“ Pizza 211 has the best cheeses take you could ever get and it also has some of the best pizza you could ever have the environment in there is really cozy and the service is fast along with the noise levels not being bad at all I would give this a 5/5 stars ”
“ I remember reading an article about this place a few years ago that sparked my interest as a fan of Detroit style pizza. Even though we live about an hour away, we planned a trip to try 211 out. No disappointments here, this is now at the top of my all time favorite pizza list. Excellent sauce, fresh cheeses, generous toppings, all cooked to perfection. The place was clean and inviting and the staff was extra friendly and professional. Thanks Devon! We'll be back soon. ”
“ Detroit style is soooo good and reheats nicely the next day in the oven. Smells really good, too. So extra credit for making my house smell amazing the next day, too. 6 big slices in a tray. ”
“ Been looking all over central PA for a good Detroit style pizza. Coming from somebody who has had all the great pizzas in New York and New Haven, this stuff is legit. Unfortunately I'm a hour away, but it was certainly worth the trip. Has all the great qualities of a good Detroit style, and is surprisingly light when picked up, the way it's supposed to be. My only critique is that I wish they put a bit more sauce on it. Will stop by again when I'm nearby! ”
“ Red onion, bacon, spinach pie! Perfectly crunch crust. Very busy for the time of day visited (Saturday at 4pm). 3 gents behind the counter very focused on pushing pies out. ”
“ If you've got the hankering for pizza in Lancaster/Pennsylvania Dutch Country, look no further than Pizzeria 211. It's located in its own nook adjacent to the food hall in the beautifully converted Southern Market, which was originally built as a farmer's market in 1888. It's location is ideal for dining in and also has street access for picking up. The interiors are welcoming, and I loved the cute wall art of happy slices of round pie and Detroit style pizza holding hands. I was skeptical of the rave reviews, but was pleasantly surprised. Since the hand-tossed round pie and Detroit style pizza both looked great, we ordered both (plain). The Detroit style has always been one of those rare indulgence types of pizza that I love to try, as most pizza places don't offer it. The round pie was excellent, with a crispy bottom, yet perfectly chewy crust. It is thin enough not to be too heavy, and the sauce and cheese (with a little bit of parm on top) work in perfect harmony for a delicious and satisfying pizza. We all agreed it was great, which is high praise for a group of people that are used to some of the better New Jersey pizzerias. The Detroit style pizza was solid as well, with a somewhat crisp base and nice caramelized cheese on the edges. The ingredients were fresh similar to the round pie, but the cheese lacked just a lot bit of a zest/pop to it, and tomato sauce a bit plain tasting. It was a bit heavier than some of the Detroit style pizzas that I've tried, as most tend to be a bit lighter. Overall, it was still a decent Detroit style pie, and one that I'd order again if I had that occasional craving for that style of pizza. While the winner was the round pie, both were delicious and satisfying. A bonus is that both pizzas held up well in the taste department when reheated, which isn't always the case when a thinner pie is reheated. While these pizzas would probably rate closer to 4 stars in the NJ/NY area, they're probably as good as it gets for this part of Pennsylvania, so don't mind giving an overall 5 star Yelp rating. The guys in the kitchen were really kind and receptive to honest feedback about their pizza, showing they care about the quality of the product they serve, and took time to chat about pizza with me. I'd definitely order from Pizzeria 211 again, and recommend the business to others looking for some great tasting pizza in the Lancaster area. ”
“ However long they tell you the wait is for a pizza - is worth it. Service is friendly. Pizza is AMAZING. I will absolutely be back for more deep dish! Best in Lancaster hands down! ”
“ Came here on a Friday night and ordered pizza kinda late-ish in my opinion. The two men working there was so nice and got my order goin right away, they sent me a text when it was ready which really wasn't a long wait. Overall had a good experience and I am obsessed with the deep dish pizza crust!! ”
