Generoso's Bakery Cafe & Pizzeria

Bakery, cafe and pizzeria — one counter on 5th Avenue

Generoso's is the kind of family-owned Italian-American shop Brooklyn used to be full of: bread and pastries behind the glass, pizza coming out by the slice, and coffee at the counter — all under one roof in Sunset Park.

Grab a seeded Italian loaf and a lobster tail on the same stop as your slice, or call ahead and have it waiting.

From the ovens, all day

The bakery case runs from Italian classics — cannoli, lobster tails with cream, black and white cookies — to fresh-baked seeded Italian bread. The pizza side pulls regular, Sicilian and Neapolitan slices. The cafe pours fresh-ground coffee to go with either.
