Ohio City Pizzeria

I live in the neighborhood so this is our go-​to pizza place when we don’t want to support a chain. The pizza looks just like the pictures that are posted, and has been delivered hot every time. The only complaint, is that one time we ordered a dozen wings (they are delicious, breaded and the sauce comes on the side) and there were only 8 in the box when we opened it at home.

I’m the manager at ohio city pizzeria. Due to all increases in the area we had to raise our prices. I hope it doesn’t stop anyone from ordering. We love your business. I look forward to hearing from you. Our menu will be updated shortly. Thanks again.

Best pizza in Cleveland. The sauce is savory and the cheese is thick. Great crispy crust. Amazing price.

Second time with OCP — Saturday night 7pm — not busy at all other than some family members of someone who worked there having dinner. Ordered a calzone with pepperoni/​mushroom and some garlic bread. The calzone had a thick edge which I found to be too much — had it been seasoned or swiped with some garlic butter, it may not have gone to waste. The mushrooms are canned — I prefer fresh, and there wasn’t enough pepperoni. *shrug* The garlic bread though — was laughable. It was a hoagie roll, buttered with garlic powder. I probably could have made that at home eh?
We’ve had pizza from them before and it’s meh… As other Unilocal reviews have said, if you’re just looking for bare bones basics, it’ll do. If you want pizza with some flavor and personality, this probably isn’t the best bet.
I do want to say regarding their screen door that locks (you have to be buzzed in) there is a VERY good reason for this: I live just around the corner from OCP, and can attest to the fact that there are transient and homeless persons to be watchful of most of the time. OCP is just down from a large social service agency and in fact attached to an interim shelter for women. To be clear, I’m in no way saying that homeless people are in general scary, bad or whatever… I’m saying that if I were a business in this area where there is often one employee working way in the back, I’d darn sure have a door that locked and a buzzer to let me know who’s wanting in and why.

Best pizza on the Near West Side! Great as leftovers! Friendly delivery fils! Great tasting pizza. Have it your way!

I’ve tried giving them a few chances every time I’m just super disappointed. Bad pizza and bad customer service when I tried calling to complaint

Average pizza in a great location! The affordable price goes hand in hand with low quality ingredients. The size and amount of toppings are very generous on the pizzas, and the garlic bread is perfect.
My favorite aspect is the delivery, however the last three times I ordered it took over an hour for the delivery, and the pizza was cold.

The pizza there is decent but the customer service is what left a bad taste in my mouth. I thought it was just me, but after reading some of these reviews, a patten of disrespect and a lack of appreciation for ones customer base is clear! Was a customer hear for years but will never again return and would not recommend putting up with the attitude in exchange for mediocre pizza

I was pretty excited to try a new pizza spot for my during the Grammy’s cuisine. I place the order over the phone and was given a pick up time of 35 minutes. I picked my pizza up and it was suppose to have extra sauce and be well done. I had to use my own pizza sauce to make up for the dry pizza. In a pinch the pizza is OK but if you are looking for something a little above average… skip it.

Great pizza… especially for the price! The sauce is thick and a little bit on the sweeter side which is awesome! The crispy crust makes the pizza as well. Definitely will get again!
The pizza place itself looks questionable on the outside but I don’t have anything bad to say about the food.

Delizioso!
I’ve had many of their pizzas there… I live near the place… for now. It’s pizza that can still be competitive! If I ever have to move somewhere else… I’ll eat OCP!

We order from here regularly and for the price, the food is good. Consistently. We usually order pepperoni pizza, but have tried a few others and always been satisfied. Lots of toppings, and yummy sauce. The pizza ALWAYS shows up looking like we ordered double cheese. (we didn’t).we love that. It is stringy and sometimes harder to chew though and has even got caught in my throat! haha
My boyfriend loves the meatball sandwich, says it has the perfect amount of toppings. I like the breaded mushrooms. And the cheesecake is good too!
Sometimes the delivery time is a little slower, but they ALWAYS tell us 45 minutes. haha They’re friendly and when they arrive on time/​early we always tip VERY well because we enjoy! (otherwise they just get a normal tip.) :)

This pizza is so consistently GOOD! For specialty pizza, I go to Edisons in Tremont. But when I want a good pizza without the extra bells and whistles this is easily my favorite spot in CLE. They never fail!

I had a mushroom and cheese pizza delivered. The mushrooms were cannd, which I actually prefer, and there were lots of them. The cheese was thick, not too greasy, and not over seasoned. The sauce was decent, meaning nothing that stuck out to me as exceptionally bad or good, but that is where any goodness ends.
I’m from ny and I’ve only have one pizza in ohio that had a passable crust. This was not it.
1. Crust was covered in grease like PH
2. There was not a lot on the edges of the pizza and what was was crispy or incredibly greasy.
2. The crust below the pizza was thick and way too greasy.
Overall a very poor showing. I will never go back

I wanted some pizza on my way home, and not some chain pizza. A quick search for a local pizza place landed me at Ohio City Pizzeria.
Now I’ll admit the outside of this place was not the most inviting, but the people were pleasant. They were happy for the business and very polite.
The two medium pizzas for $ 10 is a great deal. Way better than two Little Caesars pizzas would be for the same price. I ordered my pizzas and less than 15 minutes later was walking out the door with some hot amazing food.
If I lived closer this would be my pizza place of choice. As it stands if I’m in the area I’ll be picking up a pie.

Come ON!
Maybe I’m not getting what Unilocal is about. Is it supposed to be an «experience» rating or something? Or are you supposed to (attempt to) objectively evaluate the quality of the food we’re reviewing? Cause this food is shit. I ordered it a few times when I first moved here and never again. I’ve had the pepperoni sheet pizza at a local bar and I’ll only eat it cause it’s Sunday night and I’ve probably been partying.
Doesn’t free pizza usually taste the best? Not when it’s from OCP.
Super salty or they put tons of onion powder in the sauce, I don’t know what it is but it makes my stomach hurt, badly. Two pieces of this stuff has prematurely ended my evening more than once, I vow not to do it to myself anymore, even if its free.
I continue to lament the lack of an even passable pizza place that’s actually in Ohio City. There are a few delivery options that are decent, but no real pizza joint.
There are a lot of urban hipsters on here who think that just cause you’re independent, you deserve a higher rating. Just try to focus on the food. Do you understand that just blindly «supporting local business» often means that you’re perpetuating mediocrity?

Note: The only poor rating should be taken with a large grain of salt…
Been coming here ever since I moved from NY. The woman that worked there full time was diagnosed with cancer and is recovering I found out. Her name is Birdy or Bertie. This is the woman who is accused of being too «stoned» to cook pizza. She was definitely a personality but is a good hearted person.
The young girls covering her shifts indefinitely do an amazing job and it’s like the pizza gets better every time I go.
They had a hiccup on an order and gave me a free pizza for having to wait longer than was said when I went in for a pickup order. The Two Mediums for 10 bucks is my favorite deal they offer. They also have some creative and delicious combination. Check em out and support local business in Ohio City!
P.S they only overcook pizzas when you call in for an order right before close. They usually have to turn everything back on and turn the oven up high so they can go home just like anyone wants to go home after working long hours I’m sure.

On approaching the entrance to this place, I was initially unimpressed by the fact that the screen door to enter was locked and one has to ring the bell to have someone let you in.
In order to give the place a fair shake and also to use my day off from being supervegan, I ordered a little bit of everything.
The wings: Great! Breaded but just the right size and breaded and cooked just right
The salad: It’s just salad but the cheese used was great. Got a over-​ripe tomato in the salad but otherwise it was fresh.
The meatball sub: YUMMMMM!!! Just the right amount of toasting on the bun. Cheese was ridiculous! Sauce had that hint of sweetness. Meatballs were good. Just a great overall experience there.
Pizza: It was ok and I think it would be more than ok if one orders extra sauce. Crust was just right (for me) and items seemed fresh.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: If you can deliver hot ‘zza to my face without me moving off my ass, you’re awesome in my book.
And if you take my credit card over the phone, you’re even better!
They’re only open late-​ish, but they’re super-​friendly, local and, do I really need to go on? I can’t say it’s the best pizza I’ve ever had, but it’s a hell-​a-​va lot better than chain-imo’s and greasy hut. Plus you get the warm fuzzies of supporting local business.
I would stay away from the salad. It’s huge, don’t get me wrong, but it’s a whole lot of what you don’t want. For one, I don’t like 3lbs of cheese on my salad and it’s got to be fresh. And trust me, this thing weighs 3lbs. Also, lose the canned mushrooms. Is it really that much more expensive to have fresh ones? I can’t handle those rubbery, soggy things on my ‘zza.
Beyond that, they’ll deliver you fresh, hot, cheesy pizza to your door and fast. Oh, and they have grape and orange pop!

Imagine the days of Yor. Pirates ruled the sea and terrified passing ships in the trade routes. Now imagine the leader and most feared pirate that ever lived was a woman. She works here and shes making your pizza.
I say to those of you who give high ratings to this dive, Is Cleveland that bad and have such a poor selection of Pizza that you are willing to settle for this slop? Its not worth getting mugged or killed to get this pizza. There are so many better places to eat. The one thing i liked was that they use bulk sausage. Other than that. it was average at best. Its a step up from Domino’s.
Aye, so i say t’ all o’ you. Try it if you like, but its a’erage food at best. A pence for an old woman o’de sea?
