Best value slice-and-sub stop
Curly's Pizza & Subs
Neighborhood Strip In Greater Lima • Casual Counter-Service Pizza And Sub Shop • Budget-Friendly Family Option
Straight-up, well-priced pizzas and subs that work just as well for a quick dinner as they do for a kids’ party.
Curly’s keeps things unfussy and affordable, which is exactly what many families want on a busy weeknight. The crust is classic Midwest—sturdy enough for lots of toppings, with a sauce that leans savory rather than sweet. Add in hot subs, breadsticks, and friendly service, and it’s an easy regular stop for Spencerville folks who don’t mind a short drive.

Best sit-down Italian vibe
Bella Notta's
Cozy Spot Off A Main Lima Thoroughfare • Homey Italian-American Restaurant With Pizza • Laid-Back Dine-In Choice
A comfortable dining room where hand-tossed pizzas share the table with pasta, salads, and classic Italian comfort dishes.
Bella Notta’s feels more like a family dining room than a typical slice shop, which makes it a nice change of pace from pure carryout. The pizzas arrive on hand-tossed crusts with balanced toppings, ideal for sharing alongside a bowl of pasta or a big salad. It’s a good bet when you want a sit-down meal but still crave a familiar, cheesy pie.
