The Dewey's has been around a long time. I worked on Burnet Avenue for years and Dewey's was one of the places we'd hit for lunch. This was many years ago. This time we were here on a Sunday, with Dewey's being one of the few sit down restaurants in Clifton open on Sunday. We wanted to meet up with friends for dinner before a show at Ludlow Garage. We arrived around 5:15 and the place was pretty empty. By the time we left it had filled up considerably. Dewey's is still as popular as ever. The restaurant was clean and the service was fantastic. Everyone who stopped by was smiling and helpful. Our drinks were regularly refilled. We ordered the Harvest Salad, which was fresh and tasty. I split with Mark, who ordered it with Ranch rather than the balsamic it usually comes with. I enjoyed it. Our friends also ordered the Harvest Salad and ate it all up. For those interested, the Harvest Salad is one of their current specials and is Field Greens, Toasted Pumpkin Seeds, Figs, Boursin Cheese, Nueske's Applewood Smoked Bacon, Housemade Apple Cider Vinaigrette Dressing. For dinner each couple ordered an 11" pizza. We ordered the DON CORLEONE - Red Sauce, Mozzarella, Pepperoni, Genoa Salami, Capicola Ham, Oregano. It was a lot of meat, which I guess is good, but it was filling. The crust was perfect. Even the edges were tasty. I did have a mishap while grabbing a piece. The pizza and the cardboard it was sitting on fell through the pizza holder. We salvaged it gracefully without needing assistance from the staff. While I enjoyed the pizza, I could have done with half as much. Our friends ordered the PORKY FIG - Fig Jam, Mozzarella, Fontina, Prosciutto, Caramelized Red Onions,Gorgonzola and really enjoyed it. Though we didn't watch, I like how the kitchen is behind glass. Pizza prep and baking is on full display. We have a Dewey's close to us. We've never been there, but we may have to check it out sometime in the future. read more

Believe it or not, this was my first time eating Dewey's pizza. I've heard about them, but never tried them. So when an office I call on ordered from here, I was excited to give them a try. I swung by to pick up their order. The host was friendly and helpful. While I waited, I could peep through the large window to watch them make the pizza. It helped the time go by. The restaurant was clean and open. My pizza was ready quickly so I was off to the office with a stack of huge pizzas. They ordered a variety of pizzas, and I can easily say, I liked them all. I really liked the sweater sauce. Based on this experience, I'd definitely try them again. read more

The food was very good. We got a cheese pizza and a Caesar salad. It was all peanut free for my son with a peanut allergy. I don't like that they don't have and breadsticks or appetizers at all and they don't have a kids menu. Overall the service was mediocre and the ambiance felt very franchise like vs a local place. Would be good pizza option. For lady minute or take out read more

Fresh ingredients on hand-tossed light and air crust. Add a family-sized salad, and you can't lose. This is the place for more "upscale" pizza, if there is such a thing. The dining room is clean, the service is good, and pizza is better than the national and regional chains. I prefer a different place down the road, but that's just a matter of taste. You can't go wrong at Dewey's. read more

Dewey's is a stand by Cincinnati classic. It had been awhile since I visited their Clifton location. I was pleasantly surprised by the new parking lot- it is much bigger and easier to navigate compared to their old one. We visited for a weekday lunch. They were moderately busy, but they quickly moved a few tables to accommodate our group. On this visit we decided to just get pizza. My nephew enjoyed standing at the window and watching our pizza get made. The pizza was cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. We also shared a piece of The Bonbonerie's opera cream cake for dessert. Pro tip: if you enjoy ranch with your pizza, definitely get a cup on the side! read more

mhmmm big fan of dewey's. Solid pizza place in Cincinnati and every time I've been, I've had a good experience. Service is great and super accommodating to all requests. Ambiance is great, there's a ton of indoor seating and you can even see the pizza being made. My friend and I did a half and half pizza. But honestly, I've tried a lot of the options and they are all great. Highly recommended pizza spot! read more

Dewey's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

My friend, former Cincinnati native was in town. We were hanging out in Clifton and got a bit hungry. We ended up at Deweys. I had been in since my son lived with me years ago. Service was friendly, kind and helpful. We opted for half seasonal special, pumpkin pizza with whipped feta, pumpkin seeds then Caprese on the other half. The pizza was delicious! Both sides! I am glad we wondered in. read more

I visited during pizza week but actually got an amazing salad. It was a large portion but was delicious and was not overly drenched in dressing. The waiters were amazing at keeping up with refills and making sure all of our needs were met. There were not many people in the venue, making for a pretty chill and quiet lunch break. read more

I'm from NC,the area I live in doesn't have any good pizza and I come up to Cincinnati for medical appointments so getting this pizza is something I do on a (near) daily base, everything about this pizza is incredible the crust is fluffy soft and crunchy, the sauce is slightly spicy (very slightly imo) I don't get it but my family loves the peppercorn ranch salad ranch so much they got a bottle of it to take home..I love everything about it, I'll most likely be switching hospitals and I mourn the fact I won't get this any more. read more

Have I mentioned I love Dewey's Taco Pizza?? Formally known as the Tito Santana, this is a masterpiece topped with a taco sauce base, perfectly seasoned ground beef, lots of cheese, fritos/corn chips, and onions. After being baked topped with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and the perfect amount of Chipotle ranch which pulls all the flavors together! I could eat this every day, and I wish it were a permanent menu item, though I'll enjoy for the brief windows that is in season. I was so excited and ready to enjoy this pizza that I almost forgot to take a picture, then I remembered I needed to torment a friend that lives out of state with a shot of this beauty - look at the strands of cheese!! I went to this location for lunch with a colleague, it was fairly crowded, though we didn't have to wait long to be seated. Service was prompt and friendly once we were seated. read more

My family and I ordered 3 pizzas and 2 salads for pickup and we were so impressed. We got some mushroom mania one, a pepperoni and a Greek-esq pizza. My suggestion to order the Dr Dre was shut down but it sounds amazing, so I'll be ordering that without em next time! read more

Food was excellent, atmosphere was wonderful, I tried a new wine and was given a taster. I would have never ordered that kind of wine but now I have a new favorite. in case you're wondering, it's the Riesling was not real sweet, be going back isoon for the seasonal salad the chipotle ranch. read more

I've heard great things about Dewey's, and they did not disappoint. It was a busy Saturday, but luckily, we were seated fairly quickly. I loved the pepperoni pizza. The sauce was delicious, and the pepperonis were crisp. The cake, however, is made by a third party and was rather dry for my liking. Overall, I was satisfied with my visit! read more

This is my favorite pizza spot in Cincy. I had waited a year to order the Alabama Shaker specialty pie again. Sadly I ordered takeout and got all the way home--no BBQ sauce after the bake. So disappointing the namesake is missing. I even got a larger pizza to eat leftovers. I wish I was able to run back over. Alas...I guess I'll have to try and get there again before the special ends. It still is pretty tasty. Still love this place. Just check before you leave. read more

I'm always glad to see a gluten-free option at a pizza place. They only offer it as a 12-inch for $3.50 extra. Unfortunately the crust was not crispy at all even though it's thin, it seemed raw and rubbery. I didn't enjoy the Edgar Allen Poe either. One slice had six whole cloves of garlic on it. I couldn't finish my pizza which is rare for me and a waste of money at over $18. read more

We eat a lot of pizza & Dewey's is always a hit! Pizza don't take long, always clean & great customer services! read more

My girlfriend and I often argue about the crusts here but I love them. Crunchy without being too bready. Would've given 5 stars, but have had a couple orders get slightly wrong, but not a huge deal. Veggie pizza is our favorite. read more

Came here with a group of 20 (yes, twenty) without calling ahead and had amazing service. I usually go for their gluten free pizza - which is excellent, mind you - but I this time I got the Greek salad. If only somehow I could replicate their roasted red pepper vinaigrette at home I'd eat salads all day! It had a little bit of heat, but it stepped the taste up from your typical boring Greek salad. I often forget about Dewey's because it's tucked away from Ludlow on Hosea (this was the first time I even noticed they had their own parking lot). It's a shame: Dewey's really has one of the best gluten free pizza crusts in town. This last visit proved that not only are their other offerings worth branching out for, their service is also exceptional. I'd highly recommend Dewey's for small or large groups and carry out. read more

My favorite pizza! You really can't go wrong with any of the pizzas on the menu, my personal favorites are the porky fig and the green lantern, though I never not liked one I've tried! The harvest salad is also really good (though not as good as the Greek salad that they discontinued a few years ago-- that was my favorite salad of all time). Vibes here are always good with friendly servers and fast service. If you're still hungry after dinner get a slice of cake that they get from the BonBonarie (one of my favorite bakery's in town!) read more

Ava is the best server!!! She always wears fun earrings. We come in hopes to see her every couple months. Pizza (Green Lantern) is great, beer is great. 10/10 read more

Very good solid pizza. Crispy pie, great quality toppings, good selection of beers, fast service. You can half half on any flavors. Their specials are well balanced and I usually go with one of these straight off the menu. Do yourself a favor and try their fall Harvest Salad. The combination of figs, goat cheese and pepitas is so so good. read more

Great customer service! Good salad and pizza with unique toppings. Good parking in the busy Clifton area. Kids love to match the pizza be made. The pizza is on the pricy side, but I believe it's worth it. You will take some leftovers home! read more

Not being from the area, we'd never had Dewey's Pizza before so we were excited to try something new. The atmosphere of the restaurant was pleasant and our server was attentive. We got the Bronx Bomber pizza and it was pretty good! read more

Dewey's is definitely one of my top 3 pizza places to go to. I really enjoy their green lantern pizza which includes mushrooms, goat cheese, artichokes and pesto sauce. I called in my order for carry out/curbside pick up. Staff was super friendly and my order was ready by the time I arrived. Their food is always great, but I feel their prices are a little too high. read more

Some of the best pizza I've ever had. We are in town visiting and my husband found a lot of reviews and wanted to try it. Did not disappoint! The freshest veggies! Staff on top of refills and any help you need. Would absolutely recommend to anyone. read more

Dewey's never disappoints , they have a great menu of seasonal selections, as well as for standard menu staple items

Ordered take-away pizza several times throughout the pandemic and I must say my love for Dewey's declined. I remember their pies as one of the best in the area, but I noticed a decline in the quality and taste. Is it only me?? It is very possible I got spoiled by the excellent pizza from The Wheel or Harvest (they closed due to economic impact of Covid-19), but I still like a more classic-American pizza from time to time. There is a fierce competition on the pizza biz and Cincinnati has so many options, so perhaps my taste has changed. The most disappointing thing the past several times was the crust. It was soft and not crunchy. I had to eat the pizza with knife and fork (facepalm), because the slice would not hold its shape. The combinations of flavors are interesting, but the quality of ingredients seem to have declined as well. I am still a huge fan of their harvest salad. This is something I even try to reproduce at home at times. I love this salad. Not so much the pizza anymore. read more

That was one heck of a pie! We got the 17" Ryan's Inferno and it was about double the amount needed for two! The toppings were well prepared. The only downside to the pizza was that the crust was a little bit airy for my taste (but maybe that's just me). Stopped in to pick it up on a Monday evening and it was about a third of the way full. Friendly, helpful staff and the food was ready on time. All-in-all, it was a solid pizza experience. read more

Best Pizza that I ever had. Every time I have it, it's the best place to eat pizza. Can't wait to go back to this place to eat.

I'm trying to review the Dewey's Pizza, by my friends house on Whitfield Ave. in Cincinnati....this pizza and salad we brought home was so delicious. Not sure which one it was but it had vegetable, artichokes...and the crust and pizza were perfect. The salad with pine nuts and goat cheese was the perfect complement. I will eat this again next time I see them! read more

I've long been a fan of Dewey's pizza and still believe it's one of the best chain restaurants that I've visited. I'm always pretty amazed that they can deliver great service and food so consistently across their locations. This place can get packed and parking can be a little tricky in Clifton (per usual), but if you can snag a parking spot and table, you're golden. What's even better? You can join the waitlist at Dewey's via the Yelp mobile app so that you can slide in right as your table is ready without having to wait around! As far as the food, you can't go wrong with pizza or salads (I believe they make their own salad dressing in-house). My favorite pizza is the Ryan's Inferno: olive oil, mozzarella, buffalo chicken, gorgonzola, red onion, with ranch dressing and celery after the bake. This pizza is just heaven.... the ranch dressing is my absolute favorite. Want to feel like a real lush? Ask for some extra ranch on the side and bask in your own gluttonous food coma. It has been a bit since visiting, but I can't wait to find a reason to come back! read more

My very first time visiting Dewey's Pizza on Hosea Ave. I ordered a 13-inch pizza with Canadian bacon, Capicola ham, bacon, and extra pepperoni. The gentleman who took my order over the phone was a joy to talk to. My family very much enjoyed the pizza, and I will return again. Thank you!! For the great service. read more

Dewey's, my beloved Dewey's, I can never get enough or your deliciousness. From your salads to desserts, everything you do is magical. I normally visit the Oakley location, but this one in the Gaslight is also top notch. After a busy day in Eden Park, I went in for an early dinner. Thankfully, Dewey's has a parking lot just across the road and I snagged a spot. Unusual for a Sat night, I also was seated immediately. This visit was off to a spectacular start! I ordered the small (side), harvest salad which is an amazing, seasonal offering. A luscious pile of greens with pumpkin seeds, figs, Boursin cheese, and bacon (but not for this vegetarian) dressed with apple cider vinaigrette. I washed it down with a Warped Wing, cream ale from Dayton, OH. The beer and wine menu is small, but well chosen. Many local offerings makes the list even more interesting. I've never ventured from my favorite pizzas, so I decided to be adventurous and go for a calzone. The large crescent comes stuffed with mozzarella and ricotta. You then get to select three other ingredients (including any of the gourmet options). I went with mixed mushrooms, whole garlic (roasted), and artichokes. Sides of white sauce, which is olive oil with crushed garlic, and marinara make the calzone saucy. Desserts from Bonbonnerie were tempting, but I was as stuffed as my calzone after that meal. You'll never be disappointed with Dewey's - fun atmosphere, delicious pizza, good prices, and great service make it a winner every time! read more

A date and I went to Dewey's Clifton on a Thursday evening. The place closes at 9:00. We couldn't have guessed that, and arrived at 8:30. Dewey's also does not have parking any longer. So by the time we found a parking place and walked into to Dewey's, they were handing people in a booths to-go boxes and mostly working on early closing. read more

Overall, really good pizza flavors and crust, but a bit on the pricier side. Not something you'd probably get all the time, but a good once-in-a-while splurge. The pizza is typically worth the upcharge, but can't say the same for the salads. So far we've tried the... Candied Walnut and Grape Salad - [3.5 / 5] pretty good; what you would expect from the name, but expensive for the portion size Southwest BBQ Chicken - [4.5 / 5] surprisingly delicious! Was unsure about the flavor combo on a pizza, but really enjoyed it Caprice - [4.5 / 5] can't go wrong with this simple classic, always a good decision Bronx Bomber (no olives) - [3.5 / 5] the sausage was really good, but other than that a little plain in flavor We've only ever ordered carryout, but the service has always been friendly! read more

I love Dewey's Pizza, they're quality is top notch and honestly I wish I ate it more, but here is why I don't: SERVICE. My wife and I ordered a take-out order. She recently had surgery and we needed a quick meal that I could run out and grab quickly. We called ahead our order and they told us 30-40 minutes. To make the trip easier, I waited the full 40, making sure they had the time. However, when I came in, they were simply under staffed. The person seating told me that carry out orders were at the bar. Unfortunately, that bartender assumed customers in seats and drink orders for the tables were vastly more important. It took 30 more minutes for the bartender to get through the line of 5 carry out orders. 30. Minutes. That's just bad. And worse, there were other staff members asking to help the bartender, he waived them off. read more

I have passed this specific Dewey's pizza location up multiple times because it always seemed out of the way for me - as it seems to be in an awkward spot hidden behind a few other restaurants. However parking was easy to find and it is close to other places that we wanted to try in Clifton. I'm so happy we gave it a chance because it was a great experience. First I added our name to their waitlist online and this didn't seem to really help with the wait time and they even warned us online that "this is not a reservation" so we were not irritated as well waited about 10-15 minutes on a Friday night. We got the chance to look at the guy hand toss the pizza so at least we weren't bored waiting. Then we were seated and quickly asked what we would like to drink and offered menus. The waitress was kind and allowed us time to review the menu. We ordered a 13 inch original Dewey's pizza and the large Caesar salad. The pizza was delicious and the crust was AMAZING- but we wished we ordered one of their speciality pizzas because some toppings would've escalated it. So we ordered the Socrates 13 inch pizza To-Go and it was made hot and fresh as we were leaving with in 5 minutes. The salad was nice however we felt that is was small and barely enough for two to share. I didn't care for the Caesar dressing and opted for a side of ranch which tasted great! I liked the garlic flavor of the croutons however they were very oily. While the service was quick and kind - it was confusing to follow. There were more than 4 people that helped us in some way through out the night. Which is fine however it made it confusing on who we should ask for assistance and who to leave the tip for. We felt that the seating layout/ organization was messy and disorganized which made it difficult to follow their flow. I think at times this made it hectic for staff however, it seemed like it was working for them overall so we weren't too worried about that. read more
