Best for creative pies
Dewey's Pizza – Woodman Drive
East Dayton / Woodman Drive • Contemporary Sit-Down Pizzeria • Best For Craft Combinations
Hand-tossed, chewy crust with inventive topping combos and a polished, family-friendly dining room a short drive from Riverside.
Dewey’s on Woodman Drive brings a more modern, slightly upscale take to the local pizza circuit. The menu leans into specialty pies with combinations like seasonal veggies, bold cheeses, and house sauces, along with a solid build-your-own option. It’s a smart choice when you want something a step above basic delivery pizza but still relaxed enough for kids and post-work meetups.
04
Best for slices with a twist
Flyboy's Deli & Pizza – Beavercreek
Near The Greene In Beavercreek • New York-Inspired Deli And Pizzeria • Best For Dine-In And Variety
New York-leaning pies, subs, and deli favorites served in an aviation-themed space that works for both lunch and casual dinners.
Flyboy’s in Beavercreek is known as much for its deli case as its pizzas, but the pies are worth the trip from Riverside. Crusts lean toward New York style—foldable but still with a bit of chew—and toppings range from straightforward pepperoni to loaded specialty combinations. With sandwiches, salads, and apps on the same menu, it’s a reliable pick when not everyone in the group is in a strict pizza mood.

Most reliable chain option
Donatos Pizza – Riverside Area
Riverside / East Dayton • Carryout And Delivery Chain Pizzeria • Best For Easy Takeout
Familiar thin-crust pies with edge-to-edge toppings and fast delivery when you just need pizza to show up at the door.
Donatos is the dependable choice for Riverside households that want predictable, consistent pizza without overthinking it. The signature is a very thin crust loaded from edge to edge with toppings, plus the usual wings, subs, and salads for a full takeout spread. It’s not the most atmospheric, but for game nights, last-minute gatherings, or feeding a crew after practice, it gets the job done every time.
