Business Summary  what's this?
For two star Italian, try Geraci's Restaurant in University Heights. It's known for its pizza. Upon entering the restaurant, you'll find a family atmosphere. This restaurant is very affordable. This place is good for groups.
3.0 of 5 stars.
People in the heights go freaking crazy for this place. I have to say, I never really understood the draw. The food is good. The service is usually okay (I don't blame the wait staff...this place is...

Geraci's probably has the best pizza on the East Side, but their owner's attitudes towards customers & staff are inexcusable. Locals know it but most tolerate it. Running the very noisy cheese grinder at lunch so impossible have a conversation. Yelling at staff in front or patrons. Refusing to say hello to 20 year customers as they walk in the door. Rude, rude, rude.

I have been going to Geraci's for years and have not found a better pizza- not in NY, not in Chicago. The pizza is reliable, always fantastic with fresh toppings. The fried ravioli's are also a favorite.
