I came to Cent's with my friend to celebrate her new out-of-state job offer. We had both heard a lot of good things about Cent's but hadn't found time to visit until recently. It's a small space but we came pretty early on a weeknight and had no problems getting seated. We were both impressed by the decor - it has a very well curated retro pizza parlor vibe, and though we were spooked at first by a gigantic "Cash Only" sign, once we found out it was just decor and not a serious sign, we really appreciated the decor. Our waitress was very helpful since it was our first time and we settled on the wonderbread with house butter, an eggplant special, and the cherry pizza (plus a Mexican Coca-Cola to share). The wonderbread was interesting - it both reminded me of/tasted like a baked pizza dough but also had a unique quality. It paired well with the house butter as well as our eggplant appetizer. I wasn't sure if I wanted to order it at first because it is quite expensive ($12) in my opinion but I am glad that we got it since it is something that makes Cent's quite special. If I came with a larger group of people next time I would consider ordering it again, it was a bit too much for 2. My friend was very intrigued by the cherry pizza before we even sat down, and I agreed to share it with her not fully realizing that it had Luxardo cherries on it (honestly just assumed it was cherry tomatoes and didn't feel the need to fully read the menu). It freaked me out a bit at first but honestly I think the cherry, ricotta, and mint worked pretty nicely with the cheese and pepperoni (without the pepperoni it definitely would've been way too sweet). I didn't love how much ricotta was dolloped on the pizza and I wish there was more sauce, but I really enjoyed the crust, and even though I thought the combination was kind of weird I wasn't against it (although next time I might try something more tame!) For dessert we got a tiramisu to go and it was fine - a little on the small side (looked like basically 2 ladyfingers) but no complaints about the taste. Cent's has a certain novelty to it and they seem to use really nice, high-quality ingredients to make their unique pairings work. I would definitely come back and try some more things on the menu. The staff were super nice and accommodating and I appreciated not having to wait a very long time for a nice pizza (something that can be hard to find in CLE!) read more

The pesto pizza was very good! Nice flavor and soft crust. The wonderbread was also very yummy. Wish the pizzas were larger for the price. read more

Cent’s - Sausage pizza - Pizza Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

I really like the atmosphere at cent's pizza, the decor is really cool and minimalist which I love although it would be great if the space was a bit bigger. It gets really packed for dinner and the waiting space is quite limited and when you sit down the tables are quite close to each other which I don't particularly enjoy too much. Despite that, the food is great! Their pizzas are delicious and very tasty although I think they could potentially offer the option to have two flavors in one pizza like many other places do (half and half) so that you can try more variety :) Great quality and would definitely recommend! read more

Pizza was 4/5 service but the waitress forgot to mention that there's a $6 up-charge for parm & ranch... I would've added protein toppings had I known read more

Just a disclaimer that I can't give a thorough review of their food as I only came here to try the wonder bread and stracciatella. Basing off those two alone, the woodfire-oven baked wonder bread was absoulutely delicious. Cripsy on the outside and soft on the inside and seasoned with sea salt. The stracciatella dip made with fresh mozzarella, heavy cream, EVOO, and black pepper was also divine. I've never had anything quite like it before. It's very simple yet perfect with the bread. Ambience - 5/5. Very cool pizzeria that has a bar-like feeling. I didn't get to see their patio but I saw from their Instagram that it seems spacious and nice. Price - a little bit on the pricier side. Pizza pies are sold in whole which vary from $13-$22. The small bites which I got are actually pricier for almost $10 each. They also have a good curation of cocktails to choose from. read more

Great pizza, Dog*hit cocktails, deeply uncomfortable seating. Let's start with the pizza, which is the positive part of this review: the Mrs and I decided to try Cent's on our latest food tour of Cleveland and the pizza didn't disappoint. We tried the white pie and the gravy (meatball/red sauce) which were both very tasty. This isn't a cheap slice type of joint but the quality of the ingredients is there, as is the circa 2013 gentrified Williamsburg, Brooklyn vibes and prices, in a sea of non-blue color folks cosplaying in Carhartt brand clothes and truly 2010s era hipster glasses. Now for the bad: I initially ordered the house Negroni, a simple three ingredient cocktail so hard to F up, it's almost always a foolproof choice. Tonight was not one of those times. Genuinely the worst Negroni I've ever had, at any bar, in America. 10/10 would not recommend. We next tried a gin and tonic because surely a 2 ingredient cocktail would be impossible to mess up. It was fine, but for an $11 price tag, the twee little glass it was served in was almost an insult. TLDR: Go for the pizza and leave the drinks to a qualified bartender read more

Cent’s - White pizza and Sunday Gravy (meatball) - Pizza Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Have I not reviewed Cent's yet? That makes no cents!!! I love it here so much. The vibe, the pizza, the drinks, the tiramisu!! It's truly hard to find fault with any aspect of this restaurant. We consistently have good service, excellent food, and unique drinks. When visitors come from out of town, Cents is often at the top of my list of where I want to take them. I feel like for a small to mid sized city Cleveland has more than its fair share of superb pizza shops, and Cents is at the top of the list. On our most recent visit, we got the white pizza and added capers. Delicious! I also got the Rosa spritz which will now be my go to order. I liked it way more than I thought I would (and...of course I already thought I'd like it because I ordered it) With ample street parking and epic pies, there's no reason to not go to Cents right now. read more

Wow, this place is awesome. Especially the vodka sauce. Pizza forget about it but watch yourself a couple drinks at this place with an appetizer and you could have bought a steak down the street read more

I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to pizza and often have no trouble finding something to critique, but Cent's impressed me on all fronts. This is a top-notch pizza place. The pie: Cent's offers up mid-size, thin-crust pizza with a variety of topping combos ranging from the familiar to the surprising. The crust is a delicious balance of blackened crisp and doughy chew - best of both worlds if you ask me. The vibe: Mood lighting, smooth wood and tasteful artistic flourishes abound within. There's a little gift shop up front with designer tees, coffee table books and fine wines on offer. The crew: Everyone I chatted with was kind and knowledgeable. A mix-up with my order was swiftly resolved with no complaint. Chill, cool & competent people work here. read more

This restaurant is absolutely delicious and it is perfect if you're looking for a meal that won't take too long, isn't fussy, and the atmosphere is inviting and funky. I have been here a couple times and I believe I have perfected my ordering to the following (serving 4 people): - Wonder Bread (with butter - absolutely a must. I will get 2 orders of this for a party of 4) * Pairs nicely with: n'duja spread , straciatella, olives (with citrus and chili), and mortadella (surprisingly delicious) - Pink Pizza * I also recommend the Caesar salad but it's a little challenging to split. But 1 order serves 2 people nicely. Notes: They have a sour tropical ale from Hoof Hearted that is truly delicious and unique. My sister is a big negroni fan and she likes to get them from Cents which says a lot. You can't be put on the wait list (or seated) until your entire party arrives read more

I walked in to this place one hour and forty-five minutes before close on a Saturday night with out-of-town guests. Turned away by the host, said they weren't taking any more this night. There were no other parties waiting. I was honestly floored. I know this place is well-regarded and I was very eager to try it, but I feel so burned by this experience, I don't know if I'll ever try again. read more

The ambiance is really stylish, and the servers are friendly, but the food is not worth the price they're charging. We paid $50 plus tip for two medium pizzas and a couple diet cokes. Tinned fish service is unique, but also a little pricey. Pizza was decent, just a little too expensive. read more

We are in Cleveland visiting. Cent's had an AMAZING vibe! The live DJ was an incredible touch. We ordered takeout and they accommodated our 6 pizza order very nicely. We came back and had a drink while we waited. Very friendly staff. read more

The ambiance here is very nice. A very trendy restaurant that looks really cute. There's even a disco ball in the back room. The wonderbread was very delicious. We also got the cherry pie which was good. The crust was a little bit burnt but I kind of enjoy it like that. We sat at the bar and our bartender was very attentive and the service was very good. read more

Cent’s - Cherry Pie - Pizza Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

I will start off by saying that the food is DELICIOUS--the reason why this review is low is really because of the service and dining experience. We came on a Saturday night, and were able to get seated within 15 min without a reservation outside. As soon as we were seated, there were SO MANY ANTS all over our table. We had to keep moving the ants as they would get on our plates and out arms and legs.... Secondly, the wait for food took forever. The wonder bread (which was so yum!!!) came out in like 10 minutes, but we waited OVER 40 MINUTES for the pizza. This seemed longer considering there were ants all over the place. The food is so good. The pizza is light and fluffy. The wonder bread is so fluffy and delicious. You do have to pay extra for butter ($2) and dips ($10) which is very expensive in my opinion... just eat inside or even better... get takeout!!!! read more

We ended up trying Cents on a whim tonight and had a good time! The atmosphere is very nice, the decorations are so cute. We went for the outdoor seating today and I'm excited to get a better look at the inside next time. Our waitress was super nice and had great recommendations for pies to try. I will say the food took a while to come out, the pizzas probably came over a half hour after we ordered. Tonight we got fives pies and an app: Wonder Bread Combo: this was surprisingly good! The cheese really added to it, although I thought my pieces were over salted. This will be a theme tonight. Mr. White: this was my favorite pie by far, definitely a must try Respeck Pizza: this was a recommendation, I thought it was good but again kinda salty Pepperoni: standard pepperoni pizza, I liked the peppers to balance it out Sunday Gravy Gorfunkel: this was a fun one to try with the blue cheese Overall, I liked the pizzas and would probably come back! The only downsides were the waiting and the saltiness read more

Cent's straight up slams. Before we get to food, dope wood fired oven in their open kitchen, really cool clothes and decor up front, including a real pair of Jordan 1 chicagos from 1985, and to top it off they have a great patio Outback perfect for summer. Service is very attentive and quick. Before we get to the pizza which is tops in the city hands down, we gotta start with the wonder bread and stracciatella, I literally think about it for days after I leave. The wonder bread is a perfect wood fired bread, thick enough to have some chew and absorption capabilities, but thin enough to puff up and pull apart with your hands. The stracciatella, is fresh mozzarella strands in extra virgin olive oil, and is the perfect pair to the wonder bread. It's so creamy and smooth salty and fatty, absolutely amazing! Pizzas are incredible, I could stop there but I will continue. We got 3 pizzas to split for 4, the Mr. White, the pepperoni and the Sunday gravy. The pies are one size and come with 6 slices. The mr white was garlic ricotta and mozzarella and was a very light and flavorful white pie. The pepperoni is great comes with cupping pepperonis and pickled chilis. And the Sunday gravy is a tomato basil meatball parmasean pie and is quite flavorful and a great compliment to the first two. All the pies dough has a perfect chew and a great char from the wood fired oven. One of if not the best pizzas in Cleveland (Il Rione). Highly recommend, 11/10. Service 10/10 Ambiance 9/10 Food 12/10 read more

This restaurant was so great. I really enjoyed the atmosphere sitting outside and the pizzas. I also ordered an Aperol spritz, which was delicious. We ordered the wonderBread with anchovies and butter along with the cheese pizza and the Papas pizza. I thought the pizza was delicious fresh and crunchy. our server was also quite nice but the service was a little slow. Will definitely come back. Also, they had a great playlist going on in the background. read more

Cent’s - WonderBread with anchovies - Pizza Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Easily some of the best pizza in town, if not THE best. Vincent Morreli's Cent's has a New York City sensibility to it, which makes sense, as he lived and worked there for a few years before coming home to Ohio. On the edge of Ohio City, he's created a hip pizza oasis that is as delicious as it is cool. I especially love the Gorfunkel, made with Gorgonzola, sausage, pickled chili and red onion, and I'm still dying to try the Cherry Pie, topped with actual luxardo cherries atop dollops of ricotta. Cent's crust is thin and chewy, filling but not greasy or gross. And they've got some killer cocktails these days, too. Bottom line? You're gonna love this spot. Take out-of-towners to show off the city, bring your date here to make yourself look cool, or order a pie to eat from the comfort of your own home. Or do all of these, and keep coming back for more. read more

Service was pretty bad. Maybe we just hit it on a bad night. The wait for the table was not too long but once we were sat outside, we waited approximately 20 minutes before anybody came to the table. The pizza was good. We did walk through the dining room. The dining room seem like a cool vibe, but too loud. May give it another try but not a restaurant I would rush back too. read more

Top 3 best restaurants I ate at in 2023 as well as top 3 best things I ate in 2023!!! We came here first on a rainy day and sat in the cool and moody inside that had a retro movie playing. If there is one thing I can say and you take away from this review is you MUST get the Wonder Bread and Stracciatella. The way this magical bread and cheese mixture dip left me SPEECHLESS. The pizza was also super light and good, but the bread is so wild. We went back again over summer and enjoyed the quaint patio, and you know we HAD to get the Wonder Bread combo again. This is a place again you call your mom and tell her about the delicious meal you had. read more

The pizza is good, the wonder bread likewise. Service is admirable. However, I've never been charged a corkage fee on a bottle of wine I purchased from a restaurant in which I was going to eat and drink. Adding insult to injury, the server didn't mention it would be $20 extra (on top of the $55 price) if you order a bottle. Bad move, that left a bad taste in our mouths. We will find another place to spend $165 for dinner for 3. read more

I think this is by far our favorite place to get pizza in the Cleveland Ohio area. The cherry pizza is quirky and completely different than anything I have ever tried before. It has become my favorite. However every other pizza we have tried is absolutely delicious. So why four stars instead of five that the food deserves? The music is so painfully loud that we never stay to eat dessert because our nerves are shot by the time we're done eating our pizza. I love loud music, but the volume is over the top and right down obnoxious. There were several other people sitting around us that felt the same. Many did not linger, though a couple said they wanted another cocktail and glass of wine, but they could not tolerate the music any longer as they were tired of screaming at each other, trying to make conversation. I too wanted to enjoy another glass of wine, but passed for the same reason I looked for a hidden camera, thinking there's some hidden comedy going on around our table, but as I read through all the previous comments, I see that this one complaint continually rears its ugly head. I'm clueless as to why they have not taken care of this situation by at the very least, turning down the volume a tick or two. I forgot to mention that both my husband and I stuff our ears with wadded up napkins yet still I feel as though I'm inside a speaker at a euro discotech being run by teenage boys who don't know any better. We have debated eating outside from time to time when the weather is nice, but the sun is beating down on the tables with little shade provided so we can either be deafened or be scorched. We have not enjoyed going elsewhere when we were craving this specific pizza simply because we just couldn't take it. All that being said, the pizza is absolutely spectacular and is second to none! read more

Cent’s - The most exquisite cherry pepperoni pizza! - Pizza Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Cents hold a special place in my heart. This place brought some strong pizza to the Clevland scene and everything is damm delicious. Don't let the simplicity of wonder bread fool you because it's far better than just your average bread appetizer. Any pizza you can't go wrong. Despite a huge sign saying CASH ONLY THEY ACCEPT CARDS LOL. The sauce is spot on as is the pickled veggies. The cocktails are superb and the ambience is super chill. Side note they have a mini store where you can buy some cool little gifts on your way out ! read more

NOT FAMILY FRIENDLY yes the pizza is good but I was APPALLED when I realized the restaurant was playing soft porn on the big screen in the main seating area while my 3yr old was there at 5PM on a Saturday. Will not be going back.... I'm beyond upset that my child was exposed to that! Shameful! read more

A VIBE. I visited with my bf right at opening so it wasn't crowded yet. But the aesthetic is unique and fresh compared to other places opening up in Cleveland. It's much smaller than I expected though so I'm sure wait times can get wild on a weekend or during regular dinner hours. The bread appetizer was solid, not necessarily anything phenomenal but if you order it get the chili sauce on the side to dip into! (Note: the bread doesn't come with any dips, you have to order a sauce for $2 extra which I'm not a huge fan of but aw well). The kale Caesar salad was a little dry, I was expecting a bit more from the taste of the dressing. It fell a bit flat for me, however, the portion size is HUGE. And finally, the pizza. This is where Cents truly shines. The tomato sauce tastes so fresh I felt like they must have picked the tomato's off the vine. The crust was delicious and the toppings/cheese worked harmoniously. I love the concept of regularly switching up their wine by the glass. Wish they had a happy hour during the early hour! read more

Cents is among my 3 favorite pizza places in Cleveland. It's a cozy little restaurant in Ohio City, so make sure to get there early! They have a cute store section at the entrance where you can hang out while you wait. It's great for both group dinners and dates. I usually get a pizza to share (slowly making it through the menu!) and bread and cheese for appetizer (don't skip that one). The service is efficient, and everyone is super nice. read more

New York style perfect portion pizza for two on a date night not wanting to bring home leftovers. Again date night, tons of variety with cocktails, and wines of the night. Biggest regret is not ordering the tiramisu but will be back. Service is excellent, it's pizza so an appetizer and glass of wine will help in the meantime. The layout is super retro and cute, omg the disco ball in the back is classic.
