Only 1 server was on staff on a Saturday afternoon. The place wasn't busy and we were told by the hostess that it would be 5 minutes. Our server was pleasant and very helpful. I am amazed that food prices have gone up, but quantity and quality have decreased. No sign of management at all to assist with business. Very disappointing visit. read more

The food is consistently delicious and the customer service was above and beyond! We do not live in Youngstown and look forward to getting a carry out whenever we visit. read more

IC use to be great..now its trash, service is horrible, pizza is bad, who ever manages the place...needs to be fired The TV system is all messed up, dont bother trying to watch a game there...they will have all TVs on same game...the competition for your hard earned money is 10x better...ownership should be embarrased..place has gone down hill and no one even cares read more

Over priced, not very friendly service, and can't believe they actually put this in a box to give to someone, it is to bad, not like it use to be, like the original, the owners need to be present I guess. Here is what they tried to give me for $14 read more

Inner Circle Pizza Canfield - Pizza Near Me - Canfield, Ohio

I've been here too many times to count. Back in town for Christmas, I had to stop in and see how they were doing. I'm happy to report that this place still has the charm, food, service, and atmosphere that makes it a must stop for a relaxed, pub experience with a Youngstown flare. The calzones are great. I always get sauce on the side. The wings are very good too. I don't think I've ever been here that I didn't get the Circle Salad. The Italian dressing is perfect Their beer selection has always been diverse and quality. I wish they had more than Penguin City from a local craft perspective. I'll be honest, I didn't get their pizza often when I lived here, but we didn't eat much pizza. When we did, we opted for Sam's in Newton Falls, but IC was a close second when we wanted more diverse topping options. I don't recall ever being disappointed. Service at the bar on this visit was stellar. If Polina is working the bar, you'll be in for a treat. Ask to see her dogs, Pumpkin is adorable In the end, this place has a vibe, if you wanna make it happen. We loved it on cold winter evenings, warming up with a beer and a calzone, sitting at a high top and enjoying each other's company. Life is what you make it, Inner Circle provides a great backdrop read more

Inner Circle Pizza Canfield - a pint of beer - Pizza Near Me - Canfield, Ohio

This was my first encounter with any Inner Circle Pizza eatery and it will be the last. There were 8 in our party; all on separate checks. We had paper placemats showing the menu and prices. It took some time for the waitress to come to the table to even take our drink orders. As she was taking the orders I heard someone ask for Cauliflower crust for their pizza so I asked if the Boss Pizza I was ordering from the right side of the menu (which I pointed to) under "Specialty Pizzas" came with a Cauliflower crust. She said it did so I asked for The Boss Pizza (which had 4 meats) with a Cauliflower crust. Little did I know that the $13.99 8" pizza I was ordering (and expecting maybe a small upcharge for the crust) would turn out to be $19.99 in a 10" "gluten free pizza from the opposite side of the menu charging $1.50/each of the 4 meat toppings that was on the Boss! I feel the waitress should have pointed that out since I would never pay $19.99 for a 10" pizza, especially the quality that came out! She was complicit in the deception! The quality was so poor that what I took home wasn't even fit to be consumed after reheating in my air fryer. Most other restaurants I frequent employ waitresses that are quick to tell you of any upcharges and ask if that's okay. And since there were 8 in our party, each paying separately, we were each charged a 20% "gratuity" of our charges on our bills for "a party of 8 or more" as printed on the menu, poor service or not! In the end I ended up paying $29.94 for a horrible pizza and a glass of lemonade! read more

I am not sure why rating is so low... always great food and service! Great bar with great pizza and wings. Hot chips are a must!

Easily one of the worst places for food in the area - with eye watering prices. Can go to niccolinis across the street for same price food and much much better quality read more

The BEST Burgers, onion rings and Fries on THE Planet. Super service by the servers. It's nice to dine at a place and know they appreciate their guests. read more

This restaurant is in a decent space, kind of out of the way but easy enough to get to. The service was fine and the pizza was just ok. When I say OK, there was nothing necessarily wrong with it, but it didn't really have much flavor, good or bad. It kind of reminded me of a fresh grocery store pizza that you'd take home and throw in the oven. Like I said it's not that it was bad, but when you go to a pizzeria, you expect to get a pizza that's much better than something you could buy at a grocery store. read more

The service was terrible cause they took 20 minutes to get our drinks then on top of that it took an hour to get our food then they ended up forgetting our meatball sandwich claiming they missed it on the ticket. Also the smell in the bathroom hallway smelled like sewage. In all the food was good but not the wait. read more

Not very good. Very bland. It's a bar on the inside so ambiance isn't great. Sorry friends.

Ordered some pizza for take out. The pizza was completely uncooked. Called the store and the manager spoke to me like it was an inconvenience I was calling about my raw pizza. He offered half off for the raw pizza. There are too many places that have great pizza in this area to eat here again. read more

Watch your check if you're eating at the Canfield Inner Circle. The suggested Tip recommendation is highly inflated over the recommendation of percentages: our bill was $22.97 Tax. 1.72 Balance $24.69 Suggested Tip 18% = 5.93 20% = 6.59 22% = 7.25 Will not be returning there plus the pricing was somewhat high for nothing special as far as taste is concerned. read more

Inner Circle Pizza Canfield - Food tab - Pizza Near Me - Canfield, Ohio

It's not that this place used to be great, but it never was THIS bad. My wife's comment was "this pizza is worse than what they served in the cafeteria in high school" and she's not wrong. How you screw up pizza I don't know, but I suppose a combination of undercooked, unsalted dough, and bland sauce would be great starting points if your goal was to serve above-room-temperature disappointment. Their sandwiches had always been good enough, but even that's not true anymore. Again, nothing is salted, so they're relying on the natural flavors (lol) of mass produced frozen meats from Sysco. The fries are still pretty good, though that's such a low bar to clear that I don't know how much it matters. It's not as if French fries are some novelty with limited availability. The wings are good, but again, everyone sells good wings at this point so there's no huge value add. The service is lousy, which for 2024 isn't a huge shocker, but it adds another reason to simply go elsewhere (or really just stay home). It shouldn't take almost an hour to get food out to a table of four on a weeknight. I think the premise of this place has shifted from casual family dinning to catering to the barstool crowd who 1.) consume higher margin draft beers, and 2.) are probably ambivalent about the quality of the food (because of said beers). That's fine if you're going for that kind of business, there's money to be made in that space. But if that's your aim then don't expect glowing reviews from normal people who made the mistake of thinking a restaurant would serve them decent food in a reasonable time frame. read more

Horrible ... They claim to be open till 10 pm. After calling and they stated kitchen is open till 10pm. Would not seat my family at 8:55 pm. This is the 2nd time in weeks. Will never go back. Taking my $$ down the road to other businesses that want to service the community. read more

The wings were perfect hot not too much but enough to add a tingle. The stuffed hot peppers were outstanding. Plenty of TVs to watch all the sporting events you want. read more

Ugh. They know you have no options. That means the food and the service is totally sub-par. You could go to the painfully empty Ruby Tuesday next door, but it almost seems like they're closed. Here's what you can expect: Staff who don't care and/or are over worked. In fact, many of them seem to have taken the night off and are now hanging around the bar despite the fact that the rest of them as so busy you'll wait for 10 minutes to get a chance to ask for ketchup or a refill on your beer. Food that's so bad it must be cheap. Somehow this place is packed (see: only option). They're doing well enough that they are still in business, by someone decided to cut cost on food. The fry pictured is a good representative sample. That's not poorly cooked. Anyone can cook a fry. That's the cheapest fry you can buy. Your sandwich, salad or pizza will be similar. Sadly, you have no other options. Bon appetite! read more

I Know someone who worked here and they claimed to have gotten harassed by another employee in the kitchen!!!!!! All i have heard about this restaurant is bad things. The food isn't as good as it used to be. Even came here a few weeks ago and my salad lettuce looked like it was rotting. This business is going to the dumps. Look into the people you are hiring inner circle!!! These young girls don't feel safe working in such an environment! Better your management and you'll better the rest! Lost my service for good after hearing what these employees go through. read more

On travel and staying at the hotel across the street. So I thought I'd stop in for a beer, and a meal. Went into a partially packed bar, sat down, and waited about 15 minutes having been looked at by the two people working behind the bar. No one approached me to ask for a drink order, or provided a menu. After waiting with no service sitting at the bar. Decided this place wasn't worth bringing my money to. Despite the mile and a half drive down the road, the pour house was a much better choice. Highly recommend any travelers stay away from this place read more

Their hot chips used to be salty, crispy, with really good French onion dip. The chips we got tonight - some were overdone, like they were fried twice, and some were pale and limp. The dip was as good as it usually is. I ordered the spinning bowl salad. Every spinning bowl salad I've ever had in Youngstown was lettuce, hard boiled egg, croutons, and dressing. This one has bacon bits all throughout it and I couldn't eat it as I can't eat bacon. We also ordered the eggplant parm pizza. I can imagine it was so low quality because no one ever orders it and they used old eggplant. Very mushy, no flavor. We keep trying inner circle every 8-12 months or so. This was our 4th try in the recent years and will be the last. read more

We were in last night after graduation. There were 19 of us, and the service was OUTSTANDING, as was the food. Our server handled all of us perfectly, zero errors. So friendly as well. Very pleased! read more

The food is good. The service not so much.. Now I only say the service isn't very good because the server(s) would rather talk with friends than ask how our meal is or if we would like our drinks refilled or even if we saved room for dessert. After the check/bill is brought to me I dont think I should have to wait 10 minutes for them to return and collect payment.. The food is still good though. So if you dont mind waiting on a fairly lazy server, it's a good place to eat.. The pizza is really good hence the name Inner Circle PIZZA.. read more

We love it. Whether getting pizza for takeout or eating and having a drink. Great spot for an affordable meal out.

Was sat at a table at 7:35 - at 7:50 I went to the bar to ask for someone to come take our order, bring drinks, something. No one came - at 8:00, we left. read more

I have gone here three times. I was suprised how good it was. I used to eat and drink at the YSU campus Inner Circle 33 years ago (when I was 17, hey, things were different then...) and thought that was OK. A few months ago, went to this one in Canfield. Now, I was no fan of I.C. pizza. I thought the dough was too bready and undercooked. This place changed my mind. And the interior is very very nice. Great seating, lots'o'TV's, and the service was really good. Now is my second favorite pie. Cornersburg (in Cornersburg) is #1, Belleria in cornersburg is barely #2 (I hate it since they closed the sit down restaurant, and the manager is a schlemiel) and Inner Circle in Canfield is #3. (although my wife would probably say Elmton is #1, and drop Cornersburg pizza off the list entirely). They have a great varied menu, the pizza is very good, the service is good, and you get great service. And the decor (I hate that word) is very nice as well. The only reason I do not give a five star, is because no pizza deserves five stars. Go here, with friends, or after golf, or with your family and young children. You will not be disappointed. read more

The wedge salad had a spot that was starting to rot. The tap water tasted like mold. The wings were a bit chewy and had some broken bones, do watch out for pieces of bone. read more

Worst pizza I've ever eaten. Seriously a frozen pizza cooked at home would've been better Crust was soft and doughy and pepperoni wasn't cooked on the pizza it was just laying on top of it. Also the soda has a terrible chemical taste and not enough coke syrup Would never eat here again read more

I stopped in for drinks and decided to have some food. It's worth a visit! They have good food, great service and a nice atmosphere. The hotel is within walking distance which is good too! read more

Probably the worst meal I have had ever. Our appetizer of hot chips came out burnt. The waiter Dustin did ask if we wanted them remade, but we were told by the next table to us that Dustin had already had a rough night with other customers concerning their food, so we declined. Pizza and wings were next and the pizza was as burnt as the chips. I have always had good food at Inner Circle but not tonight. Who is watching what comes out of the kitchen? It's a shame to see it go down hill. read more

Good food. Quality is consistent. Love the calzone and wings are always good. The wedge salad is delicious!

went here with my grandparents after bowling, food was delicious! customer service was amazing, no wait! i recommend the cinnamon sticks!

Could have been a four star review if they had served the Italian greens they always had instead of some cabbage and onions with a sprinkle of escarole. The waitress was good and the atmosphere classic. We had Stromboli, perogies, and a salad. read more

The only reason I'm giving it so many stars is because the bartender Billy is so cool. Food is "meh" but he really helps make the whole experience pleasant! read more

This is not the first time I have had bad service and sub-par food at this restaurant. Options for pizza and wings in Canfield are limited, so we ventured to try it again. BUT, as you can see by the star rating it didn't work out for us. First, it took us 20 minutes to even be acknowledged once we were seated. Once we placed our order it took another 40 minutes to get the food. The little bit of salad dressing we did receive didn't even cover 1/3 of the salad, we asked for additional dressing and never received it. The wings came out with 0 to no sauce on them, even the waitress acknowledged that and took them back to get more sauce, which we were charged for. There were 3 of us and the waitress only gave us 2 sets of utensils and never returned with the 3rd so we had to share, we asked for additional napkins and never got them, I had to go to the bar and get napkins which then I was interrogated as to why I needed them. REALLY? We ordered wings!!!! The pizza was not good, sauce tasted old. This place used to be the place to go for good food and service, but lately not so much! Very over priced for very bad service and food. BAD MANAGEMENT WILL KILL A BUSINESS! read more

A great local spot to have a meal and a few beverages. I ordered Fat Tuesday special pork chops. They were some of the best chops i have ever tasted. Service was great even as they got super busy. A great place. I will be back. read more

MY wife and I visited here FOR the first time last week and food was good. Bartender Andrick struck up conversation to tell us how he was working here temporarily as he had just graduated law school. My wife and I are both retired executives from a retail service company and financial service company. My wife offered to get him an interview at her company and took the time to reach out to her CEO to see if they had opening for a lawyer. She did so and we actually went out of the way to drop by and give him the CEOs personal cell number. Just went in today and sat at the bar and Andrick waited on us. My wife ordered a martini from the drink menu and after a rather lengthy wait was informed by Andrick they were out of one of the ingredients. He gave her a drink menu and came back 10 minutes later and she placed an order of another drink. Instead of fulfilling her order Andrick floated around the bar talking to what I perceive as regulars and messing with TVs. After about 20 minutes he came back to our side of the bar and continued to refill other peoples drinks and converse with customers. When he passed by my wife flagged him down and said "excuse me, can I get a drink and we have been ready to order". Andricks response was " that no one talks to me like this. Just get out now!! At that point I advised him that we would not as all we were asking for was to be served. He threatened to call the police. My reply was "for what? Asking that you wait.on us? Andrick started cursing using the MF word in front of everyone at the bar so we left. My wife and I have been together for 35 years and never have we have we been asked to leave any establishment. Andrick was the rudest snow flake I have ever encountered and not suited to serve the public nor does he have the temperament to be a member of a state's bar. I am looking forward to sharing this story with our friends and family during our remaining time in the Mahoning Valley. read more

Inner Circle, when I was at YSU IN THE 70's had the most amazing pizza! Idk if it's the food, or some of the wait staff, but I haven't had a good experience here.
