01
Closest to home
Angilo's Pizza (Golf Manor)
Golf Manor • Old-School Carryout Pizzeria • Neighborhood Standby
Classic Cincinnati-style pies cut into squares, made for easy carryout after a round at the nearby courses.
If you want something you can pick up in a few minutes without leaving the village, Angilo's is the go-to. Expect a thinner crust, plenty of cheese, and that nostalgic, slightly sweet sauce locals grew up on. It’s the kind of spot where a large pepperoni and a side of breadsticks will cover the whole group without overthinking it.
02
Best overall pick
Dewey's Pizza (Kenwood)
Kenwood • Lively, Family-Friendly Pizzeria • Best For Families
Inventive specialty pies, well-executed classics, and a buzzy dining room just a short hop up Montgomery Road.
Dewey's in Kenwood is where Golf Manor families head when they want dinner to feel a bit like an outing. The open kitchen, big salads, and creative topping combos (think fig, prosciutto, or roasted garlic) make it easy to please both adventurous eaters and plain-cheese purists. Plan to wait a bit at peak times, but the consistently crisp, chewy crust is worth it.
03
For giant slices
Ramundo's Pizzeria
Mt. Lookout • Casual New York–Style Slice Shop • Late-Night Pick
Huge foldable slices and classic New York–style pies in a low-key spot perched above the square.
Ramundo's is the answer when only a giant, greasy-in-a-good-way slice will do. From Golf Manor, it’s an easy drive over to Mt. Lookout for a quick slice at the counter or a full pie to take home. The thin, floppy crust, generous toppings, and friendly, no-frills vibe make it a favorite among students, night owls, and anyone craving a city-style slice close to home.
04
Best for a night out
Fireside Pizza
Walnut Hills • Wood-Fired Pizzeria In A Historic Firehouse • Best For Date Night
Neapolitan-leaning pies baked in a big wood-fired oven, served with local beers in a restored firehouse.
If you’re willing to make a short drive for atmosphere, Fireside delivers both charm and excellent pizza. The blistered, chewy crust and simple, ingredient-focused toppings feel a world away from standard delivery pies. Grab a table, order a couple of seasonal specials, and linger over a pint before heading back to Golf Manor.
05
For pizza purists
Saint Francis Apizza
Hyde Park • Tiny Artisan Apizza Shop • Destination For Serious Pies
A small, focused menu of carefully fired New Haven–style pies that reward a planned visit.
Saint Francis Apizza is the kind of place you build an evening around rather than swing by on a whim. The menu is short, the attention to dough and char is obsessive, and the pies arrive with just the right balance of chew, crisp, and smoke. From Golf Manor it’s a quick drive down Erie Avenue, but the quality makes it feel like a special trip.
