This was very below average pizza! The positives - the sausage was fantastic! The pizza sauce was fantastic! The atmosphere & location fantastic! After that, not so good! Burnt on the bottom, but somehow the center of crust was doughy and not completely cooked. Not sure how you can burn bottom, and not cook the center??.. but that is what happened. I think I'll give this place another shot with something other than the pizza, because it did seem like they use quality ingredients.
This was not very enjoyable. Meatballs were dry, sauce just mediocre, tiny dollop of ricotta and mozzarella not melted on top. To add insult to injury, 2 slices of wonder bread instead of “Italian bread” as described in the menu. We come every week for trivia. I’ll not spend my money here again. Thankful the young lady taking orders was friendly!
Great place! We had the Uncle Junior 3 meatball sub. They were great. Growing up in Jersey, I'm somewhat of a meatball snob....this sub didn't disappoint! Meatballs were firm and full of great flavor. Cheese and sauce were on point. Will definitely go back!Food: 5/5
I tried the white pizza because it was recommended on a Facebook group to which I belong. I have had quite a few white pizzas, and this one rates close to the bottom. It’s nothing special. The menu says it’s made with garlic oil, but I didn’t taste any garlic. There are no spices, just cheese and mild peppers—very bland. There were a lot of bubbles in my pizza, which means more dough with no toppings—like more crust, but in the middle of your pizza. It was my first visit, so this is the only item I have had from the menu. Their online menu lists the price of the pizza as $16, but when I got to the place, it cost $18. My search for a decent white pizza continues.
Average. I got the Wartime Consigliere and the bun was cold. The meatballs tasted good but the sandwich was not. Cheese garlic bread was undercooked and the sauce tasted like it was out of a can. Reply to owner's comment: Nowhere does it say there is a toasted option for the roll. It would have been nice for the employee to ask. And, the roll was cold as in just out of the refrigerator not room temperature. We also had to go back and ask for a cup of the canned, cold sauce.
I'm from Youngstown-Warren Ohio... Born and raised. Went to YSU. This place is really good. The meatballs and the sauce are delicious. The Satriale Bowl is "Y-town" in a bowl. DiRusso sausage... Pepperoni... OMG. The most amazing Italian peppers in oil and fresh bread reminds me of being home, with friends, with family... Good times, great food. I've been here 4 times... Each time is excellent.
3- Meatball Sub was amazing and perfect size to share! The white pizza is a favorite with banana peppers! Kitchen staff is always friendly and counter staff goes above and beyond to help make all the customers happy!!Food: 5/5
Our order was supposed to be delivered but after 1.5 hours my husband decided to call with no answer. He had to go the store. When he got there they still haven’t made our food! 100% unreasonable to wait this long. 2 hours for pizza! Owners, please don’t leave a generic, ‘please email us the details’ or ‘contact us’. This is me contacting you and giving you the details. Edit: Tech issues are not your consumers issues. Please don’t put those in our laps. $7.00 is hardly 50%. Thanks for the reply on your well deserved 1 star review.
Are you from Youngstown and have been desperately seeking good pizza in a cardboard square loving Columbus? Then Meatball Mafia is for you! Seriously, best pizza I have found in Columbus. meatballs are good, too. For Brier Hill pizza is better than what I've had in Youngstown. The Butcher and Vindicator pizzas were excellent, too. Will be back.
A friend from Youngstown recommended this to "get a taste" of Youngstown... We now have plans to go to the Briar Hill Festival in Youngstown... The food here is phenomenal try the Briar Hill pizza! The staff is friendly and helpful and the service is quick. Thanks for the great experience. And of course... you have to try to meatballs! Kid-friendliness: Kids love pizza! Wheelchair accessibility: It is located in a market center with plenty of accessibility
