Giuseppe’s Pizza & Subs

Aye here last weekend I have nothing but good things to say. I was a little misled because driving by it looks more like a dine in restaurant, but once inside it seemed like more of a take out joint, but it was still delicious! They do have a small dining room and it might have been since we got there around 8 but the dining area was empty. Even though the restaurant was empty it was a revolving door of take out orders and we understood why. We ordered cheesy garlic bread, it was great. It was the first time I’ve seen my 9 mo old get all the pieces in his mouth and none on the floor. I ordered a g’zone with (my choice toppings) sausage, onions, and mushrooms. It was great but I wasn’t a fan of how crispy it was but it was still phenomenal! The marinara sauce made it! So good. My husband ordered the meat lovers. They were out of smalls so they upgraded it to a large at the small price, really that wasn’t necessary we would have paid the difference but we appreciated it, thanks! :) Lastly, I got some Tiramisu to go, my absolute favorite dessert. It was just as amazing as everything else. Cannot wait to go back or order out, since that seemed like the thing to do.

We have tried a few different pizza places in the Willowick area and this is our favorite by far. Their pizza sizes are a bit off from what you’d expect… we ordered a large and the box looked like a small but somehow it was enough to feed 4 people. They cut their pizza in little squares like Donatos does. Their cheese is amazing! I grew up in an Italian town that is known for good pizza and although this isn’t the best I’ve had, it’s the best I’ve had around here. Try it :)

When we need a sheet pizza for a last minute party we know who to call. The price is right and the pizza is perfect. The salads have a lettuce overload thing going on and not worth it. Every once and a while we will order a sub but it isn’t a favorite. It’s almost like you aren’t sure if you like them and want to give it a second chance.

Not a lot to say on this one. It was fair (being nice). I know people that like the pizza here so I don’t think it is a bad visit thing more than it is just not MY thing.

It’s not pizza. It’s a salty dough with whatever toppings your ordered. If you’re a bread person, then this is up your alley. If you want anything with crunch or any kind of taste of marinara, well you are barking up the wrong tree I think.
Wings are good.
Salad is good.
Meet all sub is, like the pizza, doughy and lacking sauce and overly salty.
Where’s the garlic?!
Such a shame…

Disappointing, to say the least. Every glass of water brought by the waitress had stuff floating in it. She thought I should just drink it because she couldn’t find a clean glass. Had to pay for a bottled drink. I was ready to leave at that point but was convinced to stay by the person I was with. Service was slow, despite telling the waitress that we were on our lunch hours. The salad was ok. The pizza was disappointing, too greasy and salty. The food gave both of us indigestion. Won’t be returning.

Seriously worth the little extra for this delicious pizza! I’d take it over Cleveland pizza co any day!

Insert a name that ends in a vowel. Insert a «family history» story on packaging and/​or website. Insert some dude in a track suit and pinky ring sitting in the corner. Insert bottles of stagnant olive oil in decorative bottles on shelves and you have basically every Italian place on Clevelands East Side. To me, they are all the same. Good, but nothing too exotic. From what I remember they eat a lot more seafood in Italy. Here its pasta, bread, red sauce, covered in cheese. Mix and match how you wish. Here we have gotten pizza, subs and salads. All have been fresh and OK. Pizza has been better in past times than this time. Girls working the counter are always super nice and friendly. They serve beer too which is cool. I think they serve wine but I cant drink wine without feeling like a putz. They also serve Peroni… which is the Italian version of cat piss.

I stopped there on my way home to get two pieces of pizza. It was about two thirty and i think it was left over from earlier.
It’s usually better then that. I saw they’re looking to hire. Maybe it wasn’t as good because they are short of people.

Definitely 5 stars for their pizza. Omg the white pizza was so damn delicious. And unfortunately for my ass, I ate about ²⁄₃ of the sheet pizza for my birthday. #worthit
I’m giving it 4 stars for their wings. They were meaty and had a good flavor. Too bad I ate so much pizza that I couldn’t make room for more.
Unfortunately, I’m giving the subs just 2 stars. The bread was bland and there were no sauces or dressing on any of the subs (we got 2 platters). They didn’t come with any condiments on the side either. I would not come back here for the subs.
I can’t comment on the dining area, other than I know it is small. We ordered everything in bulk for a party. Everything on the order was correct and ready at the correct pickup time.

Awsome!
Food is always good — taste and quality both.
Service is always good because they are very well staffed …
And every one is very friendly.
I have had their pizza, sandwiches, salads. Love’em all. Yet to try their calzone.
Portions are plentiful.
Nice family run place that makes you feel welcome.

I had the Super Delux hot sub with ham, salami, capicola, pepperoni & prosciutto. Super nice waitress with a huge smile started things out beautifully. Looking over the menu everything is priced under $ 10 except dinners and pizzas — my 12 inch sub was $ 6.99 and the 6 inch is $ 5.25.
Dis place da shizzola! Super great sub on a delightfully light crunchy bread that was super satisfying. Took half home for later. Eyeballing the pizza and chicken parm for the next visit.
Beats the hell out of any subway ²⁴⁄₇ & 365
12 inch sub warm, coke and tax $ 9.05
NICE!

Can’t find too many family run gems these days… this place is legit! Always greeted with a smile walking up to the counter. I go every chance I get when home visiting family. HUGE fan of the pepperoni rolls and the sicilian style pizza. Good crunch on the crust; I always see a huge dough operation going on in the back when I stop in to pick up my pizza, these guys take pride in their product! I used Guiseppe’s catering for a high school class reunion, not only was the food delicious, the per/​person portions were perfect and we had just enough left for a couple of us to steal a few slices for later:)
I’ll be a die hard fan for years!

The short and sweet version: This place makes a delicious bakery-​style, pie. You know, the rectangle pan kind? Yep – it’s damn good.
The long version: We ordered a sheet pizza here for the mini’s birthday party. We were hosting the bash at Lost Nation Sports Park and this spot was the highest rated, nearest pizza place (according to Unilocal,of course.) After reading the positive reviews, we decided to give it a shot – because really, how picky are kids about pizza? (The answer: They aren’t – especially 9 year old boys.)
Well, the boys devoured this huge pie – some even came back for seconds! When they had all moved on to birthday activities, there were just a couple of small pieces left, so I snagged one. Yum! Normally I do not like bakery-​style pizza. I’m a crunchy/​chewy crust kinda gal and a fluffy, bready pie just ain’t my thing. But this particular one was extra delicious. I don’t know if it was the sauce, the cheese or the bread, but the flavor was just there. Come to think of it, it really had to be the sauce, since it was just cheese pizza. It did have a bit of that breadiness, but really not too much. It was matched perfectly with the punch of the sauce balancing it together.
I’m not sure what it cost us, so I can’t comment on price, but I would definitely return if I was in the area! Perfectly for kids and adults alike!

Honestly the best pizza in all of Cleveland! There are pizza and pasta paces virtually on every corner in Cleveland, Ohio but Giuseppe’s uses the freshest, highest quality ingredients possible. The cavatelli is spectacular and the Sicilian style pizza is simply fabulous. I live in San Francisco, which claims to have the best Italian food outside of Italy but there is nothing tat comes close to the outstanding, authentic Italian food at Giuseppe’s. There are several locations of the restaurant and we sampled the food at the Mentor and Wickliffe places — both were fabulous. The homemade salad dressings are wonderful as is the perfectly crisp lettuce. The pastas, pizza ad subs are seriously great. The portions are enormous so go with a big appetite. You will be delighted with the quality and value of the food here so go often for the best pizza and pasta anywhere around. Giuseppe’s offers delicious, fresh, honest Italian pizza — just like momma used to make. Love it — can’t wait to return.

Had their Super Deluxe sub — a fancy italian sub. Got a Large for about 7 bucks and it was huge and delicious. They added banana peppers for me with no trouble at all and the waitress was nice, especially given we sprung a fairly large group on her lat minute (about 12 of us) during the lunch hour!
The sub was good — I ate half for lunch and had the other half for dinner. Everyone else seemed satisfied with their food — my cohort had the chocolate canoli and she said it was excellent.
Good prices and good food, along with good service — not bad at all! I’m in town for work — and will likely come back before the end of my trip, if not, the next time I am here!

I was here for work related training and this place wasn’t too far away from us so decided to check it out. There was nine of us on separate checks (I know, how annoying) and the waitress didn’t blink or bring us any less great service.
I had the calzone with diced tomatoes, onions & sausage in addition to the automatic cheeses & sauce. Cooked to perfection with tasty breading and… well, while it was big I wish it was bigger just because it was SO freaking good. And when I paid my tab, those cookies in my face could not be resisted.
Also, none of my other dining compatriots were let down either.
Overall, a freaking tasty place to eat.

The pizza is very good. The crust is very unique and the sauce is good. On the other hand, the wings are very good.

I have to admit that I am biased because I grew up eating this pizza because my father is Giuseppe! I also worked in this pizzeria all though adolescence. However, I have to say that this pizza is very unique compared to other Cleveland pizzerias. The pizza is a traditional Sicilian style square pan pizza, and it is absolutely delicious! Don’t expect anything fancy or gourmet, just fantastic pizza. I grew up on the East side, but now that I am a West sider, everyone raves about Angelo’s pizza. I have tried it. I eat all kinds of pizza — I just love pizza! Honestly, I personally don’t think Angelo’s compares! I won’t go further due to my own conflict of interest, but you should try it and decide for yourself. My other favorite pizza places in Cleveland include Valentino’s in Little Italy & Geraci’s in University Heights.
