01
Best overall pick
LaRosa’s Pizzeria – Delhi
Delhi Pike • Classic Cincinnati-Style Family Pizzeria • Local Favorite
A go-to Delhi Pike stop for crowd-pleasing pies, big booths, and a very West Side take on Cincinnati-style pizza.
If you ask around Delshire where people order from on a busy Friday, LaRosa’s in Delhi comes up fast. The crust is on the thinner side, cut into squares, and loaded with familiar toppings that make feeding a group easy. It’s a comfortable dine-in spot but also dialed in for carryout when you just want to grab boxes and get home.
02
Classic West Side slice joint
Queen City Pizza
Westwood / Price Hill Corridor • Old-School Neighborhood Pizzeria • Best For Hearty Takeout
A no-nonsense pizza shop known for generously topped pies and reliable takeout just a quick drive from Delshire.
Queen City Pizza feels like the kind of spot that has quietly fueled West Side families for decades. Expect thick layers of cheese, plenty of pepperoni, and that slightly crisp edge you get from well-seasoned pans. It’s more counter-service than hangout, so think of it as a strong option when you want serious toppings and a quick pickup on your way home.
03
West Side institution
Trotta’s Pizza – Westwood
Westwood • Carryout-Focused Neighborhood Shop • Best For Game-Day Orders
A long-running Westwood favorite with hefty, sauce-forward pies that are built for sharing during the big game.
Trotta’s is the kind of place where regulars know exactly which size and topping combo they want before they call. The sauce leans bold and slightly sweet, the cheese is generous, and the pizzas are sturdy enough to hold up during a long night of sports. Order ahead on weekends; this shop gets busy when everyone on the West Side has the same idea.
04
Best for a night out
Your Mom’s Pizzeria
Mt. Adams / Near Downtown • Casual Late-Night Slice Shop • Late-Night Pick
A fun Mt. Adams pizzeria where big slices, creative toppings, and nightlife energy make it worth the drive from Delshire.
If you’re already heading into the city for a concert or a bar night, Your Mom’s is a solid way to bookend the evening. Slices are large, foldable, and easy to take on the go, with plenty of topping combinations if you want to stray from plain cheese or pepperoni. It’s more lively than laid-back, so expect a bit of a scene, especially on weekends.
05
Best for creative pies
Dewey’s Pizza – Clifton
Clifton By Uc • Modern, Sit-Down Pizzeria • Best For Families And Groups
A short hop from the West Side, Dewey’s in Clifton delivers inventive specialty pies and an easygoing dining room that works well for groups.
Dewey’s is a regional favorite for people who like their pizza with a bit of flair, from seasonal specials to signature combos you won’t find at older-school parlors. The open kitchen keeps kids entertained while you wait, and sharing a couple of large pies lets everyone try a slice or two of something new. Plan on parking and a short walk, but the atmosphere and quality make it a worthwhile outing from Delshire.
