Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

The best pizza I've had in Cincinnati, their Italian sausage is amazing, plus they're open till 4:00am on Friday and Saturday

Ramundos! The things you do to me! I love your herbed cheese. I love your equal parts cheese and sauce. I love your commitment to vegetables and fine spicy sausage. You politely respect the other pizza joints of cincinnati, and touch Elbows with larosas, but you know, deep down inside, that you are the holy grail of pizza. In food world, you are one the seven wonders. In American fast food, you reign king For you, I will sacrifice my lust for parking lots, and suffice to metered limited parking. I would like to entertain the other restaurants but the waft of your aromatic pizza inveigles me, knowingly. What was I thinking, assuming I could defy you? I wish I had self control, but after the third slice, I am doomed. You are my Friday night. You have my back. You don't close until 4 Am. Ramundo- let's date.
(5)Adam B.
This is my go to place, because it is down the street from home. oh yeah! sweet spicy sauce, boar head meat, in house made meatballs and sausage uncle Frank style
(5)Peter A.
Pizza sort of tasted like it was reheated. It was at a good temperature but just seemed liked it was laying under a heat lamp for a while. Also tried the Cesar salad which was okay. No better or worse and probably a little overpriced.
(2)John C.
I was not a fan of the seasoning. It completely overpowered the taste of the pizza. Too small and not much of an atmosphere
(2)Danielle P.
This is my go to pizza place, every time. The location may be small, but the flavors and pizzas are anything but! Seriously, the slices are HUGE. Which is a good thing, because you won't be able to get enough. Plus, they're open super late on the weekends which makes for a solid snack after a night out! Tip- do yourself a favor and get an order of Ramundo bites with your order, they're phenomenal!
(5)Tara P.
Use to be my favorite pizza place. I live 1.4 miles away and they will not deliver to me bc I live "on eastern avenue" yet when I lived in Grandin house...which was further they happily delivered and accepted my great tips. Very disappointed in the management. And I pay more to live here than there. Guess who lost my business.
(1)Jodi F.
Gotta tell ya, if you're looking to eat some "real" pizza, this is the place to go. The sauce is spicy and flavorful. The crust, damn near perfect. I love your pepperoni bites, Uncle Frank's captivating calzone, and those fries, those devilishly delicious little bites of potato heaven....completed by bacon and cheese. Although it's pretty convenient to where I work, it's well worth however far you think you need to drive to get it.
(5)Jim W.
BACON, BACON, ....the bacon pie is epic.....get double bacon for the full throttle pizza swine experience These guys know pie.....YUM!!!!!!
(5)Dana J.
Best pizza of my life ever. The calzones are also to die fo. I love this pizza- get it thin crust. Why are you still reading this. Go order pizza or anything from them. It's amazing.

I was looking for something to eat on Saturday night at around 11:00 in the Oakley/Hyde Park/Mt. Lookout area and there are not a lot of choices at that time. After trying a couple places and being denied because they were closed I settled on Ramundo's. I don't eat a lot of American style pizza, but when I do I always try to eat at a local place instead of a chain because I always find chain pizza places (chain restaurants in general) to not be that good. Ramundo's was a great choice for this. I called in the order and forgot to specify that I wanted New York style so they gave me the default traditional crust which is fine because I liked the pizza that I got. I ordered the Four Toppers specialty pizza and chose Uncle Frank's homemade meatballs, jalapenos, onions, and spinach. The crust was good and not tood thick and the sauce was definitely better than most standard pizza places. The next time I am looking to eat some carry-out pizza in the area I will order from Ramudo's again. It's better than all the chain pizza places and better than all the local places I have tried so far. Plus, they are open until 4:00am on Friday and Saturday nights.

Been going here since I was a kid, still loving it today. Great staff, fast service, best pizza in Cincinnati period!!!
(5)Lam D.
After some sushi at cloud nine I walked past ramundos where the aroma of pizza persuaded my stomach to stop in for a slice. Best decision I have made in a long time! I got a slice of the supreme pizza and pepperoni pizza and finished them both even though I already had dinner. The slices were huge, the crust was very crisp, the sauce was amazing (a bit of spice but not too much), and the toppings were plentiful. If you like crispy crust I've been told to ask them to cook well done. Probably my favorite pizza in Cincinnati. Looking forward to go back and trying more of their dishes.
(5)Joel W.
This little place is a treasure for the Cincinnati area, and those that live on the East side especially. Quality ingredients, professional staff, and an inviting atmosphere make this a great stop if you are in the area. My brother gets carry out from here a couple of times of month. I have been making pizza professionally for a few years and i must admit i am humbled by the experience of eating at Ramundo's and i have a lot more to learn. Makes a great stop before, during or after some Mt. Lookout bar-hopping!
(5)Ryan Z.
Very good pizza! I love the hint of spice in their sauce as opposed to the overly sweet sauce typically found in Cinci pizza chains. It's probably a tad over-priced, but it's in a different league from Pappa John's, so I'll forgive them for that. The super Italian sub is killer and is made with Boar's Head Meats!
(4)Ben D.
Are you tired of the same old pizza week in and week out? Is LaRosa's sauce too sweet for you? Is Mio's too chunky and thick? Do you crave awesome, flavorful, local, non-chain produced pizza? If so...look no further, Cincinnati! Ramundo's is the place for you! My only warning is this: beware! Once you try Ramundo's, other pizzas will pale in comparison!
(5)Stephanie O.
Why are they getting one more star? Two words: Goetta Pizza. Try it. Love it. It brings me to a whole new sense of happiness.
(4)Ed P.
Last Friday my wife and I ordered pizza from Ramundo's Pizzeria for us and her youngest brother who was staying with us for the night. She placed the order and decided to get two 18 traditional crust pizzas, one with pepperoni and mushroom and the other plain with cheese. We had the pizzas delivered and they arrived in timely fashion from the tiny pizzeria that is just down the road from our house. Both pizzas looked great upon delivery and arrived hot from the oven. I started with the pepperoni and mushroom pizza and was immediately hit with a bit of spiciness in the sauce, which I am a fan of. The sauce wasn't sweet at all like some of the other pizza places around town. The toppings were pretty good and in fairly generous amounts. I also sampled the plain cheese which was good, though in this case I preferred some toppings. The cheese used on the pizzas was good, but the crust was a little plain. I'm told that they also serve New York style pizza, so next time I will have to give that a try. Overall this is a solid pizza that I'm sure we will order often in the future.
(4)Bill f.
We LOVE Ramundo's pizza. And we live about 12 miles away, so we have to go a little bit out of our way to get our Ramundo's fix. This particular review is dedicated to our all-time fav, that is, Ramundo's BBQ chicken pizza. It is just so good, with a perfect balance of all of the flavors. Get the 24" size . . . . so that there's plenty left over, maybe.
(5)Katherine M.
I was really excited to try this - I had seen it advertised in one of those coupon books (Reach or whatever) once or twice, and in a night of hunger, I started reading the menu and became immediately interested in their Ramundo bites (peperroni and cheese rolled in pizza dough. There were pictures in the magazine. They looked oh so good.) The location is small - it's easy to drive past. My husband and I ordered carry out. We got the Ramundo bites and a pizza with black olives. We drove right past it , despite it being across from our vet's office, it's just so little. I guess they do a lot of "by the slice" and we were the only ones carrying out the pizza. It really is a tiny little place. but, if doing take out, I suggest doing what we did : I got gas and pop at the UDF, my husband walked two doors down and got the pizza. The Ramundo's bites were the best thing - a bit doughy though for my taste but a cute idea and I can appreciate that. Sadly, I wasn't a bit fan of the pizza! The crust was too doughy and thick (a bit undercooked I thought) and the rest wasn't anything special - just kind of pizza. Nothing to rave about on my side. I will say the new york slices looked a lot better than what we got..... I'd go back for that, but I always forget about this place. Especially with Lucy Blue right there with it.
(2)Amy E.
Ramundo's pizza was pretty good, but I didn't necessarily love it. I liked that the sauce wasn't sweet, but instead had a little spiciness to it. The crust was nice and crispy. Service was quick, and definitely a fine place to pick up a quick pizza. I think my expectations may have been to high, because even though it was good, it was not the best pizza I have ever had
(3)Matt C.
Officially my favorite pizza in Cincinnati (sorry Dewey's). What's more, they deliver, which, with 2.75 kids, makes a big difference to me. What sets Ramundo's apart: 1. Their sauce. It has a little heat and none of that sickening sweetness you get at other places. 2. Their crust. It's got that paradoxical crispy-chewy-doughy-toothy thing about it that any good pizza needs. 3. Their extras. Sandwiches, loaded fries, calzones, salads...all superfluous...all delicious. 4. (Pay attention, now, because this one's important.) Their sausage. It's really as good as they say it is. Get it on your pizza. Order it in a sub. Order it in a calzone. The important thing is to ORDER IT! Spicy, savory, meaty, juicy...Excuse me. So hungry...I have an order to place.
(5)Amanda C.
Ramundo's drew me in with his adorable little mustache-- I just love that logo! And when I viewed the menu, it was love at first sight! Would I like cheese fries with my pizza? Why thank you, I would. So the Uncle Frank's Special pizza and cheese fries were awesome. It was the perfect indulgent dinner for a night at home watching TV. And delivered right to my door, no less.
(4)Rose S.
My boyfriend and I were visiting Cincinnati recently and we, of course stopped by to get some delicious Ramundo's. We went with my mom pretty late at night and I accidentally forgot my purse at one of the outside tables. We were halfway home before we realized it so we rushed back and fortunately someone returned it. I was happy to get my purse back, but whoever turned it in to the employees stole my cash and I happened to be carrying a lot. :( My boyfriend called and talked to the owner who said he caught the kid on tape and he knew who it was. The next day, my mom spoke with the owner and he called the mother of the kid who stole the cash and she kindly returned the money. This shows that there really are good people in the world and I thank the owner for helping me get my money back. The food here is great and so are the honest and genuine people working at this establishment.
(5)Heather V.
Ramundo's has really great pizza. Far and away, this is the best pizza in town. The spice topper is exceptional. The amount of caramelization on the cheese is perfect. According to my husband, the sausage is out of this world and worth every dime. The quality is consistently great. If you haven't already, do yourself. a favor and try it.
(5)Ben N.
All in all, Ramundo's is a decent pizza choice by Cinci standards. It's three minutes from us, so it's not infrequently our choice on those occasions we decide to order in. Seemingly one of the few pizza places in town that flavors its tomato sauce with something other than sugar and salt, Ramundo's brings in black pepper, garlic, and oregano like lost children from the wilderness. Their use in the sauce is nicely balanced and gives the pizza a spicy kick. (Yeah, these are obligatory ingredients in most pizza sauces across the planet, but in Cincinnati, using them liberally is a small act of bravery.) And as Liz A. says in her review, Ramundo's seems to use better cheese than most Cinci pizza joints. The crust, unfortunately, is pretty typical of Cinci pies: It's usually underbaked, doughy, and short on flavor and texture. Ramundo's is essentially a take-out joint and does not deliver. There are only a couple of tiny tables with barstools, with seating for a few more on the sidewalk in warmer-weather months. The tables are usually occupied by kids from the neighborhood who are probably enticed by the fact that Ramundo's offers pizza by the slice.
(3)Alex L.
Ramundo's definitely is a place that has definitely gotten better the more I've eaten it. Not that it used to be bad but it's one of the few pizza places that I might actually crave at times. The best part about Ramundo's is by far it's temperature. Most pizza places you get pizza from the pizza is warm, which leads to the cheese being not melted or scalding. Ramundo's, though, always produces pizza that has scalding oil on it. While this is probably a function of it being made right when you order is a big factor but I'll give it big brownie points anyways. As a result the pizza might take a little longer and they have limited delivery so you'll have to pick it up at their location. They also don't have much space to sit as well so it'll be pick up and take home most of the time. I generally get half Bianco and half Uncle Franks and it's generally a good meal.
(4)C F.
OK, look, I don't like giving any establishment 1 star. But, for someone who loves (LOVES!) pizza as much as I do to not be able to finish a single slice because it's so disgusting, 1 star might actually be charitable. My experience: I went out one day to grab some lunch and thought a couple of take-away slices from Ramundo's, which I'd never tried, might be an excellent idea. And I was pretty hungry. I get home and take a bit of my slice of sausage and couldn't swallow it. It was rubbery and had a frankly awful taste. I spit it out and took a few bites of the cheese slice I got. It was a little better, but not enjoyable. I then tried the sausage again and had to spit it out. Maybe it was an unusually bad sample, but I won't be trying their pie again. :-(
(1)Peter B.
After an exhaustive search for the best New York-style pizza in the Queen City, I've finally settled on a winner: Ramundo's of Mount Lookout Square. There's a time for Chicago deep-dish and for boutique thin-crust pizaas, but if you want a slice to taste like you bought it in Manhattan, then Ramundo's is the place for you. The right style sauce and herbed seasoning help put Ramundo's at the top of my list. This is a take-out place only, so don't go looking for a venue to enjoy your meal, you'll have to provide your own!
(4)Heather C.
Raymundo's is a legit pizza spot that has aspirations of being more than your neighborhood pizza joint. They run gamut from tried-and-true pepperoni, cheese, etc as well as some more tasty veggie combos and their signature sausage, which puts them a notch below Dewey's They will sell you pizza dough if you're in the mood to make pizza at home. Plus, they deliver until about 2am, which can come in handy on occasion.
(5)Jennifer N.
Oh Ramundo's! I love your pizza! When you come here get the Ramundo bites and Uncle Fank's Spicy Sausage on your pizza! They are two of the staples from Ramundos. This pizza is good hot, room temperature or cold. The people are friendly and the service is fast! I would go here again and again....but I don't live in the area anymore. My FAVORITE local pizza joint!
(5)Jonathan D.
I need to get something off of my chest: Cincinnati pizza sucks. LaRosa's tastes like ketchup, Dewey's crust is bland and doughy, Adriatico's is okay if you're drunk (but you'll regret it later), and Pomodori's is just incredibly boring. Via Vite is okay (yet not amazing), but it's a different type of pizza. I'm from Connecticut and am very spoiled for pizza; I live 15 minutes from Pepe's, Sallys, and 1.5 hours from NYC pizza. Even small towns are littered with excellent pizza joints. Shockingly, Ramundo's tastes like something you'd actually have in the northeast and not be embarrassed about it. It's a hole in the wall with only a couple lunch tables, but it's run by great guys. They've stayed open late for me before when I got stuck in traffic, and are open ridiculously late (4am) on certain days. Their sauce is simply the best in Cincinnati - well seasoned with a slightly spicy kick to it. They use real cheese, and real Italian roma tomatoes in their homemade sauce. The crust is very good (not mind blowing good) but for not having a brick oven, it's quite good. In short, if you're looking for pizza in Cincinnati, don't even bother with anywhere else.
(4)Donald P.
Ramundo's is the perfect end to a night of drinking in Mt Lookout. They are open past bar closing time and perfectly located to walk by order a couple of slices and eat before you go home. I have only had the pizza by the slice. Let me tell you it was so good. The employees were friendly and fast. The place is small there are only a couple of tables for dinning in. Of course I didn't go there for a unique dinning experience I went to get some food and go, so it was perfect.
(4)Matt T.
Seriously I am fat kid. And fat kids know what makes a good pizza. And when it comes to Cincinnati, there are many good pizza places but few great pizza places. Ramundo's falls into the latter. This has become my favorite pizza place in Cincinnati. I just wish they were open till 4am every night. Actually, I don't wish that because then I would be more rotund.
(5)Amanda A.
LOVE Ramundo's! My boyfriend is from Louisville and when he moved up here complained that he couldnt find a pizza he liked. I suggested Ramundo's, my favorite place. Instant Love! Ramundo's is the only place we are allowed to get our pizza from anymore! Service is quick, the food is always consistent and great, our order is always right and hot(which is important) and the price is reasonable. Oh, and if you've never had the Ramundo bites you gotta try em!
(5)Ali B.
I am in constant search of the ultimate NY style slice. That search continues... Ramundos does a great job offering both traditional and their attempt at NY style thin crust. While it is thin, the similarities stop there. This isn't implying it's a bad pie, it's just not the same. The sauce is definitely a little sweeter and the crust is missing that unique bubbles char. So why four stars? Because it is still hands above many others I've had so far. Not to mention but their cheesy bread is out of this world good. The staff is friendly. The pizzas were ready as told over the phone. Oh they have a great online sign up and frequently send out coupons and free offers. I can see why some people love this place. While its not my top choice I would encourage all to try it out first and decide for themselves.
(4)Bruce Y.
I saw Ramundo's listed in the 10 best pizza places in Cincinnati. Since one on the list is among my least favorites, I was a little wary, but I decided to drive over from Carthage today to try it. Mind you, it is very difficult for me to go near Mt. Lookout and not eat at Wurst Bar in the Square, but I forced myself, and I'm glad I did. Their traditional crust is chewy and nice, but their sauce is the best part. It has some spiciness to it, so it influences the whole pizza. I definitely recommend it.
(4)mia u.
The sauce has the prefect spice! Homemade sausage and meatballs and phenomenal! Friday and Saturday late nights are a huge difference plus! Wish they were opens Sunday's :) the best pizza in Cincy! My Columbus friends request everytime they visit.
(5)Amanda T.
Favorite Cincy pizza. Love that the sauce has some zip to it and their NY thin is right on the money.
(5)J C.
Stopped here after work with a coworker after hearing so many people telling me how great it is... And everyone was right! Great sauce, great dough, great toppings, great everything! I do wish there was a better option for parking and that the location were a little bigger, maybe one day! I highly recommend trying this place. They're open until 4am on the weekend too for anyone in the area with late night hunger!
(5)Steve K.
Great pizza. I don't know what kind of spices they use, but they are delicious. Also, the bread is really good quality. They have some pretty good specials, so I recommend looking into them!
(5)tricia s.
Soooo delcious. Great sauce, fresh ingredients, great service.
(5)Patrik H.
Right off the bat, this isn't really New York-style pizza. As a native New Jerseyan, I have experience in this sort of thing. But what Ramundo's offers is a good, thin-crust, no-nonsense pizza that is amicably priced. The pizza has a bit of a zing to it thanks to the abundance of herbs. Again, not authentic NY-style, but it tasted good. The garlic bread was impeccably delicious and the menu variable. Will certainly return, but will certainly continue to hunt for Cincinnati's best East Coast pizza.
(4)Matthew R.
I moved to Mt. Lookout temporarily this summer and was excited to try some local pizza places. After reading the other Yelpers say great things, Ramundo's was my first attempt at Cincy pizza, but I was unimpressed. Ramundo's, unfortunately, doesn't stand out as a personal favorite. The pepperoni and green pepper pizza was reasonably priced and arrived hot. But eating it, I didn't have any wow moments. The cheese and sauce were ok but not spectacular, the crust good but not great. I went back for lunch a few days later to try their sandwiches and my Italian sub came out completely drenched in Italian dressing. Like, waterfalls spraying onto my clothes with each bite. Again, the flavor wasn't bad, but the overpowering quantity of tangy Italian dressing keeps Ramun-dos out of my recommend-o range.
(3)Dan M.
Yup, that's a pretty good pizza. Nice crust, good sauce, good cheese, good toppings (quality & quantity), reasonable price. We've got better options in Cincy (Dewey's), but this is a solid pizza spot. Bottom Line: I'll be back if I'm not at Dewey's.
(4)Mariana P.
Good pizza. However, having lived in Chicago for a while, I find it hard to give anything other than deep dish pizza five stars. Like Lucy Blue, this is definitely a take-out establishment. I walked in to pick up my pizza and it was SOOOOO hot in there. I felt bad for the people working there. I mean, get a fan or something! We had a coupon for $9.99 pizza and garlic bread. I am probably going to make some people mad, but I thought the garlic bread was gross. It was so greasy it made my stomach upset. On the whole though, the pizza was good.
(4)Taft S.
Eat here at least once a week. No better pizza'
(4)Brian C.
What fantastic pizza! I honestly don't know too much about this place except that it's a popular after school spot to get individual slices and that the Uncle Frank's Pizza may be the best pizza I've ever had. If you're in the area, don't miss excellent pizzeria!
(5)Logan B.
Best pizza in Mt. Lookout/ Hyde Park
(5)Evan P.
Maybe it is the nostalgia for all the old pizza joints in NY/NJ that I used to go to, but Ramundo's has a special place in my heart. The first star was given because they don't look at you funny when you ask for a whole pie. Ordering a pizza for me is second nature, and it is nice to not have to translate my order in to Cincinnatian just to be understood. When I call Ramundo's I don't have to think, I can just tell them I want to pick up a medium meatball pie and they know what I am talking about. The second star was given because they do a superb meatball pizza. There are few places in Cincinnati that understand what a meatball pizza is (most places just tell you they don't have it, or they put ground beef on the pie). At Ramundo's, they make the meatballs, cook them, then slice them and put them on the pizza. It is like taking a bite of a memory.... a meaty, succulent memory. The third star was given for their lunch slices. I love being able to pop in and just grab a slice (and yes, Lucy blue right around the corner does the same thing, but whatever). The fourth star was for the fact that Ramundo has most of Mt. Lookout under his thumb. With the pizzeria on one end and the toggery on the other, you can't help but want to love them.
(4)John L.
Quite possibly the best pizza I've ever had. We have ordered from here several times at work. Ive had the traditional crust, new york style crust and hoagies. The traditional crust is my favorite and the hoagie bread is off the charts delicious. Never been in the restaurant so I can't judge that, but it's the best pizza in town. I love Dewey's, Noce's and Mio's but this blew them away.
(5)Mike B.
Best pizza in the Nati! Regardless of what pizza you choose, it will be great! Also, the uncle franks italian sausage sub with fries is outstanding. The fries are baked in the pizza oven and are to die for!
(5)Jack K.
Best pizza in the city.
(5)Ryan M.
Ordered delivery for the first time today. I had a deal for free Ramundo bites with a specialty pizza. Both were awesome!
(5)J K.
Located half a block away from most of the foot traffic at Mount Lookout Square, Ramundo's is geared to attract the patrons of the nearby bar scene. After a couple of drinks, the temperature of the pizza and the speed at which it is delivered to you become all the more important. Ramundo's succeeds in these aspects by using pre-formed crust, and building your pizza immediately after you order it. So you literally get your pizza the minute it gets out of the oven. Prices are very reasonable too. Great place for late night munchies.
(4)L W.
Had a giant NY Style slice of pepperoni and was pleasantly pleased. Been craving and looking for a good, thin, foldable piece of pizza since moving here and happy to say I found one! Looking forward to getting a pie delivered...they have prosciutto as a topping! Now, if only they offered arugula...
(4)Liz A.
cincinnati pizza quest 2009 has arrived! liberal foodie and i are joining forces to bring you a joint review of one pizza place every month this year. why, you ask? well we were talking about it and we realized that we really do not know much about the cincinnati pizza scene, and we decided that, as responsible food bloggers, we need to remedy that asap. and who better to bring along for the ride than you, most excellent readers? cincinnati nomerati has a great series of posts called cincinnati pizza showdown so if you don't feel like waiting a whole year to get the lowdown on where to eat pizza in this city, i recommend you head over there. for january, LF and i decided to head out to ramundo's in mount lookout after we heard a rave review from our pal graham over at what i ate this week. the funny thing is that graham actually went there on my recommendation for good new york style pizza... and i had never been to ramundo's. but the ecstatic ravings of a few native new jerseyans (new jerseyites?) convinced me that there was most likely good pizza to be had there. since graham had gone there on my recommendation, i felt it was my civic duty to actually try the pie myself. LF and i went for lunch one day and met her husband there. LF and i got the thin, new york style, and the husband got the thicker regular crust. we tried pepperoni, supreme, and cheese. i liked the pizza, but i did not think it was amazing. i think the best pizza of the bunch was the pepperoni. normally i am a huge plain cheese fan, but the pizza was just a little too bland for it to be really great at ramundo's. i really liked the cheese (gooey, lots of it) and the sauce (slightly spicy and flavorful but not sweet) but i was not a big fan of the crust. it just lacked flavor. i also felt that the new york style slices were too thin. you could not hold them flat, you had to fold them. my ideal new york style pizza can be folded, but it is not a requirement. i actually preferred the non new york style slice... it was the same crust but just thicker and smaller (and easier to eat). the ambience: there is none. there are a couple little tables and a counter, that's it. i think ramundo's business is mainly carry out. but the staff was super nice and let us stand at the counter and eat even though we were in the way since both of the tables were taken. prices were great. i got two slices and a large fountain soda for $5.99 (including tax). my wallet was happy. the official cincinnati pizza quest ratings (on a scale of 1 to 5 slices, 5 slices being the best): crust - 2 slices sauce - 3.5 slices cheese - 4.5 slices topping - 3.5 slices overall - 3 slices i recommend ramundo's as a cheap place to grab a slice or two for lunch or a late night snack. the pizza is good without being great, but it doesn't try to be anything it's not, which i think counts for something.

I love that you can get just a slice, however, if you stop in around dinner, service can be a little slow at the counter given that they are working on so many orders. Pizza is really good, with a slightly spicy sauce and not too heavy on the cheese. Yum.
