I had heard good things about this place. I read the reviews and they were mixed, some people were very unsatisfied. I figured it was perhaps jealous competition due to the restaurant being around 50+ years. I should have listened. I don't understand how this restaurant was featured on TV. I don't even understand how it won best pizza in Cleveland 2008. While Cleveland isn't the land mark of pizza, there certainly are way better pies around here. This was truly disappointing and expensive.
We went last weekend hoping to get one of Cleveland's supposed best pies. The sauce is nothing to write home about. The salad was more cheese than lettuce. 50+ years and the salad isn't even together? We ordered the sicilian style pizza which we were told had romano cheese on it. When it came out, it appeared to be the powdered form of TABLE parmesan cheese. That's right, the cheese they have sitting next to the red pepper flakes at every pizza parlor. There really is no excuse for a pizza so underwhelmingly average, when a place has been around for over five decades to perfect it. You may be saying to yourself, what a mean review. That I am being too harsh. Have your opinions. Obviously Geraci's was doing something right at some point or else they wouldn't have lasted 50 odd something years. Whatever good pie they had, has left the building. I don't believe the pizza they served us today was the same as it ever was. But hey, our server was nice.
