We were two kids from different parts of the country when we met in college—John, a Toledo boy, and Gabrielle, from a small town in New Jersey. Seven years later, we were married. Over the next 25 years, as we traveled to support our four children’s sports and visited Gabrielle’s family, we not only fell in love with each other—we fell in love with East Coast pizza. We started this business because we’re stubborn about making pizza the “old world” way, an honest return to the authentic essence of flour, cheese, and tomatoes. It’s the kind of food that has roots. Roots that reach all the way back to Italy, where the freshest local ingredients were used with care and intention. We’ve recreated that here by developing our own Stubbor…

Looked around for pizza place near our hotel. This one was about 11 minutes away. There was an entrance at the front but it looked like the locals were going through the back door so we followed suit. When we got in there definitely smelled like deliciousness and client service was pleasant.
We ordered the twice baked garlic rolls, as well as a customizable pizza where we added bacon, mushroom, and pepperoni. We ordered a Coke and a Toledo sunrise for drinks.
The twice baked garlic rolls were left to be desired. The ends were crispy but the middle just felt soggy. I wish it was actually twice baked. However, the pizza came out with really nice flavour as well as nice bottom crust.
Beverages were beverages. Overall sports bar vibes..

Stubborn Brother knows what they’re doing.
I had a sausage and ricotta slice of pizza, and both were on point — thin, crusty dough with that perfect soft interior. They use a beautiful oven and even a specialized water-treatment system to mimic New York’s mineral profile, and you can taste the difference.
From pizzas to salads, subs, and draft beer, this spot gets it right. Great atmosphere, fair prices, and attentive staff. If you’re trying to figure out your next meal, just come through and enjoy.

Solid legit pizza, anytime we’re passing through town. We always have to take a stop in and grab some stubborn brother pie! Great crunch on this pizza, no flop! This ranks right up there with Il Rione in Cleveland.

Love coming here before Toledo games! Or just anytime to be honest. You have to try the hot honey! The wings, the subs, Stromboli…it’s all really good.

Just moved here from the New Jersey shore area and heard this was an east coast pizza joint. It was close but not quite there. The meat balls were good but no where worth $13 for 4 little balls. The pizza was ok but to have a good east coast pizza you need to use the r right oven that is brick lined, a chewy inner an crispy outer crush, then lots of top quality cheese and a simple sauce. Their sauce was good light on cheese and crust was off, no flavor and too much flour.
No sure when they opened or if they will survive but $6 for miller lite 16 oz. CAN, this isn’t downtown. High priced for sure. I’ll keep looking for a good pizza joint that has better food and prices or I’ll just open my own Jersey Shore pizza parlor so I can get great pizza.

I had an amazing experience at The Stubborn Brother Pizza Bar! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a fun, laid-back vibe. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed.
Now, let’s talk about the pizza-absolutely incredible! The crust was perfectly crisp on the outside yet soft and chewy inside, with just the right amount of char. The toppings were fresh, flavorful, and well-balanced. I tried their signature pizza, and it was one of the best l’ve had. The garlic knots were also a must-try— light, buttery, and packed with flavor.
Pairing it all with a great selection of craft beers made the experience even better. Whether you’re stopping in for a casual dinner or hanging out with friends, this place is a gem. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I’ve had stubborn brothers multiple times over the years. I never had a bad pizza. Never had a bad experience with service. I have found that this is not the type of pizza you can order for takeout. To get the best experience it needs to be consumed fresh. Otherwise it gets tough. I’ll always come back. For a New York/artisan style pizza they are on the right track. You can’t compare this to Marcos or a chain pizza joint. It’s in its own category. Only complaint is the twice baked garlic rolls are always not baked enough. I recommend this establishment regardless.

First time. Ordered to-go.
18″ Rocco’s Meat Lover, Stubborn 7 Cheese, “custom” be it pepperoni & the twice baked garlic roll.
Pizzas didn’t measure up to the 18″ as indicated. As noted in others review, they’re inconsistent. Having ordered 3 at once, one pizza (the pepperoni) nice & will order extra sauce next time, one pizza was bland & dough tasted like burnt crackers (7 cheese – some herbs could’ve set that off), BUT that Rocco’s Meat Lover was on point!!! Flavorful and great crust!
Overall, this is the closest we’ve come to a NY Style pizza in the greater Toledo area.
The atmosphere looked great and we intend to try again, eating inside that time.
This type of pizza has been so hard to find around here, the crust (even the burnt one) is better than any popular local pizzas as these are real pizza dough vs questionable cost cutting ingredient doughs.
Feedback is just honest feedback, but no make no mistake as this was overall delicious and much enjoyed by all this evening, with the overall feedback of burnt crust and request for more sauce. Definitely looking to try again!

The pizza and garlic bread was amazing but better than that is the service and atmosphere. With all that you would expect to pay top $ but they feed 3 of us for under $40 and the serving size was exceptional. A definite if you’re looking for quality and value while eating out in Toledo, Ohio.
