Dewey's Pizza - Harrison Greene — Restaurant in Green Township

It's rare to rediscover a place and like it more but that is exactly what occurred with this establishment. On a spur of the moment we were compelled to end our vacation by coming back to town and grabbing a late night dinner, something quaint and fast. Dewey's bubbled up from my mind and in the final hour before closing we made a visit.

The restaurant was everything we needed at that moment. Being close to closing time there were few diners seated against the walls, having quiet conversations. The lighting was moodily dark but single table lamps would cast a warm reflective glow throughout the restaurants; lending to one of the coziest dining experiences. We were promptly sat and greeted by an extraordinary staff. Our server made helpful suggestions and then proceeded to grab us some drinks. Refills would come AUTOMATICALLY which is something of a rarity. This being later at night meant that we received 110% service to which I was thankful. The beer was deliciously cold and our specialty pizza was exceptionally good. All in all it was a dreamy atmosphere, punctuated by a great Indie playlist quietly strumming over the speakers. At the end of the night, a diligent manager would stop by and make sure everything was to satisfaction and even provided a flower to my girlfriend (they had extras from National Woman's Day). I felt that this nice human gesture was the cherry ontop of an already stellar dinner. Eagerly looking...

Tried this place last night. Went in at a very busy hour. Place was packed. With all the people there I expected that I had been missing out on something very special. The menu itself only listed pizza and beer. The prices were pretty high so had expected the pizza to be pretty damn good. Then the pizza arrived. Bite by bite my taste buds waited to experience something worthwhile, but was only met with bland taste. Tried to add some parmesan cheese, but the cheese was caked up solid in the shaker. I've ate pizza from nearly every place in Cincinnati and never had a pizza I didn't like, until last night that is... I've had better pizza from the frozen food section at Kroger. I really felt quite let down. The staff was nice, prompt and curtious, but as for the pizza itself... yuck! I spent the next half hour after leaving puzzled by the crowd I had just left. Do that many people really love to pay that high a price for such bland pizza? Was it a convience factor? Close to home? The beer maybe? I don't know, but my thoughts about it prompted me to leave a review for those who think they want to try this place. LaRosa's, Domino's, Pizza Hut, Donato's, Angelo's... any of these places have a better tasting pizza than Dewey's. Don't waste your time or money....

In Cincinnati, I feel safe in saying that if you want pizza, you should go to Dewey's. Their offerings are strong and consistent, their crust is the right blend of crunchy and yeasty bready goodness, every time. If you want what I think is the perfect pizza, a standard, if you will, a home base of pizza operations that you may venture out from time to time, you will get Dewey's Green Lantern pizza; a red sauce base pie topped with mozzarella, minced garlic, mushrooms, goat cheese, artichoke hearts, and pesto. It's the last three ingredients that make this the perfect pizza. The flavor balance of those three ingredients hitting your palate in combination with the more traditional toppings will, I feel sure, produce the effect of something less than addiction, more like an expectation. You will eventually get the Socrates' Revenge and the Edgar Allen Poe, say, but you will come back again and again for the Green Lantern. The service is always great. They shined during the pandemic and should be rewarded with your patronage. You'll not be disappointed by choosing Dewey's Pizza. We stay in the city limits proper for ours, but that's a personal choice. If you like the suburbs, that's your...
