From lots of yellow mustard to peanut butter and jelly, these are some of the wildest pizzas in Columbus
Tiny Panther
Pie of the Tiger
Let this serve as your regular reminder to not sleep on Pie of the Tiger as one of the city’s true pizza gems. The spot serves pan-style pizzas that owner Faith Pierce describes as a mixture between Sicilian and Detroit style pizza. Tiny Panther features provolone and cheddar cheese, ham, bacon and Italian sausage, all topped with a healthy serving of yellow mustard. on top.
Peanut Butter & Jelly
Roscoe’s Pizza
While Roscoe’s is just over an hour south of Downtown Columbus, it’s worth the trip if eclectic pizza menus are your thing. In addition to a full menu of regular pies and more, the eatery boasts 80 specialty pizzas, including everything from barbeque potato chips to bananas. The Peanut Butter & Jelly contains, well, just peanut butter and jelly, but it’s topped with a unique Panko bread crumb layer before being baked as well.
Capra Nelle More
Natalie’s Coal-Fired Pizza
The Grandview location of this Columbus favorite is still going strong, and it’s not just due to the eclectic slate of live music it offers. This pie starts with a blackberry chipotle sauce, adding goat cheese, caramelized onions, smoked portabella mushrooms, arugula and almonds.

The Saluki
Black Dog Pizza
This speciality pizza, made from classic red sauce, mozzarella, Fit Fresh’s Chicken Shawarma, black olives and onion, is finished with garlic yogurt and shawarma seasoning. The pie will be offered as the Dublin’s spot new featured pizza later this month. Until then, you can dig into The Barkbacoa, made from red sauce, mozzarella, Fit Fresh’s barbacoa, house jalapenoes and red onions. This pie is finished with green onions, micro cilantro and a side cup of salsa verde.
Spring Chicken
Figlio
The OG of the Columbus wood-fired pizza game is all about the use of quality, culinary ingredients, and it shows on this pie, which features a tomato and corn salsa, avocado, Vermont cheddar cheese and basil pesto crème fraiche. You can also opt for the Roasted Pistachio and Goat Cheese, made with olive oil, asparagus, red peppers and a drizzle of local honey.
Tarantosaurus Party Pizza
Taranto’s Pizza
In terms of the ingredients used, this is a pretty standard pie. What sets it apart, however, is its size. Coming in at a massive 29”, this is not a pizza you’ll want to try to take on by yourself. At $55, it also might make a bit more financial sense to tackle this one with a group.
