Best for big groups
Marion's Piazza
Near Fairfield Commons In Beavercreek • Dayton-Style Thin-Crust Institution • Best For Families And Teams
A sprawling dining room, cracker-thin crust, and generously topped pies make Marion's a go-to after games or duty shifts.
This Beavercreek outpost of the beloved Dayton chain is one of the closest classic pizza spots to the base, and it’s built to handle crowds. Think party-cut, ultra-thin crust pizza loaded edge-to-edge with toppings, plus pitchers of soda and plenty of seating for units or youth teams. It’s casual, quick, and exactly the kind of place locals pick for relaxed group gatherings.

Classic Fairborn institution
Giovanni's
Downtown Fairborn • Old-School Italian Restaurant • Local Landmark
A long-running Fairborn favorite, Giovanni’s serves hearty Italian comfort food with pizza that keeps nearby airmen coming back.
Just a few minutes from the base gates, Giovanni’s feels like the kind of place generations of Wright-Patt families have adopted as their own. The pizza leans classic—chewy crust, rich sauce, and a generous layer of cheese—with plenty of traditional toppings and Italian dinners on the menu if not everyone at the table wants a pie. It’s especially good when you want a sit-down meal that’s cozy rather than trendy.
03
Craft beer and wood-fired pies
Old Scratch Pizza & Beer
Pentagon Boulevard Corridor In Beavercreek • Modern Wood-Fired Pizzeria And Taproom • Best For Craft Beer Lovers
Old Scratch pairs blistered, wood-fired pies with a strong tap list and a buzzy, industrial-style dining room.
Tucked among the Pentagon Boulevard shops, Old Scratch brings a more contemporary take on pizza to the Wright-Patt orbit. Pies come out of the wood-fired oven with leopard-spotted crusts, creative toppings, and just enough char to keep things interesting, alongside a rotating selection of local and regional beers. It’s a natural choice when you’re off duty, meeting friends, or showing visitors that Dayton’s pizza scene has a modern side.
04
Game-day hangout
Milano's
North Fairfield Road Retail Strip • Lively Sports Bar With Pizza And Subs • Best For Watching The Game
Milano’s combines big-screen sports, cold beer, and hefty pizzas and subs in a lively, base-friendly atmosphere.
A short hop from the mall and popular with both students and airmen, Milano’s is where you go when you want the game on every screen and a pizza in the middle of the table. The crust is on the sturdier side to handle plenty of cheese and toppings, and there’s a full lineup of subs, wings, and shareable appetizers. It’s loud in a good way—ideal for catching a big matchup or unwinding after a long shift with a group.

Neighborhood carryout favorite
Beavercreek Pizza Dive
Residential Beavercreek • Casual Carryout Spot For Loaded Pies • Best For Delivery And Takeout
Known for creative specialty pies and hefty toppings, Beavercreek Pizza Dive is a local secret weapon for takeout nights near the base.
This low-key shop leans hard into flavor over flash, turning out thickly topped pizzas that travel well back to on-base housing or a nearby hotel. The menu ranges from straightforward pepperoni to inventive specialty combinations, plus cheesy bread and other add-ons that round out a full takeout spread. It’s the kind of place you bookmark after one order for those nights when cooking just isn’t happening.
