First visit. Yum Yum. Calzone is more than enough for 2! The peppers make it a tad zingy so if you don't enjoy a bit of heat make sure to ask them to hold those peppers. The mushrooms were tasty but suffered from being locked in a take out container for 10 min. Not as crispy when eaten immediately. Everyone was super nice. Looks like a great neighborhood find. read more

Great find on my work road trip. Got the Pork Tenderloin slider and their chili. Yummy !!

Just this past Friday I ordered the Italian stallion. I was very impressed. It was by FRÀŸØØ one of the best subs I've had in years. The amount of sausage to meatballs to peppers and onions was amazing. The pepperoni added just the right amount of and the marinara was amazing. read more

Down The Block - Italian Stallion - Sandwiches Near Me - Kirtland, Ohio

Awesome neighborhood shop with pizza, sandwiches, wraps, salads and more! We stopped in after visiting the arboretum. Great food and friendly service! We had the Buffalo chicken wrap, sausage sandwich and Italian stallion. All were excellent! We had a side of coleslaw with blue cheese which was SOOOO good! There are a few tables inside and outside. We ate in and there were LOTS of takeout orders. It's definitely a locals favorite! Highly recommend! read more

After several recommendations from the Missionaries at the church historical sites we came for lunch and it es even better than we imagined. The people were so friendly, food was incredible and they kept bring items to sample as we waited for our fresh food to be delivered. Wish we had something like this back home. Will definitely come here every time we come back to Kirtland. Don't miss it. read more

The owner was so welcoming and happy to give recommendations and talk us through the menu. It's obvious that he's very passionate about his food and genuinely likes to eat it himself. We tried the Italian wedding soup and it was fantastic and so comforting. The meatballs were wonderful, Hawaiian pizza was delicious, and the apple/craisin/blue cheese/ walnut salad was amazing. Everything was made in the restaurant and was very fresh read more

The sandwiches here are fantastic. I got the turkey club and my husband got the polish. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Best Sandwich's ever! I would eat here every week if I could There were 5 of us that stopped for lunch I ordered the Italian Stallion The mix of homemade meatballs and sausage peppers opinion and cheese was better than any I've ever had I tried my wife's Chicken Frocaccia sandwich Also amazing You don't want to pass by Kirtland without stopping! read more

Just tried Down the Block's pizza for first time and we have a new pizza place! It's HUGE and so flavorful. Large pieces of sausage and pepperoni with wonderful sauce. Most pizza today lacks flavor but was pleasantly surprised with the taste! We also ordered the Godfather sub and we were blown away! So much inside of this delicious sandwich. They don't scrimp on anything! We are definitely going back and soon! read more

Absolutely delicious! I'm a calzone fanatic and this place crushed all expectations with their godfather calzone. It was so delicious. Cooked to perfection with a slight zing in the flavor thanks to the banana peppers. I also tried their eggplant parm. I'm not usually a fan because eggplant has never appealed to me but this was so tender and flavorful. Lastly we had their cheese and Hawaiian pizzas and they didn't disappoint at all. Their crust is great, flavors fantastic and their service was so great. Bring the whole crew. It's worth it! read more

Down The Block - Meatballs with ricotta and a balsamic drizzle! - Sandwiches Near Me - Kirtland, Ohio

The food is very good and the people seem very nice. Had a solid pizza, lots of quality ingredients, chicken tenders were very high quality, and a good wrap. It is primarily a takeout place and I would give it 5 stars for takeout if they could find a more sustainable choice for their boxes vs Styrofoam. They also have an incredible selection of food choices so something for everyone on takeout. A few tables inside to eat at but overall the facility is not visually impressive, hence 4 vs 5 stars as eat in. Definitely recommend it, good luck to the owners! read more

The food is amazing! Very fresh. The owners/staff are friendly and courteous. You will get your money's worth too.

We walked in never having been here. Very few tables so better to order take out. If you stay in, be prepared for salty language. They have a fire oven for pizza. The garlic parm and smoky Chipotle are good sauces for wings and tenders. Can drinks. Fries were very good. Chicken Philly was very good. Dessert selection is nice. read more

Down The Block - Counter and menu - Sandwiches Near Me - Kirtland, Ohio

Worst customer service I've ever experienced at a restaurant..and I'm 60 years old ! They have no idea how real restaurants work, as they are "in the weeds" if they get more than 2 customers. My order was not prepared correctly, after ordering directly with the owner. When I called the restaurant to express my disappointment, one of the owners hung up on me TWICE! I had to drive back there. I told them that after 3 days of hospitalization, this was my 82 year old mom's first choice of places to eat-- and the food was horrible. The owner's response was, "There's a restaurant that way up the road, and this way up the road..." I was appalled at their horrible, argumentative attitude, especially after the owner assured me my order would be correct. This place is overpriced and dysfunctional. The husband of the owner is always angry and yelling at the employees. Good thing I have the whole ordeal audio recorded, and pictures of the food, so he can't deny how unprofessional and rude he was. read more

Some of the best food I've ever had in Ohio! We tried a bunch of items and they were all memorable!! A must stop if you're in the area!

HUGE salads, excellent sandwiches/wraps (we didn't get the pizza). Service was super friendly and attentive. Highly recommend! read more

Oh my gosh! What a fantastic place. Family business, wonderful food,amazing people, I'm already looking forward to when I can go back

Tried it for the first time a few days ago. I got the fried chicken sub. Hand breaded chicken tenders, toasted roll=really good! Fries are like fries you get at a fair, also good even though I'm not usually big on fries. Husband got BBQ chicken pizza , said it was very good as was his cheesecake. My bread pudding was ok, I think they forgot the sauce . Definitely will go again. read more

I met the owner, Frank, in another establishment and heard others raving about his food. This piqued my interest, so I ordered some food for dinner. My wife was so glad I did after the day she had at work, this comfort food hit the spot. From the fried bologna sliders to the meatball sub, and the fried dough pillows with frosting, we were in heaven. She even said the tiramisu dessert that was handmade by Mimi, Frank's wife, was on par with what she's had down in Little Italy. The food quality was top notch and the customer service was on the same level. We can't wait to try their pizza and wings. South Russell Joe read more

Love this place. Great owner and so many yummy options. Pork belly slider was unreal.

Everything I've had at this restaurant has been wonderful. The people are super nice and the food is excellent. No complaints.

if you've bypassed the little building on route 306 in Kirtland called Down the Block restaurant, then you need to stop, turn around and go there. Some of the very best food you'll ever eat. The lightly breaded chicken breast on soft focaccia bread with fresh tomatoes and pesto is heavenly. The combinations of chaste is amazing. And then, if you try the Italian roast beef, you'll never want try anything else. Roasted by the owner for eight hours and served on soft ciabatta bread, it was the best roast beef I've tasted in a very long time My husband's favorite is the Godfather Italian sub sandwich. You'll never worry about not getting enough to take home. Each dish is served up with healthy servings. Some of the best food in Lake County! Everything is served up hot, fresh and with the friendliest staff. You'll be so happy you stopped at the little shop and planned a Great takeout family treat. I love love love this place. read more

I can't share a photo because my food was devoured! I got Mimi meatballs and they were just incredible. Be sure to order a roll with yours to dip it in the sauce. From out of state visiting family but I recommend you come and enjoy! read more
