Victorio's Pizza
South Arch Avenue Neighborhood • Brick-Oven Thin-Crust Shop • Local Icon
A long-running brick-oven standby turning out crisp, foldable pies that many locals swear are the best in town.
Victorio's feels like the classic small-town pizza shop, with a focus on thin, brick-oven baked crust and straightforward toppings done right.

Best for big orders
Gionino's Pizzeria
South Union Avenue Corridor • Carryout Pizzeria And Chicken Joint • Best For Game-Day Spreads
Known for hearty pizzas and crispy fried chicken, Gionino's is the go-to for feeding a crowd without overthinking it.
If you’re hosting a game-day party or family get-together, Gionino's makes it easy to cover all the bases with pizza, wings, and their popular fried chicken. The crust is on the thicker, chewier side, with plenty of cheese and generous toppings. It’s primarily a carryout and delivery operation, so expect quick service rather than dine-in atmosphere.
