“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Fantastic pizza! Fresh, hot and delicious!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The best, most authentic NY style pizza around. My son and I put the box on the hood of the car and ate the pizza in the parking lot! So good, we couldn’t wait! Can’t wait to visit again!“

“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“

“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!“

“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 had Noce’s cater our wedding - lasagna, meatballs, garlic knots, and salad. The food was absolutely delicious and our guests loved it. Jay showed up early and set everything up for us, and stayed to help clear the buffet line and move things along (we had not hired him to serve). Highly recommend considering Noce’s to cater your event. Absolutely amazing.“

“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.“

“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“

“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...“

“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 a quick bite to eat before the Toto, Men at Work & Christopher Cross concert last Sunday. We were in a hurry but not too much.
We all ordered drinks and a large Detroit style pepperoni pizza with hot honey and it was GREAT! Nina our server was very helpful, fun, friendly chatting with us for awhile- she even went out of her way to help us find some black napkins to play a game while we waited for our pizza… My Miller bottle was also almost ice cold- great! We got our check right away, we devoured the pizza- I highly recommend this pizza and this location was on top of things…lots of happy patrons and tables of mixture of group sizes, etc.. all were having a nice time.
Thank you! And the pizza hit the spot for the concert- just wish that I had another one waiting for me in the car after the concert👍“

“Always enjoyed Dewey’s. But that staff particular at this location was next-level attentive and kind. This was our first visit to their Covington location and we had great interactions with multiple members of their waitstaff and manager throughout our meal. They even remade our pizza without prompt because it wasn’t up to their normal “standard” but was still great. We appreciate the extra steps they took to make our dinner service exceptional.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Ordered a Steak hogy, lg pepperoni pizza and cheesy garlic bread. It was all hot and wonderful. The guys working behind the counter cooking was so nice and friendly , the restaurant was clean and well lit. Would recommend to anyone wanting great Pizza experience, wonderful service.“

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

“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 ⭐️“

“This place is legit. They are 20 inch pies, they also sell by the slice too. Garlic knots are a must. Skip the chain pizza places and support these guys!! You won’t be disappointed“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!!“

“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!“

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

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