Best overall pick
Pizza Crossing
Downtown Logan • Bustling Family Pizzeria • Local Favorite
Big, generously topped pies and a lively small-town dining room make Pizza Crossing a destination in its own right.
If locals had to vote on one must-try pizza near Hemlock, Pizza Crossing would be at the top of the list. The crust is sturdy enough for heavy toppings but still has a pleasant chew, and the shop is known for loading on cheese and pepperoni. Go for a classic large with their signature toppings and a side of garlic bread, and expect a crowd on weekends after Hocking Hills hikes and local ballgames.

Best for delivery and carryout
Cristy's Pizza
West Logan Corridor • Carryout And Delivery Pizza Shop • Best For Takeout
Cristy's turns out consistently good, customizable pies that travel well back to cabins and homes around Hemlock.
When you want pizza without a sit-down commitment, Cristy's is the reliable option a short drive from Hemlock. The menu leans classic—think pepperoni, sausage, and veggie combinations—but you can build your own with a range of toppings and sauces. It’s an easy choice for feeding a group after a long day on the road or on the trails, with quick service and solid value on large orders.
03
Old-school option
Papa Dino's Pizzeria
Near Logan Town Center • Retro Dine-In And Carryout Pizzeria • Best For Classic Pies
Papa Dino's offers a throwback pizza parlor vibe with straightforward, well-executed pies and subs.
Papa Dino's feels like the kind of place that has been quietly feeding locals for decades. The pizzas are classic Midwest style with a medium crust, plenty of cheese, and familiar toppings, plus a lineup of subs and appetizers if you want more than a pie. It’s a low-key spot to linger over a pitcher of soda and a large pizza, especially if you appreciate a no-frills, old-school atmosphere.

Most fun atmosphere
Capt. Ron's Pirate Pizza
Lake Logan Area • Seasonal Lakeside Pizza Stand • Best For Lake Days
Capt. Ron's serves up playful, hearty pizza right by the water, perfect after a day on Lake Logan.
For something a little different than a standard storefront, head to Capt. Ron's near Lake Logan. The menu keeps things simple—pizza, cheesy bread, and a few easy sides—but the setting is the real draw, with picnic tables and a relaxed, on-the-water feel. It’s a fun stop for families or groups wrapping up boating, paddling, or fishing who want a hot, unfussy pie without leaving the lake area.
05
Best family-friendly stop
Clay's Cafe
Somerset Village Center • Casual Cafe With Pizza And Ice Cream • Best For Families
Clay's Cafe pairs well-made pizzas with ice cream and a small-town main street setting that’s worth the drive from Hemlock.
In Somerset, Clay's Cafe is the kind of place where kids get excited about dessert and adults are pleasantly surprised by the pizza. The crust is slightly thicker with a homey, baked-in-house feel, and toppings lean toward classic crowd-pleasers, making it easy to share a few pies. Plan to linger a bit—between the friendly service, the ice cream counter, and the laid-back pace, it feels like a small road trip reward.
