Very nice experience enjoyed the experience. Salad was excellent, pizza was good with a nice balance but…. expected more based on the rave reviews but very good. I enjoyed it. Everything was a little sticky but it was a humid day. I do recommend it when in town, as it has a cool hipster style.

The hype is real – Il Rione has one of the best, if not THE best, pizzas in the city! Everything about the pizza was perfect: the NY-style crust was thin and chewy and super flavorful, the toppings were fresh and of the highest quality (the Calabrian chilies in particular were fire), and the ratio of cheese to sauce to bread was spot on. The salads were also pleasantly refreshing… and for what it’s worth the Guinness pour was surprisingly respectable. To be fair, the menu was a bit limited compared to other pizzerias, but I’d rather have fewer options executed perfectly than a laundry list of mediocre dishes any day. The dining space was charming in a rustic way, but it got very crowded very quickly – we arrived just after opening on a weekend and were lucky to get a table. Service was great and, especially given the size of the crowd, very prompt; the kitchen was slinging pizzas like nobody’s business. Definitely a spot worth coming back.

Il Rione absolutely lived up to (and exceeded) the hype.
I sat at the bar and had the pleasure of being taken care of by Marcus, who was fantastic. Attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience feel welcoming from the moment I sat down.
I was torn between the Green Pie and the Clam Pie, but ultimately went with the clam since it’s a Wednesday-only special. That decision paid off in a big way. The clam pizza completely blew me away. It was perfectly balanced, briny and garlicky without being heavy, with an incredible crust that held everything together beautifully. Easily one of the best clam pies I’ve had.
To make the night even better, the couple sitting next to me overheard my indecision and generously let me try a slice of their Green Pie. It was outstanding as well. Fresh, vibrant, and packed with flavor. Honestly, you can’t go wrong either way.
Great food, great people, and an awesome bar experience. Il Rione is the kind of place that reminds you why great pizza is such a joy. I’ll absolutely be back.

Full disclosure–We didn’t eat here, right after a 15-mile mountain hike and weren’t super hungry or starving, so this review is maybe even significant. Our neighbors told us we should go and try this great pizza place. We are new to Cleveland and have tried four other pizza places. All pretty disappointing. Cut to the chase, I’ve been on the planet for five decades and have eaten probably 1000 different pizzas. Midwest, West Coast, East Coast. Deep dish, thin crust, NY etc. THIS IS THE BEST PIZZA I’VE EVER HAD. HANDS DOWN. Absolutely amazing, deliciousness. It was perfect. Atmosphere was super relaxing and fun, terrific, fresh arugula salad and yummy Malbec to wash it all down. 10/10 perfection

I honestly think Dave P made a mistake about his pizza score of this place. This is definitely a 9.1 type of pizza. Ive tried Sally’s and John Bleaker etc but this pizza all the way down to last bite is perfect. Keep doing what your doing. If your calling and get the customer not available keep trying it’ll go through. I wish I had one of these in Indiana.

That best New York Style Pizza in Cleveland!
No argument. The pizza is absolutely delicious. The sauce, the wine, everything was perfect. The flavors really live up to the hype.
The only downside is the wait time, it took us nearly two hours to get in, but honestly, it was worth it. The service felt a bit rushed, though, and we didn’t really get the chance to take our time and enjoy the meal the way we wanted.

I was out in Cleveland performing some autism-friendly music concerts – and a buddy of mine recommended this spot. It was fantastic! Absolutely loved it. Highly recommended if you need a great pie in Cleveland.

Awesome spot for pizza and drinks! We had the Margherita and sausage pie – both were insanely good. Probably one of the best pizzas in Cleveland, if not the best. The Bees Knees cocktail was super refreshing. Chill vibe, great service, and just an all-around amazing experience. Definitely coming back and recommending to everyone!

We came with a group of 8 and arrived about 15 minutes before the doors opened—there was already a line forming, which was a good sign. We were seated in the back in a cozy area that looked like a little church—super cute and charming. The room was clean, bright, and welcoming.
The staff was quick and efficient. We started with a meat and cheese tray that came with three types of meats, three types of cheeses, sliced baguette and bread drizzled with olive oil, plus a small selection of olives. It was a great appetizer to kick things off.
We ordered five pizzas, and they came out surprisingly fast. Here’s a quick rundown:
White Pie: If you like white sauce, garlic, and a touch of sweetness from honey, this one’s for you.
Sausage and Red Pepper: This was a hit—my husband especially loved it. The red peppers were sweet and the sausage had great flavor.
Margherita: Tasty but could’ve used a bit more basil.
Speck: None of us had tried this before. It was okay, but didn’t stand out compared to the others.
Pepperoni: Built on a margherita-style base with tons of crispy, curled pepperoni. Definitely a crowd-pleaser.
Our waitress was on top of refills, and the rest of the staff quickly cleared empty plates and trays as we finished. From start to finish, we were in and out in about two hours.
Overall, it was a great experience. I’d definitely recommend giving this place a try!

We had tried to eat here twice before, and both times we had to wait two hours, so we were leaving. We’re new to the city and thought this place must be excellent because of the number of people always waiting, and we’d heard it was good. This time we decided to go at 5 pm to see if we could get a table without waiting, and even then we had to wait 20 minutes.
Now let’s talk about the pizza. My experience was not good at all. We ordered the speck pie (the speck was overcooked, which makes it lose its delicious flavor and turns it bitter, and when combined with lemon it wasn’t a pleasant taste). The ricotta was also overcooked, so it loses its delicate touch, turning something tasty into something disgusting.
The other pizza we ordered was the sausage pie, a total disappointment. It felt like eating pasta with marinara sauce and it had very little cheese.
The customer service is normal ; they seem so concerned about the long line that it feels like, “Just eat, get it over with, bye.” They don’t even provide a spatula for serving the pizzas.
We definitely won’t be going back. As people who have eaten in different cities and countries, it’s a shame how low the standards are here; they don’t know what good food is.
