50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Gates Mills

“Exceptional dining experience in Gates Mills. Chef Richie’s rack of lamb and my husband’s pork chop were delicious. They accommodated my wheat allergy with care. Ample gluten free options on the menu. The potato skin appetizer was delightful, and the dessert special was decadently divine. From the warm reservation call with the owner to Claudia’s impeccable service, this restaurant stands out as one of the best in Cleveland and beyond. Can’t wait to return!“

“It was okay, just not great. When she cut my slice out, I lose quite a bit of the pizza. The taste was good, but the sausage wasn't great. I like a hearty chunky sausage recipe, this was like crumbly school cafeteria stuff, which does bring back find memories, but I expected more.“

“Delicious and made with quality ingredients. If you like a crispier thin crust, this is your spot. We loved the flavor in the aged mozzarella. Far superior to most cheeses used at other places. Pizza sauce bases were all excellent- red, white, and vodka. We loved their salad too with locally grown green leaf lettuce and the homemade dressings. We mixed the creamy Gorgonzola with the vinaigrette- so good. Loved my grapefruit margarita- they have a full bar and lounge on one side that is 21 and over but will serve to the other family friendly side. The family friendly side is super casual- order at the counter, get your own plates and utensils and service is pretty quick. Large screen televisions to watch a game. We will be back.“

“I picked up a Biga Big Pepperoni this evening. This is one loaded pepperoni pizza. I think they use aged pepperoni that gets crunchy around the edges. So good! The cheese is the best around and highly recommended. The drive through girl was very pleasant and I did not have to wait. The only downside was that the pizza was really greasy on the bottom for some reason this time. Great pie and great service.“

“Best Sandwich's ever! I would eat here every week if I could There were 5 of us that stopped for lunch I ordered the Italian Stallion The mix of homemade meatballs and sausage peppers opinion and cheese was better than any I've ever had I tried my wife's Chicken Frocaccia sandwich Also amazing You don't want to pass by Kirtland without stopping!“

“A hidden gem! I have lived in the area for about 6 years and have just now sat down for a meal at Mama Catena Vino é Cucina! What a shame that is because this family owned restaurant is absolutely amazing in every way. The interior is very nice and cozy. The staff are very accommodating and pleasant, providing you with a great experience from beginning to end! We got lucky and came in on a Thursday where they host a man who plays an accordion. I truthfully felt like I was in Italy! This restaurant is definitely a go-to! Could not recommend enough if you want a nice Italian dinner! Go support the locals!“

“First time here. Imagine, the first time you had ice cream as a little kid. Remember that great taste? That was my experience tasting ETalian food. Awe, and they have the best view in all Chagrin Falls. What an experience. You have to come and check them out. The staff is real friendly also?“

“As always, a wonderful experience. Manon was a top-rate server. Hubs had the lobster/shrimp soup and raved about it. He also loved his pork chops; thick and perfectly cooked. The tomato bisque soup comes with grilled cheese croutons; very imaginative and delicious! We saw lots of people leaving with pizzas; will have to try one the next time we're here. Love the Cupcake of the Day.We have come here during standard dinner hours and have not been able to find a parking spot. That's the price we pay for enjoying a very popular restaurant. We have learned to come during other times.“

“I don’t eat pork so finding a pizza place with topping options for me can be difficult. A random search led me to Best Pizza and I am so glad! I haven’t had a meat lovers pizza in YEARS but have had two in two weeks bc this pizza was so good! They’re a few miles from my house, always fast and friendly, and the food is top tier.Dietary restrictions: Halal menu!“

“Atmosphere? It’s a gas station but with a very nice convenient store and a FANTASTIC kitchen!Wanted a Smash Burger but they were out. ? But… I had a Reuben and it was delicious! Corned beef, sauerkraut, cheese, sauce and grilled to perfection!We also ordered an Italian Sub - also delicious! Fries were crispy and fresh. Everyone agreed the onion rings were out of this world!Truly a hidden gem in Novelty!“

“I was sketch about trying this place.But.I did it.And.The wings, are the biggest breaded wings I’ve had in over 10 years. DO NOT STOP MAKING BIG WINGS PLEASE?! Most places do this. Then start to skimp and give you smaller wings over time.Updated to 5 star, after a second, great experience here.Your wings rock. DO NOT CHANGE ANY PART OF THAT!!!! Consistency is key.The pizza was also really friggin good.I was shocked! Impressed. And satisfied.Thank you for a good lunch“

“One of the best kept secrets on Chagrin Boulevard and a short distance from the busy area where all the restaurants are located. The place is nicely laid out and decorated, with a bar, two dining rooms, a fireplace, and big tables that can accommodate large parties with ease. Plenty of choices on the menu, all Italian (obviously), with excellent service and relatively high prices.Vegetarian options: Veggie Pizza, Salads, and Pasta Dishes with No Meat.Parking: Big parking lot by the building where the restaurant is located.“

“A newer staple to the Chagrin Valley area.We have been here many times since it has opened. The pizza is the best in the area. Slightly on the expensive side but worth it.Next to the takeout spot they have a little bar and eating area. No kids allowed. I guess I get it. Service has always been friendly and prompt.Decent enough beer/wine/booze selection but the real star is the pies!!“

“Had the fettuccine alfredo....the best I ever had. The portion was huge, so was the salad.I've eaten at many Italian restaurants, to me, the best. Great atmosphere too. I can't wait to go again! ?Kid-friendliness: The waitress was awesome. At the end of dinner the owner introduced himself. I liked that a lot. Made you feel like family.“

“"Enchanting ambience, impeccable service, and delectable dishes define my experience at Pizza Express 1. From the first bite of their perfectly crisp yet chewy pizza crust to the last spoonful of homemade tiramisu, every moment was a delight. A must-visit for any pizza aficionado seeking a memorable dining experience."“

“We liked the pizza we ended up with but I had to drive back twice for it. I ordered a margherita pizza (tomatoes, basil, mozzarella) for pick up and they put a garlic white sauce on it. Why would they do that? I can't eat garlic, which is why I order a margherita pizza. If they are going to add garlic sauce to a basic pizza, which by definition that I've found has no garlic sauce, they should inform customers in advance. That said, the pizza we finally got, after driving back twice, was good. Not sure I will return however. Lots of good pizza places that know how to make a margherita pizza.“

“It was my first time dining at Giuseppe's. I was not disappointed. They served a pizza slice with my favorite toppings of just black olives and pepperoncini. The pizza crust was savory and crisp. The salad was very refreshing, and the Limoncello was so delicious! I finally found a place with everything I love about pizza at Giuseppe's!It is easy to comment on the food first. It is afterall unforgettable in my mind. However, the atmosphere and customer service made the experience of dining at Giuseppe's worth 5 stars in every category Google will allow me to rate.“

“I had looked up this place because I wanted to go somewhere nice, and I can say that it was great. There was live trivia going on which was pretty cool and we thought that the pizza sizes were going to be small, but to our surprise, they were actually pretty big. So, we were able to take some home. Our waiter, I think his name was Pat, was absolutely great. 10 out of 10, would recommend.“

“Italian food at its best! Long surviving family owned restaurant with generous portions of tasty well prepared offerings. Any chicken dish is superb…piccata, Marsala, parmigiana, genovese…ummm. Outstanding thin crusted gluten free pizza made spectacular with mozzarella cheese (mushroom & sausage added). Incredible steak salad. Wonderful Merlot house wine. Tasty bread rolls. Fabulous Italian wedding soup. Wonderful servers and staff. And earn reward points to apply to a future meal. And the take-out Family Packs are a fantastic price with an abundance of food. We love this place, truly love it!“

“Food was amazing met all my expectations! New management has definitely made a big difference store was clean and organized while the staff was presentable and friendly. Great job papa John’s. I will be ordering lunch from here every week!“

“This neighborhood treasure has been a wonderful place to get pizza. Over the years, I have moved from a tomato-based to a white sauce base, and the pizza is still delicious. Service is always on point; as a matter of fact, I think they know some of the regular customers as well, to me, that's a good feel. It only has takeout service, but every time I come, it feels like a Homey place.“

“We love the friendly atmosphere of Pranzo. We highly recommend this restaurant it brings Italy to Willoughby with excellent wine selections to pair with your meal. If you are visiting Willoughby it's a must visit for a great Italian meal ?“

“The best pizza in this area!! We tried many pizzas in different restaurants but my boyfriend and I agreed that Abo's pizza was the best. Their crust/dough was so good and had an excellent flavor. It was relatively thin but could hold the toppings. We had one of their specialty pizzas, Mediterranean, together with a Caesar salad. Large pizza was more than enough to share for two people. Service was good, prices were reasonable but we thought $10 for a piece of cheese cake was a bit steep. Anyways, we will go back there for sure.Update:We went back & ordered Calamari, Margarita Pizza (BEST) , Linguine with Calamari, & Gnocchi. Ordering a bottle of wine for three of us worked perfectly ?“

“We tried this place on a recommendation from a friend. We ordered two pizzas and one of their daily specials, linguine with lobster. I also tried their clam chowder, which was very good, and that's saying something coming from someone who originally came from New England. All three were excellent. We will definitely be working through their menu over the next year.“

“Overall, the only reason why this is 4 stars is due to them not accepting Debit or Credit cards. The do have an ATM 2.00 surcharge bringing the bakers dozen of donuts to 18.00 total charge! Isn’t a bad deal, just a bummer!Donuts were delicious, had many different font options!“

“This was my 1st time here. First Watch was super busy, so we were in luck seeing this next door without a wait. We were seated right away.We started with an appetizer of meatballs. The meatballs are normal in size. Not like some places that give you ginormous ones. Fine! It's 3 of them, and they come in a small cast iron skillet, swimming in marina sauce, covered in ricotta and some other cheeses, along with several pieces of garlic bread on the side. I'm picky about marina sauce. I don't like it chunky. This 1 was perfect. The right mix of flavor and not chunky. These meatballs were very, very good. I was very impressed. The bread was great, too. You can own my heart with good bread ? ?We both ordered burgers ? If you follow me, you know I like a good burger and a good steak. I got the original cheeseburger with bacon added, and my son got the double stack smash burger. My burger was so thick. I tried my best to eat half. It was delicious ? No complaints ? The burger gods are pleased.The fries were ok. Basic, regular fries ? Not bad, but definitely won't be the reason you return. I'll return because I'm sure there is more I would like to try in the future.“

“When I come here I usually order the boneless chicken with ranch for lunch and eat inside at the one table they have. I love their chicken sooo much and it always comes out smoking hot but not too hot to where it burns my mouth. The ladies who take my order are so friendly and I’ve come in so much that now they know what I want. ? but I did switch it up one time and get one of their pepperoni slices and it was delicious. The wait isn’t long and the table is always clean. Most of the time when I go to grab drinks their cold and there’s plenty of options.Parking: In a plaza so there’s plenty of parking“

“Loved their vegetarian/vegan options! So few places in this area has anything else than burgers or pasta on the menu. We tried the vegan lasagna and the vegan sloppy Joe's and both were amazing and filling! It was a little too loud in there and no light over our table, so it was hard to read the menu. We had to get our phones out to be able to see anything.“

“One of the better Pizza places in Cleveland. Great parking with Handicap access. They also have Fish selections for lent. I am definitely going back for anyone pie soon!Vegetarian options: There were vegetarian selections. Especially with the pizzas.Parking: Lots of parking in the back, and wheelchair win the front.Kid-friendliness: I saw several families with children. I didn’tPay attention as to a child’s selection on the menu, but what kid doesn’t love pizza?Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair access available.“

“I had the chance to pick up a pizza from Angelo's Friday evening. I was very pleased with their pizza The crust is thin and hand tossed I prefer pepperoni and mushrooms with lots of cheese. Their pizza sauce is not too sweet and very flavorful. I'm looking forward to another visit to eat in their dining room to enjoy one of their bougie boozy milkshakes.“

“Ok, this place is awesome. We have gone several times already, trying different things and haven't even gotten to the pizza yet!! Their pasta is delicious, generous portions and they don't skimp on the cheese or the chicken. Sandwiches are a great size, definitely fill you up portion. The fried ravioli are to die for, I could probably eat 3 orders to myself... the calories are really good, the salad was ok.. I was a little disappointed that they don't make their own ranch, or croutons but it was a good size. All in all, this is my n my son's new favorite pizza ? shop!! The sweet tomato sauce is sooooo freaking good, I could eat it on everything ? lol new fav, must try!! Pizza is next on our hit list lolPizza is amazing, must try!!! I love pepperoni and pineapple, or pepperoni and mushroom... green pepper on anything... but their specialty pizzas are where it's at! The wild Midwest is a favorite of mine, and you can't go wrong with the cheeseland!The crew there is small and they work really hard. It's not easy for them to take care of such a high demand for their food but they get up and work 12-15 hour days, 6 days a week to bring us our chicken and pizza. So next time it's a little overdone, or they forget to add extra whatever or leave something out, give um a break... they're just people trying to get by and make a living to feed their families, just like us! Super good people, always makes things right too, when they do mess up. Love this place!Vegetarian options: Mostly salads and veggie subKid-friendliness: Good food, kids love pizza!“

“Our pizza was always good if the right person made it. Other times, the sauce or the crust weren’t so good. Plus before they left our corner, I think they were adding onions or something to the sauce, which we did not welcome. It’s too bad though that they left our area.Parking: Well, they are gone now, so the point is moot.“

“Friendly staff everytime I walk in and the food is always hot, fresh & ready. It's nice to finally have a spot with low prices and quality food. My closest and most frequented pizza shop for sure. I recommend their calzones the most. I do love their cheese bread but it can sometimes be very greasy / oily on top.“

“One of my coworkers mentioned Augies. I did not know of them. The wife and I decided to try them out, we were looking for an early dinner. There were minimum cars in front, we went in, they said they were not opened yet (will be in an hr). A manager overheard... sat us at a table, he took our order and served us. How cool! We had the pizza and garlic bread (with cheese, of course). The food was tremendous, the manager was awesome, we will be back. BTW, we drove by during dinner hours, there were alot of cars out front.“

“The name says it all! I was very impressed with the unique flavors of the Mediterranean pizza. The flavors all went together splendidly. The additional vinegrete dipping sauce was the cherry on top! I can't wait to try another unique specialty pizza! The aspect that led me to this restaurant was the sourdough pizza dough. I had never heard of something like that. As someone who has made home-grown bread with just flour, water, and salt and a little time on the counter, it piqued my interest. I was not disappointed.“

“This is our go to pizza restaurant, and we enjoy supporting this business.Fresh hot pizza and wings!My son has a dairy allergy and they always are happy to assist. Thanks so much for this!We also love their wings, and go with the sweet chili and whiskey barbecue.Highly recommend!Dietary restrictions: They have vegan cheese as an option“

“This is my new fave! I ordered on DoorDash. I had to call to ask for the ice cream flavors for my milkshake. The gentleman that answered was very nice and helpful. They have every flavor of ice cream you can think of! I got Superman. It arrived frozen and was creamy and tasty.Breaded wing songs with garlic Parmesan sauce on the side-so delicious. Perfectly seasoned and fried. Arrived piping hot. 3 flats and 3 drums. Halal meat is just better tasting and quality! The sauce was well balanced. I wish they offered ranch or Bleu cheese as an option to buy.Beef Lasagna- the portion was huge! The noodles were a bit thicker than usual. The sauce was okay. It was well seasoned and had a nice layer of cheese.Cheesy bread-crisp yet fluffy on the inside. Nice amount of cheese. I just wish it had Italian seasoning or parsley in it and an option for marinara on the side.Looking forward to trying more dishes soon.“

“Our first time trying & we ordered take out, everything was amazing!! We ordered a lot to try a bit of everything and I highly recommend the inferno Alfredo pasta, firecracker shrimp, and Ebony & Ivory for dessert. We’re excited to dine in next time.“

“I ordered a large pepperoni and some wings and it was actually pretty good! I've seen manage change at this location a couple times so that's concerning, hence the three stars for service, but otherwise it's been a pretty good experience eating there. It doesn't really have a dining area, but it's otherwise clean and welcoming!“

“For being a hinde gem at the end of a plaza, Severino's is one of the most affordable places to eat, gather, drink and have a good time...The muscles are a high recommendation, eggplant parm served with pasta and homemade sauce with salad and 2 slices for garlic bread, oh my.....enjoy.....“

“Started with the thai cauliflower which was so so good. Not spicy but flavorful and perfectly crispy. Cheese pizza had good quality cheese and a great flavor to the sauce. The Philly sandwich was good but nothing spectacular and had a spicy sauce on it just FYI. A few chewy pieces as well. Service was meh but got the job done. Nice decor. Definitely a bit over priced.“

“I have ordered from this place three times and the food has always been good, hot, freah. The Calzone was flavorful despite me getting it plain. The crust was prefect. I ordered the wedding soup and it was wonderful. I get the loaves of bread and they are fresh, fluffy and great. I don't know what other people order but what I have gotten has been a great meal. This in only a handful of places that serves the Sicilian white pizza they way relatives made it or the Sicilian with the red sauce. Usually places top it with Mozarella and Provolone and it is not the way it was made old school.“

“This was my first time there, but certainly not the last. I ordered the pizza, which is something that I tend to do while visiting a new restaurant. If they are not an Italian restaurant and they excel in preparing, they will not disappoint you with their other selections. Hands down a winner!Other than the fabulous pizza, their menu selection was incredible. It takes a few minutes to take in all the options offered, and they all sounded great. I plan on making multiple trips to this site and try all that they have to offer.Nice atmosphere and staff. All in all, a very pleasant experience!“

“Stopped in last night for dinner . Service was just as amazing as the food. Great vibe in the place ! The food tasted very fresh . Josh stopped by to check on us and make sure everything was perfect. He was great! Great experience all around. Definitely be back !“

“Great restaurant family owned and great atmosphere and service. Great place to spend your lunch time.Parking: Great wheelchair accessible and close to restaurant.Kid-friendliness: Great kids food on menu.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap accessible and great parking“

“As a vegetarian, Primoz has a ton of options available including vegan sausage and pepperoni. You are able to customize each pizza, replacing any items you don't want. Their crust options are all great, I prefer either the stuffed crust or the original crust. Their sauce is also tasty. Overall, I highly recommend them as one of the best options in the area.Vegetarian options: Anything can be made vegan or vegetarian“

“Went a little early for dinner. I had a burger with blue cheese on it, Blue Caboose. It was immense. I also got a half order of onion rings that was bigger than some places whole order of rings. Partner got a Lincoln burger, it was huge and they didn't skimp on the fries. Food was amazing and cheaper than fast food. ( Someone recommended the Train Wreck but I don't think I could eat all of that.) Yeah, most of the food has train names. Alas they didn't have fried green tomatoes. But the burgers alone are worth a visit.I knew it was a bar but it is very much a bar. Most of the seating is barstool and high tables. Has a nice vibe too. And, the place is tucked behind some old industrial buildings and if you don't know it's there you're not going to find it. It's kinda neat actually. I'm kinda curious if it dates back to the railroad era, before the highway was there.Vegetarian options: Salad.Parking: Lol s of parking. Maintained lot.Kid-friendliness: This is a bar.“

“It's not too much that I have to say about Revolution pizza. This particular day, I wanted pizza and didn't have to travel far for it. A small chicken bacon ranch pizza was $11.99 and it's a little bigger than a personal pan sized. I can't remember the exact slices...I'll say 6 but they were small. I ate the whole thing Lol. They were pretty pleasant on the phone and when I picked up my pizza, which was decent I'm sure I'll try something else and return.“

“I love this place my family and I meet up here a lot of nights, My only complaint at this time is that some nights. They only have one bartender which it seems they would need to. But the food is always great. The atmosphere is beautiful. I will continue To visit this establishmen. I love the ribs, they fall off the bone. And I also love their wings and fresh cut fries. Delicious.................“

“Look, I'd give this place 5 stars but I dont like to overhype a spot. I will say this though: Geraci's has been in University Heights since 1956, and it's no question why. Geraci's offers a full menu of Italian based cuisine but for me, it's largely about the pizza. The occasional eggplant parm add-on, or the frequent house salad are ordered, but the pizza is our go-to. Personally, we go for the deluxe, and the Red Sicilian (no cheese except grated Romano). On the red, its a perfect bread and red sauce bite. On the deluxe, all veggies are fresh (particularly the mushrooms, uncanned), and the meats are unique. Nowhere in Cleveland have I tasted a sausage like on a Geraci's pizza. I have wondered if it is made in house, but note it does have fennel seed (which I love, and almost require) and is crumbled finely. The pepperoni is likewise unique. I have no idea where they source it, but it is nicely spicey, and hand-sliced. It's a hallmark thing for a Geraci's pie. Hand-sliced, slightly irregular pieces of pepperoni, which at times feel like "the steak of Italian charcuterie" (my own words). Bottom line: try a pepperoni and/or a pie of your choice, pair it with an Italian red wine like a Montepulciano or a glass-bottle Coke, and go from there.“
