ippa Pizza Napoletana — Restaurant in Erie

Just wanted to let the management team know that the restaurant is very trendy. Like something duplicated from a visit to portland in the mid 2000's. Not a bad thing, but certainly not an original idea. The Gm of this location is certainly a good hearted person with solid business ideology in mind. Referring to the General manager in 2024. Now ownership, gotta say.... In no such manner would i suggest making everyone under your roof a pawn in a business they dont have ownership in. Let alone attempting to feel victorious thinking that you poked holes in someones experience. Vampirism isnt rewarded by aiding others, Its from draining them. As far as the food is concerned. Didnt try it. Pizza has been pizza, since pizza, was pizza. Dough, sauce, cheese, and toppings put into a heat source isnt going to magnificently transform into some sort of dubstep flavor decepticon that shreds your tastebuds into oblivion. Its pizza.... And from what ive learned in my "travels" is that the closer it gets to a teenage mutant ninja...

Me and my husband came a few nights ago and pizza was great! On the smaller side…The atmosphere was horrible! A nice girl took our order but every question we asked her a man from the back seemed to interrupt her. I could tell it was making her uncomfortable, i felt bad for the girl and didn’t want to continue asking her questions so he couldn’t make her more uncomfortable. Afterwards, it was around 6:30 and the man kept complaining about orders coming in when the restaurants hours are posted as open till 7 during week nights. Me and my husband felt uncomfortable and did not want to eat at the tables and outside dining area they had open. He had a horrendous attitude towards the same girl the entire wait time. When we finally got pizzas they were smaller than expected. Overall I think the service needs major help!! Though we liked the pizza i don’t like contributing to non equal and toxic work environments for young employees and kids making...

Was time to get an actual review going for this establishment. Do i honestly feel honored that Ippa replaced a portion of the best restaurant erie ever had in molly branigans? Absolutely not! So Jason spore is the owner of this place. Supposedly well traveled and knows pizza like its his job. Tried this place out for the first time. And honestly. Really really not impressed. The crust has more char on the bottom than edible surface area. The sauce just wasnt a participant. And the cheese was more absent than a east high student post 12pm. All these claims of superb quality ingredients that go into this pizza just seems so far fetched. Id be willing to bet ippa gets its ingredients from the same places as everyone else in the mistake on the lake does. A proper pie should blow your socks off. Not your wallet. Nothing gunna compare to the good ol three brothers on peninsula. Let alone the good ole days of papa joes...
