Wow, what an amazing food experience!! After moving to Ohio recently this is for sure the best overall pizza spot we’ve been to! The ambiance is lovely and cozy, we got the Honey BB pizza which was unique with a great crust! The chicken Parmesan panini was thick and so flavorful, the chicken was so moist, not just a dry thin cutlet like most places have. The veggie rolls were huge and flavorful, sauces were fantastic! Customer service was 10/10, we will for sure be back!

Garden of eatin' banana peppers and 3 piece slow roasted drumsticks with peach bourbon BBQ. Yalls wings are superior. They're huge and delicious! Was not expecting them to be the size of my hand for 6. Great deal and the pizza was just as good. Only thing I'd suggest is for thicker, less watery sauces. They don't hold flavor well and are very thin. I was excited to try your ranch love you!! Xoxo

I recently [2/2025] visited Merriman Valley Pizza and it was an incredible experience! From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming and attentive. The ambiance was cozy and perfect for a relaxed meal. The highlight, of course, was the pizza. The crust was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the toppings were fresh and flavorful. I tried the Honey BB, Garden of Eaten, and the Veggie Rolls, all of which were absolutely delicious. The red pepper ranch sauce for dipping was great! I also appreciated the variety of options available, including some unique and creative combinations, a lot of them "chef inspired". Overall, they exceeded my expectations and I can't wait to come back! Highly recommend to all pizza lovers!

Sad to admit but have known this is under new ownership but was stubborn to try again. Live in Valley and just disappointed with options. Ofter travel to Pierre's in Kenmore for a great Pizza. With that being said, we are NY style fans so out of curiosity ordered regular and thin slice. Both were amazing. Thin crust (smaller pizza in Photos) was damn near perfect. The original crust, while thicker, was light, soft and perfectly cooked. Sauce to us was also a star. Sweet, but not to sweet and great flavor and spice. Side note, the peanut butter pie lives up to the hype. Rich for me but kids devoured it. Will be back to try wings and sandwiches. Can't wait to dine in with the garage door open this spring. So excited to have legit spot so close to home. Support Local!

I took my hubby here for his birthday because I heard they have peanutbutter pie. He loves all things peanutbutter. It did not disappoint! Best I have ever had! We also got the butcher block pizza. This thing had a pound of meat on it! The addition of brisket to this pizza gave it an umami that was perfect. The crust was actually pillow-y, you won't be leaving that crust on your plate! The service was great. They were super sweet to us and even put a candle in hubby's pie! Definitely a place worth traveling to as they are not your typical corner pizza shop! We will be back for sure, thanks for seeing so sweet!

I’ve ordered here 3 times now and it’s perfectly cooked pizza every time. Sauce is great and toppings are good but the crust is amazing. This is not a conveyor belt pizza. Nice caramelized bottom with a little flop. Price is reasonable for the quality. Definitely best of the valley

The pizza was really good. I had the street corn, and one much better once it cooled down, I will be eating there again, with fresh ingredients

I haven't been there yet, but I will start. Anytime I order, this place never fails. The pizza has got to be my new favorite. Especially since they have spicy cheese. I submitted a Pic, the fresh cut jalapenos on my pizza sent it over the top. Keep up the good pizza!
