Guido's Pizza Haven

On Chillicothe Road in Chesterland, Ohio, Guido's Pizza Haven has been doing things the same way since 1962 — and that's precisely the point. This is a family-owned, cash-only, BYOB Italian restaurant that has never needed gimmicks. Three generations of loyal customers walk through the door because the food is genuinely that good.

Walk in and you'll understand immediately why guests say they feel like they've been transported somewhere else. The place has a distinct, old-school Italian-American energy — warm, busy, and run like a well-oiled machine even on the most packed Friday nights. The staff keeps everything moving without sacrificing the quality or the atmosphere that regulars have come to love.

The pizza is the star: thin, properly cooked, topped with the right amount of cheese and toppings — guests call it "phenomenal" and say it may be their new go-to. But Guido's is far more than pizza. The pasta lineup is extensive — from a simple spaghetti with marinara to Fettuccine Alfredo and Baked Lasagna. The entrees go deep: chicken and veal parmigiana, lemon chicken, chicken and veal Milanese, stuffed eggplant, and the Veal & Eggplant Combo — every entree served with pasta, rolls, and romano cheese.

And then there's the catering operation. Guido's will come to your hall, set everything up — food, drinks, everything — and make your event run flawlessly. Guests who've used them for birthday parties rave about the experience. This is a restaurant that has been part of Chesterland's community fabric for over 60 years. That kind of loyalty is earned one plate at a time.
