Words cannot describe the AMAZING experience it was to try these pizzas for the first time. Jason Spore, the owner asked how it was and I was absolutely speechless. I've even been to Italy on a pizza tour and never had something this good. And... the owner literally trained in Italy. We had a Garlic Smasher w/ hot sausage and cup/char pepperoni, a Bianca w/ roasted red peppers and a Hot Louie w/ hot sausage and jalapeños. If you're hungry enough, you can crush a whole pie cause it's that good!!! Wow... just wow!
ippa Pizza is THE BEST pizza in Erie. Hands down. I love how everything is made so fresh, it really makes me feel like I’m in Italy! Dough and cheese are two of my favorite foods, and they make these fresh, in house, along with many other things. Absolutely incredible pizza! My favorite is the Bianca with extra black olives (I promise it’s life changing ) They also have delicious cocktails! I never walk by without stopping in. 11/10
Oh...My...Deliciousness!!! This is an Awesome looking mobile pizzeria next to George's, not loving the location but soooo worth the hassle. The employee told us all about the ingredients and specialty items with so much passion and all was backed up by the flavor of the crispy pizza and cheese sticks(Must Try Item) we ordered. It was all so yummy that mmmmmmmm was all that was said during this meal. Can't wait to go back... well worth the price for Quality Ingredients. This is where Love is in The Food!
I’ve been to Erie a few times for work and this is a must stop! This is my second time here in two days and I’ll be back next trip. It’s the closest pizza I’ve had to an actual pie in Napoli!!! Well done team!
A great experience! All pizzas are made to order, many with locally sourced ingredients baked in a modern brick-lined pizza oven. A wide variety of specialty pizzas and they'll custom make one for you too! They serve alcoholic beverages too, which is a bonus! Great service and suggestions. This is a fairly new location inside the Erie City Food Court on State Street between 5th and 6th.
This place does a great New Haven style pie. Been craving pizza and this hit the spot. I fein for pepperoni and got the peppi squared (limited time) - super delicious and they don’t skimp on the meat. 16” specialty pizza for 17 which is not bad in today’s economy. My only critique is I like a little bit more sauce on my pizza - this seemed to be lacking a little in that department. I understand it’s hard to slather on sauce and a bunch of toppings on super thin crust but I’d appreciate a little more. All in all very solid place would definitely go again.
Ippa pizza hands-down serves one of the best Neapolitan pizza in Erie. Tried their signature ' Ippa pizza ' that features hand stretched Mootzarell cheese, milled tomato, basil pesto, house made italian cream sauce and pecorino cheese. The pizza has such a good balance of flavors with the perfectly thin airy crust. I definitely recommend dining in as you will enjoy the fresh-out-of-the-oven pie. I'll go back to try their other pizzas FYI, if you order for pick up, order directly from their website (with Toast system), it would be the best deal in comparison to other ordering service.
The best pizza I’ve ever had, hands down. The crust is amazing, tomato sauce is amazing, cheese is amazing, white sauce is amazing, pepperoni is amazing. And they have delicious gelato. Seriously cannot say enough good things about this place.
