This has been my fav pizza place for years. Went in last night (because they refuse to be on ordering apps and I'm 1 street out of their delivery zone). The pizza has lost its charm. It was very tasteless. The water I got was truly disgusting and tasted like garbage. It clearly came out of an old faucet. This place is wonderful, I'm not sure what's going on right now, but hard pass until they fix it. read more

Great Pizza!! If your looking for a little place to get great pizza this is the place warm atmosphere and friendly service .

Used to love it . Ordered a TINY SALAD that was $10 - we though for sure it would family sized as its only iceberg lettuce cheese and olives. Huge rip off and lettuce was very wilted and brown. Back to Longos we go! Pizza arrived cold and was just ok. Too many other great places out there and a six inch pizza and a small salad was $40. Done. Sorry. read more

Excellent pizza and generally friendly service depending upon who serves you. We go here at least once a month.

First time ordering pizza from here tonight! This may be the best pizza in lake county! It was so good - piping hot, tons of flavor! You need to try this place if you're looking for pizza! read more

Master Pizza Painesville - a pepperoni and sausage pizza - Pizza Near Me - Painesville, Ohio

We come here to Master Pizza monthly! Always the side salad and the Broccoli Cheddar pizza with bacon! Always cooked to perfection and great service! read more

asked for a pizza with half cheese only and half olives/bananas peppers and they gave me a pizza with olives on one half and that half had no cheese and the other half had cheese and banana peppers. asked for a new delivery and they were confused i wanted it delivered again so asked for a refund which they said can take a week to be refunded. way too many other pizza places out there to have issues like this. don't eat here. read more

Not worth all the hype. I went here before and didn't really enjoy it. When I got home and finished the pizza it tasted way better. I had it to go the next day because I enjoyed it so much and again I gave it time to cool off and at it.. It was only average. Here we are a few months later I decided to order delivery and even after waiting a while the pizza was still horrible. It was so bland and the sauce was weird. There was so much cheese on it but again it didn't taste like anything. I'm so disappointed and upset that I wasted $15 on this. I only give it two stars because of the convenience of delivery. read more

Master Pizza Painesville - Pizza Near Me - Painesville, Ohio

Master Pizza Painesville has been around for a long time. Its a terrific little pizza joint. The recipe is just the same as it was 40 years ago. Their sauce is what makes the pizza different & really tasty. It has a nice subtle sweet n tangy flavor. Also they use just the right amount of italian spices. You can also get various subs & sandwiches along with a nice selection of salads, appetizers and pasta entrees. They serve BBQ ribs too! Beer and Wine for adults & lots of soft drinks for the kids. A nice family restaurant. Eat in, Carry out and Delivery. I think you will be happy if you eat there. read more

Nice little mom and pop stuck in the 1980's but the food is good, staff is friendly, prices are fair.

Arrived at 8:10, the sign on the door said open til 9. We sat there for 10 minutes while the staff ignored us. Finally the waiter for the table across from us came over and said they closed at 8. Pizza is good but service is bad read more

I felt i should update my review because of my more recent visits. The customer service is not good. I have had the price changed on me more than once and my order has had mistakes. It might be better when the older gentlemen is there working the oven,but he has not been for my last couple of orders. This is the pizza i received last night. If i wouldn't have already paid i would have not taken it. read more

Master Pizza Painesville - Mess - Pizza Near Me - Painesville, Ohio

Great pizza! Love the "crimped" crust. Salads are generous with the cheese and their poppyseed dressing is yum! Will be back!

We used to go to the master pizza years ago when it was Mentor when I was in high school. I tried this restaurant for the 1st time tonight I was blown away by the food how great it was from the piping hot pizza to the hot subs fresh from the oven we will definitely be going back this is not a drive by pizza place. My 10 year old grandson said that this is his favorite pizza place of all time. read more

We come here all the time and really love getting there meatball subs. Not sure what's going on lately though. We ordered the same as always and brought it home only to find they are now skimping on their sandwiches. Meatball sub had 3 meatballs cut in half for a twelve inch sub. 3 halves on each side, really?? I was wondering why the were laying on their side and looked really flat. It was mostly bread. I get that sometimes you have to cut back a little but this is ridiculous. Such a shame. read more

The best pizza in Painesville. Homemade sausage, great sauce and an amazing crust. I can't believe more people do not know about this place. read more

Cannot say enough good things about their pizza. Ate it before and craved it monthly when pregnant - one taste and you will see why! So crispy and delicious is the golden brown crust and pizza bottom that it will melt in your mouth a little bit. Not soggy - never soggy - but so good! And they know how to cook it for the cheese to brown and bubble - so few places do that. Order the pepperoni, order the Hawaiian (hubbys favorite), order the sausage - all delish! read more

From the outside Master Pizza looks like a little hole in the wall, but go inside and it's a very laid back italian joint. Family friendly, neighborhood feel. They have great specials everyday and their pizza has some of the best flavor around. Definitely get yourself a dinner salad too, they don't skimp on toppings, especially cheese! Their Italian dressing is the best! read more

I love this place! I'm sad that this one is the only one that has this menu, because it's by far the best. Their broccoli and cheddar pizza and mashed potato pizzas are both AMAZING. And their salad dressing is slightly different then the other locations also. This one is less sweet and more vinegary. Super yum. The other locations that aren't independently owned like this one are good, but pale in comparison to this location. read more

Just went to Master Pizza in Painseville . Worse pizza ever, barely any sauce , undercooked , gooey greasy cheese . Asked for napkins and you'd think I asked for her first born . Will never go back .. I remembered how good mayfield master pizza was and thought I'd try ... Horrible maybe it's just the Sunday staff but won't try again read more

Yum! Just tried master pizza for the first time tonight and I'm impressed. Just wish it was a little closer. I don't know if I'll drive 20 min every time I want pizza. read more

We always order take out pizza..the pizza is always really good! We always ask for extra sauce and they do and excellent job. We recently started ordering garlic bread and oh my it is delicious! Love this place! read more

Pizza was awesome! Best crust I ever had. It took over 30 minutes to get the pizza, but was worth the wait!

You have been warned. I would strongly advise to stay clear of this establishment. Person taking orders was courteous enough. Person making the pizzasSeemed irritated that I showed up an hour before closing and mentioned you're only taking to go orders which is what I want to do first place. I came back to pick it up 15 minutes before the store closed and they already had a closed sign on the door. Pizza was undercooked and very greasy. Will never go there again. read more

Absolutely one of the best pizzas I've had!!! Great service, outstanding people. You will not be disappointed. read more

Ordered a large pepperoni mushroom and sausage pizza...for delivery. It was perfect. Hot, the crust held up and the flavor was on point. This is my new go-to pizza choice. read more

Several years ago I was delivered bad meat. The manager or owner tried to convince me I didn't know what pork ribs taste like. Pretty sure they shouldn't taste like rot. Fast forward a few years to a friend wanting me to go for her birthday. Got a pizza and it was very good. Have been back once or twice since and the food has been great... but badly overpriced. read more

OK. Let's get straight to it. This pizza is too good for mortals. Grew up here - so I'm biased. Small town boy who left and ate some big world meals. Paris. Rome. Brussels. New York. San Fran. Alina in Chicago. Whatever. Ate all the deep dish. And the New York fold and eats. And all I got to say is .... Bow down to the Master ...b's Bobby Flay? Giadda? Mario and Lydia? All you wanna be's... You don't know ....sh....what you don't know. Trust me. This is the real deal, real deal. I've had your stuff, you can't bring it like the Master. Real Italian sausage? Check. Pure mozz - check. Concentrated flavor mushrooms - check. check. check! What can I say? When the plane lands, my family knows I ain't coming home until I roll up in to the Master. They even got a map to prove that folks all over the world know where to come when they want pizza done right. So steer 'rem G6's up in to Hopkins and find out what life is all about. Too sad it's so far away (I'm ready to open the Hilton Head branch tomorrow, folks!!!) Call me! read more

This is exactly the pizza I grew up with. Great crust, large toppings and not afraid of calories. It's nice when tradition never changes. Try the deluxe, it's heaven on a plate read more

My mom and I came to painesville to check out the lake for a couple days and this was our favorite meal! Pizza was full of flavor and had plenty of toppings. Try the veggie with broccoli and the garlic bites were great even cold the next day! If you get a side salad you might consider asking for light cheese, ours came with about 12 oz of cheese on top! Definitely recommend trying Master Pizza! read more

I grew up in Lake County. We've lived in Dayton since 1973 and have travelled extensively. No pizzeria compares! (Be advised it stands apart and is not part of the other Master Pizzas in the area.) Nearly every visit of ours to Cleveland includes this pizza. The delicious pinched-edge crust even supports a deluxe which includes house-made Italian sausage chunks (no pellets here), fresh mushrooms, red pepper strips, etc. Try one soon and thank me later read more

We heard it was good, so we tried a pizza. Nice amount of cheese and toppings. I prefer a little more sauce and thinner crust. But this is a good pizza and I like how they've been part of the community for a long time. read more

There was only one waitress working to what seemed to be an out of the ordinary still busy crowd at 7pm. We were sat immediately. Took probably about 5 minutes for the waitress to come take a drink order but again, busy-1waitress. Was probably made more irritating by the fact that she took other drink orders at tables that arrived after us. But, oh well. 45 minutes after placing our order we notice that the same table who was served drinks before us, who ordered after us received their food. Then another table who were sat a good 20 minutes after us was served. All of us received pizza. When I questioned the waitress her response was extremely rude to the point that the people in the booth next to us were like "wow, could she be even more rude?" I would've been willing to turn a blind eye to all of this, and have never left a review for anything on here, because I felt for her for how busy it was, as I also served tables in college. Pizza is good, may order take out again, but the service, this waitress in particular really needs to work on her people skills and possibly find a new profession. read more

Love the pizza and posted the menu in the photos section. They don't have a website and it's not on their FB page! read more

See all

The pizza was terrible. I ordered two pizzas they were floating in sauce and not cooked through. When I called to tell them they said to bring back half of the pizza and they would credit my order. I've been going there for 20 years, sadly I won't be back. read more

We visited back in August. Food was fantasic despite a short wait. We will be visiting again from out of town. read more

Master Pizza Painesville - Ordered the all meat pizza. - Pizza Near Me - Painesville, Ohio

Always awesome pizza! Best in Lake County.

Delicious thick crusts yet horrible pizza sauce; super good Mexican salad.

I grew up in Lake County and whenever I'm back in town, the Master Pizza in Painesville is always a required stop. The crust and sauce are tops. I'm still a big kid and enjoy peeking at the pizzas baking in the ferris-wheel-style oven. The ingredients are fresh, including the mushrooms. They deliver and those delivery people work non stop back and forth delivering to all of their customers who also concur that it's the best pizza in town. read more

This is still the very best pizza in the greater cleveland area my family has been eating there Pizza for over 30 years
