As I have experienced at the Clifton location, Dewey's Oakley is seemingly incapable of quoting times for food pickup. Was quoted 15 minutes. Arrived 15 minutes after ordering and texted name and space number as instructed. At this point received a text stating food would be out in 10 minutes... annoying but acceptable. It became unacceptable when I had to wait 30 minutes, for a total wait time of 45 instead of the quoted 15. No apologies or accommodations offered or made. The cherry on top is that they got payment upon ordering, not at pickup. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

Always the best pizza and kid- friendly service. They were busy tonight; but always friendly. The salads are the best in town. The pizza is amazing. They focus on those two things, which is why it's always good. The Oakley location is my favorite, but we have never had a bad experience at any location. read more

Pick up service:So this place isn't bad, but it also isn't the best. I ordered pickup on a Thursday at 6:40 pm, arrived at 7:10pm, pizza wasn't ready until 7:15. Not really a big deal, the restaurant looked pretty full once I arrived. Cool thing though is that there's a pretty big window into the kitchen and you can see food being prepped (I have a thing for open kitchens, it takes away the fear of a nasty kitchen in my head lol). Pizza quality: I ordered the Socrates' Revenge (without tomatoes). It comes with olive oil, minced garlic, mozzarella-fontina blend, spinach, black olives, green olives, feta cheese, and red onions. Sounds amazing and actually wasn't bad at all. However, there was BARELY any spinach!!!!!! I could literally count the leaves of spinach on the pizza. The dough was thin and pretty decent I must say. Will I order again and try a different pizza? Sure. Will I actually open the box so I can be sure all the ingredients that are intended to be on the pizza are actually there?? DEFINITELY!!! Btw they have off street parking for a good amount of cars. This is also the area where you enter the restaurant. Do not try to walk up to the door that is facing the street/sidewalk like I did. Lol you will be embarrassed (like I was lol) bc there isn't a door handle for you to pull and it's for emergency exits only. read more

I love Dewey's pizza and love getting to visit every time I'm in Cincinnati. This was my first visit to this location, and I loved it. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable. The staff is great...we never needed anything. I've noticed that Dewey's in general follow an odd service method where you don't have one server, but instead all of the servers will help you with everything. It's different, but it does ensure that you always get what you need, so I'm okay with it. On this trip, we got the Caesar salad and a green lantern pizza. The salad took a bit longer than expected, so when the server brought it to us, he (unprompted) offered to comp it for us. I thought that was very nice, especially because we didn't complain. The salad and the pizza were both amazing as always. We took some pizza back to our hotel room and it was even great later that night cold. I definitely recommend Dewey's...and this location is a great representation of why! read more

Bottom line: EDGAR ALLAN POE WITH PROSCIUTTO IS AMAZING!! When good pizza lovers die and go to pizza heaven, that place is Dewey's pizza! My gosh, this is probably the best pizza I have ever had! I've been living in Cincinnati for 8 months now and have been hearing my peers rave about Dewey's. Today, I finally decided to try it out.. and my oh my, I sure was missing out during these past 8 months! My boyfriend and I had not eaten anything the entire day, so we decided to get a whole 13" pizza all to ourselves. And it was a good thing that we did! We each had 4 slices and were completely satisfied. We ordered half and half of 1) Southwest BBQ Chicken and 2) Edgar Allan Poe with Prosciutto. Both were absolutely to die for! Out of the two though, I did enjoy the Edgar Allan Poe better. I'm excited to come back again to try more of their selections! PS: The service was amazing. Although it was a very busy Sunday night, our servers and all other employees made us feel at home and well-served throughout our dinner. Awesome service, awesome food, awesome experience! read more

Dewey's Pizza - Oakley Square - Half southwest BBQ chicken and half Edgar Allen Poe with prosciutto - Pizza Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Love Dewey's! To me, their crust is what makes it. Also their ranch (I dip my crust). They also have great salads, we typically get a large to split as an appetizer. With Covid, they started accepting online reservations which is great! read more

Dewey's pizza off of Madison road. ive been to this location multiple times. Staff is always super nice and helpful, food comes out super quick, and you can watch them make it if you'd like through the viewing window. I always get the SOUTHWEST BBQ pizza! So good! If you get it, I would recommend adding EXTRA CHICKEN. Sometimes you don't really get a lot of chicken on it. That would be my only complaint. Other than that, flavor is A+. The black beans, corn, tangy bbq sauce, peppers and chicken are a great combo. read more

Good pizza, plenty of vegetarian options. Priced more for premium ingredients but in my opinion worth it! O don't love pizza to begin with, but I'll go back on the rare occasion for some unique flavors at Dewey's! read more

I've gotten takeout from Dewey's every time I have returned home to Cincinnati, from Wisconsin where I now live, in the past year. If I've been home for a longer period of time sometimes I've gotten it two or three times. The pizza is alway fabulous, however they got rid of what was, in my option, the best salad in the world. Every time I return I check the menu searching for their Greek salad and it is no where to be found... This is truly a loss... Dewey's, PLEASE bring back your Greek salad. I think about it everyday and I miss it. read more

My favorite pizza is the Socrates Revenge, but don't skip the salads, they're worth the trip by themselves.

Dewey's is my favorite pizza in the Cincinnati area for a variety of reasons - Easily have the best customer service. We had a huge party come in and they easily made accommodations for us. They made a mistake with our pizza order and immediately apologized, let us have the incorrect pizza, and brought us out the correct pizza in a matter of minutes. They didn't even hesitate. And on top of that, with our huge party they let us split checks without any hassle. It was a great service all around!! The pizza combinations are excellent as well, my favorite is easily the Green Lantern, I highly suggest it!! Lastly, they have a window where you can actually see the pizza being made. Whenever my pizza is being made I like having visibility to it being made and they have a giant with the workers behind it cranking out the pies! read more

This is quite possibly the best salads in all of Cincinnati. I love all of them but my favorite is the peppercorn ranch. The pizzas are phenomenal too ( I highly recommend the green lateen). But be careful, they get very very busy on weekends! read more

My favorite pizza in town! Their original with cheese is my favorite followed by their Ryan's Inferno, buffalo chicken pizza which comes with a side of ranch. Their salads are also top notch, house is the best. Recently tried their house white wine a blend and one of the best refreshing white wines I've had, plus proceeds from this wine go to local charities. Go to Dewey's now! read more

Ordered two pizzas last night. Two separate orders called in at the same time. Waited 45 minutes before we picked them up as instructed. We were told that my pizza was ready but there was a problem with my friends pizza. The Manger told us that the missing pizza got list in the oven ! Whatever that meant. In the meantime, my pizza is sitting on the bar top getting cold. Host said they would put it on the warmer. Manager tells my friend he is giving him a $25 gift card for his inconvenience. What about my inconvenience? Half hour later my friend gets his pizza and I retrieve mine which was sitting on the warmer the entire time. I asked to speak to the manager to tell him of my inconvenience. I get from sorry, we are doing the best we can to which I responded that if that's their best it wasn't good enough. I must add that this was the second carryout in a row that this happened. Got home and guess what? My pizza was a disaster! Toppings dried up and crust was stiff as cardboard. We couldn't eat it it was so bad. My wife called and complained to same manager at which time he offered a $25 gift card. This restaurant is very poorly managed. The manager seems to be walking around in a daze not really aware of what's happening around him and his customer service skills are non existent. I have been to other locations and have had good experiences. Noot at Oakley. It doesn't matter that he offered a gift card, after the fact, to little to late in my opinion. I will never go back. read more

Some of the best pizza in town. It feels like a premium joint, but with reasonable prices. High quality food all around and attentive waitstaff. Love the caprice for a simpler pie but plenty of adventurous (and popular!) options. read more

Wow, Dewey's Pizza was really impressive. The menu is impressive, I was overwhelmed with the choices. The most flavorful dish was Calzone, me and my friend really loved it. It was so delightful. And also, the service was terrific and the staff was super welcoming. I will definitely be back again next time I'm in area. read more

My all-time FAVORITE pizza place in Cincinnati. The pizzas are perfectly cooked and you can tell they use high-quality ingredients in their food. My favorites are the Bronx Bomber and Killer Veggie, but honestly they are all good. The salads are also fantastic. The seasonal Harveat salad is my favorite, but the House salad is very good too. Staff is friendly and their curbside pick-up is convenient. Do recommend. read more

I am a huge fan of Dewey's and the Oakley location never disappoints! Staff is always super friendly and nice while also being quick and attentive. I have dined in at this location multiple times with great service and most recently I got a carry-out order of two house salads with chicken. We ordered it when we got there and waited only a few minutes for them to be ready and we were on our way! I went there on National Pizza Day a few weeks ago as well as they had emailed me a coupon for $5 off a large pizza for being part of their rewards program which was a great deal. Definitely worth it to join their rewards program, I got a free side salad just for signing up. When I picked up my large pizza for carry-out to my surprise I got a free Dewey's pint glass as well! Which is very exciting for me because I am a huge Dewey's and pizza fan! :D read more

Dewey's has THE BEST salads and pizza. The staff is always friendly no matter the time of day. We ordered take out from them this weekend and they are set up to be as safe as possible. Thank you for all your staff is doing to keep pizza night a thing in our house! read more

We have been dining here since the restaurant first opened and it has been a favorite all these years. Not only is the food prepared well but the service has always been so good that one almost feels like a family member while dining there. This is not a cookie-cutter operation, the staff will often recognize repeat customers and it's a real treat. The house salad is the only side I've tried and I can't get enough of it. All the specialty pizzas are all worth trying and believe me, I have no regrets. In all these years of dining in and carry-out I have only once received a mistake and when I brought it to the attention of the local store the general manager was quick to make amends. You can't go wrong here, it simply isn't on the menu. read more

Best gluten free pizza around. The atomosphere is awesome and like a retro pizza joint. Perfect for a family or friends get together. We love it! read more

Great local spot for pizza. Super delicious and a must within Cinci. Besides their pizza, they had a great salad! I was super impressed since most pizza places do not have the best salad. I will be returning to grab a salad to go one night. Make sure to get a salad to pair with their great pizza! read more

I write this fully understanding that they are a private business and can do whatever they want, within the bounds of the law. That said... My dad took my minor daughter to the one on Harrison Ave for dinner on 8/24. The restaurant manager refused them service because my father refused to provide personal information for himself and my minor child for "contact tracing purposes". Supposedly my father asked if any employees have gotten sick, and they refused to answer. Again, I'm aware that, by law, they have the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason. But this is absurd. And a shame, because their food and their service is usually so good. read more

Love Dewey's since they opened years ago. My fav is the Edgar Allen Poe!! Yum-a-lay!! Great customer service + wine selection! It's a must when we're back in Cincy. read more

I give some restaurants five stars because I really, really like them and I give others five stars because I literally could not live without them. This is the latter. I have never had better pizza than this... Anywhere. One of my favorite things about Dewey's is how weird they can be, in a good way. Although they do have 'ordinary' pizzas, they always encourage you to try something different with their specialty and seasonal pizzas. I've never been anywhere else that offers a hotdog pizza (or even a pizza with mustard, for that matter), but I've heard that it was actually a great pizza. I'm really picky about what I eat, so the fact that they encourage unique pizzas is awesome. Where else can you get a black bean corn salsa, pine nut, barbecue sauce pizza with smoked cheddar and not even get a second look from the waiter? The salads are just as unique as the pizza, but like the pizzas, they do offer a peppercorn ranch salad (basically a garden salad) for the not-so-adventurous among us. My only gripe with the place is that when I order a salad and ask for mozzarella instead of Parmesan, they're very careful to word it "No Parmesan, add mozzarella" so they can charge you extra. A few words to the wise, get there before the usual dinner rush or be ready to wait 30-45 minutes. If there's a line, wait it out - it's totally worth it, plus you can watch them toss the pizzas while you wait! I go to college in Michigan, but fortunately, it's only a four hour drive to the closest Dewey's, otherwise I wouldn't make it through school! read more

PARENTS: YOUR KIDS ARE RUINING IT FOR THE REST OF US. The last few times l have been here the place is packed with kids not being monitored by parents. This is not Chuck Es. Tonight was last straw. Huge birthday party of 8 yo's running around the restaurant. I mean seriously. Places have private rooms. Don't know if it is the neighborhood? But my last visit at this Deweys. read more

When has Dewey's every failed me? NEVER. It is consistently delicious, no matter what location you try. Salads, pizza, everything has the perfect blend of flavors. Customer service is always great, and kids love watching the pizzas being made through the large windows. Yum. :) read more

I haven't met a pizza I haven't liked and Dewey's always delivers the yumms. Being originally from Cincinnati, I have a love affair with local small businesses that turns into over all successes. Way to go Dews! Dewey's pizza is different from those use to Donato's and Larosa's. Their crust is thinner, crispier and lighter. The toppings are always fresh and cooked to perfection. I love the creativity of the pizzas and the fact that they have rotating seasonal selections. I personally have enjoyed every pizza I've gotten, partial to the olive oil based ones that load on the veggies and cheeses. There a couple of them and each is delish: Wild Mushroom, Socrates' Revenge, Edgar Allan Poe etc....YUM! The salads are also incredible, my personal favorite being the House Salad, the name is basic but the taste is incredible. I'd recommend splitting a regular size with the table. The service is always great and they'll never let your glass go below half full which is appreciative. I use to order Dewey's routinely for my sororities dinner meetings and they've always been very accommodating and reliable, especially when you're trying to feed over 100 people at a time. Can't thank them enough for some how managing to stuff over 15 pizzas in the back of my Jeep Wrangler, props to the great staff. read more

If you have never been to Dewey's here the short and sweet version of my thoughts: they have excellent pizzas with a slightly sweet crust and premium toppings. Their salads are excellent especially with a bit of chicken. Sweets come from local bakeries like Bonbonarie. Specially for this location: staff are excellent and the restaurant is clean. Parking can be a bit tight (there is a lot but it fills up fast). read more

Dewey's Edgar Allen Poe and Green Lantern pizzas are packed with flavor and their walnut grape salad is just as delicious. It's a staple in our family because of its clean, family friendly atmosphere and nice selection of beer. Their staff is consistently pleasant and professional. Carry-out is also a great option! I've never been disappointed with their pizza. read more

We tried to call ahead to see how long the wait was because we have a newborn, but they told us to check on the Yelp app and mark our place online. However so could find where that is so we showed up. There's almost no waiting area space and it was super crowded. I pushed my way to get to the hostess only to find out there was a line of people just to put our name in. I asked the bartenders but they had no idea how long the wait was. I waited a few minutes but the hostess was no where to be found. So we just walked out and went someplace just as good with no wait nearby. read more

I am a regular at Oakley Deweys and love it so much that I would be devastated if I moved away and didn't have any Deweys near me. The food is so consistent, always fresh and so delicious. The menu is simple with the addition of a seasonal pizza, salad and wine. Service is extremely fast and the atmosphere is clean, not cluttered with dusty knick-knacks. Definitely order: +peppercorn ranch salad (homemade ranch-SO GOOD) +candied walnut and grape salad (can sub out gorgonzola for feta or chevre) +green lantern, poe, caprice, meatball...and pretty much any others (the nice thing is that you can split the pizza in half and try two kinds) +definitely get dessert! The Opera Cream Torte is delish from Bon Bonerie and perfect to split with two people. I really appreciate their devotion to community and staying local. They are huge supporters of local non-profits and contribute to Artswave annually during pledge time. I love their philosophy as a business and will continue to support them as my favorite local pizza eatery! read more

Dewey's, Dewey's, Dewey's. How much did I miss you? A lot apparently. Let me back up. I used to live in Cincy, in Oakley. I was there when Dewey's in Oakley Square first opened. So this is going back 12 or so years. Used to eat at this location (especially cause it was the only one for a while), and claimed it as some of the best craft pizza I have ever had. I literally said this for years and years after moving out of OH, and always thinking about it. I was was fortunate enough to recently go through Cincy for a business trip. After my flight and a quick visit of my old house and such, it was 5 pm and I was starving, so decided to go to the Dewey's I knew (original plan was go to go Dewey's in Columbus as that's where I needed to be for work). So glad I choose this plan. First, inside hasn't changed. I don't mean that negatively. Didn't look run down or anything, just how I remembered it. What did change was the beers on tap......they were all local. Say what? That's new! (to me). Very cool. I ordered the harvest salad (very good) then a small 1/2 1/2 of Green Lantern (the mother of all pizzas) and the other half Edgar Allen Poe. Insanity I tell you. So freakin good. It did not disappoint. Sometimes what you remember is shattered by updated taste buds, other....but I'm so glad that Dewey's will live on in my head as one of the best pizzas I have ever had. Here's to not waiting another 12 years! read more

Dewey's pizza is the best pizza in Cincinnati. I dare you to prove me otherwise. (Side note: My best friend came into town from Los Angeles for a week. One our first dinner was at Dewey's. By the end of her trip, she couldn't stop raving about this place! Mission accomplished. Another Dewey convert!) Dewey's is always relatively quick and delicious. I've carried out and dined-in many times. Bar none, the best service I've received at a Dewey's location is this one in Oakley. Even if it's super crowded, you get seated rather promptly. Drink orders are quickly followed by salad/pizza orders. The regular sized salads are pretty ginormous. It's easy enough to feed two people. My favorites are the house and greek salads. The house salad has my joie de vivre - goat cheese. It's mixed with greens cranberries, pine nuts and a tangy balsamic vinaigrette. On the other hand, the greek salad a roasted red pepper vinaigrette piled high with cucumbers, garlic, kalamata olives and feta cheese. I think I tend to get the greek salad more, but oh my gosh are they BOTH delicious. On to the pizza! I've had almost every pizza Dewey's offers. The dough is thin with a relatively "crispy" crust. Think New York Style but not as thin as those cult-ish NY pizza loving fiends would desire. My favorite is pretty controversial. I LOVE the Socrates Revenge. It's simply amazing. Lots of olives, garlic, spinach tomatoes and cheese...I love a good Mediterranean motif and this pizza's got Mediterranean all over it. Secondly, I would say the Green Lantern tends to be a people pleaser with red sauce, garlic, mushroom, goat cheese, mozzarella and pesto - it's something different but delectable. If you're not feeling too adventurous, their X-pepperoni pizza is pretty standard and clutch. One of the best parts of eating here, is you can mix and match your tastes...aka HELLO half/half pizza! Dewey's isn't super cheap. If you want cheap, check out one of the bigger franchises and their monthly gimmick. If you want GOOD pizza, hit up Dewey's! read more

This is the best pizza in Cincinnati. I love the Hawaiian pizza in a calzone, the Edgar Allen Poe pizza, the grape walnut salad, and the plain mozzarella-fontina blend pizza w/red sauce on the side. The Amish chicken is quiet fresh and lovely, too. Didn't love the meatballs here, though. I was expecting some homemade meatballs and I got this gnarly meatball that you know came from a processed food factory. Other than that strange blip, most things Dewey's Pizza have been legit from Day 1. read more

You really can't go wrong with Dewey's. Easily one of my top favorite pizza places ever. This Oakley location is my favorite location to go too. It's a good size, it's usually not over packed. Even when it is full we never have to wait long. The pizza is always cooked to perfection. The servers are always on it. Dewey's has really amazing salads and specialty pizzas. The Candied Walnut And Grape salad is my favorite. My family always gets a regular sized one which is a good size and we split it before our pizza. They also have seasonal salads that are always great so if your server doesn't tell you about it, ask. The specialty pizzas are unique and delicious. They actually have the perfect mixture of toppings and it's never weird questionable ingredients where you are just like "Why would you do that to a pizza? and how am I even supposed to eat this?" Which happens a lot lately. My favorites are The Dr. Dre (Without Jalapenos Though. I don't play that.) and the Bronx Bomber is super tasty. Dewey's also has a great selection of beer on tap as well. Local and other. So this makes Dewey's the perfect place to go and grab a amazing pizza and a cold beer. read more

First time in the Oakley area. I went to Dewey's based on the recommendations of friends. I ordered a cheese pizza with a side Cesar salad. I was not impressed. The dough tasted like frozen dinner pizza. Two stars for polite staff and cleanliness. read more

Where else can you find two great men from history--Socrates and Edgar Allan Poe-- side by side? Only at Dewey's, which offers delectable and unique pizza creations. Dewey's offers excellent veggie options, like the Socrates Revenge & Killer Veggie. With a selection of sauces, toppings, and the ability to make your own pizza, Dewey's offers a little something for everyone. The staff is great- friendly, attentive, and super helpful for first timers like myself! A word of advice: get there early for dinner, especially on weekends. Be ready for a good 30-45 minute wait during rush---but believe me, it's worth it! You can grab some drinks and watch make the pizzas when you wait. Not being from Ohio, Dewey's was a new experience for me---and I'm so happy I've discovered it.I'm already planning another date with Socrates soon! read more
