Best overall pick
CJ's Pizza Cridersville
Cridersville Village Center • Classic Small-Town Pizzeria • Go-To Slice For Locals
A hometown favorite turning out hearty, topping-packed pies just steps from Cridersville’s Main Street.
CJ's feels like the kind of place every small town hopes it has: friendly, unpretentious, and focused on generous, cheesy pizza. The crust leans toward classic Midwest style, sturdy enough to handle plenty of toppings without getting soggy. It’s an easy choice for carryout on busy weeknights or a casual family dinner close to home.
02
Family-friendly favorite
Padrone's Pizza Wapakoneta
Downtown Wapakoneta • Casual Dine-In And Carryout • Best For Big Groups And Teams
A roomy, laid-back spot known for crowd-pleasing pizzas and plenty of space for families and teams.
Just a short drive south of Cridersville, Padrone's is a dependable choice when you need to feed a group without overthinking it. The menu runs from classic pepperoni to loaded specialty pies, plus wings and subs to round out the table. It’s the kind of place that works equally well after a youth game or for an easy Friday-night meet-up.
03
Best for craft beer and pies
Beer Barrel Pizza & Grill
West Lima – Allentown Road • Lively Sports Bar Pizzeria • Top Choice For Game Nights
Big, shareable pizzas, plenty of taps, and wall-to-wall TVs make this a natural pick for watching the game.
Beer Barrel pairs substantial pizzas with an equally substantial beer list, drawing fans from all over the Lima–Cridersville area. Crusts are slightly thicker, built for sharing and loading up with toppings, from traditional combos to more creative specialty pies. With spacious booths and lots of screens, it’s where you go when you want pizza to be part of a full night out.
04
Takeout specialist
Fat Jack's Pizza
Northwest Lima – Cable Road • Carryout And Delivery Spot • Best For Late-Night Cravings
A long-running local chain focused on fast, flavorful carryout and delivery pizzas.
Fat Jack's has the feel of a well-practiced operation: you call, they turn out hot, consistent pies without much fuss. The crust is on the thinner, crispier side, with toppings that lean toward generous rather than dainty. It’s especially handy when you want something straightforward and satisfying after a long day or a late event in town.
05
Reliable chain option
Domino's Pizza
South Lima – Cable Court • National Delivery Chain • Fast, Customizable Delivery Pick
A familiar choice with quick delivery, extensive customization, and late-night hours.
For many Cridersville households, Domino's is the easy fallback when convenience matters as much as the pizza itself. The online ordering and tracking make it simple to customize everything from crust style to sauce level, then know exactly when it will arrive. It’s not the most unique option on this list, but it reliably fills the gap when you need pizza on your doorstep in a hurry.
