Best overall pick
Jo Jo Carloni's Italian Restaurant & Pizzaria
Downtown Berea • Sit-Down Italian Restaurant And Pizzeria • Destination For Classic Pies And Pastas
A polished but relaxed spot where locals go for hand-tossed pizzas alongside hearty Italian comfort food.
Jo Jo Carloni’s is the kind of place Berea residents recommend without thinking twice when someone asks where to get good pizza. The crust has enough chew to stand up to generous toppings, and the sauce leans flavorful rather than overly sweet. It’s a strong choice when you want a proper sit-down meal, with sharable pies, good red-sauce standards, and a comfortable dining room that works for both date night and family dinners.
02
Go-to delivery choice
Romeo's Pizza
Near Baldwin Wallace University • Casual Carryout And Delivery Shop • Best For Busy Weeknights And Game Days
A reliable Berea standby turning out big-flavor specialty pies that travel well for takeout or delivery.
Romeo’s is a favorite for Baldwin Wallace students and nearby residents who want a hot pizza on the couch without much planning. The crust is thicker and more substantial than your typical chain, making it ideal for loaded toppings and extra cheese. Order one of the specialty combinations when you’re feeding a crowd, or build your own if you like to fine-tune the balance between sauce, cheese, and toppings.
03
Best pizza-and-beer combo
Grindstone Tap House
Front Street District • Lively Taproom With Creative Pizzas • Best For Groups And Live Sports
A bustling tap house where crisp, shareable pizzas pair with a deep draft list and plenty of TVs.
If you want pizza with a side of atmosphere, Grindstone Tap House is where Berea gathers for big games and live music. The menu leans into bar-friendly pies that arrive with nicely browned cheese and toppings meant for sharing over pints. It’s not a traditional pizzeria, but it shines when you’re meeting friends and want something more interesting than basic bar snacks without leaving Front Street.
04
Worth-the-drive thin crust
Capri Pizza
Bagley Road, Middleburg Heights • Old-School Thin-Crust Pizzeria • Regional Favorite For Crispy Pies
A no-nonsense neighborhood shop known for its cracker-thin, crispy crust and well-seasoned sauce.
Just a short drive east on Bagley Road, Capri Pizza is the spot people mention when they talk about classic Cleveland-style thin crust. The pies come out with a satisfyingly crisp base, edge-to-edge cheese, and tidy square cuts that make them easy to pass around a table. It’s an especially good call when you want something lighter and snappier than thicker Berea options, or when you’re grabbing a pizza before a movie or errands in Middleburg Heights.
05
Reliable chain favorite
Marco's Pizza
West Bagley Road Corridor • Carryout And Delivery Chain Pizzeria • Best For Customizable Orders And Big Groups
A familiar name that delivers consistent, customizable pizzas with plenty of topping and crust options.
Marco’s is a practical choice when you need to feed a mix of tastes without overthinking the order. You can choose from multiple crust styles, sauces, and toppings, so everyone from plain-cheese purists to pepperoni fanatics can get what they want. It’s especially handy for youth sports teams, study groups, or any night when convenience and predictability matter as much as the pie itself.
