Best overall pick
LaRosa's Pizzeria – Springdale
Tri-County Retail Corridor • Family-Friendly Cincinnati-Style Pizzeria • Local Favorite For All-Ages Dinners
This busy LaRosa's outpost anchors the Springdale pizza scene with familiar pies, thick-cut pepperoni, and big booths for family nights.
If you grew up anywhere near Cincinnati, LaRosa's is probably what you picture when someone says pizza, and the Springdale location keeps that tradition going. The menu runs deep, but the move here is a classic deluxe or Buddy-style pie plus a big salad to share. It is the kind of place where kids get crayons, adults get a relaxed pace, and everyone leaves with a box for tomorrow's lunch.

Destination worth the drive
Two Cities Pizza Co.
Short Drive North In Mason • Bustling New York & Chicago-Style Spot • Best For Deep-Dish And Slice Purists
Two Cities is a suburban standout where you can compare foldable New York slices to buttery Chicago deep-dish without leaving the table.
About 20 minutes up the road in Mason, Two Cities feels like a mini pizza pilgrimage from Springdale. The room has an energetic, downtown feel, but the service is dialed in for families and bigger groups. Go with a thin-crust pie for the table and a deep-dish specialty to share so everyone can decide which city does it better.
03
Craft pizza go-to
Dewey's Pizza – Kenwood
Kenwood Shopping District • Lively Artisan Pizza And Beer Hangout • Best For Creative Toppings And Craft Brews
Dewey's in Kenwood pairs chewy, hand-tossed crust with inventive topping combos and a solid tap list just a quick hop from Springdale.
If you like your pizza with a side of people-watching and an open kitchen, Dewey's is the move. The staff is happy to split pies half-and-half, so you can balance a crowd-pleaser like the Peppercorn Ranch with something more adventurous and seasonal. It is an easy add-on to a Kenwood shopping run and a reliable meet-up spot for friends coming from different parts of town.

Old-school carryout classic
Italianette Pizza – North College Hill
North College Hill, South Of Springdale • No-Frills Neighborhood Parlor • Best For Loaded Takeout Pies
Italianette is an old-school Cincinnati favorite turning out heavy, edge-to-edge pizzas that hold up perfectly on the drive back to Springdale.
This spot is all about the food and the nostalgia, not the decor. Expect generously topped, square-cut pies with plenty of cheese, plus hoagies and wings to round out a game-night spread. Call ahead, swing by on your way north, and you will have a trunk full of hot boxes before traffic on the cross-town route really builds.
