BOGO Pizza 15320 Detroit Ave., 216 226-8888

Post by Mark Crnolatas »

THIS IS AN UNSOLICITED ENDORSEMENT.

Recently our family discovered BOGO's and all we can say is WOW.
Being a self-proclaimed pizza, breadstix, and associated menu items afficianado, I feel it's my civic duty to let everyone know about this place.

1) They use "natural" ingredients. I'm not sure what that means but who cares.
Their dough is fantastic. They have a dough called "Miracle Crust", Traditional and Simply Thin dough for the pizzas. Miracle Crust is whole wheat, and according to them, their biggest seller.
YAYYYYY. It is so good it hmmm....awesome.

2) Sauce: A delightful blend of all the good things that make a light but tasty sauce.
Again, awesome.

3) World Gormet Pizzas. You just have to go get a menu for these. Far too numerous to mention here, but they get 5 star WOWS.

4) The menu is extensive, and there is something for everyone with most types of tastes.

5. Service is excellent and ......They deliver!!!

Summary: Since I'm the self-proclaimed Pizza place "PHD" (Pizza Has Dough)
and am in no way related to BOGO's, in any capacity, I deem this fine establishment
***** 5 stars and I'm still working through the menu.

To paraphrase a TV slogan of the past, "TRY IT, YOU'LL LOVE 'EM".

This ends the Pizza and that kind of "stuff" alert system by

Mark,

Thank you for posting this. I have gone there a couple times now and been really impressed with the quality of the product. They have wonderful customer service as well.

Last night I ordered a few pizzas and when I went to pick them up the manager told me he just realized they had forgotten to make the one without shrimp. He offered to remake it and give me two for free or I could take the one and get two future pizzas at no cost.

I have had other pizza shops mess up in the past and none have ever been so generous.

PizzaBOGO - great pizza at a great price, run by true professionals.

Pizza Bogo is an interesting place and interesting business idea.

When I first heard about this, from another Pizza Bogo shop I called, the world headquarters
of Pizza Bogo, in Akron, Ohio and got a recorded message. I mentioned I was interesting in
opening up a Pizza Bogo, and would love to see a business plan, and some information. It
never came. I called back a couple times, and nothing but the recording.

So I called the Kamm's store and got the cell number of the owner. And it was a fascinating conversation, about how they use quality ingredients, bringing high quality pizza to families
at a fair price for all. Understatement!

I then asked how many stores do they have, and here was the shocker. The world's fastest
growing pizza chain had 3 stores. But as it was explained, that is a 300% growth. True
enough.

Now here is the kicker. If you order online, you can get a large pizza, 12" 8 slices for $10,
no matter what you want on it. Doubt me, ask for triple meat $10. Ask for everything times
two, $10! Now you might expect it to be cramp, but it is not, fresh basil, fresh tomatoes,
quality pepperoni and veggies, sauces are pretty good.

But it gets crazier. Order that same pizza on Tuesday or Wednesday and it is only $5!

These are prices designed to keep them busy, and to kill the competition. (Tommy's)

Now what is interesting the top 4 pizza places in town all have unique tastes. They range
in price for a large deluxe from $10 - $19.09 with some combination going over $20.
Top three in order last time we checked was, Angelo's, Nunzio's, and Dewey's in that order.

Fast, courteous, good quality, I see more pizza places falling to the wayside.

Speaking of, one day while driving around we saw a pizza sign that said, "Large Pizza 2-toppings
$3.99." So we stopped and order. I have to tell you, what we got was a gorgeous pizza.
Worthy of photos. and no taste!

What's your favorite?
