This place is awesome! I've been coming here for decades. Great bread, great meat, great cheese. It's a stockton classic.
Anthony Gragg
Awesome, 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!

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

Have 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 we'll be able to enjoy it for a long time.

I don't think you can get a better sandwich anywhere. The bread is heaven sent. Deli meats. Fresh veggies and awesome staff. Give them a try , only if you want to be hooked. .

The freshest bread every... Highly recommend getting their focaccia and build your sandwich. Have been loyal customer since the 80s the staff there is very sweet. Thanks for being a staple in our community.

Childhood 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.
Theobastian Goodlove
If you want an amazing sandwich please go here! Also if your looking for authentic hard to find pastas, deli foods, and wine, check it out asap. I’ve never had a bad visit here.

Where do I start? Sandwiches? Amazing, excellent and wholesome. Service? lovely, warm and patient. Grocery department? Inspired, fun and sprinkles of 209 with Italian flair. I absolutely love this spot. Fantastic. Thank you for the delicious lunch. AND made a dynamo dinner from the grocery section 10/10 Run,. Don't walk.

Best place to get sandwiches. I recently came back. This was my mom's 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.

My first time there and I was surprised. My father and grandfather have been going there since the 60s. You would never expect such a wonderful place would be located where it is. Im going to continue the tradition. Best bakery out there💯 I'm a huge sandwich fan, so look no further if your looking for the best🎉🎉

Ordered a roast beef sandwich on a dutch crunch roll. It was fine, nothing mind-blowing. This place is as much a specialty store as a bakery - lots of interesting snacks and Italian grocery items to browse through, though the space was so tight and crowded that it was tough to really get a good look. The service was great, they were very friendly and efficient. Not in a great neighbourhood and don't expect a place to sit and eat if you buy a sandwich here. There's no seating inside and you wouldn't want to eat outside if they had tables for it.
Alicia Schneider
Very good sandwiches!!! We order from them all the time,I don't really like going to subway that much but I love coming here, it's my favorite place, it's a staple in Stockton 😋 a pillar of the city if you will!!! I grew up on these sandwiches and hopefully my kids will also!!! Yummy 😊😋💯

Great employee and service. Best bread I've had in a long while. Old school. Great job, keep it up !
Tammy Wine
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, they're 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.
Martin Pacheco
Excellent service and sandwiches. They have other things to enjoy. Cookies,frozen pasta and fresh and delicious bread.
Mintie Edadiz
I really do appreciate the customer service at the the ladies bring to the store. They're very outgoing. And have such a great. Sense of humor.. keep doing what you doing ladies
Cindy Mujica
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. I've 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.

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!!!

Ever since my friends and I first visited Genova last year, we've been hooked! We go for the sandwiches but the fresh bread is also amazing! There's 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.

This is THE BEST sandwich spot of all time. I love the hustley vibe, great service and delishhh sandwich. They have a nice selection of Italian grocery items and homemade biscotti you buy out of a wooden box-this place is like stepping back in time ❤️ Highly recommend, stop by-you won't be sorry.
Alan Rowe
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....

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...

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.
Kim Christensen
Sorry I dont have a picture I ate that sandwich super fast. Roast beef, sharp cheddar on wheat. Don't 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.

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!
Cathy Waddy
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!!!
Ron Paul
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.

Stephany & Kennedy
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.

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.

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.
T Rodriguez
This place makes such incredible sandwiches, that even my coworkers who live out of town love coming here! I'ma huge fan of their bread, there's just no eating spaghetti in my house without it. It's 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 Angelina's 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.
Jake Norris
Locals only secret spot...🥪🥖 Old world quality and prices. Unpretentious bakery, deli, and Italian market. Really really good sandwiches for really really good prices. If my sandwich wasn't so big I'd have ordered another!
Lydia Juarez
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.
Nicholas

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!
Raymond Henson eXp
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.
lee gilford

Harry Sache
Just great sandwiches, potato salad and service. Order ahead or be prepared to wait.. they are that tasty and every one custom made, yum
Michael Gonzales
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. It's 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.
