If you want to take things up a notch, check out this Esso Sausage Spicy Pizza. A classic with a little kick, this spicy pepperoni is made locally by the Esso Sausage Company. Can’t take the heat? Wash it down with a beer from the bar (I.e. the “brew” in OH Pizza and Brew). They have Happy Hour daily from 3-6pm.
Perfect for: After work bite and beer
Pizza Rustica
BBQ Chicken Pizza, Pizza Rustica
Right across from the Ohio Statehouse, Pizza Rustica has everything you could want from fast-casuel fare and … and then some. The mega slices are sufficient solo or pair with another offering from their menu like calzones, salad or gelato.
They also have a secret entrance inside the Huntington Center so no need to make an extra trip outside.
Perfect for: mixing and matching.
4th & State
Jalapeno Popper Stuffed-Crust Pizza, 4th & State
Not your typical pizza place, everything on the menu is vegan. That’s right - EVERYTHING. But if you take your meat-loving friends they might never know. You must try the Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Crust pizza. We may be biased, but it’s easily the best in the city. Pizza is just a slice of what this upscale diner offers so be sure to check out their entire menu.
Perfect for: Meatless Monday
Mikey’s Late Night Slice
Garbage Pizza, Mikey's Late Night Slice
Irreverent, ingenious, delicious. Pizza and pop culture combine for an over-the-top experience in an insta-worthy locale. If you’re not familiar with this iconic Columbus pizza joint, they’re known for in-your-face names like The Wedgie and Silence of the Buffalo Chickens. They’ve also got GF and vegan options so everyone can partake.
While you’re there, check out other neighbors like Hadley’s, Dirty Frank's, Little Palace or Spoonful Records – all within walking distance.
Perfect For: A late-night slice (trite but true)
