Best overall pick
WB Pizza Company
Lakeside Town Center • Small-Batch Artisan Pizzeria • Local Favorite For Dine-In Or Takeout
Creative, well-executed pies in a cozy space just a short walk from Lakeside’s main streets.
WB Pizza Company leans into quality ingredients and thoughtful combinations, from classic pepperoni to white pies with roasted veggies and herbs. The crust has that ideal balance of chew and crisp, sturdy enough to handle generous toppings without getting soggy.

On-the-grounds favorite
Lakeside Pizzeria
Inside The Lakeside Gates • Casual Sports-Style Pizzeria • Best For Families And Groups
Easygoing, family-friendly pizzas and subs right in the heart of the Lakeside action.
Situated within the Lakeside community, Lakeside Pizzeria is a go-to when you want something filling without getting in the car. The menu sticks to crowd-pleasers—think classic cheese, pepperoni, and meat-lovers, plus wings and a few sandwiches. It is the sort of place where kids can split a pie after swimming while adults linger over another slice and a ballgame on TV.

Best grab-and-go stop
Dave's Drive Thru
East Harbor Road Corridor • Drive-Thru Carryout With Pizza • Quick Takeout Pick
Surprisingly solid, hearty pizzas from a convenient drive-thru just outside Lakeside.
Dave's Drive Thru looks like a typical roadside stop, but locals know the kitchen turns out generously topped pizzas that travel well. It is a smart move when you want to grab a couple of large pies on the way back from the beach or the boat ramp. Call ahead on busy summer evenings, then swing through, load up the trunk, and you are set for a low-effort cottage dinner.

Worth-the-drive choice
Bruno's Pizzeria
Marblehead Peninsula • Classic Italian-American Pizza Joint • Best For Hearty, Shareable Pies
Old-school, amply topped pizzas that make a satisfying stop on a Marblehead lighthouse day trip.
Bruno's Pizzeria serves the kind of classic pies that feel just right after a day exploring the Marblehead peninsula. Expect plenty of cheese, a slightly thicker crust, and generous portions that easily feed a group. Pair a couple of specialty pies with salads and breadsticks and you have a full, no-fuss meal before heading back toward Lakeside.

Classic bar-pizza vibe
Bell Mell Pizza
Downtown Port Clinton • Old-School Tavern-Style Pizzeria • Best For A Casual Night Out
Crispy-edged, tavern-style pies in a laid-back Port Clinton hangout a short drive from Lakeside.
Bell Mell Pizza is a Port Clinton staple, known for its thin, crisp crust and edge-to-edge toppings. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious, making it a good call if you want to combine pizza with a drink and a game on TV. It is a nice change of scene when you are ready to venture off the peninsula for an easygoing evening.
