You might say that Cleveland pizza benefits from the
Rust Belt town’s geographic position between pizza capitals Chicago and New York. When perusing Cleveland restaurants, visitors can find influences from those cities' and others’ takes on the dish. Lakewood institution Angelo’s Pizza, for example, has been making award-winning deep dish for the better part of the last decade, and Bar Cento’s Sunnyside thin-crust pizza helps make it one of the best restaurants in Cleveland.
Cleveland’s pizza scene even has a pinch of stardom to it: celebrity chef
Michael Symon’s Lolita restaurant crafts pies with delicious ingredients such as housemade cheese and lamb sausage.
