01
Best overall pick
Jukebox Pizza
In Waterford • Small‑Town Family Pizzeria • Go‑To Hometown Favorite
Beloved by locals, Jukebox Pizza serves generous, crowd‑pleasing pies without leaving Waterford.
Jukebox Pizza is the kind of place where the staff recognizes repeat orders and the crust is reliably golden and chewy. The toppings are piled on, with classic pepperoni and meat‑lover combos leading the way, and the sauce leans savory rather than overly sweet. It’s an easy choice for post‑game team dinners or nights when you want solid pizza without the drive to Marietta.
02
Best small‑town classic
Sparky's Pizza
Beverly Riverfront • Laid‑Back Hometown Shop • Best For Casual Dine‑In
Just down the road in Beverly, Sparky’s feels like a classic small‑town pizza joint with a loyal following.
Sparky’s specializes in straightforward, well‑baked pizzas with a crisp edge and plenty of cheese, plus a lineup of subs and sides. The dining room is low‑key and comfortable, making it easy to linger over a pitcher of soda and a couple of large pies. It’s a natural stop when you’re already in Beverly or don’t mind a short river drive for a relaxed sit‑down meal.
03
Best for classic square‑cut
The Original Pizza Place
Historic Downtown Marietta • Old‑School Pizza Parlor • Destination Slice Stop
An institution in the Mid‑Ohio Valley, The Original Pizza Place draws fans for its thin, square‑cut pies and lively downtown vibe.
This long‑running favorite is known for its crackly‑thin crust, edge‑to‑edge toppings, and old‑school counter‑service setup. Grab a tray of pepperoni squares and a salad, then find a table and watch the foot traffic along Marietta’s historic streets. It’s worth the drive from Waterford when you want a classic, no‑gimmicks slice experience with a bit of local character.
04
Best for game‑day carryout
Cristy's Pizza
Marietta Shopping Corridor • Regional Chain Pizzeria • Top Choice For Big Orders
Cristy’s offers customizable pies, thick and thin crust options, and value‑friendly deals that suit family or team orders.
With a menu built for sharing, Cristy’s makes it easy to mix and match crust styles, toppings, and sizes for a crowd. Their specialty pizzas—like deluxe meat and loaded veggie—are popular for parties, and the breadsticks tend to disappear first from the box. It’s a smart pick when you’re coordinating multiple pizzas for a gathering back in Waterford.
05
Fastest delivery fix
Domino's Pizza
Marietta Hilltop • National Delivery Chain • Best Late‑Night Option
Domino’s in Marietta is the reliable choice for fast, customizable pizza when you don’t feel like cooking.
While it’s a big national name, the Marietta Domino’s is popular with locals for its consistent bakes, app‑based ordering, and frequent coupons. You can tailor everything from the crust and sauce level to the mix of toppings, making it easy to please a carful of hungry people on the drive back to Waterford. It’s especially handy for late‑evening cravings or quick weeknight dinners.
