Tony Sacco’s Coal Oven Pizza

I’ve been here a couple of times now, and each time was better then the last. They have half price pizzas on Thursdays, so I figured it would be a great opportunity to try a couple of the specialty pizzas I’d been wanting to try. We tried the buffalo chicken pizza and the Greek pizza. The buffalo chicken pizza was my favorite, (to be fair I don’t like olives, which are on the Greek pizza, but wanted to try it anyway). They also give you a side of blue cheese for the buff chick pizza, and I don’t know if it’s homemade, but it was amazing.
They also have amazing lunch specials. I think the one is like $ 7 and you get a salad and personal size pizza. I’ve also had the basil mojito. It was really good, but inconsistent in alcohol content depending on who is bartending.
This place is great! The crust is thin and crunchy since it’s cooked in a coal oven, and I’m a sucker for bubbles or char on the crust!

This is a nice place my wife’s favorite pizza .don’t let the fact that there in a mall stop you from going once inside it doesn’t feel like a mall place. The burgers are also good

Discovered this place as I was walking through Great Lakes Mall. It was a wonderful surprise and a great alternative to the horrible choices in the food court. The service is excellent and very friendly. My husband and I shared a pizza on our first visit and the second visit we had personal pizzas with our own favorite toppings (anchovies, mushrooms for me) and pepperoni and sausage for my husband. Excellent choices for both of us. There are lots of traditional toppings. The salads are huge if you aren’t into pizza (are there such people?). I’ve been a couple of additional times and we’ll be back. Now I have two places to go for great pizza.

I love Tony Sacco’s! Coal oven pizza is my weakness and they hit it out of the park every time. Their garlic knots (rotolis I believe they’re called) are delicious. Nothing is better than dipping delicious bread in oil and seasonings. They’re pizza is the star though. I never take home leftovers because I’d rather stuff my face with every last piece.
I highly recommend Tony Sacco’s!

I came here to eat around 4pm. It was not busy, and was sat immediately. But after that I waited 20 mins for someone to come take my order. After waiting, many of the servers were standing doing nothing, the hostess sat a couple in an empty table behind me and a server immediately came to get them water and took their order. This was ridiculous, so I left, and will not be going back. Worst service I have ever had.

Best pizza I’ve had in a long time! I wish they would open in other locations near Cleveland

First time here at Tony Sacco’s and they did not disappoint! We ordered a meatball, chicken and mushroom pizza with the garlic and onion wings! Both were very very yummy!!! Service was just awesome! Loves the experience here!!! Would definitely fine with them again!

Great beer selection and fabulous pizza. Don’t miss the meatball lollipops! The staff were friendly and attentive.

We stopped in here after doing some Christmas shopping and boy oh boy they did not disappoint! I probably should have stopped after my half Caesar salads so I ended up getting a pizza with pepperoni sausage and I love the sausage is crumbled sausage not hot dog sausage which in my opinion makes the pizza thousand times better. The kids got a half pepperoni half cheese pizza and we had a couple of beers. The server was super prompt and the pizza I don’t know what it is about coal-​oven Pizza, but it takes a pretty fairly steady hand to cook it and cook it right. Because coal oven pizzas cook at such a high temperature, even a couple seconds too long the pizza starts to dry out rapidly. Then again on the other side too short and it is way too raw. But Tony Sacco’s most definitely has this formula figured out and figured out right. Thanks again for another great dining experience!

Passing thro’ and got directed to Tony Sacco’s Coal Oven Pizza. From awesome customer service (they even have their own Ben Affleck look alike!) to the great tasting pizza… was some of the best EVER! Try the Cano or Aloha pizzas for wonderful tasting pies. And tell Mike hi from Texas!

Absolute best pizza around! Finally NY Pie in Ohio! Ingredients are fresh and crust exceptional. Go as many times as you can!

We went in the other day to meet my brother in law and sister with there baby. We made reservations and the table was ready upon arriving which is key when you have kids with you. They say is promptly and we ordered the traditional margarita pizza and had salads. The pizza was delicious. It was cooked perfectly. It is inside the mentor mall which is a bummer, but the restaurant is really nice.
The service was great and she was always quick with whatever we ordered.
On a side note we attended two birthday parties there where they did an excellent create your own pizza party. The kids absolutely loved it.
The location is the only reason it’s not getting five stars. Mentor mall isn’t a great place to shop.

This review is about nothing other than the food. Service = 5 stars. Management = 5 stars (there were a few fruit flies buzzing around and the manager personally apologized and said they are trying to fix it. super professional). Cleanliness = 5 stars. The only reason I gave the 3 star rating is the food is just food. Pizza can be done a million different ways that different people enjoy. That being said… when you get a pizza… you’d expect the toppings to be ‘kinda’ fresh.
We got the Aloha pizza. Crust was fine. Sauce was sauce. Cheese was cheese. The ham was obviously out of a bag and obviously the ham used for salads. the little squares. The pineapple was out of a can. mushy and bland. I don’t expect the world to stop when I order pizza but this was just normal bland pizza. Probably gonna stick with Marcos like we usually do in the future.

Very good pizza. Coal fired ovens make a difference. Thin crust and not the soggy stuff you get at most other places in the area. Good, fresh tasting sauce with fresh basil. Nice environment and decent beer on tap. Adding burgers to the menu, but didn’t give those a try. Stick to what they do best… Pizza Pie!
Service was more than attentive. Enjoyed the trip and will return.

Nice atmosphere and the restaurant always smells wonderful. We love the coal fired pizza, the spicy pepperoni, and the fresh mushrooms on the pie.
Our waiter was very pleasant and attentive, both the food & the service were «spot on!
Check it out, you won’t be disappointed.

For a last minute decision, my wife and I decided, okay it was my decision, to try this spot. Not really sure about a «mall restaurant» but every day you can learn something new!
Once you enter (they have an outside the mall entrance) this doesn’t feel like this is part of the mall. Spacious tables that are large, nice bar and a bar high table counter to eat sets this apart from the rest. Full service bar with a very impressive beer list, both draft and bottles. Wife also loved the wine list too.
As for the food… Come hungry!!! Salads are large enough for two, although we did not have one. Beware of the Garlic Rolls! Oh my were they good! Try the half order, just right for two and still leaving room for a pizza.
The pizza… WOW! we split a large Napoli. Now I can take on any pizza but this time I met my match. Two HUGE pieces were enough to satisfy my taste buds and still have two-​to-​go home with. This pizza is highly recommended. No room for desert tonight, but for sure another time.
Finally have to give a big shot out to the owner Mike. Took a nice time to welcome us, explained the newest pizzas, and personally entered the WiFi password on my phone! You can really sense his pride in his establishment and wants to see his guests enjoy their dinner! We did and as Arnold says, «We’ll be back»

I drive past this place all the time and finally decided to give it a try during on recent ‘pizza craving’. Tony Sacco’s is only a mile from my house and this could be dangerous. The pizza is amazing. No longer do I have to drive to the westside for a decent slice of pizza.
We sat at the bar and were happily surprised to hear about all of the specials. Half priced appetizers, house wine 2.25, $ 1 off beers, just to name a few. They also have special nights such as wine Wednesdays and half priced pizza on Thursday. This gave us a chance to sample a few items and try different beers.
Our bartender, Val, was super friendly and knowledgeable on all of our beer selections. She also helped us on the menu offerings. If you like garlic, order the appetizer rolls. Amazing! We also tried the Greek pizza. The crust is the best I’ve had from any establishment in the Cleveland area.
Val told us to give the wings a try. We were already full, but we’ll definitely be back after she told us how they’re prepared… marinated for several hours then baked. Maybe on Thursday night when it’s craft beer might!

My companion and I had lunch here today. It was very good. We started with a couple of salads. I had the house salad with romaine, tomatoes, Garbanzo beans, hard boiled eggs, and Kalama ta olives. I ordered the ½ portion which was still pretty large. The salad was nice and the olives were delicious. My companion had the side salad with a balsamic vinaigrette. It was a pretty standard salad, but she really liked the dressing. We had a medium Capo pizza. The toppings were roasted mushrooms and onions, sausage, pepperoni, mozzarella and red sauce. The crust was super thin and the coal fire oven gives it a yummy char. Other reviewers complained that their pizza was burned, but ours was perfect and so good. The pizza cooks so fast that I wonder why they didn’t just send it back.
The atmosphere is very nice and they have a good beer and wine selection for a pizza place. Our server was nice and attentive. All in all a very pleasant experience. We will definitely be back!

Unilocal event+amazing time= a very happy Unilocaler.
The appetizers here are amazing, I mean I couldn’t put down the twisted bread knots and sausage bites. The pizza was abundant and tasteful coming from a coal/​log oven. The staff was amazing and attentive to their guests. But what a night. They give great doggie bags and presentation is a huge thing for this restaurant. You would never expect this type of establishment in the mall, but oh will I be back. Its hidden by Dillards but its anything but shy. The flavors are good and the toppings are large, which I love. My favorite had balsamic sauce on the pizza with portebello mushrooms and sausage.
I would definitely come back to this establishment, for their pizza oven, good bites, great atmosphere and attentive staff. This is a very relaxed place that you’ll be able to satisfy your pizza and BREAD craving!

You had me at $ 2.50 Happy Hour wine.
But the delicious, hand-​tossed, coal oven pizzas don’t hurt one bit. This is a great «comprise» spot when we pick up our hungry 9 year old from school. He goes to school out in Mentor – we live in Cleveland, it’s a long drive to be a hungry boy! Tony Sacco’s has pizza, which is always a win for kids, but it’s adult pizza and food – no Chuck-​e-​Cheese stuff here.
I read a few of the reviews and I must confirm that yes, they do use fresh mozzarella and now, it’s not shredded now. Here are my thoughts: Happy hour dinner is the best time to go, because the cheap drinks for one, but for two – it’s a great time to get discounted apps. We know the little guy loves bread, so the garlic knots (at like $ 2 or something) would be a hit. Hot, fresh from the oven, covered in garlic butter and sprinkled with parmesan – yum! But they should definitely be served with marinara. The side salads are quite substantial! I could have shared mine. Or if you want a big salad, try the antipasto. It’s loaded with goodies. They do personal size pizzas for just under $ 6, which is a great deal and option. The little guy got cheese, I stood by my old pepperoni mushroom combo and my guy got a calzone. I really like their pies – mostly because I’m a thin ‘n chewy crust type of gal. Everything tastes super-​fresh. My only knock is that I think the sauce could use a little more punch (and salt), but sauce is a pretty personal preference. And how can you complain while eating a hot, gooey slice of pizza?
