Best overall pick
Powerhouse Pizza & Subs
Central Camden At Routes 127 And 725 • Lively Small-Town Pizzeria And Sub Shop • Go-To Camden Classic
Big, cheesy pies and hearty subs make Powerhouse the default choice when Camden locals say they’re ordering pizza.
Sitting right at the main intersection in town, Powerhouse is the kind of place where staff recognize repeat orders and the parking lot fills up on Friday nights. The crust leans toward classic Midwestern—sturdy enough for heavy toppings, but still soft at the edge—and their specialty pizzas are generously loaded. It’s also one of the better bets in the area if you’re feeding a crowd and need consistent, quick takeout.

Old-school favorite
Ron's Pizza
Camden Village Strip • Classic Small-Town Pizza Joint • Best For No-Frills Comfort Pizza
Ron's turns out straightforward pies that taste like the pizza you grew up with—simple, familiar, and reliably satisfying.
This is the spot you pick when you want a low-key, unfussy pizza night close to home. Toppings skew traditional—pepperoni, sausage, green peppers, mushrooms—and the focus is on solid execution rather than wild combinations. It’s an easy choice for families or anyone passing through town who wants a quick, familiar-tasting pie without leaving Camden.

Small but mighty
4 J's
Residential Edge Of Camden • Cozy Mom-And-Pop Carryout • Neighborhood Hidden Gem
4 J's is a low-profile spot that locals recommend when you’re looking for friendly service and a well-made, shareable pie.
Tucked a bit off the main drag, 4 J’s has the feel of a true neighborhood operation, with a short menu and a focus on doing the basics well. The pizzas are nicely browned with a good cheese-to-sauce balance, and it’s the kind of place where special requests are handled with a smile. If you like to support smaller, under-the-radar businesses, this is an easy one to add to your Camden rotation.

Best chain option nearby
LaRosa's Pizzeria – Oxford
Uptown Oxford Near Miami University • Regional Cincinnati-Style Pizzeria • Worth-The-Drive Crowd-Pleaser
About 20 minutes from Camden, LaRosa’s in Oxford offers a broad menu and a polished dine-in option when you want more than carryout.
LaRosa’s is a regional favorite for its slightly sweet sauce, thin-to-medium crust, and an array of specialty pies and calzones. The Oxford location pulls in a mix of students, families, and game-day groups, so it’s a lively choice if you’re making an evening of it. With pastas, wings, and salads alongside the pizza, it works especially well when not everyone at the table wants the same thing.

College-town classic
Bruno's Pizza
West High Street In Oxford • Casual Campus-Area Slice Shop • Best For Big Slices And Late Nights
Bruno’s serves oversized, foldable slices and shareable pies that have been part of Oxford’s student life for years.
If you don’t mind a short drive, Bruno’s gives you a very different vibe from Camden’s quieter shops—more bustle, more walk-in slice traffic, and a distinctly college-town energy. The New York-style slices are great when you just want to grab a quick bite, but whole pies with extra cheese or classic pepperoni travel well back to Camden. It’s an especially good pick after Miami University events or when you have friends in town and want pizza with a bit more scene.
