Had a pepperoni and sausage with pesto and hot honey. Was in and out in no time nice guy who made the pizza . Small spot but that's all u need.

Imagine: you and your friends have spent a long evening bar-hopping through the lively Tremont neighborhood. Buzzed and starving, you stumble across a NYC-style slice shop directly along your critical path. In the moment, it feels like Moses parting the Red Sea before your very eyes. You watch happy patrons pile out with slices as large as your head, you smell the delicious grease; you can practically taste your pie already. Stepping inside, this religious experience continues when, right as you ready yourself to order, you watch the pizza barista pull a hot, fresh pie directly from the oven. You can see instantly deduce the pizza is perfectly cooked--the cheese is melted evenly, the smell of the tomato sauce lingers in the air, the crust has just the right bend--you look the cashier in the eye and declare that a slice of that fresh-out-of-the-oven pizza pie is exactly what you want. Now imagine the horror as the cashier takes that fresh slice of pizza, perfect as Michelangelo's David, and PUTS IT BACK IN THE OVEN. Horrified, you can do nothing but watch as your already amazing slice of pizza is burnt to a crisp. Served to you five minutes later, your wonderfully floppy New York slice now has the consistency of a saltine cracker. It has been charred to the point of burying the cheese and sauce--replaced by the flavor of charcoal. You might think this is an indulgent (and even pretentious) way to simply say "the pizza was overcooked," but I believe understanding the promise of this product is essential to understanding the pain of its disappointment. Lil Ronnie's is the type of place that has all of the potential to become a legitimate contender for the best pizza in town--it does so much right with its atmosphere and location, and my nose and sight told me the potential exists within that original version of the slice! Just please. We only need to cook the pizza once.

Lil Ronnie's is a great place to get a slice right in Tremont! We ordered a slice with an arugula pesto and it was good--but a little bit too salty for my taste. But service was quick and everyone was friendly!

Such a stellar opening. I wasn't sure anything could replace Edison's in my heart (RIP please come back to another brick and mortar), but Lil Ronnie's has really shown out. Whereas at Il Rione, you have to wait a long time to sit down and get your pie, at Lil Ronnie's you walk in and can walk out with a slice in a few minutes. The holy grail slice you can get right now is the pepperoni with hot honey on it. The mix of the grease from the pepperoni with the spicy honey is practically an aphrodisiac. Runner up goes to the white pie with the pesto on top. The real MVP is the service though - so delightfully pleasant and efficient.

Pepperoni Slice

Stopped by for a slice of Pepperoni on a Saturday around 4:30pm. No line. Only had to wait less than 5 mins for the slice to be warmed up. Nice thin and crispy crust. It sure was delicious!

This is literally a hole in the wall place that has the best pizza in town. Located in Tremont. It seriously lacks nothing. The pizza sauce is paved with flavor and the crust is perfect. I love how crispy the crust is. I highly recommend this spot.

Professor street in Tremont

I found Lil Ronnie's via the Too Good to Go Program. It's awesome to have a reasonably priced pizza by the slice place in Tremont. They are on Professor right down the street from the historic Saint John Cantius Church. Finding GREAT value for the money and an Outstanding product is a golden combination.

Lil Ronnie's is a 10/10 pizza spot in Cleveland. The location is prime on Professor Ave where you can walk up to grab a slice and walk around Tremont. They always have slices available and you can order a full pie (when available). The white pizza is my favorite - it has ricotta cheese and lots of garlic; it's phenomenal! I've always been served extremely quickly but I know it can get busy sometimes. It's right next to Edison's Pub so you can walk in for a slice then grab a drink next door. I love that it's a little walk-up pizza shop with a really cool atmosphere. Stop in next time you're in Tremont!

Tiny take out place serving decent New York style pizza at a fair price. They have an agreement with Edison's Pub next door where you can bring your pizza and sit down to eat. Service is fast and the slices are fresh/decently sized so Lil Ronnie's is definitely worth a stop if you want a quick bite.

White pizza with pesto and white pizza with hot honey drizzle!!
Meghana S.

Okay!! So m a huge huge huuuuuuuuggeeee fan of Il Rione and when I heard they were opening up bang next door to Edisons I can't tell you the excitement I had!! Infact I've been so excited that I've eaten a few times since they opened and have never waited to click a pic of the pizza so I can post it here (glutton as charged - get the pun). But but but... I did manage to take a pic one time last week (phew..IKR) before I devoured it down in a jiffy would be an understatement but honestly I love love love their pizzas! They're are by far the best pizzas I've had in Cleveland!! So I usually get the cheese ones but this time I got 2 white slices one with hot honey and the other with pesto! Pesto on a white pizza - bad idea (atleast for me), cos it got too rich on the palate esp when ricotta meets olive oil but was it delicious - you betcha!!!! Thank God I had it last cos I couldn't eat a bite after I finished that one! I guess pesto on a regular margarita or cheese is cool cos the acidity of the tomato cuts through the richness of pesto! Oh but the Hot honey drizzle yum yum yummmmmaayyyyyy!!! So Hot Honey on the white pizza is my new favorite way of pizza-ing!! Overall loving my new pizza neighbours.

Solid slice of pizza. It's not up to the same standard as the parent restaurant, Il Rione, but it's still a very good pie.

In Cleveland for work this week, and one of my co-workers (who is Brazilian) recommended we try…read morethis place. I thought the building was very cool - it's an old church, with stained glass windows intact. The menu is traditional Brazilian, you order an entree with sides. My colleague said the dishes served were very traditional, so this was my first experience with Brazilian food. Sooooo good! I clean played everything. Very flavorful. I ordered the freijoada, which was rice, collard greens cooked in olive oil and garlic, and a black bean stew that has several types of sausage, beef, and ham cooked in with it, and some cassava flour as well. For dessert, I tried their churros filled with Dulce de leche, and served with ice cream. The service was excellent, our server had food out quickly and checked in with us multiple times. This place is a hidden gem - quiet neighborhood and the food quality punches well above its weight. 10/10 would eat here again.

Good food. Great service! Very overpriced…read more We went on the recommendation of our daughter. With a reservation, we had good seats by a window. Nice lighting and ambience. Our server was wonderful! Two of us got the picanha special. It was presented nicely on a hanger. However, the price was crazy for the amount of meat that it was. I won't talk numbers because that's gauche. Just be sure you know what you're getting into.

Outstanding choice for dining in Cleveland. If you are looking for a quintessential Cleveland…read moreexperience, this is it. The Rowley Inn is located in a nice neighborhood (Tremont) across the street from the Christmas Story house. I had three meals there. The first, loaded pierogis, was the ultimate comfort dish. Pierogis with potato centers were covered in diced kielbasa, bacon (yes, bacon), and covered in cheddar cheese. Ahhhhh. The others at my table raved about the kielbasa and pierogi dish. They also liked the beer selection. How do you know you have a great find? You think about the meal long after it is consumed. Next meal- breakfast. I had the kielbasa and pierogi omelet. Need I say more? Finally, we came back a third time and I ordered the burger. No burger place (save Chuckbox in Tempe, AZ) can match the Rowley burger. The burger is actually seasoned and cooked to order. I had it medium rare. Sheer perfection. Typing this review makes me sad because I live far away from Cleveland. If you are in The Land, you must drop everything you are doing to get to the Rowley Inn. It is a 8 minute drive from downtown.
