Sandra E.

We went to Kings island for the Winter Wonderland event. My fiancée was craving pizza and I was looking for nearby locations in the area. This came up and had great reviews on Yelp. They had me at wood fired pizza! You know I'm going! This was a late dinner so their dinner rush thinned out. The inside is very inviting, spacious and cozy. Menu was very impressive. Wood fired pizza (which you can choose traditional, gluten free or cauliflower crust), appetizers, wings, soup of the day, pasta, salads, sides, sandwiches, burgers, tacos, wraps, and seafood. Drink menu is also good. Bourbons, beers on tap, wine and specialty cocktails. We ordered: Drinks: -Cincy light on draft -House Red (red blend) Dinner: Wood fired Pizza -Margherita Pizza -Pepperoni Pizza We didn't wait long for our meal. It was delicious! I loved my pizza paired with my wine. My fiancée also enjoyed his dinner. I got another glass of wine and watched some football. Ryan was our server. Very friendly and attentive. It was a great experience. I can see us coming back. Great food and drinks! All reasonable in pricing.

Menu

This place was good! Service was quick and efficient. Paid $32 for cheese curds, a beer, a pizza, and a side Caesar. Thought that was a great deal. Food was great and the vibe in there was nice. We got there at 5ish on a Friday and it started to fill up fast! would reccomend!

Bruschetta

Mason from Mason took care of us and did great! Food was awesome, especially my wife's fish and chips. I ordered the carnivore pizza and bruschetta as an appetizer. My kids split an order of wings and fries and devoured them all. Great place to eat

Margarita pizza and Spinach Appetizer
Kristie E.

I am going to be back to this place for sure. Every appetizer on the menu looks delicious. We tried the spinach app, and it was scrumptious. The tomatoes looked fresh. The spinach was flavorful, and the cheese was broiled to perfection crispy on top. I also had the margarita pizza, which was even delicious as next day leftovers. It was a perfect blend of cheese and sauce. It was a lunch workday so I didn't try the local beer brews, but the assortment looked interesting and local. Our service was perfect. We needed time for checking out a new menu and our server checked in the appropriate times. There is an outside patio that has heaters so even eating outside through the Fall looks to be fun. The inside was clean and neat.

Southwest Burger & fries
Jeanee F.

What was once a fabulous experience/food last time we visited, fell extremely FLAT on this visit. Service was slow, management seemed to only roll her eyes at her staff/ speak negatively and food was just average. My son's buffalo wrap was terrible and I was charged for a beer we never rec'd. I also witnessed the blonde hair manager take a bottle and throw it in anger after speaking to one of her male employees. She didn't seem to care who watched and proceeded to act fake nice as we were leaving. We WON'T b going back!

Jean K.

Great place to grab a bite. We sat at the bar and the service was great and food delicious. The boneless chicken bites were juicy and full of flavor. I loved the garlic sauce that came with the breadsticks. Delicious. The bruschetta was perfectly toasted and packed with flavor. Will be back.

This place was okay when it came to the food. The service was fast and attentive. We where seated really fast. If you are looking for a nice place to eat this is a spot for sure

Pepperoni pizza
Josh W.

My fiancée and I had just left King's Island and suddenly wanted to find a nearby pizza place. We'd been by this place before but hadn't tried it yet so we decided to go. Perfect decision for wood-fire pizza fans like us! The atmosphere and service were certainly enjoyable too. Our server, Ryan, was very friendly and welcoming. Their food menu is pretty big and isn't limited to just pizza by any means. The drink menu is pretty big and loaded with different beers, wines, cocktails, and especially bourbons. We started with a couple libations, the house red blend wine for my fiancée, and a Rhinegeist Cincy Light for me. As for our orders, we went straight to what we came for, pizza. She ordered a margherita pizza and I kept it simple with a pepperoni pizza. We definitely didn't wait long at all before our pizzas were ready and both were delicious. The way I see it, if you can't make a good simple pepperoni pizza, you can't make a good pizza period, but they absolutely know how to make very good pizza. This spot is certainly worth a return trip.

Pretzel bites 4/10
Kate M.

Most importantly, the food was exactly what we needed. Something delicious and satisfying. We ordered the salmon tacos (super fresh, and great mango salsa), Mac & cheese (delicious), chicken bacon ranch wrap (the wood fired chicken was amazing!), chicken dumpling soup (very satisfying), two big beautiful salads and pretzel bites (only thing we found lacking, pretzels were tasteless, greasy and cheese was blan). Food was good, service was a slow start, took 15 min to get drinks ordered. But after that food was quick! Waitress was busy at lunch, but very kind. My biggest thing was that the booth we were in was very dirty, the ledge & top of booth suggests it's been a long time since it was cleaned. I really hope it was just that zone and not more of the restaurant. I didn't see until after we ate that another reviewer posted a similar cleanliness comment this week also. Still we loved the food.

I went here for lunch today while in town for a friend's wedding. We were looking to eat somewhere nearby and I saw this place on Yelp. I was really hungry so we started off with the pretzel bites, which were tasty. They come with a tangy honey mustard dipping sauce and also queso. They were $10 but apparently it was happy hour, kind of weird because it was 1:30 p.m., so we got $3 off. I got the steak sandwich and it was good but not fantastic. The fries were pretty good though. My friends got some of the pasta choices and also a burger. Overall I'd come back here but I might get a different entree.

I stopped in for a carryout pizza during Cincinnati Pizza Week. The pizza was great and the employee greeted me promptly.

Please come to this restaurant if you are in the Cincinnati area!…read more First, I wish to state that I am not from Ohio and that this is my first time eating at Two Cities, but this restaurant might be my favorite pizza shop going forward. Second, I only had two of the items on the menu but so many of the other options on the menu looked amazing as well. This Two Cities was built inside the old city hall of Mason, with Mason being a cozy little town in of itself. The restaurant smells amazing upon entering, course it would because they cook their food fresh. It's even got a little ramp that leads down to the main seating area for mobility impaired persons. My first minor issue with this Two Cities was that the booth I was sitting at was slightly raised by a literal step, which nearly made me trip while exiting the booth because I hardly noticed getting into the booth due to my height (6'3 at the time of writing review). There are other booths though that are not raised, so an opinion is to be based of where you are seated. My waitress was really kind and offered a helpful opinion when I was deciding on which pizza to get after being seated by a host. The waitress also allowed me to put in my order all at once (drink, appetizer, and entree). The appetizer (garlic parmesan fries) arrived fast and were undoubtedly scrumptious; the fries were a near perfect mix of crunchy and soft with the shredded parmesan and minced garlic adding extra flavor. Their ranch is also superb. I got the 13" Rhythm Road Pizza (which I shared with someone. I could not eat half of a deep dish pizza alone) and it was something else. Most importantly, it had MASHED POTATO on it instead of a traditional pizza sauce and notably, chipotle aioli drizzled on top (there are more toppings, of course, but they're more normal toppings). Unfortunately, the pizza slices were unevenly sliced, leading to inconsistent slice size and the toppings slide off the pizza easily when scooped up with the provided pizza spatula, all minot grievances of course. The only true complaint I had with this Two Cities was that my waitress did not actively seek out to refill my glass when it was empty. I will say that my drink was not close to the edge for her to see, but it was within view from any view of the table. There were a relatively high number of customers in the restaurant for the time I was there (about an hour before closing), so I don't hold it against her for not noticing. The cups were average size, so I wasn't exactly dying of thirst while dining. The music inside was of good taste and was at a very respectable volume. The other patrons were also well mannered and I had no need to raise my voice to speak to my dining buddy. The final thing I wish to add to this review is how nice the bathroom was. They were very clean, had two urinals (short and tall), one wheelchair accessible stall, nice smelling soap, a simple water control handle, a foot doorhandle, and MOUTHWASH. This is only public building I have ever been in that has offered complementary mouthwash, let alone a bathroom. This could be an Ohio or Midwest exclusive thing, but I enjoyed using the mouthwash nonetheless.

Stop by and follow my Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/BaldWhiteGuyReviews…read more Two Cities Pizza 202 W. Main Street, Mason, Ohio Day two of the great Ohio Collegiate travel expedition, and the Mrs. found a new pizza joint to try. We fired up the GPS and headed south to Mason, Ohio. Now, when I think of Mason, I usually think of big fancy houses, snooty HOAs, and Kings Island. But driving in? It totally gave me Washington C.H. vibes. Nice ranch-style homes, some with the neighbor's car chilling on blocks in the yard. Honestly? It was refreshing. Looks like they have all classes of people coexisting. It was comfortable, zero pretentiousness, and normal. Passed the vibe check, no cap. Let's talk about Two Cities Pizza Co. The concept is genius: Two friends wanted to spark the great pizza debate (New York Style vs. Chicago Deep Dish) under one roof. Why fight when you can just eat both? A true bipartisan solution this country desperately needs. The Vibe: They took over the Historic City Hall building downtown and it's incredible. Tons of character. They have plenty of outdoor seating--you know, for the psychopaths who enjoy eating outside during the 7 minutes in Ohio when it's not 100 degrees with 200% humidity or 32 below zero. But hey, if sweating in your pepperoni is your thing, it's there. Inside, the decor is on point, with air conditioning. They've got a wall that looks like the Wrigley Field ivy, subway-themed restrooms complete with the overhead transit handles (DO NOT TOUCH THE HANDLES ), and even fake pigeons up in the rafters. It's definitely giving main character energy. Great tunes playing too--Billy Joel, Chicago. Huge booths. Friendly staff. Shout out to Ivy. The Menu & The Grub: Cold beer and pizza. Name a better duo. I'll wait. They have everything: wings, calzones, and NY specialty pizzas with... mashed potatoes? Wait, what? They also offer cauliflower crust and non-dairy cheese for our friends who can't handle lactose. Here's what we shoveled down: Bootleg Bread: Basic cheesy bread but baked with garlic and herbs. The crust was great, and the cheese was thick and substantial. Very good! Perfect seasoning. NY Style Pepperoni: Delicious, exactly what you expect. A reliable classic. #Boring Bull and Bear Calzone: Stuffed with pepperoni, bacon, mozzarella, parm, and garlic. The crust was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Spot on. BUT here's the controversy... It came with their self-proclaimed "Famous Ranch Dressing." Look, I know people will fight literal wars over ranch in the Midwest, but I wasn't a fan. It had a strong Worcestershire vibe to it. A little too aggressive for my taste. Good for some, not for me. (The chunky "red sauce" was absolutely awesome, though!) The Plot Twist: A very nice surprise--they brought us a totally FREE order of New York Funnel Cake Donuts. Didn't ask, didn't pay. Maybe because it was our first visit? Or maybe they just respect the bald head. Either way, fried, tossed in cinnamon and powdered sugar, they tasted exactly like the county fair. Absolutely bussin'. Ask for them by name! The BaldWhiteGuy Rating: ‍‍‍‍: 4 out of 5 Bald Heads. Lost one head because I was severely disappointed in the "Famous Ranch". But heck if you like it, you can purchase a bottle. I will be making another trip to try out the Chicago Style Pizza. If you're near Kings Island, it's worth a stop. Great prices, great food. Tell them the Bald Guy sent you!

Il Gusto is not only one of THE best hole in the wall restaurants, it is also THE best Italian…read morewe've had in the area! Though spartan, the classic vibes and service are very welcoming! We had better service here than most "normal" sit down restaurants. And the food...not one item we have tried was bad, the vast majority have been the best in their category. Best mozzarella sticks: it's obvious it's a higher quality mozz than whatever everyone else uses. Crispy perfection! Best GF/cauliflower pizza: lots of toppings to choose from (though somehow chicken isn't an option on DD) and again, from the mushrooms to the sauce, you can taste the difference. They make the sauces in house! According to my husband, best Chicken Parm he has had since moving here! You get a healthy portion. And...best cannoli in the area! Growing up in a predominantly Italian and Polish area, I have been lucky to have REALLY good Italian pastries...and their cannoli was reminiscent of those times. This has been the ONLY cannoli in the greater Cincy area that is worth consuming, IMO. All in all, we would dine in at Il Gusto constantly, if we lived closer. Glad they're on DoorDash though! If you are in the Kenwood area, and want a break from the chaos and crowds, Il Gusto is close by!

For such an unknown pizza place I have to say I was kinda blown away at how good and classic…read moreItalian style this pizza was. I'm normally just a cheese pizza guy but I will be back to try more specialty pies.
