01
Classic downtown staple
LaGrande Pizza & Subs
Downtown Wapakoneta • Old-School Pizzeria And Sub Shop • Longtime Local Favorite
A Wapak standby since the 1960s, LaGrande is where locals go for familiar pies, piled subs, and plenty of nostalgia.
LaGrande’s thin-to-regular crust pizzas hit that sweet spot between crispy and chewy, with toppings that lean classic rather than trendy. The menu’s just as much about subs and baked pasta, so it works well when not everyone in the group is craving pizza. Expect a no-frills, hometown feel where the staff usually recognizes repeat customers.
02
Best overall carryout
Padrone’s Pizza
East Side, Near Bellefontaine Street • Casual Carryout And Delivery Shop • Best For Weeknight Pizza Night
Padrone’s turns out consistently solid, sauce-forward pies with plenty of topping options and easy ordering for busy evenings.
The crust at Padrone’s is sturdy enough to handle generous toppings, making their specialty pizzas a smart move if you like big flavors. Locals lean on it for quick carryout or delivery when cooking just isn’t happening, thanks to predictable timing and friendly service. Round out your order with their wings or breadsticks if you’re feeding a crowd during the game.
03
Fun themed pick
Apollo Pizza
Defiance Street Corridor • Space-Themed Local Pizzeria • Best For Something A Little Different
With its space-inspired branding and hearty pies, Apollo Pizza brings a bit of personality to the Wapak pizza lineup.
Apollo leans into the area’s space heritage with a playful theme and generously topped pizzas that are easy to share. The crust runs on the thicker, heartier side, making it a good choice if you want a filling meal rather than a light snack. Keep an eye out for their specialty combinations and occasional food truck appearances, which make it a fun option for local events.
04
Best for big groups
CJ’s Pizza
Residential Wapakoneta, Off Defiance Street • Family-Friendly Pizza Shop • Go-To For Parties And Teams
Known for its gigantic sheet pizzas, CJ’s is built for feeding hungry teams, birthday parties, and large family get-togethers.
If you need to feed a lot of people on a budget, CJ’s oversized sheet pizzas are the local move, with plenty of topping choices to keep everyone happy. The crust is soft and crowd-pleasing, more about comfort than crisp artisan char. Between the easy parking and straightforward ordering, it’s a stress-free option when you’re in charge of the food for a group.
05
Familiar national name
Pizza Hut
Bellefontaine Street Strip • Chain Pizzeria With Dine-In And Carryout • Best For Familiar Comfort Pizza
Wapakoneta’s Pizza Hut delivers exactly what you’d expect: classic pan and stuffed-crust pies in a straightforward, family-friendly setting.
When you want zero surprises, this is the spot—Pan Pizza, breadsticks, wings, and all the usual favorites are front and center. It’s an easy meet-up choice for families or friends who prefer a sit-down chain over a tighter local storefront. The location along Bellefontaine makes it convenient to swing by on the way in or out of town.
