01
Best overall pick
Noce Gourmet Pizzeria
Chardon Square • New York‑Style Pizzeria And Wine Bar • Local Favorite For Sit‑Down Pizza
Upscale enough for a night out but relaxed enough for a post‑lake meal, with standout New York‑style pies and thoughtful toppings.
Set just off the courthouse lawn, Noce is the place Bass Lake locals steer friends who ask where to get truly good pizza nearby. The crust lands in that sweet spot between crisp and foldable, with toppings that go beyond the usual without feeling fussy. It works equally well for a laid‑back date, lingering over a pie and a drink, or a family dinner after a day on the water.
02
Best for variety
Zeppe's Pizza Chardon
South Chardon • Casual Tavern‑Style Pizzeria • Best For Groups And Game Nights
A flexible spot with familiar pies, wings, and appetizers that makes feeding a hungry crowd simple.
If you have a mix of kids, picky eaters, and wing‑lovers, Zeppe’s is a low‑stress choice a short drive from Bass Lake. The crust is sturdy and classic, built to hold plenty of cheese and toppings without getting soggy, and the menu sprawls from subs to salads. It is the kind of place you call when the game is on, the deck is full, and everyone wants something a little different.
03
Best takeout classic
Congin's Pizza
Near Route 44 • Carryout And Delivery Pizza Shop • Takeout Favorite
Old‑school, no‑nonsense pizza that travels well, ideal for bringing back to the lake.
Congin’s leans into classic Northeast Ohio pizza: generous cheese, a slightly thicker crust, and plenty of hearty topping combinations. It is geared toward carryout and delivery, which means the pies arrive at Bass Lake still hot and intact. Order a couple of larges and some breadsticks and you are set for an easy cabin or porch dinner without ever setting the table formally.
04
Best for families
Georgio's Oven Fresh Pizza Co.
Water Street Corridor • Family‑Friendly Pizza Chain • Best For Quick Family Dinner
Reliable, kid‑approved pizzas and combo deals that make feeding a family straightforward.
Georgio’s is the definition of a reliable weeknight option when everyone is hungry and no one wants to cook. The pizza leans cheesy and comforting, with options for thick or traditional crusts and familiar toppings kids recognize. Add in sides like wings and wedges and you can easily cover the whole table without stretching the budget.
05
Best late‑night option
Guy's Pizza Co.
North Chardon • Casual Slice And Wings Joint • Late‑Night Pick
Hearty pies, big toppings, and wings that hit the spot when you are craving something substantial after dark.
Guy’s Pizza Co. is built for those nights when the fishing ran late or the campfire went long and you realize nobody ate a proper dinner. The pies are substantial, with generous toppings and plenty of cheese, and the wings are a go‑to add‑on for many locals. It is a solid choice when you want something unfussy and filling without trekking too far from Bass Lake.
