50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Akron

“We were trying to find a place nearby that was open on a Sunday and came across this lovely Italian restaurant. The best part was the staff as they were so friendly and kind. The bread is out of this world and we enjoyed our pasta - you could tell that it’s home made. My husband loved the cream soda and I had a mocktail and appreciated that they had non alcoholic options besides soda! They have a kids menu even if it’s not on their main menu so ask about it :) We will definitely be back the next time we are here.“

“Overall food was very good. Service was also good. Our seat felt crammed against a divider near the wait station so it wasn't as nice as some other places to sit. But this place is very hip and we would definitely go back!!EDIT: Food still good after several years. Only complaint is still certain seating areas are better than others. Definitely talk to hostess if you are not happy with the table you are given. Honestly sitting at the bar was a good experience if you don't like your table.Parking: Weekends it is fine to find parking. Weekdays, if you don't find a spot in their lot, you are going to park a few blocks away.“

“Not sure how I never ate here before. Delicious food, generous portions, friendly and hard working owners. Seriously good food. While waiting for takeout order was treated to a taste of the pork and rice and beans. Perfect! Son stated his sandwich was packed full of meat. We will return soon!“

“We took a trip up to Lancaster and Google the nearest pizza places. The reviews for this place inspired us to try it out and man oh man did they live up to hype . Great food even at 8 o'clock at night . Would recommend to anyone in the area.“

“The staff was very friendly and kind. The little cut in booths make for a private, quiet, date night! Frank, the owner, goes above and beyond. Excellent food, excellent prices! A great example of how to run and business and keep family first! Thanks Frank, we will return on our date nights or for family take and bake dinners!“

“We ordered a 16" Pepperoni pizza just before closing, and we would like to express our gratitude to the staff for completing our order despite the late hour. Upon walking in, we were warmly greeted by friendly staff, and we even had the pleasure of meeting the owner. The owner shared information about the new procedures they use for making their bread, and we decided to try a loaf. The bread turned out to be not only delicious but also phenomenal.Once we arrived home, we eagerly indulged in the pizza. The crust and dough surpassed the traditional pizza dough available in the area. The sauce boasted a fantastic flavor, and the quality of the pepperoni was evident. We are incredibly pleased and thankful for the wonderful experience. We look forward to returning soon!“

“I took the picky 4 year old because she wanted pizza and we needed that old school pizzeria taste and we were not disappointed!! The first bite took me back to the pizzerias I grew up on in New Jersey and New York. Great flavor and all that I had hoped for. The lil one was excited to watch the guys making the pizza, she felt like she was sitting in "their kitchen". That made the experience even better.How do I know the 4y.o. liked it? She ate her slice and mine! I asked her "what does it taste like?" I tried giving her examples... Does it taste like home? Her new favorite pizza? She said it tasted like I cooked it. Now to know her you'd understand that it was a high compliment. I had to tell her I wish I could cook pizza this good.She said well this is the only place I want pizza from, all the time. Needless to say, this will have to be a biweekly stop.Parking: The parking is a lil tricky but accessible.“

“DIY ordering & seating. Had a dozen brew options, good food & a self-service water station. Recommend the braided pretzel for app (soft & chewy) and the Italian Grinder (luv its toasted Amoroso roll). Pizzas were also popular at many tables. Clientele included family diners till abt 7 pm.“

“We live in Massachusetts and my husband loves Roma pizza in Lititz. It is his favorite. Hasn’t had it in years and it did not disappoint. Everything was a fabulous as it always has been. I ordered a gluten free for me and it was spectacular!!! Love Roma!!!!!!!!!“

“best pizza place in the area! like i seriously never ordered this much pizza before i moved. their vegan cheese is delish and theyre always incredibly accommodating for any gluten free or vegan request! amazing staff everyone is always super “

“Great experience here. Ordered a salad and the hot honey pepperoni pizza. Very cool space and the beer was good. I was disappointed at the size of the pizza for $11 which is why I’m taking one star away under food. But it was incredibly good. In fact I ordered a second one because of how good it was. I’ll definitely be back.“

“This was my first time here, and I am definitely looking forward to trying them again! I got a regular cheese steak, and my husband got a Philly cheese steak. I must say I definitely liked the Philly steak more than the regular! The regular was good. I think it could use more onions, and they could definitely add more steak in them, but other than that, I don't really have anything bad to say. The cheddar cheese fries were definitely the best! The cheese was real cheddar, not cheese whiz! The lady behind the counter was very nice and she was was concored weather we liked everything!“

“Literally still in the parking lot because I wanted to leave this review ASAP, the staff is so incredibly. I came in around 8:10pm and everyone was very polite, food was fast and good. But just wanted to shout-out how polite and profession the staff are here.“

“We came in right at the end of a very busy noon traffic. The table that was big enough for our group had not been cleared. It was cleared for us promptly and we were served quickly. The food was excellent and the coffee was fresh. The bread that is used for their pizza and their sandwiches is excellent. Prices were also very fair.“

“A very nice family business. Sometimes the workers get a little confused, but it's always a great good experience. I've had their pizza, stromboli, calzone, and cheese steaks. All the good is fantastic. Update: the service is much improved in recent months. Most servers are experienced and know there menu very well. There are only 4 beers on tap; I would like to see that number triple. Still, 5 starts!“

“A friend recommended this place saying the pizza was really good. I stopped, looked at their menu and decided to order the chicken francese. That meal was superb! I made 3 meals out of it because I wanted it to last. I would highly recommend trying it and also trying the restaurant itself. I actually stopped by to tell them how much I loved it. I will definitely be ordering from them again!“

“Cam here with family. I got a veggie pizza. Vegan cheese can be added to any pizza for $3 extra, and you get maybe 3 slivers of cheese. Disappointed.Best part of this place is the beer. Awkward sitting and ordering, screaming kids everywhere, and they overcharge for food.“

“First time trying DiMaria’s and I’m already convinced they are one of the best options for Pizza around!Let me just start with how nice it is to place an order to go on the phone and that order be EXACTLY what you wanted. There is ordering online as well as an option as well.The pizza was HOT AND FRESH and the wings were absolutely fantastic. As a wing enthusiast, I always show appreciation when they are cooked to my liking (I requested extra crispy/ well done).All we tried were the pizza and wings but it was convincing enough to make it not be a one-and-done situation. We will 1000% be back.P.s. the staff were super nice and welcoming.“

“Small pizza joint but very good. The Sicilian was great. Crispy crust. Toppings are booming with flavor. Also ordered an Italian sub. I do wish they filled it a bit more but the flavor was decent. Been a while since I tried their stuffed pizza but I do know that’s a staple point at this place.“

“Stopped by here on our way to our hotel after a day of hiking at Swatara State Park. Ordered a Pizza Steak and fries and both were delicious. I like that they chop up the steak in the sauce and were very generous with the cheese and the roll was very good, even with the sauce it didn't get soggy. The fries were hot and fresh out of the fryer and were perfectly crispy. Had to wait a bit to check into our hotel room so by the time we were able to eat but the sub was still amazing (the fries were so yummy that we couldn't stop eating them so they were gone by the time we got to our hotel. We are in the area often and will definitely be back.“

“i just went here for the first time. i will definitely be back again. their menu is huge and their prices are fair for the amount of food you get. i got a blt, and it was stuffed. i also got a half order of fries but with the amount they gave me it easily could've been a full order. the blt had crispy bacon, fresh produce, the perf amount of mayo and toasted bread. it was one of the best blts i ever had anywhere. the fries were hot and fresh. nothing was overly greasy so i didn't feel sick afterwards at all like some other places leave me feeling. i left feeling comfortably full. they also have a great selection of bottled drinks. my entire meal was only $10, whereas some other restaurants would charge me that just for the sandwich. the atmosphere was also comfy. it was giving roller rink party room vibes but cleaner and more sophisticated if that makes any sense. the person who took our order was very sweet and even though there was a table of napkins and condiments near us she took the time to bring us a stack of napkins and a bottle of ketchup herself. so overall everything about this place is great, i have no complaints, and i will for sure be back soon to try their other menu items. <3“

“This pizza is different from others. Other pizza places have too much grease. But here, the pizza has just the right amount of grease.Speaking of the right amount, the price I'd cheap, a lot cheaper than others.The interior is like a typical pizzaria in New York. Classic.“

“The food is good but only have one issue. We have called in orders multiple times and my girlfriend asks for a cheeseburger but they have given her a cheeseburger sub and I am not sure why. I have explained to them I did not order a sub and we asked for a cheeseburger.“

“This was the very 1st time going there to get something to eat. It was a wonderful experience. Nice sized dining room very clean. You go up to the counter to order. They bring your food to you. I got a cheesesteak with no onions with a little sauce on it heated in the oven. Well....the meat was the tastes meat I have ever eaten. The flavor was AMAZING, THE ROLL WAS FRESH. I ATE THE WHOLE THING!!!! I Was so impressed by the favor. The staff was very friendly and answered my questions with a smile. The price was just right. I will recommend this place to others. I want to go back to get ? dessert. They have some kind of fried cheesecake. I bet it is awesome too. I WILL BE BACK!!!“

“Great atmosphere, food left much to be desired, pork belly was actually dry and polenta was way overcooked. May have been an off night or something but, I will absolutely be back when I can and I believe there will be a different review for food. The service was excellent and they compted my meal, I really want to do 5 stars and hopefully next time can. Please don’t pass this place up if you have the chance ?“

“Omg, I LOVE their meatball parmigiana sandwich [warm]! The bread holds everything together with great taste. The meatballs are seasoned well, marinara is above average, and Danny’s don’t chintz on the mozzarella!. Great taste, great comfort food. [may be a bit salty for some]. I adore their corn fritters. Fair pricing. Easy online order. Pleasant and quick delivery to SOWE area. Highly recommend.“

“Ive been to a LOT of pizza shops and wow does Leola pizza insert itself at the top. Just moved to Leola about a month ago and they already made themselves our go to. They are so incredibly kind and make sure to listen to how you would like your food. When I went someone was having their birthday party there... that should tell you something. Excited to continue trying new items on the menu and Leola pizza!!!!Parking: Great parking easy access and ways to pull out“

“I have never really been "wowed" by pizza but Two Cousins downtown has changed that for me. The staff is very kind and is there to make sure you get excellent product every time. The pizza is perfectly crispy on the bottom, and nice and chewy on top. Combined with the perfect amount of sauce and cheese, call me hooked. I couldn't help but take a couple bites before I got a picture!“

“Order here for the very first time traveling around lancaster and was lucky to come upon this great Italian restaurant! We ordered pizza and a calzon it was amazing, so delicious it's a good distance away but so worth it❣️❣️Best Pizza I have had here in PA and I have been here since 1972❣️ Looking forward to trying many more delicious foods they prepare! Hoping they make a true antipasta salad have not had a good one since leaving New York other then making my own?❤️❣️Vegetarian options: Had Vegetable Pizza was Superb❣️“

“Came out to play music bingo since our good friend was the DJ. They had great food and the staff was very friendly. This is a nice place to just come and grab a quick bite or to sit down and enjoy a longer dinner.Kid-friendliness: They are very family friendly“

“We ordered online and picked up our food to eat at home. We were able to choose what we wanted on our subs. When we got home, I ate an onion ring and took a bite of my sub and before I was finished chewing, the roof of my mouth started to feel sore and swell. I have a tomato allergy. I checked my order and there wasn't supposed to be tomatoes on my sub. I called and told them and they said that all subs come with lettuce, tomato and onion no matter if you order them or not. They brought me a replacement made the right way.Dietary restrictions: YOU MUST TELL THEM ABOUT A FOOD ALLERGY. BE CAREFUL ABOUT HOW YOU ORDER ONLINE!Parking: The parking lot is in the back, there is a little alley between PJ's and the laundromat.“

“This place is a gem. I am a pizza lover. And, I like my pizza HOT. Like burn your mouth hot. The quality of the pies they put out is amazing. Totally consistent. Hot and with very high quality ingredients. Even the cheese is different. The staff is always friendly and orders are put up fast. Anytime I am in the area (I don’t live near) I grab a pie to go. Their white pie with spinach is very good.“

“Just so my comments not biased tried it twice in one week first waitress was extremely Bland and boring zero sense of humor second waitress was totally different thank God for that nothing I hate more than a boring waitress otherwise you can't go wrong with the cheeseburger sub or a cheese steak fryer Foods not so much but there's definitely something to be said for the homemade rolls that they use to make you sandwiches“

“The staff here is absolutely amazing! Very vibrant and fun with loads of energy throughout the entire restaurant! The gentleman in the front is the most exciting and energetic I've ever seen! Staff is great, food is good and customer service is beyond my expectations for a pizza shop.“

“Amazing food, great atmosphere, and always friendly service. For anyone who is gluten free, highly recommend their GF sub roll that can be used for many of the items on their sub menu.Dietary restrictions: Great options for gluten free sandwiches and subs“

“1st time here. Ordered a pizza. Sraff was very friendly & accommodating. The pizza was fabulous. Fresh tasting & flavorful. I think what got me most it was worth the price (now days, I feel like everything is over priced & the quality/quantity & ingredients is compromised). Not here. I will definitely order again. Well done!!“

“Have ordered from Roma’s numerous times (I go with the mushroom pizza, extra mushrooms). Always consistent in flavor. Last week decided on trying a pasta and meatball dinner. Again, very pleased. Great flavor with the sauce. To be honest,, atmosphere is a bit to be desired but its a busy place no doubt. Order on line is easy and is usually ready when you get notified. Recommend for a good pizza.“

“Our bartender was so sweet! She came up with a great drink for my lady who is not a beer fan. We each ordered a small plate and split a third. My only qualm is the one we shared: the Asian cauliflower. The flavor was there! The potential was there! But either (1) batter and fry smaller pieces or (2) par cook the cauliflower. Boil or roast... but battering raw cauli and basically flash frying leaves a texture that is too difficult to cut into. But the batter and the flavor and the slaw is all on point! Will definitely be back.“

“My family has been going here for a very long time! We had a wonderful time with their family, cheese steaks and ham boats and the French fries are out of this world!! We live in MD and my brother lives in VA and when we travel to PA we always go there with a cooler!!!“

“Ordered for the first time last night. Large cheese pizza, delivered. We’re about 10-15 minutes away from the shop. Pizza arrived hot and fresh. Cheese was molten and the crust had a nice crunch on the bottom. I’m salivating just thinking about it. Sauce was rich and bold, plenty of cheese on top. Best pizza I’ve had in this county, could easily be in my top 5 in the world. Reminds me of a good traditional NYC slice. 11/10. This’ll be my new go-to spot.“

“Ok here's another pizza review . I can only review their pizza because that's all I had. Let me start by saying this mom and pop business offers a lot. The place is pretty roomy for eat in. I cannot review the cleanliness because I showed up after lunch rush and there was only the two working. Not bad though. Now I love my pizza like I love my Asian food and let me say the pie I received was really good. About and 8 out of 10. The crust was done perfectly,nice and brown on the bottom, firm but not well done and no oily top. I didn't ruin a shirt while eating and driving. The portion of cheese and tomato sauce was perfect. Without any spices added the flavor was excellent. Later in the evening I put some slices in the air fryer/toaster oven for about 3 minutes to heat up. Added my spices and let me say, the pizza came out crispier and better then before. I could eat this pie all day. If the rest of their food is anything like their pizza this place is a definite home-run. When in the Litiz Pa give them a try. Let me know how their other dishes are. Enjoy“

“We have had very good experiences with this new location in Adamstown. The food was hot when we picked it up or when we had it delivered. Our orders have been correct. Our delivery driver was pleasant and courteous. We had a late night delivery and she was quiet when she knocked, explaining that she thought there could be littles in the home sleeping and didn't want to wake them. How thoughtful!! We will definitely continue to be repeat customers here!“

“My 1st time here and I had to get a cheeseburger. The Bread was wonderful!! The cheesesteaks liked terrific also. Someone ordered stuffed shells and found them delicious. The buildings around here are small and sound can travel through them. Otherwise I plan to come back nextime I am in town.“

“One of the better cookie cutter pizzeria in the city. Go for lunch or a quick bite to eat. You definitely won't have any regrets at this place.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly friendly environment great ppl.Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible by wheel chair.“

“Just happened to be in area and stopped in. What a positive experience. The pizza we had was the best we had in a long time. The employees were super nice, prices were fair, and the place itself was cute. Wish we lived closer to try other things on their menus. If we are ever in the area again we will definitely stop in.“

“We are so happy to have the original owners back the best people ? HER PEPES SPECIAL CHEZZE STEAK IS HANDS DOWN BETTER THAN ANY GUS CHESSE STEAK AND PEPES PIZZA HAS ? ? FREE FRENCH FRIES ? ON FRIDAYS WITH any SUB you order only on Friday it's worth the drive ? God bless“

“I walked into this establishment for the first time in search for fresh bagels. Understandably, they were sold out mid afternoon. Disappointment must have shown on my face because the very kind gentleman behind the counter (owner?) offered to give me a free frozen Sesame bagel to try! He told me the best method to defrost it and even wrapped it in a plastic bag for me to seal in the freshness. He then added another free bagel to the bag in case someone else wanted to try them! The bagel was TOP NOTCH!! So much great authentic taste and after putting it in the toaster, it was crispy on the outside, but still fluffy on the inside. The customer service alone is superb (!!) and the freshness and quality of food stands equally with it! I can't wait to return and taste other items on the menu.“

“Absolutely fantastic Italian Restaurant - out of the way and severely underrated! We've dined here 1/2 dozen times and each time it gets better. First, the staff - Tony(owner), Louise, Abby, Giovanni, and so many others are friendly and courteous. There's clearly an excellent team in place here. On to the food - ridiculously good. Nothing is average or "OK" here, its all delicious. My favorite is the Seafood Fra Diavolo, Chicken Picatta and Pollo Basilica. The cocktails are excellent as well - If you don't leave room for the amazing gelato bar, then take some home with you. I cannot reccomend Ciro's enough.“
