50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Independence

“No words…….. other than the best pizza ever.

I encountered while in town for work, and was floored.

I Love traditional NY style, Artesian, Oven, Brick…….. I love all pizza….. this was the best, a cut above for sure.

Incredible vibe and service as well

Went back multiple days in a row it was so good“

“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“

“Old school pizza shop with old school pizza. That's not a disparagement. It was very good. They put toppings under the cheese, and they do not skimp on toppings! I got The Regular which is double cheese and triple pepperoni. There was (almost) too much cheese and there was so much pepperoni. Probably the most stand out thing about this pizza is that they use real quality cheese. You can tell immediately from the texture.“

“Great breakfast selection, family-friendly, fast and friendly service, affordable, great comfort food.“

“Explored the creative cocktail menu and everything was excellent. Service was attentive.“

“Tried Valley Pizza for the first time tonight.Supreme Pizza. Wow.reminds me of the neat little mom and pop Pizza parlors from back it the day 1970s.Lots of flavor, even the dough tastes good.cant wait to try the other sauces.Very well done.Ill be back soon.“

“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.“

“First visit this evening with a small group of friends, had 14 different menu items, drinks, apps, pizzas and desserts The staff was attentive and swift, a nice back room to sit and relax with friends. Everything we tried was wonderful, the staff was flexible bring the hot honey for the pizza on the side. All five of us left comfortably stuffed . Will absolutely be returning. 10 out of 10 pictures of drinks and dessert, eat the pizza to quickly“

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

“Edit: it's clean now! The pizza here is so good, we have been here several times and will definitely be back. I hesitate to recommend this place because it is just so dirty in here. They make little effort to wipe the tables or sweep the floor during service. The trash piles up right by clean service items. You have to bring your own wipes to clean off a sticky table if you want to dine in.“

“My kids took us to dinner here last night for my birthday. What a great restaurant! There were 11 of us! Our server, Gina, was so friendly, efficient, and helpful! The food was excellent too!“

“If I could give this place 10 stars, I would! I had never been before, but decided to host my husband's surprise birthday there before one of the Guardians games and the staff went above and beyond to help me arrange and set up exactly what I needed and they were very communicative and responsive. They were extremely attentive and helpful and the food was very prompt and absolutely delicious! They even offered to hold our cake and decorations until after the game. Very accommodating. The atmosphere was also perfect for any game day watching or gathering and there were so many beer options (pour your own so we could sample whatever we liked). I recommend this place 100 times over for anything from game watching, party hosting or just hanging out!“

“Quaint dining experience. Great pizza! Awesome servers! Conscientious kitchen staff.“

“The cheeseburger was excellent and the fried plantains were delicious. Would recommend. The staff was friendly and welcoming.“

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

“Always the best in town for sure!“

“Burned the roof of my mouth off because I couldn’t wait to try this pizza !! So tasty, crisp , flavorful ! We tried the Gio’s special , yum. Not really anywhere to sit, just a walk in and out counter service shop. Will be back for more ! Also , it tasted even better cold the next morning !“

“Best pizza around …Love the Honest Abe Forma & Peppy Pig ! Sabrina always does a great job!“

“Best pizza in town!“

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

“We love Russo’s, we have young kids and the owners and family who work there are so great with them. There isn’t service or pizza like this anywhere. All the pizzas are shrinking, Russos is not. We love them 💞“

“7/12/26 Best pizza in Cleveland I've had. Comparing Ohio Pie to Little italy pizza. Ohio Pie is way better.

My family and I had a large pizza similar to a supreme pizza, but with out the olive. Those things are nasty!

But anyway our pizza was smooth, chewy, churchy, and had plenty large size of toppings. The cheese and sauce had a nice gooey spice mix to it. I escpecally loved that it had no thick dough ring around it like most pizza's. The size was more than enough for 4-6 people. So far, best pizza in Cleveland hands down!“

“great food. Janice is the greatest waitress. she friendly and efficient.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Neapolitan style pizza has surprisingly stiff competition here in Cleveland. Il Rione, Vero and Cent's are all serious contenders. The clear winner though is CENT'S. Let me count the ways - ambience, cocktails made to perfection, exquisite wine selection, unpretentious service, toppings and sauces that come together like magic. Am I biased because it's in my neighborhood? Not in the least! That makes me lucky - not biased!“

“My daughter and I was in Cleveland for a concert. We wanted to grab a bite to eat before the show. We googled and found this place as it was the closest to the venue. When we walked in we asked how long it would take to get a pizza and explained that we were short on time and the owner greeted us and told us that he could have us a pizza ready in about 10 minutes. We were seated and given some complementary bread. The owner suggested their take on the new haven style and it was amazing.The place was clean and cozy. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We WILL be making the hour drive again just to visit.“

“Every 6-8 weeks I meet a couple of friends at Dina’s for lunch. We met Saturday Jan 3rd 2026 about 1:45. It was extremely busy. As soon as we were seated our server Jenn (Jennifer O) got down to business with us. She was calm, attentive and friendly. As we took up her booth for a while for a girls vent/tea spilling/catch up she was amazing! We knew the food was exceptional but Jenn was a huge bonus! Thank you from the buffet ladies!“

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

“Native New Yorker. The owner heard me ranting and raving about how incredible the pizza was. He introduced himself - great guy. I explained I've been unable to find such incredible pizza in the state, as it's hard to beat what you can find in New York. He then tells me he's from Brooklyn, New York! Between me and my three friends, we finished two extra large pizzas.

This has been the only place to take me home within the state of Ohio. Hands down the best pizza I've ever had in this state.

Think about that.“

“The service at Tripi's was the best. Everyone was so pleasant and helpful. They really make their customers feel great. The food was delicious and plentiful. We enjoyed 2 sub sandwiches and a pasta dinner. There is a clean area to sit and enjoy your food. I would highly recommend a visit to Tripi's. You'll love it.“

“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“

“Food and beer was great! Pizzas are awesome! Owners are super nice and wonderful down to earth people! Definitely recommend!“

“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!“

“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.“

“If I had to pick the top 5 coffees I’ve ever drank in my life I would have never thought that a coffee from MGK’s coffee house would be my #2! The place was such a cute place to stop on our road trip and I was pleasantly surprised but how good the coffee was and the atmosphere of the place!“

“Super good pizza and wonderful friendly customer service. Found this place while we were traveling to the area. The pizza was excellent. We got takeout. The worker was extremely caring and conversational about our travels. Highly recommend. We got the large family pizza. They did the light sauce request perfectly.“

“Marsella’s Pizza has been my favorite place for chicken tenders and Jo Jo potatoes for years! Their honey mustard is seriously one of my favorites, too. Their pizza is also really good!
I’m not originally from this area, but I’ve lived here for about 5 years and have tried quite a few of the pizza places around. I always find myself coming back to Marsella’s—it’s still my favorite.
The people working here are always friendly, and the food has been consistently great every time I order. It’s nice to have a local place that you know you can count on for good food and good service. Definitely one of my go-to spots!“

“Gionino's pizza has been our favorite pizza for many years. It is made with better quality ingredients and the toppings are applied generously. Staff is always friendly and efficient, even on their busiest nights. Thank you for working hard to maintain higher standards, Gionino's!“

“Greatest pizza place in the world.“

“It’s not just a pizza place do not judge a book by its cover. The outside and inside might need a little work but really who cares about that it’s what’s on the inside. Let me just tell you guys This place is amazing. I’ve been going here since I was a little kid the lady that manages it or owns it is wonderful and was a delight talking to that’s five stars alone but the food omg amazing they’re dupe for the Roman burger is way better and more fresh and more food for practically the same price. Menu items are decently, priced and fresh. Also, the Stromboli is fire. One of my favorite things to order. Check them out if you’re ever in the area thanks for being awesome. I’ll keep coming back. I’m telling you, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Words cannot accurately explain how great our experience was tonight! I decided to celebrate my mom’s 78th birthday here due to the fact my mom loves Antonio’s pepperoni nuggets and she’s never been here before. We had 14 people in our party and Megan K. was an absolute rockstar! Everyone was so welcoming and gracious to my mom on her special day! Food was FANTASTIC!! Thank you all for a wonderful evening!“

“Godmother's is always good, but tonight it's great!! I have to stop myself from eating the whole thing! 😋🍕😋“

“We got a last minute reservation on a Friday night after a recommendation. We weren’t sure what to expect, and we were VERY happy! I had a delicious classic Paper Plane cocktail and hubby ordered a bottle of red wine. We started with frog legs as an appetizer…lightly fried, and so much garlic and lemon…perfection! I had the chicken pitta, my husband had veal parm (our server Tony suggested it as it would go great with the wine he chose). Both dishes were so plentiful we each took half home. The amount of artichokes and red peppers on my piccata was very generous, they don’t skimp on anything! We ended the night with Affogato and it was also wonderful. Bottom line is the whole experience was great! We can’t wait to be back in Cleveland and come back…don’t miss out.“

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

“my foodgasm sandwich is "The Papa" a supreme combo of Prosciutto, chopped pistachios, a hefty load of Oregano leaves, perfectly tied together with a sweet vinaigrette on a baguette roll. friendly owner & staff, amazing food, and quaint cozy atmosphere that transports you overseas to a traditional Italian deli Storefront. What's not to love?“

“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“

“The pizza is usually good. We are on quarantine. We decided to order and have it delivered which I think they usually don't come to our address. We also decided to try the sweet chili pizza. Both pizzas were absolutely amazing!! So happy with our order today! Thank you for making my family happy during this time of duress. ♥️“

“Good food, great staff and friendly patrons !!!!“
