Plaza Pizza - Newark — Restaurant in Ohio

Where ever I travel I like to try good local food. Let's just say I love to travel and eat 🙂 I recently visited my family in Ohio and as they know I am a big lover of thin crust pizza, they recommended their local mom and pop pizza place, Plaza Pizza. They would get their pizza from Plaza a couple of times a month. I said, sure let's go and find out what's all the hype about. My my my were they right! First of all I have to praise the staff that were super nice. I bet the owners keep the friendly and almost family like atmosphere. Everyone was smiling and actually enjoyed their work. We did wait for our tasty piece of goodness for about 25 min but that just shows you how good they actually are. As we waited, the queue just kept getting bigger and bigger. We were there during the week but I bet during the weekends folks just swarm the place. The 2 of us ordered „All the Meats“ pizza and the „Italian Salad“ without the banana peppers. The salad was super tasty and complemented the meaty rich pizza perfectly. The thin crust in combo with the meats made the pizza melt in our mouths. They are super gracious and not stingy at all with their fresh ingredients. Loved it! While we were still in the area, we went there one more time and ordered a pepperoni pizza and an apple pie they call Shirley Lou. Tasted similar to the one my grandmother used to make. You can bet that made me reminisce. I highly recommend Plaza Pizza and wish I could order it right now in my country! When I come back to the US, that place will see me again 😊 In the meantime I keep enjoying the photos my family sends me eating...

Decided to give them a try. We ordered our pizza at 6pm. They told us to pick it up at 720. We arrived at 715. They told us it was almost ready. I paid and they told me they would bring it out to me. 20 minutes passed and a man comes out to check on us and get our name. Another 20 minutes passed and now we are around 8pm. I walked inside to see what was going on. The lady tells me they messed it up and asked if we wanted a new pizza. I said no we will just take the messed up pizza. 5 minutes later she tells me sorry we didn’t even make your order. I said what. She said I’m really sorry we didn’t even make your order. She said we can remake it at no charge but it will be another hour or so. I was absolutely shocked and disappointed with my first experience here. I’ve heard great things but I can’t even imagine how im told 3 times it’s almost done then told they never even made it. Very disappointed. Pizza Hut got it right the first time we called...

Between April 2025 and pizzas I ordered a couple of nights ago, huge change... Not for the better... Hope they see this and go back to old sauce and cheese products... New sauce thicker, different taste, cheese obviously different. Pizzas in April I would rate 95% like old style they've had going back decades! Wonderful! This new version maybe 70%... Crust is still noteworthy, but the rest is now mediocre.... Will try again next time I'm in town, hoping for the best .. Love the girls who run the place and cook, they are awesome! ** Received quick response from owner in minutes, stating nothing changed... Appreciate knowing this was hopefully simply an uncharacteristic bake.. It can happen anywhere... Definitely coming back, and hope to leave the five Star review I should have left so many times before. They really are generally awesome, striving to serve the perfect pizza of our memories. Thanks for...
