I recently ordered an extra large tavern-style pizza from Cipriani's Pizza for $35 plus delivery, and overall, I'd give it a 7 out of 10. The delivery process was smooth; the restaurant is conveniently located about 10-15 minutes from my house, and the pizza arrived hot and inviting.
Taste-wise, the pizza was delicious with a commendable flavor profile, especially since the sauce wasn't overly sweet, which suits my palate. However, the sauce distribution was a bit sparse, and I found myself wishing there had been just a bit more to complement the generous toppings. The toppings themselves were a high point—robust and well-prepared.
My main critiques are regarding the crust and thickness. For a tavern-style pizza, it was slightly thicker than expected, straying a bit from the traditional ultra-thin base I was anticipating. Additionally, the crust texture was on the dry side, which detracted somewhat from the overall enjoyment.
In retrospect, I should have added pepperoni to the Cipriani's Special, which might have elevated the experience. Despite these minor issues, I believe this is a solid choice for anyone craving a classic tavern-style pizza. I'll definitely be ordering again, albeit with a few tweaks to better...

Read moreOne of the DULLEST tasting pizzas I've ever had in years in Garfield Ridge.
Figured I'd give it a shot. I'm used to the wonderful flavors of Danny's Pizza or Villa Rosa (not that far away), but this just happened to be closer than them. BIG mistake.
No spices that I can taste, just bland tomato sauce, the cheese was rubbery and once again no flavor, and even the sausage/mushrom combo I had just tasted completely flat and I barely got it down - thanks to a LOT of parmesean cheese and hot flakes to give it anything resembling "spice"!
It was just not worth the $21.00 for a MEDIUM size pizza. I've gotten better flavored pizza out of the generic storebought stuff!
AVOID...
