If this was just a review of the food, it would be a 5 star review. Alas, there are some aspects of Dewey's that keep it from being a perfect dining experience. But first, the food. Dewey's is easily one of my top 2 favorite pizza joints in Cincinnati (the other being Two Cities out in Mason). The pizza is delicious as are the salads. We have our favorites which include (for salads) the Greek and the harvest and (for pizza) the Dr. Dre, the Bronx Bomber, the Green Lantern, the Socrates Revenge, and the Killer Veggie. It's all delicious and made with fresh ingredients. Can't recommend the food enough. However, the dining in experience isn't the greatest. First, they don't assign a waiter to each table, rather all the waiters serve all the tables. This can lead to service being intrusive at times and under attentive at others. Additionally, we've seemed to have issues with our order every now and then. They typically do a good job of making up for it, but I'd prefer they fix the issues so they don't keep happening. It's also always crazy busy inside. Not really the fault of the restaurant, but a reality nonetheless. Make sure you get on the list before coming in or you will likely end up waiting for a while. All that said, we love this place and highly recommend it. read more

It's definitely not what I expected but it's was really Good I get a all cheese pizza and I couldn't stop eating it if u every get Change go ahead and give it a try u may just like it read more

Best pizza and calzones on the west side... love the Don Corleone!! Love the pizza crust and salads & the ranch dressing is the best. I 100% recommended Dewey's. read more

Porky fig is the best pizza. *drops mic* No but seriously, all their pizzas are great. A little pricy but I have never ever had a bad pie from this place. The customer service ranges from, at worse, slightly ADHD (it's ok to leave us alone for more than 2 minutes at a time, promise!) to freaking fantastic. If you want a great pizza and enjoy it in a place with great atmosphere, this is the place for you. read more

Great food and service. Ordered online and food was ready when I arrived. Highly recommend Dewey's.

I love Dewey's and regret that this wasn't here when I lived on the west side. This location is a good one and I hope it continues to do well. Their salads are great, I always go for the seasonal but I've got people who swear by the peppercorn ranch. The pizzas are all good, I've had almost everything on the menu multiple times and have never had a bad experience. In fact, this location messed up my customization one time and they apologized a lot and gave it to me free plus they made me a whole other pizza that was to my specification and put it in a take-home box for me. Really impressive service! The only problem with it is that it is very small and gets over-capacity very quickly. The parking lot is also a bit small for it and there aren't really other options for parking. I don't fault Dewey's for that, but it just seems odd to develop a new commercial strip with insufficient parking. Long story short, if you can get in then this is a great restaurant! read more

We love Dewey's. We celebrate all of our kids birthdays at Dewey's Pizza. The service is always excellent and the pizza and salad delicious. read more

They steal money from people here. If you pay with a credit card - please check to make sure they charged you the correct amount. I had to call multiple times until they finally gave me the money back. Not trying to be one of those people who complain, it just sucks when people do that stuff and get away with it. read more

We decided to try this newer location of Dewey's for a change. It was pretty crowded for a Thursday night. We had a 20-30 minute wait when we arrived there around 6, 6:30. They have a surprisingly small dining area. Since this is a newer location, I had thought they would have invested more in providing ample seating. There's a long corridor when you first walk in and it kind of loops around to the hostess station - this is also where you exit, which is a bit of an odd layout. Once you're in the dining area, it has a modern pizzeria feel. A server came to take our drinks order, then another server almost took our order but we weren't quite ready yet, so another server stopped by a couple minutes later with a trainee in tow to actually take our order. We were a little confused with all the server hopping, but overall, it made for very attentive service. Our first server did a really good job of explaining how things worked, like the specials and the half-and-half pizzas (you can do this with any pizza). One of the drawbacks of Dewey's is that they don't actually have appetizers. Besides pizza, they also have salads, calzones, and dessert. I guess they're just focusing on what they do best! We ultimately went with a small Killer Veggie, which features Red Sauce, Mozzarella Cheese, Mushrooms, Onions, Black Olives, Green Peppers, with Fresh Tomatoes and Parsley after the bake ($14.95). We also had a small half Edgar Allen Poe, which has Olive Oil, Mozzarella-Fontina Blend, Mushrooms, Roasted Garlic, Kalamata Olives and Goat Cheese, with Fresh Tomatoes and Parsley after the bake and half Create Your Own with Cheese and Mushrooms ($15.95). Our original waiter brought out our food. :P Overall, our food was tasty. I probably preferred pie #2 the best and regretted getting an entire veggie pizza. I generally like my pizza cheesy and unhealthy. :P They do not skimp on the toppings, let me tell you, so be sure you like what are ordering on your pizza. Oh, and there were huge hunks of garlic on the Poe pizza that were a little intimidating at first but once roasted, it completely transforms the garlic flavor. The cheese covering is adequate - not too much, not too little. Everything is very fresh, and the crust isn't half-bad. Another employee brought our check, but we were rung up incorrectly. We had come in with a $25 Gift Certificate, but he had inadvertently discounted it by $15.00 instead. Once, we pointed this out, he was apologetic and immediately corrected it. VERDICT: Dewey's offers some good pizza, but for some reason, it is generally not top of mind for me when I think of getting pizza. Not gonna lie, I almost think of it as healthy pizza. I know that is totally unfair. It is good pizza with fresh ingredients and it's very flavorful. They are a bit on the pricey side. A small specialty pizza will you run you around $15.00. For comparison, a Medium Build-Your-Own is $13.45 + $1.75 per regular topping/$2.00 per gourmet topping, while at Adriatico's it was $11.49 + $1.50 per topping. It's a couple dollar difference, so not a HUGE deal. But you know what - I don't get a stomachache after eating Dewey's because their pizza isn't anywhere near as greasy, so I guess that could be worth a couple bucks. :P Overall, I'd say Dewey's is good if you're feeling a lighter, fresh and flavorful pizza option. The husband ranks it 8/10. read more

Loved the pizza and the pick-up service was great! My son was not a huge fan of the cheese but everyone else really enjoyed our pizza. I will be back and looking forward to being able to eat at the restaurant versus just carry-out. read more

This place gets crowded so try to go on an off mealtime if you can. The entryway is narrow and there's not a lot of room to sit and wait, which is a pain. But you can watch the pizza be made, which is always good to keep kids entertained. The service is interesting because you're basically waited on by everyone working at the time, so usually there aren't long waits. The specialty pizzas are interesting and seasonal, and the regular pizzas are tasty. I'm a big fan of how they do their crusts. Also, highly recommend the salads. read more

Never too "pizza'd out" for Dewey's! Great service and food.

Pizza was great as always the service here is the best.. Great beer selection. My wife and I love this place! We come here each month for feature pizza Cuban pizza this month phenomenal!!! read more

So frustrated. Waited 2 hours for 2 small pizzas and a salad. Was told when I ordered it would be 60-70 minutes because of the pandemic. Waited 15 minutes in the parking lot, did not receive the extra salad dressing we requested, and the pizza was cold. All for $36. I realize things are crazy, however, it's pizza and salad. So disappointed. read more

While I have had Dewey's Pizza to go, tonight was the first time we have eaten their pizza in restaurant. We arrived on a weekday evening to no wait. Toppings were applied liberally. I was actually excited to see the generous amount of vegetables covering the pizza. The bottom of the pizza had a slight crunch, with a nice chewy crust. The Edgar Allen Poe & Socrates' Revenge are similar pizzas. Both were good, but we prefer Socrates' a bit more. I'm not usually a fan of green olives, but they worked well on the Socrates. That being said, the whole cloves of roasted garlic on the Edgar Allen Poe were soft, sweet, and delicious. Buffalo chicken pizza was a hit at our table too. Even my eldest, who doesn't like spicy food asked for seconds of it. It tasted exactly as the description described. We also ordered a Greek salad. (Not pictured.) It has been a while since I have tasted lettuce so fresh at a restaurant. A vibrant red color, and slightly sweet, Dewey's Greek dressing is different than that commonly found. I recommend ordering the dressing on the side. Add a little dressing to the salad, and save the rest to dip pizza crust in. Service was attentive. Service was friendly. All the servers at the restaurant seemed to be working as a team. At about 80% compacity, they didn't seem to be pushing us out the door. While to carry out pizza is good, I highly recommend enjoying it in restaurant. read more

Meatballs are not so good. Salads A+.calzones A+. Service A+. Would I recommend it to friends? Yes

For the product you receive this is the most aggressively overpriced restaurant I've ever been to. Their ingredients are mostly in pre portioned bags that are just pored into a pan. Most of the vegetables are in poor shape as you have to pull throw all the rotting ones and pick out the few good ones. Kitchen is also infested with fruit flies for the entire summer season. It cost them roughly $5 in cost to make a large cheese pizza and it's on the menu for over $15. $10 mark up on a cheese pizza is absolutely ridiculous not to mention the side salads are $7. This company is a poorly run scam trust me and do to literally any other pizza place you can find read more

Pizza was good. Had gluten-free and it was delicious. However, we were asked 5 times in less than ten minutes if we wanted another drink. We got the feeling no one was interested in us enjoying our time and just wanted us to leave. read more

Dewey's has good pizza, but I had such a poor experience here! I coach for Oak Hills HS and wanted to take my girls there for a team dinner. Called at 3 to let them know of our party of 15 that would be coming in at 5:45 and called again at 5:20 to let them know we would be over in 15-20 minutes. They said they don't take reservations, but when I called at 5:20 they said there was not a wait at the time so I hurried over and was there at 5:35. At that point they seemed to have no idea I was coming and it was a 60-70 minute wait for us. I was really disappointed they couldn't work with us at all especially considering that our district just did a fundraiser with them last month. I would have just planned to go somewhere else if they had just said it wouldn't work. Would still go to a different location because I do like them. But was not happy with this location handling of our group. read more

Best pizza in Cincinnati, bar none! Fresh ingredients, perfect crust! The staff is friendly and helpful.

Super friendly, super helpful, SUPER tasty!! The classic red sauce and cheese were so good!

Food is amazing and service is excellent. I always recommend this pizza spot. Love Ryan inferno

Wonderful Gluten Free crust and good beer selection!! Friendly staff - always attentive. Calzones are amazing!! The kids can watch them toss pizzas in the kitchen. read more

Very overrated pizza. I've eaten here maybe 4 times and I'm yet to taste that wow factor that some people talk about. Nothing about these pizzas make me feel as if I tried someone new or become a regular worthy. I've tried about 4 of their signature pizzas and maybe 2-3 basic build your own.. I guess since Cincinnati is pretty limited when it comes to truly GOOD quality pizza that to some people this is a step up from your normal takeout of the hometown LaRosas.. to each there own.. but you aren't going to find that true American pizza taste at Dewey's. read more

Met here with friends. Had a longer wait for 4:30PM on a weekday and found that the place had very little seating. Need to expand especially in the area. read more

They tried they are very busy doing a good take out business . We had a very nice young lady wait on us and she did her best We were disappointed that they no longer have their Greek Salad it was so good I would get that and nothing else But ordered our favorite pizza . The Bronx Bomber. It came out looking delicious unfortunately the crust was raw and gummy under the toppings . The immediately. Took it back and put it back through but it came back out still gummy. They remade the pizza and we took it to go they do the right thing to take care of their customers read more

Love this restaurant and their wonderful food, I wish it was closer to me and there were more locations but beggars cannot be choosers. The management and staff is very friendly and you can always expect your food to be served fresh and hot! I do wish they had more options in the menu but it's all good read more

This was my second visit to Dewey's. I must say that besides having great pizza, their wait staff is amazing! Their smiles warrant an extra star. I had the porky fig pizza and also Dr Dre. My favorite was the porky fig. Worth every penny. I sat in the small bar area and was well taken care of. Will definitely visit again. read more

Great pizza and beer selection, as always. There isn't much to add about the food, except maybe live on the edge and try the monthly special. 2 other comments. Download the app if you are waitlisted. It keeps you informed about where you are in line. You can use it at other restaurants to get on the list before you ever leave home. Also, this restaurant provides team service. So, don't be surprised if one person takes your drink order, another takes your food order, someone else stops by to ask if you need anything, and any one of those three tops off your Coke. It can be confusing at first, but it's nice if you know what's going on, because any time you need something you can just grab someone and you don't have to feel like you need to wait for your specific waiter or waitress. read more

We. Love. Deweys. It is a stop we try to make every time we are in the area. Make sure you check what their seasonal options are, if your waiter doesn't already inform you. The salads are tasty and hearty. I really enjoyed the harvest salad (I think it's the seasonal right now). They have calzones but I always get pizza. The crust is so good. WARNING: it will make it hard to eat any other pizza again. I love their marinara and white sauce. The white sauce is like a balsamic garlic glaze. Service is good, local craft beer is available, this is definitely a great stop for a quick lunch or to sit and stay with a group of friends! read more

As far as pizza chains go, this one tries its best to not be a chain. They offer a large list of unique pies that could probably fit most people's taste. They offer a wide variety of beer options as well. read more

First time trying this pizza today. The pizza was amazing and the customer service made the pizza taste even better!! 5 stars across the board. read more

Interesting flavor combos. Always a fan of whatever is seasonal. Good crust. Wait staff seems to always be on the same page as far as energy and politeness. Little things like that go a long way. read more

This is probably the best pizza, I've ever had! Their white sauce is to die for. All of the staff is so accommodating . You never hear the servers say, "that's not my table", they all just help each other out. Wonderful customer service. We go at least once a week. read more

This experience with the Yelp App and Deweys really sucked. I put our name on The Wait At Home feature for the only Deweys that came up and got there at the appropriated time. Hostess did not have our name and made zero effort to accommodate us although I showed her the Yelp app and my text message confirmation I received! Maybe it was for another Deweys she said. Well the app doesn't give you a choice and it said 7 miles away, which is the distance from my house to this Dewrys on Harrison! Both Deweys and Yelp need to fix this feature, be wrinkling to accommodate for screw ups or quit the partnership altogether! read more

Third time at this new location - love that we have a Dewey's on the west side. Service is always fast and awesome. Pizza is fresh, innovative and delicious. I never vary from the Green Lantern - pizza perfection in every bite! Even my son, who used to be a Larosa's fan, is now addicted to Dewey's. Yes, it's busy but worth the wait. read more

Dewey's has been such a great addition to the westside. The staff is always friendly and attentive and the pizza never disappoints. The local craft beer options are also a huge plus! Dewey's is one of those places where you can always expect a consistently great experience. I look forward to my weekly visits here. (Please bring back the Tito santana full-time!!) read more

Love the pizza and the salad. Just wish they had a larger entry and a separate exit.

What can I say... Dewey's has a great business model and is able to duplicate it well. The service and food were excellent as expected. (See my other Dewey's review for details.) One new thing that I love -- No wait app! It is awesome to arrive at a busy restaurant and have a table waiting for you. Kudos for getting on board. read more

This is a good Dewey's. They do the crust right here- other locations seem to overwork it. Staff is friendly. Only thing I wish is they had more appetizers like maybe chicken wings or some dips? That's a complaint about Dewey's tho not this particular location. read more
