Angry Gene’s Pizza is a quick-service pizza shop built around a focused menu of large pizzas, including specialty combinations like Meat Explosion, Hot Hawaiian, and Supreme, plus sides such as chicken wings, garlic breadsticks, and dipping sauces.

The concept began as Pizza Now, started by Gene Singer in West Chicago in 2006. After the Pizza Now name was already trademarked in other states, the family rebranded as Angry Gene’s Pizza as a tribute to Gene. His sons Stephen Singer, Andrew Singer, and Daniel Singer have been involved in day-to-day operations and now lead the franchising effort.
