First time going to Genova bakery. But it definitely won't be the last. The sandwiches that we ordered were delicious & were worth the price that we paid. I had my sandwiched on the milk bread roll & my husband had his on the sliced milk bread. Both the roll & the sliced bread were so go. I wish that we would have bought some bread to take home with us. We will definitely be going back & ordering sandwiches but not forgetting to get some bread to take home. The customer service was great. It was better than I was expecting for such a busy backery / deli. We were greeted the moment we walked in. & Helped with recommendations of what to try out for our first time visit in making our choices for our sandwiches. We were so surprised to find this hidden gem that has been around for 106 yrs in a residential area.
The sandwiches are just okay, they really don't have that many add-ons. The meat choices is where the bread-and-butter is for the store. It's a very small place so it gets packed really quickly. If you want a really good sandwich similar to Geneva then try O'Brien's market, same concept but more toppings.
Historic. This place is as old as my Grandma, I've been coming here 40+ years to get one of the best sandwiches in Stockton. A small location, with shelfs full of nice items, handmade breads/pastas, jelly, wine, and other good stuff. The location is as clean as an old building can be. The staff is friendly, and the sandwiches are made to order. Grab a Genova Sandwich Ticket, and fill it out. Hand it over and have your sandwich made in front of you. They have a great selection of meats, including some premium cuts like salami, coppa, and prosciutto. Grab chips and a drink and make it a meal. The staff is always friendly and helpful.
When you step into the Deli you are transformed into the past to an old Italian Deli that makes their own bread and the best Sandwiches in town. The smell of the place is intoxicating from meats and the onions and everything else that is put into the sandwich. Try it and I promise you won't regret it.
I go to Genova Bakery at least once or twice a week. I Enjoy their sandwiches 🥪. They have fast customer service, and always ask the customer's if they have been helped etc. Depending on what time of time you arrive, parking can be hard to find. I recommend calling ahead to place an order.
