When it comes to the best pizza in Cleveland, Geraci's is a staple on any list. The restaurant has been around for decades in the same spot, an upper-middle-class neighborhood near a suburban university, so the clientele runs from elderly couples who have been eating here forever, to families with children, to college students. The pizza, for the most part, features all of the standard toppings, though you can get grilled eggplant, spinach, pineapple, artichoke hearts, broccoli and barbecued chicken on it. The menu also includes all the basic Italian restaurant dishes including steaks, veal, seafood, chicken, sandwiches and a plethora of pasta selections. Geraci's wouldn't look out of place in New York's Little Italy, with its long narrow, stucco-walled dining room lined on one side with large, black banquettes and on the other with tables (and room for maybe one and a half people to walk between them.) On weekend evenings, expect to wait for a table and don't expect super-fast service once you do get seated. But never mind: Order a bottle of cheap Italian wine and just relax.
