Vintage pizza shop..yeah, my kinda place. If you're a child of the 70's/80's, Geraci's will rekindle memories. Starting with the pizza, I had a couple slices of the Hawaiian, which was oily, messy, all over the place, and awfully damn good. We also bought a bag of the 'pillow' dough pieces, those were just okay. Everyone else that I was with really enjoyed their slices as well. The shop has a lot of 70's/80's memorabilia like a pay phone, adapted cigarette machine, video games, etc. It probably didn't matter which part of the country you grew up in, the place is orange like most pizza joints of the day. They were pretty busy when we arrived in, so the two people working had their hands full. Really enjoyed this place and highly recommend it. Cheers! read more

The food was okay I wish it wasn't so much ricotta cheese I feel like it throws it off. But over all the pizza was pretty good if it wasn't on there. The service is self serve you type in on the iPad what you want and they call your name to come get what you ordered. The garlic nots was okay I wish it wasn't tossed in garlic butter because it just taste like bread lol. The place is set up nice a lot of open seating place isn't too busy. Outside of the place yes is heavy on the traffic so be careful getting out your car! read more

During the weekend event of NCAA wrestling event at Rocket Arena. Stopped by to get a meatball sub. Self ordered and no subs available due to no bread?? How does a pizza shop not bake bread in house?? So ordered the meatball flight (3 in a flight). This took 20+ minutes due to lack of organization. They need to determine what orders they can take care of quickly instead of going by per ticket basis. This should have been less than 10 min if not 5 min to place 3 meatballs in a container and send customer out. This place needs to look at Rocket Arena' s calendar to determine what events and probably stock inventory and staff to provide service properly. The meatballs were average at best. Also, turn the music down so folks can hear orders called out. Having music blasting in the place is not enjoyable. read more

This place had good pie and a chill vibe. Live the retro chandeliers and vending machine to contrast with the wide tablet point of sale. Come get a slice but watch out for the hot slice. Being a friend, dave a buck, and get a whole pie. read more

First impressions- I love the retro vibes, old school pizza parlor aesthetics, and love the variety of slices they offer! foods I tried: Hot Tito- my favorite slice, I love the addition of hot honey, I think the sweetness really balances the heaviness of the sausage and pepperoni. Bianco- simple but so so good. I am a huge fan of ricotta so this slice was a big hit for me. Meatball Flight- actually some of the best meatballs I've had, it's tender and flavorful, and they don't skimp on the sauces which I so appreciated. Each sauce was delicious but I particularly have a biased favoritism towards the pink sauce. Garlic Pillows- soft, fluffy, buttery, and garlicky, dip it in the meatball sauces, you won't regret it. Big Gus Salad- a large portion of salad Love how close it is to the field, you can easily get some slices before or after a game/concert! read more

There is nothing good about this pizza place. The pizza is doughy, greasy, heavy, undercooked, and the service is about as good as Joe Biden's economy - But... This pizza is legit "drunk pizza". If you're at Progressive Field, watching The Guardians lose again (Wtf?), this pizza dump is worth the stop... Grab a slice (or the whole pie) and get some crappy service from the rude black lady working the counter - It serves the purpose of mitigating a God awful hangover of drinking through 9 innings of underwhelming baseball.

Customer service was good and food was delicious. Stumbled across the Geraci's Slice Shop on our visit to Downtown Cleveland. I got the veggie pizza and it was delicious with a little kick of spice. Pepperoni pizza was also good. The space itself is pretty cool. Lots of seating area some arcade games and vintage items. I would definitely go to this pizza place again if I'm ever in Ohio. read more

Huge thank you to Darell (hope I'm spelling this right) and the team here. It's rare we get to have pizza with a dairy allergy in the mix, so after trying a few subpar pies elsewhere, and doing some research, Geraci's stuck out as a front runner in the online reviews. Darell informed us as we walked in that our pick-up pie was just getting in the oven. Definitely a minor inconvenience, as we wanted to spend some time taking advantage of the aesthetic masterpiece they've devised for this location. He offered us some complimentary water while we waited, and assured us the pizza would be hot and ready soon. We took some time to play with our cameras, play some Ms. Pac-Man and really enjoy the space. Before we knew it, our pizza was ready. We were extremely excited, and I think it was showing! Darell invited us to open it up and take a look. Our eyes were amazed at the sight! We took it home and it did not disappoint! It was pricey, but 100% worth every penny. We will be back, again and again. Best pizza I've had in Cleveland, EVER! read more

Don't walk, run to this place. The service, the atmosphere, the pizza! 5/5!!!! Feels like a new york slice of pizza, and so reasonably priced. We got the bianco ... gooey goodness. Next time ill add hot honey! Feels like a throw back to the 1980s!! read more

Visited Geraci's today to try their pizza. My co-worker and I visited and we each ordered two slices. For two slices and a drink it's around $15.50, but if you get the combo it's $16. The combo comes with two slices, chips or a small salad, and a drink. I went with the bianco and a spicy vegan. Then we proceeded to get drinks and sat down. A minute later, the pizza was delivered after being warmed in the oven. Both of my slices were tasty. I especially liked the thin, crispy crust - it had a good bite and chew. The sauce was good, but the bianco (olive oil, riccota, cheese, mozz, and romano cheeses) wasn't really flavorful. I think with some garlic butter, it would've been much better. A spicy vegan was yummy. My co-worker had a slice of hot tito, which had a sweet sauce for some reason. He did not enjoy it at all. His square slice consisted of crust, sauce, and seasonings only, but he said that one tasted better than the tito. Overall, he was disappointed with the pizza and the price. As far as pizza goes, we're glad we tried it, but I don't think we'll be back often, since there are several other pizza options nearby. read more

Nice vibe inside, enjoyed the music and the smell reminded me of how pizza places would smell a few years back so it brought back memories. Pizza is good, crust has a nice crunch to it. I had a small salad as well; deducted 1 star because I'm not sure the cheese on it was still good. It didn't smell right. All in all, I enjoyed eating here and would come again. read more

Service was quick and friendly. We were looking for a place to sit down and with a short wait time. Everywhere else seemed quite busy, however, this place appeared to be moving quicker and since we previously had Geraci's and had a good experience, we decided to grab a bite here. You order at the counter, you find your table and they bring it to you...very quick. The restaurant had a very cool vintage touch. Our group certainly enjoyed the food. I highly recommend their Garlic Pillows, they're to die for!! I'm from California, I wish we had a Geraci's here. . read more

The staff at Geraci's are kind & knowledgeable. There's a huge variety of options - not just pizza. I ordered 2 slices of Bianco pizza (Fresh garlic, olive oil, parsley, romano, mozz, and ricotta cheese) and the Big Gus salad (Mixed greens, fresh sliced Italian deli meats, pepperoncini pepper, tomato, lemon wedge, black olives, mozzarella cheese & Italian vinaigrette dressing). My kids each got slices of The OG (cheese). The oldest got a 10-count of garlic pillows with marinara while the youngest ordered the Caesar Marie. My kids LOVED the old-school Atari table game in the back. The hanging Pizza Hut lamp above the table made me smile & giggle, seeing the mix of other hanging lamps (I don't think there were 2 of the same lamp throughout the restaurant). I was determined *not* to have pizza for dinner tonight & I'm so glad I changed my mind. read more

Stopped in to Geracis this week on Thursday as my power was still out and I wanted something warm to eat on the go. The gentlemen working was so kind. They had a vegan spicy was made so I grabbed a slice to go. It did not disappoint. A nice thin slice with banana peppers and Calabrian peppers. I did not taste any vegan pepperoni but no big deal. I was just happy to have hot food. It was delicious. Restaurant was super clean and service was superb. It's been a rough couple days as a Cleveland resident, it was truly appreciated. read more

Ehhh it was just OK; I do not care for the self-service ordering when they have workers that could take your order. The pizza was alright, being from NY I am pretty particular about my pizza. I would not go back here if I was visiting again. We did eat inside and it was very warm toward the front, but further back we sat the cooler it got. read more

Upon entering you're instantly greeted by friendly staff and old school pizza shop vibes! The decor is amazing. They have a pay phone! Yes a pay phone! There is also a nice size dine in area. Now onnto The pizza I had the Spicy vegan (OMG) I had to keep checking to be sure it wasn't real meat and the Grandma G Slice, and the Bianco all delicious: my his has the chicken bacon ranch and the pepperoni. Overall the experience was amazing. read more

Loved the ambience of this place--they commit to the retro vibe, and commit to it well. Also a good amount of outdoor seating for those beautiful Cleveland summer days (although, also typical to the Land, it suddenly started to rain cats and dogs when we were there). What I was not in love with, however, is the pizza. It was perfectly average; the cheese was a bit rubbery, the crust was a bit burnt, and the tomato sauce was not properly tangy. I did quite like the garlic pillows, which were indeed pillowy and not too greasy. I'd be interested in trying some other slices (including the vegan one) to see if my opinion changes. read more

Geraci’s Slice Shop - Hot Tito - Pizza Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Great ambiance and atmosphere, yet food and service fall short. Geraci's tends to be a highly acclaimed pizza shop downtown, and I was excited to try them out! They offer super cool retro vibes from the 80s and a fun environment. When you enter there is a pizza counter, but it's hard to see the menu, and when I asked for help I was pointed to the handheld menu on a hidden area of the wall. I ended up going with the two slice combo (1 for The Pep and 1 of the Hot Tito) with a side salad and the Buffalo Pillows (similar to garlic knots) with Spicy Ranch sauce. The cashier seemed annoyed with my questions about the menu and wasn't very friendly while I ordered, I felt like an inconvenience to them. They also didn't bring out our entire order and we had to remind them about the pillows with our order. The Hot Tito and the Buffalo Pillows were the biggest disappointment. They weren't even spicy. In fact, the Hot Tito was very sweet and the Buffalo Pillows were kinda pesto flavored? It was odd. The Pep was good, and the salad was a basic salad. I would recommend the spicy ranch sauce though, it had a nice little kick and was a great combo with my crust from the Pep. Probably won't be back, but at least the vibes were cool to check out and see in person! read more

We picked up a large pepperoni pizza and a side of garlic pillows with marinara. For the price, this was absolutely not worth it. I would've been just as satisfied with Domino's or Pizza Hut because that's how mediocre this pizza was. The crust was thick, there wasn't much cheese, and the marinara sauce was not for me--it was overly thick, dark, and tasted more like tomato paste than a balanced pizza sauce. The garlic pillows were awful. Maybe pickup factored into it, but they were stale, hard, not garlicky, not buttery, and also served with that same disappointing marinara. To top it off, their ranch - which if it were good could have probably salvaged the whole pizza, - was literally atrocious. Definitely wouldn't order from here again. read more

Cute pizza place next to the 5th Street Arcade on the Prospect Ave. side.The decor is 1960-70s, so cool for us who grew up during those decades. Several kinds of pizza were warm and available to purchase. You can order a slice or a whole pie. There were a few Italian dishes i.e., lasagna, meatballs and meatball subs, and salads. The beer list included a few domestics and imports. There were a few specialty drinks, too. There was plenty of seating. A back room looked nice to hold a private party or the overflow. There are several Geraci's around CLE. Yummy. read more

Wow!! BEST VEGAN PIZZA I have EVER HAD!! First off, I have a dairy allergy, so I have been searching for a good vegan cheese pizza for so long, I have tried some, and while enjoyed (simply because options were limited) nothing truly hit the spot. My boyfriend decided this would be a good spot to try out. We ordered a pizza with vegan cheese, bacon, and pineapple (don't judge). When we walked in the man who greeted us (I believe his name was Darrell (maybe it was with a J)) was extremely kind, had great energy, and was super helpful. He let us know the wait for the pizza and apologized explaining why. No big deal, we were in no rush and the wait was only about 12 minutes. Super grateful for the wait because this place was so so cute! I loved the variety of stained glass lamps, vintage pieces, games, just a cool spot to be in! When we got our pizza we took a look and knew immediately this was going to top anything else we had. The texture of the crust was amazing, it had a great amount of sauce, and the cheese was good too (obviously still has the vegan cheese texture) but it was a little more toasted near the top and the flavor was just out of this world compared to anything else I've had. We will be back for sure! This is the BEST! read more

Cool place to grab a few slices of pizza. Order at the counter and wait for your name to be called. Fast and friendly service. Great open seating options. Fountain drinks.

I love Geraci's Slice Shop! We didn't realize how badly we needed them until they came to town. I've now been here multiple times and it keeps getting better. Located in the 5th Street Arcades, Geraci's is an old school pie shop open late for all your slice needs. When you enter, you order at the counter by the slice. My favorite is the hot Tito. I love hot honey on just about anything, but on this foldable pizza, it's an easy slam dunk. They'll assign you a 90s icon as your moniker and they'll deliver your meal to you on a cafeteria tray while walking around looking for Tupac (it's you, you're Tupac). The vibes are outstanding. Geraci's brings back my fondest memories of childhood pizza parties, particularly with the upcycled Pizza Hut lamps, vibrant 90s music, and prize crane machines. You can count on Geraci's for a good time with friends! Thank you for bringing so much vibrancy to a formerly vacant spot! read more

Great new pizza spot in downtown CLE! Located in the Gateway District inside the 5th Street Arcades (next to Barrio). This place gives a vintage vibe with fixtures from an old Pizza Hut, light up signs, and art work representing the city. Plenty of indoor seating. Service is fast and someone was constantly cleaning/wiping down table & chairs. Pizza is sold by the slice. A bit on the expensive side with $5 for a cheese slice and $6 for any speciality pizza. Add in tax and it's almost $7 a slice! They also sell garlic knots and drinks. I tried the grandma G slice, which was delicious! Loved the combo of pesto & garlic. The pizza was really good, but pricey at almost $7 for a square slice. Definitely a treat to have once in awhile. read more

Nostalgic is the first word that comes to mind when you walk in. Love it! I have lived in NY City and Philly, so I love a good Italian pizza pie. WOW! Not disappointed. I had the Hot Tito named after Terry Francona, the old Cleveland Indians manager. It had red sauce, fresh mozzarella, thick sliced pepperoni, romano and hot honey Italian spices. My sweetie had the Bianco that had garlic, olive oil, parsley, Romano, fresh Mozzarella and ricotta. Amazing pizza! Old School big city pizza place. If it's good enough for Guy Fieri of Triple D it's def good enough for me. We came to Cleveland to watch the Guardians play and found this gem. Glad we did! read more

So excited to be able to grab a good slice of pizza for lunch! The shop was clean and the staff was really nice. There were also a variety of slices with different toppings available. I was very surprised (and kind of happy) to see the availability of cocktails! There were flasks with mixed cocktails, half bottles of wine and airplane size bottles of alcohol. If you're not familiar with or just haven't tried Geraci's in University Heights, this is your chance to sample it. If you've been visiting them for years like me, I think you'll agree that's it's the same great quality. read more
