Panini’s Warehouse District

Andrew made my panini & it was solid. Good place for drinks & the kind of food you want to eat when you’re drunk. It gets super crowded after all the bars nearby close & people want drunk munchies. Go a couple hours before closing time to avoid that crowd

Indian female bartender is rude! Good place though. It’s relatively cheap considering it being on W 6^th. 2 $ for a HUGE slice of pizza.

Between the R&R Hall of Fame, the Browns Pro Shop and an Indian’s game my son and I stopped in for a sandwich and a beer. This is my type of place, light on the frills, cheap for what you get and delicious. Looking at the comments on how good it is after a night of drink and debauchery, I can only imagine that it must be like manna from heaven, It was damn good sober too. First sandwich I ever had with french fries, slaw and tomatoes in it and I was a little skeptical, but I now believe. Right up there with the famous Primanti’s.

Paninis is what it is, cheap alcohol, and bread sami’s I asked to have the bread grilled, and the one dude was like sure we’re not supposed to after 10 pm but we’re not very busy but can do it this time. I’m like cool. The another dude behind the counter comes by and takes the bread off and throws it in the trash. Myself and the person behind the counter were like what the fuc#. Sandwich was not as good as remembered, however it did the trick.

After drunken debauchery on west 6^th everyone ends the night with a slice of panini pizza to soak up the alcohol. I personally like the pizza sold by the slice for a mere $ 2.50. Or ask the pretty bartender for a mystery $ 2.50 beer (I scored a Brooklyn IPA) this place is awesome. It isn’t glitter and heels trendy like the other west 6^th places. This is a jeans and t shirt kind of place. It’s comfortable and unpretentious with decent prices.

Just came here on Sunday at 245pm, they are closed, no one here, no posted hours, no closed sign, nothing. Pretty damn disappointing as their hours online are noon to 3am…

Panini’s is great because you can go grab beers and have a good time with your friends here on the weekends or pop in for lunch on a week day. They have the best classic bar food — pizza, wings, chicken fingers, fries and sandwiches.
I recommend trying the Hard Salami Overstuffed Sandwich. It’s stuffed with fries, slaw and melted cheese. It is seriously out of this world!

Does Panini’s have great pizza? No.
Does Panini’s have exceptional and friendly service? No.
Does Panini’s have fun and interesting décor? No.
Do I love Panini’s? Absolutely YES!
Panini’s serves as a «support» location for your night on the town. A break between bars, a place to wait for your taxi, somewhere to put some food in your stomach to soak up the alcohol from Velvet Dog or Barley House or Liquid. Panini’s is a required part of your night out on West 6^th. :)

This place was excellent! Girls and I had Paninis, they were excellent and the bill was barely over $ 21. Will definitely make it back here when in own!

this place is repulsive. bouncers wouldn’t let the guy in our group in because he was sleeveless. and when i said that he just let girls in without sleeves he said, ‘i didnt say anything about girls’. insanely and disgustingly sexist place.

satisfies my late night pizza slice craving and love of people watching all at the same time.

Well that was awful. My husband and I went in there for dinner on a Friday night. It was so slow, just some people at the bar. We were looking through the menu and about 10 minutes later, the waitress came for our drink order. I was still looking through the menu when she returned with our water, so I asked for a couple of minutes. Well, she just forgot about us. She was standing around by the bar talking to the guys there. She saw us at one point and yelled across the bar «I’ll be right there!»… But she wasn’t. Literally after about 15 – 20 minutes of waiting and waving our arms around to try and get her attention… I walked over to get our credit card back from her. She stuttered over her words saying she forgot about us. Ugh. Won’t be returning and I wish I could give them less stars.

We went to Panini’s a couple nights over the past weekend while in Cleveland and had a good experience. We stopped by here both on a Friday night and a Saturday night for what would be considered 4^th meal after a night out on the town.
My one complaint about the Cleve is that there are no 4am places. One cab driver didn’t understand why we needed that much time to go out and some say nothing good happens past 2am but I would like to have my options just in case we start late or want to keep partying in to the morning.
Anyway, we came here twice to get some food before we went back to the hotel. Pizza is my favorite and that is what they serve here. We got a large pepperoni pizza both nights with some fries. Both were good and hit the spot for our 15 minute walk home in the snow. We never came here for the bar experience, showing up around 2am each night. They won’t serve you any drinks but the «kitchen» stays open for some time.

DELICIOUS sandwiches. My date & I got the cappicola sandwich with extra stuffing and split it, with a side of jalapeño poppers. It was plenty of food for both of us.
It was a thick layer of cappicola/​melted cheese, topped with French fries and coleslaw on soft, thick cut bread.
I’ve had this same style sandwich in a Pittsburgh staple restaurant a million times, but I’ve never been crazy about them. This sandwich blew all of the previous sandwiches away in a single shot. The coleslaw is crunchy, peppered & more on the vinegary side. The fries are thick and thoroughly deep fried… I added a little hot sauce to mine, but it was just as good without.
Thankfully, it wasn’t super busy when we stopped in (a Sunday afternoon).
This spot has earned the status of destination when I’m in Cleveland.

How can you not love this place? On my one trip there I saw a fight. A polish hooker with black teeth being pimped out by her mom. A old creeper guy named super pimp. Throw in late night pizza and subs this place gets 5 stars for me. Great entertainment.

Love their pizza! The sandwiches of course too, I like the salami or bacon egg and cheese with buffalo sauce.

Why 2 stars? Because the memories didn’t match the quality.

Today starts a very long string of reviews compiled from a year of several trips outside the Tampa Bay area. Panini’s somehow got skipped over the last time I reviewed spots on my last Cleveland trip.
In parts of 2005 and 2006 I lived in Cleveland and remember Panini’s being one of the greatest sandwiches I had ever had. I’m not sure if the quality has gone down in the last few years, or if the sandwich’s deliciousness was just aided by a few rum-​n-​cokes… but it was definitely not what I remembered.
It’s kind of like in the movie 500 Days of Summer where they show «Fantasy» and «Reality» side by side when Joseph Gordon-​Levitt goes to see Zooey Deschanel at a party.
Fantasy:
The juiciest, meatiest sandwich that causes me to act like the girls in an old herbal essence commercial. Butterflies, puppy dogs, and the Cleveland Indians winning the World Series!
Reality:
A dry sandwich, eaten in a dark, atmosphere-​less bar, served by an un-​amused waitress. My three friends sitting in a booth with me, wondering why I brought them here.

Okay, if you are going to go to Panini’s on 6^th on a Brown’s game day prepare yourself. I would give any other Panini’s location 5 stars for the sandwich alone, but this one was such a mess I couldn’t bring myself to do it. Everywhere I stepped I got toilet paper and napkins stuck to my feet, that is if I could move my feet. The floor was covered in such a sticky mess of who knows what, my feet were literally stuck. There were drunk messes everywhere by the 3^rd quarter. I guess it’s to be expected? With that said, the sandwich was amazing as always. Next time I’ll just go to the one in Westlake or West Park. that’s right, West Park is not as bad as this.

Day drinkers, let us unite at Panini’s!
I’m totally kidding… I mean, I only day-​drink on the weekends. I swear. But when I do, Panini’s is one place I love to park my tushy and sip some cold brews.
Like few other places on W 6^th, this spot is a wonderful daytime get-​away from the scenesters. No pompous menu here folks, just hearty pieces of hot, New York style pizza and huge signature sandwiches loaded with fries. Don’t come here for fancy cocktails or they’ll probably laugh at you. Scoot up to the bar and grab a cold beer or a mixed drink. Be happy.
This is also a pretty chill place to watch college football on Saturday afternoons… or just the Buckeyes. Seriously, have a few drinks, eat a huge Panini’s sandwich, watch the game and live the good life.
P. S. It’s the perfect solution to a hangover… not that I have to worry about hangovers that often. No judging.

That’s all you need to know. Nuff said.
