I didn't even know this place existed... probably due to the huge bridal show next door and the gas station in the other side... but I ended up here for a friend's wife's birthday dinner. Absolutely scrumptious. I had the Ragin' Cajun sandwich which was amazing. Everyone at the table devoured thier pasta. And the appetizer pizza thing was so good. They even had a gluten free pizza option that one of the ladies wouldn't stop raving about. Don't forget the back patio. I wouldn't have known it…

This is easily one of the best NY style pizza places that I've ever had! I highly, highly suggest the XL Sicilian pizza. The Hawaiian BBQ and Deluxe pizzas are also really good.

Absolutely LOVE Longo's!! The food is great, the staff and men who work the pizza and pick up area are hard working and very personable. I'm a West side Cleveland resident and Longo's is one of my favorite places to visit in Mentor. The chicken Madison is to die for!! Your outside bar area is so relaxing in warm weather and the ENTIRE waitstaff is terrific!! Keep up the great job!! And your pizzas are great!!

My favorite pizza place hands down. I was with a major pizza snob from NJ too and even they liked it which says a lot.
