My two kids and I were greeted promptly upon entering the restaurant. We explained that it was our first time and they walked us through the menu. We ordered 3 pizzas (11" each) and 3 fountain drinks for around $22. We were given a number and told they would bring the food out to us. The restaurant was clean and modern. Within minutes, the pizzas started coming. Very excited at first to see a bubbly with burn marks. Based on previous reviews, I feared the undercooked dough so I asked for all of them to be well done. Inline with the other reviews, the crust is perfect! The center of the pizzas are very thin and flimsy. They are also overloaded with sauce which makes them soggy. We ordered the Mais pizza based on the staffs recommendation. It is a white pizza with corn and ham. Completely inedible. I would avoid their white pizzas altogether. At the end of the day, the prices are very fair, the service is good and the pizzas are not bad. I wouldnt bring out of town guests here, but if you are in the area, its not a bad option. There are soon to be three rapid fire pizza places almost within walking distance of each other in this area.

This was our first time there and the staff was friendly and helpful. We ordered the pork meatballs, Hawaiian and spicy chicken pizzas. Everything was bland and lacked any seasoning. The pork meatballs might as well have been fished out of a can of spaghetti Os. We got the Hawaiian without the jalapenos for our younger kids. It was nearly flavorless. I can only assume the key to this pizza was the jalapenos. The spicy chicken was somewhat spicy but lacked any depth of flavor. It was supposed to have garlic oil, basil and oregano but you would never have known it. I give this place two stars because the food came quickly and the staff was friendly otherwise I would struggle to give it one star. Even our 11 year old recommended we never go back. Next time Ill spend 15 minutes longer in the car and head to Catch A Fire at MadTree Brewing. I really dont imagine this place lasting very long.

The pizza was pretty good. Maybe a little undercooked in the middle but with well done edges and air bubbles. No one greeted us or explained anything when we walked in. But the manager did come over and delivered our pizzas and was very friendly. He even gave coupons and free dessert- their butterscotch caramel pudding which was delicious. If we are comparing-it is more expensive as the build your own is 2.00 per meat 1.00 per veg. Atmosphere is dull. But they have wine on tap and they fresh cut their prosciutto as you order. (Didnt know about any of this when we ordered) And they have spicy oil on the condiment tray like Europe. Worth another trip to try the other menu items.

I ordered extra sauce instead I was given zero sauce, they screw up something every single time Im here. Its pizza, not rocket science! OMG! Never going back! P.S. the boy working there with the 2" round gauges in his ears is soo disgusting as others on here say so too, no one wants to see that when theyre eating! Gross!!! Also upcharging $4.00 for gluten free is discrimination, a group recently sued pf changs for their upcharging of gluten free meals and won! Google it people. I told you people I dont want to discuss my visit over a phone call, so you send me a nasty email, well now everyone can see how you people really are, (see photo of email)

Probably the best pizza in Cincinnati other than A Tavola, as strange as that is. Blaze is simply not close to the same level of crust quality, in part because Blaze does not freshly stretch their dough like Pizzeria Locale; its pre-made. The crisp, airy, chewy perfection of the crust works perfectly with the excellent sauce and cheese. I highly recommend substituting smoked mozzarella instead of regular and getting a dish of garlic olive oil on the side to dip the pizza into. Its amazing! Id never had excellent olive oil until I came here. The 11" pizza is $5-8 depending on the toppings and is out in 3 minutes.

Salad is meh. The Italian sausage is disappointing...who cuts sausage into cubes??? Maybe thats so you dont see that the sausage has the texture and coloring of a polish sausage (red and fine grind vs. brown and coarse grind). I think you get a bigger bang for your hard earned $$$ at blaze and by time you add up two pizzas (if you come with a date) its almost the cost of a Deweys and the service is ALWAYS top notch at Deweys. Well see if they last with yet another pizza joint (Brixx) opening up down the street.

Our favorite pizza. Closest to Italy we can find in Cincinnati. Still need to request half the sauce and half the cheese to get the real Italian experience - but the crust and ingredients are perfect. We can actually get prosciutto and arugula on our pizza! Love their mission as well - food with integrity. We will keep coming. No frills, just good pizza and wine-just like in Italy.

Had a chance to try Pizzeria Locale when I met a friend for lunch. Over time Ive become "NOT a fan" of Chipotle (which owns Pizzeria Locale), but Ill admit that the pizza was quite good, and the service welcoming (unlike at Chipotle, where the staff seem so constantly slammed that they dont have half a second to look at you). The decor was pretty sterile, but that didnt surprise me.

Absolutely delicious! The staff was super friendly and guided me through the ordering process. The pizza itself was extremely tasty and only took 5 minutes to get! Thats super impressive for the quality of the pizza. The cheese and the crust were phenomenal. Great craft beer choices too! They were out of wine when I came in, but Ill definitely be getting a glass on my next visit!

I love eating healthy food that is also delicious! The pizzas here are made with fresh natural ingredients. The dough is a treat by itself, and the authentic Italian toppings options are all fantastic. Pizzas, salads, breads, desserts, local craft beers, wines - lots of options while keeping it simple. I love the team here! Good people!

Yikes! Totally impersonal and robotic! Pizza was undercooked (I think thats their norm) also very oblong. Huge air bubbles as well. Took 25 minutes! Quite slow... Costs extra for every topping. If you want better pizza faster just go to blaze across the street! Or get delivery! Anything but this lame chipotle pizza chain clone.

Stone fire oven does it for me, there is no better method for cooking pizza. The employees are super nice and thoughtful even in lunch and dinner rush. The shift manager while I was here made sure they were doing glove changes when dealing with gluten free pizzas and everything was a well oiled machine.

Great pizza with very fast service. We usually pick it up for carry out and its not necessary to call ahead. Ive never had to wait to order for more than a minute or two. Staff is friendly. Ingredients are better quality than typical chain pizza place. Great prices too!

I ordered the pepperoni today. Received the pizza fast but a few pretty burnt spots, which I just peeled off. Even with adding some Oregano and Red Chili flakes, it was pretty bland. Just like the others, I would have added more items, but each additional item is $2
