This place is awesome. It's really clean inside. The staff were really amazing about my allergies. Even the gluten free pizza crust was good. We're definitely coming back to eat there and play all the games with the kids. Thanks for being so awesome for us. read more

Not bad at all! Got a build your own with protein and unlimited veggies. Very good fast casual pizza, similar to Blaze, Pie Five, etc. Pizza had nice crispy crust with fresh ingredients and seasonings, the restaurant was clean, and people working were friendly. I believe they do have gluten free options as well. Great place and would gladly return next time I'm in town. read more

Rise Pies - Build your own pizza - Pizza Near Me - Youngstown, Ohio

Food is great used to love the one in nile's so I decided to try this one, BIG mistake. Staff was so rude, I guess maybe because i came in at 7:10 and they close at 8 even though we got food to go? Not really sure but the girl who mad me and my husband's pizzas was so rude, she rolled her eyes at everything we asked for. The manager wasn't much better she had an attitude, and took her hair down and put it back up right by the food, disgusting. My recipe said that cashier was Lucy but not sure. read more

Driving through Ohio, I needed a place that the kids would enjoy and I wouldn't hate myself for eating. I came across the ad showing specialized pizzas and salads, not your average pizza. The Kids shared a pizza and my husband and I shared a pizza. We ordered a combo which came with a small salad and drink. Each pizza is made in front of you and you can add spices or toppings as you go, both salads and pizzas. The pizzas are fired in the oven in a matter of minutes. The dough is already prepped for a masterful bake. Beer, tea, juices, and cookies are available at the checkout. Our combos came with drinks. Everyone happy! Only disappointment is no alcohol outside. Didn't see this until we had already purchased drinks. read more

Rise Pies - No alcohol outside. Important to know before purchasing! - Pizza Near Me - Youngstown, Ohio

42 dollars for two pizzas that are small and two drinks. It cost 2.60 for a handful of extra cheese for each of us, which they don't tell you on a unlimited topping pizza. They also did away with the Pepsi freestyle machine. We could have got a decent sit down meal for cheaper than this. Clearly this is why the location in warren closed.

If you want an over priced appetizer this is the place for you pizza are for one person and the price of two pizzas anywhere else

This place is awesome. You can make your own pizza with any toppings. The place is very clean and the staff is very friendly. We can out to this place for this pizza. The pizza from here can't be beat. You can make your own pizza with a large selection of topping. Don't forget to get the meatballs and sauce on the side with ricotta. The food here is one of the best places to eat when out this way. read more

This is the second time I have been to a Rise Pies. On this most recent occasion we had just finished up a college visit at Youngstown State with my daughter. My wife has to eat gluten-free, so we decided to give this a shot since it does have a GF crust option and is only ten minutes south of the campus. We arrived at 1:00 p.m. to an empty dining room. We initially thought they weren't open...sure enough, a few minutes later the crowd started pouring in. The process is very simple and it is a similar concept to Chipotle (as others have noted). Choose your crust, toppings, and seasonings, and they put it in the oven. Three minutes later you have your pizza. Salads are also available and go through the same process, minus the oven obviously. If you are a GF diner they will ask you if it is preference, or an allergy. If you do have an allergy they will change their gloves and will prepare your pizza separately. They actually even bake your pizza in a different part of the oven. The pizzas are ready for pickup at the counter within five minutes. These crusts are fairly large for one person. If you have a small appetite you may get away with sharing with someone. My pizza consisted of meatball crumbles with cheese and diavolo sauce. I love this combination; the spicy red sauce really works with the meatballs. I think the crust is solid as well. I really had no negatives to speak of. My daughter tried a pepperoni pizza with regular sauce and loved it too. My wife, on the other hand, chose a GF crust with regular sauce, pepperoni, and mushroom and was not a fan. She said the GF crust just wasn't very good. I am impressed with the speed, concept, interior decor, price (around $20 for three pizzas), and quality of Rise Pies. These pizzas aren't going to change your life, but they do make a solid pie and serve it in a nice dining space. Will definitely be back. read more

Definitely one of the better pizza places in the Youngstown area, which really isn't saying much. Literally...I've tried pretty much all of them and they're equally about as trash as it gets. Sadly, prior to giving Rise Pies a shot, I'd find myself driving all the way to Pittsburgh once in a while just to get a good pizza. Anyhow....onto the review: It's super easy to find, right by America's Best past Best Buy in Boardman. Parking is plentiful and to equate it to anything; I'd say it's essentially the "Subway" of pizza joints. You pick what you want down the line, then they heat it up and you pay ‍ they claim the pizza takes 160 seconds, but I prefer mine a little darker, my wife doesn't so much, but even she said she'll ask for it "well done" next time. Will definitely go back and I highly recommend. I'll still be sure to grab a pie back in Pittsburgh when I go home to visit though. read more

Very cool idea! Made my own pizza for a reasonable price and speedy time. Beer and wine options make it even better. Wheat option for crust made me happy. read more

i like rise pies!!!!!! they have really good vegan + gluten free options, so my boyfriend and i come here very often

Rise Pies is one of three pizza restaurants I've eaten at in the new "Fast-Casual" category. These all make a personalized pizza for you in less than 4 minutes using very high-temperature ovens. The other two I've experienced are Pizza Studio in the Mall of America, Minneapolis, MN and Pizza Fire, downtown Akron, OH. While I enjoyed all three, Rise Pies is my personal favorite. If you like thin, crispy New York style pizza, then this beats any fast food national pizza chain out there. You can choose from a couple of types of crust, several sauces, several seasonings and several cheeses, and that's before you even get to the point of choosing your toppings. If that's too stressful, there are several types you can order which have pre-determined ingredients. The quality is excellent. I don't say that for just any restaurant. The crust is pure heaven. It meets my personal definition of the perfect crust. It's fun to watch them make the pizza right in front of you and SO fast! It really does only spend three minutes in that 600 degree oven. To top it off, not only do they have Coke products, somewhat of a rarity in pizza joints, but they have not one, but TWO Coca-Cola Freestyle machines. I don't get over to Youngstown too often, but every time go there or pass through, I stop and have another Rise Pies experience. I highly recommend this one. read more

Gluten-free crust!!! This place is awesome. A tad expensive when you get the gluten-free crust and multiple toppings but it was absolutely delicious. There are a ton of sauces, cheeses, and toppings to choose from. read more

Diavolo sauce, fresh basil, goat cheese, sliced Parmigiano, artichoke, caramelized onions, Italian sausage... Are you drooling yet? And kicking yourself for eating lunch at Taco Bell the last time you were in Boardman? You should be. As near as I can tell, Rise Pies did everything right. Few businesses manage to attain that level of perfection. You can pick 1 of 8 already designed pies or make your own. I like designing my own. Then you can pick from several crust options, several sauce options, different meats, vegetables, cheeses, spices... And then Bam! 160 seconds later, it's done! Your own pizza you designed for your own taste buds! It will be delicious, because how could it not be? Not too greasy, the right amount of food, quality ingredients, decent prices. What more could you want? read more

Very good. Tues special cheese pizzas are great for families. I will return. Thank you. Place was clean and emotes were pleasant.

First time eating there this past weekend, it's a very good idea and the pizza is amazing. But the staff seems to be rushed in everything they do and the floors and tables were not too clean. Not sure if I will be coming back. read more

The folks that said Chipotle meets pizza were right on the money. You pick your dough, pick your toppings, a few minutes in the oven and voila - pizza! I had the margherita which was a basic sauce, fresh mozz and basil pizza. The sauce and mozz was ok but they put such a small amount of basil you could barely taste it. Crust was super thin - definitely NYC style if you like to fold your slices this is for you. It is a good alternative to Chipotle if you want pizza instead of Mexican but I would not say it was the best pizza that I have had. read more

I am in pizza heaven! We tried Rise for the first time today and already I cannot wait to come back and try it again! Think of it like Subway or Chipotle meets Pizza. What makes it so very awesome is that you have so many choices to choose from and for 8.95 you get unlimited toppings!!!! They have three crusts - original, wheat or gluten free, then you have several choices for your sauce that vary from traditional to Roma tomato sauce, pesto, even BBQ!! Moving down you have more cheese choices than you could ever think of from a "fast" food pizza joint. Mozz, fresh mozzarella, parm, ricotta, even a vegan cheese and goat cheese. I went with shredded mozzarella, over a light traditional sauce, I also used parm, fresh mozzarella, and a Romano. For meat I was elated to see shrimp on the selection. It is an additional cost but I did not mind. Being from Louisiana I live a shrimp pizza and this is the first one I've had in 13 years and it made me so happy! I also added bacon. The pizza takes only 160 seconds to cook and it comes out cooked to perfection. I savored every single bite! My sister did the same cheeses and added oregano and black olives. She too enjoyed her pizza and cannot wait to come here again. If you are out and about and want a great pizza stop in and try it for yourself! It's wonderful! read more

Rise Pies - Lunch today was amazing! Loved The uniqueness of Rise and will come again! - Pizza Near Me - Youngstown, Ohio

Great place for quick and tasty vegan pizza. First time trying Rise Pies and was extremely pleased. The manager and one of the employees was very helpful and knowledgeable on what items were vegan or not. The employee who made my pizza did skimp a little on the toppings, but I believe she was new. Pizza was crisp and flavorful, would highly recommend if you're in the area and looking for a tasty quick meal. read more

Rise Pies - Vegan pizza with red sauce, vegan cheese, basil, green pepper and onion - Pizza Near Me - Youngstown, Ohio

I do not like the pizza here. Yes, you can create your own and yes, the option you get are in many forms (healthy, meat, veggie..) howver, the crust is aweful. I have been here 2-3times and have tired both the pizza and the salad option.. I get better pizza from the freezer at walmart or just making my own. The salad was nothing to writw home about.. better at Giant Eagle salad bar. If you havent tried it.. maybe you'd go but if you want real pizza, this is not the place. read more

I have not had a pizza since returning from Italy 6 months ago. I have been on the hunt for thin, crispy crust tasting the combination of the topping flavors and not just dough. Well I finally found that pizza. Thank you Rise Pies for being my new go to place for authentic tasting Italian pizza. read more

This is a great place to go to when you're craving a quick and delicious pizza or salad. The portion sizes are amazing, even for a side salad, I can never finish in one sitting. Vernon's meatballs with hot peppers and ricotta cheese is a must every single time you go here! They also serve alcohol, which is pretty cool for a chipotle-like style restaurant. Never had a disappointing experience! read more

I actually really enjoy this place. The chipotle of pizza I call it. It's kinda pricey but still worth it. I have tried all 3 sauces and they were all Pretty good. I don't really like the artisan shells but other than that I'll keep going. The staff is pretty nice too. read more

This fast growing national pizza chain is based in Youngstown and I had the pleasure of trying their flagship location while in the area visiting friends. You can tell there is a great community feel in this location, and food and service seems to be just a bit bettter than the other locations which are all great also. Turned around a vegetarian pizza in the promised 2 minutes when someone in my carpool group was running late for an important social function. All smiles and no rudeness / tension like many fast food establishments when pushed to deliver. Visit the rise in your area! read more

Sorry to say this was my second and final time here. Pizza red sauce was very bitter and really a disappointment . A salad and pizza with and drink is close to 30.00 for two. I don't mind paying but I want some quality . We have been to Pizza Fire in Niles twice great food and for less than 20.00 you get two pizza, drinks and salads or sides. I ordered a pizza with extra cheese at Rise Pies very skimpy Hope you take a long look at your product and change a few things read more

Ate her before was good not great and again this time was the same. The only difference this time is I got violently ill. Therefore I needed to take a few stars away for that.... Will not be returning read more

Highly recommend for a cheap delicious meal! We have been getting the big salads with tons of toppings, and meatballs with ricotta and not peppers. I can never finish it all, it's so filling. We got two salads and two orders of meatballs for like $20 for dinner the other night. It's great! Great flavors, fast, and friendly staff. There's plenty if places to sit inside even when they are busy. read more

Great place to take the family. The food is always great and the staff is a 10/10. One of the managers I think his name is Zach is always so friendly and makes pizzas like he was born to do it! Bravo! read more

First time visit to this new place in Boardman. They had me at the moment I opened the door and the smell of fresh dough. This place reminds me of Pieology in Southern California. You start with a choice of dough, then your sauce, seasoning, variety of cheeses, veggies, and a variety of meat toppings. Mine was cooked to perfection. I highly recommend this place. For $8.95 you can get unlimited toppings. read more

Rise Pies is the best! I have a son with allergies and until rise pies he only got chicken breast and broccoli everywhere we went. On our 1st trip to Rise Pies in Boardman everyone was knowledgable and helpful. My 2year old son got to eat like everyone else for the first time. He got a gluten free crust, vegan cheese, and picked out nearly every vegetable they have. And they have a ton of options. Everything is always fresh and tastes great. We've been going there for over a year a couple of times a month without a single bad experience. Everyone who works there remembers my son and they always treat him fantastic. With that said I have no allergies and this is flat out the best pizza around. If you haven't been to Rise Pies yet put it at the top of your list. It's fast, fresh and great! read more

They make some good pies. If you are around one of these chains, you need to give them a try. read more

Rise Pies - Have a pie your way in minutes. Mine was so good. Spicy sauce, green peppers, onions, pineapple and peppers. - Pizza Near Me - Youngstown, Ohio

Rise pies is a nice place for a good quick pizza. Went with a couple friends on weekday at lunch and they weren't terribly busy and it only took about 10 - 15 minutes to get my pizza from the start of the order to making it. I got a simple cheese pizza with pepperoni and mozzarella with a few spices. The pizza came out crispy, a little black on the crust but that's how I like my pizza. Overall a good experience. read more

This place and idea is a novelty. It is a fun idea that children would enjoy but the pizza itself was nothing great. Not that it was bad. I enjoyed my experience but this not where I would go for really good pizza. That said, it is a "fun" experience that I think children would enjoy. It is certainly a spot I think you should hit up at least once read more

O wow! So many flavors on one pizza in such a short amount of time! Yyyyyy no Rise Pies in my home town of Alliance:(

The pizza was bland and tasteless. I have gotten better pizza from the freezer section in my local grocery store. There are to many good pizza places in our area to waste your time and money here. read more

Thin crust fire oven pizza in 160 secs...cool concept but that is it for me.... Had pepperoni pizza and the margherita pizza...crust with little flavor and rest was just mediocre and flat.... I've been to Italy twice and remember the authentic thin crust pizza.... This has a lot to be desired... read more

Others have hit it righ on the head when they say Chipotle meets pizza. Do like the concept of picking your ingredients on your pizza. So, you pick the crust, sauce, toppings etc. Then the pizza goes through the conveyor belt oven and you have pizza in a few minutes. I think it is just me and I like my pizza the old fashion way. Taking longer than 2 minutes and in a pizza oven. The pizza I had was not bad. Just was OK. It was not cheap either. read more
