Delicious! Some of the best pizza in Cleveland. We had to wait a bit because they don't take reservations, but we grabbed a drink across the street. We were a group of five and were at a table meant for four, but so worth it for the delicious drinks and pizza. We ordered a large pizza and two smalls for five people and it was more than enough. All three of the pizzas we tried were so good, but we especially loved the speck and the green pizza. Will be back!

Our go to place for pizza and salads. Love the flavors in the Il Rione salad and the Diavolo pie is our favorite. Service is amazing but you can expect to wait for a table during peak times. Get a negroni and wait, it's well worth it.

There is always a wait here but they text you when ready. Very noisy and crowded but fast and great service. This is how to make a thin crust pizza!! I wish they would bring back the clam pizza!!!

My favorite pizza in Cleveland and Marcus behind the bar is 11/10. Everyone there is incredible the speck pizza is to die for, and the layout and decor is nothing short of special.

Finally made it to Il Rione. It was every bit as good as we hoped it would be. Watching them Knead the dough & spread it out and put all the fresh ingredients on it was magical. We wanted to try all the pizzas, but we started with Diavolo, next time we want to try either the speck or the sausage A quick helpful head, get there about 10 minutes before they open you'll wait 10 minutes versus much longer as this place was absolutely packed 10 minutes after they opened.

First time in yesterday and Il Rione did not disappoint. I'm very much a fan of New York and Neapolitan style pizza and this place is just quality. The speck pizza is complete perfection, we weren't able to dine in as we had to head home early for the pets but I can't wait to come back and get the full experience. It's a neighborhood gem hitting in all the right places. Delicious pizza, dare I say best I've had in the last 5 years!

Fear not pizza pilgrims, the Edison's pizza experience is back and better than ever with the Il Rione team manning the pizza window. Lil Ronnie's vibe maintains the low key vibes of its former inhabitants, while serving up pizza worthy in a lineup of NYC slices. The menu is simpler fare than Il Rione. The pizza is foldable, greasy, and pure comfort. Yes, you can still get a whole pie here (a large one at that), but you can also get a slice of white pizza with arugula pesto and another slice of pepp with hot honey. Say less, amirite? Ordering will take place through the front entrance for now until they figure out a way to get a point of sale system at the pub window, but they're more than happy to deliver your pizza to the window when it's ready (which was pretty quickly for the slices). And I mean happy - the staff is so pleasant and efficient that you wouldn't know it's the soft launch.

SO. DELICIOUS. Il Rione has been on my list to try for a very long time and I am so glad I finally got the chance to come eat! Keep in mind they aren't open on Sundays or Mondays :( and they DO NOT take reservations, so if you expect it to get busy... definitely come a little before you actually expect to eat! Fortunately for us, there was no wait on a Tuesday evening so we got sat right away. We ordered two glasses or red wine and a Speck Pie to split! Red wine was not pictured, but the server kindly helped us pick which wine would pair well with our pizza and to our tastes! Now the pizza...... DELICIOUS! It is probably one of my top 10 best pizzas I've had in Cleveland! The Speck pie is a white pie (mozzarella, ricotta, and garlic), with speck, lemon ricotta, pistachio, and hot honey on top! - I also added red pepper flakes! Everything on this pizza worked so well together, not a single piece was left to bring home! I cannot wait to come back to try some of their other pizzas! Thank you Il Rione!!
