01
Best overall pick
Gionino's Pizzeria
Alliance - West State Street • Classic Ohio-Style Pizzeria • Local Favorite
Hearty, edge-to-edge cheese pizzas and crispy fried chicken make this Alliance standby worth the short drive from Homeworth.
Gionino's does the kind of square-cut, loaded pies northeast Ohio is known for, with toppings piled right to the crust. Call ahead on weekend evenings; the small storefront gets busy, but orders are packed hot and travel well back toward Homeworth.
02
Best sit-down pie
Ezio's Italian Restaurant
Downtown Salem • Family Italian Restaurant With Pizza • Best For Families
A cozy dining room, classic red-sauce menu, and sturdy thin-crust pies make Ezio's a natural choice for a lingering pizza night.
Locals head to Ezio's when they want more than just a quick box of slices. The pizza leans thin but sturdy, with a sauce that skews slightly sweet and plenty of old-school topping combinations, and you can round out the table with big bowls of pasta or a carafe of house wine.
03
Old-school takeout choice
Pizza Oven
Downtown Louisville • Old-School Takeout Pizza Shop • Best For Carryout
Known in Stark County for its slightly sweet sauce and generous pepperoni, Pizza Oven is a reliable grab-and-go option.
This no-frills counter spot focuses on what it does best: consistently baked pies with plenty of cheese and a crust that holds up in the box. Many Homeworth-area families swing through Louisville while running errands, then head home with a sheet pizza, wings, and a bag of Jo Jo potatoes.
04
Best for big groups
East of Chicago Pizza
Minerva Commercial Strip • Buffet-Style Pizza Chain Outpost • Best For Groups And Teams
With flexible buffet options and thick, cheesy pan pizzas, this Minerva spot suits hungry families and youth teams.
East of Chicago leans into crowd-pleasing comfort: pan and thin-crust pies, dessert pizza, salad bar, and plenty of fountain drinks. It is an easy post-game stop if you are coming back toward Homeworth from Minerva, and the staff is used to accommodating big tables and last-minute group orders.
05
Small-town classic
Mary's Pizza
Lisbon Village Center • Small-Town Square-Cut Pizzeria • Budget-Friendly Pick
A low-key Lisbon mainstay turning out nostalgic, square-cut pies with a loyal following and very friendly prices.
The room is plain and the menu is short, but Mary's hits all the small-town pizzeria notes: buttery crust, plenty of cheese, and portions that stretch a family budget. It is a good choice if you are winding through Lisbon on a weekend drive and want something that tastes like it has been on the menu for decades.
