City guide released their newest list of Columbus’ best pizza spots – is your favorite on the list?
Crispy crust lovers and soft doughy crust devotees, unite! There’s a new list in town, and one that features pizzas that satisfies both Columbus-style die-hards and New York-style aficionados.
From family owned pizzerias to more artisanal shops, Restaurant Clicks, a publication that highlights the best spots in cities around America, created a list of their top 9 pizza picks, based off local recommendations, personal experience, and extensive online research.
Here’s where they think you should indulge in some mouthwatering pizza this weekend:
Adriatico’s New York Style Pizza
1618 Neil Ave, Columbus, OH 43201
Type: New York-style + thick Sicilian squares
This 38 year old pizzeria has been around for so long for a good reason. They offer New York-style thin, large slices of course, but you should try their Sicilian squares, too, with light, fluffy dough and crisp corners. “Be sure to try the chicken bacon ranch, inflation fighter, buffalo chicken, or chicken pesto,” says Restaurant Clicks.
Plank’s Cafe & Pizzeria
743 Parsons Ave, Columbus, OH 43206
Type: Columbus-style
Since 1939, Plank’s pizzeria has been slinging thin-crust, Columbus-style pizza, but with their own twist: their sauce and crust is a little on the sweeter side, and patrons love it.

OH Pizza & Brew
88 E Broad St, Columbus, OH 43215
Style: New York-style
“We recommend the kaua’i pizza, buckeye garlic pizza, Mediterranean pizza, or Hattie-B’s pizza,” this travel publication said.
Dewey’s Pizza
1327 W 5th Ave, Columbus, OH 43212
Style: New York-style
Maybe you’re tired of the same ol’ pep and mushroom combo. What about a porky fig or green lantern instead? Dewey’s prides themselves on their inventive pizzas that use seasonal unique ingredients, all on a thinner crust. They also offer calzones!
Tommy’s Pizza
174 W Lane Ave, Columbus, OH 43201
Style: Columbus-style
For the past 70 years, Tommy’s Pizza has consistently been noted as the spot for Columbus-style pizza. It’s a no-frills establishment that churns out some incredible pies.
GoreMade Pizza
936 N 4th St, Columbus, OH 43201
Style: Neapolitan
Think: gooey pockets of mozzarella, a wood-fired dough, softly charred, charred, and farm-to-table ingredients. You can almost taste it just reading this. Restaurant Clicks recommends the Annie Social, Porkistopheles, or the Clintonvillian.
Panzera’s Pizza
1354 Grandview Ave, Columbus, OH 43212
Style: Columbus-style
“Thin and crackly, hot and tasty,” is their motto, and I feel like that’s really all you need to know about this place. Panzera’s was established in 1964, and it’s definitely known for their Columbus-style pizza.
Brenz Pizza Co. Columbus
1551 Lennox Town Ln, Columbus, OH 43212
Style: Columbus & Italian hybrid
The owners were born in Italy, but this Columbus pizza spot is a fusian of both wood-fired Italian and crispy Columbus za. Restaurant Clicks recommends the BBQ chicken, the Brenz white, Bianca Rossa, or the Spinach Artichoke.
Sarefino’s Pizzeria & Italian Deli
59 Spruce St, Columbus, OH 43215
Style: New York-style
You can grab this quintessential New York-style pizza by the slice, but we don’t blame you if you eat an entire pie, either.
