Best overall pick
D'Amico's Pizzeria
Lakeshore Blvd, Eastlake • Family-Run Pizzeria With Classic Pies • Local Favorite
A cozy Eastlake staple turning out generous, well-balanced pies that hit the sweet spot between neighborhood comfort and quality.
D'Amico's feels like the kind of small, independent shop every town hopes to claim, with a crust that’s sturdy enough for toppings but still has a soft chew. The menu leans classic—pepperoni, sausage, and white pies done right—plus a few specialty combinations locals rave about. It’s a go-to for carryout on weeknights, but the friendly dine-in setup makes lingering over a pizza and wings just as appealing.
02
Best for customizable pies
Master Pizza
Vine St Corridor, Eastlake • Cleveland-Style Chain Shop • Best For Families
A polished local chain where you can dial in your crust, sauce, and toppings for a crowd-pleasing Eastlake pizza night.
The Eastlake outpost of Master Pizza brings a dialed-in operation, from quick service to a deep roster of toppings and specialty pies. You can choose from multiple crust styles, which makes it easy to keep both thin-crust fans and pan-pizza loyalists happy in one order. It’s especially handy for family gatherings or game-day spreads when you need a reliable mix of pizzas, subs, and wings without overthinking it.
03
Best for a night out
Pizzazz On the Circle
Historic Downtown Willoughby • Lively Bar-And-Pizza Spot • Best For Groups
A bustling Willoughby hangout where crisp, loaded pizzas share the table with cold drinks and plenty of people-watching.
Just a short hop from Eastlake, Pizzazz On the Circle pairs its pizzas with a full bar and the energy of downtown Willoughby. The crust leans thin and crisp, sturdy under hearty toppings like Italian sausage, banana peppers, and extra cheese. With TVs, a busy bar, and a crowd that spans families early and groups of friends later, it’s a smart pick when you want pizza plus a bit of nightlife.
04
Best for wood-fired pizza
Biga Wood-Fired Pizzeria
Kirtland Town Center • Wood-Fired Neapolitan-Style Pies • Date-Night Pick
A Kirtland gem where blistered, wood-fired pies and thoughtful toppings make pizza feel a little more special.
Biga leans into a Neapolitan-inspired approach, with a soft, chewy crust, charred bubbles, and a light hand on toppings so the dough and sauce can shine. Expect thoughtfully assembled pies—think fresh mozzarella, basil, and seasonal ingredients—alongside a tight menu of salads and small plates. It’s close enough to Eastlake for a quick drive, but the cozy room and wine-friendly menu make it feel like a small escape for date night or a slower-paced dinner.
05
Best old-school slice
Longo's Pizza
Mentor Commercial Strip • Old-School Carryout Pizza Shop • Game-Day Takeout Favorite
A long-running Mentor shop known for hearty, cheesy pies and big orders that can feed a hungry crowd.
Longo’s has the feel of a classic Northeast Ohio pizza joint, from the generous cheese coverage to the slightly thicker crust that stands up to heavy toppings. It’s the sort of place Eastlake locals don’t mind driving to when they need sheet pizzas, party trays, or a couple of loaded pies for a backyard get-together. Call ahead on weekends—regulars know it’s one of the area’s clutch moves for reliable, crowd-pleasing takeout.
