01
Best overall pick
Beer Barrel Pizza & Grill
East Findlay Retail Strip • Lively Sports Bar And Family Pizzeria • Best For Big Groups
A go-to for hefty pies, cold drinks, and game-day energy just a short drive from Vanlue.
Beer Barrel is the place locals book when they need to feed a crowd, with oversized pizzas, plenty of TVs, and a long tap list. The menu runs from classic pepperoni to loaded specialty pies, plus wings and burgers for the non-pizza people. It is an easy pick when you want a sit-down spot that still feels casual and kid-friendly.
02
Classic hometown slice
Jac & Do's Pizza
West Findlay • Old-School Neighborhood Pizza Shop • Local Favorite
Thin, edge-to-edge toppings and a no-frills dining room make this a staple for longtime Findlay families.
Jac & Do's serves the kind of pizza that feels built for Friday nights after ball games, with a crisp crust and cheese that runs right to the edge. The shop leans more toward takeout and relaxed booth dining than polished decor, which is exactly its charm. If you want a true local standby rather than a polished chain, this is the stop.
03
Best for takeout from Vanlue
Heavenly Pizza
Near Downtown Findlay • Carryout And Delivery Pizzeria • Best For Carryout
A dependable carryout choice with generous toppings and house-made dough, easy to grab on the way back to Vanlue.
Heavenly Pizza focuses on well-built pies with chewy crusts, hearty sauce, and toppings piled higher than the chain competition. The menu covers all the standards plus a few loaded combinations and subs, making it simple to order for a mixed group. It is especially convenient if you are running errands in Findlay and want to bring a hot pizza back home.
04
Best for hand-tossed pies
Joey Fratello's Pizzeria
South Findlay • Casual Dine-In And Carryout Pizzeria • Best For A Laid-Back Meal
A laid-back shop that leans into hand-tossed crusts and classic pizzeria comforts.
Joey Fratello's feels like a neighborhood hangout, with friendly service and pizzas that highlight the crust as much as the toppings. Expect a mix of build-your-own options and crowd-pleasing specialties, plus a few appetizers to round out the table. It is an easy choice when you want to sit down, relax, and let the kids dig into a hot pie straight from the oven.
05
Best modern take
Dougie's Pizza Co.
Northwest Findlay • Modern Fast-Casual Pizza Shop • Good For Trying Something New
A newer-style operation that emphasizes fresh ingredients and customizable pizzas.
Dougie's Pizza Co. brings a slightly more contemporary feel to the local scene, with an emphasis on high-quality toppings and plenty of build-your-own flexibility. You can keep it simple with pepperoni or experiment with different sauces, cheeses, and add-ons without it getting fussy. For Vanlue folks who know the old standbys by heart, this is a fun way to break the routine without driving far.
