Honestly this is one of my top pizza places. I like this location as well as the one on market street but this one always seem to be just a tad better. I always recommend new people to the area to try uptown. Love their choices and everything that I have tried has always slapped! read more

I used to enjoy the pizza at Uptown. Just had some tonight and things have changed...unfortunately not for the best. The sauce was sweet and has never been sweet before. I'm not sure if they are using sauce straight out of the can or someone is messing with the recipe. Tonight's pizza was utterly disappointing. read more

Their prices drove us away completely. Two 12 inch pizzas with one topping each were over $30....same thing at Ianazones for less than $20. We will most assuredly never go back to Uptown, as they have literally outpriced the local market. read more

New owners have kept everything the same! If it's not broken don't fix it! Truly one of my favorite pizzas in the area. We are known for having an incredibly diverse pizza offering in the area and Uptown always delivers. read more

This place was awesome. Tried it for the first time as I have heard so much good about it. The waitress was very polite and pleasant to interact with. I had a meatball sub. It is a little smaller in size but absolutely priced accordingly. WOW was this sub good. The meat tasted very good. Sauce was excellent and lots of cheese on top. The bun was perfectly toasted. I also had a bowl of wedding soup. It was no disappointment as well. All of the correct ingredients and the right amount of each. Overall I will absolutely be coming back to this little pizza shop often. Keep in mind it's nothing fancy BUT the food makes it all better. MUST TRY!! read more

This was Mr. V's favorite spot for pizza. This and Niccolinni's in Wedgewood. I never ate here. Drove by it, a lot, finally came in a couple times. First, place is closed Mon and Tues due to employee shortage. Second, employees they got are great. And third, the wedding soup kills. The pizza has a great crispy bite with a nice chew. Your perfect Youngstown pizza. Also they got draft beer. And even after a couple hours crust still got a crisp crunch to it. Close to work, here's to you Mr. V! Thanks for the tip! read more

Delicious pizza. Got a Briar Hill with extra peppers and black olives. It was wonderful. The dough had that nice crackle when you bite into it. Sauce was good and there were ample toppings. I'll go back. read more

One of the top four pizza shops in Youngstown, Liberty Uptown Pizza is delish. Crust is thick, edges crispy but not dry, and they're always generous with the cheese so no "extra cheese" orders necessary. Great for economical lunches (little Joe, salad, and drink + tip for under $10). read more

Ya know, cuz its a 15 minute drive, I overlook Uptown. Now esp in this area there's a pizza joint on every corner, so it seems, and there's prolly a lot more misses than hits. Now, Uptown's been a fixture for years- it was on my short list back in the 90's when I lived nearby. Tried it today at the wife's suggestion. Sweet Lord, just as I remembered. Crust? Excellent, with a crisp and a chew. Sauce? Bingo. Cheese galore. And a side note- best sausage I've EVER had on a pizza if that's your topping of choice. Place was hopping when I went to pick up, Uptown's still popular. Dang I was impressed by these 2 pizzas I'll def be back. 5 stars read more

This is the goat Youngstown Pizza, and there is no debate. Well done plain pizza. You can never go wrong.

I hardly ever give 5 starts, however this place is easily that and outstanding. Great spaghetti, salad, garlic bread, pizza and service. Higher recommend and will be back read more

Best pizza in town. I love everything about the pizza, it cannot be compared! The cheese and sauce is over the top, and crust is perfect!

Good food at a reasonable price. Service is very good too. I just wish they weren't closed on Monday and Tuesdays

Stopped in on our way west on 80. The staff was great. We had pizza, fried cheese, French fries and salad. I would order two pies next time. Definitely worth visiting. Sauce was delicious!!! read more

With all the fantastic pizza places in and around the Youngstown/Mahoning Valley, we always come back to Uptown. One of our favorite places. Never had a order wrong, or had bad food. My go to is pepperoni,sausage,green peppers and banana peppers...Yum. Can't go wrong at Uptown! read more

The restaurant is always packed yet clean. The pizza (wings, chicken parm, fresh salad) is the absolute best, even beating out NY pizza! The staff is professional and courteous. They do such an amazing job! They should all see substantial raises. I've never had a bad experience with either staff or food. Love this place! read more

Lunch special everyday....cup of Italian Wedding Soup and a 6" pizza for $4.75. That is a deal that is just too good to pass up!! Great service, good food. The wedding soup was really delish. The pizza, which they call the "little joe", is awesome. Although it's only 6", it's thick-crust, and LOADED will cheese all the way to the edge! Other toppings cost extra, but it's still a great deal, with good food. It does get quite busy around the 12p-1p hour. read more

Picked up a 12" today with pepperoni and mushrooms. Sauce was bland and the pepperoni was super thin. The staff was nice and the order was ready and hot at pickup. I will not order from here again. Pizza was not up to my standards. read more

Have been going to Uptown Pizza for over 60 years,, taste as good as did then, I have known Mark for over 25 years and he has never changed. excellent menu, always excellent taste and great staff read more

Good fried cheese!!! Awesome white pizza!! Cool staff!! Good time frames, never too busy and always makes your order correctly

Placed a takeout order at 1220, told 45 minutes. It's 145 and I just received it. Girl just sat it down on counter. No sorry no let's make it right. Won't be back Update the food that was ready on the correct time was just left sitting out for 40 minutes so when the rest of the orders came through, it was a cold. Terrible read more

Best pizza in the entire world, super cute little place with quick service & unbeatable prices

This is some of the best pizza in Youngstown I love the taste of the crust of the pizza I think they taste comes from their ovens it's delicious read more

Stopped by on a whim on my way to PA. Had the side salad and a pepperoni roll, with Italian sausage instead. Everything was awesome! Terrific food and helpful, friendly service. I'll be back! read more

I have come to Uptown since I was a kid and after 30 years it still tastes EXACTLY the same. This is what pizza should be like. Perfect crisp/chewy ratio, tasty sauce, tons of cheese and so greasy you need a napkin to soak it up before eating omnomnom, lol. We also love the pasta and the specials are so reasonable one could almost live on Uptown for a week for the deals. For the beginner I recommend the Little Joe and Salad deal (Tangy Italian Dressing and a salad loaded with beets, olives, chickpeas and peppers). Grab a beer or my favorite pairing is a root beer (wishing they still had New York Seltzer like the old days). Fresh food is made to order so be patient, it's worth the wait when it's busy even if it smells like grandma's kitchen which tortures a hungry belly!!! read more

Great pizza at great prices. The Italian Wedding Soup is also very good. I will definitely be coming back here for dinner with my family.

Love this place! Great pizza, awesome sandwiches. You can also order dough balls here the day prior, and I love making pizza at home. Cheap beer and great food. Can't go wrong read more

Three stars solely for the great pizza. Terrible customer service. Walked in at 850pm right after a party of three just got seated (they still had menus and didn't even order yet) but the big blonde girl told us we could only order takeout. Really? They technically don't even close til 10pm. That's some lazy shit right there. read more

I'm in school and I travel a lot for rotations. I LOVE this place every time I'm in Youngstown! They have the best fried cheese! And their pizza is delicious, all for a very reasonable price! read more

This place has been around for at least 30 years. And for good reason! Their pizza is outSTANDing. There are only two sizes: the regular size (12 inch) and the much smaller, single-serving Little Joe. The sauce is a bit sweet, the cheese is just right, and the crust is not quite thin, not quite thick. Excellent Italian wedding soup too. And prices are very reasonable. Service is friendly if super-casual. The place is small, only seats about 50, and it can get crowded during the weekdays lunch hour. Otherwise they're accessible. Take-out is the norm but there's decent seating. read more

only thing making this a 3 is that the pizza was still amazing despite the ridiculous wait time. Called and ordered and they said 30-35 minutes. No problem. I had to stop at the hair store in Liberty Plaza. I was in the store for 20 minutes. Made my way down to Uptown and when I walked in it was a total of 31 minutes. She said 5-10 minutes more. Uhhh ok. So I sat and watched the girl who was taking the money cut customers mini pizza's and use the corner of her fingers to put them on the plates. HUH?!?!? I'm confused. Shouldn't you wash your hands?!?!?! I wasn't 100% sure she didn't wash so I just sat back waiting for it to occur again. So she then disappeared. I wait an additional 16 minutes after the initial 5-10 when I first arrived and finally my damn pizza came out. FINALLY!!!! If I wasn't in town for only a short time and was craving this greasy yet super delish pizza I would've left a long time ago. The girl came back out and I watched her.....if you touch my pizza or anyone elses Im gonna lose it. Nope she didn't lol. Super delish....not worth an hr wait that's for sure. Just get your est times correct ppl. read more

The perfect pizza! The crust is excellent and the sauce is great! If I could I would have this pizza shipped to California. 12 inch extra cheese and roasted red pepper for around 10 bucks became my best friend during my Ohio trip. I tried it and went back the next day! I used to go here in college for the little joe and salad for around 4.00 ! This is the best pizza I've had in quite some time! Love it! read more

Uptown Pizza Shops - Extra cheese and roasted red pepper - Pizza Near Me - Youngstown, Ohio

2016-06-11 Visit.. This rating I wasnt sure o becuase the food itself was great. but what happen to my pizza is becuase of the dumb server.. so here are the actual rating.. Food 4.0 Service 0.0 So I average it to 2.0 As previous people have said there is a long wait for the pizza. However they are cooking it fresh and as I watch my food cook I notice they have a two step cook process.. First they bake the pizza in a pan and then put it back in without the pan to crisp up the crust a little. Which gives it the perfect light crunch of the crust but still remains soft. I order the small 6inch pizza which they put in a wax bag and the then put in a paper bag with napkins. Now here comes the problem. The server hand me the bag vertically. I automatically noticed this and then correct my carry carrying the bag to my car (since I made a to go order). down the road I went till the pizza was cool enough to eat.. I open the bag and all the cheese and sauce slide off the pizza to the bottom of the bag. so I was just basically eating the crush with a light coating of sauce. I love the crust and the slight taste of the sauce I knew I like the sauce. And then had to eat a big gump of cheese of sauce with it.. There was lots of extra cheese on my order and was very tasty. overall I think I would have loved the pizza if it was packaged correctly. I probaly would return if I am in the area but I will tell them to put it in a box even though the box would be an overkill. Maybe they should get small boxes. I hope the owners read this review. read more

This is the best pizza & food place ever! Wonderful pizza, chicken parm, salads, in fact I've never had anything bad! They get so busy at times that you have to wait a bit but it's worth it. read more

I live in Columbus Ohio but when I come to visit My parents we love uptown pizza . The pizza and the salad to the wedding soup is always amazing can't get enough of it . read more

The food here is the best. I travel from south Florida just to get Uptown Pizza. I've never been disappointed with my meal. I often get to-go but have gone in and had Ronnie take care of me. He's the best. You instantly feel like you're his best friend and he's attentive and observant. The prices are really good. The fried cheese is amazing. The pizza is like nothing I can get any where else. The subs are delicious and the salads are so tasty. Everything I've had has been wonderful. It's well worth the drive. read more
