50 Best Pizza Restaurants in Dayton

“They always have great service and are quite friendly!“

“Ok so we’ve dined at Old Scratch Troy location about 6 times since it’s opened. Waited a bit to give them time to really get in their groove. While I do recommend the place. Pizza is good, staff is nice (especially Amanda at the bar) and shareables are tasty. That said I would like to see the food’s taste be a little more consistent. My favorite dish is the fire roasted cauliflower but sadly it hasn’t been prepared the same way twice with the last two times it was barely seasoned at all once it was almost raw. Hopefully as training continues they will fix that issue.“

“Originally from Buffalo NY, found it very difficult to find a pizza that even comes close to what I was used to. I've tried many pizzas across the Miami Valley and all I can say is that most were pretty bad, and a few ok but not much more. 2 places were halfway decent but those places went downhill. I finally tried Joe's Pizza last month and have to say, the Absolute Best in Miami Valley. It was the closest to Buffalo Style Pizza I ever had in Southwest Ohio. Told their Staff the same. I will definitely be going back there despite being a little drive from where I live. I would recommend Joe's Pizza to everyone, especially if you're looking for a quality pizza!!“

“My first visit, and will definitely be back. Very fresh, good service.“

“Found this little gem on the internet. The food was absolutely fantastic. We all enjoyed the food. My friend tried lamb for the first time. She was in heaven. The server was great. My only complaints were the lamb was overcooked, but still juicy, and the kids running all over the place (and the boy that was hitting his brother with a belt, not hard, but still annoying).“

“5 Stars is not enough. Hubby and I stopped in for our first visit and he grew up Italian ~ homemade everything. Sub was filled with meats, mozzarella sticks were perfect and the pizza was awesome. The dough is fabulous, so much taste. Husband felt like he was back home. Cannoli was so tasty. We will definitely be back. Great food, priced fairly and the owners service exceeded our expectations! Thank you for a great meal!!!“

“This is the best New York style pizza in Ohio! The crust is amazing. This family owned pizza shop is delicious and family friendly.“

“Good food made by good people and their consistency is where they excel“

“Pizza is always delicious, everyone is very nice and service is super fast!“

“Banging pizza! But I need their schedule.“

“Every time I have been here (a lot), I have been impressed. The food is excellent & the service is great. I would & have recommended this place. My very favorite!!!“

“The Pizza was delicious, the salad was a miss for me, but the atmosphere was very family friendly and had a 80s feel was definitely welcoming I would recommend updating the restaurant. The Pizza had a lot of flavoring and didn't taste like school pizza at all. This is is a great pizza restaurant if you like original Italian pizza, this makes me proud that there are restaurants that make such good Italian pizza. 5-stars“

“Hoagie's was a staple for me in the 80s and early 90s when I lived nearby and worked in the Poe Avenue area. It had been a long time since I'd visited so I drove over (across town from Fairborn - about 25 minutes one way) and ordered when I got there. I got two pizzas, a whole Spider (one of my all time favorite sandwiches) and the stuffed garlic bread. I grabbed a Coke and sat outside on their patio in the lovely weather. 20-ish minutes later, they brought my order right out to me. It think it was about $40 and well worth it. The pizza was just as I remembered it - the big thing I love is their sauce has a great tomato flavor and isn't too sweet. Great crust and well topped. I ordered my wife's pizza light sauce and they did it perfectly. The Spider was everything I remembered and the stuffed bread sticks might be my wife's new favorite thing. They have a nice amount of inside seating and the staff was very friendly. While I was waiting outside, it was a constant stream of folks coming for pickup orders. Hoagie's is as good as I remember and it will be on our regular rotation going forward. I just made me happy to reconnect with some of those memories from my first job working in that area and to get back to Hoagie's. If you have the chance, you should go.“

“Besides being the best pizza in the country, this Marions has the best people. They are so friendly and kind. In case you didn't know they do accept tips they just don't publish or publicly display their tip jar. I encourage anyone and everyone to leave a tip. Their smiles alone are worth something.“

“Marion's is a Dayton classic. The decor has echoes of the 60s and 70s I. Dayton, but clean, updated, modern yummy. Definitely not a national delivery chain. You order in one line, move to another to order drinks, pick out a family style table in the dining area (yes, Virginia, some pizza places are still fine in). My fave is their traditional thin crust with the basics. Marion's is also popular with group things - offices, churches, etc. Nothing like it anywhere else.“

“We had not been at OE for over a year. Only 9 people in the bar on a Friday night at 7:00pm….no band. Good service, as always. A large Chicken Ranchero pizza was $22.00, and it was only so-so. I don’t know what is happening in the Oregon District.“

“Got the 8 piece Detroit style pizza, and the “jet 10”toppings. The pizza was surprisingly good for a pizza chain type pizza. Crust was thick, buttery and crispy and there was plenty of toppings. The pizza had a very satisfying crunch. I would recommend this pizza for sure if you’re looking for some good pizza on a budget.“

“I LOVE this place. My mom has been coming here since she was a kid. Every time I’m in town now we always make sure to get it to take home w us. They have a patent on their pizza so you knowww it’s good. The staff is always super sweet and the place is always clean. The way it looks is beautiful too! Super cold school.“

“This restaurant would be just another Fazoli’s without their amazing team member, Caitlin. She takes customer service to another level in 2025. She’s friendly, always offers a smile and personalizes each and every interaction with patrons. Not to mention she follows up with customers to ensure their experience is a positive one in the dining room. A+ Caitlin!!!“

“Wednesday 5pm. Table for 2. I had a pizza. I was really impressed. It had a thin crispy crust which I like. Dad had spaghetti and meatballs which he said was good. Beer was cold. He felt the place was a bit noisy but I didn't notice that. Enjoy going there.“

“We had the buffalo chicken roll, the supreme calzone w/out sausage and the fried dough with powdered sugar and cinnamon. All of it was great. Our service was great. This was our first time, we will definitely be back.“

“The new brunch menu is incredible, the pizza is incredible, highly recommend.“

“Pizza here is very consistently good. We ask for the pizza cooked in the old ovens because we like the crust very crispy. The deluxe pizza could not possibly hold more toppings.

Our ham and cheese pizza was also perfect.

I recommend stopping in and you will make Marion's one of your regular stops for pizza.“

“I was born and raised in Italy, I was also a waitress there and served many pizzas. Troni is by far the closest to authentic Italian pizzas in the entire area. Absolutely delicious and well priced. Our family has always enjoyed it as well as the service.“

“South Park Tavern has been such an amazing place to go eat and enjoy local music. Everyone involved in the tavern does an amazing job from Dana, Jennifer, Grant and Ryan they all hold down the fort and serve the most delicious food we can ask for in Dayton. 10 stars all around!“

“My food is always hot & delicious“

“Ate here today! It’s sooo good. Best pizza in Dayton!!!“

“we love coming to eat there We drive all the way from West Chester.“

“we live near this pizzaria and it's a really good place I wanted to work here but they said they couldn't hire at the moment, the service is great the employee sure work hard and the food is also delicious like damn gimme more at this point, hope this place gets more recognized hope for the best ♥️“

“I live close by and this is an easy place to get food from. The service is excellent and food is as good as any other dominos. The one time my order was delayed/messed up, they were very apologetic and professional. If you like chain pizza places this is definitely one I would recommend.“

“I love the pizza here and it’s really good and the people are nice that work there at the pizza place. My favorite movie is the godfather so when I go here it makes me think of the godfather “So you come to me on the day of my daughters wedding for the favor” from the godfather just like the pizza place. I got a pizza here the other day and then o went to Home Depot and bought some screws so I could put my license plate on my car. It was really cool because I got pizza and then Home Depot was right there so I could just walk over. They have a really good bathroom at the godfathers pizza too because it was really clean. It reminded me of the scene where Michael Corleone goes to the bathroom in the godfather. Overall I really like godfathers pizza and I love the movie the godfather.“

“My personal favorites I have three are 1. Gmac add bacon 2. Chicken club subtract tomatoes and add onion green pepper and banana pepper 3. Four cheese gourmet Yum. Enjoy every bite and don’t forget to see steamboat Willie on the side of the building“

“Ordered from north main store for delivery to Kettering health Dayton and the driver called to see where to deliver it when I put those directions online when I order and they always take it to the wrong entrance so I said it 3 times he got very rude and hung up on me. I love the pizza very good but don’t do delivery from that location they are rude to their customers will never order from there again due to the employees not the food.“

“We order from this dominos all the time and the food is always great but I want to give a huge shout to Mike/Michael our delivery driver. He is always so kind and polite my kids get so excited so say hi and he acknowledges them every time. Such a kind gentle man.“

“I called to place my order and was transferred to their call service. The lady took my order confirmed my phone number and location. When I got there they didn’t have my order. The manager was apologetic. Took my order and had it ready in 15mins on a Friday night! And gave me a huge discount!!! Thank you!!! Great customer service!“

“Tried Old Dayton Pizza for the first time today and it was AMAZING! You can tell the ingredients are fresh. The margarita pizza and pepperoni pizza were 10/10. Beth the bartender was extremely friendly and informative (and great drinks). We’ve been looking for a pizza to compare to Western New York and this is it. As a Dayton girl, it’s a sad day to say this beats Marion’s. But SO good.“

“open late. friendly and good food. 😋“

“Ordered delivery which they said would be an hour. Called one and a half hours later to enquire about order. Without hesitation they checked, said it was on the way and that it would now be discounted. Love the customer service with giving a discount without having to ask.“

“the Chinese food was excellent and would get the tacos again“

“the Chinese food was excellent and would get the tacos again“

“Friendly staff willing to accommodate a large bunch! Excellent food and wonderful service!“

“Placed an order online. Estimated 30-40 minutes, but my order was ready in 20! And on a Friday night! Great job!“

“Always good pizza! The staff are always friendly also!“

“Thank you Domino's for your great pizza and your act of kindness when I forgot my wallet! I really appreciate your generosity when you didn't have to show me any and could have sent me home to get my wallet! We'll be back :) Thank you!“

“We ordered food on 03/28/25. Let me tell you, whoever was working this needs needs their feet kissed. This by far was the best food we have ever received from this location and taste like it was made from the Gods themselves.
Their food is always good, but this is was the tippy to my top.. Everything was perfectly cooked and they didn’t miss one gosh darn thang.

Did we just become best friends?!?“

“Had to drop you all some props for tonight. My wife and I are OG CV peeps from our Culver Ave days. We used to eat Patterson Vinny's on the regular until we moved to off Dixie Hwy. Finally decided to order an old favorite, thin crust Florentine, and it was awesome! Super easy to order, same fair prices, and the pizza arrived perfectly made and cooked, and it was hot and fresh (props to the delivery driver too). Had to have some bread sticks of course, and they were delicious too. We'll be ordering again. Fingers crossed Wayne can be as consistently good as Patterson. So far so good, proper d8n style pizza done right!“

“My FAVORITE Mediterranean spot, the gentleman who serves me always is so friendly & remembers my order! Whenever I crave really well done, fresh, quality Mediterranean food I always take a drive to the mall just to get it, no other Mediterranean spot is this good, 10/10 highly recommend!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Sheesh, I'm a food pro and single dad. Was in a rush to grab an after school snack for my boys but was pressed for time. I used the app and car delivery option. Flawless experience! I'm watching the door for the 2 min guarantee, turn my head and one of the associates is already at my drivers side door! Super convenient! Now, back at my restaurant I'm eating a slice and I'm like damn, this is good (well made)! We've tried several in the area (this one is closest to my restaurant on Dorothy Lane) and have had great experiences! Great job guys and we'll definitely be back.“

“good pizza but drivers need to make change for a hundred“

“I’m a manager here. Love this place“
