This is the second East of Chicago location that I have ordered from and both of them have been great. I would argue this is the best pizza in the Akron area. Make sure you get it “loaded” which is stuffed crust but with pepperoni in the crust too! Highly recommend.

Donatos WAS my favorite, until I found this... I always order the Flash deluxe with a couple changes. I’ve never been disappointed on flavor ... BUT depending on who’s cooking, I sometimes get fewer toppings . I believe there should always be plenty of toppings on a pizza this size for the price. So far for me, no one can compare with the great flavor of their pizza, YUMMY

So far, the food and service has always been good. We love that we have a local East of Chicago. They keep the premises nicely updated and clean, the people have been friendly, and our pizzas have always been hot and made correctly.

I have never gotten poor service or poor quality food. My pizza is always cooked properly,chicken wings have plenty of sauce, salads and perfectly chilled. I have gone to almost every pizza place in town and I am never disappointed with the staff or with my order. Staff is always friendly and I'm greeted with a smile.

Good subs and good pizza with even better customer service. Also love how festive they are for Halloween and other holidays. You can tell they have a good sense of humor too by how they have fun with wording their sign out front.

We ordered the taco pizza and it was PERFECT! The crust was crispy and all of the toppings were fresh and delicious. You can tell they took time to care about presentation too. And to top it off the gentleman at the window is so personable and nice! Thank you!!

We've tried a lot of pizza and wings over the years and this is our "go-to" place. The Tower pizza has more than you can hope for in toppings that can be evenly substituted for your particular taste. Yum! The wings are large, done perfectly with sauce on them or on the side. My favorite is plain with mild bbq (just enough bite ) on the side & included with my order. And once I get them home I can additionaly dunk them in my favorite blue cheese and hickory bbq sauces for the multi flavor explosion I crave. The people are always upbeat, the food hot and yummy, the price reasonable; what more could you want? Thank you for your dedication to quality! Mary D
