    Been a staple in Massillon forever. If you are from here you probably love it and if you are visiting you got to try it. Best pizza in the area imo.

    Drove from Chardon Oh to just try the pizza. I ordered double cheese and my fiance ordered a double crust pizza. Pizza was delicious more importantly the crew in the restaurant is amazing, our car had issues and we had to wait for a flatbed to come get us. The employees were very understanding and helpful while we waited. While the pizza was awesome. I will go back for the individuals that make the pizza

    Was really excited to try Kraus on Amherst Rd in Massillon today! Got a small cheese pizza. Photos are attached below all in all it was a decent pizza. The staff is so nice there!!! Was super clean inside and had an amazing aroma. Sauce is sweet and tangy, cheese was good, crust was cooked perfectly! Definitely worth trying!

    Best in all Tiger Town U.S.A. When you say who wants pizza, Mom Krause,s name is shouted out loud and clear. Growing up not too far away from the store on Ohio Ave. N. E. the aroma of sauce, pepperoni and cheese and sausage filled the air. My child hood was filled with collecting old glass pop bottles and turning those return into cash for a pizza from that very famous address in all of Massillon Ohio. When you walk in the door you just gain weight from the smell of what is baking in the oven. I am 61 years young and I have enjoyed all the menu items for many years. I joke with my Doctor,s when giving blood, ninty-two percent Krause sauce, eight percent of what ever, what can you say,perfection is perfection.

    What can I say, my dad used to bring me here when I was a kid visiting family in Ohio. Went back for the first time in probably 20 years. Tasted just as good as I remember

    Great food! Pricey but delicious! The younger folks there are kinder than the older lady and gentleman. I was in there and told the older gentleman that the sub I ordered the day before was wrong so I was making sure that the new one was correct and he said "well it is right today" he was short and rude no apology or anything but we still eat there and the food's great.
