The Genova’s To Go Legacy

A Family Tradition of Flavor. Discover Our Story.  Not Just Pizza — A Way of Life


Since 1976, when a family of skilled bakers from Carini, Sicily, opened their first Italian restaurant in Hanover, Pennsylvania, Genova’s To Go has been more than just a place to eat — it’s been a part of family traditions and cherished memories. Now led by the third generation, we honor our heritage by staying true to the quality and care that our family name represents. Every dish carries the love and legacy passed down through the years, bringing the authentic taste of Italy to every table and making each visit feel like coming home.
