Slice-shop favorite
Ramundo's Pizzeria - Mt. Washington
Mt. Washington Business District • Ny-Style Slice Shop • Top Late-Night Option
A no-fuss counter joint known for big, foldable slices, Ramundo's is a go-to when you want quick, satisfying pizza without a full sit-down meal.
Just west of Dry Run in Mt. Washington, Ramundo's feels like it was lifted straight from a city street corner, right down to the display case of pies ready to reheat by the slice. The crust runs thin and chewy with just enough char, and the classic cheese or pepperoni slices are exactly what you want after a late shift or a night out. There are a few tables if you want to stay, but it shines as a grab-and-go stop on your way through the neighborhood.

Destination-worthy choice
Joe's Pizza Napoli
Historic Downtown Milford • Wood-Fired Neapolitan Spot • Best For Pizza Purists
A short drive from Dry Run, Joe's turns out blistered, wood-fired pies with simple toppings and serious attention to dough and timing.
When you feel like making an evening of it, head out to Milford for Joe's Pizza Napoli and plan to linger over a bottle of wine and a couple of carefully charred pies. The menu leans restrained and Italian, highlighting good ingredients on a tender, leopard-spotted crust that stays light even when loaded with toppings. It is a more deliberate, sit-and-savor experience than your average carryout run, and worth the extra miles when quality is the priority.
