Courthouse Pizzeria

I am giving Courthouse Pizza three stars but they should get 3 ½ — they are not 4… yet!
I have read the older reviews and some of the complaints have been changed/​fixed. They now have metal silverware, the pizzas are 18″ now (not 16″) and they will give you a New York slice (you need to fold it) or they will cut it in half so you can hold it… ummmm…Ohio style? The restaurant is clean and is has a well designed interior.
I do wish they had better quality napkins and tables/​chairs with more style.
It is a thin crust pizza and if you don’t like that you won’t like their pizza. I like thick, thin, Chicago, hot, cold, round, square… wait sorry got lost dreaming of pizza… well any type of pizza.
As you can see in the pictures they give a generous amount of toppings and the staff was friendly.
It is hard to find a good local, eat-​in pizza place (sorry no yellow/​orange plastic franchise McPizza for me — I hope McBurger doesn’t try pizza next). I will be back and I hope Courthouse continues to improve… give them a try when in Medina.

A boat without an oar.
The concept is great. The square NEEDS a decent pizza place that is cheap and good. This place needs some serious help unfortunately. The prices are a bit steep for what it is… semi flavored cardboard pizza. The staff are clueless. I can’t help but think that this is occupying prime square space that could serve something else.

I wanted to love it. I did. I love the décor, the location, and the story of the place. The pizza was just ok though. I will say this, the dough was great. It was soft on the inside and very flavorful. Yeasty and balanced. You can tell it was made my hand. I took a whole course on pizza so I hope I know a little about it.
The problem: too little crust and generally undercooked as a whole. I would recommend more dough, for a thicker crust, and baked longer. The pizza was too spread out and it created a thin center. That with the baking too short creates a floppy pizza. I would keep the pizza a little thicker and bake it a tad longer. If the cheese browns, that is ok anyway. If the crust bubbles and gets a little char, that is even better. Real Italian pizzas bubble from the air escaping the dough and develop a little char. It is perfect. I hope they read this, as their pizza can be great with a few improvements.

Delicious pizza! The huge size reminds me of New York style pieces where the only way to eat it is folded in half. The thin crust was yummy and they fill the slices with toppings. Not bad for the price, definitely have had more expensive pizza. Nice new place in Medina. Staff was friendly too.

If you like re-​cooked pizza and burnt crust, this place is for you.

Love the pizza and employees!!! Everyone is always smiling, pizza tastes great! Even live warmed up left overs! Yum

To be honest my fiancé and I waited awhile to try this place. Living within walking distance of the square we are always excited for new businesses opening. Pizza is also our favorite food. This place had a line out the door for the first couple of weeks so we avoided it. I read some poor reviews online and saw a lot about how expensive one slice is. Finally one evening we decided to try it while my parents were in town. How did we wait so long?! This place is amazing. $ 4 for a giant slice of perfectly prepared pizza. This is the kind of pizza that I crave all of the time. Real Nyc style hand made pizza. Nothing else compares. $ 4 for one slice or $ 16 for a whole. If anybody is aware of what a place costs on the square and how good this pizza is, it’s well worth it. We like to go get pizza and then head to Chill after for ice cream. It is the perfect addition to Medina and I’m glad they are there!

Very disappointing… pizza had no taste… a lot of flies to bat away from the food… and the music was so loud that you could not hold a conversation… also the crust was like cardboard hard to eat.

I have to agree with the reviews online about the pricing what you get for it the taste of the product and the overall experience of and untrained staff that seem to be talking to each other and not paying attention to anything they’re doing as they smirk at you
Four dollars a slice for paper thin cardboard and cheese $ 16 for a pie that I could eat by myself in about two minutes because there is nothing to it, weak toppings etc etc
no substance at all
What a shame I won’t be back
Don’t waste your time or money

Eh, it’s ok for a slice on the go but don’t try to feed the family here. Go anywhere else it’ll taste better and be cheaper.
Dough is tasteless, sauce is from a can, so are the mushrooms.
Left just in time to witness the staff running a dirty shopvac all over the food preparation area. Also, I’m pretty sure it’s a health code violation to take your garbage out the front door. Not to mention, it grosses out your customers.

I knew it wasn’t going to be good, the guy who opened it was interviewed by the gazette and he literally said he didn’t have a recipe for pizza dough. It is not awful, but its close. It’s like a hand tossed chuckie cheese pizza. Clearly canned sauce on a flavorless crust with the toppings thrown on after they make it. There are probably people who will like it, but I’m not taking my family of 6 to spend $ 30 on pizza served on paper plates. I’m in here now and I’m literally being attacked by flies as I sit here. It sucks, because I really wanted to like this place, it would have been perfect if they knew how to make pizza…

Envision a mall food court Sbarro set in a historic corner store and then you have Courthouse Pizza. A slice (¼ of a 16″ pie) is $ 4 and each topping is $.75. They have cheese and pepperoni pizzas pre-​made and when you order, they add your toppings and reheat it in the oven. They overloaded the pizza with toppings which made me feel like I was getting my money’s worth, but doesn’t necessarily translate into better pizza…

The pizza and atmosphere were really good!!! Great combination with the activities in the square. However, the pricing is a little high for a slice of cheese pizza at $ 4 each… I will most defiantly bring my family back again!

The pizza was great, however for the price I expect more than having my food slapped up on the counter served on cheap plates which were literally melting from the hot pizza. I’m not exaggerating, my plate had holes in it. In addition, I had no idea when my order was ready because they call out names, good luck hearing that from your table if they are busy. I’ll be getting my pizza to go from this place in the future.

I grew up on NY style pizza and this pizza hits the mark. The pizza crust is thin and crunchy. I know some reviews noted that the dough was undercooked but in experience it was not. This place just opened up and they are missing the mark on pricing. $ 16 for a large cheese pie and $ 3 per topping. To me that is steep for extra toppings. If you like thin crust pizza this a good place for that.

Being from New Jersey, it is very hard to find a good pizza here in Ohio. I have only found one so far, Napolis in downtown Canton. So, needless to say, i really wanted to like this place. It was a big letdown though. While it looks close to a New York style pie, there really is no crust to be had and barely any taste coming from extra spices. Couple that with all of the flies and a weird regge atmosphere for an Italian place, it just really fell short of my hopes.

Was expecting much more from the location and effort put into the facility. Just not much to say about the product. Just your basic pizza.

Was truly hoping that we’d love this place, but alas we just can’t. We ordered a 16″ pizza, half cheese and half topped with pepperoni. On the PLUS side, the sauce and cheese were tasty, and the half of the pizza with pepperoni had an adequate amount of topping.
But on the MINUS side:
A 16″ pizza cut into only 4 pretty soggy crust slices makes for a challenge to eat.
In addition, the 4 slices were not cut through and instead of 2 slices with pepperoni and 2 without, it was about 1−½ slices without and 2−½ slices with pepperoni.
Now for my other objections. Our 16″ pizza cost $ 17.50 plus tax; the total bill was $ 22.95, not an inexpensive pizza. But we had to eat a soggy crust pizza off paper plates which are smaller than each piece, causing them to hang over the edge of the paper plates. And we struggled to cut and eat with VERY flimsy plastic utensils. It was almost impossible to cut and/​or eat each piece, and my husband realized when he finally gave up trying that at some point, he’d snapped off part of a tine from his flimsy plastic fork and had eaten it! The LEAST that could be offered are real plates and silverware for dine in customers. I don’t want to fight with my food on a too-​small paper plate with very small and flimsy plastic utensils! And I certainly don’t want to ingest part of my fork! Especially when you have to wait on yourself, and clean up after yourself.
We love pizza, and would probably eat there frequently, but unless they begin serving on real plates with real utensils, we can spend our almost $ 23.00 for pizza elsewhere, where we are waited on, cleaned up after, and have a more pleasant eating experience. Really sorry and disappointed.

Have been eagerly anticipating their opening for several weeks now, as Medina has relatively weak pizza offerings (chains, etc…)
Courthouse Pizzeria produces a tasty pie, crust is very good when ordered ‘well done’. (I saw a few slices on tables inside that were visually inedible, undercooked — might chalk that up to opening day bumps…)
Sauce is very good, cheese is excellent. Overall, the pizza is much better than anything else you can buy in Medina. However, I’d like them to extend the toppings edge to edge (I had a good 2+ inches of crust only all around the pie), and I sort of felt a little ripped off at the price tag — I paid $ 3 for pepperoni, and got a total of 17 pieces of pepperoni covering a 16″ pizza. Not OK at all. I understand the pricing structure at $ 4/​slice, but my sense is that they’ll get some pushback at charging $ 16 for a whole pie, no price break at all — and at the very least I’d think they would discount the toppings on a whole pie.
Very good pizza, but the last thing I’d want is my customers feeling a little ripped off at the price tag… much better to have us thrilled at the pizza and feel like the value was there. Great potential here though.

Please name one pizza the Dale Chase and set the price at $ 500 but then say «Since you clearly can’t afford it we’ll suspend $ 483 of the price and only charge you $ 17.» That’s what he does to every thug he sentences. Too funny! Can’t wait to try your pizza. Hurry up and open already!!!
