Best Pizza I've ever had in Ohio. Been coming there since 1972. Never disappointed in quality or service. See picture for address and phone.

Meh. I love the 70s Italian motif, kinda cheesy but fun. The cheesy motif is the only cheese you won't be up charged for. My angel hair pasta was overcooked and $2 for 3 little Chef Boyardee sized meatballs is steep. My friend didn't finish his angel hair and clams. His wife said the eggplant was very difficult to cut. The only person who was happy was my wife (yay!!), she had pizza. It's been about 8 years since we've been here last but my buddy wanted to try it. It'll be at least that long before I come back again. It's too bad, it's a cool little place.

A little hole in the wall Italian restaurant. Pasta comes in a huge plate, but the serving is small. Meat sauce was good, but if I'm paying $10+ give your customers the deserved amount. Bread isn't unlimited so save it for your meal. The decor is a little off the wall. There's a small room by the bathrooms for "private dining". Kinda cracked me up. The women's bathroom looks like a 13 year old's bedroom. Very clean with a Paris theme...Italy and Paris...interesting. The service was pretty solid. I wouldn't go back unless I was stranded on Barber Road for some reason. I wouldn't go back simply because I don't feel like paying $40 for two people to eat small portions of mediocre food.

Mini pizza

Been meaning to try this place since I moved to town. Finally tried it tonight and my family was disappointed. As another review said, my mom and boyfriend also smelled mildew and dust. Men's bathroom looked like it was completely stained. The bathroom smelled like mothballs and was just very outdated. Service was slow and she didn't listen to specific requests, but overall she was nice. Mom got a salad and it tasted like it was from a bag, stale and very small portion also. Garlic bread was the size of a sub bun. Mom got the gnocchi with Alfredo sauce. I ordered a mini plain pizza and my boyfriend ordered the Buffalo chicken pizza. The Alfredo sauce was straight water and did not taste like Alfredo at all. Mini pizza was the size of a hockey puck and was very bland. Chicken Buffalo pizza had no Buffalo taste and the chicken looked like it came from a can. Couldn't drink tea or even water because it comes from a well. Decoration is tacky and overboard, booths were outdated and location is not good either. We could see into the kitchen and dishes were piled up and the cook was not wearing gloves when he came up near the register. I'd only recommend this place if you don't have taste buds.

What kind of presentation is this?

Once you see that you have to pay to have melted cheese on your lasagna or even shredded cheese on a salad, you'll leave. Isn't melted cheese a must on lasagna?! Oh and you know those paper ketchup holders that they have at Burger King? You get a cup of sherbet after dinner, that's literally what they put it in and bring for $1.50 if ordered separatley! Their house dressing is sweet and sour! Shouldn't it be like ITALIAN! You should see people in this place all gussied up, why?! Just because the food is way over priced and dimly lit doesn't mean it's the place to have a romantic or celebratory dinner! Fazoli's is more high class. I will say the service was good and friendly just wish the food matched. :(

The food is bad, the management is rude, and be prepared to wait a couple hours for bad food and rude service.

Sooooo...lived up to the hype. Hard to get to, nothing is really near it. It was great. I got the…read moreNew York Pastrami or something like that. Price seemed in-line with other places, staff was particularly nice. People mentioned MAGA stuff (huge RED flag for me) and I DID see a Trump/Vance sticker (wtf?) but I also saw a Biden/Harris sticker. So if you are reading this Ms. Primo...how about: no stickers? I don't want to ruin my appetite thinking about Trump. That being said, the sandwich was the best sandwich I have eaten in Ohio. I will return and get some weird thing when I go back. Building was old a full of knick-knacks. They seemed to sell retail beer, but the selection wasn't amazing but they had some interesting stuff.

25 years of waiting and just disappointment…read more Nice warm day out, and me and my mom decided to go get something to eat for lunch. We hadn't been here before, but she has been waiting 25 years to come here. She has lived in Akron for all her life, and Kenmore for 10 of those. The bread was soggy, the ingredients were not quality whatsoever, it even looks like they cooked the sandwich with the lettuce on it. The pickles, the only thing free with this expensive meal, were soggy. We paid $41 for this meal for just utter disappointment. Not only that, but these are MAGA Trumpers, displayed everywhere, which is embarrassing in a town with such diversity as Kenmore has. Most of your customers are black, so this is just insulting.

The day has finally arrived, you've spent all week hittin the weights and huffin on the treadmill…read morestriving to get that body even the Rock would envy BUT today is special. It's cheat day! Yes my friend today is the day you sink your teeth into a delicious piece of pizza, tasty fried chicken or anything else to save your sanity. Well I have just the place for you. Tucked deep inside a residential neighborhood in Kenmore lies a fantastic little market, and in said market is some of the best take out food around. Well what's the place man? Where is this oasis you speak of? Well folks I'm talking about Showcase Meats located at 1971 16 St SW just off of Kenmore Blvd in Akron. A family owned business that's been around for over 40 years, Showcase Meats was built on word of mouth so clearly they're doing something right. The market is small and there is zero seating (take out place remember) but that's ok. Once inside you're greeted by classic Americana eats such as pizza, fried chicken, jo jo's, wings, a bakery case full of fresh pastries and more. Showcase also offers specialty pizzas, hot sandwiches as well as hot and cold subs made fresh to order. There are a few salad choices on the menu but I have to be honest, I'm not here to eat salad (please don't judge). Today I opted for a meatball sub and it was on point! What makes Showcase a such a jewel is cost, you can easily walk out of Showcase with a crazy good lunch for under $10, not too shabby! To the rear of the market you'll see 2 show cases, one full of a nice variety of fresh tasty meats and another showcase packed with side salads such as ham salad, rigatoni salad, potato salad and much much more. Showcase also sells meat bundles for anyone looking to stock up the freezer. Like I've said this place is small but it's got all the bases covered. Showcase just keeps it simple and I like that. The market has great carry out food and a decent selection of eats to take home for a nice family dinner or cookout. Showcase also caters so next time you're having a get together give em a call! If there's one thing I'd change about this place it would be the parking, if they're busy it can be a challenge but a challenge I'm willing to accept to eat here. Cheers!

They have some of the best fried chicken in the area, and their cheesesteaks are on point as well…read more The service is always friendly. It's a small place that doesn't have a restroom is its main drawback. They have deli selections and other little things for sale there. Give them a try.
