01
Best overall pick
Rubi's Pizza & Grill
Steubenville Hilltop Corridor • Family Grill & Pizzeria • Best Overall Pick For Variety
A local go-to where crisp pies share the menu with burgers, pasta, and stromboli, making it an easy crowd-pleaser for mixed tastes.[3][4]
Rubi’s tops many local lists for its combination of well-built pizza and a full grill menu, so it works just as well for a casual date night as it does a team dinner after a game.[3][4] The crust leans sturdy rather than floppy, with plenty of cheese and toppings, and you can round things out with wings, burgers, or a plate of pasta if someone in the group isn’t in a pizza mood.[3] Daily pizza specials make it a smart choice when you’re feeding a few hungry people without spending a fortune.[3]
02
Classic square-cut stop
DiCarlo's Pizza Downtown
Downtown Steubenville Riverfront • Old-School Square-Slice Shop • Classic Local Institution
This downtown counter spot is where many locals point first for a nostalgic tray of square-cut, sauce-forward pizza.[4]
DiCarlo’s Downtown is about as classic Ohio Valley as it gets: square slices, a simple dough-and-sauce base, and that signature shake of cheese added after the bake.[4] It’s the kind of place where you order by the slice or the tray, eat it hot while it’s still on the paper, and swap stories about who first brought you there. The atmosphere is bare-bones, but that’s part of the charm—this stop is all about the pizza and the downtown Steubenville ritual around it.[4]
03
Sit-down favorite
Bruno's Pizza
Near Franciscan University • Cozy Dine-In Pizzeria • Best For Relaxed Dinners
A comfortable, family-friendly spot where you can linger over thickly topped pies and a pitcher of soda after class or a game.[4]
Bruno’s feels like the neighborhood pizzeria every college town needs, with a steady flow of students, families, and regulars filling the booths.[4] The pizzas come out nicely browned and generously topped, making them easy to share around the table, and the pace is relaxed enough that you don’t feel rushed out the door. It’s a smart pick when you want to sit down, talk, and treat pizza like a proper meal rather than just a quick grab-and-go.[4]
04
Hearty takeout choice
Malta's Pizza
Market Street Downtown Strip • Takeout And Delivery Shop • Best For Hearty Takeout
Downtown locals lean on Malta’s for made-to-order pizzas, hoagies, and wings, especially on nights when nobody feels like cooking.[2][4]
Tucked on Market Street, Malta’s runs a tight, old-school operation focused on hot, filling food and straightforward service.[2] The menu lines up all the usual suspects—pizza, salads, hoagies, and wings—so it’s easy to build a full spread for a movie night or game day without hopping between places.[2] Delivery within the Steubenville city limits makes it especially handy if you’re staying nearby or hosting friends and want everything to arrive in one shot.[2]
05
Reliable delivery standby
Vocelli Pizza of Steubenville
Sunset Boulevard Commercial Strip • Chain Delivery And Carryout Pizzeria • Go-To For Reliable Delivery
A familiar regional chain turning out consistent pies, wings, and sides, with long delivery hours that cover most weeknight cravings.[1]
Set along Sunset Boulevard, Vocelli’s is the dependable option when you want pizza on the table with minimal decision-making.[1] The menu runs through build-your-own pies, specialty combinations, wings, and a few extras, and the extended hours and delivery focus make it a practical choice after late practices or long shifts.[1] It may not be the most romantic pick in town, but in terms of speed, consistency, and easy online ordering, it earns its spot in the local rotation.[1]
