Ordered some Donatos from 8th and Greengarden. We had a coupon buy one get one- so although it's an expensive pie 23 for the large select pizzas And 18 for a large 1 topping... at bogo- it was worth a try Day 1 - straight out the box- It was really damn good! As cold pizza it's not good at all! But if you reheat it in the stove as instructed on the box- it was very good on days two and three- which is usually a day too old for pizza from me. We decided we will use all of the coupons in the around Erie book. The pic is of the elderly 3 day old pizza read more

Donatos Pizza - 3 days old- follow their reheat instructions- and it's still good. Don't and it tastes pretty below average. - Pizza Near Me - Erie, Pennsylvania

I was in town on business for two weeks and wanted to try a local pizza place. I love thin crust and was excited to see green olives on the ingredients list. You don't see them that often. So I ordered my favorite pizza- pepperoni, bacon and green olives. The square cut pizza is also a favorite. I opened the box and no green olives. Just pepperoni, bacon and BLACK olives. I don't like black olives. I would have never ordered this pizza. So disappointed. Sadly, I picked off the black olives and ate my pepperoni and bacon pizza. If they don't have green olives, then I should have been called, at the very least. What if I was allergic to black olives? Or take them off the list of available ingredients. Don't just substitute black for green. They're not the same flavor profile. Not even close, in my opinion. For that reason, I could only give 3 stars- and that, folks, is all she wrote. read more

There is no better chain pizza anywhere. Even though "chain" pizza gets a bad wrap, I have always been a super fan of Donatos, and I visit this location whenever I am in town. (Sadly, the closest location to me is about 2 hours away.) I LOVE that the veggies are fresh and that the ingredients are right up to the edge of the pizza. No real outside crust, which I love. There is just something about a Donatos Pizza! Perfection. read more

First & last time I order from Donatos in Erie PA. We ordered ONE pizza. When the driver was late, we called the store, no apology, just excuses. They said it would be another 15 to 20 minutes. so we waited again.......no dice! We ended up calling back and cancelling. No worries, we ordered Marcos and it was spectacular Oh......and it was on time. Most of the businesses here are this way. Just zero accountability for anything. Erie is garbage! We're moving back home read more

The works pizza never fails. Always delicious! Both here and in Harborcreek, the pizzas are great.

the family/owners that owns the Donatos stores in Erie PA is gluten free/celiac. But they are cheap with any discounts for us w food allergies! You have specials for 2 large pizzas $7 off. GF Pizza is more expensive if I buy 2 but no discount? Why? Don't tell me because it isn't large! It's the most expensive pizza on your menu of any size or speciality. You have buy a large pizza get a second order for $5. AGAIN MY GF PIZZA IS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN A LARGE and we get no discounts For a calzone for my non-gf partner? Rude! I expect someone to contact me and make this right. I am a loyal customer and your deals ALWAYS exclude my food allergy! ALWAYS! read more

Great pizza and great service. My favorite is the hot chicken pizza. Delicious!! Will definitely be a repeat customer.

Unique menu! Finally an upscale pizza shop in Erie. We all love it. The crust is what makes us return again and again. And there is no one in the area that creates this many kinds of high quality pies. read more

Outstanding all around. Good and service very fast courteous and professional. Brilliant customer service

nashville hot chicken is red sauce based, but very good!! ordered online at 9:50. picked it up at 10:15. great spot

Excellent! We love all the pizzas here. So many options of crusts and flavors. Fast friendly service as well

Donatos has become our #1 pizza joint. We only order carry-out, so I can't speak to dining in. The dining area appears pretty plain, but there are tables outside. The folks who man the cash register lack customer service skills but get the job done. We love the thin crust pizza. It's crispy, crunchy, and yummy. There is no skimping of toppings no matter what you order; they run side to side. The online ordering app is easy to use, and you can order toppings by the half. We have some differing tastes on two items so we each get what we want. The pizza is always hot and ready when we arrive. If you sign on, you receive coupons for daily specials which offer tremendous savings. Bottom line for us - love the pizza, not so high on the staff. read more

Love the pizza, but the cost is too high. Was going to get a pizza Friday night, and this place was just about double of a good Gatherings pizza. Will only go here now when they have a promotion or great deal. read more

Wishing you all a very happy six year anniversary coming up ,your pizzas always been my very favorite, I've always enjoyed going into your store because your employees are always so kind and I would definitely recommend you to anybody if they want a very good homemade pizza. read more

This place has a modern minimalist decor. The outdoor terrace looks nice. I got a chicken spinach mozzarella and tomato pizza. The crust was thin and crispy. Just right, not too dry. They also serve salads too. Eat in and take out. I'll be stopping over there for sure. read more

Donatos Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Erie, Pennsylvania

Synopsis: Excellent pizza! Best we have found in Erie! Wheelchair friendly Full review: On our city wide search for the best pizza in town, we finally came to Donatos Pizza and boy am I glad we did! The medium thin crust pepperoni pizza was crisp and flavorful. Delivery to our table was swift despite the lunch crowd. The manager even brought out a bowl of water for our service dog. I explained that service dogs neither eat nor drink inside restaurants but we very much appreciated her efforts. The dining area is clean and free from the usual pizza establishment clutter. Seating inside and out is plentiful. Happy to report the restaurant is wheelchair accessible. We'll be back again and again! read more

My first time trying it was a no contact delivery due to the plague. For a single person, I was able to get a pizza and salad perfectly sized. Delicious, travelled well, great packaging. Good price, and on a 7 inch pizza I had better topping amount than I have on larger pizzas! Perfect crust. I have no hesitation ordering again. *sigh*, one day I will get to go in. read more

An older review that I put on Google but since I've eaten it again and haven't reviewed on Yelp, I thought I would add: My first time ordering from here. Ordered 2 pizzas and had delivery. When the guy answered the phone, he was super friendly and was really patient answering all my questions. I didn't have to wait long for my delivery, he said 30 minutes and I didn't clock it but it seemed way faster. The delivery guy was great as well. Very friendly! Donatos is my new favorite pizza!!!!! Pleasant experience from beginning to end. Pricing seems a bit high. read more

Tasty toppings and generous portions! Two star review due to this location being across from the park - there should be a stop sign or traffic light crossing 8th street! Almost got hit carrying your pizza across, while clearly walking inside the crosswalk! Please petition the local municipality! read more

It was clean and friendly and in a good location. It's like fast food pizza. I wasn't impressed with the food but pizza is a personal preference so try it yourself and be the judge read more

See all

Well, I figured I'd give it a 2nd chance. First ordered when they originally opened an the grease dripping from it made me I'll. Tonight, we thought we'd give it another try since they've been open awhile. An once again. Grease pit. Not like good grease from pizza, I mean nasty grease , cold pizza delivered. Nothing about it tasted good. So Sunday will be a lovely day recuperating from the grease in my stomach. read more

I placed online order, site said would be ready at 5:15. I was there at 5:15, then said it would be ready in 3 minutes. 22 minutes later they brought the order out and just said "thank you", no apology. I said I would not order from there again, and I was given a song and dance about how they are short staffed. By the way the food was cold. read more

Nice ambience, we've ordered take out and it was pretty good. Came in today for a sit down pizza lunch. I was surprised at how chill the space is and the floor to ceiling windows are a bonus. There are TV's but they aren't turned all the way up, so it's just back round noise. I'll probably come back to study and have dinner again! read more

Well the place looks like the landfill in Summit....Garbage everywhere...if they cant keep the outside somewhat clean wondering how they take care of keeping the kitchen clean read more

I tried their vegan pizza. I have never had vegan food before, but this pizza was delicious. It tasted just like an original veggie pizza. The decor is modern and chic! It is a different type of pizza place with a modern feel. read more

I originally left a review about DONATOS on 8th Street that was negative due to a burnt pizza. Since then the owner went out of her way to reach out to me. She was wonderful and she was sincere and really interested in making things right. We have since had a delishous pizza and feel confident about the food AND the excellent management. Not many places even care about how your experience was or why. The owner AND the manager are wonderful. read more

This box contains more than 55 years of microwave pizza. Probably should be referred to as cheezy stix there was zero sauce on two of our pies. I'm ashamed of being Italian after having this pizza read more

This will be my second round of Donato's, first time was a few different pizzas, my favorite was the sausage/mushroom/peppers and I really liked the chicken margarita as well. We tried the chicken spinach mozzarella on the g-free crust and I was really happy with the taste and quality of the ingredients. I see a Hot Chicken pie in my future. read more

I was in the area visiting a friend. I got a craving for pizza around 9 pm on a Sunday night. I went online to see what the closest pizza place was that delivered because I just did not feel like leaving the house in my pajama pants. I came across this place and went to their online ordering system. They had a great deal advertised - a large one-topping pizza with an order of breadsticks and a 2 ltr bottle of soda for $15.99. I tried to order the deal online but it wouldn't let me (even though there was a button below the offer that said "order now" - but nonetheless I called and the gentleman that answered the phone said he could give it to me....SCORE!! I had noticed online that they had different types of crusts...I wasn't asked over the phone which I preferred so I was given thin crust by default. The type of crust you order also determines how the pizza is sliced. NOPE. They are not all "pie cut." The thin crust was cut long ways across, which resulted in little, thin rectangle shapes--different, but no biggie. The pizza itself was VERY GOOD with a nice crispy crust -- and I'm a picky pizza person having tried all pizza from Chicago to New York City. We got pepperoni and they were very generous with the topping. Delivery was on time and very friendly. I will definitely order from here again when in the area. read more

The pizza was respectable- not the best, but good. The boneless "wings" were an abomination; marble-sized balls of gristle. Inedible, even. I'll never order from there again. read more

This is the WORST pizza I have ever had. Ate probably one bite in total and the entire thing got thrown away. Save your money and get a hot and ready. read more

I've been to this place multiple times. They make pizzas fairly quick and they have always been tasty. One of the best pizza spots in Erie, especially if your from out of town and willing to pay for quality. read more

Had their pizza twice now. The first time the order took about 15 minutes longer than estimated pick up time. The flavor was lacking. I ordered the serious cheese and there was a lack of cheese. The cooking was inconsistent. Part of the crust was burnt and parts were soggy. The 2nd time I ordered I got the chicken bruschetta and serious pork. The chicken brushetta was missing the balsamic drizzle and was extremely dry. We ended up throwing most of the pizza out. The serious pork was very good but had a hair in it. For the price you pay its not worth. I really wanted to like it since I've had coworkers who've had it before (other locations) say it was the best pizza they ever had. I would still with local places in Erie for great pizza. read more

We have ordered Gluten Free pizza from here on numerous occasions. It's the best tasting gluten free pizza in Erie with so many tasty topping choices. The customer service is also excellent. read more
