OLD SCRATCH PIZZA REVIEWS

Crispy tasting pizza in a former mechanics garage. Nice big family Mediterranean salad. 12 inch pizzas are plenty for 2 to share. Margherita pizza so tasty. Worth it. Nice outside seating too.

We had great service and food. Sat at the bar. Seating was full at the tables. Bartender was awesome. Great drinks, and the wood fired pizza was good. I am not a pizza person, but the wife is. She loved it. We will definitely good back.

Excellent quality food, great service, good experience. It is quite loud in the restaurant and it’s not huge portions for the prices. But I’ll be back.

JOE'S PIZZERIA REVIEWS

Joe's is one of the last bastions of the classic pizza place from my childhood. The pizza is fantastic and it always feels so comfortable to eat here. The carry out is good too, but the boxes aren't very thick, so bring an insulted bag to keep your pizza hot on the way home. Their pepperoni is always so crispy and its my favorite.

One of Dayton's favorites that always hits the spot. Their cupped pepperonis are perfect and have a nice salty taste. Prices here are almost a throwback with $1.50 salads and $1.00 additional toppings on a jumbo pizza. Meatballs with marinara were delicious as well.

My Buddy Chris said he loves Joes pizza! He’s always right when he makes a recommendation! I swear he has a PHD in pizza! People listen up! The pepperoni curls!!! What else do you need.

DEWEY'S PIZZA REVIEWS

First time ever and will 1000% be coming back! My table tried 5 different variations of pizza and they were allll sooo delicious!!! We literally couldn’t stop eating ! Love that it’s thin crust so you’re not getting full fast from all the dough, plus the crust itself is very good too! The house made ranch is amazing too!! Everything was so good!!! I can’t wait to come back thank you!.

Vegan approved!! I'm so impressed with the Killer Veggie from Dewey's Pizza! It was loaded with mushrooms, black olives, green peppers, tomatoes, parsley, and dairy-free cheeze. The soft and chewy crust tasted aHHmazing! The Cheeze Pizza was phenomenal, too! I'm a huge fan of their coconut-based cheeze. If you like New York Style pizza, then you will love this place. Dewey's, thank you for offering Vegan options!.

Great pizza place. Love the selections and the pizza was AMAZING! Great crust, good flavor on the sauce and the toppings were very fresh with just the right amount of everything. Loved it here and will definitely be back, highly recommended.
