01
Best overall pick
Mama's Pizza
Mansfield Avenue Corridor In Shelby • Old-School Family Pizzeria • Local Favorite For Hearty Pies
A Shelby staple that does thick, cheesy pizzas and classic sides the way locals remember from childhood.
Mama’s is the kind of place where the crust has a little chew, the cheese lands in generous layers, and the staff knows regulars by name. The menu leans classic—pepperoni, deluxe, and meat-lovers are standouts—but you can build your own with plenty of toppings if you want to riff. It’s a reliable choice for big family orders, post-game dinners, or anyone craving a true small-town pizza night.
02
Best pizza-and-chicken combo
Gionino's Pizzeria
West Main Street Near Downtown Shelby • Carryout Pizza And Fried Chicken Shop • Top Pick For Feeding A Crowd
Known as much for its crispy fried chicken as its pizza, Gionino’s is built for big, shareable meals.
If you need to take care of both pizza lovers and fried chicken fans in one stop, Gionino’s is the go-to. The pizzas come with a slightly thicker, golden crust and a sauce that runs a touch sweet, while the signature chicken is seasoned, crunchy, and travel-friendly for takeout. Add in jojo potatoes and a few dipping sauces and you’ve got an easy spread for game day or a casual get-together.
03
Most reliable delivery
Domino's Pizza
East Main Street Corridor In Shelby • National Delivery Chain Outpost • Best For Late-Night And Last-Minute Orders
Fast, predictable, and easy to customize, Domino’s in Shelby is the default move when you just need pizza at your door.
This Domino’s location leans into what the chain does best: quick delivery, frequent deals, and a long list of crusts, sauces, and toppings. It’s ideal for weeknights when nobody wants to cook, with options ranging from classic hand-tossed to thin crust and stuffed choices. Add wings, pasta, or dessert bites and you’ve got a full spread without leaving the couch.
04
Best for creative specialty pies
Tommy Tomatoes Masterpiece Pizza
Short Drive From Shelby In The Surrounding Area • Creative Specialty-Pie Shop • Best For Trying Something Different
A small, personality-filled shop that leans into inventive toppings and thoughtfully built pies.
Tommy Tomatoes is where you go when you’re in the mood to move beyond standard pepperoni and cheese. Expect specialty combinations with plenty of vegetables, extra cheeses, and playful meat pairings, all on a crust that holds up to generous toppings. It makes a nice change of pace from the usual chains and is worth the quick drive when you want a pizza that feels a little more handcrafted.
05
Best nearby chain option
Marco's Pizza
Mansfield, A Short Drive South Of Shelby • Casual Carryout And Delivery Chain • Good Choice For Variety And Value
Marco’s offers a broad menu of pizzas, subs, and salads, making it a convenient stop when plans take you through Mansfield.
If you’re already heading toward Mansfield for shopping or errands, Marco’s is an easy add-on for dinner. The pizzas lean slightly more old-world, with a flavorful sauce and plenty of topping combinations, including popular meat-heavy and deluxe options. Round things out with cheesy bread or a sub, grab it to go, and you’re back on the road to Shelby with dinner sorted.
