As long as we were going to Chagrin Falls, we decided to try the award-winning Sirna's Pizzeria, located at 11782 E Washington Street. We started at single digits on E Washington Street in Chagrin Falls, and soon entered another county! When we reached Bainbridge, we became concerned, but the GPS told us to keep going! Ten miles from Chagrin Falls, we reached the pizzeria that is actually located in Auburn Corners. The owner said something about the postal address being one thing and the actual location another. The extra drive was worth it, however, and the White Garden pizza was scrumptious.
We returned to Chagrin Falls to admire mostly 19th-century architecture.
