Downtown Cleveland is the only Rascal House open until 2:30 AM seven nights a week. That is the answer if you are reading this at midnight and do not want the rest. The other four locations all close earlier, and three of them close earlier than most people assume.
The catch with late-night pizza in Cleveland is that “open late” means different things on different nights. A location that runs to 1:30 AM on Saturday might shut at 10:00 PM on Sunday. Rascal House has five Greater Cleveland locations, and all five keep different hours. Below is the full breakdown, pulled straight from each location page, plus which one to call depending on the night and where you are.

Which Rascal House is open the latest in Cleveland?
Downtown Cleveland, at 1836 Euclid Avenue. The kitchen runs until 2:30 AM every night of the week, Sunday included, which no other location matches. It opens at 9:00 AM Monday through Friday and 10:30 AM on weekends.
University Circle is the close second. It matches the 2:30 AM close Monday through Saturday, then pulls back to 1:30 AM on Sunday. If you are anywhere near Case Western, the Cleveland Clinic main campus, or Little Italy, it is the practical pick over driving downtown.
Everything else closes meaningfully earlier, and the gap widens on Sundays.
Full hours for all five Rascal House locations
Here is every location, every night. All times are close times, and every kitchen runs the full length of the open hours.
| Location | Sun | Mon | Tue | Wed | Thu | Fri | Sat |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Downtown Cleveland | 2:30 AM | 2:30 AM | 2:30 AM | 2:30 AM | 2:30 AM | 2:30 AM | 2:30 AM |
| University Circle | 1:30 AM | 2:30 AM | 2:30 AM | 2:30 AM | 2:30 AM | 2:30 AM | 2:30 AM |
| University Heights | 12:30 AM | 12:30 AM | 12:30 AM | 12:30 AM | 12:30 AM | 1:30 AM | 1:30 AM |
| Maple Heights | 10:00 PM | 12:30 AM | 12:30 AM | 12:30 AM | 1:30 AM | 1:30 AM | 1:30 AM |
| Euclid | 12:00 AM | 12:00 AM | 12:00 AM | 12:00 AM | 12:00 AM | 1:00 AM | 1:00 AM |
Opening times vary too. Downtown and Maple Heights open at 9:00 AM on weekdays, University Heights at 9:30 AM, University Circle at 10:00 AM, and Euclid at 10:30 AM.
The two things that trip people up
Maple Heights on Sunday. It closes at 10:00 PM, which is four and a half hours before Downtown and the earliest close of any Rascal House on any night. If you are used to ordering there on a Saturday at 1:00 AM, Sunday is a completely different store.
Euclid on a weeknight. It closes at midnight Sunday through Thursday, not 1:00 AM. The 1:00 AM close is Friday and Saturday only.
Where to order late night by neighborhood
Late-night delivery is really a question of which kitchen is closest and still open. Here is how the five break down.
Downtown, the Warehouse District, East 4th, Playhouse Square, and Cleveland State. Downtown Cleveland at 1836 Euclid Avenue, (216) 781-6784. It covers the 44113, 44114, and 44115 zip codes, most downtown hotels, and the residential buildings across the central business district. This is the one to use after a Cavs game at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, a Guardians game at Progressive Field, or a Playhouse Square show.
University Circle, Case Western, Cleveland Clinic, and Little Italy. University Circle at 11316 Euclid Avenue, (216) 791-4444. The 2:30 AM close Monday through Saturday makes it the late-night option for the medical corridor and CWRU students.
University Heights, John Carroll, and the eastern suburbs. University Heights at 2255 Warrensville Center Road, (216) 397-3333. It closes at 12:30 AM most nights and 1:30 AM on Friday and Saturday.
Euclid and the lakefront. Euclid at 21050 Euclid Avenue, (216) 692-2525. Midnight most nights, 1:00 AM on weekends, covering the neighborhoods around Cleveland Clinic Euclid Hospital.
Maple Heights and the southeast suburbs. Maple Heights at 5220 Northfield Road, (216) 332-9700. It runs to 1:30 AM Thursday through Saturday, which is later than Euclid manages on a weekend, but the Sunday 10:00 PM close is the one to remember.
One practical note for suburban delivery. The addresses out in Euclid, University Heights, and Maple Heights spread across residential side streets rather than a compact downtown grid, so adding a cross street to the delivery notes helps the driver. For a downtown hotel, put the room number in the notes and the driver will call from the lobby.

Skip the search, skip the wait. Order Cleveland’s hometown pizza, wings, and subs straight from Rascal House.
How late can you actually place a late-night order?
Order before 2:00 AM if you want food from the Downtown location. The kitchen closes at 2:30 AM, and that last half hour is prep and delivery time, not ordering time. The same buffer applies everywhere: give any location 30 minutes before its posted close.
That means the real last-call times are earlier than the hours table suggests:
- Downtown Cleveland: 2:00 AM, any night
- University Circle: 2:00 AM Monday through Saturday, 1:00 AM Sunday
- University Heights: midnight most nights, 1:00 AM Friday and Saturday
- Euclid: 11:30 PM on a weeknight, 12:30 AM on a weekend
- Maple Heights: 12:00 AM early week, 1:00 AM Thursday through Saturday, 9:30 PM Sunday
Delivery windows run 30 to 60 minutes depending on volume. Friday and Saturday after the bars close is the heaviest stretch of the week across every location, so the later you order on a weekend, the more that window stretches.
Where to check hours before you order
Each location page on rascalhouse.com carries its own hours, and that is the source these times come from. Third-party delivery apps are a common source of confusion here, because they show their own ordering windows rather than the kitchen’s actual hours, and those windows are usually shorter. An app that stops taking orders at 11:35 PM does not mean the kitchen closed at 11:35 PM.
Ordering direct is the way around that. It skips a layer of routing, the restaurant sees the order immediately, and you avoid the delivery markup. It also means the hours you see are the real ones.
Holidays are the exception to everything above. Hours shift around major holidays at every location, and the posted schedule will not always reflect it. A phone call to the store is the only reliable check on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, New Year’s Day, or the Fourth of July.
Why does Rascal House stay open so late?
The late-night habit started at the original store in 1980. Mike and Fouly Frangos opened the first Rascal House across from Cleveland State University, and a campus location learns quickly that students do not eat on a normal schedule. By 1982, Cleveland State students had voted it the best off-campus eatery.
Forty-five years later, the same pattern holds at the two locations closest to campuses and hospitals. Downtown serves CSU, the hotels, the entertainment district, and the second shift. University Circle serves Case Western, the Cleveland Clinic main campus, and University Hospitals, where shift changes happen at hours most kitchens are dark.
The suburban locations follow suburban demand, which is why Maple Heights and University Heights close earlier. It is not a smaller menu, just a different neighborhood clock.
What can you actually order at 2 AM?
The full menu, which is the part that separates Rascal House from a late-night pizza-only shop. Every location runs the same board after midnight as it does at noon.
That means the Rascal House Deluxe, the pie the menu calls everyone’s favorite, with aged pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers, red onion, and mild Italian sausage. It also means Crispy Boneless Wings in mild BBQ, hot, honey mustard, garlic, or sweet chili. And it means the Baked Meatball Sub, the Hot Philly Steak Grinder, the Rascal Burger, a Greek Salad, or a Chicken Wrap, at 2 AM, on the same ticket.
If your group at 1 AM includes one person who wants pizza, one who wants wings, and one who does not want either, that is the whole argument for Rascal House over the alternative.
A few things travel better than others at that hour. Whole pies hold their heat well on a delivery drive, and pizza by the slice is the move if you are solo and just need something fast. Subs and wraps are easier to eat in a hotel room than a full pizza, which is why the downtown location sends so many of them out after midnight. Wings and Waffle Fries are the standard post-game pairing.
Vegetarian orders work at 2 AM too. Veggie Supreme, the White Pizza, the Veggie Wrap, and the Greek Salad are all on the late board, which is not something most late-night pizza options can say.
Late night and the Cleveland event calendar
Late-night demand spikes on a predictable schedule downtown, and knowing it is the difference between a 30-minute wait and an hour.
Cavs games at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse let out around 10:00 PM and send a wave of orders into the Downtown kitchen for the next two hours. Guardians games at Progressive Field run April through October on similar timing. Playhouse Square shows usually end between 10:00 and 11:00 PM. Concerts run later, sometimes past midnight.
Conventions at the Huntington Convention Center fill the downtown hotels with people who do not know the city well enough to go looking for food at midnight. The move on any known event night is simple: order before the event ends, not after.
