01
Best overall pick
Wedgewood Fernando's Pizza
South Avenue, Boardman • Old-School, Sauce-Forward Pizzeria • Local Legend
A classic Mahoning Valley pie with a bold red sauce, sturdy crust, and serious pepperoni coverage.
If locals had to nominate one must-try pizza near Woodworth, Wedgewood Fernando’s would be on nearly every short list. The crust is firm enough to hold up a heavy load of cheese and cup-and-char pepperoni, while the slightly sweet, garlicky sauce keeps each bite balanced. Expect a bit of a wait on busy nights, but the sheet pizzas and party-cut squares travel well and feed a crowd.
02
Best for weeknight takeout
Gia's Pizzeria
Western Reserve Road Corridor • Family-Run Takeout Shop • Carryout Favorite
A dependable neighborhood spot known for well-browned cheese, generous toppings, and friendly counter service.
Gia’s feels like the kind of place where staff recognize regulars by name, and the pizza fits that same unfussy, comfortable vibe. The crust runs on the slightly thicker side, with a nice chew and plenty of cheese that blisters and browns around the edges. It’s an easy go-to when you want a straightforward, satisfying pie to bring back home to Woodworth without hunting for parking or a long table.
03
Best for pizza and wings
Bruno Brothers Pizza
Southern Boardman • Casual Pizza-And-Wings Joint • Game-Day Pick
A crowd-pleasing spot where hearty pizzas and solid wings make ordering for a group simple.
Bruno Brothers leans into classic comfort food: thick, cheesy pies cut into squares, plus wings and sides that travel well for parties or game days. The crust has enough heft to stand up to extra toppings, so piling on pepperoni, sausage, or banana peppers doesn’t turn the slice soggy. It’s the kind of place you call when you’re feeding a mix of kids, picky eaters, and wing fans all at once.
04
Best classic local style
Cornersburg Pizza
Glenwood Avenue, Boardman • Thick-Crust Hometown Pizza Shop • Old-School Favorite
A Mahoning Valley staple with a bready crust, edge-to-edge toppings, and a loyal local following.
Cornersburg Pizza serves the kind of pie many area residents grew up on: square-cut slices with a thick, airy crust and toppings that run right out to the edge. It’s ideal if you like a substantial slice that still stays light enough for a second or third piece. The simple, straightforward menu and fast turnaround make it a reliable option when you’re swinging up from Woodworth and want something familiar.
05
Best for families
Pizza Joe's
Market Street, Boardman • Regional Chain With A Hometown Feel • Family-Friendly Staple
A flexible option with kid-friendly pies, party trays, and plenty of customizable combinations.
Pizza Joe’s brings a consistent, regionally familiar style: medium-thick crust, balanced sauce, and toppings that skew classic rather than trendy. It’s especially handy for family gatherings or youth sports nights, thanks to sheet pizzas and specials that keep the bill in check. From Woodworth, it’s a quick drive for a dependable pie that everyone at the table can agree on.
