Pizza, a quick-and-easy food which the poor majority of Neapolitans could consume quickly and cheaply, took off in the US with the Italian diaspora.

The first documented US pizzeria was G. Lombardi’s on Spring Street in Manhattan, and ever since, pizza has made its name as an American fast-food staple. Pizza is such a national phenomenon that you can find a distinct pizza style for almost every region in the country, from the most famous New York or Chicago-style to the most niche St. Louis or Rhode Island.

And among those niche pizza regions is the Ohio Valley.

‍
Queen City Weekend defines Ohio style pizza as “a round, square cut pie with a mid-thick crust, and cheese that goes all the way to the edge. The biggest twist is the sauce placement: a sweet red spiral that lays atop the cheese, along with a second spiral of garlic sauce. In doing so, the crust [stays] crispy all the way into the center, allowing the sauce to hit the tongue before other flavors.”

Whether you want to try some of this innovative Ohio style pizza, or if you just want to get a good old-fashioned slice, keep reading for our top 10 picks for pizza in Grove City.
