The food was really good! The woman with long hair in the front and the blond hair man (didn't get their names) were so so lovely and nice. The ambient was really good too. I would definitely recommend. Loved it!!!!

One of the best pizza places in Cleveland I think! Really great medium-thickness pies, and the cheesy garlic bread is so good. I didn't like how thick the pepperoni was but that's just my personal preference. Located in a nice neighborhood and theres usually street parking available near the store. The staff are really friendly as well!

This is an excellent version of a little neighborhood pizza parlor. The bar looks great, the tables out of a picture postcard. I am not a fan of the sausage they use, which is the reason for missing 5 stars. Every other benchmark is met though. The rest of the pizza ingredients are spot on, the staff was perfect. I'll bring my family there sometime, I'll just go with an alternate to the sausage.

We love trying pizza at different places around the city. We came here for pizza week and it was perfect in every way. The staff was really friendly and the pizza was awesome. It tasted very homemade and the crust was cooked just right. We will definitely be back.

Haven't had Ohio City pizza in over 5 years. The last time I had it , it was delicious. Decided to give it a try tonight. Welp disgusting. At first look I didn't think it was even a pizzaeria made pizza. Looked like a frozen pizza reheated. No sauce on it and a very light sprinkle of onions. Worse part my husband gave a tip. My tip is to wait another 7 years and try again.

Clean neat and the staff is so friendly, racism is zero, very cozy place, I would recommend it as a second date restaurant, the pizza is great but, they should put more quantity of the toppings... the songs are great and this place will be my destination when I wanna relax....

Hmmm, I'm conflicted. The service and ambiance were stellar! Staff was wonderful and attentive. The restaurant looked like a cute little Italian restaurant. The conflict I had was the food. Very bland sauce and the meatballs had an off taste I could not get past. I had the pasta. The cause this little restaurant stands for is wonderful but the pasta. I Can not speak to the pizza, may be a better choice. It looked good. All this and I think I have to give staff a 5, ambiance a 4 and 3 for the food is really pushing it for me. Again great cause. I really look at the reviews, ok didn't this time, so I have to give it a 3.

The only thing better than a really good pizza is a really good pizza that supports a good cause. With Cleveland Scene's Pizza Week going on I had tried a couple of upscale Margherita pizzas and I really wanted a traditional Italian American pizza; so in looking at the list of shops available I have been meaning to try Ohio City Pizzeria. Located on Lorain Avenue in Ohio City it was a quick drive from work downtown and there is plenty of street parking available. Ohio City Pizzeria is a small shop which has been around for a long time; it was acquired by the West Side Catholic Center. In partnership with Edwins they use Ohio City Pizzeria as to act as a training center to help people develop culinary skills and succeed in moving from poverty to full time employment at other restaurants. The actual shop is very traditional, black and white tile floor, green walls, white tin ceiling, checkerboard tablecloths and some Cleveland photos. There are 5-6 tables and a small 4 seat bar. Everything is clean and tidy. The bar is well stocked with 4 beer taps. The menu is compact with pizzas and salads, appetizers and a couple of pasta dishes. For Pizza Week they were offering a 12" cheese or pepperoni pizza; I of course picked the cheese pizza and ordered the $2 Peroni draft beer special. The Peroni was excellent, a light clean draft that was light, smooth and easy to drink; a great way to start a meal and a nice compliment to the pizza. The pizza came out in about 10-15 minutes, perfectly cooked. The pizza is a classic, just what I was looking for. The crust is medium thick nicely toasted on the outside, soft on the inside with a nice flavor. The sauce is a balance of sweet and tangy. The cheese had a mild smokey flavor, just the right coverage and thoroughly cooked. Overall the pizza was excellent with a nice balance between all the elements, baked perfectly and very tasty. The service was excellent, the manager was also the server and the bartender; she was bubbly, upbeat and knowledgeable. While the shop seemed a bit understaffed they worked hard and kept up with the tables and the takeout orders. I really liked my visit to Ohio City Pizzeria, they are an old school place that is serving really great pizza. While I usually find some little issues or nits, this time there was absolutely nothing to criticize. Add in that they are supporting a good cause and helping people there are plenty of reasons to give them a try.

Perfect Friday Night Pizzeria! Ohio City offers take out or dine in with a full bar and the perfect salads to add to your pizza needs. My husband and I opted for dining in, complete with wine. We were greeted warmly by the staff and our service was impeccable. Sure it's a local pizza place on Lorain but the service really is that good. We opted for salads, pasta, pizza and garlic knots that are finger licking good. As a vegetarian the staff went above to make sure my meal didn't contain cheese and was meat free. Ohio City is simple, fresh and delicious. The amount of pick up and delivery business was nonstop during our meal, the kitchen never skipped a beat. Of note, the menu in house is a bit different than viewed online.

My family and I are visiting Cleveland for the first time and we were craving pizza. We saw this had great reviews so we pulled up. It was delicious and great pricing. For the adults: the Riesling wine was delicious and from Germany' I highly suggest that wine. =)

Take during Q-Life...trying this spot for the first time. They have a one-year anniversary special going on currently, where you can pick from a selection of items (3 in total) for $30. Not everything on the list seems like a good deal, so I tried to load up on items that made that total worthwhile. We selected 10 wings (buffalo style), a meatball sub and a 12" sausage pizza. Their expected timing was spot on...as I popped in to the store to gather my order they were just finishing up. After gathering some blue cheese dressing for my wings, I was on my way home with a bounty of hot food for dinner! The sausage pizza was fairly tasty; the cheese, meats and crust (slightly thicker than a thin-crust pie and a bit chewy) were good but the sauce lacked something...like maybe a tang to it with vinegar? We really had trouble trying to determine what was so slight off about it. The meatball sub was just okay, not very large as the few meatballs atop the hoagie roll were sliced thin and spread out in the sandwich making for mostly bready bites; same marinara-style sauce as on the pizza. The buffalo wings were pretty zippy and spicy, they seemed more baked than fried but the meat within was juicy and tasty. Not sure what to think...the meal was decent enough, but unsure whether it warrants a repeat visit or not. We'll see after tonight leftovers...

The pizza is normal. I got it last week for Cleveland Pizza Week. It was $8 for a small cheese pizza. I thought the pizza itself tasted like a pretty generic Greek pizza place. It was greasy and soft. It had a lot of cheese. The sauce had flavor, but it wasn't amazing. Actually, it tastes similar to Edison's in Tremont. Kiki got a vegan cheese pizza, which seemed like the same thing I got except with a half pound of Daiya piled on top. When she first opened the box to show me what it looked like, my heart skipped a beat. It looked Aldi's frozen pizza. When she showed me the other box, I was relieved to see the familiar tones of caramelized cow milk cheese. She liked it, but I swear there's got to be a better way to make a vegan pizza. I remember hearing about this place when they opened (reopened?), and I know they had or have a relationship with Brandon Chrostowski from Edwins. I guess I imagined it to be really good, but it's just a regular pizza place. There's something nice about that--that's it's not fancy. I'm glad I got to experience it, and I would recommend it if in the area. I'm not sure if they sell slices, but it would probably be a great slice place for lunch. Two slices and a can of coke for $5. That would be amazing.

My favorite things about Ohio city pizzeria: The magic sauce on the ravioli- it's a rose sauce and I want them to sell jars it's that good Fresh ingredients on the pizza Keeping things interesting I tried out the spaghetti pizza and it was at better than I could have imagined

Peter L.

Yelp
Solid local pizza place. I agree with the other reviews definitely order extra sauce, there's not enough on the pizza. Their cheesy garlic bread is good but I wish it was cut into bigger pieces.

Love there specialty pizzas. Service is excellent, very cozy place to dine in. One of my local favorites.

Ordered pepperoni pizza - got a dry pepperoni pizza, decent cheese, the sauce was awful - way too much oregano and too sweet - not a good combo - ate mostly 2 slices and tossed the rest since is was just terrible.

Ross L.

Yelp
Maybe it was an off night... Ordered on a Saturday evening (it happened to be the day before they were closing down for 2 weeks) the pizza was not even ok for us. To start the massive onion flavor & chunks of onions in the sauce was a total turn off & the crust was blah. We ordered a large with the expectation of doing leftovers the next day. We threw away about half a pizza which we never do. Then the salad was totally wrong. Ordered the tossed Italian salad which should have been romaine lettuce & no tomatoes & I think they gave us their house salad with regular lettuce & a bunch of small cherry tomatoes - didn't even eat any of it. The only saving grace were the garlic knots which they substituted for the garlic bread we ordered. Unless they change their pizza sauce recipe, I can't say we'll return.

This is a fabulous pizza joint in Ohio City with a variety of great options! The pizza is pan pizza style. We have had their pizza two times, once ordering some of their fun options and another time building our own pizza. Their pizza is not greasy and the crust is done perfect. Highly recommend for pan pizza

I haven't been here in a few years and wanted to check it out after the reopening. It has a super comfortable, classic feel. The little bar at the back is very charming and inviting. The menu isn't huge, but it's bigger than I expected for some reason. My friend and I split a 12" veggie pizza and the cheese ravioli. The pizza was just loaded with veggies, and the crust was pretty amazing (which can be hard to find); the ravioli was absolutely delicious: Ohio City pasta with a truffle rose sauce. We also split a bottle of a really great Italian red of which the mark up was minimal (my friend looked it up because we loved it and it was inexpensive)(I can't remember the name of it because honestly... we split two bottles‍). Overall I totally recommend this place for a low key date or chill hangout with friends. Our sweet server even showed us a private little dining room in the back you can reserve!

Yelp
I was hoping I would really like this place because it is right around the corner, and I like their business model. Unfortunately I couldn't stand the sauce on the pizza. Far too sweet! The service was nice, I carried out, and the fellow at the counter was friendly and attentive as I waited for the order. I may go back to try some of the non pizza menu items

Tessa X.

Yelp
I tried ordering the white pizza and it was just bad. The crust was completely different than their other pizzas we've tried and there was no "white sauce" as advertised. No flavor and dry chicken. We will ask about this the next time we come in to see if it was a fluke - but I would recommend ordering something else!

Dani S.

Yelp
The food was very good. Staff was super friendly! Restaurant was comfortable and cozy.

I give 4 stars primarily for the service which is very good and the people working there are very nice. I had the white chicken pizza it was ok. It is convenient to where I live as well. I'll be back!

Figured we would give it a try. Clean establishment. While waiting saw a number of to go orders being picked up. We ordered a large pepperoni pizza. The pepperoni was thick! Sauce a little on the sweet side and the crust was too thick and undercooked. I'll give it two stars and will try again down the road.

Yelp
First of all-I love the mission of this place! I checked out the menu online before going and I was so excited...so many good things on the menu! We decided to go with a Caesar salad and 2 small pizzas. I would not order the salad again...too steep of a price for basically a side salad ($9). The 2 small pizzas were enough for 2 people and to take home a few slices! I love the crust on the pizza..it was so crispy and delicious. It is also super yummy cold...so make sure you order extra! I can't wait to go back and try some of the pasta dishes. The service is great. They had (what seemed like) 3 waitresses working and they all helped out with each table...it was a great atmosphere. I will be back!

Slammed during pizza week and they were giving everyone waiting a free drink. And the pizza was great! Wonderful local business we should be supporting!

I've lived in OC for what, 10 years and for some reason I had a bad impression of OCP. Stopped there today to pick up a pie and am delighted! It's got a nice tasting sauce, it's loaded with cheese and the crust is crispy buttery goodness! We ordered a large sausage, mushroom and when I went to pick it up (30m), it was ready for me and I thought to myself I need to check them out for some other menu items.

Love the place, love the food! A great spot for date night, but also great for a family. The pizza was really good - I really liked the sauce - and the salads were delicious, too. Looking forward to going back.

I had my best Hawaiian pizza in this place. It turned out fine with cherry juice. It does taste a bit sweet, but I'm a fan. My boy loved it too.

New ownership as of July 2019, please ignore old reviews! My boyfriend and I walked in around 8pm on a Friday and were greeted and sat immediately. We split a delicious bottle of red wine, salad, and a veggie pizza (we are vegetarian). The pizza was amazing!! Sauce had a touch of sweetness to it which we really loved. I plan to come back and bring my mom since she's a pizza maniac. Highly recommend!

I used to like their pizzas, but twice already I couldn't get in! First time, I get a rude employee saying that we aren't open! And tonight I rang the doorbell twice and I was ignored! And another thing...why did you stop serving bacon on pizzas?

Karissa K.

I have been using Yelp for probably 6(?) years now regularly and this is the first time I've ever felt truly compelled to actually write a review. This food is garbage. The pizza had way too much cheese, soggy bread, soggy toppings. Bruschetta had so much onion and garlic was inedible and also soggy of course. Literally ill after this meal. A hundred other pizza places in the area you can have a better meal. I hope this review can save even just one other person from eating here.

Willainia S.

Yelp
I was pretty excited to try a new pizza spot for my during the Grammy's cuisine. I place the order over the phone and was given a pick up time of 35 minutes. I picked my pizza up and it was suppose to have extra sauce and be well done. I had to use my own pizza sauce to make up for the dry pizza. In a pinch the pizza is OK but if you are looking for something a little above average....skip it.

Brooke M.

This is literally my favorite pizza in the entire world (and I've been to Italy and had pizza there). Everything is perfection, not to mention the business as a whole supports an amazing cause. This is absolutely my go-to pizza place.

Erin H.

Had their pizza delivered. It looked delicious but tasted horrible. The sauce was odd...very sweet and gross. My husband and I ate one slice each and threw the rest away. A waste of $18.

Just re-opened with new ownership and management one week ago. Wow! A great Ohio City experience. Service was incredibly friendly and very attentive. We were out with friends and enjoyed appetizers, pasta, and pizza. All were excellent and a nice value. Highlights were stuffed peppers, calamari, pizza, and a nice pasta. The wine list was impressive - we enjoyed a couple new Italian wines. So happy to have visited, and we'll be back. The mission is great, and the food, service, and atmosphere made for a wonderful evening.

We are here in Cleveland for the first time under not so great circumstances - patient at Cleveland clinic. Staying at a B &B for the weekend to get out of the drab hotel. It was a cold snowy night for Alabamians but we forced ourselves out and stumbled upon the Ohio pizzeria. Oh my gosh! Best pizza ever. And a great bottle of wine. The staff were so nice and helpful. The place has an inspiring back story (check our documentary Knifeskills). I was hugging the staff when I left. This place was a blessing on a night that we needed a blessing. As long as we are in Cleveland, this will be my go to. Cannot say enough about this place.

Laurel P.

My new favorite pizza place! I eat pizza. A LOT. I could potentially be a professional pizza taster. Places on the east side, places on the west side, pizza downtown and pizza in my Ohio City neighborhood. My friends and I got half cheese half pineapple/bacon. The sauce was amazing, the crust was perfectly crunchy and the cheese was just delicious. The crust is not greasy at all which is really nice because the cheese is heavy (in a very good way), it's a perfect balance. Lots of other pizza places around where I live in Ohio City, but I've found the best spot.

Sad to have to update my review on this place... HUGE decline since this past Summer. No longer our favorite local pizza place. The pizza does not taste or look the same, even though they said it hasn't changed. My mouth and eyes tell me otherwise. Also, the service has went dooooooown. Like, into the gutter. A few weeks ago, we stopped on the way home to get a pie. I rang the doorbell THREE times. I saw two people in the back, but no one came, so we left. This weekend, we thought we'd order, but they didn't answer their phone. That was probably our last attempt for Ohio City Pizza. If you guys get it together over there, let us know.

Hailey H.

Yelp
The pizza was delicious, but not worth the 1 hour plus wait. We were the only people dining in. We ordered 2 pizzas and I think the waitress forgot to put our order in after our appetizer. Then, we were told the kitchen screwed up one of the pizzas so it would be a little longer. A carry out customer picked up their pizza and was told it was well-done and they could remake it and take it off the bill or credit the account for a free pizza...yet we didn't get offered any discount for having to wait over an hour when we were the only people there! There's too many other good pizza options around to come back to this place.

Great pizza. Looks like a hole in the wall but if deserves a chance. This is the best pizza I've found in Cleveland yet. Good prices for the pies and friendly staff.

Second time with OCP - Saturday night 7pm - not busy at all other than some family members of someone who worked there having dinner. Ordered a calzone with pepperoni/mushroom and some garlic bread. The calzone had a thick edge which I found to be too much - had it been seasoned or swiped with some garlic butter, it may not have gone to waste. The mushrooms are canned - I prefer fresh, and there wasn't enough pepperoni. *shrug* The garlic bread though - was laughable. It was a hoagie roll, buttered with garlic powder. I probably could have made that at home eh? We've had pizza from them before and it's meh... As other Yelp reviews have said, if you're just looking for bare bones basics, it'll do. If you want pizza with some flavor and personality, this probably isn't the best bet. I do want to say regarding their screen door that locks (you have to be buzzed in) there is a VERY good reason for this: I live just around the corner from OCP, and can attest to the fact that there are transient and homeless persons to be watchful of most of the time. OCP is just down from a large social service agency and in fact attached to an interim shelter for women. To be clear, I'm in no way saying that homeless people are in general scary, bad or whatever... I'm saying that if I were a business in this area where there is often one employee working way in the back, I'd darn sure have a door that locked and a buzzer to let me know who's wanting in and why.

Gwendolyn S.

Yelp
*AMENDMENT* Ok I am amending my review due to the fact that I've now been in Cleveland almost 3 years and our experience with OCP has gone completely downhill. The pizza is still "ok" but over time has gotten greasier and greasier. I think the fact that they put the 'za on wax paper, which doesn't absorb anything, causes the grease puddle - however, I'm not claiming to be a scientist. The reason for the 1 star rating is as follows: Someone who works at OCP gave out our personal contact information to a delivery driver. My boyfriend started receiving text messages FROM THE PIZZA DELIVERY DRIVER on a social level on nights that WE HAD NOT ORDERED A PIZZA. Creepy as shit, right? Right. Needless to say we haven't ordered pizza from there again... (shudders). ++++++++++++++++++++++ My boyfriend and I just moved from Chicago and have really become accustomed to thin crust pizzas. Actually I'd consider myself a pizza snob, so the task of finding a new pizza joint in my area seemed rather daunting. I was told to try Ohio City Pizzeria, so I figured we should start setting them up and knocking them down as quickly as possible. The woman on the phone was extremely nice. When I asked if they made 'thin crust pizzas' she said she could make it as thin as possible, which was fine by me. I ordered my pizza and it was delivered to our apt in Tremont in 45 min. Everything went smoothly and the pizza was really good. I'd also like to add that they have green olives as a topping option and apparently that isn't a standard topping in Cleveland, so they get brownie points for that as well. I can't speak to the actual establishment because I've only had delivery. We've been in Cleveland for 1 month and have ordered pizza from OCP 2x already. I'm definitely going call them again.

Great dinner tonight! Nice selection of wine and beer. Tried the bolognese, wildcat pizza, and pepperoni pizza. The pepperoni had a nice spice to it. Great evening with friends.

On approaching the entrance to this place, I was initially unimpressed by the fact that the screen door to enter was locked and one has to ring the bell to have someone let you in. In order to give the place a fair shake and also to use my day off from being supervegan, I ordered a little bit of everything. The wings: Great! Breaded but just the right size and breaded and cooked just right The salad: It's just salad but the cheese used was great. Got a over-ripe tomato in the salad but otherwise it was fresh. The meatball sub: YUMMMMM!!! Just the right amount of toasting on the bun. Cheese was ridiculous! Sauce had that hint of sweetness. Meatballs were good. Just a great overall experience there. Pizza: It was ok and I think it would be more than ok if one orders extra sauce. Crust was just right (for me) and items seemed fresh.

Cara L.

Yelp
I've said it once and I'll say it again: If you can deliver hot 'zza to my face without me moving off my ass, you're awesome in my book. And if you take my credit card over the phone, you're even better! They're only open late-ish, but they're super-friendly, local and, do I really need to go on? I can't say it's the best pizza I've ever had, but it's a hell-a-va lot better than chain-imo's and greasy hut. Plus you get the warm fuzzies of supporting local business. I would stay away from the salad. It's huge, don't get me wrong, but it's a whole lot of what you don't want. For one, I don't like 3lbs of cheese on my salad and it's got to be fresh. And trust me, this thing weighs 3lbs. Also, lose the canned mushrooms. Is it really that much more expensive to have fresh ones? I can't handle those rubbery, soggy things on my 'zza. Beyond that, they'll deliver you fresh, hot, cheesy pizza to your door and fast. Oh, and they have grape and orange pop!

Note: The only poor rating should be taken with a large grain of salt.... Been coming here ever since I moved from NY. The woman that worked there full time was diagnosed with cancer and is recovering I found out. Her name is Birdy or Bertie. This is the woman who is accused of being too "stoned" to cook pizza. She was definitely a personality but is a good hearted person. The young girls covering her shifts indefinitely do an amazing job and it's like the pizza gets better every time I go. They had a hiccup on an order and gave me a free pizza for having to wait longer than was said when I went in for a pickup order. The Two Mediums for 10 bucks is my favorite deal they offer. They also have some creative and delicious combination. Check em out and support local business in Ohio City! P.S they only overcook pizzas when you call in for an order right before close. They usually have to turn everything back on and turn the oven up high so they can go home just like anyone wants to go home after working long hours I'm sure.

I'm giving this joint an extra star, since friggin Domino's won't deliver to Ohio City. Went here on my first night as a resident of Ohio. The gal behind the counter was really sweet, she greeted us all warmly and ended up talking with my stepmother for about ten minutes. The pizza was good. No problems. Not spectacular, but...after a while, spectacular pizza grows a bit tiresome. This is good pizza, will fill you up, and doesn't cost a ton. It's perfect for where it is (which is a 3-5 minute walk from my house...which is great). Hopefully, the snobs on the other side of Lorain won't force them to change their name (I've been informed, quite snottily, that I don't live in Ohio City...folks North of Lorain Avenue almost have a stroke if you suggest that South of Lorain is also Ohio City). Either way, they have pizza...it's not crappy NY Style, it's actually decent (yes, I've been to all the NY Pizza joints, tried it all). They have coca-cola. You don't need much else for a pizza joint.

Great place to eat and helps out a great cause. Love the cavatelli and haven't eaten a pizza I didn't like.

It's promising and for a great cause, but definitely a lot of room for improvement. We ordered carry out tonight and had a strange experience. Given, this is 3 days after officially opening. We ordered the WildCat pizza, Veal Marsala and Sausage Orecchiette. Upon putting our order in the car, the sausage pasta sauce literally melted the foil container spilling all over, on top of the pizza box. I immediately threw it out of the car and ran back in with the remaining order. The manager made no apology but offered to remake the two pasta dinners. A cook came out and offered to put the pizza in a new box as the current one had sauce all over the top. Thank goodness that I caught this before the sauce spilled in my car. The 2nd orecchiette container melted again in the restaurant. No apology from the manager. In the end, the veal was super dry, the pizza cold and orecchiette mushy, I think they threw the existing order back into the pan to reheat. The staff was very nice, however, I would have expected a refund and apology, not the case. I told the manager that the sauce disaster was due to pressing too hard on the plastic lid. The same thing happened with the remake. The food cost would be fine as a part is for a cause, but that shouldn't come at the cost of a disastrous experience and subpar food.

Michael T.

Yelp
Typically a great place to eat, however, tonight I was welcomed with the most rude and unprofessional service. There is a sign on the door that instructs patrons to ring the bell to gain access for safety. I rang that buzzer 4 times and allowed the system to time out each time. I called the restaurant and after being on hold for another 2 minutes mentioned to the lady that answered the phone my plight and she was quick and rude. I drove from the east side to get this food after I raved about it to my friends. She was very uncaring. Told me I should've turned the knob and came in then she hung up on me after I told her I wasn't coming back in. I stood Inn the cold for 5 minutes giving them the benefit of the doubt. I know she heard the door bell. No way I am ever coming back. We had plans to use them for the Superbowl.

Mmm... Pizza and sweat. THE UP-SIDE: The pizza here is pretty good. THE DOWN-SIDE: Questionable surroundings. In the summer I've watched giant beads of glistening sweat roll off the male cook's head and nearly splash land on my pizza. Thus, I never go in summer any longer. THE SUM-IT-UP: Eh. Not bad but a little gross at times. Sorta like all of Ohio City. (And I can say that 'cuz I'm from here.)

A group of eight had a couple of pizzas and salads for a business lunch at the new Ohio City Pizzeria last Friday. Wow! The service was fast, the pizza was incredible tasty, hot with just the right amount of spices, cheese and toppings. The ambiance was quiet enough for conversation and the music soft. Everyone loved the pizza and there were slices left over that the waiter packaged to take home. I will definitely keep this in mind for another business meeting in a local area.

Average pizza in a great location! The affordable price goes hand in hand with low quality ingredients. The size and amount of toppings are very generous on the pizzas, and the garlic bread is perfect. My favorite aspect is the delivery, however the last three times I ordered it took over an hour for the delivery, and the pizza was cold.
