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%“

“We loved it! they've had a couple NEW owners in the past couple years. THESE NEW OWNERS ARE GREAT, PERSONABLE, EFFICENT AND THE FOOD IS GREAT. THEY HAVE A NICE LIQUOR SELECTION AS WELL“

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

“The Best Pizza This side of NYC!!!“

“Could not have had a better experience while at Cent's. All the appetizers were great: from the aptly named Wonder Bread, the pickled vegetables & the duck prosciutto. The 2 pizzas ordered, the Papa & the GORF were both standouts. The crust on both was thin and tasty, as good as any overhyped joint in NYC could do. Staff was cordial & helpful. The relaxed atmosphere created between staff & music being played made it a great place to eat and enjoy a meal.“

“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.

Vegetarian options: Load up the veg and skip the cheese

Dietary restrictions: Ask and he will accommodate.

Parking: Few spots right up front

Kid-friendliness: Keep the kiddos at home. Small shop

Wheelchair accessibility: Yep“

“I am a seriously picky person when it comes to pizza. I absolutely love Napoleons. I have Never in 7 yrs had a bad pie from this place. when I order extra cheese you get Extra for sure. I Love it.“

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

“Always the best in town for sure!“

“Stopped in after a baseball game. The people were friendly, and the pizza was awesome. You could tell a difference between the quality of this good old fashioned pizza place and chain pizza establishments. The crust was a mix between pan and hand tossed in texture. The sauce was a perfect combination of sweet and savory. The cheese was just the right amount of ooey gooey goodness. Definitely would recommend. If we ever are in the area again, we’ll definitely return.“

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

“Best pizza in town!“

“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“

“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“

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

“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 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!“

“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!!!“

“Went here w our Elvis group. 15 attended.

Everyone loved their food choices.
Nice atmosphere with oldies music.
Will definitely make a return.“

“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 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.“

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

“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!“

“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!!“

“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! 🇮🇹🙏“

“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“

“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!“

“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“

“Everything was absolutely delicious!!!!“

“10 out of 10 pizza, recommend NYC style“

“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“

“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 :(“

“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.“

“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%“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Jasmine was a sweet pea and so nice when I called also with a awesome attitude when I arrived!! She deserves a day off or lunch and not pizza 🍕😉“

“The WINNNNGS were sooo good! not all wings are created equal and these wings were really good! I like how they were crispy and flavorful and not salty or overbearing with the seasoning. The pizza was amazing but I’m guessing you guys already know that ?“

“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“

“best dinners since Augustinos in Brooklyn,oh where standard was veal parmesan and bottle of wine,no menu needed!! lol“

“Jacob does a wonderful job at making the pizza he always takes care of me and the children, he truly has a heart of gold, thank you for everything Jacob! ❤️ Get the Godzilla Calzone! It's not on the menu it's a speciality item Jacob made so you have to request, OMG 😳😲 it's the biggest Calzone in Cleveland! Literally the BIGGEST!“
