Geraci's Restaurant University Hts

Fantastic place! You watch the pizza makers flipping up in the air fresh dough through open windows which your kiddos will love. Totally reasonable and the pizza is fantastic. Hot and fresh. Service was great! I will absolutely come back. It's a little hidden gem in a plaza

My wife and I had occasion to stop at the University Hts location for the first time in a while. I had almost forgotten how good the food here is. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

Over and above the yummy food was our server (I believe her name was Andrea). She was amazing! We were taken care of right away. Andrea stopped back multiple times during our meal to check on how everything was. All in all a very pleasant dining experience. We won’t wait so long for our next visit.

6.7.2025 - I called in the order. The young lady was very pleasant and they didnt require a payment over the phone.👍🏽

I was quoted 25-30 minutes. The pizza was done promptly. Small pizza with pepperoni and sausage ($16.00). There were several onions on there, im guessing maybe from the sauce (though they werent diced), so maybe they got on there by mistake. No big deal cause i like onions. But ill be sure to ask if i return, or recommend the place to someone.

The location was clean in and outside.

Overall, this place is a no for me because the flavor of the pizza was not there. Nothing about the pizza taste like fresh ingredients. Nor did ir taste like anything memorable or that standa out. 🤷🏽‍♀️

The pizza here is superb, but my favorite item here is the zucchini fries. The great blend of crunch and flavor really elevates the appetizer game of this restaurant. And it's a vegetable, so it's good for you. The Honey Pie might be my favorite pizza here. I usually add bacon to mine. You don't usually have to wait long to get a table. The food is served pretty quickly.

The best pizza in the city of Cleveland little high price on some of their meals but the pizza is the best in the city

I ordered through DoorDash. Perversely, I hoped the pizza would be mid because it was fairly expensive, and I didn't really want to get attached to a pizza that pricey.

Upsettingly, it was INCREDIBLY delicious. As someone who made pizza professionally for many years and still occasionally makes it from scratch at home, I couldn't do any better. The cheese was the right level of stretch and stiff. The sauce has a great depth of flavor being neither too sweet nor too acidic. I could do with a slightly fluffier rim on the crust, but that is such a minor complaint for what was otherwise a perfect pizza.

How dare you make a pizza that good.

Seriously, I'll definitely order again.

We simply got a take out pizza. Food was tasty. Service at the counter was ok, they were on their cell phones a fair amount.

This is the original Geraci's in University Heights. It opened in 1968 and is still owned by the original family. Our food was incredible! I had Chicken Parm. My chicken was tender and juicy! It was a large portion with a side of spaghetti. My husband had baked lasagna, and his portion was also large. The menu has traditional Italian options, as well as pizza. They have a small beer and wine list with several Italian options. I also got Tiramisu to go! If you are a student at John Carroll University, they offer a 20% discount! We will definitely be going again!

Ordered Calamari...overcooked. Server Lied said they out. Ordered online...Hard and Crunchy...Not Edible. Go Elsewhere

Our server Jen was great!

Edit:
Alisha reached out and we have resolved the situation, so I am adding a star.

I can not in good concussions rise my ranking higher as I am still not thrilled this happened in the first place, nor am I thrilled about the 20% large party gratuity not being mentioned on the menu or verbally, which lead to some of this confusion, nor am I happy about Alisha's assertion that our group was given the choice to add the extra 18% tip and did so out of confusion (when we were very much not given a choice) but I do think it was a mistake/action taken by our server and not representative of normal business practices.

Went here tonight with a large group. Food was really delicious, and service was fast and response.

But what really got me was when they brought out the checks, which included both an 18% and 20% gratuity both stacked for a total of 38%

When I first handed over my card I thought the precalculated numbers were suggestions and on the final bill I could put down the actual tip (I was planning to tip generously, around 25%.)

But both precalculated tips carried through to the final bill.

This was not pre-communicated to me and I am very unhappy about this. It was a sour end to an otherwise excellent dinner.

I will likely not be coming back here again because of it and will instead frequent more honest establishments
