Destination-worthy pick
Six Hundred Downtown
Downtown Bellefontaine • Wood-Fired Neapolitan-Style Pizzeria • Destination-Worthy Pie
Serious, competition-level pies in a charming downtown dining room about 20 minutes from Ridgeway.
Six Hundred Downtown is the place you go when you want pizza to be the main event, not just dinner. The dough is slow-fermented, the pies are fired in a blazing-hot oven, and toppings lean from classic margherita to creative specials. It makes for an easy night out in Bellefontaine, with shops and bars a short walk away if you want to linger.
02
Classic local staple
Jac & Do's Pizza
West Bellefontaine • Old-School Carryout And Dine-In Pizzeria • Best Budget-Friendly Pick
A longtime Bellefontaine standby turning out generous, crowd-pleasing pies at friendly prices.
Jac & Do's is the kind of hometown pizza place people grow up on, with a slightly sweet sauce, plenty of cheese, and a crust sturdy enough for loaded toppings. The dining room is casual and family-friendly, but it’s just as popular for big takeout orders on game nights. From Ridgeway, it’s an easy drive when you want lots of pizza without spending a lot.
03
Closest go-to option
Michael Angelo's Pizza
Downtown Kenton • Classic Small-Town Pizza Shop • Local Favorite
A convenient Kenton standby with reliable pies, subs, and wings just up the road from Ridgeway.
Michael Angelo's is one of the first names locals mention for a quick, satisfying pizza run in Kenton. The crust lands in that happy middle ground between thin and thick, with plenty of topping combinations and hearty specialty pies. It’s close enough for spur-of-the-moment takeout from Ridgeway, especially on weeknights when you don’t feel like cooking.
04
College-town crowd pleaser
Padrone's Pizza
Campus-Side Ada • Casual Pizza And Wings Spot • Best For Game Nights
A lively Ada favorite turning out big, shareable pizzas and wings that play well with a game on TV.
Serving Ohio Northern University students and locals alike, Padrone's leans into hearty, shareable pizza with plenty of cheese and bold toppings. It’s a natural choice when you’re meeting friends to watch a game or feeding a hungry crew after a long day. From Ridgeway, it’s a straightforward drive if you want a slightly different scene than Kenton or Bellefontaine.
05
Best for groups
Benny's Pizza Pub & Patio
South Marysville • Lively Pizza Pub With Large Patio • Best For Groups And Live Music
A spacious Marysville spot where thin-crust pies share the spotlight with a big patio and frequent live music.
Benny's is worth the slightly longer drive when you want pizza plus atmosphere, not just a box to take home. The menu runs from crispy, square-cut pies to sandwiches and salads, and the sprawling patio is a draw in warm weather. Check the schedule for bands and events, then plan a Ridgeway night out built around pizza, cold drinks, and live music.
