Best overall pick
Flyers Pizza & Subs (Grove City)
Stringtown Road, Grove City • Family‑Friendly Columbus‑Style Pizzeria • Go‑To Choice For Orient Locals
Dependably crispy thin‑crust pies, friendly staff, and quick carryout make Flyers an easy first choice when you're heading up from Orient.
This Grove City location is the closest Flyers for Orient residents and sits just off I‑71, so it’s an easy detour on the way home. The menu leans into classic Columbus‑style thin crust with edge‑to‑edge toppings, plus sturdy subs and wings for a full game‑night spread. It’s a solid all‑rounder: big enough to handle team orders, but still relaxed and personal enough to feel like a neighborhood spot.

Classic Grove City institution
Zamarelli's Pizza Palace
Grove City Town Center • Old‑School Pizza Parlor • Best For A Nostalgic Pie
Zamarelli's serves up the kind of square‑cut, thin‑crust pizza that locals grew up on, just a short drive from Orient.
Tucked into Grove City’s historic core, Zamarelli's feels like stepping into the kind of pizza place every town wishes it still had. The crust is crisp, the toppings are generous without being fussy, and the sauce leans toward that comforting, slightly sweet Columbus profile. It’s an especially good pick when you want a low‑key, family‑run shop rather than a polished chain experience.

Coziest dine‑in experience
Plank's On Broadway
Historic Broadway, Grove City • Tavern‑Style Pizzeria And Bar • Best For Lingering Over A Pie
Plank's pairs hearty, edge‑to‑edge tavern pizzas with a comfortable old‑brick dining room right in downtown Grove City.
If you’re coming from Orient and want to sit down for a proper night out, Plank’s is the move. The pizzas come on a sturdier crust than typical Columbus style, with plenty of cheese and toppings that hold up well to a long conversation and a cold drink. The cozy, wood‑and‑brick interior and mix of locals at the bar make it feel like a true town gathering spot rather than a quick in‑and‑out slice joint.

Top pick for game nights
Donatos Pizza (Grove City)
Southwest Grove City Near I‑71 • Regional Thin‑Crust Chain • Most Reliable For Big Group Orders
This Donatos makes it easy to feed a crowd from Orient with consistent thin‑crust pizzas, big salads, and predictable timing.
The Grove City Donatos is a practical choice when you need a lot of food fast and you want it to be exactly what you expect. Their trademark thin, crispy crust and edge‑to‑edge toppings translate well to delivery back to Orient, and the menu covers everything from pepperoni classics to veggie‑packed specialty pies. Add on a few shareable sides and you’ve got a no‑stress spread for movie night or an impromptu gathering.

Worth the extra drive
Joseppi's Pizza (Galloway)
West Side Columbus, Galloway • Neighborhood Carryout Pizza Shop • Great Value For Hearty Pies
Joseppi's is a west‑side standby known for generous toppings and hearty pies that still travel well back toward Orient.
A few minutes farther than Grove City but still an easy run from Orient, Joseppi’s rewards the drive with hefty, flavor‑packed pizzas. The crust is a touch thicker than classic Columbus style, with a satisfying chew and enough structure to support loaded toppings. It’s a smart option when you want something a little different from the standard chains and don’t mind a quick west‑side detour.
