Best destination-worthy classic
Luigi's Restaurant
Downtown Akron • Historic Italian-American Spot • Old-School Akron Icon
A downtown Akron landmark that serves thick, cheesy pizzas and feels like a step back in time, just a quick drive from Tallmadge.

The pizza is hearty and generously topped, and the cozy, vintage dining room makes it ideal for a relaxed sit-down meal. Head here when you want a classic night out rather than a quick delivery fix.
