Grab a Slice at These Top Columbus Pizza Joints
Pizza's not only a quick and easy way to fill your belly, it’s an art form unto itself
Whether for takeout or dine in, Columbus pizza delivers pies rivaling New York or Chicago, with some unique twists of its own.
Feel the Heat: Natalie’s Coal Fired Pizza
Some of the best pizza in Columbus gets fired up in a 1,000-degree oven at Natalie’s Coal Fired Pizza (5601 N. High St., Worthington). The pizzas start with a 100-year-old recipe for sourdough crust and are topped with local, farm-fresh ingredients. Make an evening of it by staying for the live music, or end your weekend with Sunday brunch. If you’re an early riser, try the Morning Side Coal-Fired Pizza topped with bacon, eggs, cheese and arugula.
True Local Flavor: Harvest Pizzeria
German Village enjoys a reputation for some of the best restaurants in Columbus, and Harvest Pizzeria (495 S. 4th St., Columbus) is no exception. Savor fresh-made pizza fired over local cherry wood. Kick up your meal with a Spicy Yuma pizza—chorizo, roasted red pepper, corn and jalapeno blend with a chipotle-infused tomato sauce and a gouda/havarti cheese to pack a flavorful Southwestern punch.
Best Pizza Rolling: Mikey’s Late Night Slice
When you’re dancing the night away in downtown, keep an eye open for the big, black PizzAssault Trucks rolling out pizza from Mikey’s Late Night Slice (268 S. 4th St., Columbus). Cheese and pepperoni aren’t your only choices. Delve into a mushroom and roasted garlic pizza. Or fall in love with the Spicy Pepperoni, where Sriracha sauce, banana peppers and red pepper flakes add eye-opening zip. Don’t see a truck? Head to the downtown, Clintonville or Short North brick and mortars, open until at least 3:00 a.m.
That Wonderful Weirdough: Bono Pizza
You’ll find your favorite classic toppings at Bono Pizza (1412 Presidential Dr., Columbus), but the best way to enjoy this place is to welcome a new taste bud adventure. Take on the Hulk for all things green and tasty—pesto sauce under ingredients like artichoke hearts, capers, zucchini, spinach, olives, green peppers and arugula. Or go all out with a TonnoBono. The mustard base supports a surprisingly delicious combo of sour cream, tuna, tomatoes and cheese.
Best Bet for Tender Tummies: Yellow Brick Pizza
Dietary restrictions such as gluten or lactose intolerance don’t have to squash your pizza cravings. Turn your appetite loose at Yellow Brick Pizza (892 Oak St., Columbus). The restaurant clearly marks its gluten-free and vegetarian options, so you won’t end up biting into something you’ll regret later. Enjoy the Green Man without guilt—pesto, spinach, artichokes, broccoli, kale and mozzarella—and you can even substitute vegan cheese.
