01
Best overall pick
Adornetto's Pizza & Subs
Downtown Zanesville • Classic Italian-American Pizzeria • Local Favorite
A Zanesville institution known for saucy, cheesy pies and a lively, family-friendly dining room.
If you ask around Philo or Zanesville for a go-to pizza night spot, Adornetto’s is the name you’ll hear more than anything else. The crust walks that line between sturdy and soft, with a generous layer of melty cheese and a slightly sweet red sauce that feels very “Ohio pizza.” It’s the place you head when you want a sit-down meal, a pitcher of soda, and a classic, no-rush evening out.
02
Best for quick pickup
Maxwell's Pizza
Maysville Pike Corridor • Drive-Thru Pizzeria • Grab-And-Go Specialist
Drive-thru pizza that lets Philo folks snag hot, made-to-order pies without ever leaving the car.
Maxwell’s leans hard into convenience without cutting corners on flavor, which makes it a natural fit for families commuting between Philo and Zanesville. The menu runs from classic pepperoni to loaded specialty pies, plus subs and wings for mixed cravings. It’s especially handy on weeknights when you want something better than fast food but don’t have time to park and linger.
03
Best for families
Pizza Cottage
North Zanesville / Maple Avenue • Family-Friendly Regional Chain • Group-Friendly Choice
A roomy, casual spot with crowd-pleasing pies and plenty of space for teams, birthday groups, and big families.
Pizza Cottage feels built for gatherings, with big tables, shareable appetizers, and a menu that covers everything from build-your-own pizzas to loaded specialty combinations. The crust is on the thicker, heartier side, which holds up well under generous toppings and extra cheese. It’s an easy pick when you’re coming into town with a car full of kids or meeting relatives halfway between Philo and points beyond.
04
Best for late-night delivery
Domino's Pizza
Zanesville Delivery Corridor • Fast-Delivery Chain Shop • Late-Night Pick
A delivery workhorse that keeps hot pizzas, wings, and cheesy breads flowing when other kitchens have gone dark.
For Philo residents who don’t feel like driving into town, Domino’s is often the most reliable way to get pizza to the doorstep. The menu is familiar and highly customizable, from thin-crust pepperoni to stuffed cheesy breads and specialty pies. It shines when you care more about speed, tracking your order on the app, and feeding a hungry crowd than about lingering over a sit-down experience.
05
Best for classic pan pizza
Pizza Hut
South Zanesville • Casual Dine-In And Carryout Chain • Nostalgic Favorite
A familiar name turning out thick, buttery pan pizzas and stuffed crust pies that hit the comfort-food spot.
Pizza Hut’s Zanesville location tends to appeal to diners who grew up on those signature pan pizzas and still crave that crisp, almost fried edge. It’s a straightforward choice for carryout on the way back to Philo or a low-key dine-in meal with pitchers of soda and a couple of big, shareable pies. When you want something predictable, filling, and nostalgic, this is the stop that fits the bill.
