Best Detroit-style pies
Doughtroit
Findlay – Tiffin Avenue Corridor • Detroit-Style Pizzeria With A Modern, Casual Vibe • Destination For Crispy-Edge Pan Pizza
Thick, airy crust with caramelized cheese edges makes this the Detroit-style stop locals talk about.
Doughtroit focuses on square, pan-baked pies with a light, bready interior and a crackly cheese edge that stays crisp all the way home. Toppings tend to be generous without overwhelming the crust, so you still taste the dough and sauce. It’s an easy choice when you’re driving in from Bairdstown and want something more special than a standard chain pizza.

Iconic college-town pick
Campus Pollyeyes
Bowling Green – Near Bgsu Campus • Lively Campus Pizza Joint Known For Stuffed Breadsticks • Best For Hearty, Indulgent Pies
Big, cheesy pizzas and famous stuffed breadsticks make this the classic Bowling Green splurge spot.
Campus Pollyeyes leans into comfort food, with thick, cheesy pizzas and over-the-top stuffed breadsticks that can easily stand in for a meal. The atmosphere is casual and a bit loud, fueled by students and game-day crowds, but service stays efficient. Call ahead on weekends if you’re driving up from Bairdstown, because this place gets slammed during peak hours.

Best for families and groups
Beer Barrel Pizza & Grill
Findlay – East Side Retail Strip • Family-Friendly Sports Bar & Pizzeria • Go-To For Big Parties And Varied Appetites

Bowling Green – Downtown • Classic Thin-Crust Pizza Parlor • Old-School Local Favorite
A longstanding spot known for thin, crisp crusts and straightforward, well-seasoned toppings.
Pagliai’s keeps things simple in the best way: a thinner crust with a nice snap, balanced sauce, and toppings that don’t drown the slice. The dining room feels like a traditional small-town pizza shop, with quick service and a steady takeout flow. It’s a smart pick when you’re in Bowling Green and want a familiar, unfussy pie that still tastes like a local original.
