Best overall pick
Cocca’s Pizza – Liberty
Belmont Avenue In Liberty • Classic Mahoning Valley Pan Pizza • Local Favorite For All-Around Pizza
Dependable, well-topped pies with that signature Mahoning Valley crust make Cocca’s a go-to from Liberty through Churchill.
Cocca’s Liberty location is close enough to Churchill that many residents treat it as their neighborhood shop. The dough bakes up thick and chewy with a crisp edge, and toppings run from classic pepperoni to saucy chicken combos. It’s as reliable for Friday delivery as it is for a casual dine-in.
02
For crisp pan pizza
Wedgewood Fernando’s Pizza – Liberty
Liberty Township Just South Of Churchill • Crisp-Edged Pan And Specialty Pies • Best For Crust Lovers
Wedgewood Fernando’s is where you go when you want a serious, crunchy-bottomed pan pizza and don’t mind it coming loaded.
The Liberty Wedgewood carries on a beloved Youngstown-area style: square-cut, pan-baked pizza with a light but sturdy crust. Specialty pies like the spinach or hot pepper versions are local talking points, and the cheese gets nicely browned. Call ahead at peak times; they get busy on weekends.
03
Sit-down Italian spot
Belleria Pizza & Italian Restaurant – Girard
Downtown Girard Along State Street • Sit-Down Italian Pizzeria And Restaurant • Best For Lingering Over Dinner
Belleria in Girard blends hefty pizzas with pastas and red-sauce comfort food in a relaxed, family-friendly room.
If your group wants pizza but also a sit-down Italian meal, Belleria is the crowd-pleaser. You can pair a sheet pizza or thick rounds with greens, pastas, and baked dishes that feel straight from a neighborhood kitchen. It’s a comfortable spot for birthdays, team dinners, or meeting up after local games.
04
Quick and kid-friendly
Pizza Joe’s – Girard
Girard Shopping Strip Near The River • Takeout-Focused Neighborhood Pizza Shop • Best For Busy Weeknights
Pizza Joe’s in Girard is the easy choice when you need something everyone will eat, fast and without fuss.
This Pizza Joe’s leans hard into convenience: quick counter service, familiar topping combos, and plenty of deals. The crust is softer and airier than some local pan styles, which kids tend to love. Between the wings, subs, and pizzas, you can cover most cravings with one stop.
05
Classic late-night stop
Ianazone’s Pizza – Liberty
Belmont Corridor North Of Youngstown • Old-School Delivery And Carryout Joint • Late-Night And Game-Day Pick
Ianazone’s leans into big flavors, generous toppings, and late hours that fit right in with game nights and gatherings.
Ianazone’s is one of those places locals grow up on, especially if you’ve ever ordered in for a big family night. The pies are saucier, with bold seasoning and a generous hand on cheese and pepperoni. It’s a smart move for late-night orders or when you’re feeding a big crowd around Churchill and Liberty.
