Best overall pick
Tony's Pizza
Galloway • Classic Columbus‑Style Pizzeria • Local Favorite
Thin, crispy‑edged pies and generous toppings make Tony’s a go‑to for Lake Darby and Galloway residents.
Tony’s is one of the closest true pizzerias to Lake Darby, and it leans into that classic central‑Ohio style: a crackery thin crust, edge‑to‑edge toppings, and a balanced, slightly sweet sauce. Regulars swear by the pepperoni and sausage combo and the way the cheese caramelizes at the rim. Call ahead on weekend evenings—this small shop gets busy with neighborhood orders fast.
02
Best for takeout night
Pizza Corner
Galloway • Carryout And Delivery Pizza Shop • Reliable All‑Rounder
A straightforward neighborhood shop turning out solid pies, wings, and subs just east of Lake Darby.
Pizza Corner is the kind of unfussy spot you keep on speed dial for easy weeknight dinners. The crust is a touch thicker than many Columbus‑style places, but still bakes up with a good crunch, and the menu has plenty of crowd‑pleasers like bacon‑loaded specialty pies and cheesy garlic bread. It’s a practical choice when you want consistent pizza and a few extras to feed a mixed group.
03
Best for families
Flyers Pizza & Subs (Hilliard)
Hilliard • Casual Family Pizzeria • Family‑Friendly Classic
A west‑side staple with roomy dine‑in space, kid‑friendly combos, and reliably crispy thin‑crust pies.
Flyers has several west‑side locations, and the Hilliard shop is an easy hop from Lake Darby when you want to sit down for pizza instead of just grabbing a box. Their signature crust is thin but sturdy, with a noticeable crunch that holds up under heavier toppings. Add in subs, salads, and a laid‑back dining room, and it becomes an easy choice for family dinners or team outings after games.
04
Best Columbus‑style thin crust
Massey’s Pizza (Hilliard)
Hilliard • Thin‑Crust Pizzeria • Old‑School Favorite
A long‑running Columbus brand known for ultra‑thin, square‑cut pies piled with toppings.
Massey’s brings a more old‑school vibe, with a recipe that’s been refined over decades in central Ohio. The crust is very thin and crackly, cut into small squares that are perfect for sharing around a table or over a game on TV. It’s a strong pick when you want that distinctly local take on pizza, especially with classic toppings like pepperoni, banana peppers, and extra cheese.
05
Best for game day
Papa Joe's Pizza
Grove City • Lively Neighborhood Pizza Joint • Great For Groups
Hearty pies and a broad menu make this Grove City staple a smart choice for bigger gatherings.
A short drive south from Lake Darby, Papa Joe’s is popular with Grove City locals for its substantial pizzas and easygoing atmosphere. The crust runs in the middle of the road—neither ultra‑thin nor deep‑dish—but it holds plenty of cheese and toppings, which suits game‑day orders and parties. With wings, pasta, and subs rounding out the menu, it’s an especially good option when you’re feeding a hungry crowd.
