Harlow's

Local and downright delicious. Harlows is in a great location in downtown Lakewood, walkable with a great ambiance whether you choose to sit outside, in the front or under the trees outback. Simple menu but of so full of flavor, wood fired is the best pizza option there is. The staff was friendly and full of suggestions, as a girl who doesn't eat cheese I appreciate the no nonsense suggestions.

The sauce is my favorite part of any pizza, so the marinara pizza from here is a dream! Crust is perfect and you watch them make it right in front of you. Really fresh and modern atmosphere inside vs some other pizza places. I wish it was bigger just to make it easier to go here on a whim or with groups, but the intimacy is nice.

Pros- PIZZA CAME OUT SO FAST!!! Servers were on top of things and kind and we were in and out in like 20 minutes. Very impressive.Lemon basil agua Fresca was very refreshing.Cons- I do think the personal sized pizza is a bit expensive. The taste was decent but nothing crazy. I do love the wood fired crust.

This was such a cute little spot to stop for dinner -- it's no wonder it was so busy! The ambiance was cute -- there were candles, eclectic glasses, and even artworks. The pizza itself was delicious - the sauce really sets both the tomato sauce and white pizzas apart. Plus everyone was super nice. Best pizza I've had in Cleveland.

Great spot to have a delicious pizza and great atmosphere as well. The vibe is great and their thin crust pizzas as delicious! Full of flavor and delicious although you may need several ones to fill all the cravings because they are very addictive and it can get a bit pricey

It seems like there are more and more brick oven pizzerias popping up in the Cleveland area. I first became hip to this charming Lakewood establishment after reading an online article referencing the best pizza shops. So, I decided to test the waters and dive in.Harlows is located along Madison Ave in a major Lakewood business district. It's easy to find; however, parking in front can be tricky, so you may have to find a spot on the nearest side street.I walked in and sat down at the bar. The interior is unique, with a vintage, yet rustic feel that incorporates bright colors and a retractable front window that allows a more open-air setting. The custom made Italian brick oven provided a picturesque backdrop for a dining experience.The menu consists of numerous pies with a variety of toppings; however, they do not allow you to customize pies - they are made to order as they appear on the menu. Desiring simplicity, I went with a timeless classic - margherita!I watched as the fresh dough was tossed, topped with sauce and mozzerella, before sliding into the oven. After about a two minutes, it was hot and ready. The pizza was what I expected; a savory, light, and deliciously satisfying exhibit of culinary excellence! The crust was crispy, not caked in grease, and the cheese was not oozing off the pie, but rather evenly distributed. Pizza Neapolitano!

Neapolitan style pizza- very thin crust. Pizzas come out in about 5 minutes. The salami pizza was excellent. Price point a bit on the higher side (salami pizza $18). They have 6 pizzas, don't do substitutions, and don't have other food. I like this simple menu, but it's worth knowing that you won't get several options / topping choices. Small, homey ambience. Very friendly staff. The place reminds me of a limited option Il Rione but more casual and with speedy service. I'll definitely be back!

A pizza spot. Trendy but very low key. I went with a friend and we got the Leonardo, a white pizza with pistachios and the classic margherita. The dough was so chewy and fresh. Is dough everything when it comes to pizza? We both had glasses of truffle hunter wine. Now I will be on the search to find that to have a bottle of it at home. I did start with the aqua Fresca with gin. It was a lemon basil, but there was no basil. So I was meh on that. But then I made the right choice, and switched to red wine with my pizza! We sat outside, it was perfect out, at a bench, dining hall sort of seating. The plants all around give the outside a sort of oasis vibe and I would recommend going out there if it's nice enough.

a small but cozy pizza spot in Lakewood. The inside is very small with limited seating and they don't take reservations so there is usually a short wait. We waited about 20 minutes but the staff was super friendly and we were able to order drinks while we waited. The pizza was delicious and everything tasted fresh, but it is kind of pricey ($16-21 per pie) for the size. They have a relatively simple menu but have some creative toppings. My favorite was the Leonardo which had pistachios on it. They are also popular for their agua frescos which can be ordered with or without alcohol. I opted for wine but the lemon basil agua fresco looked delicious!

Ok pizza crust was good but pizzas are very small, kinda pricey and the sauce tastes like canned tomato with no seasoning- not even any salt. Served rushed us out before we even finished our pizzas. Skip this place.
