Best overall pick
Pisanello's Pizza
Downtown Main Street • Classic Midwest Pizzeria • Downtown Staple
A long-running downtown favorite known for generous toppings, classic crust, and a true small-town pizza-parlor feel.
Pisanello’s is the kind of place regulars grow up with, from kids’ birthday parties to late-night slices after events on Main Street. The pies lean hearty, with plenty of cheese, well-seasoned sauce, and a menu that covers everything from simple pepperoni to loaded specialty combinations. It’s an easy first stop if you want the classic Bowling Green pizza experience in the heart of downtown.

Campus classic
Campus Pollyeyes
Bgsu Campus Hangout • Student-Friendly Pizza Pub • Best For Late-Night Bites
Beloved by students for its signature stuffed breadsticks, hearty pizzas, and lively game-day atmosphere.
Campus Pollyeyes is practically a rite of passage for Bowling Green State University students and a fun detour for visitors. The menu is built around indulgence—think thick, cheesy pizzas and overstuffed breadsticks that easily feed a crowd. Swing by before or after a game for a casual, high-energy spot where the TV’s on, the portions are big, and nobody leaves hungry.

Family sit-down pick
Pagliai's
South Main Corridor • Old-School Italian-American Joint • Best For Sit-Down Pizza Night
A sit-down staple offering classic pies, pasta, and sandwiches in a cozy, old-school dining room.
Pagliai’s has the reassuring feel of a long-established neighborhood restaurant, with red-sauce comfort food and pizza as the main draw. Crusts are crisp but sturdy, toppings are straightforward, and the menu makes it easy to please both picky kids and nostalgic adults. It’s a great choice when you want a relaxed, dine-in pizza night rather than a quick slice on the go.

Go-to delivery night choice
Heavenly Pizza
East Wooster Carryout Strip • Delivery-Focused Neighborhood Shop • Top Delivery Option
A reliable local operation turning out saucy, cheesy pies that are built for carryout and delivery.
Heavenly Pizza leans into the comfort of a hot box of pizza arriving at your door, with a crust and sauce that hold up well on the ride home. The menu covers the essentials—classic toppings, a few specialties, and sides like breadsticks and wings—making it easy to order for a mix of tastes. It’s a smart pick for low-key nights in, study sessions, or feeding a crowd without leaving the house.
