I tried the Italian subs and they were AMAZING, like I was very hungry and this hit the spot. Not too far from home either, it's a win-win situation, and they even have their own seating and drinks in the fridges. Pretty much a gas station and a restaurant mixed! Pretty much anything you can think of (food wise) is there. read more

Been wanting to try CM's pizza for some time...finally remembered while out running errands tonight. Originally planned to takeout but found that CM has a dining area with about ten tables so we ate in. Pie was ready when we arrived (told 25 mins, arrived 5 early). Soft crust, sweet sauce and plenty of cheese (even on the side without extra cheese) and flavorful pepperonis that curled up and were crunchy on the edge. Server attentive and dining area clean with several tv's. And being part of a market, a wider range of drinks to choose from. And no bate anywhere near the pie or dining area! read more

Always reliable and good, our wait was pretty long for 1 pizza while eating in, about 40 mins in mid afternoon.

I have a few friends that live over this way and it's been great to stop in for food or a quick snack. Their pizza is amazing! Staff are always super friendly as well, But if you are looking for good pizza in Galena, check it out! read more

Waited 35 minutes on a Saturday night for them to tell me they couldn't find my order and I can wait another 20 minutes for it... horrible experience read more

We have a dog show coming up at Delaware Cty Fairgrounds... came up a week early to preview some local restaurants. Were told this is the better pizza.... ... had I not gotten SO many referrals to here I might have tried somewhere else today but I really was curious. We had been here months ago but didn't order a pizza. I felt today was the day. Inside you enter into a convenient store. Half of that is a tackle/bait shop. In the back is a door and through there is a proper pizza parlor. Tables and everything. (Not what one would expect from the exterior.) The convenient store sells pizza by the slice. We go to buy the slice. We tell the cashier its our first time. She says. Oooh buy a pie it will be better these have spun around for a while (in their heating element tower). We order a large pep. She tells us 20 min. The wait begins... As we sit in our car we watch the steady stream of people coming in and leaving with two, three boxes of pizza or single slices. Okay, the point is: everyone leaves with pizza. Okay.... There is something to the recommendations. I mean its mid day. Not dinner. Not lunch Non stop customers. Pizza is done in 20 min... just as promised Lots of pepperoni is on it. It was not too big. Not too small. Not too greasy. Not too thin. Not too thick. Not too much pep. Not too little. Same with sauce, garlic, cheese. It was just right. Have I had fancier pizza... yes. But this pizza is just OG and just plain good. We will be back. Try them! read more

I feel like this place is a good staple to have close by. I do think their prices are higher than I would want them to be, but the food is pretty hood. They had a gluten free option for my out of town family so that was nice too. read more

When we got there was only one customer, we sat down and I noticed how old the interior was- old tables, metal chairs and its small. Usually those places have the best food, so I was ready! They have keno and we ordered a few beers and played. They have some nice vintage beer signs and cool atmosphere for a little place. We ordered double Italian, chicken tenders and medium pizza. Then .. out of nowhere came the crowds! My gosh so many people with ONE waitress. She was working so hard I didn't want to ask her for another drink! My tenders were kinda yuck to me. I hated the presentation and the sauce came in a small plastic cup that I poured on them. The blue cheese was salad dressing in a plastic pour bag- just ok at best . The double Italian on the other hand was amazing ! Fresh sub bun , tons of meat! Fresh toppings! It was delicious :) the pizza was good, and the onions on top We're sliced thin just like I like them to be! Would visit this little place again for sure ! read more

Brother and I decided to go have the pizza buffet at the Cheshire Market today. It's unassuming pizza place in the back of a combination convenience store and bait shop. They have a lengthy cold table with everything you need for a great salad and more. The ranch dressing was delicious. On to the real deal, the pizza. They put around 4 pizzas out at a time. Lots of variety while we were there. I had a pepperoni/mushroom/onion first. This was on a pizza dough that was perfectly cooked. Not crispy but still had structure to it. The sauce had a smooth taste to it. Not real spicy. The cheese was nice and creamy which was cooked to have the slightest browning to it. It was perfect. Also tried a pepperoni/onion slice and a plain cheese. Also a pepperoni/mushroom/onion slice. Several other. The waitress that was taking orders, running the bar and clearing tables was rocking it. They had 3 people running the kitchen in back. Very little wait time between changing out pizzas. Overall it was a great experience. For sure I will return. A hidden gem on the corner of Africa Rd/Cheshire Rd. Don't miss on this place. read more

A friend of mine swears by this market (he is an avid fisherman) and said I must try the pizza. Yeah, I admit I was like pizza from a bait shop. WELL I WAS WRONG. Stopped in on way back from Delaware and glad I did. They have everything you would need for a day trip and probably one of the top 5 pizzas you will find in CBus. Got a large pepperoni to go. So hot, fesh, and good. Great flavor with the right amount of cheese, sauce, and pepperoni. I hear that next time I need to get the "mixed" sauce. They also offer other great food items for dining in the dining room or to grab and go to fill your cooler. Service was very good and everyone was very pleasant. Even the patrons were supper pleasant. I will definitely be back for pizza and literally anything else I would need for a road trip. read more

My sister loves this place and so we came one evening. We ordered the boneless wings, a small cheese pizza, and potato skins. The pizza was great, we both loved it. The potato skins were good too, the wings however, neither of us liked them. I've since come back for the pizza and it's been great both times. Will come back again! read more

Who knew that when I walked into Cheshire Market for some nightcrawlers, I'd be walking out with a pizza? Yes, you read that right--a bait shop that sells pizza and subs. It's like the mullet of establishments: business in the front, party in the back. The Pizza: Let's dive into the pizza experience. The crust, well, was soft like a lazy cat on a sunny windowsill. I usually like my crust with a bit of crunch, but this one had the texture of a well-loved pillow. If you're into that kind of thing, you're in for a treat. The Toppings: But oh boy, the toppings were a game-changer! The pepperoni, sausage, and cheese felt like they were compensating for the crispy crust I normally enjoy. Each bite was a delightful explosion of flavors, almost making me forget about the crust's resemblance to my grandma's sofa cushions. I hope they never confuse the two businesses unless it is a fear-factor challenge. Ambiance: As for the ambiance, where else can you order a pizza while debating the merits of different fishing lures with old-timers? The thought of fresh bait mingling with the aroma of melted cheese is an experience I never knew I needed (just kidding). It's like a culinary adventure and a fishing trip all rolled into one. Subs: I also grabbed a meatball sub, and let me tell you, it was like catching a trophy fish--massive and satisfying. Packed with enough meatballs to sink a small boat, it was the perfect sidekick to my unexpectedly soft but delicious pizza. Would I go back? Absolutely. Where else can you reel in a guppie and a pepperoni sausage pizza with a meatball sub on the same trip? read more

Cheshire Market is an iconic staple along Alum Creek. It's like a combination rustic, country convenience store mixed with a pizza joint and bar. CM does it all! Selling bait and boating/camping necessities on one side, it also 'makes some pretty darn tasty pizza, strombolis and toasty sub sandwiches. Prices are reasonable, there's a small sitting area and a tiny bar with TV turned to Buckeye games in season. If you've never dreamed of ordering pizza from a bait shop, you're not alone. But setting those creepy feelings aside, you have to appreciate this place. You can choose from mild, spicy or mixed sauce in your pizza - we liked mixed. Toppings are plentiful and crust is somewhere between thick and thin. I took off one star for the nightcrawlers, haha! Otherwise, this place is perfection. read more

Delicious breakfast sandwiches! Highly recommend! I'm from New York and miss breakfast sandwiches. These help me while I'm living in Ohio.

Always great pizza and a friendly staff. My carry out order is always ready when I walk in. read more

AMAZING- TRY WITH SPICEY SAUCE What are you waiting for it's worth the price and the drive. Go!! read more

Hidden gem for good pizza. I was pleasantly surprised when first ordering from the local bait and tackle shop 2+ years ago and now we are regulars. A little oily but good nonetheless. read more

My family loves this place! Over the Years, ordering from here was always hit or miss, but lately it's been wonderful! We never get a bad pizza, sub, or order of wings and it's always on time! For our most recent visit, we ordered two large pizzas and a large Italien sub. The order was hot and ready the minute we walked through the door, meaning their 30 minute estimate was spot on. Everyone loved it. I highly recommend their pepperoni, as it's small, crunchy, and super flavorful! Advice if you're looking to order pizza from here: plan extra time on a Friday or Saturday night, as they are very busy these evenings. Also if your phone call does not go through at first, just keep trying. The phone line can get busy, and you just have to wait for your turn. All in all, this is a great local business for a great meal that's been servicing Galena for years! read more

Update : still amazing!! Had their breakfast sandwich today and it's been a few years since I've gotten it and it was literally the best sandwich I've had in forever. I'm currently pregnant and this hit the spot ! read more

I decided to try the pizza as many individuals rave about Cheshire Market. I ordered a Hawaiian pizza with bacon to go. The pizza was delicious. They add the right amount of toppings which is a plus. While waiting on my pizza, I ordered chicken wings, drums only. When I received my basket of wings, I wondered if these where actually chicken wings or Cornish game hen wings. They were extremely small and odd shaped. I thought the hot and spicy style sauce was amazing but the wings didn't fill my small appetite. Service was solid. My server was by herself, it seemed yet she handed the tables with ease. The atmosphere is lively. It appeared they have a buy one get one beer special as I saw many individuals with two beers in front of them. Overall, pizza is good but the wings won't fill you and I still wonder if it was chicken. read more

This is the place to get pizza the way it's supposed to be. Not your chain pizza, it's connected to a carry out where you can get your fishing license. But don't let that scare you. The pizza is ooey gooey cheesy and just right amount of grease from pepperonis. It's perfection read more

I ordered a basic pepperoni and cheese pizza and when I went to pick it up, was told that they did not receive a order! I showed them the phone call time stamp and was told no order had been placed? I will never buy from this place again. I have been going hear for years! It is clear that something has changed! read more

The pizza was excellent. We had loaded pepperoni and mushroom pizza from the pizza bar. They are heavy on toppings and keep pizza coming. I highly recommend the quick stop for pizza. The salad bar could use a couple more toppings and mixed greens for the lettuce. Regular plates would also be so nice to use. read more

Place closes at 9:00, not 10:00 like it says (at least on Sunday). Always a bad indicator when places are this sloppy in important details...and then leave it this way even when they know. read more

This is a locally owned and operated market which has been in the family for well over 50 years. It may look tiny on the outside but aside from the food and few aisles of basic groceries, their fish and bait section will have your mouth dropping. Excellent spot for campers in the area to pick up any necessities or order some food to-go or dine in. They have a small restaurant and bar attached in the back. Breakfast sandwhiches offered in the mornings with local donuts from sunbury OH along with coffee needs. Excellent prices I may add as well. Some of the highlights of the market definitely include the fish and bait section, live bait sold there as well and a large variety of fishing essentials . One of my pals is a heavy time and pro fisherman and literally was about to jump up and down with all that was available for purchase and he has driven past the market hundreds of times and never thought to ever stop in. Highlights of food- Tuesdays they have a salad buffet with spaghetti and meatballs. They do delivery on this but dining in gives you unlimited salad buffet along with a few dollars in price savings per each ordered meal. The salad buffet is quite amazing as well- their cucumber salad is the best I've had in any surrounding areas . They also offer a macaroni or pasta salad too, plenty of salad choice options with variety of meats...even if you just eat salads the salad buffet, in my opinion is top notch. (I've been to a lot of buffets as well I should add :) Thursdays they offer a unlimited salad buffet with unlimited pizza buffet . Yes you can order pizza to go and be delivered but I've had both and personally prefer to attend the buffet (I love their thin crust offered there). Pizza is unlimited as well and closes at 8pm sharp. All day long. Quaint and cute old school market with attached restaurant. Excellent for your fishing needs and grocery needs (they also have personal chocolate milk cartons that remind me of my school lunch milk back in the 90s...I usually buy them out of them when I go tho hehe. Definitely check them out. Family owned and operated and a definite highlight of alum creek and your basic camping and essential in fishing needs. read more

Is there anyplace that is more of a duality than the Cheshire market? It's a market and bait shop in the front and a small restaurant in the back. The restaurant is small and the bar is even smaller. I ended a long day here and had second dinner of Stromboli and wings. The Stromboli is all madero order by individual topping. I had a pepperoni, sausage, mushroom, onion, and green peppers boli and it was excellent. I'll be back again and again because the Cheshire market is great it is iconic in the alum creek area. read more

The pizza is one of the best around. They are co distantly busy so order ahead of time! Love this place!

We order from Cheshire Market often, as we love their pizza! Tonight we tried their wings... if that's what you want to call them.... They were the tiniest pieces I've ever seen! Tasty, we ordered the garlic parm... but DEFINITELY not worth the $14.99 price tag. Super disappointed and we had two orders of them. read more

Been coming here for years to grab bait and snacks when fishing, but tried a dinner here for the first time. Boyfriend and I ordered a medium with pepperoni, mushrooms, onions and banana peppers. The crust seemed thicker than a thin crust. We asked for it to be well done and was pretty good. Then we shared a whole Italian Sub. The meats and goodies inside were really good however the bread was not even toasted. Next time we will ask if they can bake the whole thing. The beer was cold and the patio was nice to relax with friends. read more

Ordered a pizza and was not disappointed. The inside of the place did not look like what I expected. The food though was great.

Old, dirty, and sketchy, but fantastic. We live locally and get pizza for takeout all the time. It has quickly become one of our favorite pizza joints! Pepperoni cups and traps all the yumminess, crust is flaky and well baked, sauce is sweet and not overpowering. Don't judge a book by its cover, if you do, you wont even get through the front door. read more

Don't judge a book by its cover. This place has pizza that will keep you coming back. Friendly (normally) staff that busts their butts on busy summer weekends with a steady stream of impatient lake goers wanting to get on their way in a hurry. Nothing gourmet or fancy about this place at all. Just a very nice conveniently located spot to grab what you need . Secret gem is the donuts in the case across from the cashier. Get there early as they go quick. read more

Pizza was good, not too pricey and perfect dinner when camping! Ordered at 5pm on a Friday night, 2 lrg pizzas and took about 1 hr to pick up! Plan accordingly! Generous portions on pep and sausage pizza! Couldn't really taste the spice in the spicy sauce but it was a really good pizza! read more

We drove about an hour to try the pizza because so many people raved about it. We were disappointed. Best way to describe it... it felt safe. Nothing robust or flavorful. Garlic bread not garlicky enough, bland sauce, crust that was too soft. Pepperoni was crisp and plentiful but didn't pack a punch. The food was middle of the road (2.5) but got bumped up to 3 because it is an interesting store. read more

Just north of the hustle and bustle of Columbus Ohio and it's ever expanding suburban ring, is a small community on the edge of a reservoir called Alum Creek. This community has a secret. Hidden within the walls of the bait and tackle shop and local convenience store is a place where the love of pizza isn't a secret. My brother shared the Cheshire Market secret with me in a recent visit to Columbus and to this day I wonder how many other secrets he's kept from me all these years. What a wonderful evening spent eating fantastic pizza and drinking icy cold adult beverages. In a dining room that's reflective of the community, with walls covered with local high school football memorabilia, one TV for the latest in news and sports- filled with small tables for family conversations and a bar where friends can gather to cheer on the Buckeyes, we enjoyed a hot, well sauced pepperoni, mushroom and olive pizza. We chose the mild sauce but they have three to choose from. Not disappointed with our choice AT ALL! The eating experience was so good I forgot to take pictures of what we ate!!! Great place to meet friends, eat pizza, grab some bait and a box of cat litter for your feline friend at home or extra traction on that snowy road! One stop shop and a great pie to boot! Yummo! read more

Cheshire Market - Awesome neighborhood hangout. - Grocery Near Me - Galena, Ohio

Been going to market for 40 years - about 3-4 + times per year. Lately ; 1)no price tags on beer = sorry totally unacceptable , indicates they want to overcharge by eliminating price shopping and masking shopper from seeing the higher price strategy(Der Dutchman does this). In addition , when I asked cashier how much PBR 6 pack was -- after looking at his info , he didn't know ? 2)Limited single beer selection and no ice beer. ICE is cheapest choice and perfect for a senior going fishing . 3) two Subs ordered to go - took 44 minutes while nobody in restaurant got any food (sit down,carry out, or delivery while there). 4-5 customers were there but just drinking beer . When ready = only one sub. Asked did I want to wait for my 'correct' order. Said I didn't have 45 more minutes. Said it could be ready in 5 ???? . I was not going to wait given the 45 min before . Suddenly , she's back w/2 subs = I took from another order ??? Asked why the long wait = said the 4-5 workers were doing other orders == there WERE NO OTHER ORDERS . Subs are very good but pricey -- nightcrawlers pricey too ..... read more

So, I was nice and my other half to his favorite pizza place. He was thrilled and I at least got some good chicken wings. He got the gluten-free pepperoni pizza and loaded potato skins. I got the chicken wings and a small chicken chef salad. That's right... a small salad that wasn't that small at all! Now, I had the onions taken off and didn't know kw about the chopped green peppers in the salad. Next time, nix the peppers. The wings were very good and thankfully coated, some places slack and here they don't. And while the place was busy with families this time a few couples and whomever else, the place a loud yet nice vibe going. Just wish it wasn't raining, I would like to eat outside once here. read more
