    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    Closest thing to NY Style pizza you will find in Cleveland. The Cheese slice was 8.7 Pepperoni with Hot Honey 8.1 White Slice 7.8. Would love to have this with the Clams on it

    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 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 !

We ordered two small specialty pizzas and one extra-large pizza, all with pan crust. After placing our order, I overheard the kitchen mention they were out of pan crust, but no one informed us right away. When our two small pizzas arrived, I assumed the extra-large was still being prepared. When I asked about it, our server told me I had requested it to go, which I had not. To her credit, she tried to make things right by providing a pizza to take home, but the crusts and sizes were still not what we originally ordered. She also spent time explaining what was going on in the kitchen. Personally, I prefer when a problem is simply corrected rather than accompanied by excuses. In the end, I didn't eat much because I didn't care for the hand-tossed crust. To add to the disappointment, an automatic 20% gratuity was added to the bill, which was surprising and something I had never seen there before. Overall, this was not the experience I've come to expect from this restaurant. I'm not sure I'll be returning anytime soon.

If you check out my reviews, you'll see that I've sampled pizzas in more than one state and more than one country, including Italy. I've sampled many types of crusts and sauces. While the crust here is fine (not the best), the sauce is repulsive. My daughter said "Dad, this area is heavily populated with people from Eastern Bloc countries," to which I responded "If they like their pizza sweet, so be it. But I certainly don't." I understand that there are plenty of pizza styles, including the Greek version, which includes cinnamon on occasion. Yuck. This place is called Napoleon's Pizza, and they claim to conquer pretty much everything, from your pizza craving to the whole town of Parma. Indeed, Napoleon was an Italian dude who was born in France. His conquering skills were excellent, until his greed resulted in the deaths of thousands of soldiers who froze to death. All of that to say, I might've named this place Napoli's Pizza (since Napoli is the birthplace of the pizza we know today). But the sweet sauce here is an abomination, so maybe 'Napolean's' is more appropriate after all.

The food I ordered the anchovy margherita pizza and it was a solid 9.5/10. Easily one of the closest pizzas I've had in the U.S. to the authentic Roman-style pizzas I remember. The only minor criticism -- and honestly not really their fault -- was that the anchovies tasted slightly canned, giving a bit more fishiness than the fresh anchovies commonly used in Italy. The service One of the owners, Annie, felt like the Italian nonna welcoming you into her home. Warm, thoughtful, conversational and constantly making sure everyone was taken care of. That hospitality elevated the entire experience. The atmosphere The restaurant is smaller and lively, so it can get pretty loud, especially on a Saturday night. The music was a tad louder than I personally prefer, but I also think it helps balance out the constant buzz of conversation happening at every table. The wait My friend and I arrived around 6:30 PM on a Saturday and the wait was about an hour and a half -- which is wild for a pizza place, but also says everything about how popular it is. Worth it? If you're craving authentic Italian pizza, absolutely. Overall The food alone makes the noise and wait worthwhile, and the hospitality makes you want to come back. I'd absolutely return the next time I'm in Cleveland.
