01
Best overall pick
Rubi's Pizza & Grill
North End Steubenville • Casual Bar-And-Grill Pizzeria • Best Overall Pick
A lively neighborhood grill turning out hearty pizzas alongside wings, burgers, and cold beer.
Rubi's feels like the kind of place regulars rely on a couple nights a week: relaxed, friendly, and focused on generous portions. The pizza leans classic American—chewy crust, plenty of cheese, and toppings that actually cover the slice—backed up by a full menu of bar favorites. It’s a strong all-around option when your group wants pizza but a few people are craving something else.
02
Classic Ohio Valley tray
DiCarlo's Pizza Downtown
Downtown Steubenville • Classic Ohio Valley Tray Pizza Shop • Essential Old-School Stop
Iconic square-cut trays with cheese and toppings sprinkled on after the bake, served in a no-nonsense downtown storefront.
If you want to understand Ohio Valley pizza, downtown DiCarlo's is the place to start. The dough is baked first, then hit with sauce, a snowfall of cheese, and pepperoni right before it reaches your hands, giving each square a mix of hot crust and just-melting toppings. It’s quick, cash-in-hand kind of pizza that locals grow up on and keep coming back for.
03
Best family sit-down
Bruno's Pizza
Steubenville West Side • Family Italian Restaurant With Pizza • Best For Families
A cozy Italian spot where pizza shares the spotlight with pastas, subs, and family-style comfort dishes.
Bruno's is the kind of sit-down pizzeria where you can stretch a meal into an evening, with big booths, friendly service, and plenty of red-sauce comfort food. The pizzas come with a slightly thicker, softer crust and crowd-pleasing toppings, great for kids and less adventurous eaters. Pair a pie with a salad and a pasta to keep everyone at the table happy.
04
Quick slice stop
DiCarlo's Pizza - Wintersville
Wintersville Strip • Takeout-Focused Square-Cut Pizzeria • Quick Slice Stop
A busy Wintersville outpost for DiCarlo's signature square-cut trays, built for grab-and-go pizza runs.
The Wintersville DiCarlo's brings the same post-bake cheese and pepperoni style to a more suburban stretch, making it convenient if you’re swinging out from Empire on errands. Most people grab boxes to go, and the operation is tuned for speed, especially at peak hours. Order a few trays cut into small squares and you’ve got easy fuel for game nights or river outings.
05
Delivery go-to
Vocelli Pizza of Steubenville
Sunset Boulevard Corridor • Delivery-Focused Chain Pizzeria • Delivery And Late-Night Go-To
A reliable chain shop with a big menu, from customizable pizzas to wings, breadsticks, and dessert.
When convenience matters more than ambiance, Vocelli is a dependable choice within reach of Empire. The crust is on the softer side, with plenty of options for extra cheese, specialty pies, and thick-cut pepperoni, plus all the usual sides. It’s especially useful for bigger groups or busy weeknights when you just need hot pizza to show up at the door.
