01
Best overall pick
Burrata Woodfired Pizza
North Sandusky Street • Modern Wood‑Fired Pizzeria • Best Overall Pick
A lively spot turning out blistered wood‑fired pies with creative toppings and a neighborhood feel.
Burrata Woodfired brought a more modern, Neapolitan‑leaning style of pizza to Mount Vernon, with a chewy crust and just the right char from the oven. The menu leans on simple, high‑quality toppings—think fresh mozzarella, shaved prosciutto, and seasonal vegetables—rather than heavy piles of cheese. It’s the place locals suggest when you want something a notch above standard delivery pizza but still relaxed and family‑friendly.
02
Classic downtown slice
Ron's Pizza
Downtown Main Street • Old‑School Small‑Town Pizzeria • Best For Casual Groups
A Mount Vernon standby known for classic pies, generous portions, and a no‑frills, hometown vibe.
Ron's Pizza feels like the kind of place that has seen generations of local teams and families crowd around the tables after a game. The crust is straightforward and sturdy, the toppings are familiar, and the focus is on hearty, crowd‑pleasing combinations rather than trend‑chasing specials. It’s the go‑to choice when you want everyone at the table to be happy, from picky kids to grandparents.
03
Reliable takeout favorite
Dirko's Pizza
West High Street • Takeout And Delivery Pizza Shop • Best For Quick Takeout
A low‑key shop turning out consistently solid pizzas and subs that locals grab on busy weeknights.
Dirko's is the kind of neighborhood place people have on speed dial for an easy dinner or a last‑minute get‑together. The pizzas lean classic—ample cheese, a slightly thicker crust, and plenty of topping options—alongside a lineup of subs that travel well. It’s not fussy, but it is dependable, which is exactly why it makes so many regular rotation lists around town.
04
Crispy thin‑crust go‑to
Donatos Pizza
Coshocton Avenue Corridor • National Chain Thin‑Crust Shop • Best For Game Nights
A familiar name known for thin, edge‑to‑edge toppings that works perfectly for feeding a hungry crowd.
Mount Vernon’s Donatos location delivers the brand’s signature thin crust with toppings spread all the way to the edge, which makes it easy to share with a group. The menu is broad—classic pepperoni, lighter veggie pies, wings, and salads—so you can cover a lot of preferences with one order. It’s especially handy for parties or game nights when you care more about volume and consistency than lingering over a sit‑down meal.
05
Italian institution with pizza
Mazza's Italian Restaurant
South Of Downtown • Sit‑Down Italian Restaurant With Pizza • Best For Lingering Dinners
A longtime Italian favorite where pizzas share the spotlight with pasta, house sauces, and a full dining‑room experience.
Mazza's is where you go when you want pizza but also want to make a night of it, with appetizers, wine, and maybe a plate of pasta to share. The pizzas reflect the restaurant’s Italian‑American roots—solid crusts, balanced sauce, and toppings that pair well with the rest of the menu. It suits everything from date nights to family celebrations, especially if not everyone at the table is set on pizza alone.
