01
Best overall pick
Lucy Blue Pizza
Clough Pike In Anderson Township • Late-Night Slice Shop • Local Favorite For Quick Slices
Anderson’s go-to for foldable slices, creative toppings, and a laid-back, late-night vibe.
Lucy Blue brings a downtown-by-the-slice feel to the strip along Clough Pike, with big pies on deck and slices ready to reheat fast. The crust has enough chew to fold but stays crisp at the tip, and the topping combinations are more playful than your average neighborhood joint. Seating is limited, so most locals grab a box to go or swing by for a slice after an evening out.
02
Best for families
LaRosa's Pizzeria – Anderson
Beechmont Avenue In Anderson • Family-Friendly Cincinnati Chain • Best For Big Groups And Kids
A true Cincinnati classic where big family tables, thick-crust pies, and Buddy Cards rule the night.
The Anderson LaRosa’s is a weeknight standby for east-side families, especially when no one wants to cook after practices or games. Expect familiar pan and thin-crust pies loaded with toppings, plus wings, salads, and kids’ menus that keep everyone at the table happy. Service is efficient, the atmosphere is loud in a friendly way, and carryout is dialed in for quick pickup off Beechmont.
03
Classic neighborhood standby
Mio's Pizza – Anderson
Anderson Towne Center Area • Cozy Tavern-Style Pizzeria • Best For Low-Key Nights
Cozy, old-school tavern-style pies with that crackery crust east-siders swear by.
Mio’s in Anderson feels like the kind of place regulars have been returning to for years, with square-cut pies, slightly sweet sauce, and plenty of local sports on TV. The crust is classic tavern-style—thin, crisp, and great for sharing over a pitcher. It’s just as popular for casual dine-in as for weeknight carryout when you want something a little more characterful than a big chain.
04
Destination detroit-style
Taglio Bar + Pizzeria
Columbia-Tusculum • Detroit-Style Bar Pizza • Destination Pick For Craft Pies
Destination-worthy Detroit-style slabs with crispy cheese edges just a short drive down Columbia Parkway.
Taglio’s thick, airy squares with caramelized cheese edges are worth the quick run toward the river from Turpin Hills. The menu leans into bold toppings—think hot honey, spicy pepperoni cups, and seasonal specials—paired with a solid craft beer list at the bar. It’s the spot you choose when you’re making an evening of it, not just grabbing a box on the way home.
05
Best big-slice stop
Ramundo's Pizzeria
Mt. Lookout Square • Classic New York-Slice Joint • Best For Late-Night Slices
Huge New York-style slices served late into the night at one of the east side’s most beloved counters.
Perched just off Mt. Lookout Square, Ramundo’s is the classic stop when you want a giant, foldable slice without any fuss. The crust is thin but sturdy enough to handle generous toppings, and the slice case keeps favorites ready for a quick reheat. Whether it’s a fast lunch or a late-night bite on the way back to Turpin Hills, this spot reliably hits the craving for true slice-shop energy.
