Happys Pizza

Quite frankly I don’t see what the problem is with this place. The food is good, the location is right in the middle of town and there is delivery so I love it.

Time-​Day 7pm Wednesday. For mid-​week, we waited 1 hour and 15 minutes for delivery — from Det. SW to OHC. 1 med pizza w/​two toppings and 1 large «Hawaiian» plus a 2 ltr. was $ 30. Yeah I thought that was kind of ridiculous, but it was 90 degrees outside, I have no car, and our microwave is broken. So it was either pizza delivery or walk to the convenience store at the corner of Fulton and Lorain to get overpriced junk with a side of crazy, drunk panhandlers. Well, having had a sandwich from that Happy’s location that was mediocre at best, I wasn’t expecting miracles. The pizza was passable at least. Toppings were all in place, and unlike the pizza we got from Nunzio’s and sent back, it wasn’t so greasy that it could qualify as a colonic. Overall, if I had little other choice, I’d order from Happy’s again. It just seems kind of pricey for something that wasn’t really much better than Little Ceasar’s $ 5 round. The search for good delivery pizza in OHC continues. Damn Marco’s on Memphis won’t deliver over the bridge, so for now my money’s on Guy’s pizza on Superior. (by the way fellow Unilocalers, just know how happy I am to be back in CLE writing about all these places I thought I might never call home again!)

Well, screw you guys.
Thanks to current management, you’d get zero stars if I could give that. Three bad orders in a row either with things missing or undercooked (despite requesting well done) and then on a Wednesday night they didn’t even pick up the phone. I’m done.

This is a horrible business. Had 2 fradulant transactions from this company on my credit card. They don’t have security and aren’t checking for things such as signatures on credit cards. Over $ 100 I had stolen from me that I had to fight to get back because of this business’ bad securirty, plus the pizza looks cheap anyhow.

I’ve always had a good experience here. For fast-​food pizza, this place is tops for me. I always do carry out, so I can’t speak to delivery, but my orders are done fast and correct, and the service has been fine. It’s not fancy, artisan pizza, it’s fast-​food pizza. As far as fast-​food pizza, the price to quality ratio is great. I can get a large pizza with a few toppings for super cheap. I usually order my pizzas with extra cheese and a double bake (well done) and it comes out perfect every time. I’m super happy with this joint.

This place is awful. I live three minutes away and wait at least an hour for my order each time. When I get my pizza it looks like it has been sitting under a heat lamp all day. It’s so disappointing because I’ve had great Happy’s Pizza before. Someone needs to come in and take control of this place. There is no excuse for running a garbage business. It’s time to stop making excuses and put this place out of business. Stop allowing people the belief of entitlement.

Who could give this a good review? For the first couple of months the place was ok, food was cheap and pizza is clearly premade frozen. Georgios is not. The only good food here is fried. Their staff consists of rude teenagers. This is pretty much the formula for every Happys. Garbage.

RUN AND RUN FAST! I get it. I realize fast food is fast food. Really I do. I have an iron stomach and take into consideration that the people preparing these meals for us either don’t care of just don’t know any better. Fine.
Having said all that… HAPPYS PIZZA at this location, is ridiculous. I have given this place FIVE chances to redeem themselves. Each time was delivery and each time it was AT LEAST 20 minutes late and something was either missing or wrong. The last meal was comped by the manager (Mike) and was then WRONG again… even with notes on my account supposedly putting some extra attention on the order. When I complained, I was laughed at and talked down to by the idiot they put in charge of the restaurant. VERY GHETTO and VERY HORRIBLE!!! STAY AWAY!!!

My first contact with Happy’s Pizza did not bode well for a good experience. When they first opened their Detroit Avenue location someone came buy and put a delivery menu on my front door. I live off of Detroit Avenue. In Lakewood. Since we basically live on the same street as the restaurant and someone from Happy’s placed the menu on my door, I naturally assumed that they would deliver to my house. Wishing to try them out, I called and was told they don’t deliver to Lakewood (which is five minutes from them) to which I pondered why did you put menus on every door in a town you don’t deliver to? But I digress.
Last night I was in the mood for something new and had just got (another) menu for Happy’s, this time in the mail. I decided to order the deep dish pizza with an order of BBQ rib tips. I even decided to take the five minute drive to pick it up.
My order was ready when I arrived and I headed home (skeptically) to try it out.
I have to admit I was not that disappointed. I reminded me of a slightly more robust Donato’s (which I like) and definitely quenched my appetite for some new pizza. The rib tips were hot and sloppy (that’s a good thing) maybe slightly overcooked and not very tender, but not bad for a «fast food» kind of place.
They have a very large and eclectic menu and very reasonable prices, some of the deals are downright crazy. I am sure I will repeat again if I get tired of the few places to choose from in Lakewood.

We ordered from the new Happy’s on Puritas. My boyfriend loved his rib tips and for $ 8, we found it to be a good value. My veggie sub was pretty bland and lacking in veggies. Great sandwich if you like just bread with little filling. We’ll probably not be regulars as there are many other pizza/​sub places that offer better food in the area. Not the worst food we’ve ever had though.

A midwest chain that is much better than most of the national pizza chains. Great combo deals. The pizzas are just above average but the extensive menu and late hours make up for it. The garlic BBQ XL whole wings are my secret guilty pleasure.

Think… Polands Great Depression. They were feasting compared to this joint…

I don’t know! Happys Pizza, what do I say its not bad but its not the best. First thing I have to say is the menu is so big for a place that has pizza in it’s name, I can understand the wings and even the sandwiches. But shrimp, fish, burgers, fried chicken, hot dogs (or as they call them Happy Dogs) etc.
And with such a big menu I know that about 100% of it is all frozen food. Yes even the pizza tastes like it was frozen. But I did get some things you might not find on a pizza shops menu, like fried shrooms and chili cheese fries. First of all the shrooms had heavy breading and watered down ranch dressing. The fries are good, but something you can do at home with some frozen fries a can of chili and some frito lay nacho cheese sauce.
I also ordered a steak sub (that came with fries and about ½oz of cole slaw, that I did not touch), and some wings with two diffrent flavor sauces. I opened the box that the sub came in, and the thick white styrafoam container the wings came in and just like everything else frozen food. The sub bread was nice and soft and was still soft even after a good heating in the micro. But it was nothing but pressed together beef, with un-​cooked red onions and un-​melted cheese, and super sweet steak sauce.
The wings, well… again something they cooked out of a bag from out of the freezer. Heavy breading I couldn’t find any of the chicken on the bone, and when I could it wasn’t much. The sauce was ok but because of the heavy breading on them you couldn’t taste the sauce. The sauce in the bottom of the container was good if only it could have made the breading taste that way.
So maybe I will order Happys pizza again if my freezer is empty, and if I need super fast delivery of food. But other than that I will keep my money in my purse. And cook even on the nights I don’t want to.

This place sucks. Remember the pizza at Marc’s funtime? It has survived and migrated to the ultra-​ghetto Happy’s pizza. First reviewer was spot on.
Nothing to see here folks.

There’s an interesting adage among men that goes, «sex is like pizza, there’s no such thing as bad pizza.» Well I’m not going to ruminate on the former right now, but the latter myth about the pizza has been completely debunked by Happys Pizza.
I’ll start with the highlights. I was drawn into the store by an empty stomach with a pizza craving, the «neon light sign on acid» Happys Pizza pizza parlor décor, and the promise of a large specialty pizza for a mere $ 10 bucks approximately. It gets better. Three «barely-​legal» young ladies happily welcomed me into the well-​lit, hiphop-​music filled point-​of-​sale. These things are what earned my one star rating but sadly, from there it was downhill…
Barely after I entered my order, paid, and retreated to the window sill seating, I noticed just how «Happy» the staff really was to be there. The counter staff immediately began texting, loudly gossiping all their business, and actually serving themselves soda in paper cups directly from the 2-​Liter customer cooler behind the register. I half expected them to put the half-​drained 2-​liter bottle back in the cooler when they were done, to keep it cool.
My comfortable perch on the window sill allowed me to also observe the staff preparing the food. Things weren’t quite so festive back there. First of all, the ethnic divide was stark and more than obvious. Trust me, walking from the counter to the back seemed tantamount to walking into a different neighborhood or maybe even a different country… and they were consistently working. I was p!$$@d for them, so I could imagine how they felt. I was just hoping at this point that they weren’t taking it out on my pizza.
Surprisingly the pizza was finished on time, although I wouldn’t have known it if I was relying on the counter staff. I had to interrupt one of the girls who was on her cell phone when I realized the box that had been placed on the rack behind the counter had my name on it. Without interrupting her convo she handed me my dinner… she did give a big smile and mouth the words «Thank You» tho.
Now for the food. I’ll make it quick. I’ll just say that the pizza was like nothing I have tasted before… not in a good way. The pizza sauce was a weird kind of sweet, much sweeter than any I have ever tasted… makes me suspect ketchup, and the crust was very bland… and I am a crust guy. I got a vegy specialty pizza and we’ll just say the veggies were nowhere near the level of let’s say a Dewey’s, let alone a Papa John’s or other chain. They seemed canned. What should I expect from a $ 10 specialty pizza right? I couldn’t eat more than one piece. I didn’t bother to take it back.
For a second, I was a bit worried about my unique name attached to this review and having to take on an alias if I ever went back to Happys, then I had to check myself… I’m never going to be going back to Happys.
