Kayleigh is the bright spot of this establishment. She was extremely friendly and always checking in. I had lots of questions regarding the ingredients of each dish and she had unlimited knowledge of the menu. She recommended a pizza to me and man was she right. It was heaven to my tastebuds. If this girl doesn't get a raise then slap me silly. read more

Very good Sicilian pizza. We had the chicken pesto and it was superb. The crust was light and airy and perfectly cooked. The toppings were fresh, there was a bite of everything's ok each slice and the cheese was perfectly elastic. Good service, fair prices. We split a large which is way too much for two people but we wanted to take some back to the hotel. read more

Been here many times without issue. Different story tonight. Here on a Friday night. Good Friday to be exact. Had a small request. We wanted to order a lg Sicilian, plain with a side order of bacon. We even said we were willing to pay for 1/2 bacon, just wanted it on the side. My daughter would only eat one piece, two tops. Being a good Catholic, no meat for me and my wife, however my daughter is 13 and can still have meat of Friday's. Our server tried to accommodate us but was apparently told by the kitchen, sorry we can't do that. We were forced to order a medium plain and a small bacon pizza. Not a huge deal but rather ridiculous to not just give us a lg pizza and side of bacon. Sorry guys, you can do better than this. Give me a break. read more

Let's get this straight - their Sicilian Pizza is LEGIT. I've been going there all of my 30 yrs. But their delivery time & estimation of delivery time is AWFUL. You say 45 mins, but it shows up in 1hr 15?!?! Just let a girl know from the beginning that it will be that long! Also, when I check on it, their answer is "I don't know where your pizza is." Wtf is that? I worked in the restaurant industry for 7 yrs - I get it. Things get busy. Please either get more efficient or more honest. Keep up the good pizza. read more

I am an Night Shift RN working at one of the local Hospitals here in Clifton area of Cincinnati. The staff on my unit probably order from Adriatoco's three or four times a week. On the night of 01/14/20 a group of the nurses and I ordered. I ordered the 1/2 lbs Mild boneless wings ($7.99 + $2xx tip) . What they delivered was extremely HOT. Several of the staff tried the sauce and agreed it was HOT not mild. When I called to ask for a replacement the young man on the phone was rude and argumentative insisting they gave me mild wings, and would not replace them. I was ready to say "good buy to Adriatico's for good" It took me till this morning the 16th to reach Tom the owner & Mike the manager (I work nights so I sleep during the day) . Not only were they both very apologetic that I had a bad experience, but were polite, professional, and gave me a credit on my next order. They also said they would be discussing proper customer service with their night staff. I asked them to not be too hard on their staff, and hopefully make it a learning experience. I changed this review from one star for the bad attitude to four stars for excellent a resolution. You will keep my business Adriatico's. read more

Love Adriatico's pizza. Brings me back to college years. Still my favorite pizza 20 years later hands down. Crust is lightly garlic flavored. Sauce is has a distinct flavor that's delicious. Kid loves getting the gelato at the end. Delivery is fine for nearby clifton students, but really doesn't do it justice. Plan ahead to eat there and deal with paid parking + Clifton traffic. Totally worth it. read more

If you went to UC, you might have grown sick of The Bearcat: the pizza offered at each and every meeting/student/campus event. But, probably not. I'm so proud of this place morphing from a (shady?) take out joint next to a dry cleaners to a legit place I want to go-great selection of beer on tap, same great pizza, and a full menu if their pizza isn't your thing (who knew they have a thin crust?). I was concerned that in the move, they would not be successful-either the food, the atmosphere, something; but it seems it's all come together. The atmosphere is great-the patio area features a wall of windows that they open on beautiful fall days. It's also a great place to watch a game or hang out with friends. The service has always been acceptable. The pizza, predictable, and maybe one day I'll try something else. I did notice on a recent visit that they now have a whole case a gelato for dessert. O, and parking. Don't park in the lot next door; but there are few spots reserved for Adriatico's in a lot just past the restaurant. read more

I was always wary about Adriatico's in the beginning, because their bearcat pizzas delivered to school wasn't always that great to me. But eating it there is a totally different experience! It's favorite go-to spot spot for pizza when I am near UC! Any pizza ordered there is always good, and the Sicilian thick crust is the bomb! Crispy and soft, just right! The red sauce is not too acidic and not too sweet. Just how it's suppose to be! All the apps there are phenomenal. Anything fried? Its perfectly crispy and the flavors are perfect. I recommend the fried pickles and their tots! Service is always good and a great selection of beers! read more

Adriatico's - Large Sicilian Crust Pizza with mushrooms, banana peppers, pepperoni, and sausage - Pizza Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

The best and only place to get get good pizza and watch a game in Clifton. Adriatico's has a great selection of items on their menu; it ranges from ravioli to their gigantic signature pizza the Bearcat. I have had there pizza for years while at UC but had no idea where it was located until they opened the new location on Calhoun. The regular pizzas come with a choice of 4 different crust and almost endless toppings. The layout of the restaurant looks more like a pub but suits it well. The massive bar with over 40 rotating taps is upfront and next to it is a large chalkboard showcasing the specials of the day. Next to it are high tables then the seating area wrapping around the restaurant. What really makes the place unique are the large casement windows that go almost from the floor to the cealing. You are basically eating outside which is really cool. There are tv's all over and large projector on one of the walls. Pizza, Beer and Sports you cant really go wrong. read more

Adriatico's - Pizza Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I'm writing this on behalf of my family and from memory of eating this pizza (I have to be gluten free now and cannot eat here sadly). This is some of the absolute best pizza in town! Get the square pizza, it's the best, seriously. So many toppings are offered, pretty quick delivery all considered and they always call when they arrive at your doorstep, and this is one of two go-to places my family likes to get pizza from, especially if there's a gathering or party. There's always coupons in the mailer we get, so be sure to check those out if you've not been before or even if you're a regular. I've not had the subs, znoi's, or pasta, but the breadsticks and mozzarella sticks are a hit with the one kid who doesn't really eat pizza (doesn't like red sauce). The wings are pretty good too. read more

I haven't had this pizza in a while and I forgot just how delicious it is. Their toppings rocks and the crust is top notch but for me it is all about their sauce. I don't know if the secret ingredient is love, or magic, or crack but it does it for me. I want to slather it on every bite. The breadsticks are delicious but the best thing about them is how much sauce the braid lets you get on the breadstick. Make sure you get a few extra side of it. You will want it. Wish they delivered a little farther downtown but I suppose that is best for me. The buffalo chicken egg rolls are pretty delicious too. read more

Ordered delivery while getting drinks with friends at Rhinegeist. First time trying it and was pretty good. In usually not a big fan of new York style pizza but I must admit it was quite tasty. Although I still prefer ROC a fellas over this place it was quite tasty. 2 distinct flavors so you have to try both read more

Adriaticos has some of the best pizza I ever had and I don't understand why more people don't eat it and why they don't open more locations. The new location is great, I love the TVs and the outdoor sitting area. This is a good place to take your friends and share a large pizza with. The largest size is huge (the Bearcat) and can feed like 10 people! I'd recommend to anyone to try it. read more

I had Adriaticos for the first time this weekend after hybernating in my apartment. I didnt feel like going out and was craving a calzone so I stumbled upon Adriatico's Zonis. I'll go ahead and give this a strong "MEH". I ordered on Saturday and Sunday...a second time mostly cuz my bf was craving it. My first zoni was peperoni, mushrooms and green peppers. I found it to be way too greasy and it left me feeling full but not in a good way. Sunday we were feeling lazy again so we opted to get zonis again. This time I did all veggies: mushrooms, green peppers and black olives. Although it was less greasy, it wasnt as toasty. I wasnt too impressed with the marinara sauce either. Overall, its a pricey pizza place based on their menu but a good alternative for quick delivery near a college campus. read more

I have been here a couple times now. It's a great place to stop by for some pizza and beer. If you make it down to the area before an FC Cincinnati game stop by there and have some pizza and beers read more

It's been almost three years since I had this pizza. I've been dying for a reason to grab some take out and finally I was on this side of town. I called in my order ahead to avoid a wait. The man taking my order was nice and we were finished in a matter of minutes. I was told my wait would be 30 min. Not a problem. I popped into the restaurant and was told my order wasn't ready, they were waiting for one more item. Not a problem. About 7 min later food was ready. I had a large square Sicilian with pepperoni. I love the crust! So yummy and packed with garlic! The pizza was a bit colder than it should have been because of the wait for the other item. I also ordered bread sticks with beer cheese. Unfortunately, they gave me fried mozzarella sticks with marinara sauce instead. I should have checked my bag before leaving the store. If my ordered would have been correct they would have had four stars instead of three. Overall, pizza was way better than larosas! So I'm sure I will find my way back to this pizza joint. They also have a very large menu filled with many other items. read more

I've always loved Adriatico's, but after a recent visit it dawned on me just how delicious it truly is. I went with some friends and also took my ultra picky kids. They inhaled what I can only assume was their entire stick of tater tots and a pepperoni pizza. We all killed several orders of garlic knots and ordered individual pizzas which were phenomenal. With all the food I had shoveled into my face, I was unable to finish my pizza. I opted to warm it up the next day for lunch and could not believe how good it was for leftover pizza. I usually hate day old pizza but found that Adriatico's tastes just as good the next day. That is an 6-star quality right there! read more

They must put something in the cheese. I need my Adriaticos fix more frequently than I'd like to say online. It's a problem. This is a message for help. I'm calling in an order after I post this. I can't help myself. I'm gonna do it. read more

The food was delicious and well priced, I purchased a beer that was a little pricy but it was still good. The dining area feels a bit crowded at times and can be a little too loud to hold a conversation with someone across from you. Overall pretty good just a little too cramped and loud when they're busy. read more

Adriaticos is our special treat. So far we've only done carry out. The past two Thursdays we've placed our order before leaving downtown and picked it up on the way to Tunes & Blooms at the zoo. Both time we were able to easily find a parking spot out front. The food was ready when we arrived. Both trips we got a large pizza half cheese and half pepperoni with breadsticks and cheese. The large was too much for three people. We finished most of it when we had five people. The also gave us plates and napkins to take to the zoo. On our most recent trip they had the front windows open. I can't wait to dine in someday. read more

Worst service. Asked if there was bar seating and the host told me to go look instead of looking herself. Took 3 minutes to be acknowledged, never upsold on a beverage. They dont put sausage in calzones because "its not cooked so it wont be cooked fully", but they put it on pizzas? Ordered a salad. Honestly the saddest excuse for a salad. Romaine. FRESH white onions. Banana peppers. No cheese. Nothing else. Like what? Why? Who let you make this a thing? I picked a handful of old lettuce out too. It came with crackers. I. DONT. GET. IT. Then my glass was empty, but the gossip and practicing tossing a towel in the air( to impress the waitress of said gossip) was more important. We even made obvious eye contact 3 times!!! Worst service ever. Let me just say, like the couple beside me agreed, they're lucky the pizza is good. read more

Sub par customer service and ok food. Zoni, their version of a calzone, was burned on the outside. I left wishing I had picked another place to eat. Won't be back. read more

I placed an order for pick up & went to pick up my order. Got all the way home, 20 minutes away and realized they gave me someone else's order. I called & spoke with a nice lady, don't know her name. She stated that the manager would refund me If I did not want to come back out to pick it up. Its 930 pm. I called back to get the managers name to write down just in case I didn't see my refund in the time frame they gave me. This time I got a rude guy, he stated "the manager name is Tyler (while yelling it at me) & he doesn't want to talk to you." This person over the phone was VERY rude. I am very upset! & they just lost a customer! read more

I love the food here at Adriatico's but I highly suggest getting takeout. The service is absolutely terrible. I had one of the most unprofessional waiters I've ever experienced. He eavesdropped on our conversation about professors and then proceeded to make some stupid joke about "I'm sorry russ" all over our receipt. When we confronted what this meant he never apologized just said that "it doesn't mean anything". So weird. Avoid eating in. And avoid this server "Thomas B." unless you enjoy your personal conversations being commented on. read more

Adriatico's - Pizza Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I've been eating at Adriatico's for over 10 years and have always loved the pizza and the great service. After living farther than 20 mins from the Restaurant I stopped in today and everything I ordered was great. Staff was friendly, my pizza didn't take long to make, and everything was great. With all the mess of what the govs and drug companies have been doing to families and family businesses I'm glad Adriatico's is still there and doing well. THANKS AGAIN!!! read more

Old school high quality pizza. This is the pizza we go for the most. The reason is: it's very good, and a good value for what you get, and they deliver. That's why it gets five stars. Some other places like Dewey's and A Tavola also make good pizza, but Adriatico's is a better value IMO. The sauce is uncommonly spicy, which may or may not be to your liking. My favorite is the Sicilian crust pepperoni mushroom! read more

I'd have to say I preferred the chicken bacon ranch pizza over the pepperoni and bacon pizza which it's usually the other way around at most pizza joints. The only reason I'm taking my time out to write this post is oh my God the buffalo chicken egg rolls are to die for!!! read more

Wow! Can't thank you enough Ben! At 2 in the morning you were kind, gracious, and delivered one of the best subs and salads I ever had to our hotel room when no one else was available! :) Everything was fresh, delicious, and way more than we expected. read more

Adriatico's - Chef's salad! :) So yummy! - Pizza Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Neat place. Weird parking. The two giant front windows open up when the weather is right, bringing the outdoors in. I'm from New York and I always do a plain cheese pizza as a first review. The Sicilian pizza is their signature, but it's not quite as thick and airy as N.Y. Sicilian. With that said, Adriatico's sauce is to write home about. It's a bit spicy and surely compliments some of their other offerings, making it a go to restaurant. Crust = 8.0 Cheese = 8.4 Sauce = 8.8 Final Food Score = 8.4 (Very Good) read more

Awesome deep-dish pizza, awesome beer selection, and great appetizers. It gets a little crowded because of its small space and can have a long wait at peak times because it's a so popular. Of all the pizzas from Cincinnati, this is the only one that I've actually missed. read more

If you are ever in Cincinnati for a weekend or if you live there, go visit Adriaticos. Don't walk. Run! The pizza and wings are phenomenal! The bartenders Russell and Joe will treat you right! read more

One of my favorite pizza places in the area. I feel the tomato sauce is one of the biggest differences from other places. They use really good pizza sauce with a small kick to it on the pizza. read more

best pizza I've had since moving to Cincinnati from New Jersey. Excellent service and the sauce is out of this world. Get Sicilian or gtfo.

This place is awful. I've eaten here a number of times with friends and the food is decent but the management here sucks. They are cocky and confrontational when you have issues. Do not recommend it. read more

Their thick, Sicilian style pizza is fantastic and will definitely fill you up. I also highly recommend the buffalo chicken egg rolls. Been coming here for a while now and haven't had a bad meal. This is the Bearcat Pizza, shared with a total of 6 people. Pepperoni and sausage read more

Oh my gosh, I've never had pizza like this anywhere else. The pepperonis are huge and the pizza slices are also huge. Amazing pizza, amazing service and amazing atmosphere. Just thinking about it makes me want more Adriatico's read more

I love this pizza place! I have never eaten inside but pick up orders haven't caused any problems. I love the Sicilian crust that is offered at no additional charge! The wait is almost always 30 mins so I just call ahead of time ! I tell everyone about this new gem I found. read more

This place is definitely a college eatery. Pizza, beer, wings, and tater tots!! What more do you need in a college town?! There is a private parking lot but it is small and have to pass the restaurant and look for a small sign to know where it is. On the bright side, I haven't had problems parking there. If you want to have quiet time and the place to yourself, come around 230-5 in weekdays. Very slow during this time. I enjoyed it very much. They have a large variety of beers and quite a few of local beers. I did get the tater tots but I guess I'm out of that college era of liking them. I mean, come on! Tots with cheese and bacon and getting it half off due to happy hour?! What more can a girl want! Been a long while since I had them. Did Bring back great memories when I was a student at UC but I have grown and want a bit more tastier food which was the amazing pizza!! So fresh and delicious!! Wish they would deliver to Northern KY! The staff here is really attentive and nice. So nice to see hard working staff with great customer service. Keep it up! read more

The pizza is horrible. Adriaticos use to have the best pizza when Buzzy ownwd the place, but then a different guy bought it amd ruined the entire name. I would not recommend this place. read more

Visiting from about of town. Adriatico's had a great chicken pesto pizza. I could taste the fresh ingredients on that pizza and the salad I ordered. I'm not a craft beer person but tried some anyway, I was surprised at how good the flavor was. I come to Cin a few times a year and will make this a regular stop for sure. Just have to decide what to get next! read more
