Best roadside slice
Pilot Pizza
Along Us-23 North Of Circleville • Roadside Carryout And Delivery Shop • Road-Trip Favorite
A convenient US-23 stop turning out surprisingly solid pizzas loaded with toppings.
Pilot Pizza is the spot Williamsport drivers hit when they want something better than standard gas-station fare without leaving the highway corridor. Crusts are sturdy, the cheese is generous, and the specialty pies lean hearty, making them ideal for feeding a carful of people on the way home.

Best for families
Pizza Cottage
North Court Street In Circleville • Family-Friendly Ohio Pizza Chain • Group-Friendly Dine-In
A roomy sit-down spot with classic Ohio-style pies, big salads, and plenty of space for a crowd.
Pizza Cottage is where many Williamsport families head when they want to make pizza night more of an outing. The pies are saucy and cheese-forward, with lots of topping combos and the option to split half-and-half for picky eaters. Add in wings, salads, and a casual dining room, and it works just as well for kids’ teams as it does for a relaxed Friday night.
03
Best thin-crust
Donatos Pizza
South Side Of Circleville • Crisp Thin-Crust Chain Pizzeria • Takeout Staple
Famous for edge-to-edge toppings on a crisp, square-cut thin crust that travels well back to Williamsport.
Donatos brings the classic Columbus-style thin crust to the Circleville area, with pizzas cut into neat squares and every inch covered in toppings. It is a go-to when you want predictable quality and fast service, especially for takeout or delivery toward Williamsport. The pepperoni and serious cheese coverage make it a favorite for game nights and casual gatherings.
04
Best old-school pie
Cardo's Pizza & Pasta
Downtown Circleville • Old-School Regional Pizza Joint • Local Favorite
A long-running regional spot serving nostalgic, generously topped pies and comfort-food sides.
Cardo’s has the feel of a classic small-town pizza shop, the kind of place people remember from high school hangouts and post-game dinners. The crust runs a bit thicker and chewier than the thin-chain style, with plenty of cheese and a slightly sweet sauce that keeps locals coming back. Add in pasta, subs, and garlic bread, and it is easy to build a full, budget-friendly meal for a crew driving in from Williamsport.
05
Best pizza-and-a-beer stop

East Main Street In Circleville • Neighborhood Bar-And-Pizza Spot • Casual Evening Hangout
A laid-back pub where you can pair a hot, cheesy pie with a cold drink and a game on TV.
Gant’s Pizza & Pub is the choice when your pizza craving comes with a side of bar atmosphere. The crust is sturdy enough to handle loaded toppings, and there is a solid lineup of classic combinations along with wings and appetizers. It is a relaxed, locals’ place—ideal for a casual night out after a drive in from Williamsport when you want to linger over a pitcher and a pie.
