University Heights exists because of John Carroll University. The city was incorporated as Idlewood Village in 1908 and took its current name in the mid-1920s, when John Carroll was expected to move in. Rascal House has been Cleveland’s hometown pizza shop since 1980, and this location brings the full menu to the campus and the neighborhoods around it.

What is on the menu at Rascal House University Heights
The University Heights location serves the full Rascal House menu: hand-tossed pizza, oven-baked subs, wraps, fresh-tossed salads, wings, burgers, pasta, sides, and party trays for catering. Everything is made to order.
That range is the point, and it matters more near a campus than almost anywhere else. A group of students ordering at 11 PM rarely agrees on one thing, and one Rascal House order covers the person who wants a pie, the person who wants wings, and the person who wants a salad.
Signature pizzas
The Rascal House Deluxe is the pizza the menu calls everyone’s favorite, with aged pepperoni, sliced mushrooms, green peppers, red onion, and mild Italian sausage on 100% pure provolone. The Super Deluxe loads on meatballs and hickory smoked bacon, finished with Parmesan and a Six Pepper Blend.
Pizza ala Greco is worth calling out at this location specifically. It is a white pizza with kalamata olives and a feta and Parmesan blend, brushed with garlic and olive oils, and University Heights reviewers name it more than any other pie on the board. Meat Lovers, Veggie Supreme, Buffalo Chicken, Texan Bar-B-Q, and Chicken Bacon Ranch fill out the specialty lineup.
Build Your Own comes in Medium (8-cut), Large (12-cut), and BellyBuster (16-cut), with nine meats and nine veggies. Pure beef pepperoni and pure beef topping are both on the board, which gives anyone who does not eat pork a real option beyond plain cheese.
Subs, wraps, and sandwiches
The Baked Meatball Sub is the item most likely to convert someone who came in for pizza: baked Italian meatballs, thick hearty marinara, and melted provolone on a hearth baked roll. The Hot Philly Steak Grinder is the other hot sub worth knowing, with roast beef, grilled mushrooms, onions, and melted provolone.
The Italiano, Turkey, Ham and Cheese, Roast Beef, and The All American cover the cold deli lineup. The Rascal Burger is a half pound pure beef sirloin patty, and the Rascal Crispy Chicken Sandwich is a whole seasoned chicken breast. Four wraps come on whole wheat flatbread, including the popular Chicken Wrap and the Italian-meat Roman Wrap.
Wings, sides, and salads
Crispy Boneless Wings and bone-in Buffalo Wings come in 6, 10, 20, and 25 piece sizes, in mild BBQ, hot, honey mustard, garlic, or sweet chili. Chicken Tenders are available in 3 and 5 piece.
Greek Salad with feta and kalamata olives, plus Caesar, Chef, Char-Grilled Chicken, and Tossed Garden salads cover the lighter end. A Family Size Salad serves 4 to 6 with dressings, plates, and utensils included. Garlic Sesame Breadsticks are the standard add-on, alongside Waffle Fries, Garlic Toast, and Cheesecake or fresh-baked cookies.
How pizza delivery works in University Heights
Ordering is fastest online at rascalhouse.com, where you pick your items, enter your address, and pay before the order reaches the kitchen. Phone orders to (216) 397-3333 work well for group orders, catering, or anything that needs a conversation first.
Delivery windows typically run 30 to 60 minutes depending on volume. Weekend nights are the heaviest stretch, and so are the predictable spikes of a college calendar. Move-in weekend, finals weeks, and home game days all push the kitchen harder than a normal Tuesday.
Campus delivery has its own rules. For a residence hall, put the building name and room number in the delivery notes, and add a callback number in case the driver needs to be let in at the door. University Heights is a small city, 1.83 square miles total, so most addresses in town are a short run from the store.
One note on timing. The last-call time is earlier than the closing time, because the final half hour is prep and delivery rather than ordering. Give the kitchen 30 minutes before close on any night.

Pizza, wings, subs, salads: the full menu, delivered to your door or ready for pickup.
Carryout and dine-in on Warrensville Center Road
Carryout is fast, and most orders are ready within 10 to 15 minutes of ordering online or by phone. The location sits on Warrensville Center Road, the main north-south corridor through University Heights and an easy stop from campus or from Cedar Road.
Dine-in is available for anyone who wants to eat in rather than take it home. Recent reviewers describe the dining room as clean and quiet, which makes it workable for a study break or a meal between classes rather than just a delivery counter.
Calling a carryout order in 15 to 20 minutes before you arrive is usually enough to walk in and pick up without waiting, especially on a Friday or Saturday night when the kitchen is busiest.
Catering for John Carroll, offices, and events in University Heights
Rascal House caters offices, schools, sports teams, and events of all sizes across University Heights and the surrounding eastern suburbs. Casual catering covers boxed lunches, party-size pizzas, wing trays, salads, and full spreads for groups of 10 to 200.
A campus generates a particular kind of catering demand: club meetings, study sessions, team meals, department lunches, and student org events. Box lunches handle most of them, because each one includes chips, a freshly baked cookie, napkin, and condiments, so nothing has to be assembled on arrival.
Four box lunch versions cover most groups: Traditional Sub, Wrap, Salad, and Pizza Bonanza, though the Pizza Bonanza Box must be ordered in increments of six. Party trays scale up from there, with the Wing Platter at 50 or 100 wings, the Chicken Tender Platter serving 12 to 18, and the Deli Sub Tray serving 10 to 12.
Penne Pasta Bowls, the Antipasto Salad, Cookie Trays, and Brownie Dessert Trays round out the catering board. Lead time is best at 24 hours, and the Vegetable Tray and Dip specifically requires 24 hours notice. Call (216) 397-3333 and mention University Heights so the order routes to the right store, or book catering online.
What is near the University Heights Rascal House
The location sits on Warrensville Center Road, the main commercial corridor through a city that calls itself the City of Beautiful Homes and packs roughly 13,900 residents into under two square miles.
- John Carroll University, a private Jesuit university founded in 1886, enrolling roughly 3,900 students
- Warrensville Center Road, the north-south spine through the city
- Cedar Road, the main east-west connector toward Cleveland Heights and Beachwood
- Cleveland Heights, directly north and west
- Beachwood, directly east
- South Euclid, directly northeast
John Carroll is the anchor that shapes the whole city. Founded as St. Ignatius College in 1886 and renamed in 1923, it drew enough growth that University Heights was recognized as a city by 1940. The Blue Streaks compete in NCAA Division III, and the university enrolls roughly 3,900 undergraduate and graduate students across the College of Arts and Sciences, the Boler College of Business, and the College of Health.
That student population is why the late hours matter here. A campus does not eat on a nine-to-five schedule, and the kitchen runs past midnight every night of the week to cover it. The city’s median age is just over 30, younger than most Cleveland suburbs, and the delivery zone reaches across 44118 and into the neighboring 44121 and 44122 communities.
Why locals choose Rascal House
Rascal House opened in 1980 when Mike and Fouly Frangos turned a passion for food and service into a downtown Cleveland fast-food restaurant unlike any other. The first store sat directly across from Cleveland State University, and the whole idea was built around what a campus actually needs: quick, tasty, affordable food at the hours students keep.
That formula worked immediately. By 1982, Cleveland State students had voted Rascal House the best off-campus eatery. Rascal House has also been recognized as “Cleveland’s Best Pizza” by the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The University Heights location runs the same play forty-five years later, just with John Carroll instead of Cleveland State. Same full menu, same late kitchen, same reason it works: a campus community that wants variety and does not want to compromise on one shared order.
A Rascal lives by honesty, respect, lifting up the team, and serving the community the store sits in. In University Heights, that community is John Carroll and the neighborhoods along Warrensville Center Road, and the menu is the same one the original store built its name on across from a campus in 1980.
