work at Sears Automotive Center in Stockton, CA . I would frequently come to Genova Bakery for sandwiches. I would love to have salami sandwiches. I was hooked on them. But now Im not a spring chicken anymore, so salami sandwiches give me heartburn, lol.Ive tried the coppa sandwich several times and its hella good as well . So now I stick with turkey. Health reasons G, lol heart burn.Ill be back at Genova bakery in December 2020 my when my little 20 year old Wolf Cub comes back home from College in Hawaii.Were definitely a fan.Sincerely VDMy children are my world and everything else in life is a bonusIt only takes a moment to make a momentLife is beautifulEnjoying the simple things in lifeIm back so yall best be ready!
The freshest ingredients. The friendliest staff. Excellent variety for a small bakery. I came for fresh sandwiches and fell for the delicious potato salad and macaroni salad. It has been a 5-star experience each time.
Love this place, I been getting sandwiches here for a very long time. Must be the bread, yum.
Excellent sandwich menu with many options, breads and meats, cheese to create the sandwich. Best deli sandwiches!
First time there my son wanted some fugaza bread and salami but we ended up leaving too many people waiting already and I just didnt have the time to wait😒 of course my son wasnt too happy.. Maybe one day I dont really like how it seems to slow other than that I know theyre goods are the best.
Best sandwiches in town. You have to try the pepper turkey and salami on a milk roll. Oh and the chocolate chip cookies are otherwordly. Tell them Sultan sent you.
Been coming to this place for years and still they have very good bread and great homemade sandwiches and potato salad and a variety
Didnt buy anything prices were too high
Love this gem make you feel loved everytime you go in and the sandwiches are to die for order ahead for faster service
Thee Best sandwich shop in Stockton since Toms Market. OMG, I mean when i say they give you a sandwich i mean seriously a real sandwich for a fair price🤗🤗🤗🤗 Evening is fresh, Bread is made in house. And all the girls are so professional and polite. I recommend this place over and other deli in Stockton Ca. SincerelyBig M.U.K.E
Sandwiches are the best love this place
They have the BEST sandwiches. They bake their own bread so its fresh daily. The sandwiches are not skimpy they pack it with lots of fresh lunch meat that they slice right on the spot.
I love this place for the delicious bread, plus their sandwiches are awesome! The quality of the Italian products are top notch... you cant get these authentic products anywhere else. Treat yourself and visit this Stockton gem!
Oh my gosh! The foccacia bread! So good!!!! Go to visit my mom and make sure to bring some home. Cute little place with sandwiches and deli items as well as tasty take home options like tortellini, ravioli. Pastas, sauces and antipasto items.
I gave been going here since my teens and I am in my 70s. A true California landmark with the best French bread anywhere! Im Italian so I am a little bit biased with all their authentic Italian imported foods and pasta too.
Fantastic sandwiches. Unique items, not likely to be found at other stores. A true gem. If you like Italian, then this is your place.
There rolls are to die for. If you like bread, youll be in heaven. Very small place with a line out the door but worth the wait. And you must try any one of there sandwiches. Made to order, $6.25 but well worth it.
Cant say enough about this place, killer meat and sandwiches, oh ya, and bread!!! Good selection of pastas and sauces you cant find every day. Love the hard salami!!!! Check times open before coming.
Just walking through the old creaky doors will pique your interest. The old school charm of an Italian bakery and the wafting smells of fresh baked bread. Cant forget the awesome deli and sandwiches. If you are looking to cook some pasta with brands from Italy and other great treasures, then you need to stop here. This place has been in business since 1918!
This place is an institution. Our family has been coming here for years for custom sandwiches, meats, cheeses, bread and ravioli. We come every time we are in Stockton and sometimes we make the drive from Modesto just for a sandwich! They have a great selection of Italian grocery items that you cant find in conventional stores. A stroll through Genova brings me back to my childhood and all the favorites my Nonnie had on hand.
From sandwiches, pasta, biscotti & more. Genovas is old world Italian & is still thriving.
This wonderful little shop is still open and with all the same great smells. This is truly a step back in time. Used to come here with my nana after school to get a loaf of bread (on the days my mom was making spaghetti). So much has changed in Stockton but Genova Bakery is still the same.
Just walk through this old fashioned neighborhood bakery doors and you can bring back your childhood memories of grandma cooking up something great in the kitchen. Fresh baked daily various breads. Awesome deli, reasonably priced.I
Best place for great sandwiches and groceries!!😁😁😁😁😁
The best sandwiches in Stockton. No one compares to there high quality. Everything else is good the foccacia bread and desserts.
Ive been eating here since I was a kid. It is always the best deli sandwich around. The choices in meats, cheeses and breads is amazing. Friendly and so many Italian foods to browse while waiting. I just had a 2 meat on Dutch Crunch. Pastrami, smoked turkey and Teleme cheese. Teleme is so special I took some with me.
This Bakery is A hidden gem of Stockton. Being born in SF I can remember the smell and taste of fresh sour dough in the air and Genova takes me back to those memories. Great people, Great Bakery and Great Food!
Number one place to go 2 for sandwiches in all Stockton
This is the best sandwich spot in Stockton, however it has even more to offer than sandwiches. Genova has been in business for over 100 years now and delivers its fresh bread to businesses all over the area.If you go into their little Italian deli you’ll be greeted with the smell of fresh bread and plenty of choices for your next Italian meal. From pastas and polenta to sauces, cookies and olives they have it all.I come here for the sandwiches though and the combo is where it’s at. Choose your meats, bread, cheese and condiments and get ready for a great Italian sandwich. They are generous with the toppings and the bread is incredible. My favorite is the hot salami and hot coppa on ciabatta with havarti, mustard, lettuce, tomato and Bruno peppers. A pro move is to add oil and vinegar in next to the condiments for extra great flavor. I usually eat my sandwich over two meals because it’s so loaded.It is a small store and gets very busy during lunch time, no matter when you go in be ready to wait a bit. If you’re getting a sandwich head to the right where the deli counter is and either get in line or grab one of their sandwich order sheets and start filling it out, if it’s not too busy they’ll fill it out for you. If you don’t want to deal with the lines you can call ahead and it saves some time.Amazing sandwiches!
Great customer service. Sandwhiches are pilled high with meat and your favorite toppings. Their Buffalo cheese is sooo good and packed with heat, yummm. Im definitely a regular.
Classic hidden gem of Stockton. The French Bread is amazing.
My parents been coming here since i was young. Now our dad has passed. Now me and my daughter come to get your great sandwiches. Thank you so much for your friendly atmosphere and great service😄
You just cant beat Genovas sandwiches!They have some great imported sauces.Staff are very friendly too!!
Walked into Genova, immediately you sense everything original nothing modern, just simply beautiful how it was founded with wooden floor... I’m Deaf and the staff are fabulous making orders. The deli is all freshly delicious!
Love it, love it, love it! We bought sandwiches and they were delicious. The staff was very gracious and kind. I will go back.
SalamiCheeseBreadPasta with pestoThe best snack foods ever!
This is the best place to get bread and a sandwich oh my goodness this place I cant even tell you or explain to you how delicious also I want to say that the employees there love their job and are very nice each time I go there
Great customer service friendly family-oriented staff, great sandwiches and super fresh bread.
This is a review of the bread Genova sells in the markets around Stockton. Theyve taken to wrapping their bread in plastic before putting it in the paper bag. It takes all of the crisp out of the bread. Spongy soft ciabatta bread. Yuk! Dont buy Genova bread anymore as a result.
I love the bread and sandwiches. Ladies are really friendly and nice.
Love the fresh made sandwiches!
Always fresh baked bread. Love the sandwiches they make. And I cannot leave without my almond biscotti. Yummie😋
Love Love LOVE Genova! The deli & bread is second to none. They have tons of Italian cookies, candies, olive oil etc.
Great place as always. Pretty much the best thing about Stockton. Everyone who has ever been here that moves away with out a doubt misses it and will Vist it when they can. Out of state people have asked for it to be shipped to them.
Like stepping back in time, fresh smell of baked bread and hint sugar in the air from the fabulous sweets local and imported. Best faccacia bread for sandwiches and pasta
My dad loves coming here. idk y. but the market is cool. has a lot of Italian heritage. i always get a sandwich here. kinda tricky to eat cause everything slips out lol
Always great. People are always friendly. Pricing is very reasonable. You should always get a sandwich. I recommend it on a Chibatta roll. All their bread is fresh and soft and tasty.
Best freshly baked delicious breads around. If you have eaten at any of the better sandwich shops in stockton or lodi, youve likely had their bread. They also have an Italian deli which is pretty good.
Best deli sandwiches in the area all on fresh baked breads!
Food is amazing. Very busy but well worth the wait
It has been almost 20 years since I have walked into this place I want around 2 weeks ago and its exactly the same friendly always stocked always clean I just want to thank you for always providing the best service in the best bakery for my father and mother everytime I visit California I love the bread my parents have at their home thank you guys for still being there for my parents even though I no longer live in the area.. I will have to find my own Genova bakery in Portland Oregon...
Best sandwich in town!
Great sandwiches and fast friendly service. Best bread around these parts.
A true staple in our community. We have been doing business with them since we opened our restaurant! Would recommend hands-down
My baby loves to go there, he loves ham and sandwiches.
Still great tasting sandwiches, just need a bit more space in the store, too compacted.
The best sandwiches service sides you could ever imagine and they except EBT (EAT. BETTER. TONIGHT.) AND TRUST ME WHEN I SAY ITS WORTH EVERY PENNY ENJOY

Been going to this place for 50 years, the best kept secret of Stockton,the best thickest,meat sandwich you can get anywhere,even better than the sandwich shop in Modesto,and thats pretty darn good also
I really do appreciate the customer service at the the ladies bring to the store. Theyre very outgoing. And have such a great. Sense of humor.. keep doing what you doing ladies
Everytime I am back in Stockton my bf and I stop by for a sandwhich. I lived a block away from the Bakery my whole Childhood. I am always happy to help support the local mom and pop shop. This is definitely a place to stop by in Stockton.
You dont know Stockton if you havent visited Genova bakery and tried their fresh focaccia, baguettes, and the deli is off the hook...
Great french bread salami and swiss cheese. Very friendly, family owned bakery and deli. They also sell freshly made deli sandwiches.
Great Italian bakery and store. Huge selection of beans and lentils. Go to for pasta and flour. What a find.
What can i say love the place have been shopping there 4 ever , people comes from other states 2 buy their bread (baked there ) fresh sandwitches 2 go meat sliced in front of u. All great place
Best sandwich shop in town. Fantastic bread.
They have good sandwiches I like the roast beef with chips and a mini cheesecake.
Been coming here since I was a kid for their sandwiches and bread. They pack alot of meat and cheese in their sandwiches and they are cheaper than other sandwich shops. The reason I still come back to this day. The teleme cheese is the best.
My favorite deli in the world. Milk bread is amazing. Prosciutto sandwhich for under 8 bucks. Crazy good.
Place was packed! Even so, the ladies behind the counter were friendly.Best sandwiches in town, fair prices and a step back in time inside.
Friendly ,neighborhood family owned grocery ,Small, welcoming green wooden screen doors , old world authenticityMy friends father worked here feeding the wood ovens after relocating from a region near lucca years,ago
Excellent place with even more amazing sandwiches (A + customer service very patients) the service is great the food is more then delicious absolutely I will be there again....
Amazing traditional panettone (candied cherries, candied citron, raisins and pine nuts) is available during the holidays. Great selection of imported items, deli meats and cheeses along with their fantastic bread. They have both the dried italian porcini mushrooms and the more budget friendly dried south american mushrooms available by the ounce.

2022-03-23Awesome, legendary bakery and deli in Stockton! An outstanding place to pick up some fresh bread or nice delicious baked treats. Small, but very welcoming with incredibly knowledgeable staff. Bread is fresh and baked daily. The whole family loves visiting this location when we get a chance. Highly recommend a trip any day of the week!

2022-04-19Have been enjoying Genova products most of my life. Always need to have the Cajun turkey sandwich. I really recommend it. Many Italian products such as sauces and dipping oils. It offers a lot of options. Hopefully well be able to enjoy it for a long time.

2022-06-08Childhood favorite now shared with Hubby. I used to visit as child and now I’m back with company and the food is even better than I remember. We can’t pass by without getting a bomb sandwich, deli salad and some goodies from the pantry. Great service, best in class bread and great everything in between. Once you visit you’ll know why this spot is a fan favorite and my rave.
