01
Best overall pick
Gionino's Pizzeria
Alliance East Side • Neighborhood Delivery And Carryout Shop • Local Favorite
A go-to Alliance spot for hefty, cheesy pies with crunchy edges and crowd-pleasing toppings.
For many Limaville residents, Gionino's is the weeknight default when nobody wants to cook. The crust is sturdy enough to hold serious toppings, the cheese bakes up bubbly and browned, and the garlic-heavy JoJo potatoes turn any pizza order into a full meal. It is reliable, fast, and consistent, which makes it an easy pick when you are feeding a mixed crowd.
02
Best old-school experience
Polinori's Palm Garden
Downtown Alliance • Old-School Italian Tavern-Style Spot • Best For Classic Pies
A vintage Alliance institution where the pizza tastes like it has not changed in decades, in the best way.
Polinori's is the kind of dark-wood, neon-beer-sign bar-restaurant where generations have gathered over thin, crispy pizzas and pitchers. The pies lean classic—think pepperoni, sausage, and peppers—with a sauce that is just sweet enough and a generous layer of cheese. It is a great choice when you want pizza plus that lived-in, hometown atmosphere you only get from a place that has been around forever.
03
Best family night out
J & G Pizza Palace
Historic Downtown Louisville • Retro Family Pizza Palace • Best For Families
A lively Louisville mainstay with big booths, big pies, and a small-town Main Street feel.
J & G feels like the classic small-town pizza parlor: roomy booths, noisy dining room, and kids wandering around with crust in hand. The menu runs from thick, cheesy pizzas to pasta and sandwiches, so even non-pizza people are covered. It is worth the short drive from Limaville when you want a sit-down pizza night that still feels casual and welcoming.
04
Best for big groups
Kraus' Pizza
Louisville Outskirts • Takeout-Focused Stark County Pizzeria • Game-Day Crowd Pick
Beloved in Stark County for its saucy, cheesy sheet pizzas that can feed a whole crew.
Kraus' is built for carryout, and its square-cut sheet pizzas are exactly what you want for parties, game days, or feeding a hungry work crew. The sauce has a noticeable zip, the toppings are spread edge-to-edge, and the crust stays just crisp enough under all that cheese. Order ahead on busy nights; locals know to call early before the rush hits.
05
Best classic Stark County slice
Pizza Oven
Alliance North Side • Classic Regional Pizza Chain Outpost • Late-Night Slice Stop
A Canton-area favorite with an Alliance location, known for its well-done cheese and generous toppings.
Pizza Oven brings its well-loved Stark County style to an Alliance shop that many Limaville folks treat as their default Friday-night order. The pies come out with that signature well-baked cheese and a sturdy, chewy crust that holds up on the drive home. It is especially handy when you want something familiar and satisfying after a long day, without heading all the way into Canton.
