Best overall pick
Pisanello's Pizza
Downtown Bowling Green • College-Town Pizzeria • Best For Classic Pies And Slices
Laid-back downtown staple turning out well-topped pizzas that hit the spot before or after a game.
Pisanello's feels like the kind of place every nearby town wishes it had, with plenty of topping combos and sizes to cover everything from solo lunches to big family orders.

Classic local icon
Pagliai's Pizza
South Main, Bowling Green • Old-School Family Pizzeria • Local Icon
Thin, crisp-edged pies served in a no-frills room that is all about the pizza.
Pagliai's is one of those long-running spots where locals grow up on Friday night pizza and keep coming back as adults. The crust is on the thinner side with a good crunch, and the toppings tend to be generous without overwhelming the slice. If you like a classic, slightly nostalgic pizzeria vibe, it is worth the drive from Risingsun.

North Fostoria • Casual Pizza And Grinder Shop • Best For Hearty Portions
Hearty pizzas and baked grinders that suit game-day spreads and hungry families.
Mancino's in Fostoria is a smart pick when you need more than just a couple of small pies, thanks to its hefty grinders and shareable pizzas.
