5 Best Pizzerias & Pizza Places for Russells Point Ohio

Around Russells Point and Indian Lake, pizza runs the gamut from old-school carryout to destination-worthy wood-fired pies. Locals happily drive a few extra miles for a standout crust, while visitors often discover their new favorite slice between time on the water and evenings in Bellefontaine. This short list focuses on places people here actually recommend, not just the nearest chain.

 
01

Indian Lake Pizza & Subs

Russells Point Village Center • Classic Small-Town Pizza And Subs Shop • Go-To Indian Lake Carryout

A longtime local favorite for hearty pies and loaded subs just up the road from the water.

If you ask around Russells Point where to grab a solid, no-nonsense pizza, this spot is the name you hear most. The crust is sturdy enough for serious toppings, and the subs are almost as popular as the pies. It’s the kind of place where lake regulars know their order by heart and call it in on the drive back from the boat ramp.

02

Pizza Hut (Indian Lake Area)

Lakeview Near The Causeway • Family-Friendly National Chain • Best For Familiar Favorites With The Kids

Comfortingly familiar pan pizzas and stuffed crusts make this an easy choice after a long day on the lake.

Sometimes you just want a classic pan pizza everyone at the table will recognize, and this nearby Pizza Hut fills that role. Families like the predictable menu, easy parking, and the option to mix pizza with wings and breadsticks. It’s especially handy for larger groups renting cabins who need a quick, crowd-pleasing dinner.

03

Six Hundred Downtown

Downtown Bellefontaine • Neapolitan-Style Wood-Fired Pizzeria • Worth-The-Drive Pizza Experience

Award-winning, wood-fired pies in a historic downtown storefront that’s become a regional draw.

About a 20-minute drive from Russells Point, Six Hundred Downtown is the spot serious pizza fans talk about. The dough is long-fermented, blistered in a high-heat oven, and topped with carefully sourced ingredients that go beyond the usual lake-town lineup. Expect a buzzy dining room, creative specials, and a level of craft that justifies planning an evening around your meal.

04

Beer Barrel Pizza & Grill

East Bellefontaine Retail Corridor • Lively Sports-Bar Style Pizza Grill • Top Pick For Sharing Big Pies

Oversized pizzas, a deep menu, and plenty of TVs make this a natural choice for groups coming in from the lake.

Beer Barrel leans into generous portions and a casual, game-day atmosphere, which suits big families and friend groups perfectly. The crust strikes a middle ground—sturdy, a bit chewy, and built to handle heavy toppings without going soggy. It’s a popular stop on the way back from Indian Lake when everyone’s hungry and not quite ready for the day to end.

05

Donatos Pizza

South Bellefontaine • Crispy Thin-Crust Delivery And Carryout Shop • Reliable Thin-Crust Delivery Choice

Edge-to-edge toppings on a crackery thin crust make this a go-to for easy delivery to cabins and lake houses.

Donatos is the call when you want pizza that’s generous with toppings but still feels light enough for a late-night bite. The hallmark here is that ultra-thin, crispy crust and the way every slice is covered, corner to corner, with cheese and toppings. Many Indian Lake regulars keep the number saved for delivery runs when they’d rather stay on the deck and watch the sunset.
