Rascal House | Food & Pizza Delivery and Carryout

On this second day of April I find myself looking back to the year 1980. Sports, music, movies and the birth of a brand-new pizza place in Cleveland, Ohio. There are more than 10,000 ways to enjoy Rascal House, probably closer to a million, but I stopped after 18 because I got really hungry. This happens every […]

One of my favorite things about college basketball is seeing how far fans are willing to go in order to distract opposing teams from making free throws. We all remember the Duke Speedo Guy, for better or for worse, from 2003. And Arizona State’s “Curtain of Distraction” in recent years has taken the game to […]

It was the best day of my life. Just me, my boat and my copy of The Old Man and the Sea. Outside it was cold, blustery and snowing sideways. Not fit for man or beast! as W.C. Fields (and my dad a few thousand times every winter since 1967) would say. I was in […]

Ah, the Super Bowl. The Big Kahuna. Four Quarters of Crazy. Or, as I like to call it, Mouthwatering. Sure, you have the commercials that have everyone talking on Monday. And the best players in football etching their way into Super Bowl history. But what is everyone really thinking about while this is all going […]

If you’re like me your place remains in a state of shock at least through the middle of January from holiday parties. Remember Jake’s living room in Sixteen Candles? I bet some of you haven’t even taken down the tree yet! But I’m here to tell you that you don’t need your Susan Powter workout […]

In 1987 Cleveland hosted a New Year’s Eve Run. An untimed 3.1-mile fun run (with costumes) that started at midnight on East 12th Street, headed up Euclid toward Public Square, and winded around various streets until everyone finished on East 12th. Back then I was a member of the CSU cross country and track teams, […]

The dream returns every year around this time. Although I’m sound asleep, I rise at 5 on Christmas morning and tiptoe quietly, like I’m 4 years old, down a creaky stairwell to our living room. Where our Scotch pine, adorned with ornaments made of genuine Rascal House gift cards has sprouted dozens of Rascal House […]

Cyber Monday, Black Friday’s high-tech cousin, takes place on December 2nd this year. This is a great way to cash in on sales without having to leave your device. Because, as we all know, standing in line outside a store all night for a big screen TV is so yesterday. Alright, let’s see what everyone […]

It was the day after Thanksgiving, 2017. Black Friday. We took the kids downtown to see the lights. It was a day that followed perhaps the best Thanksgiving ever. One with homemade stuffing, mashed potatoes and Great-Great Grandma’s gravy that came here from Poland nearly a century ago. It remains a secret recipe under lock […]

Today is National Eat with A Friend Day. Since Rascal House is best shared with friends, we’ve kind of cornered the market on this holiday. What’s that, your friends are mad at you? Something about not picking up the tab at a nameless eatery three weeks ago because you just didn’t feel like it? Nothing […]

November is the month for giving, being thankful and writing blog posts with so many 1990s references you’ll be telling us to Cut. It. Out. In fact, Rascal House likes November so much we stretch it all the way to December 31st. Our award-winning catering, if I can speak figuratively for a minute, is a […]

Remember the thrill of trick-or-treating when you were a kid? How you couldn’t wait to get home and pour that entire bag of hard-earned goodies onto the shag carpet of your parents’ living room floor? (Before going all Augustus Gloop on it!) Kind of like that box of Rascal House pizza you now hold in […]

The other day I said to a friend, “Quick, what’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear National Dessert Day?” He said, “Sahara.” I said, “National Dessert Day, not National Desert!” He looked me square in the eye and told me once again, “Sahara.” “Stop fooling around, I’m being serious!” I said. […]

When I was a kid my family didn’t agree on everything. Take dinner for instance. When Dad asked us what we wanted, half the room chanted PIZZA! PIZZA! PIZZA! While the other half yelled TERIYAKI THAI CHICKEN! TERIYAKI TAI CHICKEN! TERIYAKI TAI CHICKEN! We were a house divided. But Dad simply smiled and headed to […]

September is National Chicken Month and we know what you’re thinking. And yes, a See ‘n Say that features all of our chicken menu items talking would be nice. We can only imagine how this might change the world. But we can’t have everyone ages 12 months and up walking around out there pulling a […]

In honor of National Cheese Pizza Day, which is celebrated every year on September 5th, we thought it would be nice to let a slice of our cheese pizza say a few words. But we should warn you. She’s quite dramatic for someone who doesn’t spend the entire time she’s inside our oven staring at […]
