50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Independence

“After seeing a few of their drivers around Independence, I decided to try Snappy Tomato and ordered online for delivery. I typically prefer carry-out, but hey, whatever. I chose a medium “Bacon Ranch” thin crust and a medium “Snapperoni” on traditional as variety truly is the spice of life. This was on a Friday night and the pizza arrived within 30-35 minutes, snappy indeed. Things really started looking up when the friendly driver handed me my order and the combined pies had a decent weight to them, in pizza this is always a good sign. Upon initial inspection both pies were hot, had just the right amount of toppings and baked to a perfect golden glow. In fact, for a moment as I simultaneously opened each box I thought I caught the sound of ethereal choir voices harmoniously rising in the background. Without hesitation I grabbed a slice of each and unsurprisingly both were absolutely delicious, tasting just as amazing as they looked. All the toppings were fresh, the cheese chewy and satisfying, and piled upon quality sauce and a perfectly cooked, delicious crust. The taste took me back to the 1980s-90s when, and I’m sorry if you’re too young to have experienced this, our go-to pizza places just tasted better. Rightly so, Snappy Tomato has become my new favorite local pizza place and I will be ordering again. Thanks!“

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

“I would like to thank the gentleman who works at this Papa John”s that helped the young lady who was having car trouble. You are a blessing and you touched so many lives with your humanity.
It’s very hard to find people who will help others.
So, I was at work and my co-worker sister had an issue with her vehicle. She just happened to be at this Papa John”s parking lot. That’s just tip of the iceberg.
So, her car was running hot. She also had a child in the car. My co-worker, was in panic , of course. Not only did she have a child in the car but they had to be to the hospital for a very important appointment.
Y’all, this is how good God is:
My co-worker called this Papa John”s and explained the situation. The car was running hot.
The young man that was working at the time . Went outside and helped.

The moral of the story is not only did the young man help my co-worker sister, but he help the child make it to their appointment, he helped my co-worker and his family by relieving their stress.
God put people in the right places at the right time.
I really appreciate you young man.
May God continue to bless you and you keep using your good heart.
We thank and appreciate you!!!!!“

“Best Cauliflower pizza ever, great service“

“I absolutely love this location! By far the best Domino’s I’ve been to. The staff is always so friendly! Food is always great! The GM Tiffany is absolutely phenomenal! She goes above and beyond and she always makes sure the food is right! Love love love this place! Keep killing it Taylor Mill Domino’s!“

“Amazing pizza!!!!! The Chicago style pizza is hands down the best! Garlic knots were good too and garlic butter and marinara automatically comes with it. a must try and you'll keep going back!“

“I love mellow mushroom been going there for years and will continue to do so however….. what in the heck did you do to those beautiful meatballs that used to be on the menu? This new thing is a shame to serve. You took a beautiful appetizer and simply ruined it. Yes I will continue coming to mellow mushroom but I certainly won’t order the new meatballs.“

“If you have not tried this place RUN!!!! The pretzel sticks with beer cheese were amazing. Fish tacos over the top. Everything freshly made and out of this world good.“

“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.“

“My family is in the Union location once a week. We are dining in on Wednesday or getting carry out. Consistently delicious. Clean location. With the best staff members. We always feel welcomed and like we are apart of a family. We are so lucky to have a neighborhood spot like this. The food is absolutely delicious. Meatballs, Hot and Spicy, and Wings are our favorite items. More importantly (not really but it is this Dads treat of the week) are their House Beers. The Strong’s Lager and Brick Oven IPA are so good. My week treat is when I get to have a beer while waiting on my carry out on Thursdays. Great job guys. Keep it up!“

“We have been getting Poseidon's Pizza ever since the new owners took over a few years ago and it has been top notch ever since. The wide variety of menu options, convenient location, excellent service and delicious food have kept us coming back for years now. Personally, we like a thicker crust and recently, the owners clued me into a tip that has taken the pizza from really good, to the best pizza we've ever had! Our personal go to is an Extra Large pizza, made into a Large, with extra Canadian bacon and extra pineapple. This gives the pizza a thick, chewy, delicious crust that we absolutely love! Now that we are in the know, we can't get enough! We ordered a pizza just last night and it was out of this world! If you really want a treat, dip the crust in the Costco Kewpie Japanese salad dressing! Seriously the best crust/dip combo I've ever had in my entire life! For anyone that loves a good pizza, look no further than Poseidon's Pizza in Florence, KY! Whether you like a NY style thin crust, a thick, chewy crust (our fave) or a Chicago style deep dish, they can do it all! If you haven't already, stop in and give them a try. You won't be disappointed!“

“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😊❤️“

“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..“

“Love it here! Above and beyond, our pizza was delayed a few minutes, which we didn't even notice and the manager( I think) said the crust on 2 slices wasn't to their standard and they made another pizza to go, waived the charge. We will be Dewey's Covington for life! We didn't ask, but were so impressed at their strive for perfection! Delicious as always!!!!“

“Delivery - terrible (door dash)
Food - margarita pizza overcooked; pepperoni pizza sporadic meat; veggie on cauliflower crust the best of all but soggy
Some of this is due to delivery imo
Not worth the $75
Eat there; don’t get delivery“

“We really like the new patio area.“

“We stopped in to this location today for an early dinner. Theresa took great care of us &our pizza was EXCELLENT!! 😋“

“always have great food atmosphere people and prices food is a 10 service is a 10 atmosphere is a 10 only issue ever is no central IL locations been a loyal customer for over 35 years just sad no central IL locations“

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

“Always Great. Service, Quality, & Value. My scale is the only one who wishes I wouldn't eat so much & go so often.“

“great food great salad bar. different kinds of pizza all fresh hot. highly recommend“

“I fell in love with this place many years ago. Food is amazing!! The staff is always amazing. Matt the manager is amazing!!. With the addition of Amber I think the place is complete. One of the best bartenders I've met in my 44 years!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Our order was Takeout: The pizza is consistently good. BUT, the calzone we ordered was lacking. Barely any filling that you would expect in a calzone. Also, no dipping sauce was included in the box. We will not order this again. Our entre house salad was also very small. Not as much greens as you would expect for an entre. I guess to go orders are not treated with as much care as the eat in orders“

“Wanted to eat IN the restaurant, so we came in and asked for a table rather than a booth. No issues there, as they were happy to accommodate the request.
Iris, the server, was polite and friendly and efficient once we decided what to order. She was attentive and quick.
The food was exactly as expected, and came out at the perfect temperatures (calzone and a specialty salad).
When we were done, she brought us the bill quickly, and took the payment with a kind smile. And when we were done and leaving, someone was very quick to collect our dishes and trash.
Lovely experience & exactly what you'd hope for from a sit-down experience at La Rosa's.“

“Super Jet is very good Highly recommend“

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

“Major improvements lately. I had a couple bad experiences a year or two ago but I have ordered from here twice in the last 2 weeks and the pizza has been amazing. The only complaint I have is the clumsy online ordering that they have not very intuitive.
Other than that, this place is great. Very friendly staff putting out very good quality food!
Update.. The new text, your order thing that they have for ordering online. It's super simple and works great. This location is always great. I eat there two or three times a month. Very consistent. Always good.“

“The ENTIRE STAFF IS AMAZING ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ I've been on a my jets pizza kick lately and they NEVER DISAPPOINT‼️‼️‼️ ALWAYS FRESH, THEY ARE ALWAYS FRIENDLY AND THE RANCH THE BEST EVER
I LOVE THIS LOCATION
THANK YOU GUYS FOR BEING AWESOME EVERY SINCE EMPLOYEE“

“I feel like this is more of a vibe-type bar for eating in with friends. Our family ordered VERY expensive take out and it was good, but didn't knock our socks off.
Definitely take visiting guests to show off Covington, but probably not a top options for families that just want a meal to take home.“

“In 12/24/2025 I ordered a he beast went to pick it up there was only two workers there and the had my food ready to go when I arrived. Very friendly staff !! These two workers deserve extra pay working on a holiday like this.!! I will be returning!!“

“Great place I’ve been coming and going to chuck e cheese bday party’s here majority of my life and in almost 40 now, all my kids ages 21 to 8 have been and loved it…. Who doesn’t love pizza games, tokens & of course the prizes… it’s the best part…“

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

“The food was great but the service was even better 😊 We live about 45 minutes from there and will definitely be going back!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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. 🙌“

“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!“

“I wanted to give a huge compliment to our Snappy Tomato Pizza - Walton! We order every week, and our orders are always hot, right, and delivered fast! My son is picky and they always get his plain orders correct! Thank you!“

“Our favorite local pizza! We eat Snappy from Ft Thomas every Wednesday for the Grab & Go special, or pretty much anytime we get pizza. The pizza is always hot & fresh, & the cheesy bread extra chessy! Super friendly staff also!“

“Long hair younger guy with a beanie single handedly raised my rating from 1 star to 5. he makes the food right (not burnt and cheeseless like one of the managers.) he’s always smiling and seems like a great employee. Give that man the manager position and watch your rating skyrocket.“

“Delivery was fast and delivery guy Alex was super. Pizza and hoagie were hot and very tasty 👍“

“The staff here was really nice and the food came out pretty quickly. The person on the front counter seemed to be running the whole store himself almost and was doing a great job. Was friendly and helpful. Store was clean and well managed. Times were decent. Pick up and delivery both were available in a timely fashion and I appreciate them! Thank you ! Decent location with plenty of parking.“

“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!“

“Let me start with saying if you’re looking for good food, good vibes and super service THIS is the place. Also, super conveniently located right off the exit and right next to Trader Joe’s - can we say DOUBLE WIN We swung in just for some brews and bites and hit the jackpot! The band was in full swing - highly recommend checking out Second Take if you’re in the Cinci region - we lucked out and caught the show right as we sat down. Super chill environment too, not overcrowded and our waitress Stevie was PHENOMENAL 👌 Quick to grab our drinks, didn’t forget me when I asked for refills, grabbed our apps out the gate and hooked us on the napkins because ya girl is a messy eater 😆 she even answered my 100 questions about what local brews they offer (which, if this is your forte, def check out their selection - I was impressed) Anywho, 10/10 service, food, atmosphere and generally just a cool spot to check out that’s 15 min from anywhere as soon as you hit the highway in the Queen City 🤙“

“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.“
