I debated giving 3 or 4 stars... but after being told the wait was 30-40 mins max... but waiting 1.5 hours... I think 3 was deserved sadly! I personally think this place would be better as a reservation only so that people weren't waiting hours to eat & waisting their time! Besides that, the food was yummy! We started with drinks... a modelo for him & a glass of the red wine of the day for me (you have to either buy a bottle or if you want 1 glass you have to pick between their daily choice of red or white wine) We started with the wonderbread and picked the chili garlic crisp to pair it with. This was phenomenal, but will say it might be spicy for some!! We decided on the pink pizza - spicy vodka sauce base, basil, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and chili flakes!!! It was delicious- sad we only got 3 pieces each but it was a good pizza!!! Kinda New York style with the thinner crust!! The vibes were cool and the staff was nice (especially our server- he was peppy and helpful) BUT...Sadly I don't think I will be back here for a while due to the wait times... maybe as take out!? read more

Brooklyn meets CLE! This is the vibe I felt when entering and dining here. Visiting from NYC, I was curious about the pizza scene at Cents. Funky, retro vibes in a cozy intimate setting. Great spot for small groups or date night. They have a back patio open in the summer too! It gets busy so go early on a weeknight. The pizza was excellent! Wood fired goodness! We ordered a few pink, green, and white pizzas to share, deep house salad, pickle party, tiramisu, and spumoni. The pink pizza was my favorite! The pickle party looks simple but surprisingly good! Deep house salad was fresh. Save room because the desserts are a must! We had some leftover pizza between five people. I'd suggest not saving because the pizza tastes best when fresh. A day later and not as good. Street parking available. Restrooms available and no stairs to access the restaurant. Hope to check out the patio one day! Some of the best pizza in Cleveland! read more

Great place for small parties but not built to accommodate more than 4, making seating awkward for our family of 7. Pizzas, however, are stellar with several unique pies. I enjoyed a pie that featured cream cheese, red onions, capers and speck. Spectacular pairings though a simple white sauce might be better. Ordinary pies were extraordinary. Cocktails rock too. Don't sleep on the puffy bread, it's the best. Staff were awesome. read more

Small place with big good things. There's some parking around the area, the restaurant is small, but it is such a cool place. Inside is funky, cool, and has a really cool vibe but the music is a bit too loud and with the conversations happening, it's a lot. Their wait is very long, we came on Sunday, about 30 mins after opening and waited a little over an hour. We got their Wonder Bread with butter and it was absolutely delicious. However, the price for the bread and butter is a bit expensive. We got the Pink with sausage and Gravy pizza. The Pink was phenomenal and very good. The Gravy was good but it does not have the typical layer of cheese and it was definitely missing in that taste. Overall, very good, made well, and quality food. Staff was very nice and helpful! They have outdoor seating but because we came during the cold season, it wasn't open. I think it would be nice during the warmer months. I would come back because their food is pretty good. I would make sure to come at a better time to have a better wait time. I would recommend for a casual date, good pizza, and cool vibes. read more

Amazing experience, service and food. I've tried 3 times to go here and finally made it in, tried everything the Caesar and the pink pizza were my favorite along with the MIZU drink! The staff is lovely, one male overheard me in between 2 drinks and he brought me over a small taster of the drink with garnish and all and it was delicious and so thoughtful! Ambiance is so cool and different i will definitely be coming back if I can ever get back in!:) read more

One of the best pizzas I have ever had!!! Wait time for 2 was 45 minutes on a Saturday night after putting our names down. I tried the deep salad which I found to be bitter and vinegary, maybe it was just the greens that day but also I wish there was a little less dressing. The pink pizza was out of this world and so nicely spiced. Dessert was spumoni using ice cream from masons creamery. Phenomenal. I'm dreaming about when I can go back to this place!! read more

updating my review to 5 stars. Probably my fav pizza in Cleveland! they have really expanded their menu with several more vegetarian options. My favorite is the pink pizza which has the most flavorful vodka sauce. Additionally rh cocktail menu has been revamped. Also the wonder bread is a MUST. It's so fluffy and perfectly salty. Try it with the straticella. You won't regret it! you might have to wait during the weekends but it's more than worth it. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the menu read more

Cent's is hands down my favorite place for pizza. The salads and cocktails are amazing also. They don't take reservations so we usually have a wait. This time we were seated right away. In the warmer months they have indoor and outdoor seating. The decor is fun and whimsical. The staff are very friendly and organized. You can tell they work well as a team. They usually play old movies in a screen near the bar. It is also fun to browse the retail area when you are waiting. They have some unusual finds. read more

Came here for a date night and it did not disappoint. It was my date's second time here and my first time here. For an appetizer, we got the Wonder Bread - we had to try it as newbies and I am SO glad we did!!! It was heaven! We got both the butter and chili garlic crisp with it. I recommend getting both and mixing them together to drip the bread in! Our server let us in on that for more flavor! For entrees, we got two pizzas - the "Pink" pizza (I added ricotta on top) and the "Gorf" pizza. The pizzas were both served warm, delicious, and flavorful. I was so shocked to see a pizza with vodka sauce on it - YOU NEED TO TRY THE PINK PIZZA!!! Cents took #1 pizza spot from this visit. read more

It was our first visit to Cents and it didn't disappoint. We ordered the Papa sausage pizza and the Mushroom pizza. Both were great. I also had the Spa Water Spritz cocktail and it was as also amazing and refreshing. Water was very informative and nice. Ambiance is kind of quirky but it all works. I was afraid chair was going to be uncomfortable but it was quite comfortable. read more

So fun! Definitely not quiet or super bright in the dining area but such a super cute and fun vibe for a dinner with friends. Service was absolutely fantastic, our server walked us through the menu, gave suggestions, and even gave other restaurant recommendations! He was great. Pizza was delish! More of a New York style which I enjoy, the pink pizza and the pepp pizza were both great. Pepp definitely has some spice but it's the nice cup pepperonis. Pink was out of this world delicious. We also ordered the wonder bread, which was good, not your traditional bread (it's a big hollow puff that you tear apart) but very tasty and salty. Came with butter and chili oil, both good although the chili oil could have been spicier. Finally, the straciatella was awesome! Very stringy like it should be, well seasoned, and went well with the pepp pizza to cool it down! read more

I wish I could give this place a 6 star review from how amazing the entire experience was. We sat at the counter and got to watch the pizzas made fresh, and our bartender/server was so friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. They were also extremely accommodating to a dairy allergy and truly the pizza was so good it didn't even need cheese. The atmosphere is perfect for a date night or to split some pizzas with friends. read more

Adding Cents Pizza to my top 5 favorite pizza places in Cleveland! Came here around 6:30 PM on a Saturday evening. It was a 30 minute wait so we walked around the block and got seated at the bar! Ordered the Shroom Pizza (add Speck), the Pink (add meatballs) and the Caesar salad. Shroom pizza was delicious and the spicy vodka sauce on the Pink was delicious! The Caesar was okay, it was slightly bitter because they used Kale but overall the vibes and food were amazing!! read more

Saw that this place was one of the top rated pizza places in Cleveland, so my partner and I decided to check it out. Small little restaurant, but despite coming at peak dinner time (7pm?) the wait wasn't too long. The vibes inside were super nice. Pizza is the main dish here (of course), but Cent's has a variety of different appetizers for you to choose from. Definitely a great choice for a night out, and would definitely come again. read more

Cent's makes an extremely compelling case for the best pizza in Cleveland. We tried the Pepp Pizza with added Italian sausage (pictured) and Pink Pizza (not pictured). The restaurant itself is very small, and difficult to get a seat at. But it's fun and jazzy on the inside (the playlist specifically was really very good). That being said, the star, of course, was the pizza. The meat pizzas were as hearty as the picture indicates (sport peppers add a nice kick) but the real star was the Pink Pizza (no picture taken--we ate it too fast). Vodka sauce on a pie is simply inspired, and a must-try for any Cleveland food fan. read more

We were greeted promptly and told there would be a 30 minute wait and were offered a drink while we waited. Turned out to be about a 10 minute wait! We started with the wonder bread 10/10 salty chewy and so I recommend the garlic butter. Next came the Cesar salad. I didn't read the description and didn't notice they used kale instead of romaine. Typically hate kale but their Cesar dressing was good so it wasn't a total loss 5.7/10. Finally the pizza. I had the Pep first. Pepperonis themselves were great. Dough was chewy soft and delicious. Sauce and cheese were bland and really didn't bring much to the pizza. If it wasn't for the pepperoni this pizza would have been a failure. But the pepperoni was so good 7.6/10. There were hot peppers on it also which were nice. Didn't get much flavor from those. Second pizza was the white pizza. It was cheesy. I liked the ricotta but the garlic sauce wasn't garlicky. I didn't get any "parm" cheese. I say that because I assume it's not Parmesan reggiano. It was fine 6.7/10. If this place wasn't in a bad area and closer to where I lived I'd probably go again but not worth the 20 minute drive and risk of my car being broken into. read more

I'm from NY so I know great pizza but every time I visit Cleveland, Cent's is at the top of my list. Not only is the thin-crust pizza amazing, but they make fabulous cocktails and have a top notch selection of wines by the bottle. Caesar salad is delicious and so is the bread. Great staff, fun atmosphere. It's really as good as it could be - a pizza place that's also cool and sophisticated. Go early if you want to eat in vs takeout because it fills up fast. read more

This place is excellent! I stopped in with a friend for a quick weeknight dinner. We shared the Papa-- it had a tomato sauce base, hot peppers, sausage, and mozz. The dough was amazing! The right amount of chew and the right balance of toppings. The vibes in Cent's are top notch. The orangey-red counters are an elevated version of the classic pizza shop. They also have a very well curated shop of tinned fish and many wines. Cannot wait to return. Thanks, Cent's! read more

Great experience in a super unique atmosphere and format. We had to wait a bit for a seat but it wasn't a big deal as we were able to browse the wine selection and eclectic array of merchandise with cocktails in hand. My "Olive's Dirty" martini - black and red pepper-infused Watershed gin with the brine from their olive dish - and my wife's "Bandito" - a delicious chile-infused mezcal with two Amari and lemon juice - were excellent, very much in line with LBM, Cloak, or Porco. We were waiting for a friend and when spots at the bar opened up we snagged them - really recommend the bar because of the direct view on the kitchen and you can watch the kitchen at work. Staff, from the bartenders to the owner to the gentleman who recommended our wine, were all pleasant and knowledgeable. All of our food was phenomenal - the stracciatella was so good it made me cry - seriously if you go you must have this. It came served as a loaf of "wonder bread" with a mass of mozzarella in cream in a separate bowl... we took small bits of bread, tore them open to make small pockets, pinched off globs of mozzarella, dipped in chili sauce, and....heaven. The kale Caesar and endive + frisée salads also fantastic, and then the Shroom and Pepp pizzas. Might be the best pizza in Cleveland. Honest. But if you don't trust me there were chefs there from three other well known area restaurants (it was a Monday, all at different tables) so if those guys are going there on their day off you know it's a thing. Can't wait to go back. read more

Stopped in here when I was visiting friends one night. Had a decent wait time on a Saturday (45min). We just got a drink from the bar and hung around waiting in the little sitting area. We got sat at the patio which was quite a pleasant area. On to what matters, the food! Service was fair for how busy they seemed. We started with the stracciatella with some chili oil which was great. Then followed that up with the Mr. White which was phenomenal and by far our favorite. Would 100% get that again. Second pizza we got was the papa. Pretty good but not a necessity. Overall def recommend. Had some unique cocktails also. read more

We arrived at 5:30 on Saturday and the wait was 1.5 hours. We put our name down and went down the street to a bar to have a drink. We got there an hour later and had a table in the back. Disco lights (which I found distracting) and small tables. Should have been a table for four but we squeezed in six. Caleb, our waiter, was helpful and knowledgeable. 10/10 for him! Beers, wine and some wonder bread later and we were happy. Some in our group were uncomfy in their stool/chairs, but didn't complain (much). The strachiatella was delicious with the bread. One in our group had the trout with chips and it looked interesting but I didn't get a bite. Finally, the pizzas! Green pizza, cherry pizza and pepperoni pizza. I am only reviewing the pepperoni as this is what I am doing at every pizza place. Plenty of pepperoni, spicy, crispy and curled up in the edges. Thin crust. Perfectly baked. I could not love it more. $20 price point which is reasonable. On my top three pepperoni pizzas list in Cleveland! Downsides. No separate checks. Uncomfy seating. Outside seating is like a prison yard. Come on folks- add some plants! Or paint the block wall. But the pizza... that is what I would come back for every time!! read more

Paid Cent's an overdue visit after hearing so many good things about it and was not disappointed! First of all, the decor/music/overall vibe is super cool. It's giving retro, 60s, disco vibes. The service is great as well. The pizza itself is made to order and delicious. We got the Mr. White, which was our favorite, and the Papa, which we felt could have been salted more and was a little overdone. The tiramisu was good as well, but nothing to write home about. Overall, I had a great time at Cent's and will definitely be back to try more of their pizzas. Note: their decor features are huge framed sign that says "cash only", but they do in fact accept card payment. read more

Cent's is aesthetically perfect. I can't even believe someone nailed the design so hard. The gift/wine shop that functions as a waiting area is a nice touch. I'll be stopping in next time I need something cool to bring to a friend. If you want to purchase a bottle of wine from the front there's a $20 corkage fee. The prices weren't terribly high even with the fee, but we went with cocktails anyway. Both drinks that we had were somewhat savory (one with ancho reyes, one with rosemary) and that seemed to be consistent with the rest of the spirits menu. Beers (with the exception of Bud Heavy) are cans. There were also a few non-beers (a seltzer, cider and kombucha). Our server helpfully provided the run down of the snack menu. She said not to skip the Wonder Bread and that was very wise advice. I would come back solely for the Wonder Bread and butter. We also got the 'Njuda, which is a warm spicy pork spread, and the Fontina vs. Fontinella. For the main event we went with the Cherry Pie. Luxardo cherries...on a pizza (!!!) On this day they subbed pepperoni for hot sopressata so it didn't have the heat I was expecting, however the addition of chili flakes did the trick. The pizzas are approximately 12 inches and 6 pieces. After the Wonder Bread and snacks, we still had a couple slices to take home between two of us. I can't wait to come back and try another pizza. Might come real hungry and double up on the Wonder Bread. They have a small patio area, and I'm looking forward to seeing what they make of it in warm weather. Thank you Cent's for helping lead the way on creating a Lorain business corridor! read more

Cents joins the list of a bunch of great restaurants and businesses that popped up alone Lorain Ave within the past 10 years. I still miss The Grocery that was located beside my BBQ place, I loved grabbing BBQ from SmoQ'ed and then a nice peanut butter smoothie from the grocery. Cents Pizza is great! Very thin crust pizza which isn't too greasy or heavy. There is also a new smoothie spot nearby that I am going to try next time! Ohio City is really kickin into gear! read more

The food is amazing. Cherry Pizza - necessary. Wonder Bread - necessary. Tinned Fish Service - necessary. Neat wine collection delicately curated by the owners and served with love.

Pizza was good, but certainly not worth the wait or wasting 3 hours of your Saturday. We waited 1.5 hours to be seated and 1 hour for our 2 pizzas. We ordered at the same time as the table next to us, and they finished 2 pizzas before ours came out. The staff checked in, but there was no apology or acknowledgement of the inconvenience. Also, the music is a tad loud. read more

This a contender for sure. The vodka sauce is especially good and the one with the luxardo cherry.

Impromtu Date Night. Cents Pizza near Ohio City in Cleveland. Blown away. The Cherry Pie Pizza with hot pepper flakes. ( see photo for description ). Stracciatella ( mozz cheese, heavy cream, evoo and cracked pepper). This cheezy goodness and the fresh baked "Wonder Bread" ( puffy , light and airy - hot and fresh) .....a match made in heavy. We also tried the NDuja - a cured spicy pork spread. Unique....jury is still out. This service and the interior make this quirky place a must try. Yum. read more

Cent's Pizza is one of my favorite pizza joints in all of Cleveland. It's a little hidden gem on Lorain Ave. The restaurant itself was clearly carefully designed and had a retro type of interior design. The service here was also great. The staff are friendly and attentive. Now to the food: I am usually not one to get appetizers, but I was recommended the Wonder Bread, and wow it was wonder-ful bread! It was both soft and doughy, yet with a slight crunchy exterior. For pizza, we got the Sunday Gravy with Pepperoni, and it was so good, we wanted to get more. If we were not already stuffed, we would have gotten another one! This pizza had lots of flavor and not overly greasy. Overall, this is a must try pizza place in Cleveland. I will be taking all of my out-of-state friends here when they visit! read more

I came to Cent's with my friend to celebrate her new out-of-state job offer. We had both heard a lot of good things about Cent's but hadn't found time to visit until recently. It's a small space but we came pretty early on a weeknight and had no problems getting seated. We were both impressed by the decor - it has a very well curated retro pizza parlor vibe, and though we were spooked at first by a gigantic "Cash Only" sign, once we found out it was just decor and not a serious sign, we really appreciated the decor. Our waitress was very helpful since it was our first time and we settled on the wonderbread with house butter, an eggplant special, and the cherry pizza (plus a Mexican Coca-Cola to share). The wonderbread was interesting - it both reminded me of/tasted like a baked pizza dough but also had a unique quality. It paired well with the house butter as well as our eggplant appetizer. I wasn't sure if I wanted to order it at first because it is quite expensive ($12) in my opinion but I am glad that we got it since it is something that makes Cent's quite special. If I came with a larger group of people next time I would consider ordering it again, it was a bit too much for 2. My friend was very intrigued by the cherry pizza before we even sat down, and I agreed to share it with her not fully realizing that it had Luxardo cherries on it (honestly just assumed it was cherry tomatoes and didn't feel the need to fully read the menu). It freaked me out a bit at first but honestly I think the cherry, ricotta, and mint worked pretty nicely with the cheese and pepperoni (without the pepperoni it definitely would've been way too sweet). I didn't love how much ricotta was dolloped on the pizza and I wish there was more sauce, but I really enjoyed the crust, and even though I thought the combination was kind of weird I wasn't against it (although next time I might try something more tame!) For dessert we got a tiramisu to go and it was fine - a little on the small side (looked like basically 2 ladyfingers) but no complaints about the taste. Cent's has a certain novelty to it and they seem to use really nice, high-quality ingredients to make their unique pairings work. I would definitely come back and try some more things on the menu. The staff were super nice and accommodating and I appreciated not having to wait a very long time for a nice pizza (something that can be hard to find in CLE!) read more

I really like the atmosphere at cent's pizza, the decor is really cool and minimalist which I love although it would be great if the space was a bit bigger. It gets really packed for dinner and the waiting space is quite limited and when you sit down the tables are quite close to each other which I don't particularly enjoy too much. Despite that, the food is great! Their pizzas are delicious and very tasty although I think they could potentially offer the option to have two flavors in one pizza like many other places do (half and half) so that you can try more variety :) Great quality and would definitely recommend! read more
