Top south-side slice stop
Maxwell's Pizza - South
South Zanesville / Maysville Pike • Drive-Thru Pizza Joint With A Diner Feel • Best Grab-And-Go Option
A fast, friendly south-side staple where you can swing through for a hot, made-to-order pie without leaving the car.
Maxwell's is the kind of spot locals hit when they want a quick, hearty pizza that still tastes like it was made in a neighborhood shop, not a factory line. The drive-thru setup makes it especially handy for weeknights or after a game, and the pies lean generously topped and satisfying. If you want convenience without sacrificing that small-town pizzeria character, this is your move.

Reliable delivery hero
Four Star Pizza & Subs (South Zanesville)
Maysville Avenue Strip • Casual Carryout And Delivery Shop • Local Delivery Standby
A go-to for loaded pizzas and subs when you want dinner brought to your door on the south side.
Four Star's south location is built around big, classic pies and a delivery team that covers the neighborhoods around South Zanesville night after night. Crusts are sturdy enough to handle plenty of toppings, and the menu's subs and wings make it easy to feed a crowd on short notice. It is the kind of place you keep on speed dial for busy evenings and game-day orders.

Classic Zanesville institution
Adornetto's Selected Italian
Downtown Zanesville Riverfront • Old-School Italian Restaurant And Pizzeria • Best Sit-Down Experience
A long-running red-sauce favorite known for its saucy, cheesy pizzas and big family portions.
Adornetto's is a short hop across the river but feels like a destination, with checkered-tablecloth energy and pizzas that have fed generations of Zanesville families. The crust comes out thin and crisp around the edges, with plenty of cheese and that slightly sweet, signature tomato sauce. It is the spot to choose when you want pizza to feel like a proper night out rather than just takeout.
04
Neighborhood favorite pie
Tat's Pizzeria
East Zanesville Neighborhood • Small-Town Pizzeria With A Cozy Vibe • Best For Low-Key Night Out
A relaxed little shop turning out well-topped, no-nonsense pies that feel made for regulars.
Tat's leans into the neighborhood-pizza ideal: friendly faces at the counter, a compact menu, and pizzas built the way locals actually order them. Expect sturdy crusts, hearty toppings, and sizes that work just as well for a couple as for a small group. It is an easy choice when you want to sit down without fuss, share a pie, and still be home early.
05
Craft pizza standout
Russo's Wood Fired Pizza
North Zanesville Shopping Corridor • Wood-Fired Artisan Pizzeria And Bar • Best For Craft Pizza And Drinks
A wood-fired specialist serving char-kissed pies with creative toppings in a lively, modern space.
Russo's is worth the short drive north if you are chasing blistered crusts and more adventurous topping combinations than you will find at a typical takeout joint. The pizzas come out of the oven with a smoky edge and a soft, chewy center that shows off the fresh ingredients. With a solid drink list and a casual-but-polished dining room, it works just as well for a date night as for meeting friends before a show or game.
