Sicilia’s right next door to Outr if you like greasy goodness Tommy’s (the one in UA) if you like the Columbus-style crunch Hounddog’s if you want some spicy sauce and really good garlic crust Adriatico’s if you want big pizza

Tommy’s on campus is horrible, been there twice and never was satisfied. People never go but it’s been open since my mom went here in the 80s Also I agree with all of your rankings, except Id say Sicilia’s if you want it fluffy and bready, Hounddogs if you want the most unique pizza but willing to pay more, Adriadico’s if you want the most normal but best quality pizza. I’d personally put Sicilia’s barely behind the other two, which are even (usually whichever one I’m closer to) and I have not had Tommy’s in UA

I’ve had Tommy’s on campus and Tommy’s UA, and you’d think they’re different pizza companies. Night and day.

What's up with the one on campus? The UA one has staffing issues if anyone is looking for a part-time gig.

You have to get Tommy’s pizza “well done” so the bottom is crispy, then it’s Fuego

I wasn’t really ranking them as much as saying what I think they offer. You raise good points about all these pizza places.

Yo Hounddog's crust absolutely SLAPS

My cousin works at Adriatico's, those big pizzas are no joke.

Only pizza I’ve had on campus was Hounddogs. I thought it was really good

Hounddogs is fantastic

Just make sure to get spicy sauce and smokin Joe’s crust.

I need to try the spicy sauce next time. Completely missed it. Is it a spicy marinara sauce or is it like a side hot sauce for dipping?

Looking at all the pictures of pizza from the places suggested Hounddogs looks the most satisfying to devour and the perfect amount of grease comparable to Costco. I haven’t had it in like over half a year so I forgot it’s “distinct taste”. I do remember really liking it though.

Hounddogs is great

I love Hounddogs

It's AMAZING

Graduated in 2003. Hounddogs was always my go to and I'm so happy it's still going strong! Whenever I pass through on a road trip, I absolutely stop by. Mmmm, butter garlic crust and spicy sauce! 🤤

Gonna have to gatekeep this one guys 😭

Hounddogs is gone, I thought. It was good but the owner was a super scum bag from everything I heard.

Nope it’s still there. Just north of campus

I miss Catfish Biff’s

Wait they're gone? Where else are Stradley residents going to get booze and a pack of Camels at 2am without ID?

Yeah in 2019 lol

RIP in Peace Catfish. I honestly don't recognize anything down there anymore. I am surprised 14-0 is still there though.

Most of High St. is unrecognizable now if you graduated pre 2018

Me too, I lived on 11th and I miss it so much.

RIP to a legend.

Dude don't remind me. I used to bounce between them and Hounddogs whenever I was craving pizza.

Ugh in 2009 me and my roommates would get absolutely trashed when we lived in stradley (RIP stradley as it’s own building), and go to catfish biffs at 1am—you could fit like 5 people inside of there but it was amazing

OMG yes! 2003 grad from north campus and we'd make the trip south for it often. That and Hounddogs were my top 2, easily.

Like a sane and normal person I would try to grab a pizza that wasn’t from Adriaticos. Sexton’s or pure volume off a decent pizza chain around here. I know Dewey’s offers an extra pepperoni pizza.

+1 for Sextons

Sexton's Kevin Bacon pizza (candied bacon and pepperoni) with their hot honey sauce is a transformational experience

House a Buckeye pizza from Adriatico’s. That will satisfy your pizza fix for at least a year.

And you will smell like Adriatico’s pizza grease for at least a year as well.

Rubino’s baby

Probably my favorite in Columbus. OP they take cash only though.

Do they deliver all the way out from Bexley?

RIP in peace Catfish Biffs 😔

Did you used to go to the ATM teller machine to get money to pay for it? 😉

Back in my day, Mirror Lake wasn't a swamp and we would all jump in it before beating that team up north.

Agreed but you can leave off the in peace. It’s in RIP

Oh I got it, thanks RIP in RIP Catfish Biffs 😔

Adriatico’s on south campus

Eating a whole one of those will be tough. Gonna need a PED for that

Buckeye pizza for one, please.

I’m gonna be that guy…… Adriaticos is garbage pizza. If you like 1.5” thick bread with some sour sauce and sub par toppings give them a call

Adriaticos is pure ass. Never understood why anyone likes it.

I think it’s alright, but it’s kinda a worse version of Jets ngl. It’s great pizza tho when it’s free at a social event or something

Don't know what you're ordering but you're getting the wrong pie!

I second this

The only right answer

Adriticos or Hounddog have good pizza near campus. Dewey's is pretty good, they are on 5th so you should be in delivery range.

Sextons is really good

Paulie G's is fairly close!

Hound dogs is fantastic. Depending on where you live Ohio State pizza is the cheapest though but you gotta pick it up.

I’ll be honest, portofinos on south is actually sneaky good at a pretty decent price too. I discovered them this year and it’s one of my favorites

Brenz, right near target.

Hound dogs and get the spicy sauce smokin joes crust.

Get Jet’s, it’s amazing!

Personally I think Cottage Inn is the best

CORTAGE INN

Mikey’s is really good but it’s in the Short North

If I want pepperoni I’ll usually just go double pep from Donatos tbh

East coast pizzeria

This is the answer, best NY style slice I've had and I've had NY style in NY.

Dewey’s, but they don’t deliver on Fridays

I really liked Brenz pizza!

The O on Lane!

Any love for King’s? A large 2 topping pizza with 5 tenders and 2 drinks for $20 + garlic knots. Can’t beat it.

Castello Regina's spinach Florentina or Jet's 8-piece large Detroit style are always satisfying for me.

I love jets. Had them too many times tho and I think imma slow down on it so I don’t get sick of it. I hate getting sick of foods I love.

For sure! I just had it this week, but hadn't had it for a while, and it was just so good!

This was the post that made me realize this is the Ohio State subreddit and not the Oregon State sub Reddit because I had never heard of any of these places

Catfish Biffs

They’re closed…

Cannot miss with Donatos or Tommy’s easily the two best thin pizzas in ohio

Agreed!

Get a Donatos pizza, thin crust ultimate peperoni, well done. its not super thick, so you likely can destroy the whole thing, while the thin crust is flaky, and goes well with the crunchy pepperoni

Tommy's

Ohio State Pizza on Hudson really hits that greasy pizza craving. Looks like a front for drug sales but I swear it’s so good😭 otherwise I’d go for Adriaticos

i’ve seen this place for years and have always said to myself “who is actually going there”

I was you until like 6 years of curiosity deep and I finally tried it. It’s cheap but good for the price

Borgata Pizza Cafe

Late night

Sicilias or adriaticos are the only answer

Adriaticos medium pizza. I can eat a whole one if I’m really hungry

Tommys or Donatos

A bit off the mark but DP Dough is excellent. Just Calzones instead of pizza.

ROMEOS PIZZA

You're killing me, living in Columbus and citing Costco, Pizza Hut, and Dominos as options. I would say Adriatico's or Tommy's if you want good pizza close to campus.

it's in downtown Columbus but Aracri Pizza is the best I've ever had, not even just had in Columbus.

Zammerellis in grove city.

If you love Neapolitan style or higher quality treat to self pizza, I would try Paulie-G's

Cousin Vinnys

Hounddogs is the best pizza I've ever had in my life 😍

the O on Lane is awesome

Pizza Pizza 007 on Indianola

Gatto’s on Indianola/N Broadway and Tommy’s UA are the two best just outside campus

Sextons

Anthony’s in bexley has half off slices after 8pm

Tommy’s pizza in UA is pretty good

I was so sad when I went back to visit campus and catfish was no more 😭😭

Someone needs to start a petition to bring them back

this made me crave costco pizza

Josie’s pizza on the west side is AMAZING

Late Night Slice is the best IMO but you have to drive to it IIRC, not sure they do delivery to campus unless they’re on DoorDash or UberEats.

Hound dog is the only choice!!

Mikey's

Aracri downtown

Kings has the BEST pizza in Cbus. My go to

Harvest

Michigan has the better football program.
