01
Best overall pick
Starlight Pizza and Subs
Bloomingburg Main Street • Small-Town Pizza And Sub Shop • Local Favorite
A no-frills Main Street standby serving generously topped pies and sturdy subs.
If you want to stay right in Bloomingburg, Starlight is the obvious move. The pizzas lean classic—plenty of cheese, a sauce with some zip, and pepperoni that gets pleasantly crispy at the edges. It’s the kind of place where a large pie, a couple of subs, and a stack of napkins can easily feed a small crew after a game or a long day on the road.
02
Best for families
Donatos Pizza
Washington Court House • Ohio-Style Thin-Crust Chain • Reliable Crowd-Pleaser
Crisp, edge-to-edge pepperoni on a thin crust makes this an easy pick for sharing with a group.
A short drive south lands you at Donatos, a regional favorite known for its square-cut, thin-crust pies that are built to share. The edge-to-edge toppings mean every bite gets plenty of flavor, and the menu has enough salads, subs, and wings to keep non-pizza people happy. It’s a straightforward, dependable option when you need to feed a family or a team without overthinking it.
03
Classic Columbus-style pick
Terita's Pizza
North Columbus • Old-School Square-Cut Pizzeria • Best For Classic Columbus-Style
A long-running Columbus staple turning out ultra-thin, square-cut pies with a loyal local following.
Terita’s is the sort of old-school spot that keeps people coming back decade after decade. Expect a cracker-thin crust, a slightly sweet sauce, and toppings scattered all the way to the edge before the pie is cut into neat little squares. It’s a bit of a drive from Bloomingburg, but fans will tell you a Terita’s pepperoni and sausage pizza is worth planning a night around.
04
Hearty campus classic
Adriatico's New York Style Pizza
Near Ohio State Campus • Hearty Campus Pizza Joint • Best For Big Appetites
Huge, cheesy pies with a chewy crust that have fueled Ohio State students for generations.
Adriatico’s is legendary around the Ohio State campus, and it makes a fun destination if you’re heading into the city anyway. The menu runs from foldable New York-style slices to hefty deep-dish pans loaded with cheese and toppings. Order one of the big specialty pies and you’ll have more than enough to share—and probably leftovers for the next day back in Bloomingburg.
05
Best for night owls
Mikey's Late Night Slice
Downtown Columbus • Funky Slice Shop And Bar • Late-Night Slice Pick
Creative, oversized slices and a laid-back vibe make this a go-to stop after concerts or games in the city.
Mikey’s is all about big slices, bold toppings, and a sense of humor. You can keep it simple with pepperoni or branch out into rotating specials that get a little adventurous, all eaten standing at a high-top or taken to go. If you find yourself in downtown Columbus for a show or a night out, it’s an easy, satisfying way to cap off the evening before the drive back toward Bloomingburg.
