Best overall pick
3 Joe's Pizzeria & Trattoria
Downtown Piqua • Cozy Sit-Down Italian Pizzeria • Best All-Around Choice
A long-running downtown spot with hand-tossed pies, pastas, and a relaxed, old-school dining room.
For many Lockington-area residents, 3 Joe's is where you go when you want pizza to feel like a night out instead of just takeout. The crust is nicely chewy, the toppings are generous, and the sauce leans classic Italian rather than overly sweet. It is an easy choice when you have a mix of pizza lovers and pasta fans at the same table.

Best for families
East of Chicago Pizza
South Piqua Near The Retail Strip • Family-Friendly Pan-Pizza Buffet • Best For Hungry Families
Casual, kid-friendly pizzas with thick crusts and plenty of toppings, ideal when everyone wants to eat a lot for a fair price.
If you are coming in from ball games or a day on the river, East of Chicago is the easy, no-fuss answer for feeding a crowd. Their pan pizzas are thick, bready, and loaded, with lots of straightforward topping combos that appeal to kids and picky eaters. It is the kind of place where you do not have to overthink the order and everyone leaves full.

Best delivery standby
Domino's Pizza
East Piqua By The Highway • Fast-Delivery National Chain Shop • Go-To For Late-Night Delivery
Reliable, quick delivery pizza with plenty of build-your-own options for nights when you just want something hot to show up at the door.
From Lockington, the Piqua Domino's is close enough that delivery usually stays quick and the pies arrive piping hot. The menu is predictable in a good way, with customizable crusts, sauces, and toppings plus wings and sandwiches to round out an order. It is the kind of place locals keep on speed dial for game nights, busy weekdays, and unexpected guests.
04
Worth the drive north
Cassano's Pizza King
Central Sidney Just Off The Square • Classic Dayton-Style Thin-Crust Joint • Top Pick For Thin-Crust Traditionalists
A regional favorite known for its ultra-thin, crispy crust and edge-to-edge toppings that feel different from the usual chain pizza.
Cassano's is a bit of a regional institution, and the Sidney shop puts you within an easy drive of Lockington. The crust is cracker-thin, the toppings go almost to the edge, and the pieces are cut into small squares, making it perfect for sharing with a group. It is a great choice when you want something that feels distinctly local rather than another generic chain pie.
05
Classic small-town slice
Amelio's Pizzeria
West Sidney Residential Side Streets • Old-School Neighborhood Carryout • Laid-Back Stop For Locals
A low-key carryout shop turning out hearty, no-nonsense pizzas that taste like they have been made the same way for years.
Amelio's has the feel of a place that has quietly kept locals fed for decades, with straightforward pies that hit the spot after a long day. Expect a solid, slightly thicker crust, plenty of cheese, and classic topping combos rather than trendy specials. It is an easy swing-by on your way back toward Lockington when you want something comforting without the crowds.
