50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Independence

“There are a lot of great, independently owned pizza joints in the Cleveland area. Romito's is a prime example. I would place them in my personal top 5. The sauce has great tomato character and is not too sweet. The cheese is ample and well baked. The sausage is hand pinched, and the crust is nice and hearty. I would suggest Romito's to anyone I know.“

“My wife and I have been watching customers picking up their pizza for a long time while enjoying our coffee next door, so today we decided to go and try Augies Pizza, I can say is one of the best pizza we ever tried, from the crust to the sauce, customer service and cleanliness everything was perfect.
Thank you for having such a great prod, I will recommend Augies Pizza 100%“

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

“We visit Cents Pizza almost every month (sometimes twice!) and it never disappoints. The Wonderbread with chilli garlic oil is our absolute favorite, and the Margherita pizza is always spot on. The staff is super warm all of them and special shoutout to patrick, the service is excellent — definitely one of our go-to places!“

“The Best Pizza This side of NYC!!!“

“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.

“Best pizza in town!“

“really good pizza( not super greasy) good salad! very cute inside will definitely be back“

“We typically go out for pizza (dine in), but decided on delivery tonight. The pizza and crinkle cut fries were delivered fresh, hot and prompt. The driver was friendly, as was the person who took our phone order. Excellent pizza. Will definitely order again.“

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

“was in the area and was told by a friend the pizza here was very good. I can confirm that it is.“

“I don't leave reviews however I'm going out of my way to show this owner some love !!! From Youngstown and just passing through on some work and mamma Mia 😘👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 Just what I was wanting and the best sandwich I've had in awhile The meataballas were delicious as well Well done and best of luck in your business 👊🏻 Ordered the Nonna 😎 added some hot peppers and mayo“

“I finally tried Lucky’s at the recommendation of my wife. The Cubano was excellent! Looking forward to trying a pizza and the reuben egg rolls in the near future!“

“Our first time visiting was truly special, thanks to Debbie, our amazing server. She treated us like family and her recommendations were spot on. We had a delightful family dinner complete with wine, salad, pizza, and chicken Parmesan. What a pleasant surprise to find such a great family-style restaurant! We highly recommend it and will definitely be back“

“I usually love this place but tonight's curbside order was an hour and a half wait (usually curbside pickup is a half hour)! They now also have signed up with other delivery services so they are super busy. Our food wasn't ready when it was promised. I went in and there were about 3-4 empty tables! You'd think that with the long wait the tables would be backed up too. I mentioned to the manage that if I had known there were tables available I would have dined in instead of take out. She said they try to get their dine-in customers their food before the take out. 🤦 Really Dewey's, what customer wants to know that their service is not as important as another customer? If I had known that I wouldn't have waited an hour and a half (plus) at home, and would have gone in, placed my order then changed my mind and taken it to go!“

“Great Italian specialties. The sandwich’s were delicious! I had the Roast beef sandwich , my husband had the Italian. We also had the Wedding Soup, what a treat!!! Authentic and flavorful! The Maritozzi’s were the most delicious sweet I have had in a long time! The staff is super friendly, they treated me like family! Definitely coming back here again soon!“

“Another Road-Trip pizza review!! Ordered an 8-cut pepperoni and sausage. Took 40 mins on a Friday night (pretty normal). The pizza sauce was savory, the dough was tasty and the crust was crunchy, sausage was normal, the pepperoni was their downfall in the rating... I think the whole pizza had 16 prices (not joking with 2 each slice). But the atmosphere was spectacular!! I don't think you can take it all in with one visit!! We will be back, but they really need to work on that pepperoni issue 😁“

“I have worked in the Garfield Hts area for almost 8 years now and anytime I think of having pizza for lunch or dinner, I think of East Coast Pizza. Their pies are always hot with fresh ingredients. Delivery service is great however, if I order pickup the parking has never been an issue. My staff and ladies at the group home love them.“

“Wow!!! We just left Danny Boys. We had the pleasure of Maria being our server! She blew my socks off!! Wow, just wow. Talk about customer service. Her personality was so welcoming and warm and genuine. The way she slyly grabbed straw wrappers off the table when she set the garlic bread down (which was an amazing recommendation) did not go unnoticed. I’d give Maria 100 stars if I could. Thank you so much! Our food was excellent and such a great experience and great place. We will definitely be back!!!“

“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“

“Awesome pizza!! And their salad is also very good with their homemade italian dressing. We go quite often to the Brecksville or Northfield location. When I brought my grandkids they said it was the best pizza they ever had. Highly recommended!!!“

“My fiancé and I want to thank the entire staff at Vero for an AMAZING experience! The pizza is by far some of the best pizza I have ever had in 40+ years! I will gladly come back from NJ to eat here again! My compliments to the Chef and the staff. We now have a home away from home. As we Italians say GRAZIE TANTE! 🇮🇹🙏“

“Simply the best pizza I've ever had. Superior toppings, great crust and consistent excellence for decades now. I find it unreasonable for me to go anywhere else.“

“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!!“

“First time for drive thru pizza! Will be back!“

“Cool little place you can tell the owners care about their business.

Pizza and cheesy bread were really good. I’ll say one thing the bottom of the pizza could have a little more color. Maybe ask for it to be left in an extra minute or so.

I’ll go back here“

“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%“

“When they actually get your order right it’s good food. The problem is that they screw up the orders too often. It doesn’t matter if you order online or over the phone, what you ask for and pay for is not what’s in the box. They either drown the wings because you ask for extra sauce (to the point where the box can’t hold the sauce & it’s spilling out) or the wings are bone dry. The last order I placed was for a white pizza with chicken and bacon, I got a white pizza with banana peppers, tomatoes, black olives and bacon… NOT the same!
It’s frustrating because the food IS good :(“

“My family loves Toni’s Pizza! 🍕🫶🏻“

“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!“

“Thank you driver Dave for the cookies 🐶 and the delicious pizza!! Quick delivery, great service and a really nice delivery guy! 🍕“

“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“

“Im a truckdriver delivering at amazon warehouse shop is on corner by truck entrance it had great pizza and one of the best cheesesteak subs I've had in along long time... the man in the shop was awesome very professional and personable definitely will be back“

“amazing service cleanest pizza place around and delicious food also the delivery guy is on it and we love this place“

“This really is the best pizza I’ve had so far in Parma. But their not open long enough.“

“10 out of 10 pizza, recommend NYC style“

“Stopped by the Mentor location today for a slice, left with 2 slices & a can of pop for $7. Good stuff! She said pizza was fresh out the oven, it was pretty good! A little greasier than I’d like on the bottom but crust wasn’t too soggy and had good crunch with pepperoni too“

“amazing pizza and lovely staff :)“

“So tasty and so many options with super friendly staff!“

“Godmother's Pizza and Subs is hands down a hidden gem! Their meatball sub is the best I’ve ever had. The bread is baked to perfection, with just the right balance of softness and crunch. The meatballs are tender and flavorful, paired with a rich, savory sauce that ties everything together beautifully. Every bite feels like comfort food done right. If you’re in the area, this is a 100% must-try spot. You won’t be disappointed!“

“I went there Saturday August 16th after attending the Pagan Pride and ordered chicken tenders and jojos. The pizza looked and smelled delicious. They were very busy. Staff is friendly and hard working. They apologized for it taking longer than usual but it was at 4pm and they were slammed. The three huge tenders were crispy and delicious. The coating is amazing. 6 large jojos and after being in the sun and heat all day I was starving. I always order food here every year after attending Pagan Pride. They let us park in their huge lot so we make sure to buy food there. One of the best gioninos that I have ordered from.“

“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.“

“Tried for the first time today after a friend suggested it to me. I got the Philly cheese stromboli & breaded mushrooms. Both were absolutely amazing! My husband got boneless wings, and those were great as well. Will definitely be coming here again to try some of their other foods and for the stromboli.“

“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“
