DeStazios LLC - Elmore, OH — Restaurant in Harris Township

Visited for the first time tonight and had a great experience! We ordered a large with a lot of toppings! The owner came out to let us know it would take a few extra minutes to make sure it was cooked correctly! In the meantime we opted to sit at one of the handful of tables.
