Iconic Youngstown-style

Known across the Valley, Wedgewood’s Boardman shop turns out sheet pizzas with a crisp yet airy crust and toppings that run right to the edge.

Classic tavern pie
The Elmton
Struthers • Neighborhood Tavern With Pizza • Retro Dine-In Pick
The Elmton is a Struthers institution where old-school tavern charm meets distinctive, craveable pizza.
Known for both its chicken and its pizza, The Elmton serves a style that is uniquely its own: a thinner crust with a slightly smoky bake and plenty of flavor packed into each square-cut piece. The dim, wood-paneled dining room feels frozen in time in the best way, making it a fun change of pace from standard takeout. It is the kind of place where a relaxed sit-down meal turns into a tradition, even if it means a bit of a drive from New Middletown.
