50 Best Pizza Restaurants in Cleveland

“The best pizza. In a long time“

“Absolutely our favorite pizza spot in the area period.
I’ve been going to them since they opened. Their Hot Honey pepperoni pizza is the best! I’ve only had one mix up since going there, and they completely made me a new pizza. Great job and great customer service! We’re lucky to have a small business like you guys in the area!“

“The Best Pizza This side of NYC!!!“

“The pizza was delicious, good price, super nice guy“

“You’ve seen the Facebook reviews! You’ve heard the buzz the rumors! You’ve talked to people who have tried and raved!! Get off your butt and get in line!
Absolutely amazing pizza done with passion, intent and true skill that only comes from a master of their craft. Upon entering the small, clean and purposeful shop the aroma of fresh ingredients and flour dusted surfaces will have you under its spell. It’s obvious the place means business. Options for pizza toppings are not as limited as the hours but after the first bite you will be a believer. Conversations with the owner/Pizzolo while we waited and preformed his dough magic transported us right to the city of Naples. His knowledge and stories made our 15 minute wait seem like an only a few seconds. Not being able to decide we ended up getting two pies and we’re glad we did! Crisp thin crusts with those dark “leopard spots”, perfectly balanced sauce and low moisture cheese ratio with just the right amount of toppings including basil picked fresh from the plant. This type of pizza might not be for everyone but it’s definitely a contender for Cleveland’s best. Very demure, very mindful.

“10 out of 10 pizza, recommend NYC style“

“We ordered from Dante's today for the first time and let me tell you The pizza was perfect. And the Buffalo wings, barbecue wings OMG Absolutely absolutely amazing ...We will be ordering again to try other items thank you 😍“

“I really like the atmosphere at cent’s pizza, the decor is really cool and minimalist which I love although it would be great if the space was a bit bigger. It gets really packed for dinner and the waiting space is quite limited and when you sit down the tables are quite close to each other which I don’t particularly enjoy too much. Despite that, the food is great! Their pizzas are delicious and very tasty although I think they could potentially offer the option to have two flavors in one pizza like many other places do (half and half) so that you can try more variety :)
Great quality and would definitely recommend!“

“Best pizza in Cleveland, and one of the few that sells by the slice.“

“My mom used to order from here when I was growing up. I have always been in love with this place! Especially the chicken gyros! Haven’t been in Ohio for about 5 years, my family and I decided to satisfy our cravings and I’m so glad we did! I love seeing Pizza Joes and Deli still holding on strong! Staff is great! Food is great! Super clean and cute inside as well!“

“I had a great experience here. Staff was very friendly and outgoing. Me and my family first time having their pizza. We live two hours away in Columbus and came up to Cleveland for a little road trip for my wife birthday.

Although my wife likes her pepperoni a little bit more crispy, the pizza was amazing. We did half cheese and pepperoni since I don’t eat pork. The pizza was very flavorful and the Cajun dry rub wings were very delicious to, and it had my taste buds rushing in.

The guy there was very kind to my 21 month old daughter as he gave her a cookie and my she enjoyed that. This is the type of customer more restaurant need to take lessons from because unfortunately other mom and pop restaurants I had bad experiences and had to write bad reviews based upon the service I receive. Plan to come back whenever I am up to Cleveland Ohio.“

“Myself and family tried the pizza and wings for the first time very delicious! highly recommend and the staff are friendly and helpful!“

“Great pizza and desserts!“

“Went there tonight and had the best pizza I’ve had in years!“

“I love everything about this place been eating their pizza for almost 40 years now and think they are the best overall pizza place probably in Ohio“

“10 out of 10 pizza, recommend NYC style“

“Best pizza we have had in a LONG time! We had the pepperoni and cheese and the garlic bread. Sooooo delicious!! Will definitely be ordering here again!!“

“1st timer here.In town for my son's College visit to John Carroll today..Browns game tomorrow.Good Za...Great flavor..Pleasant Delivery Driver .Peak time on a Saturday Night.Arrived hot in about 45 min..Nice work guys n gals from a Buckeye Lake,Ohio Restaurant Kitchen Mgr.“

“This is one of two places in the county that we will buy from. I grew up in NY and am a self proclaimed pizza snob. You can’t beat a Capri pie. It’s the closest to NY style pizza in NEO.“

“Parking: Very nice parking lot also free i always find a parking spot.

Kid-friendliness: They are very friendly with kids very nice down to heart people. Best pizza in all of Cleveland I drove here all the way from Pittsburgh just to try it and i am very satisfied“

“Great service great pizza and amazing salad. Only thing I would change is for the salad they just gave us bagged newmans own dressing. A homemade itialian dressing would have made this a 10 out of 10 5 star review. Hopefully they consider a from scratch dressing in the future.“

“The pizza was hot and fresh, the wings were nice and crispy and the fried dough was the perfect tasty treat to complete the meal“

“The owner at Papa Nick's went above and beyond for hospitality, going as far as hunting down a high chair for our baby to use. The food was fantastic and satisfying, we will be eating here any time we find ourselves in the Cleveland area.“

“Came here from the East side to surprise my husband . He loves Italian Deli. Tripi did not disappoint. Friendly service as soon as we walked in, great food and a cute dinning area. We had the Papa Tony, Pasta dinner with meatballs and the Wedding soup. All delicious! Our favorite was the Papa Tony.“

“Fantastic place! Highly recommended!“

“We came into town for 3 nights for the Astros games, and spent all 3 days sitting at the bar eating pizza and talking to the owner and employees. Awesome people, pizza and drinks! Will definitely be back and would recommend them to anyone that comes to Cleveland!“

“Everything was absolutely delicious!!!!“

“Holy cow so good ? ?
Got a thin crust pepperoni pizza with extra cheese and a BBQ chicken pizza with veggies and I am not disappointed! Will definitely make this a regular cause baaabaaay it's the best pizza I have had so far since being in ohio. The delivery guy was really nice and delivered with care. Thanks you guys for a great dinner.“

“We ordered through Door Dash and we weren't disappointed. When I took the box from the dasher, this pizza had some weight to it. Which told me it was going to be fantastic, and it was. The dough, the sauce, and the cheese, just amazing. I will say, it is the 1st pizza to come with 2 packets of pure honey. I looked it up, and I guess it's a thing now. From what I read though, it's mostly "hot honey". Some use regular too. Chef's kiss, Edison Pizza!! Keep the good stuff coming.“

“I had just gotten into Cleveland at 10 at night and was famished. We stopped and got us a pie. Omg I'm in love. Fabio is the best!! While we waited, he gave us 2 meatballs and let me tell you, they just melt in your mouth they are that good!! Recommended 200%“

“awesome pizza always fast & delicious“

“amazing food! everyone in our party of 10 loved everything we ordered from pizza to soups to salads to chicken parm!“

“The girl that helped us was super friendly and patient because it was our very first time visiting. The coffee, food, cocktail, & music was all a vibe! Loved it ! 10/10“

“I have ordered here twice. The food is amazing.

My only thing is I ordered for a delivery 15 miles out and the order placed. I waited an hour and a half because its football Sunday and i wanted to be considerate.

I called to check on my delivery status and they told me they dont deliver that far. I asked why no one called me and he proceeds to tell me he thought someone called me and then argued about a refund and preparing my food that I would now have to go pick up.

The guy at the register had absolutely no energy. I know its a hit pizza joint but maybe he should drink water and step out for some air instead of scrolling on his phone when a customer is at the register.“

“Pizza was ok nothing that made me say oooh delicious sauce was flavorless (took a bite with no pepperoni), pepperoni over powering that couldn't even taste the sausage and greasy. The mozzarella too expensive and cold, I live 2min away if that so it wasn't the drive time.“

“The cheese pizza was good for the price of only $12.01 for a extra large pizza and it had plenty of cheese on it but if you like lots of sauce then I would order it with extra sauce on it but anyway this pizza place has got my approval and trust me I am a pizza person and if the pizza was bad I would tell you the truth but this place for the money you can't beat it and the staff working there are really nice people“

“Thanks to my husband discovering this gem of a pizza joint I can’t help but want their delicious food about once a week. I love their BBQ chicken pizza and garlic Parmesan wings, but everything else we’ve tried has been just as delicious! Double edged sword bc I found the best place around, but I’m wanting to eat it all the time. Must try!!“

“I have been going here since I was 12 with my grandfather! The best pizza in the land, hands down. I love the fact that it's soulful brothers doing all the cooking! I did notice the new floor and pop machine in the place! I think the parking lot needs more lighting. The location is a little rough ladies please go earlier in the day for safety.“

“We had our daughter’s graduation party on 5/11/24. They made our experience wonderful for our party of 15. The food, beer and drinks were great! The table by the wall was perfect for our food to be set up and at 4:30, we could chat and it wasn’t noisy at all. Thank you to your staff for allowing is to create a beautiful memory!“

“Ordered from Middleburg. Ribs, fries and Beans were awesome! The Pizza was a little under cooked. Nothing that bothers me, but some of the Pickler eaters in the house took issue with that. Still thought the Pizza was great, nothing that can't be fixed when it's reheated later. I would reccomend ordering well done Pizza. Everything was fantastic though and I'll definitely be back“

“I ordered the meatbal pizza with jalapeños. Wonderful crust and very flavorful.“

“My Grandmother was 100% Italian. I can recognize authentic Italian, & Americanized trash. & I am a die hard pizza connisuer. This is the BEST pizza. Perfect crust, you can tell dough used is fresh. Sauce is amazing, white or red. Absolutely superb. Thank you for renewing my faith in the hospitality industry. I just moved back this area, & finally found my pizza joint. Truly Bella.

Parking: Front or side of building.This location is in cornerof brick business building.

Kid-friendliness: Staff was very kind, & friendly to my child when I brought in to pay.“

“Ordered food tonight again from Carmino's. The phone lines weren't letting us get through so we drove up and placed our order. They didn't disappoint. The food and service was great. 👍🍕🍟🍝🥗🥖😋 #Delicious *Just recommend updating the prices online and on the website from what you actually charge.“

“Found this place when I searched for best places to eat in Cleveland while we were on vacation and this one had good reviews and realistic prices so we decided to try it out and we are so glad we did! It was a warm and inviting atmosphere for being mostly a bar with extra seating. You felt like you were at home and all the staff treated you like you were family or a good friend and they looked happy to be there even though it got a bit busy when we had gotten there. Service was excellent, food was delicious, my husband got the ribs and he was in love. I tried the bbq sauce as I'm really picky about bbq sauces and it was delicious! The skull shaped cornbread was so good. I had a turkey club sandwich with the chips and the French onion dip is a must have. Great experience, we will definitely be back next time we are up in Cleveland!“

“the gentleman with a beard working today at 4:30 was so kind and helpful, i can’t explain how much his kindness to my daughter and i meant to us both. thank you so much!!!! :) pizza was delicious as always too. thank you thank you thank you.“

“First time ordering pizza, NOT disappointed!! Delivery was spot on, friendly and quick. Pizza was hot, crust, sauce and toppings (pepperoni and sausage) was delicious. Highly recommend trying, as I mentioned you won't be disappointed ☺️❤️❤️“

“I live really close to this Papa John’s location every single time I been to this location no matter what time of the day the food is always great and the staff are amazing! They always hook me up with plates and napkins. I’ve been to other locations and the service doesn’t come close. The only thing about this location is the parking lot is small. If you’re in the mood for a papa John’s pizza this location on 25th st and Clark is the spot to go. 🍕🍕“

“Food and service were excellent. I recommend.“

“I absolutely love their pizza. The owner and his wife are so nice. They are my favorite lunch spot in Tower City! I would give them 100 stars if I could!“

“We got the meatloaf, cabbage w/ kielbasa, macaroni and cheese, & cornbread muffin. Listen…

I don’t get on here to speak up about very many places; a place has really, REALLY gotta impress me for that. That dinner was absolutely phenomenal. Everything was on point and seasoned just perfectly. Y’all put y’all foot in that!! First time customer and I will be back soon all the way from Painesville.“
