I would put this firmly in the top 5 in Cleveland. Hard to say who has the crown. Walk in, place the order and have a good conversation with the owner. Really good guy who has a passion for pizza. No phone so come in and have a chat and watch a master at work! Pizza is ready in 10 minutes!

Fresh basil and the sauce is amazing!  Perfect crust!

Best pizza ever. Brick oven. Fresh ingredients made to order. Authentic Italian. Cash only but sooo worth it. Sausage is amazing! Normally don't like sausage on my pizza but this place does it right so it's my number two topping now

This is the place. There's no phone number it's cash only and it's a one man show. Came in around 5:25 and placed an order the line was a few people deep. After putting in the order take in one of the bars in the area because wait times can be around an hour. Pete takes his time and does each order individually he's an artist. The crust was crispy but with the new chew and the sauce had a great tang to it. This is the closest you can get to Lucali in Cleveland. Don't tell anyone about this place just keep it a secret. Or the line will go down the block

Just amazing! Delicious, authentic and fresh. Cash only, but the back is right down the street and the pizza is ready quickly.

Went in yesterday for pizza with my boyfriend. Realized on google it said it was more of a "take…read moreout" place so we ordered ahead. Coming into the store there was a cute counter by the window if you did decide to sit inside and eat. We came all the way from Kent for the pizza and wanted to try a slice before we left for home so my boyfriend ate a slice in the parking lot really quick. An employee (possibly the owner) came out with napkins and offered us to sit inside. We declined as we had to leave but the man graciously went inside and brought us out cold water bottles for our drive home! It was such a thoughtful gesture. Now onto the pizza. It was delicious! We ordered a regular pepperoni pizza and the white Neapolitan style pizza. It wouldn't let me add pineapple to my pizza online, which was fine because it didn't need it, the pizza was so good! My boyfriend loved his pepperoni pizza and I also enjoyed my Neapolitan style white pizza. It had a great garlicky flavor and was crispy on the crust. Will definitely be back to try the margarita pizza next! So if you're looking for a great pizza with hospitality I recommend coming to Joe De's!

First time visit and it was not a disappointment by any stretch. It was absolutely delicious. We…read moregot an extra large sausage and pepperoni and added garlic. A gentleman behind the counter, who I'm assuming is the owner, was very professional very friendly and went out of his way to even give my wife a drink out of the cooler. Additionally, we had a chicken Parm sub. It was very good and has a very light/homemade bread which is a must try. The pizza shop itself is very clean and has a welcoming atmosphere. Love supporting mom and pop shops like this. Keep up the great work Joe De's

I did my research on some pizza places in the Cleveland area before visiting in December 2025, and…read moreIl Rione came up. When I saw the ratings, I decided to give it a try while I was in Cleveland. On the day I went, one of my closest friends who is from Cleveland happened to be in the area at the same time I was, so we decided to try Il Rione together before having Mitchell's Homemade Ice Cream afterward. Parking was a bit tricky, as we were unable to park right in front of the restaurant, but fortunately we found a spot reasonably close, so we did not have to walk too far. When we first walked in, the first thing I noticed was the atmosphere. Not only did the restaurant smell amazing from the baking pizzas, but it was also tastefully decorated for Christmastime and cozy. We were seated immediately, and our server was attentive and helpful, making us feel welcome and even offering suggestions on their best-selling pizzas. I ended up ordering the sausage pizza, and while the pizza as a whole was outstanding, the sauce was the best I have ever had. Whatever their sauce recipe is, it was unbelievable, and it will be difficult to top that particular sauce. My friend enjoyed his pizza as well, saying it was one of the best pizzas he had ever tasted. Il Rione is one of the best pizzas I have ever had. I will be more than happy to return the next time I am in the Cleveland area.

Is the interior small, cute and cozy? Yes. Do you have to wait quite a while to be seated because…read moreof the aforementioned small aspect of this place? Yes. Since they don't take reservations, mentally prepare yourself for the wait. I came here with three friends on a Friday around 6:00/6:30 and waited around 50 minutes. It was nice outside so we just hung around outside of the restaurant. When we were seated the service was fast. We opted for the arugula salad and rione salad for the table and the salads were honestly delicious. For pizza, we ordered the larger size sausage pie (red sauce, mozzarella, roasted peppers, sautéed onions, garlic and parmesan). Thin crust with a good bite that holds its integrity pretty decently. Overall, this os probably one of the better pizzas in Cleveland.
