50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Highland Heights

“This is my favorite restaurant on campus and one of my favorite pizza places ever. The only reason it's missing a star is because they sometimes take the thin crust to the extreme. And I mean sometimes it's so thin it feels like the pizza is gonna disintegrate when I pick it up. I feel like this has happened more often than not this semester, and today was especially bad. The crust on about 1/3 of my slice was as thin as the cheese.“

“Hot Donatos pizza is great...including here. Since we live some distance away, we can only have hot Donatos on on-site here. The seating is not good. Also, staff is divided between 2 connected brands. One person is sometimes serving both sides. Not good.“

“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.“

“Nice quaint pizza spot. Good food“

“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!“

“It is a good place to get 🍕!“

“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.“

“My husband and I stopped in today for lunch after seeing it recommended on Google. The fresh focaccia with olive oil and balsamic were hands down the best I’ve ever had. My husband enjoyed his wedge salad and we split a highly delicious pepperoni pizza. Mike and Maddie were so welcoming! We even got to enjoy their brand new outdoor umbrellas which gave such a nice touch to their outdoor dining patio. We will definitely be back sooner rather than later! 🥰“

“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.“

“I love their new York styled pizza.“

“absolutely delicious food! i am so appreciative that they have vegan-meat options available for many of their subs! i got the vegetarian meatball sub and it was so tasty— loved the garlicy bread. can’t wait to try more off the menu! the wait to place an order to go was only about 15 mins. friendly staff & lots of seating options inside!“

“Fantastic pizza! Fresh, hot and delicious!“

“When we showed up with 70 people they were amazing! Service was great, workers were hustling, kitchen staff got all of our food out in a timely manner.“

“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.“

“This was my first time at the gruff and it was absolutely amazing. The food was great. The service was amazing as well, and we got to sit outside and enjoy the weather! Most definitely will be going back.“

“Very good quaint place Pizza was really good“

“Very good food and friendly staff. Was glad to have wandered into this place.“

“We love being able to order a half & half of each of our personal favs😊❤️“

“Loved it here! Came for my 21st birthday, got the lunch special. Reece, Sha, and Xavier were the best!! Gave me a free dessert for my birthday as well. Only $10 for a lunch special that included a slice of pizza, side, and a drink! Overall I love this place and the employees were the best!!“

“We were tired after being on the road all day, so we decided to order takeout. They were super friendly when I called. We were told it would be 45 minutes to an hour for delivery, but it ended up being a little over half an hour. Not bad since the driver said he was working alone! The kiddo just wanted cheese, so I didn't get to try any of the toppings except the fresh mozzarella. The pizza was so good, as were the bread sticks and dip. They were kind enough to send plates and napkins since we're at a hotel. I'd definitely order again!“

“I get there pizza once every payday. closest thing to my pizza here in ky.. not to mention the guy that works there is fantastic. I went in to order today an was like 3 dollars short cause my card wasn't working right. but cause I'm in there a lot and my daughter was hungry they made it for me with what I had. not a lot of places do this especially for some great food..“

“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.“

“Fantastic atmosphere, employees. Appetizers were great, Pizza was fantastic. Definitely give this place a try! If we weren't from 5 hours away this would be our go to spot...“

“Best customer service and food.“

“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!“

“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“

“The guy who gave us our order was fantastic. We ordered the chicken pizza, it was ok, good but not fantastic, what was excellent was the salad we ordered with figs. Outstanding. We ate in our hotel, so maybe if then pizza had been fresh it would have been better, and that's on us. After a long day of traveling, we were too tired to dine in.“

“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.“

“Great Manager at the Independence location. Super friendly Ben made us new comers very welcome“

“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.“

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

“Tried today because I wanted to try something different. Very glad I did! Steak hoagie was delicious and the pizza is great too! My friends and I used to eat a place called Germantown Pizza in high school. That place was the best. This food reminds me of that place!! Support this local business!!“

“We really like the new patio area.“

“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.“

“Had Lucy Blue last night for our Friday Happy Hour. So delicious. Especially love the Lucy Blue tomato sauce!“

“It was delicious! Best pizza in Ohio“

“Fantastic pizza! Fresh, hot and delicious!“

“Pizza is great and people that work there are so nice. My kids love this place.“

“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 ⭐️“

“Had trouble ordering on the app so Via a phone order experienced very pleasant and knowledgeable staff. We were staying overnight in the area on a weekday an enjoyed a very nice meal by way of delivery service (driver actually demanded a tip!) Fed a family of 2 adults and 2 children for under 50$ ( not including the dang drivers tip). Probably would recommend going into the establishment if possible.“

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

“We spent a weekend in Covington and tried Macs Pizza Pub our first night. It was soooo good, we got it again on Saturday night! We had Pizza and wings both times, and it was all top notch!! Priced affordable. A must if you are in the area!“

“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!“

“Every time I pick from LaRosa’s at this location, I never have any complaints, but I’m actually leaving this review because the I couldn’t seem to get my order through because the app was glitching or something but when I called customer service, you know 347–1111, old school, anyway the woman I spoke to was so kind, patient, even had some comic relief and let me let my anxiety off my chest. She was just professional, but cool all the way through it and I’m really Appreciated that and too much. We only see the bad but when you get a person that just makes you feel good. It’s their job, but they don’t have to be nice as we see most people aren’t her name. I can’t believe I’m having trouble with her name. I’ll remember as soon as I stop thinking about it and I’ll come update because she deserves it… see you 10 seconds later I remembered, Maggie! Maggie, she’s a good woman and she’s a great customer service rep. She’s highly over skilled for what she’s doing right now not there’s anything wrong with it because so many people have no skills she has the skill of knowing how to talk to somebody and treat somebody And motivate somebody if necessary. I’ve been in business so I can see the things like that and there’s other things that cannot be taught. Their organic I like that in business cause it’s who I am sure at first their job, but then it would become two versions of you when they mentioned to one that’s who you are. You’re more than an expert you are that and maybe I just Aiden edible but I’m pretty smart cookie and I have a business and we get too much bullshit without any balance of people willing to get behind their keyboard to say nice things. About the people doing the smaller jobs that make some of the biggest impact Good job Leis take care of her. She’s on her way places.
****** UPDATE*****
Won’t let me review again, but another great experience with my Cresent Springs, KY LAROSAS!
I come here at least once a month and the food is always amazing today I went in and I can’t lie. I forgot my debit card which isn’t usually like me, but I was able to use my mobile Apple Pay, which is great, but obviously I had to have an issue doing it. Donovan, the gentleman helping me was incredibly kind patient and helpful and really made me feel better as I started to develop anxiety because I couldn’t get it to work he made that anxiety disappear with his great customer service and attitude. Can’t wait to go home and enjoy. What’s always a great meal at this location of Larosas ! I will always recommend this to Friend and family. If there’s anybody left in Cincinnati doesn’t already know, lol.“

“great staff prices are reasonable food is good fast clean and friendly Everytime“

“Fantastic joint. Not pretending to be something it isn’t, just a good old fashioned Biergarten with top notch food and a great selection of beers and other alcohol. Live music was not overpowering, and was appropriate to the crowd. Definitely heading back on my next trip to Cincinnati.“

“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.“
