Best overall pick
Pangrazio's Pizza & Spaghetti House
Dennison – Downtown • Old-School Italian Pizzeria • Local Institution
A long-running Italian spot that does hearty, saucy pies and classic red-sauce comfort food right.
If you ask around Barnhill and Dennison where to go for a sit-down pizza night, Pangrazio's is the name you hear most. The pizza leans classic—chewy crust, lots of cheese, and a generous hand with the toppings—backed up by big plates of pasta and garlic bread. It’s the kind of place where families linger over refills and locals recognize the staff by name.

Classic small-town staple
Penso's Pizza
Dover – East Side • Carryout Thin-Crust Shop • Best For Quick Carryout
A no-frills local favorite known for its crisp, square-cut pies and dependable takeout.
Penso's is the spot you call when you want a solid pizza without a lot of fuss. The crust is on the thinner side and baked crisp, with edge-to-edge cheese and toppings that make every slice feel loaded. Order ahead, swing through Dover, and you’ll be back in Barnhill with hot pizza before it has time to cool.
03
Craft pizza night out
Dola Jean's Pizza
Dover – Downtown • Detroit-Style Craft Pizzeria And Bar • Best For Date Night
A polished downtown spot serving thick, caramelized-edge Detroit-style pies with a creative streak.
For a more modern take on pizza, Dola Jean's is worth the extra drive. The signature Detroit-style crust is airy yet substantial, with crispy corners and toppings that range from classic pepperoni to chef-y combinations. With cocktails, a solid beer list, and a lively dining room, it feels more like a night out than a simple slice stop.
04
Worth-the-drive pies
Park Street Pizza
Sugarcreek Village Center • Wood-Fired, Farm-To-Table Pizzeria • Destination-Worthy Road Trip
A busy Sugarcreek favorite turning out wood-fired pies with local ingredients and serious flavor.
Park Street Pizza draws fans from all over Tuscarawas County, and Barnhill is close enough to make it an easy evening drive. The menu leans on Ohio ingredients, with tangy sauce, fresh toppings, and a crust that delivers just the right mix of chew and char. Go early or be ready to wait a bit—most locals agree it’s time well spent.

New Philadelphia – North Side • Casual Neighborhood Pizza Joint • Best For Families
A laid-back pizzeria with shareable pies, friendly service, and plenty of space for a group.
Ianni's offers the kind of easygoing atmosphere that works for teams, birthday dinners, or a casual night out from Barnhill. The pizzas are straightforward and satisfying, with crowd-pleasing toppings, cheesy bread, and wings to round out the table. It’s the sort of place where kids get excited about their own slices and adults appreciate the fair prices and quick service.
