01
Best overall pick
Dewey's Pizza – Anderson
Anderson Towne Center • Family-Friendly Craft Pizzeria • Best For Families And Groups
Creative specialty pies, an open kitchen, and genuinely warm service make this the east-side crowd-pleaser.
Dewey's Anderson location is an easy run up Beechmont Avenue from Coldstream and consistently delivers well-balanced, inventive pies. The crust has enough chew to satisfy purists, while toppings lean from kid-friendly classics to roasted veggies and spicy combos. Expect a short wait at peak times, but the bustling, casual room and reliable execution keep locals coming back.
02
Detroit-style standout
Taglio
Columbia-Tusculum • Detroit-Style Bar Pizzeria • Best For Crispy-Edged Square Pies
Thick, caramelized-edge squares with punchy toppings make Taglio worth the quick hop along Columbia Parkway.
If you like your pizza in hefty, cheesy slabs, Taglio’s Detroit-style pans are the move. The crust is airy inside with a deep, crackly edge, and the toppings skew creative without feeling gimmicky. It works equally well as a casual dine-in stop with a drink or a grab-and-go option before heading back toward the river.
03
Classic New York slice
Ramundo's Pizzeria
Mt. Lookout Square • New York-Style Slice Shop • Best For Late-Night Slices
Oversized foldable slices and a no-frills counter-service setup make this an easygoing east-side staple.
Ramundo's in Mt. Lookout is the spot when you’re craving a big, classic New York-style slice without overthinking it. The thin crust holds up to generous cheese and toppings, and you can order by the slice or grab a whole pie to haul back toward Coldstream. It’s especially handy after a game, a beer in the square, or any night when ‘just good pizza’ is all you need.
04
Cincinnati classic
LaRosa's Pizzeria – Anderson
Beechmont Avenue In Anderson • Family-Oriented Local Chain • Best For Picky Eaters And Big Orders
A Cincinnati institution with sweet-leaning sauce, lots of topping choices, and an easygoing dining room and carryout setup.
For many east-siders, LaRosa's is the taste of Cincinnati pizza, and the Anderson location is one of the most convenient for Coldstream. The menu runs wide—pizza, hoagies, wings, and pasta—so it’s an easy choice when everyone wants something different. It’s also set up well for large carryout and delivery orders into nearby river neighborhoods.
05
Neighborhood slice spot
Lucy Blue Pizza – Anderson
Clough Pike In Anderson Township • Casual By-The-Slice Pizzeria • Best For Quick Takeout
A laid-back east-side outpost known for generous toppings, easygoing service, and grab-and-go convenience.
Lucy Blue’s Anderson shop brings the brand’s by-the-slice sensibility closer to Coldstream, just off the I-275 loop. You can pop in for a couple of hot slices or call ahead for a whole pie loaded with classic or veggie-friendly toppings. It’s an ideal choice when you want good pizza without dealing with a full sit-down meal or a long drive.
