Old Scratch Pizza is a laidback, counter-service pizza joint where the Neapolitan-style pies are fired up in their 800° wood-burning ovens. The cleverly named ‘Angry Beekeeper’ is always a tasty option: it’s with fresh mozzarella, basil, spicy salami, house-made hot honey and olive oil.

And yes, as the name suggest, they also have plenty of local and international beer options to wash it down with.



Citizen Pie – Cleveland

4. Citizen Pie – Cleveland

Wood-fired and Neapolitan inspired, these pies are to die for. Slightly thinner than some classic pizzas but the combination of slightly charred crusts and fresh toppings are a dream.

You can tell how much love, attention and passion goes into every single pie. Some of the best Cleveland pizza you will ever taste.



Taglio – Cincinnati

The key to a classic Detroit pie is the deep pans in which the pizzas are baked, which gives it a crunchy crust and soft base, with caramelised cheese on top. Taglio does this perfectly. Toppings include pepperoni, basil, and Mike’s hot honey, while there’s also great ‘crust dips’. We love the creamy gorgonzola.



Harvest Bar + Kitchen – Columbus

6. Harvest Bar + Kitchen – Columbus

Harvest Bar does deliciously gourmet wood-fired pizzas, working with local farms to source the best local and all-natural ingredients available. You can get super creative with your pizza here. Choose a chipotle spiked tomato base or truffled mushroom as a topping.

Not only is their pizza droolworthy, we really rate their burger as well.

Stadz Pizzeria is a classic American-style pizza joint, where you’ll get an absolutely incredible cheesy pizza feast. Add on toppings such as thick layers of bacon, sausage, ham or black peppers to make your perfect pie.

Vincenza’s Pizza & Pasta – Cleveland

8. Vincenza’s Pizza & Pasta – Cleveland

Vincenza’s is a no-nonsense Italian restaurant where all the attention is on delivering great food.
