I'm always on the hunt for the best 8-10 inch personal pizza in Cleveland! Today I tried a BBQ chicken pizza from my local Zeppe's, which I have never been to before. I ordered it for a late afternoon carryout and brought it home. It was not busy inside. The pizza has great, thick cheese and a slightly spicy sauce. It also had a "homemade" feel, especially with the zig zag crust. Personally, I wish the crust had more of a flavor as it felt like eating plain bread or cracker. Additionally, the pizza was slightly burnt but that was not too big of a deal for me as I enjoy a good crunch. Am I nitpicking? Yeah, but it's a $15 personal pans so I'm expecting perfection. However, the more I ate it, the more I liked it! I wish it was a bit cheaper but I think I found a candidate for my go to personal pizza!

Pepperoni Pizza (zig zag crust)

Very good pizza and pizza rolls! Saw that they were known for their zig zag crust pizza so had to try that. Ordered for take out via their website and my order was ready when I got to the restaurant. Got a pepperoni pizza with the zig zag crust, 4 pepperoni rolls and a Cobb salad. Pizza was delicious. They have some seating inside but this location seems like mostly a take out spot. I had a note in my order to include plates but didn't receive them.

After a few more rounds of ordering at Zeppes the magic hasn't worn off! Their pizza holds up really well to carry-out/delivery and having tried their hawaiian, supreme, and veggie pizzas, I can honestly say they're all good. I know hawaiian pizza is a controversial topic but this place does it well! Their pineapples aren't too sweet and the ratio of bacon and ham aren't over-powering so it's a great place to try one if you're on the fence about them. The crust has been better salted the past few times we've ordered and has grown on me although it still doesn't beat an exceptional thin crust or a solid detroit deep dish in my opinion. The Clevelander and Meatball parm remain the best in my book, the first for its originality (and because I love italian sub flavors) and the second because of it lucious savoriness with the ricotta and parmesan.

Got a couple of pizzas tonight and my son had the Zeppe's Original Sun. He was super impressed with the flavor, amount of meats, and that it held together. Couldn't stop talking about it. The classic pepperoni was good as usual.! We also had margarita which was very tasty. Solid take out option.

It is so refreshing to see that Zeppe's is as awesome as they have always been and have adapted to these trying times. I placed an online order for my family this past Saturday. It had been a long day of a stressful home improvement project and cooking was just not going to happen. The online ordering process is super simple. They are offering contactless delivery currently as well. I ordered 2, 12 cut pizzas, 1 small order of wings, and 1 large order of wings. The delivery estimation was 60 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised to get a call from the driver just 30 minutes later. I thought he needed clarification on something, but he told me he was outside my house. He said that when he didn't see contactless delivery noted on the order he wanted to call and make sure it wasn't an oversight before approaching my door. That was so thoughtful and kind. Not to mention the food was excellent! I'm really in love with this local business.

Double down pizza

A great find! Excellent pizza and great people. We were visiting from out of town (Pittsburgh) and looking for a local pizza place. I'm so glad we stopped in. We ate inside and Rose was fantastic! She was patient as we had a large order and were indecisive. We thoroughly enjoyed the Trifecta! The zig zag crust was delicious! Zeppe's is a must try! You won't be disappointed

My "corrected" Zeppe's original. No cheese. Not toasted.

Worst pizza I have ever eaten. Tastes like ketchup on a piece of bread. Unpleasant employees, too. Totally bad experience.

The Khaleesi Has Won Me Over! | Joe De's Brick Oven Pizza - Cleveland, Ohio…read more So, I'm back at Joe De's Brick Oven Pizza, located at 15631 Puritas Ave, Cleveland, OH 44135, and this time I'm trying something new on their menu: The Khaleesi (AKA: Spicy Margherita)! Inspired by Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon, this pizza is an absolute FIRE-BREATHING MASTERPIECE! Made with San Marzano tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, Pecorino Romano, chili oil, and hot sopressata salami, this pie has officially become one of my FAVORITE pizzas right now! Ever since Joe De's got their brick oven, it has completely turned my pizza life around. Seriously, I don't know if I could ever go back to another way of making or eating pizza. There's just something about that brick-oven magic that takes everything to another level! And this isn't my first time exploring some of their newer menu offerings, either! Recently, I had the pleasure of trying two other delicious pizzas: The New Haven Pizza: A Connecticut-style pizza featuring a thin crust, San Marzano tomato sauce, fresh garlic, oregano, Pecorino Romano, and a drizzle of olive oil. I ordered mine EXTRA CHARRED, and let me tell you, it was DELICIOUS! That extra char brought a whole new level of flavor to the experience. The Margherita Pizza: A beautiful combination of a bubbly, soft-yet-crunchy crust, crushed San Marzano tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, fresh basil leaves, and a drizzle of olive oil. Simple, classic, and absolutely delicious! BUT THEN CAME THE KHALEESI! This pizza has officially stolen the throne! The combination of that rich San Marzano tomato sauce, creamy fresh mozzarella, fragrant basil, salty Pecorino Romano, spicy chili oil, and that HOT sopressata salami is just incredible. You get that perfect balance of savory, cheesy, spicy goodness, all coming together on that beautiful brick-oven crust. Bachir, my friend, you have OUTDONE YOURSELF with this one! You've created something truly special here, and I'm telling you right now, this pizza is a WINNER! And just how good was it? GOOD ENOUGH THAT I DROVE ACROSS TOWN JUST TO RUB IT IN MY FRIENDS' FACES! Of course, I shared with them, because I'm not THAT cruel! But trust me, this Khaleesi was worth the trip! And you better believe I'll be returning for another round, except next time, I'm ordering a BIGGER PIZZA so I can have leftovers for breakfast! Because come on, WHO DOESN'T LOVE LEFTOVER PIZZA FOR BREAKFAST?! Especially when it's pizza THIS GOOD! Cold, reheated, or straight out of the fridge at 8 AM, I already know that Khaleesi is going to hit differently the next morning! Joe De's and Bachir, my friend, keep turning out pizzas like these, and you'll ALWAYS have a returning friend and customer! If you're in the Cleveland area and haven't checked this place out yet, what are you waiting for?! Go give them a try, support a local pizza shop, and see what that brick oven is all about. And if you're feeling adventurous, do yourself a favor and order THE KHALEESI! Just be warned: you might find yourself driving across town to brag about it, too!

When I arrived, the staff greeted me and seemed genuinely excited to sell their pizza and cookies. The owner was front and center and you could feel his passion for what he was doing. I got a chocolate cookie to go because they had free samples and I couldn't resist. I requested a Piggy Bird, a Chicken Club, and a Heartburner. When I got home, the pizzas smelled amazing and were still hot. My son snatched the cookie immediately. I tried all three pies and they were all delicious. The pickles and white sauce really made the chicken club unique and tasty. The owner describes it as, "the pizza I eat when I'm not in the mood for pizza". He couldn't be more right. The Piggy Bird is always incredible. It's just a great tasting pizza and was our favorite of the three. My son really likes pepperoni, so we got him the Heartburner and it was very very good. The taste and quality of the pizza is top notch. We'll be back for more, especially from the secret menu. Glad this place is somewhat close to home.

So if you ever find yourself in NE Ohio it's definitely worth a stop! The service was fast and friendly! The atmosphere is laid back and fun as the seating is picnic tables! I will absolutely be back!

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.
