Best Pizza in
Ohio

Hounddog's Pizza occupies two distinct spaces: a family-friendly dining area and a 21-and-over bar. The Supreme Dog, featuring spicy sauce, delivered considerable flavor, with ingredients tasting fresh and a crust exhibiting proper crispness.

The pizza remained satisfying as leftovers the following day. During a Saturday dinner visit, the restaurant side experienced a wait for tables, while the bar side was approximately 75% occupied.

Specialty pizzas cannot be ordered in halves.

The Original Josie's Pizza occupies a spacious corner on West Broad Street. Within its walls, historical family documents detailing a voyage from Sicily add an authentic touch. The establishment accommodates large groups, with a game room providing an unexpected diversion.

The pizza crust is notably crunchy and light, a characteristic that has earned it favor. A chef special features regular pepperoni beneath the cheese and smaller pieces on top, generously layered with ample cheese and meat. For those with a preference, pies can be cut into standard triangular slices upon request, a subtle variation that alters the pie's taste.

Chicken tenders at Josie's are surprisingly flavorful. The restaurant has supported family gatherings, indicating a capacity for events. The space includes a pool table and a large bar, contributing to a convivial atmosphere.

Giordano's at 2137 Polaris Parkway presents a deep-dish pizza experience where the crust sometimes arrives undercooked, and the toppings, often featuring a generous quantity of olives and cheese, lack assertive flavor. The cheese pull, however, is a notable visual element, particularly on the deep dish special. Starters like parmesan garlic fries and Caesar salad, barring the Caesar dressing, were well-received.

The establishment's approach to pasta dishes can be inconsistent. One diner reported receiving marinara sauce on spaghetti when meat sauce was explicitly requested, with the sauce described as resembling tomato soup in consistency and taste. This led to the uneaten spaghetti remaining on the bill despite the discrepancy.

Despite culinary inconsistencies, servers were attentive, even during periods of low customer traffic, and offered to serve the first slice of pie. The portion sizes proved substantial, with one slice often sufficient to fill a diner.

Ohio State Pizza & Wings operates solely as a drive-thru, with no indoor seating or access. The drive-thru experience can be unpredictable, with one patron noting an extended wait, while another found service to be fast. Orders are often packaged with care, but inconsistencies have been reported regarding the application of toppings.

The chicken philly here stands out, its preparation demonstrating a competence not consistently found across the menu. Conversely, the pizza has drawn criticism for its thin, sweet sauce and sparse cheese coverage. Dough texture varies, sometimes described as soft and chewy.

Portions are notably generous. The pepperoni pizza has been a hit with younger diners. Prices are positioned as affordable, a factor contributing to customer value perception.

The Pizza House offers a pizza with a slightly sweet sauce and toppings that tasted of the market. The sausage on the husband's pie registered as notably good. A garlic and cheese pizza achieved a state of perfection for one diner.

Service figures, including Cari and Brandy, navigated the menu with attentiveness and offered informed guidance. The beer arrived in chilled glasses. A wait on a Friday evening was reported, as was a 25-minute wait for pizza at noon on a Thursday.

The establishment’s interior appears dated. Booth seating was noted as being too small for comfort. Crispy boneless wings were also a feature enjoyed by a patron.
