50 Best Pizza Restaurants in Cincinnati

“Mouthwatering and delicious. Drove 20 minutes just to try this place. We will definitely be back. They only have two small tables outside so plan for take out! Best pizza I’ve had in Cincinnati.“

“If you’re looking for amazing Italian food, please check out this restaurant. Some of the best Stromboli and calzones I’ve ever had with great service and absolutely deliciously homemade sauces. Ask them to whip up a batch of pink sauce for you. You won’t regret it.“

“I’ve been to Trophy Pizza at this location five times now, and never had anything but a great experience!
The eating area is always clean and bright, and the staff has always been exceptionally friendly and helpful!
The pizza itself is delicious! It comes out of the oven quick, so it’s hot, fresh and the crust is nice and crispy!
There are always many different types of slices under glass to choose from, so I usually make it a point to ask about something that I haven’t tried before, and then add it to my order.
I highly recommend this place!“

“Dan the man with the pizza pan, was awesome in every aspect of professionalism. Fucking great attitude and very friendly. Thanks Dan front the guy who painted the building on the corner.“

“Today we picked Fireside cause we wanted to try some Cincinnati pizza! All I can say is what an amazing place. The gentleman working was amazing!! Helped tell us about other places to go, had us try some different draft beers, they made the best pizza’s even my kids loved all the different types and loved drawing plates to put on the wall. If we were to ever come back this way definitely would be coming back! Recommend 100x!!“

“I have been meaning to stop by since they opened, finally had a chance tonight. Casual atmosphere of a neighborhood place. Warm greeting upon arrival. You order at the counter and the food is brought to your table. I had garlic knots and a small pizza and both were delicious. The pizza was a 10” pie the size of a paper plate. The toppings were fresh and evenly spread over the pie which was perfectly cooked. The crust was the perfect consistency. The pizza really did taste like a traditional pizza I use to have when I was young and we lived next door to a family from Italy. It’s a can’t miss experience, and I will definitely dine here again.“

“Today, a friend and I came to Dewey’s for lunch. The waiter came by to inform us that an error had been made in our order and that we would be given our meal for free. We had not even been waiting that long, but that level of customer service is VERY hard to find. Kudos to Dewey’s. We will be back many times!“

“THIS is for the College Hill location... that Big Gripp is absolute ⛽ 🔥 👀 🤤“

“Really good, cool College Vibe place. I'm super picky on pizza. Growing up and spending a few decades in the Detroit area with some of the best pizza places in the country I got to admit, I'm a bit biased. This place however was super good. Remind me a bit of hole in the wall, bar pizza back home. Super good. Thick, doughy crust and lots of toppings. Looks like they have quite a few other things on the menu as well but I specifically went there for the pizza. It's about 45 minutes from where I live so it's not a place that I would visit regularly, but if I go into downtown Cincy which I do once a month or so it will definitely be a spot to stop. Cool place. Parking is a bit of a challenge...Just an fyi.“

“By Far….this is the best pizza I have had in along time. Been ordering from them for a few months now. Never been disappointed. Customer service was incredible when a mistake occurred with our order! Wonderful customer service.“

“First time here tonight and the service was amazing and quick we were worried coming in about 7:50 since they closed at 9 and we didn’t feel rushed at all.. Food was absolutely delicious we ordered a pizza and hoagie with some cheese sticks, and that dessert especially the peanut butter pie was absolutely amazing I ask the girl at the register who makes it and Nicole idk if you will see this but you know what your doing with that peanut butter pie, it was absolutely the most delicious peanut butter pie I ever had.. it took a lot of self control to not buy every last piece that was left..“

“Rhys and Alan made my whole night! I have an allergy, and they made my pizza from scratch at a later hour than I’m comfortable admitting, but they made me feel so welcome. Highly recommend an establishment that makes someone feel as important as this.“

“Fantastic pizza! Fresh, hot and delicious!“

“We are from out of town and decided on pizza. After looking at yelp stars we decided to come here. Everything was great and the service was amazing. My five year old ask him for ranch and after we were done he packed up our pizza and we left. Got back to our hotel and he threw in extra ranch for her. Would definitely go back next time we are in Cincinnati.“

“That pic on the home page isn't staged.....your pizza comes out exactly like that! Great pizza!!“

“Wonderful group of ppl with some awesome pizza and calzones. Only thing I wish they also had would be some wings but other than that great experience with my coworkers from Central Window Cleaning out of Columbus“

“As I’m writing this review I’m still in shock! I’m in Cincinnati on business and I was craving Italian. I can’t believe there’s not a line around the block just for the meatballs! My family owned an Italian seafood restaurant in NJ for 26 years and I can say without hesitation the meatballs here are the best west of Arthur Ave in the Bronx! My NJ mind is blown!“

“Stopped in quite by chance last night. The pizza was perfect. I had Pepperoni and Mushroom and it was great. The crust was thin but still had a great chew. The sauce had a little zip and pepperoni was a little bit spicy - both things I love. Fresh mushroom and gooey cheese. Fresh from the oven, along with breadstick loaded with butter and garlic and my got a garden salad that was huge. Fast, friendly service and just the place to goto if you are catching a show at Memorial Hall OTR. We will be back. If you are in the area, check this place out - you will not be diappointed.“

“Very very good pizza and salad!! Such a treat!!“

“Best customer service and food.“

“Best Angelo's in ohio I love my pizza breads and what ever you do don't go to the Angelo's in Reading Ohio has new owner and they suck gave me expired bottle of pop and said it usually is ok if date not far out and got sick as hell the dat I ate there go to Norwood best pizza in town“

“Great food and great staff! I love the atmosphere. Definitely check them out. You can also catch FCC games there.“

“I’ve always loved Taglio - they were extremely underrated years ago, and it’s amazing to see what they’ve grown into. 3 years ago I found out I had celiacs, and was no longer able to eat wheat. When the Gluten Free crust came out I was incredibly excited.

On a very busy Halloween night, we ordered a gluten free pizza and they did fail to note which pizza in the order was gluten free and unfortunately no one could tell the difference. We called, and Taglio was kind enough to re-make the pizza and deliver it to us. The customer service experience was great, especially on a busy Halloween night, allowing me time to eat and to get to take my kids trick or treating.“

“If you guys haven’t tried this Grammas locations Alfredo sauce, you HAVE to! This is the only location that has Alfredo. It’s absolutely amazing! We actually get it in our pizza instead of pizza sauce, and OMG. Just try it! 10 out of 10 highly recommend!“

“We got a variety of pizzas to go - for picky adults & pickier kids - all were amazing! We would have loved to dine in but had to grab & go.“

“Ordered 2 large pizzas and there is no comparison between NYPD and the big stores. Better pricing, food,taste. The best part it’s the way a pizza is supposed to taste and be. The big stores just are lacking in the taste department. So this was awesome.“

“Hometown food and more. Miss the popcorn but still a fav“

“Everything was so yummy! Best crust I’ve had in forever! The pizza was so good ! We started with the stuffed mushrooms. The mushrooms did not disappoint! Great wine. The balsamic was great. Service was fantastic! Would definitely come again.“

“Hands down, best hoagie I have EVER had! Pizza was AMAZING!! And he has some homemade Cincinnati style chili in there!!!!!!!! 100/10 recommend visiting Village Pizza Sharonville!!“

“While visiting the Cincinnati area, we ordered pizza from La Rosa's! From the encounter on the telephone where I received impeccable customer service, to the very kind, efficient and professional delivery driver, to the most delicious and affordable pizza we've tasted! Our family was very happy to eat Larosa's Pizza! It's a shame that we don't live here because Larosa's is our new favorite pizza joint!“

“Very welcome, took the family here for our daughters 4th birthday our server (Max) went above and beyond for our family. For the first time being here was very nice.“

“Cincinnati is an interesting pizza town. Our claim to fame, as it were, is regional chain LaRosa’s. Its success cannot be denied, but surf any Reddit thread or Facebook thread discussing Cincinnati pizza, and you’ll find a particular disdain for our hometown pizzeria, with most negative comments saying it’s overrated, the sauce is too sweet, or it smells of feet/vomit. Yes really. Our other regional chain with some notoriety is Dewey’s, a more “upscale” style pizza joint that appeals to hipsters and families. The seasonal Tito Santana taco pizza is a revelation. Dewey’s also has its detractors citing price as the main complaint. The rest of the scene is local chains like Angilos and Grammas serving serviceable “homestyle” pizzas and steak hoagies, a handful of wood-fired pizza places, and an even smaller handful of New York-style pie places. And of course national chains like Domino’s and Pizza Hut. Among the crowded scene is Lucy Blue. A local micro chain with two locations serving something between Angilo’s and Dewey’s. Lucy Blue built it reputation with pizza windows in downtown and Mt. Lookout. More recently, their two locations are in the suburbs of Anderson Township and in the always-happening Over the Rhine area in the urban basin. Lucy Blue’s menu skews more toward Dewey’s than Gramma’s. Just two pages featuring standard pizzas and expected toppings, fresh salads, a few sandwiches including the requisite steak hoagie and a few appetizers. Missing is the litany of fried items that crowd Angilo’s and Grammas menus. The focus here is on freshness and simplicity. And fresh is what you get. In spades. Every item we’ve tried has been fresh and high quality. The crust is bready and structurally sound. The sauce is fresh and tomatoey. The cheese has a bite and pull that you’d expect from higher quality pizza kitchens. Toppings like pepperoni, sausage, and veggies all seem high quality and tasty. The steak hoagie is much better than the sloppy, buttery messes you get at most places. The meat was tasty and the toppings were crisp and plentiful. The breadsticks were very good. They were short but heavy and flavorful, and the sauce accompanying them was chunky and flavorful. There is a tiny spicy bite to everything, including the delicious ranch dressing. Overall, Lucy Blue is an excellent option among Cincinnati’s many pizza spots. The food is fresh and tasty.“

“We ate here for the first time last night , it was packed but we were seated right away and they moved us over to be closer to heat with no issues whatsoever; our server Emily was super sweet and the hostess as well !!! We can’t wait to come back, our food was delicious and great servings … Emily was very attentive and was great with recommendations .. hubby is a cook and can be a little picky haha 🤣 but he LOVED everything he even wanted to tip whoever made the Mac and cheese anywho 10 stars ⭐️“

“Fantastic pizza! Fresh, hot and delicious!“

“We had the BEST experience at this lovely little pizza place! The staff was so amazing, truly made us feel like family. The pizza was good, especially for the price! But let me say it was truly the staff and the atmosphere that made this place a 5 star. I wish we lived close enough that we could be regulars, we will definitely stop in every chance we get!“

“Amazing people and service.

Really can't begin to even tell you how much I appreciated all the kindness of the staff at this Jet's location.

The owner is amazingly kind, and I am truly thankful for the service and cheesy dilicousness of their pizza!“

“Ali and Dan are doing a great job of bringing this place back to life. We stopped in for a carryout order of wings yesterday. The wings were great as we watched our Bengals at home. The interior is really looking good. More TV's and new furniture. Keep up the good work in Madeira.“

“the best hoagies around. Highly recommend“

“Amazing food. Wonderful views. The ambiance and service was 10/10. 💜💜💜“

“Having a mother from Germany and having been raised on everything German, Kantine is like coming home (just don’t tell my mom). The beer is so delicious that it doesn’t sit heavy on the stomach. It’s a given that the food is delicious but the fact that the flavors are so satisfying is what put lunch over the top. If you have ever had kaffee und kuchen in Germany then you will love these deserts! 11 out of 10 starts!!! Prost!!“

“Where to start…. Best owners, best staff, best pizza, best baked goods, best soft-serve ice cream!“

“Very under staffed but good pizza and games“

“I’m a regular at the Delhi Pike LaRosa’s and they always kill it. The food is consistently great exactly what I expect every time and the team makes the experience smooth and friendly. Appreciate the reliability and care. Keep up the great work!“

“Our waitress Sara was very attentive even though she was very busy. I had the just right lunch special with a Baked Royale, salad and kettle chips. My friend had the 3 meat calzone, it was loaded with cheese. Everything was very good. Very busy, but able to enjoy conversation and relax.“

“Always great service ..Shannon is awesome! Good always good. Highly recommend.“

“Gina was absolutely the best and celebrated our anniversary with us. She made sure everything was perfect and went above and beyond. To top it off the crew signed an anniversary card for us, complete with our other new friend Ryan, who was also a delight. Everyone we interacted with at Subito was fantastic and we will be back for many more celebrations! Not to mention the food is incredible!“

“Delish and quick. It's always been busy when I've gone but the online ordering worked pretty good so it was grab and go once you got thru the line. Detroit style is a great change of pace from essentially everything other pizza place and punches well above its weight class in the cost/taste department.“

“Classic Americana and textbook friendly neighborhood bar-restaurant! Newtown Village Tavern pizza is everything LaRosa’s wishes it was and it is the superior “Cincinnati Pie” in every way. Cold beer on tap, sports on the tube. What more could you want?“

“Many thanks to Dent Snappy Tomato Pizza! We needed pizza delivered to a place that was not covered by delivery due to location. Other places we tried did not even make an attempt to help us out even though they were closer. Snappy bent the rules and delivered 5 yummy pizzas to our farm. They did not have to make that effort-certainly no one else did. Kudos to the manager for creating an atmosphere of community where something out of the ordinary could be possible. On time, super kind on the phone, friendly driver and very tasty pizza-BOOM. Everyone wins. Please support this location👏👍🔥🍕🍕🍕Bay Star Equicenter, Loni and MaryJean“

“Absolutely love this local pizza spot! The food is always fresh, hot, and full of flavor — from the perfectly crisp crust to the generous toppings. But what really sets them apart are the deals. Whether it’s a lunch special or a family combo, you get way more than your money’s worth. It’s become my go-to place not just for the food, but for the unbeatable value. Support local and give them a try — you won’t be disappointed!“
