01
Best overall pick
Frosty Bar
Downtown Put-In-Bay • Lively Tavern With Classic Pizza • All-Day Crowd-Pleaser
A longtime island standby turning out hot, cheesy pies alongside frosty beers in the heart of downtown.
Frosty Bar has been feeding Put-in-Bay crowds for generations, and its pizza is the kind you crave after a day on the water. The menu sticks to familiar toppings, but the crust is reliably crisp and the cheese pull is real. Go early for a laid-back family vibe, or later if you want your pizza with a side of lively bar energy.
02
Late-night slice stop
Put-in-Bay Cameo Pizza
Downtown Put-In-Bay • Counter-Service Pizzeria Inside A Bar • Best For After-Hours Slices
This island offshoot of an Ohio classic is the go-to window for quick slices, delivery, and late-night pie runs.
Tucked inside Mr. Ed’s Bar on Delaware Avenue, Cameo Pizza is a lifesaver when the craving hits after hours. You can grab a slice at the window, order a whole pie to take back to your rental, or linger over a box with a drink from the bar. It’s casual, quick, and reliably open late during peak season, which makes it a staple of many Put-in-Bay weekends.
03
New-school favorite
Fire Engine Pizza Co.
Near The Main Strip • Casual Pizzeria With Creative Pies • Best For Specialty Toppings
A newer arrival serving up playful, well-built pizzas that go beyond the usual pepperoni-and-cheese routine.
Fire Engine Pizza Co. leans into fresh ingredients and fun topping combos, making it a nice change of pace from standard bar pizza. Expect thoughtfully balanced specialty pies, from meat-heavy crowd-pleasers to veggie-forward options. It’s a strong pick when you want to sit down with a proper pizza dinner rather than just grab a quick slice on the run.
04
Best pizza-and-beer combo
Put-in-Bay Brewery & Distillery
Downtown Put-In-Bay • Brewpub With Hand-Tossed Pizzas • Best For Craft Beer Fans
House-brewed beers and solid, shareable pizzas make this a natural gathering spot just off the main drag.
While the brewery is known for its beers and spirits, the pizza quietly holds its own. The crust has enough structure to stand up to generous toppings, making it ideal for sharing around the table with a flight of house-made brews. It’s an easy choice when your group wants both good pizza and a proper sit-down place to linger.
05
Mainland must-stop
Sloopy's Sports Cafe
Port Clinton, Mainland • Sports Bar With Award-Winning Pizza • Best Pre- Or Post-Ferry Stop
A local sports bar legend on the mainland that backs up its wall of TVs with some of the region’s most talked-about pies.
If you’re driving to or from the ferry, Sloopy’s is a smart detour for a seriously good pizza before you hit the lake or the highway. The menu runs from classic cheese and pepperoni to elaborate specialty combinations, all on a crust that has earned plenty of regional praise. It’s casual, friendly, and exactly the kind of place where one more slice always sounds like a good idea.
