Merriman Valley Pizza

Ok, I've been wanting to come here for pizza for awhile. Good reviews so I was super excited to just hop in the car and go on Sunday. You can eat in. There is a little dining area to eat. Which is fine. I did not want to drive all l that way and take it home cold. We got the Greek salad and the MVP added olives. The salad was good. No Greek dressing. Just Italian or ranch and we got Italian, it was ok. Pizza came out and we were super excited to try. The first bite was soft. Their dough is soft and fluffy which I kinda liked but this tasted like it needed to be cooked more in the middle to support the toppings and get some crunch on the dough. It wasn't bad the dough was just soft. Then I noticed the burnt ring around the crust edge. Like they tried to cook in the middle but the bottom started to burn so they had to take it out. More examination of the bottom we saw a distinct burn. Bummer. I really wanted to like this place a lot. Prices are a bit high because they make a lot a specialty pizza. If you order a 1 or 2 topping pizza it will be average. They don't skimp on the toppings which is nice. But I think they need to regulate that oven. The deck is hot but the rest of the pizza needs to cook too. As mentioned the dough is fluffy. Which was fine. Just need it not to be burnt and cook the top. Service was good. The girl and guy in the shop were super nice and helpful. No complaints they were trying hard to please. The pizza was just not up to the hype. Eating this for left over lunch tomorrow so we will see how it holds up.

So we tried this place about 6-7 months ago, and were severely disappointed. I'm not one to usually come on here and shred a place, so I decided not to review it. About two months ago, my wife told me about an interaction she had on social media and that the restaurant was under new ownership and that we were invited to check it out again. I went on instagram to look, and imagine my surprise when I saw it was being run by Mike Jarzenski. I'll admit, I've been a self professed, though remote fanboy of Chef Mike for a while. If you are bored, check out his social media. He shows you how to make things, and even gets into home improvement projects and restaurant demo/remodeling. It's awesome stuff!Anyways, so I can't remember if it was that day or the next, we ordered from here. Much, much better quality and execution on the food. My wife has simple tastes in pizza so we ended up with a pepperoni pizza, a cheese pizza, a chicken parm panini, and some breadsticks. The pizza was very good, the crust was light but chewy, the sauce tasted fresh, and even though it traveled a bit to get to our house, the cheese was still gooey and melty. The breadsticks were basically pizza dough with garlic on them, but there's nothing wrong with that at all! The only thing I would say... and this is just me, I thought the bread was an odd choice with the panini. It was kinda sweet, which isn't typically what I am looking for in a chicken parm sandwich. However, my wife says I'm nuts and it's delicious, so to each their own for sure. I get the feeling that where this place really excels is in their specialty pizzas, but sadly my wife isn't adventurous enough for me to try one yet, lol. But even if you are looking for the basics, this place delivers an excellent pizza experience that is unique in the area. I am looking forward to ordering from here again, and even going and eating there would be cool too, not a ton of pizza places around that you can do that at still.I would definitely recommend that you check them out!

Wow! A menu bursting with flavor! Thirteen of us selected a variety of items. Every bite of the Street Corn Pizza was so delicious. We had never had anything like it. We also shared a Pizza Roll and a Buffalo Chicken Ranch Roll. Oh my goodness! Just try them! Crispy, delicious, and their signature dough is just so good. If you're thinking of putting their Smoked Chicken on your pizza or in your Pizza Roll be ready for the flavor 'cause it's not plain ole chicken. We were glad we chose to dine so we could compliment the new owner, Chef Michael. We are looking forward to more visits.

Wow! We were looking for a new pizza place and this just might be our new go to. We ordered a large cheese pizza and pepperoni roll. They were both delicious and great price. Will definitely be ordering from them again. Thanks!

Ordered online this evening because my son said it was worth a try. Wing sauce was great. Wings were average. Pizza was overly greasy and pooled in the box. Had clumps of paper towels soaking up the oil. Sauce was tasty. Pizza business is a tough one and you have to stand out to succeed. Not sure this was best first impression but always want to patronage local businesses.

Very good pizza, I loved it. It a bit floppy, not that that's a bad thing but just a heads up for those who like or dislike that style of pizza.

ABSOLUTE BEST PIZZA IN CUYAHOGA FALLS !!The owners are great people with a great work ethic !Great pizza with fabulous sauce !!!

Ordered two pizzas, the chicken bacon ranch rolls and of course, the peanut butter pie. It was OUTSTANDING. This place is a gem and our new go to spot. I won't order from anywhere else now! It was so fantastic and I'm so glad it's here! Try it; you won't regret it!

The Pizza was amazing! We drove 40 minutes to try this place and it didn't disappoint! The pizza was baked perfectly, the sauce had a great flavor and the crust was cooked perfectly. We also got cheesy bread and it was very good. We topped it off with the peanut butter pie which was super creamy and delicious. We are in the restaurant which is a converted auto shop, it had a cool atmosphere and the service was great. We will definitely go back!

Got to pizzas to go, each a special order! Loved the crust, the sauce, and the fresh toppings. Spot on!
