    Had a pepperoni and sausage with pesto and hot honey. Was in and out in no time nice guy who made the pizza . Small spot but that's all u need.

    Imagine: you and your friends have spent a long evening bar-hopping through the lively Tremont neighborhood. Buzzed and starving, you stumble across a NYC-style slice shop directly along your critical path. In the moment, it feels like Moses parting the Red Sea before your very eyes. You watch happy patrons pile out with slices as large as your head, you smell the delicious grease; you can practically taste your pie already. Stepping inside, this religious experience continues when, right as you ready yourself to order, you watch the pizza barista pull a hot, fresh pie directly from the oven. You can see instantly deduce the pizza is perfectly cooked--the cheese is melted evenly, the smell of the tomato sauce lingers in the air, the crust has just the right bend--you look the cashier in the eye and declare that a slice of that fresh-out-of-the-oven pizza pie is exactly what you want. Now imagine the horror as the cashier takes that fresh slice of pizza, perfect as Michelangelo's David, and PUTS IT BACK IN THE OVEN. Horrified, you can do nothing but watch as your already amazing slice of pizza is burnt to a crisp. Served to you five minutes later, your wonderfully floppy New York slice now has the consistency of a saltine cracker. It has been charred to the point of burying the cheese and sauce--replaced by the flavor of charcoal. You might think this is an indulgent (and even pretentious) way to simply say "the pizza was overcooked," but I believe understanding the promise of this product is essential to understanding the pain of its disappointment. Lil Ronnie's is the type of place that has all of the potential to become a legitimate contender for the best pizza in town--it does so much right with its atmosphere and location, and my nose and sight told me the potential exists within that original version of the slice! Just please. We only need to cook the pizza once.

    Lil Ronnie's is a great place to get a slice right in Tremont! We ordered a slice with an arugula pesto and it was good--but a little bit too salty for my taste. But service was quick and everyone was friendly!

    Such a stellar opening. I wasn't sure anything could replace Edison's in my heart (RIP please come back to another brick and mortar), but Lil Ronnie's has really shown out. Whereas at Il Rione, you have to wait a long time to sit down and get your pie, at Lil Ronnie's you walk in and can walk out with a slice in a few minutes. The holy grail slice you can get right now is the pepperoni with hot honey on it. The mix of the grease from the pepperoni with the spicy honey is practically an aphrodisiac. Runner up goes to the white pie with the pesto on top. The real MVP is the service though - so delightfully pleasant and efficient.

    Stopped by for a slice of Pepperoni on a Saturday around 4:30pm. No line. Only had to wait less than 5 mins for the slice to be warmed up. Nice thin and crispy crust. It sure was delicious!

    This is literally a hole in the wall place that has the best pizza in town. Located in Tremont. It seriously lacks nothing. The pizza sauce is paved with flavor and the crust is perfect. I love how crispy the crust is. I highly recommend this spot.

    I found Lil Ronnie's via the Too Good to Go Program. It's awesome to have a reasonably priced pizza by the slice place in Tremont. They are on Professor right down the street from the historic Saint John Cantius Church. Finding GREAT value for the money and an Outstanding product is a golden combination.

    Lil Ronnie's is a 10/10 pizza spot in Cleveland. The location is prime on Professor Ave where you can walk up to grab a slice and walk around Tremont. They always have slices available and you can order a full pie (when available). The white pizza is my favorite - it has ricotta cheese and lots of garlic; it's phenomenal! I've always been served extremely quickly but I know it can get busy sometimes. It's right next to Edison's Pub so you can walk in for a slice then grab a drink next door. I love that it's a little walk-up pizza shop with a really cool atmosphere. Stop in next time you're in Tremont!

    Tiny take out place serving decent New York style pizza at a fair price. They have an agreement with Edison's Pub next door where you can bring your pizza and sit down to eat. Service is fast and the slices are fresh/decently sized so Lil Ronnie's is definitely worth a stop if you want a quick bite.

    White pizza with pesto and white pizza with hot honey drizzle!!
    Meghana S.

    Okay!! So m a huge huge huuuuuuuuggeeee fan of Il Rione and when I heard they were opening up bang next door to Edisons I can't tell you the excitement I had!! Infact I've been so excited that I've eaten a few times since they opened and have never waited to click a pic of the pizza so I can post it here (glutton as charged - get the pun). But but but... I did manage to take a pic one time last week (phew..IKR) before I devoured it down in a jiffy would be an understatement but honestly I love love love their pizzas! They're are by far the best pizzas I've had in Cleveland!! So I usually get the cheese ones but this time I got 2 white slices one with hot honey and the other with pesto! Pesto on a white pizza - bad idea (atleast for me), cos it got too rich on the palate esp when ricotta meets olive oil but was it delicious - you betcha!!!! Thank God I had it last cos I couldn't eat a bite after I finished that one! I guess pesto on a regular margarita or cheese is cool cos the acidity of the tomato cuts through the richness of pesto! Oh but the Hot honey drizzle yum yum yummmmmaayyyyyy!!! So Hot Honey on the white pizza is my new favorite way of pizza-ing!! Overall loving my new pizza neighbours.

    Solid slice of pizza. It's not up to the same standard as the parent restaurant, Il Rione, but it's still a very good pie.

    Went in yesterday for pizza with my boyfriend. Realized on google it said it was more of a "take…read moreout" place so we ordered ahead. Coming into the store there was a cute counter by the window if you did decide to sit inside and eat. We came all the way from Kent for the pizza and wanted to try a slice before we left for home so my boyfriend ate a slice in the parking lot really quick. An employee (possibly the owner) came out with napkins and offered us to sit inside. We declined as we had to leave but the man graciously went inside and brought us out cold water bottles for our drive home! It was such a thoughtful gesture. Now onto the pizza. It was delicious! We ordered a regular pepperoni pizza and the white Neapolitan style pizza. It wouldn't let me add pineapple to my pizza online, which was fine because it didn't need it, the pizza was so good! My boyfriend loved his pepperoni pizza and I also enjoyed my Neapolitan style white pizza. It had a great garlicky flavor and was crispy on the crust. Will definitely be back to try the margarita pizza next! So if you're looking for a great pizza with hospitality I recommend coming to Joe De's!

    I've been here twice and I think it's become my new favorite pizza place! The regular pizzas are…read moregood and generous with the toppings, but the Margherita pizza is AMAZING omg! It reminds me of my trip to Italy! I didn't care for the motz sticks personally, tasted like a funnel cake to me haha. The wings were okay. The onion rings were tasty! The garlic bread was tasty too! I wish they had a few better salad options personally. The employee (and I assume owner?) is SO warm and welcoming, treating you like an old friend. I LOVE THIS PLACE !

    I did my research on some pizza places in the Cleveland area before visiting in December 2025, and…read moreIl Rione came up. When I saw the ratings, I decided to give it a try while I was in Cleveland. On the day I went, one of my closest friends who is from Cleveland happened to be in the area at the same time I was, so we decided to try Il Rione together before having Mitchell's Homemade Ice Cream afterward. Parking was a bit tricky, as we were unable to park right in front of the restaurant, but fortunately we found a spot reasonably close, so we did not have to walk too far. When we first walked in, the first thing I noticed was the atmosphere. Not only did the restaurant smell amazing from the baking pizzas, but it was also tastefully decorated for Christmastime and cozy. We were seated immediately, and our server was attentive and helpful, making us feel welcome and even offering suggestions on their best-selling pizzas. I ended up ordering the sausage pizza, and while the pizza as a whole was outstanding, the sauce was the best I have ever had. Whatever their sauce recipe is, it was unbelievable, and it will be difficult to top that particular sauce. My friend enjoyed his pizza as well, saying it was one of the best pizzas he had ever tasted. Il Rione is one of the best pizzas I have ever had. I will be more than happy to return the next time I am in the Cleveland area.

    Is the interior small, cute and cozy? Yes. Do you have to wait quite a while to be seated because…read moreof the aforementioned small aspect of this place? Yes. Since they don't take reservations, mentally prepare yourself for the wait. I came here with three friends on a Friday around 6:00/6:30 and waited around 50 minutes. It was nice outside so we just hung around outside of the restaurant. When we were seated the service was fast. We opted for the arugula salad and rione salad for the table and the salads were honestly delicious. For pizza, we ordered the larger size sausage pie (red sauce, mozzarella, roasted peppers, sautéed onions, garlic and parmesan). Thin crust with a good bite that holds its integrity pretty decently. Overall, this os probably one of the better pizzas in Cleveland.
