Best overall pick
LaRosa's Pizzeria – Springdale
Springdale / Tri-County • Classic Cincinnati Family Pizzeria • Best For Game-Night Carryout
The Springdale LaRosa’s is the go-to for big, crowd-pleasing pizzas just a few minutes south of Pleasant Run Farm.
Set near the Tri-County retail corridor, this LaRosa’s turns out the brand’s trademark sauce-heavy pies, big salads, and hoagies with plenty of parking and quick service. It’s an easy choice when you’re feeding a mixed group and want something everyone recognizes. Order ahead for Friday and Saturday evenings, when carryout and delivery can get especially busy.

Neighborhood standby
LaRosa's Pizzeria – Forest Park
Forest Park Shopping Strip • Laid-Back Dine-In And Delivery Spot • Best For Family Dinners Close To Home
Just west of Pleasant Run Farm, the Forest Park LaRosa’s keeps things easy with friendly dine-in service and reliable delivery.
This location draws a steady mix of families and teams after games, thanks to roomy booths, kids’ options, and the familiar LaRosa’s menu. Thin-crust pies with edge-to-edge toppings are the move if you like a crisp bite and plenty of cheese. It’s close enough for a quick weeknight dinner without turning it into a full night out.

Creative pie destination
Dewey's Pizza – West Chester
West Chester Near Union Centre • Creative Gourmet Pizza Restaurant • Best For Craft Toppings And Beer
Dewey’s in West Chester is worth the short drive for inventive pizzas, an open kitchen, and a solid craft beer list.
Expect hand-tossed crusts, seasonal specials, and topping combinations that go well beyond standard pepperoni. The dining room feels lively but not hectic, making it a good option for a casual date night or dinner with older kids. Split a classic like the Peppercorn Ranch with a specialty pie and you’ll see why many locals rank Dewey’s above the big chains.

Slice-shop favorite
Fratelli's Pizzeria
West Chester Tylersville Road Corridor • New York–Style Slice Shop • Best For Quick Slices And Takeout
Fratelli’s serves up large, foldable New York–style slices and whole pies just north of Pleasant Run Farm.
Tucked along Tylersville Road, this spot has a low-key counter-service feel and focuses on generous portions and straightforward, well-executed pies. The crust is thin but sturdy enough to fold, with a light char that keeps regulars coming back. It’s an ideal stop when you want something a little more old-school than a chain, especially at lunch or on your way home from errands.

Worth-the-drive pick
Two Cities Pizza Co.
Historic Downtown Mason • Chicago-And–New York–Style Specialty Pizzeria • Best For A Fun Night Out
Two Cities in Mason is a destination for deep-dish Chicago pies and crisp New York slices served under a playful city-theme backdrop.
Housed in a converted city-hall building, this restaurant leans into its concept with subway-tile walls and a menu split between Chicago and New York styles. The Chicago deep dish is rich and indulgent, while the New York pies give you a lighter, thinner option with plenty of flavor. It’s a bit of a drive from Pleasant Run Farm, but the atmosphere and shareable pizzas make it a great choice for meeting friends or celebrating a birthday.
