    Saw a lot of good reviews on this place and decided to check it out. Ordered a half pepperoni/mushroom and mushroom/cheese. Also ordered the garlic/cheese bread. They have it set up for one person at a time in the building. Pizza had a slightly spicy sauce on it with a ton of cheese. The pizza had old world pepperoni that was nice and spicy. Garlic cheese bread also very cheesy but a little burnt around the edge. Staff was very friendly and brought the pizza out to my car. Place was super busy at the time. Will return just to check it out in some normal times.

    This has been my favorite pizza place since I've know what pizza is, literally I am 26 years old and this is still my go to for pizza. I live downtown now and will make the 20 minute drive just to have Emilios and it is my birthday dinner every year. Best pizza in town. Possibly ever.

    This was our first time visiting Emelio's. Setting outside on the patio with the umbrella open, 77゚,with just a little bit of sun popping through the fence. Our visit was a delightful and pleasant atmosphere. Order a meat pizza and salad, and let me end here by saying YUM! P.S. the staff was friendly with smiling faces. Make a point to get here soon. 🍽.

    Can't say more. Great place for pizza, salad & beer. They've been around for decades with the same excellent food! A must go for me when I'm in the Columbus area! Plus we had a fabulous waitress, unfortunately I forgot to get her name. She made our visit even better. Great accommodating staff!! A fun time!!

    Super small pizza place. Wait staff was great with out large group. The pizza is thin crust, which I prefer and was incredible! I ate double what I usually do because it was just that good! :)

    The pizza is flavorful. Crust is crunchy and good. Pepperoni and cheese are really flavorful and good quality. The sub was just a regular Italian sub and the Special Salad was um, unique.They put cooked pepperonis in it and their Italian dressing is house made. A little to strong of a vinegar taste for me but allot of people love it.

    Truly the best Pizza in town. The "Special Salad" is exceptional. The staff and owners are truly wonderful. They pour a really good drink too.

  • 5/5 Karen B. 2 years ago on Google
    1st time at Emelio's. Family pizza place since 1960. That should say how great the place. The pizza thinned crust,crunchy and have many toppings. And can't 4get the salad,that is worth the trip. U know the dressing is on the salad,hard 2 describe smooth good taste. The servers r tops,the service is excellent. Emilio's has a long bar,looks like variety of wines,beer and mixed drinks.. Great friendly experience.definitely will b back. Not soon enough Thank U.xoxo

    We come to Emelio's every year to watch Ohio State beat Penn State. They were really packed this year, which was enjoyable - more people to cheer with. Their special salad and pizza are always 100%.

  • 5/5 Bob B. 4 months ago on Google
    I ate here a few years ago and it was delicious. I was telling a coworker about it today and remembered I never left a review. It was one of the best pizzas and salad I've ever had. Will definitely eat there again someday.

  • 2/5 Lou T. 5 months ago on Google
    Heard so much about this place we decided to try it. How disappointing it was!!! The small cheese pizza for the kids was fine. Ordered the all the way pizza and it was EXTREMELY spicy! So much so my guests couldn't eat it. Had to order from another pizza shop just to have a decent pizza. I don't recall seeing a message that stated how spicy this 'all the way pizza' would be but I would avoid it at all costs!!

  • 5/5 Sheryl C. 6 months ago on Google
    We have been coming to Emilio's for years and the food is always good. We were in yesterday evening to amazing service and had the most delicious pizza and special salad we have had so far! Compliments to the Saturday Evening Staff! Wonderful job!!

  • 5/5 Tierney R. 7 months ago on Google
    Emelio's has never let me down on quality of food, service, and atmosphere. Maria was extremely sweet. 10/10 will recommend. It's.mine and my sister's favorite.

  • 5/5 johnny r. 8 months ago on Google
    The best pizza on the west side of columbus I had a large pepperoni and a large works. And several beers with a few family members

  • 5/5 Mike J. 10 months ago on Google
    Salad and pizza were as good as they come! Server Maria was great. Thanks for the CBC IPAs. 😊 My one complaint (one star for atmosphere) has nothing to do with your business. It is the fact that someone in the only other group of apparently local yokel members of the NRA on the patio table beside ours was telling ethnic Mexican jokes on June 10, 2023 at around 2:30 pm. That sucked. Please post something that will let your customers know that all are welcome. Emelio's is a westside go-to for me.

  • 5/5 Dave W. 1 year ago on Google
    Still hands down the best pizza in Columbus. I’ve been going there for about 35 years and have never been disappointed. The special salad may not be a vegetarian’s dream but it’s right up my alley. You can never have too much pepperoni.

  • 5/5 Sandy R. 1 year ago on Google
    So many who are also members of a pizza lovers group on Facebook have recommended this place, so I had to give it a try. I can't say I was sorry I did. Wow! The pepperoni pizza was delectable! The pepperoni was crispy and curling at the edges--just the way I like it. I also ordered the regular salad. At first I thought it was overdressed, and I am one who enjoys a little dressing with my lettuce and not the other way around. Although lots of dressing, it was actually a perfect lettuce to dressing ratio. I will be going back soon. Good job!

  • 5/5 Julia H. 10 months ago on Google
    I have never had a bad experience here! Are pepperoni and mushroom pizza has always been right on! Service is amazing! Oh and don't forget if you get to get there freaking amazing salad oh my God you can go anywhere else for salad! Thank you guys!

  • 5/5 Steve D. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything about this little gem 💎 is a ok but there's no place to wait for your order except outside and no restroom in case you need to relieve yourself while waiting but for me these are things I can deal with to have snappy service and great pizza and subs.

  • 5/5 Keith 1. 1 year ago on Google
    Incredible pizza, awesome staff, great local chill vibes.

  • 4/5 Andrew J. 1 year ago on Google
    We took a group there, eight guys for lunch. One big salad and three large pizzas were just short of what we needed so we got a fourth and took half home. The staff was really nice, there was plenty of space for us on the patio.

  • 3/5 DeandinJ N. 1 year ago on Google
    Seems like a great place, but I was a bit taken aback considering when I entered the door the person in which approached me automatically asked me if I was there for an order to be picked up. Why was that? I did have a mask on and I would look as though I have a nice amount of melanin, but why couldn't I have come to dine in, maybe have a drink and feel welcome? I may have been way off base, but that's the vibe I kinda got.

  • 5/5 Erica F. 1 year ago on Google
    We dined here today and the service was great. We came in and there were no seats available inside, but they accommodated us on the heated patio. It was a good vibe! The salad was amazing and pizza 10/10 I would highly recommend eating here!! Delicious!

  • 5/5 Renee V. 1 year ago on Google
    Eating in the restaurant is the best! God service. Fresh, hot, delicious pizza. The super salad is the best. Fried pepperoni and provolone slices cut up.

  • 5/5 Jake P. 2 years ago on Google
    Hands down best pizza in the area . Special Salad if very special. Best Italian salad I ever had . If you haven't tried it do yourself a favor,you won't be disappointed.

  • 3/5 George B. 2 years ago on Google
    Crust was hard. The pizza didn't have much flavor. The food wasn't bad by any means, it just wasn't great. I wouldn't come back on my own but would join other people there if I had to.
