01
Best overall pick
Pizza Crossing
Downtown Logan • Bustling Small-Town Pizza Parlor • Local Institution
Beloved by Logan locals and Hocking Hills regulars, Pizza Crossing is the classic option for generous pies, oven-baked subs, and a beer after the trails.
Expect a lively dining room, thick layers of cheese, and toppings that run all the way to the edge of the pan. It is a reliable choice for feeding a mixed group, with crowd-pleasing specialty pizzas, pasta, and pitchers for the table. On busy weekends, call ahead or be ready to wait a bit—it is popular for good reason.
02
Best for quick carryout
Cristy's Pizza
West Logan Near Oh-664 • Carryout And Delivery-Focused Pizzeria • Fast Family Option
Cristy’s turns out consistent, customizable pizzas with easy pickup, delivery, and even a drive-thru window for nights when you just want to get back to the cabin.
The Logan location leans hard into convenience, with made-to-order pies ready in short order and a menu that covers wings, subs, and salads along with pizza. It is a smart choice if you are staying north of town toward Carbon Hill and want hot food without a sit-down stop. Order a couple of large specialty pizzas and a pan of cheesy bread, and you are set for a low-key night in.
03
Closest to the caves
Capt. Ron's Pirate Pizza
Hocking Hills Caves Area • Casual Pirate-Themed Pizza Joint • Post-Hike Slice Stop
Just minutes from the caves, Capt. Ron’s is the playful, pirate-decorated spot where hikers grab a hot pie without driving back into town.
You will find simple, satisfying pizzas and subs with a lighthearted, themed atmosphere that kids tend to love. Seating is limited and hours can track the park crowds, so it rewards a bit of planning on busy weekends. It is the kind of place where you shake the dust off your boots, share a couple of large pizzas, and trade trail stories over paper plates.
04
Best stone-baked pies
Papa Dino's Pizzeria
South Bloomingville Near Old Man's Cave • Roadside Pizza And Sub Shop • Trail-Day Refuel
South of Carbon Hill, Papa Dino’s serves stone-baked pizzas, hearty subs, and wings that hit the spot after a long loop around Old Man’s Cave.
The crust here has that baked-on-stone chew and char that fans seek out, with plenty of topping combinations to keep things interesting. Portions are generous, so one pizza and an order of wings will easily cover a couple of hungry hikers. It is an easy swing off the main park routes, making it a natural finish line for a full day in the gorge.
05
Best north-side option
Laurelville Pizza
Laurelville Village Center • Laid-Back Village Pizzeria • Scenic-Drive Stop
If your Hocking Hills day sends you north toward Rock House or Laurelville, this friendly pizzeria is the go-to for a low-key pie and a quiet booth.
The room is simple and welcoming, the kind of small-town spot where regulars linger over refills while their pizzas finish in the oven. Expect straightforward, well-executed pies and familiar appetizers rather than anything fussy, which suits road-trippers just fine. It pairs nicely with a scenic loop drive, giving you a relaxed place to land before heading back toward Carbon Hill.
