01
Best overall pick
Two Cities Pizza Co.
In Mason • Bustling Ny-And-Chicago-Style Pizzeria • Destination Pick
A clever New York–meets–Chicago theme matched with serious crust and toppings makes this worth the drive from Butlerville.
Two Cities leans into its split personality, offering both crisp New York slices and hearty Chicago deep dish, all done with a chef’s touch. The space feels more like a city hotspot than a suburban strip, with an open kitchen and energetic bar. It is ideal when you want pizza to feel like an outing, not just takeout.
02
Best for historic vibe
The Works
Historic Downtown Loveland • Brick-Oven Restaurant In A Converted Firehouse • Best For A Night Out
Wood-fired pies and a character-filled old firehouse setting make The Works a go-to after a day on the Loveland Bike Trail.
Set in a renovated 1905 firehouse near the Little Miami Scenic Trail, The Works has both charm and substance. The brick-oven pizzas come with well-balanced toppings and nicely blistered crusts, and the menu has enough variety to keep non–pizza lovers happy. Grab a table on the patio when the weather is good and make an evening of it.
03
Classic local chain
LaRosa's Pizzeria
Loveland-Madeira Road Strip • Classic Cincinnati-Style Family Pizzeria • Family Standby
A reliable stop for Cincinnati-style pies, hoagies, and big family tables just a short hop from Butlerville.
LaRosa's is the regional name many locals grew up with, and the Loveland location delivers the familiar thin crust, edge-to-edge toppings, and sweet-leaning sauce. It is especially handy for feeding a crowd after games or school events, with plenty of booths and easy parking. Call ahead for carryout on busy weekend nights when the dining room fills fast.
04
Best for creative pies
Dewey's Pizza
Kenwood Retail Corridor • Craft Pizza And Beer Spot • Best For Gourmet Toppings
Inventive specialty pies, a good tap list, and an open kitchen make Dewey’s worth planning a pizza-focused shopping trip around.
Dewey’s is known for topping combinations that go beyond the usual—think seasonal veggie mixes, drizzle sauces, and upgraded cheeses on a nicely chewy crust. The Kenwood location sits by major shopping, so it is an easy add-on when errands pull you closer to Cincinnati. It is a strong choice when you have mixed tastes at the table and want options beyond pepperoni.
05
Best convenient stop
Donatos Pizza
Near Landen/Maineville • Thin-Crust Ohio Chain Outpost • Easy Weeknight Option
Crispy edge-to-edge thin crust and fast service make this Landen spot a practical go-to from Butlerville on busy evenings.
Donatos specializes in ultra-thin crust cut into party squares, loaded right out to the edge with toppings so every piece feels complete. The Landen location is close enough for a quick pickup run and is set up for efficient carryout and delivery. It is the kind of place locals keep on speed dial for no-fuss pizza nights at home.
