23 Best Pizza Restaurants near Solon

“Fun place and friendly staff. Good for kids and family. Food and cooks were off during our lunch visit. Salad was good but more than some lettuce was brown; sandwich had old rubbery Swiss cheese and slab of chicken or turkey, and Margherita pizza had little flavor, a few tiny pieces of old basil, and doughy crust. A waste of a wood-fired oven. Go for fun, not food.“

“Pagliai’s Pizza is the kind of place that reminds you why the best dining experiences are often the simplest. Tucked away in Iowa City, this unassuming neighborhood institution feels like a hidden treasure — and after our first visit, the only disappointment was realizing it took us four years, and the eve of graduation, to finally discover it. What makes Pagliai’s even more remarkable is its history. Serving Iowa City since 1957, the restaurant has spent decades perfecting the art of traditional pizza-making, and that experience is evident in every detail. In an era where restaurants constantly chase trends, Pagliai’s has endured by staying true to what it does best. From the moment you walk in, Pagliai’s embraces an old-school charm that feels increasingly rare. The dining room is cozy and inviting, filled with classic booths and intimate tables that create the perfect atmosphere for an authentic pizza night. There’s no unnecessary flash here — just a restaurant that knows exactly what it is and executes it beautifully. The menu follows the same philosophy of simplicity done right. Beer, wine, and soda accompany what is unquestionably the star of the show: the pizza. Offered in both original crust and double dough, the pies arrive perfectly crafted and unapologetically delicious. We ordered two large original crust pizzas, and every slice passed the ultimate “flop test” with flying colors — crisp enough to hold its shape, yet still perfectly tender with each bite. What makes Pagliai’s so memorable is its confidence in tradition. The ingredients are fresh, the flavors are balanced, and the experience feels refreshingly genuine. Add in prices that are remarkably reasonable, and it becomes clear why this Iowa City staple has thrived for nearly seven decades. Whether you’re a longtime Iowa City resident or simply passing through, Pagliai’s Pizza is a must-visit destination — a timeless pizza parlor that quietly delivers one of the best meals in town.“

“Ate here for the first time before attending an Iowa basketball game nearby. There were good choices on the menu. I had the spicey Italian meatball grinder with fries. It was good and very filling. Prices seemed reasonable. The place was noisy so it was hard to socialize with my friends. Otherwise, a good place to eat and would go there again if in town.“

“Every time my family goes to the Pizza Ranch in North Liberty it is a wonderful experience. The staff is all so kind and helpful. It’s our number one pick to bring the kids for special lunches and dinners. 10/10!“

“We don't live in the area, but camp down here at least once a year. We decided to grab pizza because when we got set up, it was almost dark & drive by this place every time we come down. Boy am I sad we waited this long to try it! The staff was so nice & the food was fantastic. Next year I'm only getting breadsticks for myself.. they were fantastic! We highly recommend!“

“Taco pizza pleaseeeeeeeee“

“We had a wonderful experience at Lincoln Winebar this afternoon. We ordered a bottle of a moscato. (half off on Wednesdays) It was hands down the best moscato we’ve ever had and a pepperoni pizza that was great as well. We can’t wait to go back.“

“Never disappointed! Consistently great pizza!!“

“Had to drop a few lines for the Papa John's over in Coralville. Ordered up a duo of pies for game night and let me tell you, they did not disappoint. First off, we dove into a classic crust masterpiece topped with a double threat of Italian sausage – got both the regular and the spicy. It was a flavor throwdown, and every slice was like a high-five to the taste buds.Then there was the "All the Meats" pizza on a thin crust, but we didn't just go standard – no, we cranked it up a notch with extra pepperoni. It was like the ultimate meat lovers' dream without all the doughy business. You could actually taste the crispy carnage of meats in every bite. Pure genius.Delivery was spot-on too. It arrived faster than a cheesy lightning bolt, hot and ready to be devoured. The driver was cool, too, didn't just hand over the goods, but did it with a smile that said, "Enjoy the feast, my friend."All in all, if you're prowling for a solid pizza experience in Coralville, Papa John's is slinging the good stuff. Worth every penny and then some.“

“It was one week ago today that we had a bunch of hangy tired teenagers and we were passing through Mobile, AL at lunchtime. We pulled into Godfather's Pizza in Tillman' Corned, AL outside of Mobile 5 min before buffet ended. I gave the manager a pass and told him we would happily go somewhere else if we were too late for the buffet. Steve would hear none of this! He told me to unload everyone and come eat. We weren't all even finished ordering before it ended and they were totally amazing about. They cooked every off the wall pizza we asked for and did it all with patience and smiles. They were actually happy we were there. I love it when I can eat great pizza AND give money to kind and awesome people. Can't wait to go back. #godfatherspizza #stayclassy #bestpizza #legendaryservice #customers4life“

“Their place was amazing, had a big pan pizza with a drink and it filled me up pretty dang good. The service was quick and was able to get a table after getting my food. I got my mom to try it and she liked it alot. I would highly recommend this place either at the mall in Coralville or any general place they are at. Thanks for the experience, hope to visit the place again.“

“I ordered a stuffed crust pepperoni pizza and it was great, but the service was what really stood out. The staff was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to be helpful while I was there. It is rare to get such excellent service at a pizza place, so I really appreciated it. I will definitely be coming back to this location.“

“Cool retro vibe! Fun place to get some great food and watch the Hawkeyes!“
