If you're looking for a quiet place to dine and recluse this isn't the place!But if you like a friendly atmosphere with lots of smiles and amazing food ?, then you found it!The servers are fast, yet attentive to your smallest of needs. The Restaurant is very clean as are the restrooms also leaving even the pickiest of customers (me) satisfied with the safety of their food.Now as for the food.......WOW! Pizza, served THE WAY YOU LIKE IT. Non-alcoholic beverages are bottomless and reasonably priced. And , by the way, do yourself a favor and try their garlic cheese bread! YUMMY!!!!!!!I order dine in, to-go, and delivered, either way it's delicious and fresh. Outstanding Restaurant, PERIOD!

They must have a big rotation of pizza makers or simply don't train them very well, because the variability of the pizzas is orders of magnitude higher than any other pizza joint I've ever seen. You can get a 8/10 pizza one time, then get a 3/10 pizza the next. If you're unlucky and go on an off day, then you're basically getting a pie that's worse than a frozen pizza from Kroger. If you're lucky and go on a good day, then you're getting one of the better NY style pizzas in Ohio.

We've had this place as delivery or pickup, but have never made it inside. The pizza is absolutely amazing and was even rated by Dave Portnoy.The pizza is delicious and piping hot, always. The I side has an awesome bar and a great atmosphere. We stopping in on a Tuesday and they were doing trivia!What a perfect spot l for good food, drinks and trivia. The d'écorce was a tad slow, but I think it was because the place was packed for trivia.

Came here with a bunch of guys before a golf outing in the area. We shared some pizza slices and a meatball sub, both of which were average to good. The sub kind of fell apart as we ate it as the bread did not seem to hold up well to the sauce and cheese. Pizza slices were on the burnt side, but the overall flavor hit the spot.

I'm glad that I did not review this right away or I would have given it one star because I was a tad upset that I spent $70 for pizza that just wasn't very good. We walked in on a busy Saturday and we're expecting to wait. The Host kept pushing for us to eat outdoors. As it was dusk there are many critters out there so we told her we will wait for the inside. I like the indoor outdoor type atmosphere with the garage style doors. As we were waiting at the bar we let the bartender know that we would just be having drinks and we were waiting for a table. She came over twice and tried to convince us to just order and eat at the bar. The bar seating is not comfortable and has no backs so we declined to eat at the bar and were puzzled why we kept getting asked. After about 15 minutes or so we were seated at a booth by the bartender. Another 15 minutes went by before any server came up to the table which was strange. We should have left. Several servers walked right by us and didn't say a thing so the service wasn't great. By the time the server came by asked if we were ready to order right away we had our orders ready. We had the Garlic Knot roll and to try the pizza we got a slice of pepperoni, a slice of cheese pizza and a pepperoni stromboli. We had never been here before and wanted to try a little bit of everything before committing to a full Pizza. The garlic rolls came and were not cooked all the way. They just tasted like dough that was not cooked and a whole whole lot of garlic. Same thing we noticed with the Stromboli. Could hardly taste the sauce at all just a bunch of bread and cheese. A server never did come back and ask us how our meals were so we just kind of try to power our way through it. I even took the leftovers home thinking they would be better the next day as most Pizza is but no. It just wasn't good and tasteless. We both kept thinking to ourselves that we should have went over to the village idiot and had a $15 Pizza like we were first thinking. It's just not for me. Maybe it was a bad day for them but I'm not willing to spend my money there again

This place has the closest to NY style pizza you will find in NW Ohio. They actually use a filter on their water to mimic NY water! The crust is killer and the oven bake is amazing. They do more than just great pizza. The subs are amazing. The Stromboli is superb. And get an order of meatballs with an order of garlic bread! The perfect combination. The staff is always attentive and friendly. They do seem to be training new staff all the time so maybe they have a high turnover rate? It is located near a college campus. Ambiance wise the place is huge with a large bar area and some outdoor seating. There are plenty of TVs incase you want to watch sports or participate in their trivia night. Try their pizza! You will not be disappointed.

Stubborn Brother has great vegan options and I always enjoy doing a build your own pizza when I'm here. The roasted cauliflower is always out of this world and one of my favorite things to eat. The service is always extremely fast and friendly and they have incredibly cold beer. One of the most fun sports bar atmospheres around!

The Stubborn Brother Pizza hit the spot! We arrived just in time to grab a seat at the bar to dine in. Super cute, industrial style cozy interior. The bartender greeted us promptly & stayed on it the whole time. We got some drafts & ordered some much needed garlic bread & meatballs. Holy yum! Super tasty! He opted for slices of pizza- I chose to order up a whole one for days of leftovers! We really wanted dessert but had no room. Maybe next time! Dont sleep on this one. The crust was amazing & the whole experience was a memorable one. This is one of our new favs!

Food, service, and ambiance were all very good. The pizza was exactly the style I like and was really good. This would be a 5 star review, but I have had slightly better pizza like this in other cities. As for Toledo, it's the best place to get New York style pizza!
