After four rounds and more than 750 votes, we have determined Cleveland's best pizza.

Flashback: We began our tournament with a Sweet 16 of local pizza spots, taking into account Axios reader submissions, plus rankings on review sites like Trip Advisor and Yelp.

State of play: Congrats to Il Rione!

The pizzeria known for its rustic chic atmosphere and New York-style pies took down Cent's, Masthead Brewery and Citizen Pie. It then topped Angelo's in the final, garnering more than 60% of the vote.

The bottom line: If you haven't already, we suggest you head over to West 65th Street and see what all the fuss is about.
