Toledo’s pizza roots run deep, with Italian-American traditions, hearty Midwest family favorites, and innovative newcomers.
Here are Toledo’s five best for 2025:
1. Gino’s Pizza
In business since 1955, Gino’s is a Toledo legend for caramelized cheese-edged pies, a sweet signature sauce, and generous toppings. “Gino’s Deluxe” is classic, but locals swear by the white pizza too.
With warm, comfortable booths and friendly staff, this is the taste that generations of Toledoans grew up on.
2. Jo-Jo’s Original Pizzeria
Famous for crispy, rectangular “Jo-Jo Bread” and trays of Sicilian-style pizza, Jo-Jo’s also excels at thin and traditional pies.
The “Works” (everything) and “BLT Pizza” are regulars’ favorites. The family atmosphere and crisp salads keep everyone happy.
3. Vito’s Pizza and Subs
A versatile neighborhood staple, Vito’s offers delicious classic round pizzas, loaded specialty pies, and cheesy, over-the-top subs.
Try the “Vito’s Special” (sausage, pepperoni, mushroom, onion, green peppers). Speedy delivery and value deals make it a top pick for any pizza night.
4. Home Slice Pizza
For NY-style pizza by the slice, Home Slice wins for airy, foldable crust, big cheese pulls, and creative toppings.
Their garlic knots and loaded “Home Slice Supreme” make this one a college and downtown favorite, especially after hours.
A cool, casual atmosphere and late-night service bring a steady crowd.
5. Mama Mary’s Pizza
Proudly serving the south side since 1982, Mama Mary’s dishes up hearty Detroit-style squares, crunchy pan pizzas, and classic round pies.
The “BBQ Chicken,” “Taco Pizza,” and loaded “Super Deluxe” stand out, and their cheesy breadsticks are a must.
Family owned, budget-friendly, and always welcoming.
