    I really really like this pizza. I had to check it out because of Portnoy's review. I would give it a rookie score of a 10/10. Perfect crisp on the dough yet still chewy. A very light and approachable pizza, I could've easily dominated the whole thing if I didn't have to share it. Yet it still had the delicious, savory greasy cheese and pepperoni toppings to satisfy your primitive needs. It was nice to talk to the owner and her new Worker (that I think was her daughter). Tiny little space but we did eat inside on the ledge. But this is definitely a takeout spot. I have thought about this pizza every day for several days now.

    Oh Yeah!!!

    Update: Decided that it was a pizza type day. I stopped in at Artisan Pizza Cafe. They are located at 91 E. 5th Ave. Jasmin was working today, she is the owner. I ordered a pepperoni/mushroom/hot honey pizza. She makes the dough herself, fresh for each day. While she was preparing my pizza, she said that she will soon be offering Gelato's. I knew she had bought the machine for it and recently had some people come in from Italy to teach her how to prepare it. Can't wait for that. Back to the pizza. It finally was done. I got home and it was TIME!!! The pizza had a nice crispy crust with dark leopard spots on it. The sauce was a really nice fresh tomato flavor. She uses a blend of cheeses on it. It had the perfect amount of flavorful pepperoni on it. She also sautéed the mushrooms at the beginning of each day. Everything is cooked perfectly and makes for a phenomenal tasting pie. It's an amazing experience. The pie and talking with Jasmin, it doesn't get any better. And to put a punctuation on the experience, she even asked how another small shop that I have been to was doing. Bobby Jo's Pizza, another small pizza shop located on High Street.

    My first time dining here and likely my last. I have been searching for a great Napoli style pizza place in Columbus. Someone mentioned this new spot just around the corner for me so I knew I had to give it a try. They have a nice selection of coffee, pizza and milk tea. While the dining room is small with a couple of stools, there is always sidewalk dining. Unfortunately, this is where everything goes really sour. I called to order a pizza and I was told they don't take orders over the phone. She told me to come in and that it wouldn't take long at all to cook. Although, I found this odd, I popped in the car. I got to the counter to order and she said the dough would not be ready for another 20 minutes. Disappointed, I offered her some honest feedback that it would have been nice if she would have communicated that before I made the drive. But being excited to try the pizza, I'd wait. She offered me a coffee while I waited. I didn't accept the coffee because I wasn't wanting something for free. She then began to have like an emotional breakdown and apologize. I explained I wasn't upset and that I accept her apology. I explained it was just honest feedback because I'd like her to succeed. I just wanted her to understand my experience from a customers perspective and that I was excited to try her pizzas. But she continued to spiral and said she didn't want my business. I was shocked at her emotional overreaction. Nothing I said seemed to help. I kept reassuring her that my feedback was simply to help her because my experience so far had been really frustrating. I know it can be hard opening a new business. Based on this experience today and her overreaction, I couldn't see this business lasting very long in the location they are at. There isn't ample parking for people to wait for pizza. I left here without any pizza and with a horrible taste in my mouth. What's disappointing to me is, she could have graciously accepted the honest feedback and used it to get better, rather she chose to overreact and lash out at a customer, thus alienating a customer who had the potential of being her biggest fan. I was trying so hard to do business with her, yet she chose to escalate the negative experience and make matters worse. Businesses need to know, not everyone who offers feedback wants to simply complain. Sometimes, we want them to succeed.

    Someone is trying to sabotage this place. Shame on them whoever reported this place closed. It is open. This is my second time here in 1 week. The pizza is amazing. I also get the Taro Milk Tea which is equally amazing.

    Referred here from Step Out Columbus - and it delivered. This place is in the running for best pizza in Columbus easily. It exists as a one-woman operation currently, but every single thing on the menu outside of a few desserts are completely hand-made in house with no steps skipped in terms of preparation or ingredients. I ordered the cheese pizza and a slice of brownie cream cheese cake. Both were excellent but the pizza was just fantastic. Firm crust, great sauce balance and cheese, and it looks as good as it tastes. Only been open a month, so after talking with the owner, I think it's only going to get better. She's amazing in her own right, but I couldn't be more impressed. Saved four slices to take home (shown in photos) and they were even crispier and just as good as fresh out of the oven. Definitely a must try for anyone who wants the perfect balance of Neapolitan and NYC-style pizza.

    Store front showing opening soon.

    No they do not have a buffet. They actually have a very limited menu.

We…read morespent over $80 on a to-go order that included two Gina's Gem, a big cheese pizza, and a salad. The pizza arrived cold but was still edible. Unfortunately, the Gina's Gem was nothing like what was advertised. I was expecting warm, crusty bread with a roasted cheese dip on the side so you could tear pieces of bread and dip them into the cheese. Instead, the cheese had already been spread directly onto the bread and toasted together. Because of that, the bread lost the texture you would expect--it wasn't crusty or dippable at all. It ended up soft, almost soggy, and the cheese was baked onto the bread rather than being a dip. The whole appeal of the dish was supposed to be the warm bread with the roasted cheese to dip into, and that part was completely missing. Included with the bread was a hot honey that missed the mark on being "hot" and some kind of jam. These options just made everything even more soft....which should have been impossible. The salad was actually the best part of the meal - even though it was a bit spicy. I've always had good experiences here in the past, so this was a big letdown--especially for the price. I just wish the to-go version of the dish matched how it's described, or that expectations were set correctly when ordering. Unfortunately, this experience made me lose all trust in ordering from here again. I can't believe we waited until exactly 3pm (when they opened) to order this.... At the very least the pizza should have been hot.

The food does take some time, so be ready to wait and maybe grab a drink while you hang out. The pizza was really good, but definitely on the heavier side. Wings were decent.

    You ever walk into a place and think, there's no way something special is hiding in here?…read more Yeah....That was me. An old tavern in Columbus. Dim. Historic. The kind of spot where you expect a solid beer and maybe some decent bar food. What you don't expect? One of the best Detroit-style pizzas of your life hiding behind a window in the back like some carb-based speakeasy. And when I say hidden, I mean hidden. No flashy signage. No "best pizza in town" ego. Just a quiet little window cranking out square pies that deserve a standing ovation. I ordered the classic red top -- already a bold move -- and added pesto because balance matters and I like to live a little. The result? Beyond reproach. Fresh, loaded toppings. Sauce with depth. And that crust... that beautiful Detroit crust. Crispy edges with that caramelized cheese halo, but still chewy and pillowy inside. The textural contrast is what separates amateurs from legends -- and this? This was legend-level execution. Easily top 3 Detroit-style pizzas I've had. And that's not a casual statement. If you don't understand the life-altering power of true Detroit-style pizza, I regret to inform you... you have not been living. Go find the window in the back. Trust me.
