Lordstown might be better known for assembly lines than slice shops, but you don’t have to go far to find memorable pizza. In every direction, nearby towns like Warren, Austintown, Niles, and Newton Falls serve up everything from Old World tavern pies to loaded Youngstown-style squares. These five spots are the places locals actually recommend when someone asks where to grab a great pie after work or before a game.
A Warren institution turning out Old World pies in a cozy, wood-paneled dining room.
Sunrise Inn is where a lot of Trumbull County locals learned to love pizza, with sturdy crusts, generous cheese, and a long list of toppings. The Old World and specialty pies pair well with their wings and full bar, making it an easy choice when you want dinner to feel like an outing, not just takeout.
Beloved for hefty, edge-to-edge cheese and a chewy crust that defines Youngstown-style pizza.
If you ask around Lordstown where to try true Youngstown-style pizza, Wedgewood in Austintown comes up fast. Expect a slightly thicker crust, a tangy sauce, and toppings all the way to the edge, best ordered in sheet form for a crowd. It is a carryout-first spot, so plan to grab your box and head home or back to the hotel.
Reliable, saucy pies and wings a short hop from Lordstown and the Eastwood Mall traffic.
Cocca's in Niles is a handy stop when you are already running errands or catching a movie near the mall. The crust runs on the softer side, with plenty of sauce and cheese, and they do well with crowd-pleasers like pepperoni, hot peppers, and loaded meat combinations. Add an order of wings or JoJo-style potatoes and you are set for watching the game at home.
A long-running local chain known for customizable pizzas, subs, and reliable delivery hours.
Ianazone's in Austintown is a solid option when you need pizza to come to you rather than the other way around. The crust is straightforward and sturdy enough to hold extra toppings, and the menu branches out into subs, salads, and fried appetizers. It is the kind of place locals keep on speed dial for Friday nights and last-minute gatherings.
Crisp-edged pies and famous fried chicken make this an easy compromise for families.
The Newton Falls branch of Gionino's is close enough to Lordstown to make a quick weeknight run, especially if not everyone in the group wants just pizza. Their pizzas lean toward a classic Ohio style with a slightly crispy crust and balanced sauce, and the JoJo potatoes and chicken are local favorites. It is a straightforward, friendly spot that works as well for takeout as it does for a casual dine-in meal.
