01
Best overall pick
Johnnies Villa Pizza
Central Johnstown • Classic Hometown Pizzeria • Local Institution
A Johnstown staple since the 1970s, known for hearty, nostalgic pies and a true small-town family vibe.
If you ask longtime residents where they grew up eating pizza, Johnnies Villa is usually the first name you hear. The crust lands in that satisfying middle ground between thin and pan, with plenty of cheese and old-school toppings like pepperoni, sausage, and banana peppers. It’s the go-to place when you want a sit-down meal that feels like a local tradition rather than a quick grab-and-go.
02
Best for carry-out nights
Plaza Pizza
South Main Street Corridor • Neighborhood Carry-Out Pizzeria • Best For Big Groups
Reliable, shareable pizza with well-priced combos that make feeding a crowd surprisingly easy.
Plaza Pizza is the spot locals call when there’s a game on, kids are over, or no one feels like cooking. The pizzas are generously topped, the menu is straightforward, and their combo deals work well when you’re ordering for a whole family or team. It’s especially handy if you want consistent pies and fast pickup right off South Main.
03
Best for sit-down family dinners
Bavellies Pizzeria
Northern Side Of Johnstown • Family Italian Pizza Spot • Best For Families
Cozy, family-friendly pizzeria with a broader Italian menu that makes everyone at the table happy.
Bavellies is a solid choice when you want pizza but someone else is in the mood for pasta, salad, or wings. The pies lean classic Midwest style, with a sturdy crust and plenty of toppings, and the atmosphere is relaxed enough for younger kids without feeling chaotic. It’s the kind of place where you can linger over a couple of pizzas and not feel rushed out the door.
04
Most convenient delivery
Domino's Pizza
Along East Coshocton Street • National Delivery Chain • Fast Delivery Go-To
A dependable choice for late nights and quick delivery, with all the familiar chain options and deals.
When speed and predictability matter more than trying something new, the Johnstown Domino's fills the gap. Online ordering and frequent specials make it easy to feed a group on short notice, especially on busy weeknights. It’s also one of the more reliable late-evening options when other local spots are winding down.
05
Worth the drive
Elliot's Wood Fired Kitchen & Tap
Newark, Easy Drive From Johnstown • Wood-Fired Gastropub Pizzeria • Worth-The-Drive Pick
Elevated, wood-fired pizzas with creative toppings and a strong craft beer list about 20 minutes from town.
If you’re willing to hop over to Newark, Elliot's is where you’ll find blistered, wood-fired crusts and more adventurous topping combinations than the typical small-town menu. It doubles as a casual gastropub, so you can pair your pizza with a local beer and a few shareable starters. It’s a great option for a date night or a slightly more upscale outing that still keeps pizza at the center of the table.
