GOOD: cheese and toppings are flavorful, fair prices if you avoid premium pies
BAD: wet noodle crust and store logistics – line back ups, no paper receipts offered
I wanted to like PP as most of the reviews were glowing. The toppings and cheese were flavorful (can’t go wrong with a greasy meat meat combo). The price is reasonable on a per size and per topping basis.
Unfortunately, a good stiff crust is nearly half of quality pizza. The middle-bottom portion sags immediately and you need two steady hands to catch the toppings. Aside from the crust, there is one register and operator, so on a busy take out night, one chatty customer phone call handcuffs the entire takeout operation. They need two registers to alleviate the take out pressure in case of a phone order (or write the phone order and allow someone else to process take out orders).
Finally, I was forced to take a email or text receipt. Basic business operation should consist of offering a paper receipt. Older folks, buying for someone else, expensing meals all work better with paper receipts. I only hope their printer was broken. If your local, give them a try, but it’s probably not worth a long drive East.

I’m working in the area and wanted to try some local pizza here I am leaving a review. It arrived hot and when I opened the box it was beautiful. I could tell when I pulled the pieces apart this thing was piping hot when it came out of the over. It was cooked perfectly and looked amazing. The taste was really good was impressed with the texture of the crust and overall quality of the ingredients. Overall I had a great dinner and looking forward to leftovers later.

Passalinqua’s Pizzeria – Where Pizza Meets Pickleball (Literally)
I’m always on the hunt for a solid locally owned pizza joint when visiting my parents in Erie. My last favorite sticks-and-bricks place is still “temporarily closed,” which, as we all know, is Google Maps code for “gone forever but too polite to admit it.”
Passalinqua’s caught my eye not only for the promise of pizza but because it’s located inside Presque Isle Pickleball. Yes, you can eat a slice while watching grown adults shout about kitchen violations. If you don’t know pickleball, the “kitchen” is not where the pizza is made—it’s a no-volley zone on the court. And yes, I half expected to see a ref call me for a fault when I stepped too close to the counter.
First good sign: they close at 9 p.m. My rule of thumb? “Open late, not great.” Second: they hand-toss the dough right there in the dining room, behind the counter. The small dining area has about six tables plus a perfect sightline to the courts, so you can watch dinks, drops, and smashes while waiting for your pie. There are even a few tables court-side, in case you want to eat to the rhythmic soundtrack of paddles thwacking plastic balls.
I ordered a cheese pizza and a pepperoni-and-olive. True to their tagline—“We’ll curl your pepperoni”—each slice of pepperoni was cupped to perfection, like tiny meaty bowls holding drops of flavor. I wasn’t sure if that slogan was about their toppings or a more personal challenge. I asked for light cheese, which they nailed on the pepperoni, but the cheese pizza still came with double the amount I wanted. I get it—most people think more cheese equals more value. But in my opinion, half the cheese equals half the grease and twice the glory.
The crust? Chewy rather than crispy—what I’d call “football pizza,” the kind you can fold over and eat in one hand while yelling at a TV. Not artisan-level blistered or charred, but if Passalinqua’s was your neighborhood joint, you’d never need to look elsewhere for pizza night.
Service was refreshingly upbeat. I could hear the counter staff smiling through the phone when I placed my order. When I met her in person, she was still smiling—apparently that’s her default setting, which pairs nicely with good pizza.
Bottom line: come to Passalinqua’s for the pizza, stay for the pickleball. Just remember—no eating in the kitchen, and if your pepperoni isn’t curled, it’s out of bounds.

Ok pizza. Pretty greasy…never seen a pizza where the grease soaks through a cardboard box. $19 for a 12″ pizza is kinda wild. Ordered well done and the toppings still slid off. I want this pizza to be good so bad but I think I’ve had it for the last time unfortunately.

Best pizza in Erie! Had the white pizza and it was phenomenal. The only thing better than the food was the customer service from Bryce and Irene. Well done…K

This is one of the best pizzas I have ever eaten. This is coming from a former New Yorker and Chicagoan. Perfectly constructed, perfect flavor in every bite, perfect amount of crust. Just incredible. What a gem to find on our somewhat random trip to Eerie, PA!

Found my new favorite lunch spot! The hot honey pizza is a game changer, and the lunch portion is huge—I’m stuffed! The hand-tossed crust was cooked perfectly, and the wings were super crispy and flavorful. 10/10 recommend!

First time finally trying here and I’m impressed. Not much for good pizza around wesleyville/harborcreek. So glad they’re close! Owner came out and interacted with me and my son while we waited which was cool too! He promised I’d be in for a real treat with the meatball sub and he was 100% correct. One of the best meatball subs I’ve ever had. Pizza was excellent too! Definitely my new spot!

Here out of state, and stopped to grab food with family on the way to Niagara Falls. Randomly picked this pizza place, and it was delicious. The best part was the amazing owners and employees. They greeted every person who walked in the door so genuinely. But we also had two kids with our group and they came up to talk to the kids and engage many times. It was very enjoyable to be at this pizza place, small so thankfully it wasn’t busy. Definitely a place for take out, and yummy pizza!
Thank you!
