    Baklava to go

    Awesome independent local pizza shop in Copley! Excellent pizza, calzones, salad and subs. We ordered take-out for a few family members and all of us enjoyed the food made at Big Star. Tasty, delicious and made fresh! This family owned establishment serves really great food! We tried the NY style pizza with pepperoni and mushrooms and loved it. Great seasoning and sauce! The crust had a crunch to it and since it was NY style, could fold the crust. Also enjoyed the salad. Fresh lettuce and veggies and meat. You need to try the house dressing, also excellent. I personally didn't get to try the calzone or meatball sub we ordered as other family members got to those too quickly, but they were very happy with how fresh and tasty both were. Looking forward to eating here again soon! The people who work here are great too and work very hard at making delicious food.

    Delicious Calzones, Stromboli, & Sicilian Pizza. Highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area. I drive by everyday, and decided to stop in with my two boys. They loved the cheese calzone & ham/pepperoni stromboli. I got the Deluxe Sicilian pizza. The service was great and to the point. The boys got the best "cheese-pulls" from this place. I will definitely be coming back.

    Enjoyed both the NY and Sicilian Style pizzas. Both were baked well, had a crisp crust and the crust, sauce, cheese ratios were spot on. Service was extremely friendly.

    Quality New York style pizza. Thin and greasy with a great sauce. This is our go-to pizza joint in the Copley area.

    The pizza here is about as close to a NY style pizzeria as you'll find in the Akron area. Worth trying if that's what you like

    Fairly good pizza with great service and environment. Not exactly worth the 5/5 rating, in my opinion.

    Sooooo...lived up to the hype. Hard to get to, nothing is really near it. It was great. I got the…read moreNew York Pastrami or something like that. Price seemed in-line with other places, staff was particularly nice. People mentioned MAGA stuff (huge RED flag for me) and I DID see a Trump/Vance sticker (wtf?) but I also saw a Biden/Harris sticker. So if you are reading this Ms. Primo...how about: no stickers? I don't want to ruin my appetite thinking about Trump. That being said, the sandwich was the best sandwich I have eaten in Ohio. I will return and get some weird thing when I go back. Building was old a full of knick-knacks. They seemed to sell retail beer, but the selection wasn't amazing but they had some interesting stuff.

    25 years of waiting and just disappointment…read more Nice warm day out, and me and my mom decided to go get something to eat for lunch. We hadn't been here before, but she has been waiting 25 years to come here. She has lived in Akron for all her life, and Kenmore for 10 of those. The bread was soggy, the ingredients were not quality whatsoever, it even looks like they cooked the sandwich with the lettuce on it. The pickles, the only thing free with this expensive meal, were soggy. We paid $41 for this meal for just utter disappointment. Not only that, but these are MAGA Trumpers, displayed everywhere, which is embarrassing in a town with such diversity as Kenmore has. Most of your customers are black, so this is just insulting.

    The day has finally arrived, you've spent all week hittin the weights and huffin on the treadmill…read morestriving to get that body even the Rock would envy BUT today is special. It's cheat day! Yes my friend today is the day you sink your teeth into a delicious piece of pizza, tasty fried chicken or anything else to save your sanity. Well I have just the place for you. Tucked deep inside a residential neighborhood in Kenmore lies a fantastic little market, and in said market is some of the best take out food around. Well what's the place man? Where is this oasis you speak of? Well folks I'm talking about Showcase Meats located at 1971 16 St SW just off of Kenmore Blvd in Akron. A family owned business that's been around for over 40 years, Showcase Meats was built on word of mouth so clearly they're doing something right. The market is small and there is zero seating (take out place remember) but that's ok. Once inside you're greeted by classic Americana eats such as pizza, fried chicken, jo jo's, wings, a bakery case full of fresh pastries and more. Showcase also offers specialty pizzas, hot sandwiches as well as hot and cold subs made fresh to order. There are a few salad choices on the menu but I have to be honest, I'm not here to eat salad (please don't judge). Today I opted for a meatball sub and it was on point! What makes Showcase a such a jewel is cost, you can easily walk out of Showcase with a crazy good lunch for under $10, not too shabby! To the rear of the market you'll see 2 show cases, one full of a nice variety of fresh tasty meats and another showcase packed with side salads such as ham salad, rigatoni salad, potato salad and much much more. Showcase also sells meat bundles for anyone looking to stock up the freezer. Like I've said this place is small but it's got all the bases covered. Showcase just keeps it simple and I like that. The market has great carry out food and a decent selection of eats to take home for a nice family dinner or cookout. Showcase also caters so next time you're having a get together give em a call! If there's one thing I'd change about this place it would be the parking, if they're busy it can be a challenge but a challenge I'm willing to accept to eat here. Cheers!

    They have some of the best fried chicken in the area, and their cheesesteaks are on point as well…read more The service is always friendly. It's a small place that doesn't have a restroom is its main drawback. They have deli selections and other little things for sale there. Give them a try.
