Best overall pick
Blue Room
Downtown Kirby • Classic Small‑Town Bar With Pizza • Local Hangout With Surprisingly Good Pies
Kirby’s own Blue Room is where you go for a cold drink, a game on TV, and a better‑than‑you‑expect bar pizza.
Set right on Main Street, the Blue Room is the rare village bar where the pizza is genuinely part of the draw, not just an afterthought. The crust leans hearty and golden, piled with straightforward toppings like pepperoni, sausage, and extra cheese that hit the spot after work or a ball game. It’s noisy, friendly, and unpretentious—exactly the kind of place regulars recommend when you ask where to get pizza without leaving Kirby.
02
Best for classic pies
Don Tomasso's Pizza
Upper Sandusky • Old‑School Pizzeria And Italian Joint • Sit‑Down Spot For Red‑Sauce Comfort
A short drive into Upper Sandusky gets you to Don Tomasso’s, a longtime favorite for generously topped, classic Midwest‑style pizza.
Don Tomasso’s feels like the kind of family pizzeria every small town used to have—red‑sauce plates, checkered‑table energy, and servers who recognize regulars. The pizza comes out on the thicker side with a chewy crust, plenty of cheese, and toppings that stretch all the way to the edge. It’s an easy choice when you want to make an evening of it rather than just grabbing a box to go.
03
Best for takeout and delivery
East of Chicago Pizza
Upper Sandusky East Side • Regional Pizza Chain Carryout • Go‑To For Crowd‑Pleasing Takeout
East of Chicago in Upper Sandusky is where many Kirby families turn when they need reliable, big‑topping pizzas fast.
This shop leans into the brand’s trademark loaded pies—think thick, airy crusts under serious amounts of cheese and toppings. The buffet‑style options and frequent specials make it easy to feed a team, youth group, or extended family without overthinking the order. Call ahead from Kirby, swing through town, and your stack of boxes is usually ready by the time you pull in.
04
Best for families
Pizza Hut
Near Us‑23 In Upper Sandusky • Sit‑Down Chain Pizzeria • Familiar Stop For Kids And Groups
Upper Sandusky’s Pizza Hut offers the classic pan pizzas and roomy booths that make it an easy family stop from Kirby.
If you’ve got picky eaters or a mixed‑age group, the menu here is predictable in the best way—pan crusts, stuffed crusts, breadsticks, wings, and plenty of soft drinks. The dining room layout works well for sports teams and birthday dinners, and you can still pivot to carryout if everyone is tired and just wants to head home. For many locals, it’s the default choice when no one wants to argue about where to go.
05
Worth‑the‑drive pick
Carmar Gardens
Carey • Cozy Italian Restaurant And Pizzeria • Best For A Relaxed Sit‑Down Meal
In nearby Carey, Carmar Gardens serves pizzas alongside pastas and salads in a relaxed, old‑school Italian setting.
The pizza here leans thinner with a crisp bite, making it a nice contrast to heavier bar pies and chain pan crusts. You can pair a pie with antipasto or pasta and take your time over dinner instead of rushing back out the door. It’s a solid option when you’re willing to drive a bit farther from Kirby for a more rounded Italian meal that still puts pizza at the center of the table.
