| - After reading some of the reviews, I've realized a lot. Some people grew up in the area and love what Farinacci's has to offer. Those hometown sweethearts may be attached to the joy Farinacci's brings them and they might find it a local hotspot.
And some people may have expected more out of it, for example they may have expected it to be a tad more modernized and upscale.
Here's my two cents:
It's a family owned business and it's huge among locals. I don't know how long that's going to be "in" but they're doing pretty good. The pizza is delicious.
I grew up in the Northfield area. My family used to come here every Friday when I was a kid, and even as I grew older, we would still get pizza from here at least once a month.
I love the pizza here. The dough and sauce is the best part. Would I drive out of the way for it though? Not at all.
If you live in the area, you have to give it a shot. I recommend getting it to-go. However, it's pizza. Yes, this place is cash only. Yes, they don't deliver. Yes, they have weird hours. Yes, the inside looks outdated and old fashioned.
However, they have great pizza and good service. This generation is too obsessed with fast casual hipster places and they discredit every single place that is either family owned, old-fashioned, ma and pa, rooted in another culture/language, etc. Not every place you eat at is going to be that cool Coffee shop with gluten free pastries in Ohio City. That's what makes dining unique.
If you don't like it, don't bother eating there. But whenever I'm in town, I'll be glad to stop by.
