50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Independence

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

“This is by far the best pizza and hoagies that I have ever eaten. The food is always hot and fresh and the employees are so friendly and welcoming. The mushroom hoagie is out of this world!! I highly recommend Snappys in Independence Kentucky.“

“Best Cauliflower pizza ever, great service“

“Tonight i received dinner from the location in independence! The food was DELICIOUS!! The food came hot and ready to eat. The man who delivered the food was very presentable and clean and professional. Tonight thank you for giving my family a fresh hot meal! Happy we chose this tonight!“

“Had a good deal on pizzas so went up and picked up a few of them even though I've felt burnt out on Dominos for a good while now. The pizzas were hot and fresh and the toppings were not stingy. Definitely one of the better locations I've been to.“

“It is a good place to get 🍕!“

“Strong's has really good pizza. I'm a pepperoni topping fan and they do it right, even though it's not a primary menu item.

Some things to consider:

1. The $7.50 mozarella sticks were a disappointment. The advertised photo lead me to believe they were jumbo sized. I don't think it's intentionally misleading but be aware that they're no different in size than frozen mozarella sticks from the grocery store. I felt the same about the taste as well.

2. The online ordering system automatically selects a 20% tip and adds two service fees: I was charged a $0.75 fee and a $0.25 fee. So if you're in a hurry and clicking through the checkout process you'll probably miss that 20% tip like I did. I don't fault Strong's; I believe it's the ordering platform they're using that does this. My recommendation is to call Strong's and place the order via phone instead to avoid this.

3. I live 15 minutes away and every time I pickup and drive home, the pizza is fairly cold by the time I get home. I order from other take-out pizza shops in the Union and Walton area and Strong's is the only one that is somewhat cold by the time I get home. Perhaps they don't keep the to-go orders on a heated tray? Regardless it's still worth it and we enjoy it.

This is one of my top pizza places in the Union/Walton area.

Parking: There is no parking lot access from the Rt 42 entrance to that business plaza. However, you can park next to their parking lot and walk across the 15' landscaping to get to the restaurant.“

“Great food and friendly staff!“

“Great spot! Traveled to Covington with 4 young children, looking for a family-friendly restaurant in the area. The pizza was great, but the staff was even better. We even asked for other suggestions of family-friendly restaurants to try while we were in town, and they teamed up to put a list together for us. Greatly appreciated the friendliness of the staff!“

“Very good quaint place Pizza was really good“

“Back in 2018 had a guy I went to college with say he worked here and towards the end of the year brought us all in pizza!!! No clue if he’s still here or how he’s doing but great pizza and great dude!! Excellent representation of this place!“

“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😊❤️“

“The salad was fresh and the pizza was exactly what I was looking for.“

“My wife and I stopped in after a football game for a late supper. As I love wings, I asked the server how theirs were and she sang their praises. Ordered them and I will say they did not disappoint. Very large and the way I like em, wet. The hot BBQ was just the right amount of heat to leave a little bite afterwards. We were very impressed and will be back.“

“Some of THE BEST pizza I’ve ever had.“

“💜😋👍Been meaning to try this place and finally got around to it. Gosh, we’ve been missing out! Best pizza we’ve had in a long time and great tater skins too! Can’t wait to get again. 😛“

“They weren’t busy however and it took longer than normal to get our food.“

“We tried Antonio's for the first time and it was awesome! We had a pepperoni pizza, pesto alfredo pizza, onion rings, and wings. Everything was delicious but the pesto alfredo pizza was the winner. We can't wait to go back just to get another one! I highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone who has not tried it!“

“I went in and ordered a pizza. I never tried it but I had heard good things about it. So I go in and place my order and the young lady who took my order was very sweet I was telling her all the good things I've heard and she says her fav is the green peppers and onion on her pizza. I said oh okay. I'll have to try that. So anyways I got a large pizza with pretty much everything and it was so good it hit the spot! The sweet young lady was right along with everyone else the pizza is very good. Definitely worth the price! So ty young lady stay sweet.“

“First time experience. I must say Ruga's did not disappoint. The PIZZA was delicious the house salad delicious as well. The house made Buttermilk Ranch was outstanding . Takeout order was ready in 20 minutes. The young lady that took our order over the phone was extremely friendly and seemed happy to take our order. I highly recommend Ruga's. Will definitely be back in the very near future.“

“This is a carry out and probably a delivery as well. No tables. However, from the South we love real food with real taste. The price is reasonable for the quality of service and food they prepare. I chose a hand toss pie 3 topping. Evenly spread and the as always when it's real its stringy. Would I go there again? Yeah!!! It's 1 1/2 miles from the T/A so truckers if you can BT here you won't regret it. I will have to chock this place up for another spot on my stomping grounds. Great service, Great pizza Jet's Pizza.“

“Very good pizza, pasta, salad & deserts!! Price is a fairly good value, $9.99 for the buffet for adults, $10.99 if you want a drink. The buffet was kept stocked & fresh, service was very friendly & welcoming, there is some games to play, sort of like Chuckee Cheese's games or Mr. Gatti's, however there are no prizes or toys to win or exchange tickets for. Bathrooms & restaurant was very clean & well kept. Highly recommend this place!!

Kid-friendliness: Yes it is kid friendly“

“UPDATE - the store reached out to make things right - I understand things happen and we are all human. I commend the excellent customer service and look forward to patronizing again in the near future. Thank you.

Injection calzone was missing the ricotta (seriously, how?!) and another topping and was severely undercooked. Hopefully this was just a one off, because the prior orders were great“

“We had pizza and ravioli dinner. Very good.

Vegetarian options: Salads
Cheese pizzas

Parking: Plenty of parking available.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy wheelchair accessibility.“

“Food was awesome! But establishment was so dirty. please make time to clean tables , floors and bathrooms. everything covered in a filmy grease and dirt.“

“I recommend everything on the menu. The owner and the employees are obviously take pride in their food and you can definitely taste it. Best pizza place in the tristate.“

“Food was good. Service was so so. I had to find someone to get a box. I had to ask for to go drinks and I never got another beer. I know she would have gotten a bigger tip if she would have just checked. Atmosphere was kinda slow inside and didn’t have many people. I did smell a slight smell of recreational smoking in the entrance. I honestly don’t care as long as it doesn’t affect my service.“

“Not sure of the name of our server this afternoon, but, she is an amazing person! Traveling from Gatlinburg to northern Indiana, decided to stop in and get some pizza. Our server was fantastic, and very personable and attentive. We spoke with her at the table every time she came, and, was such a genuine person, and cared about our visit to the restaurant. I wish I could’ve got her name, because she made us feel so welcome, and, wished us safe travels as we exited. People like her are few and far between in the food industry anymore. Whoever you are, thank you so very much!!!!“

“One of the best pizza I had wish they get their sweet sauce back and reopened, but amazing pizza and shared it with so many friends, coworkers, and family. If you one the best one it’s the small pan pizza for some reason the larger ones loses the experience and quality they truly offer even though all it’s good the smaller pizza is better here too me.“

“The people were very nice. Great food and atmosphere. My order was ready in minutes and the waiter was very good.“

“We really like the new patio area.“

“We have had really great pizza from this location the past few times we've ordered. We order carry-out and each time has been fresh and cooked perfectly. My husband actually wanted the pizza from this location for Father's Day because it has been consistently good. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and the pizza was great once again! Not sure about the bad reviews, but the people working at this location and the food have been great in every aspect in our experience.“

“Order from Richwood snappy pizza. Food was delicious and worker that worked register was very polite. Thank you so much for a great experience!“

“Thank you for your kindness and delicious pizzas! We posted your picture on our page. 🍕“

“Super Jet is very good Highly recommend“

“Every time I order from the Erlanger location - whether for a school function or for my family - I have the best experience. The staff is always friendly, and my food is always ready on time. I’m glad Snappy is part of the Erlanger community!“

“Fun atmosphere. Fun was good. Some of the bartenders were fun, if only they would make eye contact! They weren’t that busy yet we had to wave them down for refills, to order, to get a box (when we got their attention for a box it was another good 10 minutes b4 they arrived) and then had to get their attention to pay! Not attentive at all!“

“After driving 40 minutes to the Bright location to be told that they were closing early for a party (on a Friday night), we called the Ft. Wright location to verify their hours. So after another 40 minute drive we arrived at this location. The staff was very friendly! They continued to put out fresh pizzas even with our arrival 30 minutes prior to the buffet closing. Thank you Ft. Wright Snappy Tomato! The food was delicious and we greatly appreciate your friendly staff after the incident at the Bright location.“

“Cheap, fast, good service, good food.I've gone here for my lunch break a couple of times, fixing a deck right down the street. Their meat toppings are baller and they give you garlic butter on the side as a default. It's a good experience if you don't want anything fancy, just a solid pizza.“

“The pizza that we got tonight has way too much sauce on it so I called the location and they sent me a replacement right away with a free bottle of coke as an apology. We order from this location a lot and never have any issues so I know this is just a one time mistake. We will continue to order from them in the future.“

“Friendly atmosphere! Great service! Cold beer!!! Everyone was singing with the band!!!“

“Wow this place amazed me. I want expecting more than walk in and pick up my food but the staff was impressively friendly and helpful. They even presented the food and offered plates and condiments. I haven't been to a pizza hut in a long time and now I'm upset I haven't been going to this one!“

“Update 1 week later: a manager reached out to us when this first happened and told us our next order is free. We received our order today and are very satisfied with it. Thank you. Changing review from 1 star to 4 for outstanding customer service.
.
.
Called at 5:30 and put in an order. Person on the phone read it back to us to confirm. Said it would take 25min. We arrived around 6, told them the order name and were told it would be a few more minutes. Stood there for 20 minutes until someone else came from the back and told us our order was never sent in. So we left. Literally never had this happen before anywhere. Don't order here. Thank you for nothing!“

“Came into this place for the first time today. The food was good too 3 pizza I’ve ever had might even be the best. The service was good, and the overall atmosphere and the Halloween Decor was awesome. The finishing touch was the pool table. I will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“Delicious! We dined in today and had fast & friendly service, great atmosphere, and the pizza was soooo good! Will definitely be back.“

“Unfortunate situation with their delivery driver tonight so my order took twice as long. The management staff took care of my bill. My order arrived late but hot and perfect. The driver was extremely courteous as well. Best delivery pizza in NKY. 🙌“

“Ordered a pizza on New Years Eve to be delivered and the woman who took our order was friendly, kind and helped us decide which deal would work best for us. The pizza was exactly the way we ordered AND the service especially for being New Years Eve was top notch. We will order from here again !!!“

“We love yall! We order from this store regularly, and have for a couple years now, rarely ever experienced an order mix up. Even then it’s been handled wonderfully when we called in. There is a lady who works there, that I always get on the phone, she’s the sweetest most professional and efficient person ever; calls everyone sweetie and hun! I just love her, she’s the best!“
