Cleveland is a pizza town, yet finding good pizza is a daunting task. After living in the Cleveland area for 8-ish years, I've been around the pizza block, so to say. Valentino's easily makes my list of top 5 pizza joints in and around Cleveland.
The pizza itself is consistently delicious. Always fresh, and always awesome. They DO put sugar in their sauce, which is weird because it doesn't taste overly sweet to me. It must be just the right amount to make their sauce addictive!
The service is always great, with everyone being super nice both in person and over the phone.
There's no indoor dining area, but there IS a lovely patio available when the weather warms up.
Also, Valentino's is many, many times better than Mama Santa's. I'll drive from Lakewood just to get a Valentino's pizza, but wouldn't walk down the hill to get a pizza from Mama Santa's.
