01
Best overall pick
Jan & Tony's Pizza
Village Shopping Strip Off Us-42 • Classic Small-Town Pizzeria • Go-To Plain City Staple
A longtime Plain City favorite turning out reliably good, square-cut pies and hearty comfort-food sides.
If you ask locals where they actually order their Friday-night pizza, Jan & Tony’s comes up fast. The crust is sturdy but not heavy, toppings are generous, and the sauce leans classic and crowd-pleasing. It’s the kind of place that’s as dependable for a family dinner as it is for feeding a whole team after a game.
02
Best for classic carryout
Pioneer Pizza
Plain City Neighborhood Spot Off The Main Drag • Family-Run Hand-Tossed Shop • Top Pick For Takeout Night
A local, family-owned shop focused on well-made, customizable pizzas that travel well for takeout.
Pioneer Pizza leans into the basics and does them right: balanced cheese-to-sauce ratio, crust with a little chew, and toppings that don’t feel skimpy. The menu has enough specialty combinations to keep regulars from getting bored without overwhelming first-timers. It’s a strong choice when you want an easy pickup order on the way home through town.
03
Best for groups and leagues
Plain City Lanes Pizza
Bowling Alley On West Main Street • Bowling-Alley Pizzeria • Fun Choice For Casual Nights Out
Classic, shareable pizzas served alongside the lanes, ideal for league nights, kids’ parties, and low-key meetups.
At Plain City Lanes, the pizza is part of the experience: hot pies, big platters, and plenty of space to spread out between frames. The crust and toppings are built for sharing, with straightforward flavors that appeal to a mixed group. It’s less about gourmet touches and more about feeding a crowd while everyone is having fun.
04
Best chain standby
Domino's Pizza
West Main Street Corridor • National Delivery Chain • Most Convenient Late-Evening Option
A familiar Domino’s outpost that covers the basics with quick delivery and a wide range of crusts and toppings.
When you need something predictable, fast, and open later than many small-town spots, this Domino’s fills the gap. The online ordering and tracking make it easy for larger households or watch parties to time their food. It’s not trying to be a destination, but it’s a dependable backup when the craving hits after a long day.
05
Best for pizza with a full meal
Beer Barrel Pizza & Grill
Short Drive Toward The Dublin/Hilliard Side • Lively Sports-Bar Grill • Best For Big Menus And Game-Day Vibes
A regional pizza-and-grill spot with big-screen TVs, a long list of specialty pies, and plenty of non-pizza options.
Beer Barrel is the move when not everyone in the group wants just pizza—there are burgers, wings, and salads to keep everyone happy. The pizza side of the menu leans indulgent, with thicker crusts, loaded toppings, and shareable specialty combinations. It makes sense for meeting friends halfway between Plain City and the outer Columbus suburbs, especially on game days.
