Best overall pick
Pizza Crossing
Tiki Lane Corridor • Lively Family Pizzeria • Best Overall Pick
Big, cheesy pies, friendly service, and plenty of toppings make Pizza Crossing the first name locals throw out when someone asks where to get pizza in Lancaster.
This is the place you call when you want classic, crowd-pleasing pizza that feels a little like an event. The crust is hearty without being heavy, the cheese pull is serious, and the specialty pies—loaded with toppings—travel well for takeout. It’s equally handy for a casual dine-in night or a stack of boxes for game day.

Classic local standby
Tiberio’s
North Columbus Street • Cozy Dine-In Pizza Tavern • Top Spot For Big Groups
Tiberio’s feels like the kind of neighborhood pizza joint that’s been in your back pocket for years, with generous pies and a low-key dining room.
Known for its rich sauce and cheese-heavy pies, Tiberio’s is ideal when you want a relaxed sit-down meal with plenty of leftovers. The menu covers the classics—pepperoni, sausage, and works-style combos—along with subs and sides that round out a family order. It’s an easy pick for birthday gatherings, team dinners, or any night you want to linger over another slice.

Weeknight lifesaver
Cristy’s Pizza
Pierce Avenue Neighborhood • Fast-Casual Carryout Spot • Best Value Slices
Cristy’s focuses on quick, made-to-order pies with plenty of topping combos, ideal for those nights you need dinner handled in one phone call.
Square-cut party pizzas, reliable delivery, and frequent specials make Cristy’s a go-to for feeding a crowd on a budget. The crust leans classic Ohio-style—sturdy enough for lots of toppings but still easy to grab-and-go. It’s especially useful for busy school nights, last-minute gatherings, or packing the cooler before a day at the park.

Here, pizza shares the stage with burgers, baskets, and other diner-style staples, so it works well for mixed cravings. The pies are solidly built, with plenty of cheese and toppings that feel right at home alongside a cold drink and a ballgame on TV. It’s a natural hangout for watching sports, catching up with friends, or easing into the weekend.
