01
Lakewood standby
Angelo's Pizza
Madison Avenue Corridor • Classic Neighborhood Pizzeria • Local Favorite
A Lakewood institution known for hefty, cheese-forward pies and reliably packed dining rooms.
If you ask Lakewood locals where to start with pizza, Angelo’s is the name you’ll hear most. Expect generous toppings, a sturdy crust that can handle them, and portions big enough for plenty of leftovers. Go early or be ready for a wait, especially on weekends, and consider splitting a specialty pie so you can sample more than just pepperoni.
02
Crowd-pleaser
Dewey's Pizza
Detroit Avenue Entertainment Strip • Bustling Sit-Down Pizza Chain • Best For Big Groups
Lively and kid-friendly, Dewey’s turns out consistently good specialty pies and big salads that are easy to share.
Dewey’s is ideal when you need a spot that can handle a crew without sacrificing quality. The menu leans into creative combinations, and the half-and-half option lets picky eaters and adventurous types share the same pie. Pair a pizza with one of their substantial salads and you’ve got a low-stress, everyone’s-happy dinner plan.
03
Slice-obsessed newcomer
Boom's Pizza
East Lakewood Side Streets • Trendy New York-Style Slice Shop • Quick Casual Pick
Modern, crisp-edged slices with serious attention to dough and toppings make Boom’s a go-to for an easy, high-quality bite.
Boom’s feels like a love letter to classic slice shops, with a chewier crust and balanced toppings that show real craft. It’s the kind of place where grabbing a couple of slices and a drink is as natural as sitting down for a full pie. Keep an eye on rotating specials if you like trying riffs beyond the usual cheese and pepperoni.
04
Cozy date-night pick
Harlow's
Downtown Lakewood Core • Intimate Wood-Fired Pizza Bar • Best For Date Night
Softly lit and compact, Harlow’s focuses on wood-fired pies with charred edges and thoughtful toppings.
With its small room and open view of the oven, Harlow’s feels more like a tucked-away bar than a typical pizzeria. The menu keeps things tight, which lets the kitchen focus on well-fermented dough and seasonal ingredients. It’s a strong choice when you want pizza that eats more like a chef-y small-plates experience than a casual slice run.
05
Pizza-and-wine spot
Humble Wine Bar
West End Lakewood Near The River • Wine Bar With Neapolitan-Style Pies • Best For Lingering Over Drinks
A relaxed wine bar where char-kissed, personal-sized pizzas share top billing with the by-the-glass list.
Humble is where you go when you want your pizza night to feel a little more grown-up but still easygoing. The pies lean Neapolitan, with a soft, airy crust and simple toppings that pair well with a glass of red or something sparkling. Grab a couple of pizzas, a small plate or two, and settle in for a slower-paced evening.
