My wife and I order from Jets on a continuous basis. We ordered it the first the on the first night we moved into our home (6/13) and have been ordering it ever since. A large deep dish with pepperoni and mushrooms with turbo crust is all you will ever need... be ready to die and go to heaven. Honest to God people, I never thought that a chain pizza joint could be so good, but trust me its amazing! Food is great priced, they hold plenty of specials which are advertised well, usually do discounts for if the big sports teams are playing, and notify you via text message for extra special discounts. Please, do your self a favor and go grab one today!

Hubby and I came here with family and we were immediately seated. Drinks were ordered and then our meal. Our server was very friendly and helpful. We each got a small pizza, mine with extra cheese and ham and hubby with meat and anchioves. We really didn't need the extra cheese, plenty as a regular order. My BIL ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, which he loved. Nice atmosphere, good food. We will be back.

8 of us shared a blind meal Saturday evening - meaning the chef chose everything for our five courses. We had a wide range including meats, but they accommodated my vegetarian wife and also avoided food allergies. You just need to tell them. They also chose the wines, from a nice Prosecco to start through excellent but reasonably price white, then red. Finished with a gelato with an interesting liqueur. The food was interesting, different from what we were used to, and good (not spectacular). Would certainly return.

I want to compliment Deanna, our waitress, for making our evening out a great time. What great service. Good was served hot and promptly but she still allowed time for us to eat our salads before our entrees came. We ordered Eggplant Parmesan and it was very good. Portion size was large as was the side of pasta. Coffee finished the meal and was smooth and not bitter. Will definitely be going back.

We really enjoyed our dinner. We had the Antipasto Insalata as our appetizer. It was very good and plentiful for two. For entrees, we both had Pasta ala Marialena. These were also excellent and good sized servings. A small salad was included with the entree which was nothing special but the house vinaigrette dressing was very good. No room for dessert. Service was friendly and very good.

I grew up in NY where the pizza crust was not just something to put toppings on. It was crafted to be light, crunchy and tasty. The toppings were the finest Italian cheeses and meats and were spectacular. Since moving to Ohio over 20 years ago, I missed those great pizzas. Most places, the dough is a greasy, soggy mess. And the toppings, ok...but not great. That all changed tonight. Guiseppe's Pizza.......oh my.....soooo great. I ordered a specialty Spinach pizza with white sauce with onions and pepperoni with light cheese. Thought I'd died and gone to heaven. The square crust was crunchy and light, the white sauce was garlicky and the best olive oil. And the tiramisu.......light, delicious, just perfect. Worth going out of the way for. I'll be back! Want to try the subs, other pizzas and the Italian dishes. Wow.

3. Alesci's of Shoregate
Reviewed By TreadingGrain
No visit to Cleveland is complete without a stop at Aleci's at Shoregate Shopping Center. Alesci's is an Italian grocer, bakery and food service all wrapped into one establishment. In addition to the various canned and dry goods their homemade goods are the real gems. We love their polenta, pasta and prepared foods. Their bakery serves up wonderful amaretto cookies, biscotti, pastries and cakes - though the cannoli is my favorite. Their selection of cheeses and meats is superb. Salami, pepperoni, pancetta, provolone, ricotta, parmagiano reggiano, all fill the food cases. Best of all, though, Alesci's offers fresh dishes like lasagna, chicken parmesan, pasta salad, and manicotti that you can pick up and go. Alesci's is a classic.

Stopped here for dinner with friends. Very popular place...call for reservations or get there early. I had the pasta dish with shrimp stuffed with crab meat...it was berry good. My wife raved about her choice of homemade cavatelli with meat sauce. Our friends had a chicken dish and the ravioli...both were happy. Good size portions. Parking may require you to use the strip lot across the street. We were all satisfied with our meals and would return.

My dad and I go to Cleveland every few months and wusually have dinner with his college friend who lives in Mentor while we're there. We're all Italian so we like to find a different Italian restaurant to try and Mario Fazio's was convenient for everyone. It did not disappoint one bit. Even though it was our first time, Lisa (the owner's daughter I believe) made us feel like regulars. We an appetizer, salads, and dinners and it was a ton of food! The Stuffed Hot Peppers weren't exactly stuffed peppers. They were two full links of delicious and perfectly cooked Italian sausage covered in hot peppers, sauce, and cheese. The two older guys had the Eggplant Terrine which was very good and not mushy at all. I had the Doreen's Pasta, which was easily the best dish I've ever had in an Italian restuarant. Our server, Jamie, was very friendly and attentive but also gave us our space.If you ever find yourself around Cleveland and want good Italian, go to Mario Fazio's.
