Embarrassed to say it's my first time trying this local spot. We ordered the Korean bbq pizza. Absolutely love the crust! Has a lot of flavor and they offer a lot of variation. Have yet to try the famous chicken! Upon pick up the owner was super nice and engaging. Love that they are close to home. We'll be back for sure! read more

Dirte Pi - Pizza Near Me - Avon Lake, Ohio

I had a discount certificate for Dirty Pi so I figured to use it for takeout. Dirty Pi is located on Lear Road in Avon Lake very close to Lake Erie. The stand alone building is a bit drab on the outside, but inside you find a contemporary pizza shop, a service counter with the kitchen behind, including the cool round pizza oven on one side, on the other side is a small dining area with a few tables; but Dirty Pi is set up mainly for takeout. The menu is above the counter and you have to crane your neck to read it, but it runs you through the offerings. The young man there was friendly and helpful. With $30 to spend I ordered two pizzas, A Veg Head (no pineapple, add jalapenos) and a cheese pizza with spinach, garlic and vegie sausage. From order to pickup it only took 15 minutes, which I spent looking at the nearby thrift store; me pizzas were ready right on time. The drive back to Beachwood smelled great. At home I saw that I had 2 oblong pizzas, about 18" by 6"; thin crust with a very nice outside rised crust. The pizzas were well cooked, which is right to my taste. The star of the pizza is clearly the crust, nicely risen, perfectly cooked, crisp with some chew and just a hint of tang. The sauces were good, although I would have appreciated a bit more sauce on each pizza; of the 2 the pesto sauce had more flavor and impact. The cheese is good, although once again I could have enjoyed a bit more. The toppings were of excellent quality and very flavorful, I especially enjoyed the mushrooms, roasted garlic and vegie sausage. For me 4 slices (half of a pizza) made a satisfying meal. Dirty Pi makes an excellent pizza using high quality ingredients, perfectly cooked. The pizzas are more about great flavors rather then overabundance, emphasizing quality and over quantity. These pizzas are a modified Neapolitan pizza, great ingredients, high heat cooking and appreciating the natural flavors. I would strongly recommend giving them a try. read more

First time. Not great but good. I would go back. Saw them on Instagram and made the 1/2 hr drive within hrs. I got the 3 pi sampler. Asian, Italian and Merica. All good, not great. Also got the chicken tenders. Good size. They look like fried pork chops. Got the buffalo blue, cooler ranch (a lot of dill & tasty,) roasted garlic Parmesan (probably my least favorite) was kinda like an olive oil Parmesan paste of sorts. And cilantro sauce. Nice crunch and the biggest thing I liked is they weren't overly salty. The older I get I just hate overly salty food. I got the mayo based Cole slaw...Not a lot of flavor. Also got the hibiscus lemonade which was nice and fresh and a nice change from a soda! It was a nice 25 minute drive from Cleveland and man if your on the stretch of road "Lake" try not to wreck looking at all the big beautiful homes along the lake!!! All in all a nice experience and a nice chill day for me. Oh and also good speed. Ordered and was out the door within 15 minutes read more

Dirte Pi - Chicken tenders and mayo based slaw. - Pizza Near Me - Avon Lake, Ohio

The owner Jason was awesome. Their pizza and chicken were amazing. Organic and non-GMO, love it!

We came here for a date night a few weeks ago after seeing a review of this place online. A small pizza joint on the West Side, it appeared that most of their business was take out but we opted to dine in. They specialize in wood fired speciality pizzas and Korean fried chicken. My husband and I decided to try a pizza flight (yes, there is actually such a thing!) and ordered the Asian, the Italian, and the American. The Asian was incredibly spicy and I couldn't eat it. My husband enjoys spicy things and thought this was his favorite but still felt it was too spicy even for him. The American failed to impress either of us. Supposedly tasting of ranch, I tasted more fill than anything else. The Italian was my favorite with a balsamic glaze. The crust on all three was thin, and really delicious. We also ordered Korean fried chicken with four different house made sauces. The chicken fingers were HUGE. The breading is unique and slightly peppered. We have been to Korea and had the real thing and this is not it, but it is good. I wasn't a fan of any of the sauces we ordered but my husband liked them. I tried the honey mustard which was too vinegar heavy for me, and the bbq which again, I didn't think was anything special. I wish they would ah just had plain honey bc I think it would have complimented it well. Despite this, the staff was super friendly and happy to answer questions and make recommendations. The inside was clean and kitschy. Drinks include Mexican cokes and speciality teas and lemonades. If I lived in this area, I would definitely try it again and possibly make my own pizza and order different sauces for the chicken. Seeing as this is a 40 min drive from my house, there are places we like better that are closer. If you're a fan of unique pizzas and tasty chicken, check this place out. read more

Finally a pizza place that knows how to make good food. The American style pizza I just got is the best pizza I've had in my 4 years in Cleveland! This is a must stop for pizza lovers. Not to mention the owner is extremely nice and grateful! Very clean inside and out! read more

Really nice place. The pizza is awesome. Thin crust. Sauces are delicious. The chicken is great. The deals they have make it easy to go for it as opposed to other places you have to finance your grub hub. read more

Good fresh, quality food and a nice clean restaurant. We ordered via phone, 2 Pi's to go. Staff were great during our 1st ordering process here and were very pleasant. Both of our Pi's were really good and we will likely try a couple other Pi options next time/ visit, or maybe the chicken too? Both were a little on the spicy side but we were ok with it. The Asian Pi was great with Korean chicken style bbq and we also had The Shoreman -a meat lovers with an Italian side salad, yum. read more

Saw this pizza place that offered Korean style fried chicken and decided to make the drive to see it. The young woman behind the counter recommended a pizza flight to get three small pizzas to try. Pizza was pretty good. It offered lots of toppings with a thin crispy style crust. We got the Italian, the Asian and the American. The Asian was too spicy for my wife. She liked the other two though. The fried chicken was pretty tasty with lots of sauce options. Decor was cute. Tables were high tops with metal stools. The tables gave off a vibe of a takeout place more than a dine in place. It was nice for not having a line to dine in but could be improved. Overall I was glad to have made the 45 minute drive to eat there. If I lived close, I could see it being a go to spot. read more

Dirte Pi - Drink bar with cool neon sign - Pizza Near Me - Avon Lake, Ohio

Yummy pizza in Avon! I was recently staying at a hotel just 5 min away and was looking for an option for dinner. I ordered online for pickup and it was ready in about 15 min. Very easy to get to location and helpful staff. Now on to the food! I ordered the Asian Pi and 2 tenders. The pizza had a strong kick to it and my mouth was on fire after two pieces. I have zero regrets-this pizza was so good!!! The dough was flavorful, and the hot honey that was drizzled on the pizza gave a unique flavor. I can't believe I hadn't tried this place before-I can't wait to try another pi! read more

We stopped here after searching for pizza places in the area. Ordered a margarita pizza and chicken tenders. The pizza was delicious. Crisp and tender dough from the wood fired oven. Calling the chicken tenders is a complete misnomer, they are the size of your hand. The tenders were juicy and the gluten free breading was crispy and delicious. Jason was friendly and helpful in navigating the menu options, also very personable to chat with. We will be back to eat here when in the area. Probably sooner than later. read more

My friends and I ordered carry out on a Friday night. We ordered the Italian, the hot and dirtie, and the Mercia pizzas. These are more flatbreads than pizzas in my opinion, and I could definitely eat entire one by myself. The Italian had red sauce, fresh mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, arugula, and balsamic drizzle. The hot and dirtie had chicken, hot sauce, hot honey, and pickles. The Merica is there take on a chicken bacon ranch pizza - this was my favorite. It had just that - chicken, bacon, and a special ranch dressing, but topped with arugula. I think their crust is really good and I believe it's made in-house. Because it's a essentially flatbread it's pretty crispy but also a little bit chewy was just just how I like my crust. I would love to return because they do have chicken tenders that are supposed to be pretty good with lots of sauce options. read more

We've had them twice now, first time was a small trial run of their Korean fried boneless wings & they were delicious solo (ie: no dipping sauce) then we tried their Dirte sauce & their Korean bbq & both were great (& they make them in house with fresh ingredients, they don't even own a freezer) then we went back & had their Korean fried tenders which are huge & one of their pies (street taco) & another great experience! Love Dirte Pi read more

We have a list of pizza places that we've tried so we can keep track of the good ones and avoid the failures. Dirte Pi is only the second to get 4 stars on our list. The pizza crust was tasty-- we got a plain cheese and a fresh mozzarella pizza with their traditional crust. I didn't love the balsamic drizzle on the mozz, but that was just personal preference. The pizza was nice and think and very tasty. We also got chicken tenders and these were amazing. I would go back just for chicken-- the batter was crispy and the chicken was tender. You get a free dipping sauce with the chicken with a variety of options which was nice. I would def recommend. read more

Had a live band, music was way too loud for that space. Ordering was not easy due to the sign being confusing. Pizza was just okay. Nothing special. Chicken is great while hot. Cold, it's kinda bland. Service was decent though even with it being hampered by the music. read more

Tried for the first time this evening and it exceeded expectations. Service was top notch, ingredients were clearly of high quality, and most of all flavor was all there. Chicken tenders are basically the size of a whole chicken breast each. Can't wait to go back and try some of the other appealing options on the menu. read more

Excellent choice for pizza. Different kind of shape...sort of oblong. Toppings were fresh and very good. Oven fired excellent crust! Nothing special about dine-in..basic and clean. read more

Gluten Free Chicken tenders were outstanding super crunchy like old KFC! Low gluten pizza was also delicious and super reasonable $65 for a family of 4! We will be back! read more

We popped in for our first visit, and were si impressed by the friendly owner's service and cooking. My husband is gluten free, so he was in heaven withe options. He loved the very flavorful cauliflower crust pizza. Did someone say gluten free chicken fingers? What a treat! They were so big, he ate his order for two more meals. I had the best began Italian pizza I have had in decades. Although the ambiance is more high-school after-game hang out vibe, the food was so good, we can't wait to grab some friends and go there again. read more

What a great experience. We had heard good things, but had just never made it there. We ordered three tenders and a creamy slaw. Chicken was crazy good. Did we say gluten free too. Sauces were good. Lemonade also. Cannot wait to try the pie. I'm stoked as I like to eat pizza at the place it is made. To go is a no for me. Well done. Thank you and continued success. read more

I want to go back. Loved the pizzas and the wings! The staff was friendly and we did not waited that long.

Wow!!!! This place is absolutely amazing. We tried the current special, taco pizza, and it was off the hook. And what is in the crust? Yummmm! Owner operated and super friendly and clean. Thanks Jason. We WILL be back. Can't wait to try the chicken. I would post a picture but it's all gone. read more

We were in Avon Lake today and tried Dirte Pi. What great food!! We tried 3 different Xtra Dirte Pi's and they were all delicious: the Street Taco, The Sportmen, and the Veg Head.

Had a fantastic lunch at Dirte Pi. Jason was friendly and went above and beyond to explain the menu and the history of the business. Fun atmosphere and very inviting. THE PIZZA was fantastic. Would highly recommend. read more

It was our first time here. Service was great. We weren't sure of what to order. The pizza menu shared the ingredient's of each of their standard pizza offerings but looked like Greek to us so we took a chance and ordered the Hot & Dirte off the menu. We weren't fans of the flavor at all. The Hot & Dirte came with just pickles on it. We didn't realize until after we left and looked again at their menu that it was suppose to have chicken on it as well. The pickles completely clashed with the sweet sauce (not your standard pizza sauce). My wife was asking what the small black bits were on the pizza. I assumed they were burnt bits from all the pizzas that went in and out of the oven. My wife commented that the bits tasted like charcoal and was completely turned off by it. All in all it was probably we ordered by chance something we didn't like. We may give it another chance and order something different. read more

Hands down the best Pizza in Avon Lake. Everything is 100% fresh, Organic, Non-GMO, and gluten free. They don't even have a freezer there! This is how Europe operates and this is how all of America should operate, imho. It's a no-brainer if you care what goes into your body and your families/friends bodies, go here. you won't regret it! read more

Excellent food and the best pizza in the area! Their oven, preparation, and top notch ingredients really make this pizza shop stand out. Great for vegetarians and people with sensitive allergies, too. I highly recommend! read more

Dirte Pi - Decoration behind the fountain drinks. - Pizza Near Me - Avon Lake, Ohio

Dirte Pi's has amazing customer service. The 1st time we tried them in August, I called because I was trying to find out why my pizza was sticky so I could avoid that topping. The owner, Jason, apologized because the staff was training and might of put the hot honey on my pizza on accident. He offered a free desert for our next order. We came again for the store grand opening party and the food was amazing. My toddler is a pizza critic and he enjoyed the Not so Lame cheese pizza They had lots of kids toys and coloring available for the little ones. The pizza eating contest was fun too! All of the staff seemed to enjoy their job, and had a positive vibe. I also love seeing Dirte Pi feed the teachers during conferences. Another plus is that they have plant based pepperoni, plant based sausage, and PB cheese! That's a win for me. We will be back! read more

Second time ordering and second time with understaffed or slow working crew. Decent pizza. But not worth the extra cost compared to other spots. I really like supporting local places but both times were ridiculous wait times. Tuesday night and and hour for a 'brick oven' pizza?? Can't imagine how long it would be on a busy weekend night. Hard pass. Not worth the extra time and $. read more

Dirte Pi - Pizza Near Me - Avon Lake, Ohio

Tried Dirte Pi for the first time on Wednesday evening. We scheduled ahead for a pick up. Online ordering and pick up went smoothly. We ordered three standard pizzas (one with vegan meats) and one GF Cauliflower pizza. The standard crust is good with a nice crunch and flavor. Two of the three pizzas were burned on the bottom, not just crispy but literally black on more than 1/2 of the pizza. We know they are new so we gave them a break on that, and the toppings were all fantastic. I love that they use real, fresh ingredients and you can tell. The GF Cauliflower crust was AWFUL. I mean dreadful, even for GF pizza. If you need a GF pizza do not get it here...go to Chatty's or nearly anywhere else. Our vegetarian loved the vegan pepperoni & sausage. The winner of the night was the GF Chicken Strips, we all really loved these. This area has no shortage of pizza places and frankly for pizza that is wood fired and fresh I think Il Forno in Avon is superior and for overall pizza, we will continue to go to Chatty's, which is our favorite pizza. We will definitely order the chicken fingers from here again some time though. read more

Love that they care about their ingredients!! Very good fresh food and literally the best KFC ever!

So good! Went here during pizza week trying different places in Cleveland. This place is far from me but the crust is so delicious that I will make an effort to drive 40 minutes and try more. The Italian and Mexican pizzas were both worth the drive. The crust is great plain, which makes a good pizza for me because I'm not wasting the edges. read more

Went here for the first time - ordered a one topping and the Italian- once you get past the ordering on line learning - it was pretty easy and the pizza was really tasty. Two pizzas are more than enough for three adults. Next time I will add a zip sauce! read more

SO good!!! I was stuck at the nearby Cleveland Clinic hospital for the day and needed a quick lunch. I found this restaurant on Yelp & decided to try it based on the reviews and that they had GF pizza AND are clearly involved in the local farm to table concept. I was not disappointed. I had the chicken tenders and coleslaw. The chicken was organic and local and the breading was probably the best I've had in years. Crunchy outside, without being greasy, and tender and juicy inside. The slaw is made in house snd was fantastic. And last but not least they THANK G. didn't serve pop!! They had tea/juice? Not dure how to describe it but it was delicious snd not sickeningly sweet. If I were a local restaurant i. Abon, I'd be taking clues from this place! Best of luck to them read more

Great food, quality ingredients and friendly staff. Not your average pie. You build your own pie starting with the crust then the sauce then toppings and seasonings. Thousands of combinations. Great concept. The restaurant was extremely clean. We will definitely be back. read more
