What customers say?

“ I loved everything about this place. We ordered a large pizza with pepperoni and Xtra sauce, large anti-pasta salad, and jojo's. The salad was very fresh and the pizza was delicious. I'm Italian so I'm hard to impress and you guys did it. Your pizza reminded me of when I was a kid and my father would take me to an old world pizza place not like today with all these commercial pizza chains popping up all over the place. I loved biting into a slice and watching the sauce ooze out through the holes in the cheese. You really brought back a lot of memories today. This was are 1st time here and I promise you we will be back. I would give your place 100 stars if I could. Thanks again for the amazing dinner and keep up the great work. PS your staff was very friendly and that's something else you don't see much today. ”

“ Guido's Original Pizza of Kent is a long standing pizza shop with arguably some of the best pizza in this area. I have come here for almost 30 years. This review is based on 2024's food and services. For major events, birthday, holiday, you name it. typically I will order a Guido's Sheet Pizza, pepperoni and sausage. The classic combo everyone loves. The pizza is large, roughly 32 slices, Sicilian style pizza. Depending on who makes it kind of determines the main outcome of the pizza. The dough can range from a little thick and fluffy, to a nice thin but manageable buttery crust with a good bite. A very thick and savory, robust pizza sauce, you can definitely taste the seasonings, sometimes the sauce can be sweet but this is in my preferred range of sauces. This time around, the pizza was extra saucy, so each bite was almost oozing sauce, making each bite perfection. The cheese was cooked fairly well this time around, it wasn't burnt, it has just enough pull with the bite. It was not the thickest amount of cheese I've had on one of their pizza's however, sometimes you do get a very thick almost mozzarella stick like layer of cheese on a middle slice which is awesome. Pepperoni's are a fairly standard blend, these are typically found under the cheese of the pizza, so if you're looking for crispy pepperoni I don't know if that's something you can ask for (i never tried.) but if you're worried about toppings being charred, you won't have that with the sheet pizza. Sausage, the sausage is one of my favorite toppings at Guido's, typically what I assume is some type of Italian sausage crumbled throughout the pizza, very strong flavor most of the time too, so if you're a sausage pizza lover I can recommend this topping 100% of the time from Guido's. Service was great this time around from placing the order in advanced to the day of picking up the food. Compared to last time, this is the spot I remember growing up with. Pricing has gone up abit since the last time I ordered a sheet pizza, its definitely a luxury to order one. I can recommend pairing this pizza with a order of 50 JoJo's. Disclosure: previous review was negative due to poor custom service and failure to make and deliver a pizza properly without a positive resolution. This was in 2022 during the middle of the pandemic. Almost 3 years older than this review. Google doesn't allow multiple reviews. So that's why the review has been updated as of 2024. -Dragon Empire Gaming ”

“ I haven't had food from this Guidos in a couple decades. When I discovered they delivered to the Stow side of the Stow/Hudson border, I ordered pizza, coleslaw, and jojo's. Everything was delicious, and I'll definitely order again. ”

“ So overall is the family-friendly environment... But, my most recent trip was underwhelming because I ordered chicken and jojos, I even ordered an extra order of jojo's, it didn't even seem like it had enough of the original order ”
