Prior to opening Guidos, Guido worked as an insurance salesman for National Life Insurance Company. He had a pretty good position with the company and was well known throughout the area. Some may remember Guido visiting their homes pitching an insurance sale. He also worked part-time at the old Elite Restaurant in order to help support his wife and 10 children and whenever he worked there, he would bring home an Elite pizza. The family always looked forward to that treat. Obviously, his wife Vivian couldn't work because she was busy raising the kids.

We picked up 3 sheet pizzas and 2 large pans of salad with a variety of dressings for a 40 person birthday party. Guido's recommended 2 pizzas and they were correct, we didn't need 3. The food was ready on time, the order was correct and delicious as always!

Food was good. On the day we were there they did not have servers working so our food was served in paper bags. The menu had a lot of different stuff not just pizza. We both had dinners with pasta sides and the sauce was very good. We also had side salads that came with bread.

We moved from Ravenna over 20 yrs ago and still love to come back just for Guido's pizza. It's the best I have had, and at 62 yrs old, I've had a lot of different pizzas.

UNREAL SANDWICHES & PIZZA, and the cakes, salads, and pasta dishes are to die for. We'll worth the visit for lunch. Some days they don't have table service but who cares? Cozy booths provide excellent spots for intimate conversations while enjoying a meal that's "the real deal"! And the bread! Don't forget to grab a loaf or two to take home.

I had the special of the day, chicken fried steak. It was very good, and a very hearty portion. Plate was loaded. Also got a pizza to go. It too was good.

Pizza has been dry, and hard last few times we've had it. Not impressed. Last time I had it a broken piece of toothpick was in the pizza and stuck in my mouth. Disgusting. Do not go here, head to siclianos if you want quality food. Just because it's been in Ravenna for years doesn't mean it's good.

This best pizza we ever had in northeast! Ohio! The pizza was so delicious and with so many flavors could choose that we even visited the pizza shop twice in the same day! You could just take away or standing finish your pizza in the store. Consistently great pizza with great variety of toppings and styles. Service is fast too. Can't go wrong with this place.

You want tradition? You want a place that makes you sit and wait awhile and forces you to have a conversation with one another as your pizza is cooked to perfection? You want a place that makes you feel cozy and not feel stressed about what you have to wear? Guidos is one of the original pizza places in keeping the tradition on what it means to be Italian.

This place makes you feel like family. Don't be afraid to order something other than pizza because whatever you order will be on point. They offer an awesome range of fresh pizzas. I liked dining here. Staff members are always friendly, prices are reasonable and the spot is always kept clean. I had the best pizza of my life at that time. Since then I have visited this place numerous times and my opinion about this pizza has still not changed.

Such a great experience eating at thie vice was top notch and the pizza was to die for. The service and the food were both excellent. I have never had a bad experience and any of the restaurants. The pizza here is real amazing and would recommend trying these guys out. They have a great toppings selections and great prices. Authentic Italian pizza. Made just the way it was back in 1933, I'm sure. No other pizza compares to this one. The pizza here is real amazing and would recommend trying these guys out. They have a great toppings selections and great prices.

Haven't ordered in years and decided to try it again. Ordered the original muffuletta "sub" for 10.49 there was barely any topping, you can count the tiny olive pieces. They sell olive salad dressing in the little tubs at giant eagle. Husband got the walleye, wondered where the fish was under the breading. The family salads are still huge. 2 heads of lettuce with some green beans, tomatoes, peppers, black olives and cheese on the top.

I had the burger and my mom had the muffuletta and it was both sooo good! The service was really friendly and helpful. The outdoor seating was really nice! Highly recommend.

Tonight it was pizza and salad to go. All good and fresh. We had our pizza with sliced meatballs, green peppers, crumbled sausage, black olives and tomatoes. It was hearty and filing, but not particularly flavorful. Crust was fresh tasting, fairly thick, and chewy. Definitely not New York. Or Italian, for that matter. Everyone enjoyed it. The salads were fresh and crisp. Lettuce kinda boring.

Green beans in the salad remind me of the old Elite Restaurant. Again, not to flavorful. Dressing comes in plastic packages. But again, everyone seemed to enjoy it. The place is always busy and the service is good.

Excellent service, food was good, enjoyable lunch. They were busy, Lexi was our server she was very busy but on top of everything. Husband had chicken legs and fries he's said they were the best he'd eaten there. Grilled chicken salad for me, more then enough dressing came in little containers. Silverware came wrapped and we asked for salt shaker.

When you go into this little place you may wonder how could it have such good food but let me tell you they have great food! Great price and good quality food. I have ordered their food for years and used them for graduation parties and Christmas parties they deliver on time and they are reliable. Good food always every time.

My aunt brought me here for lunch. The smell was amazing when you first walk in. There is seating outside as well as inside. As you can see by the menu they have a lot to offer. I tried the Meatball Splash which was simply 3 big meatballs sitting in marinara sauce served with fresh warm Italian bread. I definitely want to come back and try more.

This is the best place in town to have a meal! Either takeout or delivery. You never have to worry about anything being forgotten from being the correct order to the smallest condiment. The people are the friendliest and will go out of their way to make sure you have what you want or need. I don't think I will ever change whetr I get my takeout. Thank you Guides for all that you do!

This is the best pizza I've ever had and I lived in the SF Bay Area for four years. I love Zachary's and Jupiter in the Bay Area and Luciano's in Pittsburgh but if I'm strictly judging by pizza alone, Guido's is the best in my opinion. These pizza joints are far and away my favorites. The crust is unique only to them. The sauce is amazing, though okay, on sauce alone Zachary's wins.

The moz has a perfect texture and breaks easily. Zachary's seems to never end when you pull it. Guido's sausage is the best I've ever had on a pizza. Rich taste and crumbly to boot. Another note, nobody makes better jojos (potato wedges) than Guido's. Finally, I'd give the pizza joints I mentioned 10 stars if I could.

I got food poisoning there on December 19th. I ordered their chili. Service was good but department of health may need to visit sooner than later again.

We order the family tossed salad at least once at week at work and split it between 3 or 4 people. It's huge and delicious. It's very reasonably priced too. There are green beans on it which is such an unusual but great surprise. We sometimes add the grilled chicken which is always cooked perfectly. The balsamic is house made and delicious. I can't speak for their other food but the cheesy garlic bread is also great!

Ordered another 50-piece chicken for this year's reunion and everything was perfect. They were just finishing up as I arrived, so everything was fresh and hot. Staff attended to me quickly and someone checked to make sure I was being tended to. Someone helped me to the car. Appreciated the improved service. Oh, and the chicken went quickly, which, like I posted in my previous review, says a lot in my large family of terrific Italian cooks.

It was ok good and decent service. Not as good as rated on different sites. Pizza was bland and toppings weren't great, crust was pretty good tho. Chicken was tasty but a little under breaded and a little dry. Overall just kinda lack luster

It is great to have a Pizza place where you can sit down and enjoy. Down side is that when it is crowded, you can draw the short straw and get a not so pleasant table. The food is pretty good. Bread is nice an fresh. The crust for the Pizza was really good. The toppings on the other need a little help. it is not that they are bad toppings, far from.

But if you are going to take the time, there needs to be some seasoning. The pizza looked amazing, but tasted flat. The apps on the other hand were flavorful and portions were great. The service was really good as well. The server was friendly and johnny on the spot.
