Harlow's Pizza

I absolutely love this place and can’t wait to go back and try more pizza! The atmosphere is just what I want. It’s small inside but there’s some front patio seating and in the back. We sat at the bar and ordered right away. I loved that the menu is minimal. We ordered the vegan Cesar salad which was elevated with the chili oil. The salami pizza was phenomenal and we took a margarita pizza home. I would highly recommend Harlow if you’re looking for true wood fired pizza. It’s a laid back, chill place and the staff was awesome!

Pizza was delicious!! Crust was amazing, server was nice and attentive. Only issue is they didn’t clean the tables as they should. Mice poop on all of them, I understand mice are outside, however all tables should be cleaned before customers sit.

Harlow's pizza is a favorite in the Lakewood/Cleveland area. The Neapolitan-style pizza has the perfect dough, soft with a hit of salt. The friendly service, great tunes, and wonderful atmosphere bring me back to this beloved eatery time and time again.

I wanted update by review because I LOVED i this place the first time I went and it just keeps getting better. Not only is this the cutest pizza place in Lakewood, but the pizza is incredible and the staff is equally awesome. I always get the margarita pizza and it is delicious and perfect every single time. They make in house fresh juices that are SO good as well. Try the ginger lime! Small menu, I think there were 4/5 pizzas to choose from (no substitutions) and a limited drink menu. It doesn't matter that it's small though when everything is good! Loved the overall vibe and will definitely be going back.

It's not often that I give 5 stars. This place truly deserves it. What a wonderful little pizza place. The pizza is outstanding!! That of course is their main focus. You won't find any salad or pasta here. Just really delicious pizza. The staff is very friendly and prompt. Everyone had a smile. Music a touch loud, but could still hold a normal conversation. Would definitely recommend!!

We got 3 pizzas (2- dine in and 1- carry out) from Harlow’s and they were all spectacular wood fired pizzas. They are so friendly at Harlow’s and the place is spotless! They have extremely good crust which is super light and scrumptious and the sauce and toppings really shine in these gorgeous perfectly crafted pizzas. They have their house made mixers - lemon basil and ginger lime, that are very light and refreshing and you can have as is or with anything of your choice. We tried there Margherita, Leonardo, and Salami. My favorite was the Leonardo with the fresh arugula, garlic, pistachios, EVOO, etc, just splendid! We’ll be back for more! Great vibes, good music, adorable planters. Such a fun spot during spring and summer and super cozy during fall and winter.

Love that they’re open Sundays! Best wood fired pizza around Cleveland

Cool experience for pizza. I passed this place multiple times and finally stopped in. Very unique place. Super small menu. About 5 pizzas to pick from. We ordered the Bianca and salami. Delicious and flavorful. Very thin crust. So not your typical pizza. Perhaps a more authentic pizza. They had a lime and ginger juice that we put tequila in and it was so tasty and refreshing. Cool vibe. Great service. Will be back.

Great spot for wood fired pizza. The service was great, super nice and friendly, the pizza is amazing and I love the marinated olives.

Local and downright delicious. Harlows is in a great location in downtown Lakewood, walkable with a great ambiance whether you choose to sit outside, in the front or under the trees outback. Simple menu but of so full of flavor, wood fired is the best pizza option there is. The staff was friendly and full of suggestions, as a girl who doesn't eat cheese I appreciate the no nonsense suggestions.

Pros- PIZZA CAME OUT SO FAST!!! Servers were on top of things and kind and we were in and out in like 20 minutes. Very impressive. Lemon basil agua Fresca was very refreshing. Cons- I do think the personal sized pizza is a bit expensive. The taste was decent but nothing crazy. I do love the wood fired crust.

The sauce is my favorite part of any pizza, so the marinara pizza from here is a dream! Crust is perfect and you watch them make it right in front of you. Really fresh and modern atmosphere inside vs some other pizza places. I wish it was bigger just to make it easier to go here on a whim or with groups, but the intimacy is nice.

This was such a cute little spot to stop for dinner -- it's no wonder it was so busy! The ambiance was cute -- there were candles, eclectic glasses, and even artworks. The pizza itself was delicious - the sauce really sets both the tomato sauce and white pizzas apart. Plus everyone was super nice. Best pizza I've had in Cleveland.

Best pizza for the style in town, hands down. Great ambience, it's my go to. Just wish I lived closer. The quality is top tier, other shops in the same category do not have the same dough/flour quality. I respect the simple menu....you know whatever is on there they do very well.

Great spot to have a delicious pizza and great atmosphere as well. The vibe is great and their thin crust pizzas as delicious! Full of flavor and delicious although you may need several ones to fill all the cravings because they are very addictive and it can get a bit pricey

It seems like there are more and more brick oven pizzerias popping up in the Cleveland area. I first became hip to this charming Lakewood establishment after reading an online article referencing the best pizza shops. So, I decided to test the waters and dive in. Harlows is located along Madison Ave in a major Lakewood business district. It's easy to find; however, parking in front can be tricky, so you may have to find a spot on the nearest side street. I walked in and sat down at the bar. The interior is unique, with a vintage, yet rustic feel that incorporates bright colors and a retractable front window that allows a more open-air setting. The custom made Italian brick oven provided a picturesque backdrop for a dining experience. The menu consists of numerous pies with a variety of toppings; however, they do not allow you to customize pies - they are made to order as they appear on the menu. Desiring simplicity, I went with a timeless classic - margherita! I watched as the fresh dough was tossed, topped with sauce and mozzerella, before sliding into the oven. After about a two minutes, it was hot and ready. The pizza was what I expected; a savory, light, and deliciously satisfying exhibit of culinary excellence! The crust was crispy, not caked in grease, and the cheese was not oozing off the pie, but rather evenly distributed. Pizza Neapolitano!

Neapolitan style pizza- very thin crust. Pizzas come out in about 5 minutes. The salami pizza was excellent. Price point a bit on the higher side (salami pizza $18). They have 6 pizzas, don't do substitutions, and don't have other food. I like this simple menu, but it's worth knowing that you won't get several options / topping choices. Small, homey ambience. Very friendly staff. The place reminds me of a limited option Il Rione but more casual and with speedy service. I'll definitely be back!

A pizza spot. Trendy but very low key. I went with a friend and we got the Leonardo, a white pizza with pistachios and the classic margherita. The dough was so chewy and fresh. Is dough everything when it comes to pizza? We both had glasses of truffle hunter wine. Now I will be on the search to find that to have a bottle of it at home. I did start with the aqua Fresca with gin. It was a lemon basil, but there was no basil. So I was meh on that. But then I made the right choice, and switched to red wine with my pizza! We sat outside, it was perfect out, at a bench, dining hall sort of seating. The plants all around give the outside a sort of oasis vibe and I would recommend going out there if it's nice enough.

a small but cozy pizza spot in Lakewood. The inside is very small with limited seating and they don't take reservations so there is usually a short wait. We waited about 20 minutes but the staff was super friendly and we were able to order drinks while we waited. The pizza was delicious and everything tasted fresh, but it is kind of pricey ($16-21 per pie) for the size. They have a relatively simple menu but have some creative toppings. My favorite was the Leonardo which had pistachios on it. They are also popular for their agua frescos which can be ordered with or without alcohol. I opted for wine but the lemon basil agua fresco looked delicious!

Harlow's is a very small, cute pizza place in Lakewood. Fun fact: did you know this building was moved from a separate location which is why it looks very different from the surrounding buildings? The overall restaurant gives a very southwestern vibe and from what I could see the small patio in the back looks very cute. The food options are very simple but very good. I ordered the Bianca pizza since I love a good white pizza. The pizza was flavorful and not too greasy. I hope to try either the Quattro Formaggi or Leonardo pizza during our next visit. We walked to the restaurant from our house so I can't comment too much on parking but there was plentiful street parking in the surrounding side streets.

This is hands down my favorite wood oven fired pizza. Pros: The vibe is great. Staff is friendly and attentive. I like to sit at the bar and watch all the action. They also have a cool outdoor patio on nice days. The pizza is fantastic. They only have 4 or 5 options and typically only one with meat. It is definitely worth going with 4 people to try many pies. The margarita and salame are my two favorites. Peroni beer and interesting cocktails. I always find something I like to drink there. Cons: It's a little pricy but in my opinion worth it Limited non-pizza menu (it's a small open kitchen)

Harlow's offers a small and very particular selection of pizzas (only 6 choices w no substitutions or additions) but you're sure to find something that hits the spot if you're craving a good ol' authentic Neapolitan pie. Standout was the Leonardo - unique combo of arugula, juicy sweet grape tomatoes and pistachios tied together deliciously with their garlicky white sauce ~ so flavorful and fresh tasting! We also tried the Salami bc it was their only non-veggie pizza - decent red sauce and chili spice level but any flavor combo they might've been aiming for was unfortunately overpowered by the too salty salami :/ hope they adjust or introduce a better meat option Came on a Friday night just before the dinner rush and got seated in under 20 min at the bar, right in front of the wood stove oven where we could watch the pizza dough being rolled and popped in. Cozy and intimate yet wholesome vibes that make this place both family-friendly and good for date night, though keep in mind that group seating can be fairly limited.

I remember when Harlow's opened about a year and a half ago in Lakewood. Everyone was raving about it. I'm so glad that I finally visited in January 2020 Absolutely delicious and light pizzas. See my below photos. PIZZAS -- My friend Ami and I ordered 2 different pizzas to share. My favourite was the BIANCA pizza ($13) which is a meatleas white pizza that has no tomato sauce. It comes with fresh basil, garlic, sea salt, extra virgin olive oil and mozzarella cheese. The other pizza we bought was the SALAMI pizza ($15) which has more flavour than the Bianca pizza. The salami pizza comes with salami, mozzarella cheese, genoa salami, calabrian chili, and tomatoes. The salami tasted good but it was very salty. I'll definitely be back to try other pizzas. DRINKS -- They have an assortment of beer, wine, liquor, soda, and cocktails. My friend ordered the Aqua Fresca with Tito's vodka. I hardly drink alcohol so I got the Aqua Fresca without alcohol and the flavour was ginger lime. My drink was absolutely refreshing but it was pricey at $4 for a small cup. My friend's drink costs $8. SERVICE -- We arrived on a Saturday night and had to wait abbout 15 minutes for a seat. A bar seat opened up soon so we sat there. I enjoyed seating at the bar because I could watch the pizzas being made in the brick oven. The young man who helped us at the bar was friendly and attentive. INSIDE -- This restaurant is small and they do not take reservations so I recommend arriving early. PARKING -- On the street only. Overall, I love that Harlow's takes pride in delivering the best pizzas to their customers. They only have 6 pizzas on their menu so they really work on toning their craft. I can't wait to visit in the summer so I can seat outside at their cute patio. **** - 11/200 total reviews in 2020 - 387 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 3 February 2020

Pretty good pizza joint located in Lakewood. My brother in law and I headed here on a Friday evening during COVID. They weren't allowing dine in seating so we got two pies to go. The interior looked pretty cool and made me feel like I'd like to go here and dine in after the pandemic. I got the marinara pizza. One thing I wasn't crazy about is that they have 6 pizzas on the menu and then they don't want you to add anything or substitute. So it's hard to get the exact pizza you want with such limited offerings. The pies are good but I asked for extra sauce and they didn't really give me much extra (which unfortunately for me is a game changer because I love sauce so much). So far, I'm sticking to a solid three, but like I said, I'd like to try it out for dine-in after COVID settles.

Pretty decent Neapolitan style pizza, but $18 for a simple Margherita is borderline criminal. Especially when you see that is was only $13 two years ago. I would understand if you were paying for ambiance, but it's a casual spot (which I enjoy more tbh) and nothing fancy. We got the Leonardo and Margherita and both were good but not $20 each good

Yum! Cute spot with wood fired pizzas. The service (so fast!) and food (so fresh!) were both outstanding! The pizza reminded me of Il Rione (another stand out pizza spot in Cle). We got the salami pizza to share for the two of us. Honestly, I could probably eat one of these on my own if I was super hungry lol. Can't wait to go back and try another pizza

We ordered two pizzas - Margherita and Leonardo. Both were simply delicious . Leonardo come with pistachio, tomato and arugula. Highly recommend it

Ok pizza crust was good but pizzas are very small, kinda pricey and the sauce tastes like canned tomato with no seasoning- not even any salt. Served rushed us out before we even finished our pizzas. Skip this place.

If you've been lucky enough to take a trip across the ocean and had the opportunity to explore Italy, you've inevitably tasted an authentic Italian pie. Dining at Harlow's you may not see the Trevi Fountain or the Colosseum, but you'll feel as if you were right back in Italy when you taste the pizza! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the candlelit tables and limited number of seats make this place quite intimate. The menu is very basic, and only offers a few variations of pizza, but trust me, it's all that you need. We visited in the winter, but I've heard the summer offers a wonderful experience with the outdoor patio space. I'm looking forward to coming back and checking this place out with the warmer weather.!

I'm not sure what I'm obsessed with more: * the pizza--mouthwatering deliciousness; I strongly recommend the Salami if you like a little spice with your za. * the space--you'll snag more Instagram-worthy pics than your feed can handle. * the staff--it's owned and operated by one of the nicest and coolest families in Lakewood (John works the oven and Emily works the bar). Either way, if you like any of these things (pizza, drinks, unique spaces, good people), you should definitely check out Harlow's sooner rather than later. PS: The back patio in the summer is a slice of heaven. Get ready to be transported to a Neapolitan oasis.

The Bianca pizza was delicious and the basil on it was fresh and flavorful. I had a grapefruit lime aqua fresca with tequila and I highly recommend it! The others in my party had the margherita, salami, and Leonardo pizzas and they were all incredible as well. My only concern with the restaurant is the very limited seating and it is a bit pricey overall ($17 for a 12" pizza with little more than cheese and olive oil) so I probably would not return for these reasons. Asked for the checks to be separate but only received one, the waitress left before we realized and it was too busy to wait for her to come back to correct it. Overall - satisfied with the food and drink though!

We ended up coming here on a whim, the pictures on Google looked really great. We arrived and there was a short wait, around 40 minutes. The hostess was very nice and pretty accurate on her wait time guesstimate. We were seated at the bar, and able to order quickly. The hostess checked on us again to ensure we had enough room and were comfortable. The atmosphere was unique. The background music was extremely loud, the couple next to us was almost yelling to carry on their conversation. The pizzas that were coming out of the oven looked and smelled amazing! We ordered the margherita pizza. We were definitely disappointed when our pizza looked soggy, unlike most of what was being served. It was very "wet", which took away from the pizza, but it was flavorful! We would come back to give it a second chance.

Love Harlow's. Great pizza, great staff, delicious homemade agua frescas! Love the vibe both inside and the patio, always playing good music. Recently rented it out for a shower and I would highly recommend!

Called in and got a couple of Margherita pizzas which both tasted pretty good. The only minor change I would've preferred would be for the maker to have gone heavier on the basil leaves and lighter on the sea salt. Lastly, they need to update their website menu prices as it's listed as $15 per Margherita but when I was rung up the cashier informed me that they were now $17 (not a huge jump considering inflation but still falsely advertised on their official webpage).

Leonardo Pizza is probably the best pizza in Cleveland. Very cute, clean and friendly place. Workers work hard and are very nice. A+++ all the way.

I am genuinely forever confused by this place. The pizza is DELICIOUS, seriously so good. But, is small and leaves me hungry still. I'd say it would be a better lunch spot, but they are not open for lunch. I would say with some appetizers, that would fill you up, but they do not serve apps. Idk if I'm just a fatty or what, but definitely don't come to this place hungry. It's an expensive "dinner" that will leave you hungry.

Didn't care for their pizza, the middle was almost uncooked and very thin.. the sauce wasn't all that great either. Overall they really need to improve their pizzas because of the competition.

So fabulous! Don't have a rsvp but they asked if we would sit in the alley... perfect people watching, conversation, and service!!! Wine and friendship with the smell of pizza!!!!

It's hard to find a dislike about a place this awesome. From the outside it seemed like this place was going to be too cool/trendy, but after taking one step inside I was in love. A super quaint interior and a small patio with open seating options make for a great place. The thing is the pizza was even cooler and more amazing than the vibe. After eating 3 slices of the Margherita pizza I felt the perfect amount of full. The crust was so light leaving me not too full or hungry...like baby bear...just right. 10/10 going back again!!

As soon as you open the door to this restaurant, your senses are hugged by the warm smell of fresh dough and basil . Small restaurant and limited seating, but it's

I'm going to be honest. I didn't eat at Harlows, because I left before I ordered. Cutesy decor, very attentive service. I'm sure the pizza is good too. Here's my issue. There's like four picnic tables in the place. I don't want to eat at a picnic table. Then I get the menu and the pizzas are all 12" and the prices are like $18-21 a pizza. Then the menu states no changes to the pizzas. I'm sorry, but I feel like that is incredibly pretentious. The perfect pizza isn't what Harlow says it is, it's what I say it is. For that price I want to be comfortable and I want the pizza the way "I" want it. Sorry. I don't feel right giving less stars since I didn't try the pizza but if I had, it would have likely been a lower review.

We checked out Harlow's on a whim and were taken with not only the aesthetic but also (and importantly) the quality and simplicity of the food offered. We ordered and ate a Margherita pizza at the bar and watched the chef prepare and cook only feet away from us. The feel of Harlow's is, I think, a mix of Southwest and 80s dream pop (with an almost life-size poster of Skid Row staring at you while you pee). We didn't order any drinks this time around except a Topo Chico that was served with a lime wedge, but the options looked appealing. We'll definitely return to try some of the other pizzas and drinks.

This place is such a cute date spot. The patio is probably the nicest I've seen in Cleveland - from the adorable lantern and Christmas lights, to the vines snaking up the exposed brick, you will feel the coziness of this place immediately! Our server was super sweet and helpful. The pizza was absolutely delicious. I ordered the Leonardo and it was flavorful and full of simple, fresh ingredients. I also loved the Aperol Spritz I ordered! Yum! This place is tiny and gets crowded easily on a weekend night, so I would recommend hitting this place on a weekday. You must sit out on the patio for the best experience! The menu is super limited and there are no substitutions on any of the pizzas. This place is not an ideal choice for anyone with allergies or any picky eaters. There is also typically a pretty long wait to order on the weekend and the place can become crowded.

LOVE this place! First time there. The menu is small: six pizzas options, plus drinks. But the pizza was fantastic. So, so fresh. The tomato sauce tasted like the tomatoes had literally just been picked. The staff could not have been nicer. We didn't have a reservation but they managed to seat us. And the pizzas? Seven minutes from order to table. And kudos for the excellent safety precautions - no paper menus (just look on their website) and patrons' temperatures are taken when entering. And did I mention the cute patio? Everyone I was having fun in this little slice of heaven.

I liked the margherita. The aperol spritz grapefruit was refreshing as well. They are two base flavors they seem to switch out then you add your liquor of choice

I happened to be going to a Yelp event and found that I had just enough time to grab something quick to eat. I searched on Yelp and found Harlow's. I know pizza usually takes time to make so this was a risky dinner choice. I was shocked when my made-to-order pizza was ready in less than 10 minutes. The restaurant is little but very much geared towards Millennials. Its minimalistic decorations and muted colors were very appealing to me. There was a bar that you could sit at and eat as well as a few other tables inside. The menu was that of a typical pizza joint. The pizzas are VERY Instagramable. I ordered the Margharita pizza, which was good but was a bit too wet for my liking. This pizza had some SERIOUS flop to it. I'll be back to try something else, soon.

The pizza was delish! Very simply made but with excellent ingredients and taste. This is not cheap pizza, but excellent pizza, so don't be surprised to pay $16 for a simple pie. However, based on all the order pick ups going on while we dined in that is not a setback. We ate in front patio. Service was also excellent and our pue was one in literally 10 minutes. Liked the ability to get wine by bottle. Do try! Casual but very romantic and chic.

Super friendly staff , I mean I can't say how awesomely friendly they are . I walked in here in the middle of a polar vortex winter storm and they were very welcoming and kind. The pizzas were phenomenal. Probably the best pie in Lakewood . I would absolutely come back. I recommend take out since the space is so small and there's only street parking out there but still ..I just have to come back now to try the remaining pizzas on the menu

I'll admit when I first walked in, I was a little worried it was going to be a trendy pizza place where the actual pizza quality was lacking. Luckily I was wrong, and the pizza was very good! We came on a Saturday night around 6/6:30 and waited about 15 minutes. The hostess was very nice and kept us informed on our wait. We were able to grab drinks, but it's a pretty small space so not a lot of room to stand around. There's a couple tables, and the rest of the seating is at the bar. It looks like they have a nice patio and can seat more during the warmer months. I think they only take reservations for groups over 6. Ordering is straightforward because the menu is very limited and only has pizzas and drinks, no sides, salads, or apps. We had the salami and Leonardo pizzas and both were good, but the Leonardo was amazing. Two pizzas for two people, and we didn't leave a slice behind!

High-quality great pizzas! great service! great cocktails! Nice ambience as well! Had Margarita, and white pizza

I wish I could give 6 stars. Every single pizza here is SO delicious! I love that it's made fresh right in their exposed kitchen so you can watch the awesome process. You can tell the owners really care about the quality and service they provide. Also they have the friendliest staff! My favorite pizzas are the Marinara Pizza and Leonardo Pizza but you have to try everything at least once!

Delicious pizza. Honestly I think they're more of a personal pizza if you're hungry haha. They have a few diff options but they are always good. Quick service. The restaurant is small but it's cute and has outdoor patio too

The Ambiance was so cute, cozy and aesthetically pleasing. The Pizza was bomb. It was so tasty. I highly recommend and can't wait to go back. The restaurant is smaller in size but service was quick.

This place came highly recommended so I am as very excited to have their pizza. I was disappointed with the overall dining experience. They have limited drinks options. After taking our drink order, since they only have one pizza oven, the waitress comes back about 20 minutes later for our food order as they don't take the food order until they can put your pizzas into the oven. The pizza itself was thin crust and very limp. It is not a place I would return to. The waitress was phenomenal so service gets an A+

Soooo why has it taken so long to check this place out? Everything from the decor, to the story and best of all the pizza, is absolutely amazing. This husband and wife duo really took the time and money to invest in something great that shows pride. Upon entering, on a nice warm evening - you'll see a stack of sliding windows opened for a outside/inside feel. The bar fits about 10-12 patrons and there is picnic style tables. Though the place is small, it's so clean and minimal. The southwestern decor and vibes from the coral walls and aqua knock knacks gives you comfort and calmness. There is also a patio in the back that I can't wait to check out sometime! Both times we have been we have sat at the bar. The menu is minimal and they ask for no substitutions. I ordered the lemon basil Agua Fresca with booze(vodka) and it was so refreshing and delicious! The wood fired pizzas - the best wood fired pizzas I have ever had. The cook does the dough and everything by hand. It's so fresh and so delish. I have tried the margherita, salami and Leonardo. All really really good! But the salami takes the cake so far! Can't wait to come back and try the next pizza!

Best pizza I've had in Cleveland. The environment and ambiance are spectacular. I was greeted within my first step. The menu is simple and easy. Pizza, beer, cocktails. I sat at the corner of the bar with the wood fire oven to my left, and the bay windows open on my right. The pizza is terrific. The sauce is deep and complex, the ingredients that follow on my Margherita were equal in both quality and quantity to compliment that sauce. The dough is airy and bouncy, with a slight char from the oven. Beautifully done. IG; @must_eatwell

I recently tried this place with my sister and ended up loving their patio! The pizza and cocktail I ordered were also really great. Their menu is simple and maybe a tad limited, but I don't think that's a negative. I can't wait to go back for more.
