Closest hometown slice
The Pizza Parlor
Magnolia • Small-Town Family Pizzeria • Best Overall Pick
A cozy Magnolia standby that does classic Ohio-style pizza the way locals like it.
Just a short drive east of Waynesburg, The Pizza Parlor feels like the kind of place everyone in town has a story about. The crust is sturdy enough for loaded toppings, and the sauce leans comforting rather than fancy. It’s an easy choice when you want a laid-back pie that tastes like small-town Stark County.

Stark County classic
Kraus' Pizza Canton South
Canton South • Local Takeout Pizza Counter • Local Favorite
A Canton South institution known for its square-cut pies, generous cheese, and loyal following.
Kraus' Pizza is one of those Stark County names people grow up with, and the Canton South shop is the go-to spot for many folks south of the city. Expect edge-to-edge toppings, a slightly sweeter sauce, and that signature square cut. Call ahead on busy nights—this place moves a lot of pies before the big game.

Old-school pie stop
Pizza Oven Canton South
Canton South • Old-School Stark County Pizza Chain • Game-Night Staple
Thick, hearty pizzas with a cult following and a sauce Stark County people swear by.
Pizza Oven leans into the classic northeast Ohio style: plenty of dough, a blanket of cheese, and a sauce with just enough sweetness to keep you grabbing another slice. The Canton South location is popular with families and teams heading home from the fields. It’s a great pick when you want a filling, shareable pizza that travels well back to Waynesburg.

Toppings-heavy favorite
Gionino's Pizzeria Minerva
Minerva • Neighborhood Carryout And Delivery Shop • Best For Loaded Toppings
A Northeast Ohio chain that piles on the toppings and is known for its crispy-edged crust.
Minerva’s Gionino's is a convenient option when you’re out that way and want a pizza with some heft. The crust runs on the thicker side, with nicely browned edges and plenty of cheese. Pair a specialty pie with their well-known chicken for an easy weeknight spread that feeds a crowd back in Waynesburg.

Reliable dine-in option
Pizza Hut Minerva
Minerva • Casual National Pizza Restaurant • Best For Families
A familiar sit-down spot where you can get pan pizza, breadsticks, and a relaxed booth for the family.
If you’re looking for something predictable and kid-friendly, the Minerva Pizza Hut fits the bill. The pan pizzas come out hot with that trademark buttery crust, and there’s enough variety to keep picky eaters happy. It’s a straightforward choice when you’d rather slide into a booth than carry boxes back to the car.
