Fratelli’s Pizzeria

The pizza taste okay but the customer service was laughable. I just stood in line for 45 minutes with 20 other grumbling people waiting to pay for carry out orders. I could see my order sitting there the entire time. Apparently they have regular problems with the POS software and no ability to process orders by hand. No discount or apology was offered. I won’t be going back.

Moved to the Cincinnati area from New York in 2007. We Struggled trying to find a decent pizza restaurant. The two local favorites, LaRosa’s and Donato’s sucked as far as my family was concerned. A friend told us about Fratelli’s, we tried it and have been regulars ever since. It’s the best pizza in Cincinnati for sure! As one reviewer stated, it even beats some of the popular pizzerias in New York. The crust is sublime… crispy but chewy at the same time. While the pizzas cost a bit more than Pizza Hut or Papa John’s, they’re much larger with better toppings. Fratelli’s is closed on Mondays, which sucks (can’t tell you how many times we wanted pizza for Monday Night Football). If you’re dining in, There’s nothing special about the interior which is pretty plain, but the staff is always very friendly which makes up for it. If you haven’t tried Fratelli’s, you owe it to yourself to check it out. It will likely become you’re favorite.

This pizza is so good! The crust is great, perfect amount of sauce and cheese! My favorite place near home. I have never dined in, only had carry out.

We love New York Style Pizza and their pizza is very good. We go there a lot and their service is great. Crust is very thin. nice tangy sauce. I sometimes wish there was more cheese on the pizza. Go there, you won’t be disappointed.

This is a great pizza place!
They have a great staff, that actually smiles… That’s rare from a pizza joint.
I like my pizza! It was better than most pizza I’ve had. Second to A tavola.
The crust is really thin, and the ingredients are quality ones. It is still soft on the inside. The sauce is thin, bright, zingy, and not as heavy as most pizza places.
However I do have one complaint. The menu isn’t that creative or innovative. I ordered the new yorker. white pizza seemed to be the most unique, but I still crave variety! A little arrugula? balsamic reduction? how about some prosciutto?
Okay, so I’m a yuppie, but this is a good standby! And the prices aren’t bad either!

I first walked in to this wonderland of true newyork craftsmanship and was lifted up by the smell radiating from the kitchen. I ordered our pizza and was memorized by the first bite. BEST PIZZA EVER. I have toured the country for over a decade for work and have kept a pizza journal of all the places I have been. On tour I eat pizza everyday so u can imagine… This is the top shelf of pizza, u simply aren’t going to get it better. I want to build an apt. Above the pizzeria so that I can smell this pizza everyday. I love it, And if u do t feel the same after coming here get your taste buds checked out.

Very good New York style pizza. Fresh dough is always better than frozen. Look forward to our next visit.

I usually work Frats into my pizza schedule which means I will have it 7 – 10 times a year. It’s a nice change of pace and is economically friendly compared to Donatos. They never over sauce which I appreciate but can also slip you a burned pie from time to time. My recommendation… come here, check the bottom of a slice before you leave and enjoy.

The best pizza north of Cincy. And I come in today and find they have corona on tap! I am not normally a huge beer drinker but I have always loved corona.
If you enjoy pizza I will say this is some of the best thin crust pizza you can buy. Come and try it.

If you’re looking for somewhere to get pizza, look no farther. Fratellis is the real deal. I’ve never been displeased with anything here and it always tastes amazing. By far the best pizza in Cincinnati!

Although it is not the BEST pizza I’ve had, its definitely a little piece of home in Ohio!
We came to Ohio and were dying for pizza. Knowing we weren’t going to find exactly what we wanted we asked around and absolutely asked the right person. A north shore long island raised now Ohioan, told us Fratelli’s was the closest thing to legitimate New York pizza.
Slices are not sold after 2pm so we got a medium pie and the slices were huge for a medium pie. So worth the drive from where we were and honestly I’ll drive from long island to Brooklyn’s L&Bs any day so this was nothing.
Keep up the great work Fratellis because you’re killing it!

When their pizza is good, its really good. New York style, big and floppy. The meatballs are a really good topping. That being said, I have picked up my pizza from there several times to get home and discover it burned. I once watched the owner… yes, the OWNER, box up and hand a positvely scorched black pizza to an unsuspecting carry out customer. So, when its good, its very good. But when its burned… well, not so good.

I love the pizza here, the proportions are huge and the pizza is great! If only they delivered.

This is by far my favorite pizza place. NY style thin crust pizza. Perfect amount of cheese and toppings. I always have to take someone with me when I go otherwise I’d eat the whole thing by myself! I can’t stop thanking the person that showed this little gem to me.

If God was Italian… and lived in West Chester… He would come to Fratellis. It’s THAT good.

Carbalicious!!!
I love pizza… but this is gourmet pizza. It’s a very unassuming place in the way old Little Caesar’s location (from back when I was a kid).
Order at the counter and take it to go or sit and eat at the many tables (good amount of seating).
You can booze it up if you want and if you don’t want pizza they have sandwiches and pastas along with an assortment of sides.
I had the white pizza with chicken and it was delicious — ricotta and mozarella with tomatoes and broccoli on a thin pie. It was heavenly.
Excellent!

Fantastic Pizza! Crispy crust but soft inside. Very authentic New York pizza! Did carry out and it only took 12 minutes to get the pizza. Staff was very friendly. The restaurant looks very nice on the inside.

If you are looking to get even remotely close to NYC pizza this is the place. There are too many imposters in the Cincy area claiming to have New York style pizza but none of them come close. This place is the real deal. My family lives in Long Island and are pizza experts and even they agreed fratelli’s was close to home. The service was fast, the prices are extremely fair and the quality is always there. What more could you ask for?

A group of 30 of us invaded this tiny little pizza parlor on a Saturday night recently and the staff didn’t blink an eye. Service was excellent as we took over table after table. They were always pleasant and good on refills.
The pizza was only ok in my opinion. Pretty typical in the realm of local pizza places. Also, prices felt slightly higher than a chain pizza place. I was surprised that they had beer on tap considering the size of the restaurant.
I thank the staff for their hard work, but I won’t go out of my way to go back.

Ain’t nothin’ like the real thing, baby…
Yes, it makes me feel like singing… That’s how pleased I was with Fratelli’s!
Get it straight: I am fully qualified to make the call (a lifelong New Yorker over 4 decades): This IS the real thing — real pizza a.k.a. «New York style.» I mean the big slice where you start out with the two handed support position, and ease naturally after a couple bites into the 3 finger fold, finishing off with the final full fold. This is how it’s done.
My fellow Cincinnatians… If you’re ready to move on from the worthless big chains, journey beyond the B-​plus-​for-​effort LaRosa’s and venture into the hitherto unknown realm of an honest to goodness taste of the Boroughs, head for Fratelli’s. Seek no further.
The pizzeria is marking its 10^th anniversary. A cent’anni!
Garlic knots and calzones, too! Have not tried the latter yet, but I have every confidence in their authenticity.
One caveat: individual slices are only available from 11 AM until 2 PM Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The only reason I can come up with for that, is that alas! the demand is probably not there. I hope that by spreading the word, the demand may grow amongst the natives. Sometimes, ya just gotta wanna slice anna Coke.
Due to the limited hours of slice availability, I give 4.9 999 999 instead of five stars.
I also want to make mention of the overall nice appearance of Fratelli’s. It looks just like a genuine storefront Pizzeria in Brooklyn or Queens should look. Seeing the pizza being tossed, I was transported to my old stomping grounds. For a brief time I nearly forgot I was in a strip mall.
I only live 10 or 12 minutes away, had never noticed Fratelli’s when passing thru this intersection, so thanks Unilocal!«The search is over, you were with me all the while.»
