01
Best overall pick
Sam's Pizza & Heroes
In Smithville Village • Classic Small-Town Pizzeria And Sandwich Shop • Go-To Hometown Spot
A longtime Smithville staple turning out hearty pies and subs with a friendly, no-rush small-town feel.
Sam’s sits right on the main drag and feels like the kind of place everyone in town knows by name. The pizzas are generously topped, with a crust that lands between soft and crisp, and the “heroes” subs are just as popular as the pies. It’s an easy choice for a casual family dinner or a post-game pickup order that will actually feed a crowd.
02
Worth-the-drive institution
Coccia House
Downtown Wooster • Old-School Tavern-Style Pizzeria • Legendary Local Favorite
A Wooster landmark known for thick, square-cut pies piled high with toppings in a cozy, time-warp dining room.
Coccia House is the place locals point to when you ask where to get a truly memorable pizza nearby. Expect a sturdy, slightly chewy crust, loads of cheese, and edge-to-edge toppings that make each square-cut piece feel substantial. The atmosphere is relaxed and a little nostalgic, so plan to linger over a pie and maybe a pitcher rather than rushing in and out.
03
Best for big appetites
Milano's Pizzeria
East Side Of Wooster • Casual Italian-American Pizza Joint • Great For Groups And Teams
Crowd-pleasing pizzas with plenty of cheese, classic toppings, and easy-going service that works well for larger parties.
Milano’s leans into comfort-food territory, with a menu full of pizzas, pastas, and wings that make it a natural pick after practices and school events. The pizzas tend to be generously sized and loaded, so sharing a couple of different specialty pies is the move. Dine in for a laid-back sit-down meal or call ahead for carryout when you need to feed a van full of hungry kids quickly.
04
Best buffet-style option
East of Chicago Pizza
Orrville • Regional Chain With Pan And Specialty Pizzas • Good For Value And Variety
Thick, saucy pan pizzas and rotating buffet selections make this Orrville shop a handy pick for budget-friendly family meals.
East of Chicago’s Orrville outpost is popular with families who like to mix and match slices without overthinking the order. The signature pan crust is soft inside with a buttery edge, and there are usually plenty of specialty combinations in the rotation. It’s a solid choice when you want predictable, satisfying pizza and the option to let everyone graze at their own pace.
05
Most convenient delivery
Domino's Pizza
Near The College Of Wooster • Fast-Delivery National Chain • Best For Late-Night Orders
A reliable standby for hot, customizable pizzas and sides when you care more about speed and convenience than atmosphere.
Wooster’s Domino’s serves a wide delivery radius, making it a practical option for Smithville residents on busy weeknights. The menu covers everything from thin-crust and hand-tossed pies to sandwiches, pasta, and wings, all built to travel well. It shines when you need something straightforward, fast, and consistent, especially later in the evening when most independent spots are winding down.
