Classic Ohio Valley slice
DiCarlo's Pizza - Steubenville
Downtown Steubenville • Counter-Service Square-Cut Pizzeria • Local Institution
The benchmark Ohio Valley square-cut pizza, baked on trays and finished with handfuls of cheese as it comes out of the oven.
If you ask Irondale locals where they drive for a classic regional pie, DiCarlo's is usually the first name you hear. The menu is bare-bones, but that crunchy, airy crust with cool cheese on top is the whole point, and many people order by the sheet to bring home. Expect a no-frills counter, quick service, and a steady stream of regulars grabbing boxes to-go.

Old-school family recipe
Giannamore's Pizza
Steubenville South Side • Takeout-Focused Neighborhood Shop • Best For Take-Home Feasts
Thick, edge-to-edge pizzas with a sweet-leaning sauce that have fueled countless game nights and family gatherings.
Giannamore's feels like the kind of small-town pizza shop that has changed very little over the decades, and that is exactly the charm. The crust runs a bit thicker and softer than many Ohio Valley spots, with generous cheese and a sauce that locals either swear by or drive across town for. Call ahead on busy evenings; big party orders from around the valley can stack up fast.
03
Sit-down Italian with pizza
Naples Spaghetti House
Near Steubenville Downtown • Vintage Italian Dining Room • Best For Lingering Dinners
A long-running Italian restaurant where the pizza is as beloved as the pasta, served in a cozy, old-school setting.
When a simple slice is not enough and you want a proper night out, locals make the drive to Naples. The pizzas lean classic Italian-American, with a slightly crisp crust and balanced toppings that pair well with a salad and a carafe of red sauce-covered pasta on the side. It is the kind of place where multi-generation family photos on the wall tell you the community has been coming here for years.
04
Reliable chain option
Domino's Pizza - Toronto
Toronto Commercial Strip • Carryout And Delivery Chain Shop • Best For Late-Night Delivery
A go-to for fast, customizable pizzas and sides that will deliver out toward Irondale when local shops are closed.
For many people in and around Irondale, Domino's in nearby Toronto is the weeknight workhorse. Online ordering and tracking make it easy to get a pie headed your way after a late shift or a ballgame, and the mix-and-match deals make feeding a crowd affordable. It is not trying to be artisan, but for consistent crusts, reliable toppings, and long delivery hours, it earns its spot on the list.
05
Family-friendly dine-in
Pizza Hut - East Liverpool
East Liverpool Shopping Corridor • Casual Chain Pizzeria • Best For Kids And Groups
Classic pan pizzas, wings, and a familiar dining room setup that makes it easy to corral a group after errands or a game.
East Liverpool’s Pizza Hut is a popular stop when families from Irondale are already in town for shopping or school events. The thick, buttery pan crust and stuffed-crust options keep kids happy, while the salad bar and shareable appetizers round out the table for adults. It is not the most adventurous choice, but for birthday parties, team celebrations, or an easy sit-down meal, it reliably does the job.
