To my surprise I never knew there was an Augies in Independence. I stopped here to get my hubby a late night treat. He grew up eating Augies pizza from the original spot in Warrensville Heights when it was owned by the D'Aminico's. Since that Augies has new ownership he said the place and the pizza is a "hot mes".. If you go to Augies website all the other stores claim no relationship with the Warrensville pizzeria (HINT HINT). When we moved to Streetsboro he was elated to find there was an Augies in South Russell owned by Mr. & Mrs. Jenks. He was even more excited when he found out I went to school with one of Jenks daughters and son in law. Its been a while since patroning Augies because my husband's favorite pizzeria is Angelos in Lakewood and he's willing to burn gas and rubber on that hour long trek to get his pizza. So I ordered his usual as I usually do. Medium, regular crust, light sauce, light onion, pepperoni, sausage, well done. It looks like an Augies pizza but his taste buds will be the ultimate judge. I took a picture. Update 3/8/2014: The old man approves of his Augies pizza. Thank Goodness. It's hard work trying to keep the hungry spouse well feed. read more

Augie's Pizza and Ribs - Medium regular crust, xtra sausage, pepperoni, light onion, light sauce, well done - Pizza Near Me - Independence, Ohio

Sauce on spaghetti is thick but not to tasty, more bland, below average pasta and pizza, if you order here you need to rethink and a frozen pizza from supermarket a better choice and as far as pasta, go see chef Boiardee! read more

There pizza is awesome . My favorite is the Regular. It's a must try!! Staff is great as well read more

This review is for a catered lunch of pizza at my workplace. We ordered a few of each: cheese, pepperoni, and supreme. I trier one of each and have to day that the supreme pizza was the winner here. The toppings were diverse and plentiful although I enjoyed gorging myself on all the pizza. My problem is with the price (as I was the one who ordered it for my office) for what is essentially a Digornio's pizza. At nearly 20 bucks a pie, you would expect something special or unique or even flavorful. You don't find anything special in these. Just large pizzas meant to feed a large group of hungry people. The cheese was thick and I suppose the sauce was nice but the bread tasted like any frozen pizza you find at a Walmart. read more

We ordered a large pepperoni pizza, a large socrates pizza, a medium cheese pizza, and 5 chicken wings. The order total was $63.55 after we applied a $4 off coupon. The Socrates pizza was ~$27, which was very expensive for the value we were getting. The cheese on our pizza kept falling off, and the large pepperoni pizza turned out to be a large cheese pizza, which was a letdown. Overall, the quality of our food was much lower than what we were used to in comparison to other Augie locations. Since there was a mistake in the order, I called them back, and I was given a voucher from the owner to use for the wrong pizza, which was nice. They said they would write down my info, and when I called back, they would be able to see the amount and my name so I could apply for the voucher. When I called back 4 days later to use the voucher, the lady on the phone was incredibly rude. Her behavior worsened my experience and made me consider writing a negative review. She told me to write whatever I wanted and immediately hung up on me. Overall, the other Augie's location in North Royalton stands out with its friendlier customer service and significantly higher quality food. Given this stark contrast, I would strongly advise potential customers to steer clear of this place. read more

Great pizza and service. Always cheesy and the sauce is awesome ! The staff is always nice

Pizza is not that great, toppings are not the best quality, cheese is ok. Not a great crisp to the pizza and the cheese bread was terrible, it's just melted cheese on a sub bun???? I have never seen that before and you only get on piece per order read more

First be careful where you look up the prices for this place. Look strictly on their website if you look on Google the prices are completely different. When I got to the store to pick up The food for me in a few coworkers I ended up paying about $10 more than I had planned on. This has nothing to do with the business or my rating just a tip. I do have a few negatives for this business though honestly. First they offer delivery but their delivery hours are all over the place. I called to order a pizza at 2:30 and they said that was not during the delivery hours. I've never heard of a place that offers delivery but had strict hours for when they actually deliver. Apparently they deliver for lunch service and for dinner service. They don't specify this anywhere unless you call. They even have a light up sign on their front door that says "we deliver". I just feel like it's a little bit misleading. Second thing is to be honest the staff was not very friendly or welcoming. The last thing is this place is almost impossible to find in the plaza there sign is so tiny I passed it twice. I got there George W pizza which is like a barbecue chicken pizza. It was interesting but really good. The barbecue sauce with sweet and spicy which I really liked. The thing is it was pretty expensive $13 for a small pizza and I don't feel like there were that many toppings on it. I have had their plane pepperoni pizza before. My work has ordered it I'm not a huge fan I don't like their pizza sauce but that's just I personal preference. I do like their crust though. They have crust like they make at a home style pizzeria. Overall I'm not really sure if I would order from here again there are a lot of other lunch/dinner options in the area. read more

Augie's Pizza and Ribs - Small George W pizza - Pizza Near Me - Independence, Ohio

absolute horrible pizza. I literally don't understand how this place can be in business. disgusting congealed cheese that doesn't stretch or even peel...it's one large crappy piece of mozarella. Uncooked Pepperoni that is maybe salami or some other garbage meat. It took almost 1.5 hours to get food delivered that was ordered at 5:45 and was only traveling 0.8 miles away. NOT EVEN A FULL MILE FROM YOUR PLACE... Edit: Changing from one star to two because the boneless wings were pretty good re-heated the next morning. read more

After a long day at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Cleveland Zoo, we wanted to grab something and go back to our hotel and relax. We decided to go to a local pizza place and we were not disappointed. We got a deal, a large 1-topping pizza, wings, and a 2-liter. We got a pepperoni pizza and garlic parmesan boneless wings. The pizza looked and smelled amazing. We had to wait a bit to eat it due to some issues with our room keys, but even cooled off it was amazing food! They even offered us plates, napkins, and cups which were very helpful. Thank you all for the awesome service and food! read more

This pizza was edible ish was expecting more for the insane price we paid for such regular quality pizza. This is the same pizza that was served in highschool on the bad pizza days. Its almost the same as a frozen pizza at Walmart but a tier below that . It was edible for the most part but the cheese was thick and not in a good way and the sauce was barely there, not even enough to keep the cheese together as one bit would rip ur whole cheese rubber off completely it wasnt very melted either had the same texture as leather or rubber. Not sire about the service or ambiance as we ordered to go. read more

This is my favorite go to for lunch. They sell pizza by the slice so my husband and I go every Monday. The staff is beyond friendly and customer service is top notch. I mentioned to them I had their white pizza one day and they remembered that 2 weeks later and now make it every Monday. You don't get service like that many other places. The pizza being delicious is just an added bonus. If I could give more stars I would. read more

Find another place. The person behind the counter was using their fingernails to lift the pizza to cut the slices, and handling money and touching the food after. Not a way to run a business. read more

Mid-tier pizza. I would get it again but it isn't anything special. Sauce and cheese were great but the crust/dough tasted frozen or just very basic read more

We had a $100 order. The pizza crust was nasty. I had 5 people all tell me something tastes wrong with the crust and I agree. It tasted very yeasty and old. The crust didn't expand like it usually does and had a funny yeasty aftertaste. My guess is that it was old. We ordered 2 orders of breadsticks with cheese and they just gave us normal breadsticks. Do better Augies. Until further notice I will be ordering from the North Royalton location where I never received a bad meal. read more

Holy Moly!! I know there is a shortage of vital supplies in the world because of COVID, but I didn't realize it meant Augies pizza toppings!!! Augies toppings are THE WORST. If you order pepperoni or sausage or veggies, be prepared to see literally a scant offering of pepperoni, sausage, and veggies. Remember the soup nazi on seinfeld? Well....if you order toppings here...it will be worse. Total rip off when you pay $2.50 a topping for a large and theres nothing on it. The North Royalton Augies is a much better bargain. They actually give you toppings that you pay for. I HATE WRITING THIS REVIEW! Why? Because the pizza is GREAT!!! Just stop being so stingy! It's not like we are paying Little Ceasars prices here! read more

I used to live right by this place and tried it 2 or 3 times. I'm actually surprised with the positive reviews. It's pretty mediocre. The only thing cool about them is that you have the option to order by the slice. That is something that sets them apart from most pizza places around NE Ohio. The pizza could be much better though. It's bland and tastes cheap. read more

Love it! Heather at Angie's pizza is the beat! She kindly customized my order and had it ready when we arrived! And the pizza is delicious! read more

I feel like if you're Italian you're gonna wanna pass on this one. If you're picky, and don't like a lot of seasoning, this place might appeal to you. They do put a TON of cheese on this pizza, so thats nice for sure. I was in a bind from it being late at night and needing food at the hotel. Just grateful for food I guess but the Italian in me is strugglin read more

So we are from out of town. We came here and ordered a medium pizza to go. Mind you we paid about 20 bucks for a medium pizza and waited about 40 minutes to get our pizza, came back to our hotel and boom this is what got, I was beyond pissed and it was already closing time for us to go back, the people there are really nice but the service is horrible. Order at your own risk you have been warned. read more

Ordered a large pizza for delivery while out of town and when the receptionist at my hotel told me that Augie's was a good pizza, she under sold it. Ordered a large 3 topping with thin crust, well done. It could have been a little more well done for my taste but honestly I like my pizza almost burnt. Plenty of cheese and toppings for each slice and just a great taste. When I ordered the employee who took my ordered had said that it would be around an hour to an hour and a half before the pizza arrived. I am out of town and options so I figured I would wait it out. The pizza arrived in 45 minutes and was smoking hot. First time ordering Augie's pizza and I can say confidently that I will order again when in town. Just a great slice. read more

We have had pizza all over the country since we travel a lot. My son is VERY picky about his minimalist cheese only pizzas. He stated, after several bites, that this was the best cheese pizza he had ever tasted!!! We all tried a bite and we all agreed. In fact, we live in Michigan and he wanted to take another pizza home with him. The ladies behind the counter were super busy but very nice. We ordered to go and a small pizza took 15 min. I had not read other reviews before and I'm not sure why they rated it low. We sometimes have sports competitions in the area and we will definitely be back!! read more

I had the pizza by the slice for lunch. I was pretty good and definitely satisfying. Normally I'm a fan of big floppy pieces of new York style pizza, but this was not too shabby, close to work and very affordable. Would eat again. read more

This was so damn nasty! I spent my money I am still mad. Barely no cheese on pizza. The lady added cheese with her hands when it came out the oven. This place definitely went down over the years. I will not return ever again. read more

Had their ribs and they were good, but cold. I ordered and picked up and live 5 mins away but the ribs were cold! They were good though when I reheated them. Their chicken tenders and the sauce is amazing. Can't get enough of that sauce read more

UPDATED Review: Get extra cheese - it's really good. Super thick, although they do charge extra for it. Also LOVE their house salad dressing. Another plus for me is that you can order the wings plain with sauce on the side, so if you have people that like different sauces, it makes it easier to mix and match. The food is solid. The only problem is their service level. They have these coupons and they post them on their website. Currently, they only allow you to use them if you print them out. In this mobile world, who does that? The thing is that the coupons actually don't say you have to print them out! It says they either must be presented or mentioned at the time of order. Only mentioning is not good enough - even though that is what the coupon states! False advertising? Frankly, there are other pizza places that have just as good pizza, but have better a better service level. read more

I was staying at a hotel in Independence, in town a night early for a wedding. Needed something to eat and didn't want suburbia chain food. Ordered a deluxe mini pizza (not on the menu but they were nice enough to make one for me), fried ravioli, spicy garlic wings, Italian calzone, and side salad. Pizza was good, not great. Toppings were incredibly fresh and high quality but sauce and crust were just OK. Calzone was very good. Perfect balance of pastry vs. filling and a good-sized filling. Fried ravioli was bland and a bit lifeless, even with marinara or ranch. Wings - spicy garlic sauce was recommended by the staff and the sauce was excellent. Wings themselves were OK. Salad was meh... just a lot of iceberg, some shredded cheese, 4 olives and 2-3 grape tomatoes. Ma's Italian dressing was OK -- a bit sweet. Service was friendly but a bit slow -- it was nice of them to make a deluxe in mini-size for me. Ambience is just a very plain lunch counter type place in a strip mall. They do pizza by the slice for lunch on weekdays for nearby offices -- might be a good quick option. All in all a decent non-chain alternative for a quick take-out or eat-in meal. read more

Very good food amd good people. Health inspector came in while i was there and said that they always do very well. So eat their pizza people!!!!! read more

The pizza is greasy and weighs a ton. Two pluses. The slices are small, but again, they are dense. I also like how the toppings "look" and how they are incorporated into the slice. They're not just piled on top, ready to fall off. Nor are they completely hidden underneath the cheese (a la Teresa's). It's perfect. Just had a plain, now slowly but surely getting my way (weigh) through a mushroom. Great pizza!!! I am digging this sauce. The cheese is great; however, I could never see ordering extra cheese because there seems to be an abundance of it already. Nice people here too! read more

I was at the Independence site 2 weeks ago on a Friday afternoon. I was shocked, no hair coverings at all. AND EVERYONE, EVERYONE was applying items on pizzas with their bare hands. No person had on gloves at all. My food had already been ordered and paid for. It was not pizza. But after observing their process, I will not patronize them again. read more

I have to say that watching Restaurant Impossible and Bar Rescue has opened my eyes on how filthy some bars and eateries are these days. The first thing I noticed about Augie's was the dirty air duct ABOVE the area where pizza sits (see picture below). This is the sort of thing that floats down onto the food. This also shows a complete lack of attention to detail by management. Second, I noticed underneath the hotpad where display pizza sits was incredibly dirty. Bugs would definitely be attracted to that. What is infuriating is it would take all of a minute to wipe down with bleach/water. Now onto the pizza...it was terrible to say the least. Heavy and lacking in cheese and other toppings. The crust was slightly burnt and hard. Not to mention I paid over $16 for a "large" pizza which looked more like a medium from Domino's. I felt completely ripped off. In a time when money is tight, I would highly recommend you stay away from this place. The dirt alone is reason to believe their food is not safe. Then when you actually taste the pizza it becomes clear - - they are not concerned with producing a quality produce which makes people come back. I predict this place will be closed within a year. NOTE: The paint job in the place is nice as is the floor. But don't let that fool you. Look BEHIND the counter and then judge. Newspapers were all over the counters and the cooking area was messy. Not good signs. I hope management reads this and does something about it. Otherwise their business will slowly wither away and they will close. read more

simple, good, fast pizza. Typically order for lunch at work and never had a bad experience.

Augie's offers an item on the menu called BBQ Sampler. It includes 1/3 rack of ribs, 6 wings, & cole slaw for $10.95. I got it to go and was disappointed when I opened it up to see there were only 5 small and in no way jumbo wings. I dug into the ribs and found that they were as tasty as they were tender. Definitely a thumbs up on the ribs. The wings were nicely done with a good balance of heat and flavor. The slaw had a nice creamy texture and was a perfect compliment to the ribs and wings. This rating would have been 5 stars had there been 6 wings in the box. I'll definitely go back to Augie's on Rockside Rd. read more

Love this pizza! I had heard really great things about this place for a while, so I had been very eager to check it out! You have the choice to order ahead or they also sell usually a few different types of pizzas that you can just go in and order in store by the slice- which is usually what I try to do. It seems like it's consistently pretty busy but the staff is always working hard to make sure it's all flowing smoothly. The few different pizzas I've had were very tasty and they do a great job with making sure every slice is super cheesy! I'll always go here when i'm in the area! read more

The pizza had zero flavor at all. There was barely any sauce. It was mainly dough and really thick chewy cheese. It took over an hour to get our pizza so I wouldn't rave about any part of Augie's. I do not recommend them at all. read more

LOVE this place. I work nearby and needed a lunch for our shop crew. They scrambled to put together a really nice lunch for us. The chicken wings are pronominal! This is not the first time we've used Augies for our lunches and it won't be the last. Thanks Augies for the excellent service and yummy eats. read more

Not bad pizza, just not that good. They say they won best sauce in Cleveland, but I would have to disagree. It wasn't that flavourful, which is the same I would say for the crust. On a good note, the cheese is pretty good, on the other hand they are extremely stingy with the toppings, which were mediocre anyhow. They are very friendly, and its not a huge chain, so I'd definatly go here before one of the lame corporations, but there are better choices, some of them very close-by. read more

Cleveland is a decent food town and has enough Italian heritage to know good pizza. Why places like Augie's are propped up as a positive pizza experience is inexplicable. I had a slice of black olive. It is incredibly cheap and you get what you pay for. Excessive grease on a pizza is the sign of low cost, low quality cheese. Augie's clearly falls into that category. The sauce has little discernible flavor and the canned black olive slices resemble the flavor of the material of the can. You should know better Cleveland. This is the pizza equivalent of Taco Bell. Don't waste the calories here. read more

Great pizza - order it frequently for the office. Conveniently located off the freeway on Rockside Road. Meat Lovers pizza is my favorite.
