Best for creative pies
Dewey’s Pizza – Kenwood
Kenwood / East Side Retail Corridor • Craft Pizza And Beer Restaurant • Worth-The-Drive Destination
Dewey’s is where New Baltimore pizza fans head when they want something more inventive than the standard pepperoni.
About a half-hour drive but well worth it, Dewey’s is known for chewy, flavorful crust and topping combinations you won’t find at the chains. Think pies loaded with figs and prosciutto, buffalo chicken, or roasted garlic and veggies, backed up by a tight craft beer list. Go for a late lunch or early dinner, as this location fills up fast on weekends, especially when shoppers spill over from the nearby mall.
