“ Eat here! Delicious pies and friendly people. Tiny little place, but that doesn't matter at all! ”
“ I'm so happy I finally tried Citizen pie! This was a convenient location to meet up with friends over the weekend. There was ample street parking later on Saturday afternoon. It was a bit of a squeeze inside since the seating is limited. But, we also met some friendly people who helped us decide on our order. The staff were patient and welcoming as well. I tried the puttanesca while friends had the south collinwood and smoked pepperoni respectively. The pizza could be shared with a salad for light lunch but I was on my own with my anchovies. And I am really glad I stuck to my resolve on that one because it was delicious! I was doing the happy food dance in my chair- subtly of course but dancing. The south collinwood was delicious to sample and the pepperoni was also appreciated. Across the board- the crust was perfect. We topped the meal off with some Saturday afternoon shots and had a great visit all in all. Can't wait to go back. ”
“ Cozy location with nice outside seating. Ordered over the phone and came it to pick it up. Service was great and food was ready in about 15 mins. We order two pizza and they were fantastic. Full of flavor and nice crust. We tried the Marinara with the arugula topping and it did not disappoint! We added sausage to the Smoked Pepperoni pizza and it stole the show. I do have to say they do not have a good ranch option but no one can nail all the hot buttons. Will definitely be back! ”
“ My son just moved to Cleveland to attend CWRU. The first thing we always look for in a new city is great pizza. Because, yes, I am a total pizza snob. So far, I've tried 4 different spots: 2 in little Italy; Citizen Pie downtown, and now this Citizen Pie. The 2 in little Italy weren't my thing... crust was too thick although the sauce at one bakery was good and the toppings at a traditional Italian restaurant were good. Citizen Pie downtown has a completely different approach to pizza than this location, and it was really darn good, but that's another review. I ordered a Margherita to be delivered to my hotel by campus. It arrived quickly and still quite warm. I opened the box, and my heart leaped with joy... traditional neopolitan style pizza. Light airy crust with just the right amount of sauce and cheese. Looks great... let's taste it. The pizza was perfect. The crust was light and airy with just the right bite and tear. The sauce was fresh and tasty and applied generously but not in a way that overwhelmed the pizza. The cheese was also liberally applied but not overdone. And it was fresh!... not ugly little strands of greasy cheese gratings that ruin the flavor of so many commercial pizzas. You can tell they value their craft at Citizen Pie. This will definitely be my go-to when I am visiting my son. Two pieces filled me up and left me feeling good about my meal and ready to get out and walk the city. This is what I want from a good pizza... not that feeling like I overdid it that comes after eating bread-heavy thick-crusted pizzas with no air or lightness to them. Thank you, Citizen Pie, for giving me not one, but two, great places to satisfy my pizza cravings in Cleveland. ”
“ Thanks to Cleveland Pizza Week, I was able to visit Citizen Pie for the first time! For $9 (normally $14, which I think is way too expensive), I ordered the smoked pepperoni pizza to go. What really made this place unique was how FAST they make the pizza! In just 90 SECONDS, it is all ready to go! There *is* seating if you would like to enjoy your pizza there, but there is not much of it. Maybe enough for one of two families. I ended up eating my pizza at home. If you're a fatty like me, this is a personal pizza but as it is 10 inches, it is probably meant to be shared amongst two people haha! As you can see in the picture, there is a ton of cheese but not a great distribution of those cute, little pepperoni. Since these are cooked so fast, the bread is bubbly and slightly burnt but not charred in excess. I was hoping for more of a taste to the bread but it wasn't that flavorful, unfortunately. The cheese to sauce ratio was perfect. No notes there. Overall, I'm glad I got to try their pizza at a discount. I am never ever in that area of town and was surprised at how much there is to do in those couple of blocks! Next time I stop by, I'll probably get a more unique pizza (the Calabrese option looks baller!) and hope for a better distribution of toppings. ”
“ I loved the pie I got here, great pizza at a great price. This review will be short and sweet. I ordered the New Yorker small pizza for carry out and it was only $11. They even threw in a side of pizza sauce for dipping for free, which I was fine paying for. Essentially, the New Yorker is a margarita with more cheese. This place is a small shop with great, freshly made pizza. Parking wasn't an issue like I thought it might be, parallel parking was ample right in front of the place. ”
“ Stopped in to Citizen Pie for a takeout pizza lunch on the beach. Ordering online was simple, and my pizza was ready for pickup from friendly servers within fifteen minutes. The dough is really amazing here; it's got large pillowy air pockets and a great chew to it. I had a margherita pizza, which had a really balanced tomato sauce, sweet cheese, and fragrant basil. I definitely plan to be back in the future! ”
“ It was starting to rain in Cle so we had the privilege of being the only people in the establishment. Quick wood fired pizza was delicious and fun to watch the dough being tossed. Some canned beers washed down the deliciousness. One pizza split between the 2 of us was the perfect amount. Highly recommend for lunch or dinner! ”
“ Found this place while looking for good pizza places from the one bite app. We don't often try pizza that's not New york style, but the whole family really liked this place. The pizza was fluffy and crunchy at the same time, which always makes pizza good, unless it's thin crust. Th3 pepperonis were awesome and were a little spicy. The kids always get cheese, and we had no complaints about that. If we ever get back to Cleveland, we will be earing here again. Give it a try. ”
