Best overall pick
East of Chicago Pizza – Carrollton
Canton Road Strip In Carrollton • Casual Buffet-Style Pizza Shop • Best For Variety And Value
A reliable spot for thick, cheesy pizza, wings, and a solid salad bar that keeps both families and big appetites happy.
If Leesville folks say they’re “running to town for pizza,” they often mean East of Chicago in Carrollton. The crust leans thick and pillowy, with generous cheese and toppings that feel more hearty than fancy. Go for a build-your-own pan pizza or one of the loaded specialty pies, and make time to linger over the buffet when you’re feeding a crowd.
02
Coziest small-town slice
Fox's Pizza Den – Carrollton
Just Off The Main Drag In Carrollton • Family-Friendly Pizzeria • Local Favorite For Dine-In
A small, welcoming spot that turns out classic, slightly crispy pies and hefty wedges in a very small-town-Ohio setting.
Fox’s Pizza Den feels like the neighborhood pizzeria every rural town hopes for: friendly staff, consistent pies, and plenty of seating for teams or family get-togethers. The crust is on the thinner side for the area, with a good crisp under generous cheese. The signature ‘Wedgies’—stuffed, baked sandwiches—are a smart move when not everyone at the table wants pizza.
03
Most familiar option
Pizza Hut – Carrollton
Carrollton Shopping Corridor • Classic National-Chain Pizzeria • Best For Predictable Comfort
A go-to for Leesville families who want the familiar pan pizza, breadsticks, and wing lineup they already know.
When you need something easy and predictable after a long day on the road or at Atwood Lake, the Carrollton Pizza Hut does its job well. The pan pizzas come out with that unmistakable buttery crust, and the menu covers all the chain staples—from stuffed crust to wings and pasta bakes. It’s also one of the more reliable options for larger carryout orders on busy game nights.
04
Classic Tuscarawas County favorite
Penso's Pizza – Dennison
Downtown Dennison • Old-School Takeout Pizzeria • Worth-The-Drive Carryout
A long-running local name known for sturdy, square-cut pies and nostalgic, no-frills charm.
Penso’s in Dennison is a bit of a drive from Leesville, but plenty of folks make the trip when they’re craving that classic Tuscarawas County-style pizza. Expect a slightly thicker crust, a tangy red sauce, and toppings spread right to the edge before it’s cut into party squares. Call ahead on weekends—regulars know to get their orders in early before the rush really hits.
05
Best road-trip pie
Pangrazio's Pizza – Cadiz
Central Cadiz • Sit-Down Italian Pizza And Pasta Spot • Great For Lingering Meals
A hometown Italian-style restaurant where the pizza shares top billing with pasta, subs, and big, shareable portions.
Pangrazio’s in Cadiz has the easygoing feel of a small-town Italian restaurant that’s been around long enough to see multiple generations of the same families. The pizzas come with a slightly chewy, flavorful crust and a generous blanket of cheese, and the pasta dishes make it easy to turn a quick slice run into a proper dinner. It’s a relaxed place to sit down, catch up with friends, and split a couple of large pies before heading back toward Leesville.
