01
Best overall pick
Gionino's Pizzeria
Massillon Road Corridor • Neighborhood Carryout Pizzeria • Local Weeknight Standby
Beloved northeast Ohio chain turning out crispy-edged, cheesy pies that many Green locals default to on busy weeknights.
The Green location of Gionino's stays busy for a reason: the crust comes out crisp without being dry, and the sweet-leaning sauce is instantly familiar if you grew up in the area. Chicken, jojo potatoes, and salads make it easy to feed a crowd without cooking. Call ahead on Friday nights, because the line of pickup orders can stack up fast.
02
Delivery favorite
Romeo's Pizza
Arlington Ridge Area • Casual Delivery-Focused Chain • Best For Delivery
Ohio-born chain known for sweet sauce, creative specialty pies, and late-night delivery around Green.
Romeo's leans into bold flavors, so expect plenty of garlic, cheese, and toppings on most pies. The popular Pepperoni Feast and Great Garlic specialties are heavy enough to split, especially if you add cheesy bread or wings. It is a go-to when you want something a little more indulgent than a basic pepperoni and cheese.
03
Old-school favorite
Regina's Pizza
Southwest Akron • Old-School Thin-Crust Pizzeria • Worth The Short Drive
Classic Akron pizzeria with a loyal following for its thin-crust, edge-to-edge toppings and old-school vibe.
Regina's is not in Green proper, but many locals happily make the quick drive to Akron when they are craving that particular cracker-thin crust. The pies come loaded right to the edge, with just enough char from the deck ovens to balance the sweet red sauce. Grab a small dine-in table or call ahead and bring a stack of boxes home for movie night.
04
Hearty classic
Guiseppe's Pizza
North Akron / Tallmadge Avenue • Family-Style Italian Pizzeria • Best For Hearty Appetites
Family-run spot serving hefty, square-cut pies and homestyle Italian favorites in a no-frills setting.
Guiseppe's is the kind of place where the staff knows regulars by name and the pizza comes out hot, cheesy, and generously portioned. The crust is a touch thicker than many Akron shops, which makes it a smart choice when you have big appetites at the table. Pair a large deluxe pie with a salad and a side of sausage or meatballs and you are set for the night.
05
Date-night pick
Dewey's Pizza
Fairlawn Near Summit Mall • Upscale Craft-Pizza Restaurant • Best For A Night Out
Bright, modern spot near Summit Mall offering gourmet-leaning pies, seasonal toppings, and a solid craft beer list.
When you want something more upscale than takeout, Dewey's in Fairlawn is an easy choice. The menu leans creative, with options like roasted garlic, fresh basil, and specialty white pies alongside the usual pepperoni and sausage. Split a large pizza and a salad, then linger over a beer before heading back down I-77 toward Green.
