01
Best overall pick
Avalanche Pizza
Uptown Athens • Creative Slice House And Bakery • Destination For Food Lovers
Inventive toppings, chewy crust, and a funky Athens vibe make Avalanche the go-to splurge pie near Millfield.
Avalanche leans into bold flavors, with specialty pies piled high with fresh veggies, house-made meats, and playful combinations you won’t see at the chains. The crust has a good chew and char, and the slices reheat well if you’re taking them back to Millfield. It’s a great choice when you want a pizza night that feels like a night out, even if you’re just grabbing takeout.
02
Best for families
Pizza Cottage
East State Street, Athens • Casual Family Pizzeria • Family Dinner Favorite
Big salads, sturdy crusts, and roomy booths make Pizza Cottage an easy crowd-pleaser for groups coming in from Millfield.
Pizza Cottage serves the kind of classic Ohio pizza that balances a slightly thick crust with plenty of cheese and toppings. The menu is broad—pasta, subs, and shareable appetizers—so it works well when not everyone in the group wants the same thing. It’s an easy stop along the East State Street strip before or after errands in Athens.
03
Best small-town classic
Pizza Crossing
Nelsonville Public Square • Small-Town Pizza Parlor • Worth The Short Drive From Millfield
Thick, cheesy pies and a nostalgic dining room give Pizza Crossing strong small-town comfort food appeal.
Pizza Crossing is the kind of place people grow up on and keep coming back to, with generously topped pizzas and a slightly thicker crust that holds up under extra cheese. The Nelsonville location is a straight shot up the road from Millfield, making it an easy weekend outing. It’s a solid pick for carryout before a game or a relaxed sit-down meal on the square.
04
Best value for big orders
Plus 1 Pizza
The Plains Main Strip • Neighborhood Carryout Shop • Great For Big Group Orders
Plus 1 Pizza is a reliable choice when you need plenty of hot, hearty pizza without spending a fortune.
Known around southeast Ohio, Plus 1 does hefty, topping-heavy pies that feel built for sharing. The Plains location is convenient for Millfield residents who want something close by without heading all the way into Athens. It’s especially handy for feeding a crowd after practice, a workday, or a spur-of-the-moment get-together.
05
Fastest grab-and-go
Little Caesars Pizza
East State Shopping Corridor • Budget-Friendly Chain Spot • Reliable Last-Minute Option
When time matters more than variety, Little Caesars’ hot-and-ready model is hard to beat for a quick Millfield pickup run.
This Athens outpost of Little Caesars is all about speed and affordability, with ready-to-go cheese and pepperoni pies plus basic sides. It’s not a destination in the way some of the local shops are, but it shines when you need something hot in the car within minutes. For busy weeknights or kids’ sleepovers in Millfield, it’s a practical backup plan to know about.
