Closest neighborhood go-to
Enon Pizza Company
Enon • Small-Town Carryout Pizzeria • Best Quick Stop From Green Meadows
A no-fuss local shop serving solid, generously topped pies just down the road from Green Meadows.
Enon Pizza Company is the kind of place where the staff knows regulars by name and the pizza boxes are a Friday-night staple. Expect chewy hand-tossed crust, plenty of cheese, and toppings that lean classic rather than trendy. It’s an easy choice when you want something close, hot, and reliably good without driving into the bigger cities.
02
Classic Italian mainstay
Giovanni's
Fairborn • Old-School Italian Restaurant And Pizzeria • Best Sit-Down Family Dinner
A Fairborn institution known for red-sauce comfort food and hearty pizzas in a cozy, old-school dining room.
Giovanni's has been drawing pizza fans from around the region for decades, and it’s an easy hop from Green Meadows. The pies lean traditional, with a slightly thicker crust, robust sauce, and plenty of Italian sausage and pepperoni in the spotlight. Go when you want a full dinner out—bread, salad, pizza, and maybe a plate of pasta to share at a big table.
03
Dayton-style legend
Marion's Piazza
Beavercreek • Dayton-Style Thin-Crust Pizza Hall • Best For Big Groups
A sprawling, retro-style dining room serving party-cut thin-crust pies loaded edge-to-edge with toppings.
Marion's is a must-try if you want to understand the Dayton-area take on pizza: cracker-thin crust, sweet-leaning sauce, and finely chopped toppings scattered to every corner. The Beavercreek location has plenty of seating, making it a favorite for birthday parties, team outings, and casual meetups. Order a couple of large specialty pies, grab a pitcher of soda or beer, and settle in for a very local experience.
04
Creative crowd-pleaser
Beavercreek Pizza Dive
Beavercreek • Inventive Specialty-Pie Shop • Best For Adventurous Toppings
A destination for over-the-top specialty pizzas, from loaded meat lovers to quirky, sauce-forward creations.
Beavercreek Pizza Dive leans into big flavors and fun, with a menu full of specialty pies that go way beyond pepperoni and mushrooms. The dough has a satisfying chew, and the kitchen doesn’t skimp on cheese or toppings. It’s a smart choice when you’ve got a crowd that wants to split a few creative pizzas and argue about which one wins the night.
05
Retro tavern favorite
Hickory Inn
Springfield • Casual Tavern With Famous Pizza • Best For Pizza And A Pint
A longtime Springfield hangout where many locals swear the pizza is as essential as the cold beer and wood-paneled vibe.
Hickory Inn feels like a time capsule in the best way, with dim lighting, wood booths, and servers who move at a confident, unhurried pace. The pizza comes out on the thinner side, cut into squares and best enjoyed hot at the table with a round of drinks. It’s a great option when you’re willing to drive a bit farther from Green Meadows for a classic bar-pizza night.
