Food, staff and owners are great! Will return! Pizza was spot on! Salad was fresh and delicious!

Incredible. Dined in, walked down the block for an adult beverage and they had our car towed. No other cars in the lot and day after Thanksgiving so the downtown was deserted. Will never go back. read more

Over charge for pizza and when you bring it to their attention they don't honor what's one their website

Probably one of my favorite places to get a pizza. They have the very best bread sticks EVER!!! The runny ranch dipping sauce they have is fantabulous!! Great Great Pizza at a very good price. If you're ever in Ada, OH do yourself a favor and stop. read more

This place is like the diner version of a pizza shop, in every good way possible. The ambiance makes it clear that nothing much has changed since the 70s, and you know that much of the building is held together with years of accumulated pizza grease and memories. The breadsticks are probably the best I've ever had, owing to their exceptional pizza dough recipe. The ranch is also top notch, the ranch by which all other ranches are compared. Unfortunately, they appear to have downgraded to worse cheese since I was in school here, because it's kind of rubbery and not as melty. Or maybe the oven is just not as good. The subs really sing - they're the perfect ratio of italian loaf to melty cheese... Your dining choices in Ada are limited, but this one is worth the stop. read more

Padrone's of Ada - Artful mural. - Pizza Near Me - Ada, Ohio

I would give no stars if possible. Placed an order for a sub and a salad for delivery. Received it an hour later on a Sunday afternoon. The salad cost me 3.25 an came in a small container with 3 tomato slices and a little shredded cheese. What a ripoff. I have eaten in the dining room and the last time there the waitress rolled her eyes when we asked for drink refills. This place has serious service problems. read more

Padrone's of Ada - a salad in a styrofoam container - Pizza Near Me - Ada, Ohio

Not very good, floppy and funny taste. Filler that's all it is not tasty! If this is the best in Ada I feel bad for them.

I had a 'life changing" event here while passing through Ada to promote Free Comic Book Day for the Alter Ego comic store in Lima. I've never been to Padrone's, but every client I had in Ada and Bluffton raved about this place! The menu is huge for a pizza joint. Pastas, salads, soups, a variety of appetizers, wraps, etc. The staff while busy preparing for what was obviously going to be a busy weekday evening and still took excellent care of me. I had a 10" supreme deluxe hand-tossed pizza. It was SOOOOOooooo good. I took half of it home with me and it was even memorable warmed up! My table was wobbly but that was the only thing wrong with my visit at Padrone's for a late lunch. I thoroughly enjoyed my Mountain Dew and pizza while watching the rain come down! read more

The best pizza in Ada, hands down. My favorite all through college! Try the cheese filled breadsticks with their home-made ranch.... heaven! (And artery clogging, I'm sure.) This of course, is ONU's favorite pizza place, especially on Friday and Saturday nights. If you order then, be prepared for a long wait. Still, something certainly worth waiting for! read more

I have to admit, after living in NYC for a year (I went to college in Ada), I have become very picky of my pizza, the bar has raised tremendously. When I returned back to Ada to visit, I thought to myself: "There is no way that I will enjoy Padrone's, the makers of my weekly pizza and wings for the previous 4 years, as much as I used too". However, when I returned, I gave it a shot and ordered my typical assortment of food: large pepperoni and sausage pizza, bread sticks and barbecue wings. When all was said and done, I was still very happy with the taste, quality, and consistency. Even in comparison to the "Big Apple", Padrone's still holds there own. I've learned that even in small town America, you can find mouth-watering pizza, with their own unique flavor. Much praise to Padrone's for proving me wrong, and making awesome food! p.s. they deliver fast too! read more

My absolute favorite pizza place in Ada! Not many traditional pizza parlors exist nowadays, but this is one! When my parents would visit me when I was in college on the weekend, we would eat here after church on Sunday. Start off with the antipasta salad with their homemade ranch dressing, super flavorful! We then split an XL Philly cheesesteak pizza, and get a large free, so we get half pepperoni and half spinach. All the toppings are super fresh and they are generous topping the pizza with them! I cannot wait to have an excuse to go back to Ada just to eat here! read more

I had a pretty good time here while briefly passing through Ada. It's been awhile since I dined in at a pizza place that didn't feature some kind of coal or wood-fired conversation-piece oven. That small town pizza parlor smell wafted over me and I was reminded of days gone by. I've never been to Padrone's, but my dining partner went to college in Ada and raved about this place and his good times inside of it. To be honest, half the fun was watching him have fun. The breadsticks & ranch were excellent. That ranch was, indeed, live changing (the slogan on the menu refers to their food being life-changing). The bread sticks were fluffy on the inside, perfect crispness on the outside. Overall, the menu is huge for a pizza joint. Pastas, salads, soups, a variety of apps, wraps, etc. We stuck with a classic pepperoni and mushroom handtossed pizza. It was aight. Not bad, but similar to other small-town pizza joints that people decry as the "best ever" but really it has a lot more to do with nostalgia over bygone years. Our booth table was creaky, but that just added to the charm. Definitely a fun little stop, especially passing through on a snowy night. read more

Can't go wrong with the chicken bacon white pizza and breadsticks...with ranch of course. Their pizza and breadsticks don't disappoint and their ranch dressing is the best! Worth the drive to the cornfields of Ada! read more

The only reason it's a three star is because the food is immaculate! It is so good! The potato skins are to die for. I'd like to say that I worked in a pizza place before and I understand that it gets busy and stressful sometimes. However... they seem to have trouble seeing online orders. The past two times I ordered online, they didn't see my order and I had to wait an extra 30 minutes. One time they still didn't make it because they thought we "canceled the order," but it was clear that we didn't. We ended up getting it an hour and a half after we ordered it. Also, the reason we were ordering online is because it seems like they unplug the phones sometimes (which makes sense if they are super busy). However, when we went in to order, they were all sitting on their cellphones not doing any work... So it seemed that they unplugged the phones so they didn't have to work. Lastly, they don't wear masks and they should be wearing masks right now. Taco Bell just had an outbreak, so they should be wearing masks since they are working with food. But like I said before, the food tastes so good. Best pizza in town! Just a flawed work environment. read more

We decided to try this place out based on recommendations of their home made ranch dressing. I'm glad we did, the stuffed bread sticks we're about the thickness of a paper towel tube yet still fluffy and light. The what pizza with ranch sauce was delicious and they don't skimp on the toppings, I had more bacon on one piece than most places put on an enotr pizza. Be sure to try out the cheesecake pizza, we intend to take it back to the hotel to eat later but ended up eating the whole thing before we made it back. read more

Menu revamp recently. Food ok, nothing to write home about. I got the veggie sub and disappointed. It was all of 5 mushrooms, a few chopped onions, a few tiny green peppers and green olives. I asked for black olives and they forgot. Also no banana peppers like on menu. Cheese was ok on it but it was lacking in all veggies. If I wasn't in a hurry I would have taken a fail photo. Padrones used to be a staple for our family but we are breaking up for now. I can get a much fuller sub for my money in any of other places here in Ada. read more

The pizza is a great value. A bit too greasy for my taste, however, but, nonetheless, it's pretty delicious. The prices are quite low and this is a great place to head for a quick bite to eat for a good price. read more

Had one bad experience in the past but today made up for it - I called and asked for a special order to be delivered to a fraternity, and the person who helped me (I'm so sorry I forget your name!!) was extremely kind and helpful! I asked to have this fraternity's letters put on the three pizzas with pepperoni and banana peppers and the man on the phone was super awesome about all of it. Will definitely be going back :) read more

Very good pizza. Nice chewy crust with a sweeter sauce. The bbq chicken pizza is excellent as well. Will definitely be back.

Food is good. But it takes 1 hour to be served. We used to go several times a week. Can't afford the long wait.

I am reminded of the line from the Disney animated film, The Emperor's New Grove... editing it a bit: "Is there anything on the menu that is not frozen?" Everything I have had here on a pizza has been frozen. I asked if the crust was hand-made, and they said yes, but anyone could tell that it had been mass-produced and if not frozen, had been pre-made and refrigerated. The sauce was clearly not handmade. It had a metallic, sweet taste that only comes from corn syrup and food stabilizers. They just can't decide what kind of dining option to be. For pizza, go somewhere else. read more

Being from Chicago, pizza elsewhere is never as good as it is "back home". I was pleasantly surprised by Padrone's and had to add my review! At one point back in the day, the shop was called "Pisanello's", and my boyfriend just had to have it again during our alumni visit back to ONU. He was bummed to find out that it was no longer the place he remembered, but we tried it anyway. We ordered a medium pepperoni pizza with hand-tossed crust and an order of breadsticks. The breadsticks were like nothing I'd had before! They were quite large, and it appeared they were baked, as their outer layers were slightly toasted and crispy. Although we ordered them with pizza sauce to dip, I've read and been told that their homemade ranch was the way to go! We always order our pizza slightly well-done (for crispier crust & toppings), and our pizza arrived perfectly cooked and hot. There was the exact "right amount" of pepperonis, cheese and sauce; the crust was crispy and truly perfect. Although I may never be back in the area and get to enjoy Padrone's again, I'm glad we made a stop in. If you're in the mood for pizza while in Ada, check this place out! read more

we ordered 2 pizzas at 615 pm, so 8 pm rolls around and of course they didn't tell us how long it would be, we called back and asked to talk to a manager, he came on we asked for our money back and he hung up on us.... that is not how you run a business and we were very cordial on the phone.... get your shit togeather read more
